This plan is pointless. The Earth's core will have cooled long before any of this is even a concern. Without a molten iron core spinning around the center of the planet, the Earth will cease to have a magnetic field. No magnetic field, no protection from solar radiation. The Earth gets roasted anyway.

If memory serves, Gordon Gekko was the antagonist in Wall Street. Just saying.

"Plus, take a look at America now, many are living like peasants. The middle class is shrinking, many moving into poverty levels. And the poorer are getting poorer."

Dude, if you didn't post this, I was going to. And I make the same "gesture".

One of the big problems with weight loss is the obsession with weight loss. We shouldn't be worried about how fat we are, we ought to be worried about how healthy we are. You can be unhealthy being skinny as well. People starve themselves to get skinny- and it's insane.

If you eliminate a lot of things from your diet, you will lose weight- including carbs. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a healthy choice to make, nor does it address the underlying causes of obesity. We eat an insane amount of fat and carbs in this country.

I'm sorry, but Myth # 2 said nothing about diabetes. It said that eliminating carbs won't make you lose weight. I doubt they would disagree with the connection between consuming carbs in excess and diabetes. Carbs in moderation are fine.

I agree. What HFCS does is make sugar cheap. Cane sugar is a lot more expensive by comparison. Sugar sells because it tastes good, and removing that economic barrier means it gets into EVERYTHING. It doesn't help that corn is subsidized by the government, whereas sugar cane isn't (I don't think, I could be wrong…

When it comes to corn syrup, I don't think that it's any worse than any other sugar out there. The problem with it is that it makes sugar cheap. That makes it easy to add into EVERYTHING.

The only annoyance I have is that the update keeps crashing...

We can't wait a week people?

True, but Apple has built a reputation on building entirely new technology from scratch and have them work relatively flawlessly from day one. Apple's products have always been more expensive than their competitors, and the reason people pay more is because they expect excellence.

Yeah, but he's talking about the post-NeXT era of Apple. The Newton happened largely during Jobs' absence.

My biggest problem with Apple Maps has to do with the fact that the maps are often just wrong, and no one seems to do anything about it. There's a road in my town- a US highway no less, that opened a new parkway last December- a move that completely changed traffic in the area. Google Maps updated their maps within…

Jonathan, you need to calm the hell down. First of all, New York is one of the great recycling cities in the world. Not in the separate-your-plastic-and-aluminum sort of way. I mean that if you have, say, an old bookcase that you don't have room for in your new apartment, you can leave it out front and someone…

One way to get around the "tragic flaw" would be to allow you to access your contacts from the Google Maps search field, like you used to be able to do. So instead of going into your contacts and hitting the address field for "Grandma", you just search for it in the Google Maps app. If it has this function already,…

I'm glad Google Maps is back (except on the iPad, but I don't really use Maps on the iPad anyway). However, I wish I could access my contacts from the app like you used to be able to do in the old Google maps. That's really my only complaint.

The Surface is another of Microsoft's "Johnny-come-lately" products. It reminds me of the Zune. It doesn't add anything groundbreaking to the mix other than a $16 keyboard you can buy for $120.

KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

It starts out as a compilation that appears to be taken from "Planet Earth," and about halfway through switches to something akin to a GoPro commercial. The footage is fantastic, but I think it should have ended around 3:30 when it faded to black.
