    First thing that comes to mind when someone says gmail? 1. Robots reading my mail to show me ads. 2. Yet another webmail service.

    Bill Gates Wants to Reinvent the Toilet

    Don't forget that most sewage systems are designed for 'regular' flushing, meaning that if people flush too little, the sewers get flushed by the people in charge of it, reducing any water savings back to zero. To accommodate this the old sewer system also needs to get an overhaul.

    FINALLY: FIFA Considering 'Goal-line Technology'

    Bad calls are unfortunate, but also a part of football. Having a sensor that triggers when the ball fully crosses the goal line is not a bad idea, but that's where it should stop. Adding video reviews would make football a slow game with too many interruptions like handegg.

    Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg Hates His New iPhone

    Whats with all the "should have waited for the iPhone 4" comments? Just because it's v.4 makes it better and the "old" ones are suddenly crap? Sounds like too many people are gobbling up the Apple hype.

    The Internet is Running Out of Space

    Same thing Apple does with each generation of iSomething. They have the technology, but leaving stuff out on purpose so people buy the new version. Same thing will happen when IPv6 goes to the consumer market, all modems, routers, NICs, etc will carry the nice lable "IPv6 compliant".

    Also I'm fairly sure that being short-sighted, even if he actually is short sighted, had nothing to do with him taking pictures to see where he was in the darkness.
