The google maps navigation already does that, albeit only when you are closing in the target. But still very useful when looking for a restaurant or a company.

Most of the books are indeed infilmable, you stated the reason. That's way almost all the movies are _adaptations_ of the books. Mainly the screenwriter has the infamous job to take out the infilmable scenes and hopes that the director is t

QED. Take my advice (and prediction too): Energy backed currencies will be the future. Not now, but in 50-100 years. Gold ( used to back currencies now) is also popular, but it has also _some_ intrinsic value attached to it. But at some p

So my bitcoin-based new business will depend on a popularity contest?? I believe more in a energy-bound trading value for the future, much like the petro-dollar. Why not solar-coins, based on the value of solar energy ( GWh based ) traded o

But what I actually don't get it is: what is stopping me ( or anybody else ) to start creating similar, let me quote "experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world" ? Isn't a second, or thi

Actually Intel chips are since long RISC based, with a CISC translation layer. The real difference is in the more advanced pipeline, prediction and cache and and of course the 32 vs 64 bit + other architectural features. Hence the intel chi

Indeed, the start of extra-terrestrial mining ( the exploration part - no exploitation ATM ). Altough this is mining on a planet ( with gravity and atmosphere) , I am keen on asteroid mining, physics could be quite different there. Even th

I think the one who solves this problem ( at least for humanity ) would get a Nobel. After the humans will wander thru space ( at some time - very probable), there will no time reference, but only time intervals ( like, day on a spaceship h

Well, neither. Take a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_solids . I think they see the "vibration" as some sort of wave ( with the properties as such ) and process it similarly to light wave.

I am not sure why they call it Google effect, when it can be called generically "library" effect. It's the adaptation of our brain to store externally certain data, generally speaking. What it means: our brains should be used to process and

Actually, after reading more about the subject, it seems that Apoteker actually was fooled. The due diligence was done by KPMG ( and Deloitte ), both very big customers of Autonomy. Again, can't tell too much, but a lot of gratuities went b

[disclaimer: worked for Autonomy. This view represents my personal sole oppinion and not of the (former) employer] I can't tell too much, but everyone I knew was in shock when they announced the price (12$bn), this was, way, way over what I

This. To me this was a raising brow thing when I read the article. Either is this ingnorance of the current rules, or was a publicity stunt. I know the rules, I follow them, thus never had any issues in airports. But there is a golden rule:

I'll venture for an answer: none. The moment you decide to check for a pen, you sealed his fate ( ie. which rotation it has ) and also of the other pen. So to say, you collapsed his wave. Kind of a Schroedinger's cat experiment. The reason

Answer: inhomogeneous magnetic fields. See the Stern–Gerlach experiment. So basically your spaceship needs to have the core part in a spinning sphere generating such a magnetic field. Also not to forget the gravitational attraction which wo

Don't forget the actual Nokia N9, after which the Lumias were made. Same unibody, solid Linux/MeeGo experience. The amazing is that I can impress anyone with it, while an iPhone is such a common view that is becoming the next "xerox" or "v

Nokia has indeed the best _free_ navigation of all. I am keeping in my car an old E72 just for it, loaded with all the maps of EU. However, even if updates are quite often, sometimes the map is outdated. But anyhow, the navigation is only f
