Thoroughly disgusting, but sooner or later someone would use this to blackmail and control another person. A terrorist might use it for their trade, but other criminals might use it to make you steal stuff they couldn't gain access to otherwise. Just imagine someone contacts you, speeds up the...

Alidan if you wake up the masses they will rage, riot, impose the worst possible solution and then go back to sleep for a long time. A person is smart, but people as a herd are stupid and panicky. You need people to wake up, learn enough logic to separate propaganda from fact and start fixing...

Well, she is 13. How deep do you expect her lyrics to be? :) The lyrics were so bad I found them funny. If all she has to do is show up and sing bad lyrics then there is nothing to be impressed with here (well she sings better than me, but then so did my cat when I accidentally stepped on...

I suppose it was either this or destroy the entire inventory of phones. If they get them moving they go from complete failure to minor failure/major embarrassment. If it works somebody at each company will get huge kudos when their review rolls around because they will make the failure far...

I am a little disappointed by the storage. I am looking for a device that can replace my cell phones from two countries, GPS and iPod. When I go away for a month 16GB of storage for all the music and maps (online maps are fine where you get a cell signal) isn't much. I was really hoping we...

Audioee there are several devices like the Kill-A-Watt (sorry that is the only one I know by name) that can monitor power for a single device or power bar. I have had one for years and spent a lot of time checking how much each device I own consumes. Over time I have moved most devices in my...

I have an iphone right now. I needed an ActiveSync device so I could connect with the Exchange server at work. I wanted a device that could replace my Garmin, ipod, foreign cell phone and US cell phone. The locked iphone failed on the foreign cell phone, but that was OK because the contract...

Is the catalyst consumed by the reaction? If it is then we need a lot of H2 from the reaction to make replacing the catalyst worthwhile. Producing the nickel for the catalyst should be considered in the equation for how environmentally friendly and carbon neutral this method of producing...

How many of the big games publishers/developers are publicly traded companies? Being publicly traded has a very strong tendency to encourage companies to have a myopic focus on the money that is flowing in/out this quarter. Investors might be the worst junkies of all in our world. Maybe in...

I was just trying to use my laptop outside. Couldn't see very much on the screen even with the brightness cranked and battery rapidly draining. The best cover I could find was sun-dappled shade under a tree. Since this needs to be in the sun and the laptop in heavy shade I can't see the...

Zoemayne, The electronics in CFLs and LED bulbs are the most vulnerable part and most likely to fail early. Power fluctuations and wiring issues can shorten their lives dramatically. I suppose that is actually an advantage of the older bulbs - if a power fluctuation doesn't shatter the...

Great - if only it would schedule someone to shovel the driveway in the winter so I don't have to get up early and take care of it...

.15 acres is about 607 square meters. I wonder how this thing copes with hills. If I come into some money it might be worth it not to have to haul my existing mower back and forth on the slope I have (it is less than the 35% the specs state it can handle).

What I am really looking for in this market is a replacement for my current binder, highlighter, and coloured tabs. I am on a business trip with a binder that contains about 7cm of paper (almost 3"), about 80 colour tabs and an unknown amount of text I have highlighted in different colours...

Actually where this will really screw people is in rural areas. Cities can be covered by cell phone towers, DSL and cable. However get a short distance from the city and you will often find there is no DSL, no cable and cell phone coverage gets spotty. My aunt lives on a farm in one of those...
