You sure are being optimistic today! I think the idea of live-broadcasting HD video to a mass audience from phones is pretty inevitable, and the first group to pull it off will definitely have their foot in the door. The technology is likely to spread, and I can almost guarantee a new form of "TV" programming will…

Without massive training in ASL or some kind of air-steno method, this couldn't be faster than a keyboard...definitely no faster than voice recognition.

It actually said "You are today's winner!"

this works even better with Double Chocolate ice cream.

Or if you really wanted to do something like that, you could buy concrete, some metal tubing, an enclosure, and maybe a pump for a lot cheaper... and still build something that used the concrete as a heat battery for about 100-200 bucks.

So their pilots can suffocate too?

The RIAA is a group that originally existed solely to define the crossover frequencies and basic mastering standards so that a record would sound roughly the same on every phonograph. The RIAA, and industry at large, mostly exist as an oversized parasite feeding off of the hardworking artists they "Support" with loans…

It's not like I couldn't if I wanted to. It's the idea that every week Giz is stroking the ego of some hack "Artist" making crap like this, or the concrete block light, or the many lighting creations made from a simple piece of folded cardboard or paper that were previously featured, all of which cost 600-1200 dollars…

Don't give them any ideas.

They did 6 years ago, but LED lighting has really come into its own as of late.

If we stop providing a forum for all these people making overpriced lighting fixtures out of inexpensive materials, maybe they'll go away!

So if I stick some light bulbs in a block of something and call it functional art, I too can charge 800 bucks? Will anyone pay?

And if it's like any other lighting fixture on Giz, it will cost 650 bucks or more.

So, the value in the company is as a data mining operation..? Who all do they sell this stuff to, anyway?

He should follow Tom's example and cash out while the money's good. Everyone who wants FB has it, and aside from even more ads, there's not too many un-realized monetization options that haven't been covered. I could be wrong, but that stock's worth as much as it ever will be.

When the government regulated the airlines, it was a bit more expensive... but damn was the service nice. Some planes had a piano bar and a smoking room.

Hey now, that's not fair. I clearly remember hearing that they upgraded some systems on the orbiters to use hardened i286's and i386's! Modern technology.

....It's a rocket. You were expecting something different?

Given the high-profile nature of the issue, along with the well-known fact that homosexual couples have a higher level of expendable income than their heterosexual counterparts, it makes perfect sense to take advantage of the situation. It actually makes good business sense - Free advertising while broadcasting the…

If it isn't legal, what would be the crime, aside from possibly "disturbing a corpse"? Who's jurisdiction would it be, since it's in international waters? Revealing where it is won't give any enemy a useful advantage other than perhaps in some abstract psychological way. It doesn't matter though, I'm sure the USA…
