@timgray: Hell if you just go through city records you can find the plans for every residence and public building ever constructed (unless its certain critical infrastructure buildings)

This is why my computer (torn apart desktop) goes in my carry-on and never leaves my sight. The only thing I'll risk putting my checked baggage is the PSU

@techguy78: I just looked in my fluid mechanics book and realized that I was thinking of the wrong thing. my bad

@techguy78: you didn't actually mention the density of Helium gas which you need to calculate the buoyant force. You have to calculate the max force that can be applied by gaseous Helium in the volume of the balloon and compare it to the downward force exerted by the MacBook Air.

@Philip.J.Fry: Its not like it takes more than a few seconds to calculate the volume of He required to lift a known mass, especially with the Internet for reference.

@antonid: The MacBook Air broke because of a 5 ft vertical fall??? I find that disturbing if true. Most computers and gadgets should be able to handle a 5 ft drop especially if they are turned off. Also, I would've expected that they would just use an empty display shell rather than a full working model

In all honesty, the first time I held a MacBook Air I was surprised at how heavy it felt compared to what I was expecting. The same is true about my experience with the iPad, its feels far heavier than I expect for a gadget that size.

@Adam Coleman: Touche!

I don't normally say this about Apple products, but that is actually REALLY cool. At first I though is was a decal, but seeing that it is really actually clear, I am for the first time in my life jealous of an iphone

But services that censor dicks will also censor boobs :(

I really hope parts of it are open to the public because that is fairly close to my house and I would love to take a tour of such a cool looking building

Damn this could interfere with my plans to over throw the US government in the near future in order to instate a Confucionist government. Guess I'll have to start laying my own fiber and setting up my own cell networks, shouldn't take to long. Might add 10 years to my initial plan :P

@KamWrex: yes, but you are not the target market for the Volt. They are going after people who just want to go to work without paying out their ass for gas, not speed freaks who just want "MOAR POWAH"

@virtualvine1: Eventually all cars will look like a half teardrop, with the pointed end facing forward. I am not looking forward to that day

I read that the engine is under one liter. 2 liters should produce more than 47hp esp for turbodiesel

This was 5 years before I was born, but just reading this article sent chills down my spine. God rest the whole crew, and may we reach ever further in their honor.

@Coreyja: Very last line in the video clip is "Honestly I think its because of the fact of how potent this laser is...not necessarily because of the Super Bowl coming up."

What does the Super Bowl have to do with this? WTF?!?

Id like to see a Lego machine solve this!

But can they still talk on the phone, cell phone or text?
