Personally I think we should just make lobbying a government job. Basically, create a government department that where you or your company can pay a fixed rate, have one lawyer assigned to you as your advocate in Congress for a set length of time. These lawyers are the only people (other than the residents in the…

I'm curious to know what copyrighted content was contained within that sentence.

And how do you suggest that "we" get that legislation to magically appear?

Yes the voter's should be the defining factor in politics, but then again every citizen of voting age should be required to vote, and healthcare should be more affordable, and police shouldn't give out tickets in order to keep their department funded, and teacher's should know better than to sleep with their children,…

You are aware that the ultrabooks all come with at least an i3 (not an atom like netbooks) CPU, and none of then come with Windows 7 Starter edition, right? Win7 starter is considered to be a terrible thing by everyone on both sides. Also, all these ultrabooks have at least a 13" screen because they are designed to be…

and C-3PO as well from the looks of it

I don't see this happening because most bands' labels would probably throw a hissy fit over the fact that the band directly owns the rights to these videos. Or this site will get slapped with some sort of copyright suit because they are trying to resell the performance with the permission of the band or some shit like…

Touche. And I can't believe I didn't think of the babelfish when I was writing my example. D'oh!

Now show us the utterly stupid interfaces for all the "smart" media abilities on those TVs. I still think that something like XBMC, or Plex would be a great media interface to put on all those TVs because it is already very mature, it has a large community, it's content can be fully customized by each company based on…

Like I always say, you are all products of my imagination!!!

But what if every intelligent alien race out there looks identical to us? That would be pretty hard to chalk up to simple coincidence if many thousands of independently evolved alien races happened to be humanoid in appearance and become the dominant intelligent race on their respective planets.

DAMN!! I love this idea, but I spend most of my time on campus, and the Kindle can't handle either the wpa2-enterprise student network, or the public network that requires a web page confirmation to join. So basically, my kindle is only useful if I already have the document loaded at home.

I really like the inclusion of the IR blaster. It never made sense to me that we have tablet form factor universal remotes, and regular tablets, but nobody decided to merge them and make the regular tablet capable of controlling any tv you are sitting in front of

I thinks its a tradeoff between resolution and battery life, and most of the teams working on these devices likely had the most trouble matching Intel's battery life requirements so the screen resolution got cut. And speaking from experience, I've been doing many hours of senior level engineering (mostly solidworks…

From some recent reading I have done (nothing I can specifically link to sorry) I was under the impression that most newer batteries don't physically let the battery charge above the 80%-90% unhealthy capacity, and most phones are designed with the expectation that they will be left plugged in over night so the smart…

Its self-censoring. Put them at full resolution and you can't tell that its porn.

I would hate to be the fridge engineer tasked with chilling all those beans without burning out the compressor.

Thanks for the response, and I misunderstood the part about the HD layout being primarily for galleries and videos. Also, I realize that a modular layout is not realistic for large scale use even though it would be awesome if you could. I do think that if the HD layout becomes used for most of the galleries and…

It looks to be a gaming tablet running windows 8, so you would just install the game like its a normal desktop or laptop (either through steam or a usb disc drive) and then play it. No need to buy new versions, or anything.

I think that the idea is great, but the layout needs a few changes. English is read from left to right, so the main text should be on the left of the image, and the current layout gives too much emphasis to the image (to the point where its hard to even notice the text. I think that the text and image should be equal…
