Gah, as I didn't have enough books on my reading list already.

@Stupiderthanthou: Well in Honeycomb you won't have to bother with any silly buttons that say which is the dominant orientation.

Great overview of Honeycomb that shows what's in store for these tablets once they come out.

@rhoa23: If you use Fire Fox you can use an extension called "Download Helper" that let's you download embedded flash videos (and other media types).

@Roklimber: I remembered wrong, it wasn't a test done by nasa after all, but the part about 10 RPM was still true. Updated my earlier post with source link of the actual study.

@corpore-metal: See my posts above for why that wouldn't be necessary.

@CVDon: Luckily it turns out that spin rates comfortable for humans is a lot higher than previously thought:

@Roklimber: Actually some more recent studies have shown that spin rates up to 10RPM is completely comfortable for humans after a short acclimation period. And even better, the same test showed that the astronauts would be able to exit the centrifuge without needing to repeat the acclimation when re-entering.

@Dregas: Actually I read a NASA paper a few years back that expressedly stated that their astronauts were unable to get it up properly while in space.

@hdgotham: Normally gravity ensures that the majority of fluids in your body is pooled in your legs, but in microgravity the blood pressure is equalized across the entire body.

@Ninety-9: My GF gets around the palm sensitivity problem by wearing fingerless gloves while painting.

@ps61318: I'm sure there was some kind of tablet/pda/whatever that did in fact use a BT stylus to allow for pressure sensitivity w/o an active digitizer, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

@ps61318: He was talking about the Asus Eee Pad MeMo, which does indeed have a pressure sensitive stylus despite being Android based and having no Wacom.

@Curves: Reminds me of one time I was visiting a friend:

@daqman: And the blue dots are X-Ray sources, another thing which you won't be taking pictures of with just any old camera.

@PenitentPenguin: Trying to run a standard DSLR for extremely long exposures they get hot enough that they automatically shut down to prevent the sensor from overheating and damaging the camera.

@Bluecold: And the blue dots are X-Rays.

@mikecoscia: It runs Win7 according to Engadget, the Razor software is just a skin atop windows.
