They're in NEW ZEALAND.

For me nothing will replace SMS. I will never ask a girl at a bar for her facebook/iMessage, and like-wise I would not give out mine.

The frequency of glancing up needs to be proportional to the speed that you're walking. I prefer holding the phone up high, right infront of me, so I can use my peripheral vision to be aware of my surroundings. I know I shouldn't be texting while driving, and I don't do it a lot, but I also like to have the phone…

Every time that movie is mentioned I can't help but feel angry over how Hailee Steinfeld (Mattie in the film) was robbed of her Best Supporting Actress oscar. The very first scene of her negotiating the horses just blew me away. It was, in my books, one of the best performances in a long time by a very talented young…

Only helium-3 is worth mining from the moon. Standard helium extracted from natural gas wells contains 10^-6 ratio of helium-3 to helium-4, the standard isotope. :-)

Maybe people don't use it because it's terrible? I use Facetime & skype a lot on my iPad...

Yea, would be interested in hearing about the thickness, weight & battery life specs. A better front camera would also be useful. You know what would be amazing for facetime/skype though? If they managed to hide the front camera at the CENTER of the display, that way you could look at the other person and make digital…

sexC. I just hope there's fine control of hiding items in the "library view"; accidental listing of adult material can be highly embarrassing. :-)

After feeding people for a week, then what? The adage "Give a man a fish, teach a man to fish" rings a bell.

The real question is: do we really need humans? We need to eat, breathe, can only work 10 hours a day, and also need a return ticket (while we're building the thing). This would increase the cost of the whole project nearly 10 folds. The robotic rovers on Mars have done a superb job. Even mining can be all done by…

All the above advice is good but it depends on what kind of "weight" you want to put on and for what purpose. Junk food (high calories) will allow you to put on weight as fat. Probably what you don't want. Severe adverse effects to your health is possible from this of course. If you want to gain some lean muscle then…

Not fully understanding the deals, sorry. My domain is registered with GoDaddy right now and does not expire until 2013. If I went with Namecheap which gives me "a $6.99 domain transfer to their registration service" does that mean I pay $7 to get my domain with Namecheap with the old expiry date? What about the 10%…

No, it's not. For the fission process to be self-sustained there needs to be moderation slowing down and reflecting the neutrons. A reaction can be stopped or slowed down by putting a neutron absorber near the fuel elements. No safety standards in the world would allow a "run away", "unstoppable" fission reaction to…

This is a pretty ignorant comment. How do you know it is caused by "biological" differences? There's so much societal pressure for women to work in "traditional" fields (e.g. nursing) and that's if they are lucky and not just expected to stay at home. Also working and studying in an environment with 80% males can't be…

Sweet! So these meters not only save you money by letting you monitor your power usage better, but they can also reduce your bandwidth costs and save you paying for your netflicks subscription. It's a WIN-WIN, I say.

If this process can be understood and applied to a future biotech-fabric it should most definitely be deployed as victoria secret changing room curtains. Now you see it, now you don't!

Your mileage may vary for the headlights tip.

You think only 99.9% of the WORLD'S population? I think more like 99.999%. We are the 0.001%!

I agree. With Jobs it was much more focussed and efficient research. Now, however, they should start to ramp up the research spending incase Cook doesn't show the same visionary style. If not, they might fall behind. With this much cash surplus it should be easy enough to convince the investors.

Glad it worked for you in the end. The problem you mention sometimes happens to me. I've had to redownload the wikipedia offline data for the Encyclopedia app several times because of this. What's this "uninitialized variable" problem that you mentioned?
