If we are talking about images moving, and images aren't made up of matter, just a concept we apply, the same task can be used on any concept. For example, in my fictional story, John traveled faster than light. That's it. I simply state it and it is true, within the parameters of my concept of John. The "dot" does…

Indeed, I can't believe the people on here taking this lightly. While I do not own one, I cannot imagine using any object so carelessly.

The Gates Foundation does give out many millions of dollars to a wide variety of causes, especially education...... good luck with yours. You never know.

So now you're trusting them to program it with absolute fairness and not increasing the house chances by even .01%, because that adds up for the house in any game. If I play a game with a dealer who just took out a fresh deck, I know the cards aren't being manipulated.

Highly annoying. like turning up the volume during a movie, you'd have to inturrupt everyone watching just to turn it from level 18 to 21.

So, Back to the Future 2 got it right..... I hope siri learns to distinguish between real voices and voices that are produced by speakers. That could be awkward....... television shows that control your television themselves.

Correct, Sam probably doesn't, and he says why. I'm not sure why you have a problem with formulating conclusions based on information. This is a blog after all. Giz writers give opinions on all other tech industries.

agreed, a true rich person would just have six or more identical cars and frequently change the plates on them all.

Also, I've never been stopped by TSA carrying on my electric razor, while I've seen others get their razors thrown away.

The problem is that I'm sure that half of the lawyers suing RIM are customers, and will stay that way because they paid their BES fee already.

Funny thing about the Louisiana Purchase. The French only sold it to us because of the war with England. Napoleon needed cash. We didn't have a ton of money, so we actually took out a loan from England to buy it. So, the English were financing us, we turned around and gave the money to the French to fight the English,…

I wouldn't give up my electric shaver for anything. I really don't care that it's not the closest shave in the world......... I can shave quickly and easily without a sink, without a mirror, and I don't have to worry about shaving gel/cream or little nicks. Even if I had a closer shave it would be gone in half a day…

I'm just glad MKE was represented positively. We do some things right beyond beer cheese bikes and music festivals.

Valid points all around, except IMHO from experience in an IT department servicing tens of thousands of clients the client desktop is going to go away as we know it, OS's, Apps, and settings will all be virtualized. While pushing Windows 8 on the consumer, MS has been pushing a huge number of virtualization…

But I bet it is too heavy for old people to point at young hooligans who are on their lawn.......... or swing at muggers on the street. Movies will have to find another old person shtick

Indeed, that is the point of a warrent. To minimize curruption. I am all for the authorities doing anything they can as long as it has gone through legal processes based on reasonable suspicion (needed for warrant) (probable cause is needed for arrest). My worry is if the government comes out and says that GPS…

Android does follow a very clear pattern, A, B, C. I know exactly which version is newer. I did however like your question about OS X. It's not like the cats got bigger, or smaller, or had any picture drawn on a map when you plotted their natural habitats. That would have been cool, a picture of an apple on the globe…

How does that saying go..... don't bite the hand that feeds.....

I agree and disagree at the same time. Yes, you don't want to go replacing your TV like you do your phone, however if you think about it, a nice TV is only about double what a nice smart phone is without a contract discount. The iPhone approach is new hardware every year or so, this might only need new hardware every…

I'm going with Evan Handler.... you know, that creepy guy from Californication.
