I would like to give a completely different reason why the Segway sucks. Great public transit blows it out of the water. Consider a trip to a city like Berlin and then travel from there to Munich, with lots of travel in the city. Renting a

Interesting thought experiment. I would be a general contractor and sub-contract the work I wasn't an expert at. I have a lot of experience doing repair work and would enjoy the varied tasks.

I wouldn't install an app to help you out. I wouldn't leave it running if you killed my processor. But you made it painless, so you get at least a few hours of runtime on me @ 1ms.

Not that it is important to this thread, but I had a few broken noses during my childhood. I used to be fairly angry. But there came a time in my life when I was about 16 where I was happy, and it didn't really matter. Let it go and live

I would call those basic rights. In some of the developed world you can receive food, clothing, housing and heat already. Unfortunately, due to illness, addictions and other problems the programs often have difficulty reaching the people i

That question is reasonably answered in many countries across the world. Usually it is defined as 'essential' and not optional services. Breast implants aren't covered, but breast cancer surgery is (potentially finishing with a breast impl

Tethering has very little to do with the platform, and much to do with the carrier. Carriers want to be able to charge for it regardless of which phone you own. As for the 'pretty icons'... Apple/RIM/Google are realizing that users are begi
