@Lawrence Miller: We have plasmas at work in the cafeteria that have been on nearly continuously for four years, usually tuned to news stations. They are definitely showing signs of burn-in. But for the average consumer, it's not going to be an issue.

@doompod: It's both, since the measurement also tells us how old this image is (i.e. what point in time we are looking at).

"This is NGC 7023. .. located in the constellation Cepheus, 1,300 light-years from planet Earth"

"Literally true" is a legal standard under the Lanham Act that governs false advertising claims. If a statement is literally true, the plaintiff needs to establish consumer confusion by submitting consumer surveys showing that a statement that is literally true is nonetheless misleading to consumers or imparts a…

@goaliegeek: Texting is really a "phone" function and should be made to multitask over top any other application. It not resource-heavy either. I hope in the next update they will allow this.

I still think we need a foldering system on the iPhone. So you can file your Games in one folder, your Twitter stuff in another. Yes it's a return to conventional file structures but those structures work. The second video showing 9 screens at a time full of icons isn't so helpful unless you recognize the icon…

@TrentBinky: I [EYE] what [TRENTBINKY] did [PLACE].

Lots of cones because the lamp post is falling down and could roll into the road.

@Alphamazing: We are always here. You just don't know it. Watch your back.

@413wedge: Actually, they are pretty far apart.

It is real and under investigation:

I would say it's real, considering how the plane becomes realistically backlit after it passes in front. He probably got a wingtip vortex, not jet thrust wash, because he wasn't lined up behind the engines by the time he gets hit, and the engines are probably no more than idling.

He should not be flying anywhere near an airport approach path. One stupid incident is all it will take for the FAA to kill our hobby. Moron.

The answer is "none" because the economics still don't make sense. Even with the tax break. And especially now that gas has come down in price. (It didn't make sense at $4/gallon either.) People who buy these are just trying to make a statement.

That doesn't look like a street-legal bumper. Hard to see how this would be more practical than a car rental. Even a parking-lot door ding would send you to the hangar for an inspection.

It's a crazy idea, but you might have said the same thing if a few years ago you had suggested that Apple Computers should launch portable music players in an effort to replace Discman and other portable CD players. Yet here we are and they have done it.

Why don't they just have the generator kick in when the battery is at 10%? Maybe you change your mind about where you are going, or are driving to a place where you can plug in again? It seems unnecessary to begin charging the battery in anticipation of how far away from home you are.

There's an iPhone App that does the same thing for $0.99
