You still have to use some from of electricity to compress the air... so I don't think the environmental impact would be any better. I'm sure they'd be cheaper, though.

Share the same what with Mars?? Don't leave me in suspense!!

I saw this movie several months ago and I agree the first and second half of the movie feel like they were written by different people. The first half is awesome. I wish they would have kept up with that skeptic debunking ghosts theme.

Depends on the plane, but generally yes.

Just a pre-flight test of all the flight control surfaces, similar to this pre-flight test of an F22.

Definitely just a moldy ball.

I don't think they're burned. I think that's just mold growth on the ends from it being out in the elements for a while.

Yup... That's exactly what it is... just deflated and it's obviously been exposed to the elements for a while.

Definitely looks man-made. I can see mold marks on the tentacles.

I sorry, but these are not holograms in ANY sense of the word.

Prepare to be disappointed. I'm still waiting on my hover car.

Rows of icons? Ok. That's used on everything. Galaxy tab has a 5x7 grid of icons in its app drawer (don't get me started on how they're comparing the android app drawer to the iPad desktop). iPad has a 4x5 grid.

That's what I was saying. ;) I don't see how someone could hold the iPad mini in one hand, thereby negating one of the best features of a 7" tablet.

In what way? I like the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Slightly funny. I liked the Stephan Jobes bit, but damned if I don't think that Galaxy Tab and iPad look nothing alike save for the fact that it's a black rectangle.

Indeed. There's no way someone could hold the mini iPad in one hand like you can with a Fire or a Nexus 7.

If it were JUST the phone & music icon, I could understand the concern, even though I think the phone icon is, forgive the pun, "iconic" already and is silly to argue about. The other icons listed in the article look NOTHING alike. The samsung gallery icon uses a sunflower in the background but beyond that they are…

Not THAT different. They switched the background and foreground color, which is an obvious change for using the icon on an LCD screen rather than a plastic button. The fact is the phone icon has been a standard staple icon in cellphone graphics for FOREVER. Apple's icon isn't some fantastic new idea.
