Yea, we see how that worked out with the housing crash. 0.o

But last far longer, so fewer are produced and the aggregate effect is less.

Sam, one of the best pieces to hit Giz in some time. Well done sir.

I hate you for that... lols

Well, you got most of that right until the end. See, what happens is, instead of a nice gradual return to a smoothly varying equilibrium, you get a swinging pendulum of booms and crashes of all species involved. As a result, the genetic diversity of them all is significantly decreased, and the populations are more…

Oh noes

Please don't get my hopes up. I want a refreshed Air so bad I can taste it, and was VERY disappointed at WWDC.

This is an awful idea. Never, NOT ONCE, has the introduction of a 2nd invasive species been a suitable counter for a first. Now, bird species have TWO huge populations to feed on for a while, and then they will have their own population crash. And then their predators will as well.

Different layers of air.

And shorter battery...

Apple is just sticking together with its fellow oppressive regimes...

Seeing as the entire plant is gas, I'd say it's both, depending on your frame of reference...

If you can put steel toes in them, ok.

Ok, all good answers. But I'm looking at this and thinking, so you blast the bejeesus out of this H-bb, get all kinds of bonus energy. Cool. Then you have to replace the bb? Is there a limit to the size of said bb?

So... I guess the question that remains is.... WHY? I mean, don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome, and worth doing just because. But that being said, what do they want to accomplish?

I'm glad SOMEONE knows what a nematode is.

Nope. Air filters FTW.

...laced with SARS.

OR Sandy Bridge, or memory card readers or user replaceable batteries... Oh, wait.
