Very interesting, and while I've noted before that europeans dont drink as much water at meals, I never linked it to digestion. Is there any science behind this belief, or is it more "cold water is bad for your organs" mythology? I use pepcid AC regularly (once every few weeks), but I can almost always correlate it to

This also helps explain why you rarely get ice in your drinks in Europe and warm beer is common.

This thing is only held on by the latch that holds the dinner tray in place?! Even without any weight hanging on them, these things are prone to drop the tray in my lap during the slightest turbulence. I can just see the plane hitting a bump and....whoops...baby's head has hit the ground.

Very cool animation, but what's with the band of cold water along the equator in the Pacific towards the end of the video?

I'm still amazed this happened at all...can you imagine one nation giving such a large monument as a gift today?

I, for one, welcome innovation from MSFT. Finally! Competition is good for the consumer!

LOL, the "Windows" button? You mean the "home" button? You even had to describe it when you could have just said home button and everyone would have understood. Should we also call it the Windows Power Button™?

FWIW, I laughed....

user interface is not marketing

Agreed. I ask this because of its impact on battery performance. When the iPad came out (hell even today) one of its biggest critizisms was its lack of flash. MSFT fanboys made it out that this was indispensible, and that the iPad was practically a brick without it. But Apple knew battery life is more important than a

I think you place too much emphasis on marketing as the cause for Apple's success. Yes, marketing is a big part of that success and Apple is unparalleled in the realm of marketing. But Apple holds one thing above all else, and this is something that Microsoft has yet to grasp; the user experience. This experience does

I think the most imporant question that everybody wants to know but no one is asking is...

I get what you're saying, and perhaps in a few years when larger SSDs are more affordable this approach will work for me. But as it is I have 100's of GBs of data stored on my PC (mostly music, videos, and photos). I may be atypical, but I like to have my entire music collection with me wherever I am (most

Unless I sign up for the new FIOS service, I can't imagine downloading my music and video on the fly every time I want to access it. Also, see my comment above about storing personal content in the cloud.

So all my music, video, photos, and documents will live on my tablet? My new 32 GB tablet? That won't even hold my music...

Any tablet needs a PC to sync with (at least today). I don't see this changing with the Surface.

Sorry, "clear" would be a number...not a vague description. My mortgage broker said my house would get a value "comparable to similarly spec’d homes" in my neighborhood. The appraiser had different ideas entirely.

Now playing

For those interested...here is video of Tank Man that provides more perspective (pardon the cheesy 80's soundtrack). You can see what he did and why the tanks didn't just go around him. It's commonly believed that he died that day, but you can clearly see people coming to his aid and pulling him away at the end. What

Of course your efforts are appreciated, but I think this is a better resolution:
