More speculation... but if a comet exploded in the upper atmosphere these microparticles could have been trapped up there for while. Still would expect winds and such to spread them around...

Since you've read both books would you mind just summing up the jist of it.

After reading the article... in a scenario where subjects have a single task (push a button) and no time limit, then unconscious trumps conscious thought. I don't see how the unconscious could have much affect over rapid-fire decisions invo

Makes sense ;) Was there any reason why you went with Cappuccino instead of, say, SproutCore or Coherence or Dashcode? Or even GWT? Have you looked at Apple's PastryKit/iAD? It's _very_ similar to Cocoa development, just without the ObjC no

Thanks. That's awesome - gomockingbird.com is a great site, and if you did that in a week that's a compelling case for Cappuccino, although... I find it surprising you studied CS at Harvard and worked as a Software Development Intern at App

Funny you should ask that because the internet is just now taking a big lurch forward with Canvas and everything in HTML5. Would Objective-J quickly adopt new features in Javascript or stay closer to developments in Objective-C? Since every

"Developers we’ve spoken with have praised the framework, calling it one of the best ways to make applications with little programming knowledge." Surely they mean "little web programming knowledge" and a lot of Objective-C knowledge. I don

In my experience that is not the case. Specifically because jams are waves not just slow moving traffic. A gap will open up and quickly I can be in the 3rd gear to catch up. Of course as soon as I do the flow stops again. I could just creep

That's actually one of the solutions suggested by the author. A rolling blockcade of police cars in each lane to regulate the flow.

Green waves are a pet peeve of mine. They've tried to implement these where I lieve... a spectacular failure. Green waves only work when there is NO traffic. Speed is regulated and the flow moves fine. During rush hour they are a disaster.

Absolutely! I've thought about this so many times... what is 5 seconds for you (allowing someone to merge in front of you) would translate to much much faster commute to _everyone_ else. It is all about the balance between my personal greed

I think they were little too focused on the US market. Here (in Costa Rica) almost everyone I know with a smartphone has a N1. There is a monopoly carrier here and no phone+service package, so N1 makes perfect sense - just plug the chip in

A funny comment from the writeup on that 8125: "the display automatically switches to landscape orientation (it takes about 2 seconds to do so)" In many cases Apple isn't about innovation so much as doing things well. Reminds me of this vid

I think I saw or read about this too. I remember they did the same experiment with foxes.... and rats. Imagine walking into a room full of hundreds of rats bred for generations to be as vicious as possible.
