This will drag through the courts and Google will simply code around the issue. I suspect Oracle is fighting for the IP and patent rights it has just acquired, as it has to. Google must have seen the writing on the wall and no doubt has another Android version waiting for just such a contingency.

Not cool. Mine is:

So she said yes? She did right? This isn't going all film noir with miming clowns on us I hope. Damn you photobooths and your half truths!

@DangerousLiberal: Jobs is a good enough role model, I just hope nobody kicks the kid out of his own company! Unless it ends just as well of course.

@FreneticZen: Ever since GMT became UTC, I don't know.

The old good cop - bad cop routine for the benefit of the crowd?

That map is the coolest thing I've seen this month. It appears that Yahoo's GeoCities island has sunk so far beneath the waves that it is no longer part of living memory, like Atlantis!

I liked Hawking on black holes. Everything else is just doom and gloom with this guy. Biology is 100% fatal and humans were engineered by Nature to be Earthlings, so deal with it Hawk Man! To live somewhere else will require invention of a new species and it only recreates the challenges we face here somewhere else.…

This won't violate Uncertainty because the measurement is being done on an entangled pair. The uncertainty will still exist in the units of the pair. In other words, position measured in one unit, velocity in the other, so uncertainty is preserved. The positions of the units are different anyway.

Show me one that spontaneously appears and hovers above the bed on random nights, booming passages from Revelations, in James Earl Jones' voice. I have several targets in mind.

This kind of makes a case for the whole Gray Alien phenomenon. Interaction through 3 dimensional telepresence. Creepy for sure but this robot www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P-Jl6Hb5Vw made the designer's daughter, model for the robot, cry in fear!

If you look carefully at the exhaust nozzles in the still photo, you will notice that the left exhaust is dilated while the right is constricted. This suggests an engine failure, either through bird ingestion or something internal. Witnesses heard 3 popping sounds prior to the crash.
