@MrCheatachu: iBalls: potential for iAds or, well, another market.

@moonshadowkati: Sorry no, ping will forever be sonar, as in: Re-verify our range to target... one ping only.

@Clstirens: Yes, our anti-matter goatee-wearing evil selves.

@ThePr1nce: Fair enough, maybe comprehension was the wrong word.

@ThePr1nce: Why does the fact that it's beyond your comprehension merit the existence of a god?

One thing I think is amazing is Hawking's book will basically be siding with the multiverse theory. It's one thing to hear some random physicist explaining it, quite another to have Hawking saying it's the only viable unifying theory.

@Kwinten: Never said he's not a genius. But look at the results: nearly 500 comments already?

@czaravm: Same here. I clicked on the Facebook button, it gave me the standard Allow Access dialog and I clicked allow. Then it told me I had no friends who used Ping.

Stephen Hawking is a genius...marketer!

@hostile-17: I get what you're saying, except birds' (or any other species) knowledge of the world doesn't grow with successive generations. Our knowledge grows with each successive person who studies it. Hawking couldn't theorize what he's theorizing without Einstein before him all the way back to Ptolemy and…

This is a pretty cool site. Wish it was around when I was learning.

Oh yeah, that pesky no Divx support. And Netflix support is cool but also pretty much ubiquitous at this point. Hulu support would've been more of a coup.

Guess I can't get rid of cable yet.

They sure do. Wifi is generic and truly works globally. Even GSM has limitations depending on your carrier and which frequencies it supports.

@Odin: So I've been seriously thinking about getting an Android phone but I was curious about the media deal. What options are available to purchase and download music right on the phone? IE, what's Android's equivalent to the iTunes Music Store?

Does Just Type sound like Quicksilver to anyone? That could be pretty cool!

Yes please to that Eames Lounger in white.

I'd get rid of cable if Hulu Plus supported more than just the major networks like FX and AMC.

@Shaun McAlister: Same here! Whether that's a 5D2 or 3 though depends on whether Canon upgrades the 5D2 AF.

@ddmeightball: The biggest problem is a simple name change. The XXD series cameras (10D-50D) used to be Canon's semi-pro/enthusiast line. They came with some of the features from their pro line like a magnesium body, better controls, better AF, higher FPS, etc.
