Indeed. Many high-end Android phones have HDMI too, but the interface is not replicated on big screen AFAIK.

Well, that still doesn't explain why pilot's union doesn't take 95% of their profit, does it?

Landing is almost never done by autopilot. Approach is. When the runway is in sight Pilot Flying has to take over from the autopilot, and gently put the wheels on the ground. Computers are still not very good at it, especially not when ther

What corporate culture? All I know is that Southwest has pilot union, they get competitive salary and they love their airline. How come SW (or JBLU) don't have same issues as legacy carriers?

There still isn't 100% GSM coverage in Asia - the most densely populated continent, let alone Africa and S. America. There are many many places that will never see GSM coverage. So I wouldn't write satellite communications off just yet. Cou

I love it how you're being downvoted (your excellent comment pointing out the flaw in this study was at the top initially) without a single refutation! Speaks a lot about the values of this community and the karma system!

wow! you must really be on heroin! not even this study is arguing that heroin should be legalized, yet you do (and with a nonsensical argument like "it's my business") it's quite safe to say that you can grow, produce and consume heroin for

The problem here is that Amazon/Rackspace/other VM infrastructure providers actually do market them as application platforms, not platforms to run VMs. Nobody really cares that you have OS underneath all this, all people want to do is run s

Amazingly Linux and other Unixes (yeah, OSX too) "get" time quite well. Maybe Apple over-optimized iOS?

Yes. I think nobody here argues that heroin should be legalized. But for lighter drugs legalization should clearly include ban on their advertisement (or, in fact, provision that tax revenue from their sale be spent on anti-advertisement)

I've heard report that attack was actually revealed by whistleblower from Saudi Arabia. Good job unknown US and UK secret agencies for taking credit for saving the World, again!

Pot was almost legal in Netherlands since 70s, yet very few countries followed suit. What makes California so special that it will make the end of cannabis prohibition viral? I'm highly skeptical.

Very much relevant. That ruling meant among other things that political spending amounts cannot be limited.

I would be very surprised if people 200, 150, 100, 50 years ago didn't think that things are getting worse and worse with government spending. And yet somehow America grew to become the World Power, long-lasting businesses were created, gov

he didn't talk only about taxes HE paid. There were 10+ generations that paid taxes to the United States of America for the last 200+ years to become what it is now. even if I agreed with your assumption (which I don't), I would certainly n

I'm pretty sure even the first prototype had much deeper psychological meaning than what's being presented. Heck, I was in a college at the time too and I think I know fairly well why so many guys tried to do their versions of "face book".

I guess you're an iOS user. Froyo has an excellent browser. Experience is very much like with any desktop one. It has windows instead of tabs. I don't think it will support HTML5 video, but it has Flash which works flawlessly (and no unreas

and because ITA itself is not important for them. Losing control of the information that goes from ITA to consumers is why they make a fuss out of this.

Same as with many mainstream manufacturers' (Sony, Samsung, Acer) older and even not so old Android phones. But that doesn't mean anything. Community should be fully able to maintain Android updates if manufacturer doesn't will (and haven't

Heck, working in monitoring I know that there are jobs where punctuality is very important. Although I don't usually do shifts myself I've done few when there's noone else available, and it was very embarrasing when I forgot and showed up l

Daily Show has been getting more serious lately. Colbert Report seems to have taken over the funny side. But both are very very relevant still. Another great political production is Chaser's in Australia. Absolutely love these guys. I hope

wow, great comparison! So essentially earnings yield is E/P, the inverse (reciprocal) of P/E. Never heard such term before, but the concept looks so easy in comparison to P/E numbers. Treasuries price moves inversely to the yield, so that s
