Didn't Giz report on a project in (Denver?) where they did a composite from thousands pictures of random people off the streets and generated a composition portrait of "demographic medium" of the populace of the region. I'd call that a "fake face" and a bit "unsettling", because all the faces start to look the same…

Dude, I don't know about you, but GPS is often turned off on my juice sucking smart phone until I need it. And the last thing I want is to have my "tab" ready before I even enter the store.

Don't know what you're talking about, loves it when the cop is driving right behind me.

I don't know, I think mosquito would be pretty dangerous if they were the size of a dog.

Good point, but the original study wasn't clear about that claim either.

The first product from MS I am actually excited about, and this happens. A clear indication why Apple is a superior company than MS these days, and I have been a huge hold out against anything Apple based on the principal of fair use by the end user. But I am sure Apple would jump all over an idea like this and push…

So he's saying no one is reading the biography, here I thought Diaz is a big Apple Fanboy.

Help me with the math here too, Giz.

I sense a logic fallacy of "ignoring an external factor" involved here. Imagine if scientist don't understand secondhand smoking, and put a bunch of babies next to a room full of chain smokers and conclude that watching smoker could lead to increased risk to lung cancer, this sound like that to me.

I guess the more relevant advice to prevent "back-strain" would be to keep your kindle polished to a spit shine condition, as any small particle of dust will out weigh the effect of quantum level particle variation due to battery charging or storing data!

It's a double edged sword, not being able to make profit would also discourage further research in areas of gene makeup and therapy, a conundrum indeed. Is it better to make available technology/knowledge more affordable/accessible or take away the financial incentive to obtain the knowledge in the first place.

Of course these are the same things, because women can still have children without their uterus, oh, wait...

I wonder how long it will take for some one to seriously deck one of those "ninja"s in the face and ruin the whole thing, I know I would if push comes to shove!!

Dude, cost has nothing to do with it! Ever bought any OEM auto parts, I'd call that a real screw!!

I thought you could use regular flash drive on the X360, I have a 360 with a 60GB drive, never had any problem with running out of storage space, but then I don't have any music, only a few freeby demo videos and mostly game saves on there . I really don't see my self running out, still have something like 40 GB free…

Moved to the North East (NY) from the South West (So Cal, AZ), so I know what you mean!

Neither, both, take it anyway you want...

Battery saving is smoke in the mirror, cost saving and simplified design is the true intent, that and it makes no sense for an embedded device such as a mobile phone to have RAM chip just lying around for the ego of its owners. The reason Apple doesn't publicize hardware spec like RAM size is exact because it gives…

BS, user perceived speed is based more on how the software is optimize to respond to human input than the actual speed of the CPU, this is especially true on a mobile device.

Apple chose to use the 512MB RAM module because it saves them cost and the users don't know any better or should care. Apple has complete control over how the HW and the SW is built (which is why I stay the heck away from its walled garden approach to everything, but that's just me), so it knows how large the RAM is…
