@pfc.joker: What on earth are you talking about? The iPhone is a technological device, not a revolutionary decree.

@zaghy2zy: The 1925 one was actually accurate to some degree. While most cities don't have many different layers or roads for certain kinds of traffic, many cities do in fact have large underground road networks just for pedestrians spread out under Downtown (underground cities).

@Gene: @Cheesus Crust: And they knew that Hydrogen was dangerous, but couldn't use helium because the Us wouldn't export it to them.

@b.picolo: Having Weekly garbage pickups involving dozens/hundreds of ships for a few years?

Uhhh... if you don't say specifically that you wan't the car to carry out your voice command, won't it obey 'commands' that come naturally in conversation with other passengers?

@Ccomfort: That's very, very, true. However, West of the Rockies, there's less of a sense of history because most of what the Amerindians left behind desintegrated within a few years or decades. But here, in the Eastern North American, things just accumilate, and accumilate, so we still have a ton of old buildings and…

@openfly: Ennh, you could say the same for any North American city or suburb. Weren't many major American cities like Seattle only settled in the 19th century?

@Ccomfort: Well, so do glasses. I don't about other people, but whenever I wear my glasses, I get disoriented because what I see and what I feel are not in synce, and I get poor depth perception. But I cope.

@desi214: No, transparent displays are practical...just not for keyboards and monitors. But for a cell, it would be useful. I imagine such a display would make Augmented Reality much more convincing, since the image onscreen would be perfectly synced with the world offscreen.

Would it be worth trying to preserve the ship? The pack-rat in me demands that a special enclosure now be built to protect it. But on the other hand, it seems to be disintegrating and was probably fairly unimportant in it's day, so once measurements, samples, and photos have been taken, it has little further value. We…

@Shaun Eames: Well, MY windows ME lasted 6 years... Of course, for the last 3 years it was super-unstable and we had to reinstall the OS every few months... But at the time we just assumed that was a normal computer problem.

@phatnacky: But people haven't been brainwashed into believing that Apple is the best thing since sliced bread! They've convinced themselves, through their past experiences with Apple products.

@getz76: People are interested in high tech devices and Apple is usually very good at making high tech devices. Aren't they allowed to be happy without being called sheep?

Great! Now, we'll just need a practical colou display, super cheap prices, and we'll be ready for e-wallpaper.

That calculator looks huge.

I don't like the way that bot is frowning at me.

@corsair130: But what on earth is in there? Hundreds of backup shadow copies?

So... How much data is 3tb? If you were to fill 3tb to capacity with a single type of file, you'd get ~3,000 full length standard quality films (1gb/file), 1,500,000 photos (2mb/file), ~750,000 audio files (4mb/file). How many people actually deal with those kind of numbers for their personal collections?

hmmm, my university's address is mcgill.ca. Does that count as a .edu?
