Texas? I STILL would not pay $16 for a house in Texas... Because it's in Texas! ;-)

And drove where exactly?

Hi Everyone,

Another interesting bit of info... You will also see a lot of little round holes in the panels with a red ring around them. These are special holes that allow you to spray a special fire extinguisher behind the panels. Fortunately I don't think it ever had to be used.

Yes... Every shuttle flew with a roll of duct tape on board.

The blue squares are Velcro. The Velcro squares allow you to stick stuff to the walls instead of having items float all over the cabin.

I just posed my high resolution Virtual Tour of the Space Shuttle in a new FLASH player. I believe these are the highest resolution VR photos ever taken inside the shuttle.

By the way... I just want o be clear. This IS a horrific tragedy. (And very sad.) Unfortunately the poor individual in this photo did not understand the consequences stowing away in a landing gear bay. (It seldom ends up well...)

Now this is a false warning. It says "WARNING: Strong Image" Yet the image is no longer strong. It has been blocked by black squares. FALSE ADVERTISING! I am now upset because you say its supposed to be a "Strong Image" but it's been CENSORED. ;-)

Great. Thanks. You BROKE IT. Now we can't see the picture at all because you complained. ;-)

No they are NOT! They are not climate controlled. They are not pressurized. Basically the landing gear is in a box outside the airplane. If the mechanism does not crush you the altitude will suffocate you or you freeze to death. The landing gear compartment is NOT the place to hide.

I have one word for Netflix. CANCELLED!

Todays launch brings a sense of sadness & nostalgia.

I don't want smaller. The iPhone 4 is small enough. Any smaller and it will slip out of your hand and drop & smash to bits. What I DO want is an option in iOS to SHUT OFF multi tasking background apps. They kill battery life and I spend a lot of time killing apps that are draining my battery.

My battery on my iPhone 4 lasts a week. I just close apps when I am not using them. I switch the phone into 2G mode in areas with poor 3g coverage. It lasts a week no problem.

My Lava Lamp does the same thing all day long... In color.

This was a job for a ROBOT. And that't exactly why I designed a robot called the Ferret.

While I still prefer my iPhone... It's good to see competition.

Some BMW 7 series and some Cadillac models have "sealed" engines with a recommended oil change at 100,000 miles. (They hold 12 quarts of oil and have a HUGE filter.)
