@Dys: The idea that killing people is messed up notwithstanding, the military's job is to kill people and break stuff (or be able to). The goal is always two fold: 1) make sure you can kill someone or break something anywhere at any time, and 2) only kill or break exactly what you want and nothing more. So while…

@minibeardeath: Thats the only advantage, huh?

@Torokun: you didnt play Myth, did you....

any news on the verizon iPhone? or the white one for that matter?

@im10horses: in soviet russia, meme theme writes itself.

In soviet russia...

all that to get a broken helicopter back?

@taniquetil: I sincerely hope you are right.

@taniquetil: Air superiority is really the only thing. Everything follows that. Without it, your predators, A-10's and helo's dont fly and the boots on the ground are vulnerable. What the past 25 years of warfare have taught us is that if you are up against and under funded and ill-equipped force, and you can…

seems to me the distinction between voice and data plans is absurd, and a carry over when it was just voice. Either way you slice it, its bits. For mobile devices, those bits are carried by Verizon, ATT, sprint, etc. My hope is that the wireless carriers will simplify their model to be only data plans, with the…

It looks like 2 BMW K1300s bikes ran head on into each other while someone briefly suspended the laws of physics. Which is, i guess, an unclever way of saying: those swing arms are directly poached from a K1300s.

@rbagheera: couple of points:

Dear Giz Writers,

Thats BS. I was in the class (Stanford D.School, product launch class) with the guys who developed Pulse, and we went through all the legal stuff. The NYT is just pissed that they got their butts handed to them by a couple of grad students. If you guys ever wanted a classic battle of old-world corporate heritage…
