Eh? That link was to the google play store. It's an Android app, and I use it myself on my Android. GP's kid had to get up to go to day care, he didn't get a vote, and would have had to get up regardless of the alarm clock his dad uses. W

I bet I can guess your age. I'd say you're about 19 or 20, maybe as old as 22. How did I do? That's the age I was when I felt as you do. Now, I realize that rituals are important and useful. I also realize that, any system that puts the

Wells Fargo probably doesn't actually own your current loan, but are being paid by Fannie Mae to service it. I know Bank of America unloaded my loan to Fannie Mae a week after they gave it to me. If that is true, their negative answer to y

I share your distaste for 802.11. DECT also is lower power, longer range and even offers audio if you want it. Bottom line, however, is that there is a huge installed base of 802.11. Every phone, home, and business already has it. You ei

Department of Homeland Security says that they're aware of the situation and are monitoring it closely. They urge caution and suggest that travel to that area should be avoided if possible, until the situation becomes more clear.

Really? It's so hard to learn to use a computer that we need kids to start using them, and playing video games, before 6? That point and click is a tough concept to grasp. They better start early. As you can tell, I couldn't disagree wit

Just discovered that google can convert long series of units. Say you wanted to do this, at the obvious risk of some undiscovered toxicity, and say you weigh 200lbs. At a cost of fullerene-c60 of $592 for 5 grams, at 1.7mg/kg, you're daily

It has never been anybody's view, to my knowledge, that cold fusion was a hoax. There is a prevalent view that the scientists were wrong, but I was not aware of anybody that seriously proposed that they deliberately tried to fool people.

I'm still trying to digest your argument, but my point was a simpler one. I am very interested in whether or not we can restore elasticity in tissue, such as the lens of your eye, the skin on your face, or the walls of your arteries. When a

Heart disease can be plaque, which, theoretically, might be removable with some diet change. It can also, however, be hardening of the arteries, which is a loss of elasticity of the artery walls. We don't know how to reverse tissue loss o

They appear to be talking revenue, not profit, so I'm confused. Trying to do the math... 750K x $60 = $45M, not $18M 750K x $45 = $33M, not $18M 750K x $5 = $3.7M, not $18M So, they're not using monthly income data and
