I waited all night in line to buy an iPhone 4S. Then I walked out of the Apple Store and dropped it on the sidewalk in front of the store. The display, at least, was totally shattered.

Physicists say that if gravity flowed at the speed of light (8 minutes) then the Earth's orbit would double every 1800 years. This doesn't happen. The conclusion is that if this gravity wave concept has validity, it travels at 20 billion times the speed of light. That being the case, were the sun to suddenly…

Don't show this to Richard Gere.

I have read in physics forums that if gravity waves flowed at the speed of light, Earth's orbit would double every 1800 years. Conclusion based on math and physics and even experimentation leads to a conclusion that gravity waves flow at around 20 billion times the speed of light.

I once passed 4 powerful laser pointers through an airport security checkpoint in a tray with no problem. My friend had another which was confiscated. The inspector on that line said that the pointer could be used to club someone.

Where is the one with my flash key?

Sometimes Apple gets innovation recognition, sometimes Google does, etc. It's nice to share the best innovative features with all phones. Google might do this. I wish Apple did it more. We really can all get along and have more.

Siri is built-in but it has been my most important app since back when it was not built in, nor owned by Apple. I always have trouble with this question since each of my apps is the most important one when I need it. I'll look at 20 apps I used in the last few hours and each one was nearly critical when I used it.

Ralph is totally deserving of high regard. He did his early TV game work when it was virtually impossible to imagine how to do it affordably. He was a master at finding ways to do it with very few parts in amazing ways. He was well ahead of when digital video games would arrive for consumers and was ahead of Atari…

When in a Hilton once in Las Vegas, with ethernet not working, I used an old analog cell phone to create a network named "Hilton network"...the others in my company couldn't figure out why it was so slow. Now I use any FBI type name but use unicode characters to make the name upside down. This works on all Apple…

The chosen scale is misleading, but not the math. What is more meaningful is what percentage I have of dying from each of these things. For example, it's hard to see that your chance of dying from storms is about .02% that of heart disease. It would be nice to break it down further to show that concerns about living…

This could also be a tendon problem...been there...it was my wedding ring finger and cost me the ability to wear the ring for quite some time! On Dancing With The Stars, Karina had moved her engagement ring (to Maks of the same show) to her middle finger and I asked her why. Her response was to hold it up flipping the…

A friend had a company that offered ZRTP (single session, on-the-fly keys not used again) encryption for drone video. The minor drone builder at the time (Lockheed?) only bought 2 of the systems. The major drone contractor (Boing?) turned it down. There were article around at the time that the U.S. didn't care that…

Put it on an iPad for an Alzheimer's patient. They will enjoy it forever.

With a window seat you can rest your head on the window to catch some zzz's.

Not close...we never had such interaction and roles...I'm not even sure what it's getting at...personalities are very wrong although mine is closer...don't forget that my purpose was inspired by the values of the Homebrew Computer Club along with ideas of the value of such machines and Steve J. wasn't around and…

I went shopping for an iPhone and wound up buying a Galaxy S III. It can actually happen.

We'd be further along if we admitted our base 10 mistake and chose a base of counting and measurements based on a binary base. At one point in time, half the computing power of the world was used to convert between base 2 and base 10. Oops, that's like thinking different, like putting computer engineers above…

I wish I could create settings for my photos to look this good. I luck out sometimes but on the average my photos are just photos and not 'art'. The 'art' of photography is not in things like resolution. Check out Jack White's approach to creative development in the movie "It Might Get Loud."

My loving wife agreed to a Tesla S. The last 2 rounds she got me a Leica camera and a Gibson J-200 guitar.
