"Hmmm...I agree with everybody above that the computer mouse will be around for a long time to come on desktop computers.
I am wondering, though, if these guys were also thinking about the laptop market?"
"@axiomatic: of course, downloading HD movies can be a problem if your ISP has you capped at 40 GB/month.
Even if you assume that "just the movie" is around 15 GB for a good 1080p encode, you can't even download 3 a month...
This will be a problem at least until bandwidth caps are defeated, or an algorithm for compressing beyond H.264/MPEG-4 is available and everybody has the hardware to handle it."
"If you're complaining that the kindle is "ugly," please realize that fancier/sleeker designs cost more money, as the designers of fancy/sleek things charge more.
It is valid to complain about design flaws that inhibit functionality, but calling something "ugly" or "outdated looking" really just says that you want the object to be a status symbol."
"I just can't believe somebody is still trying to charge money for Tetris!
Holy cow, free versions of tetris are all over the place...and $10 is mighty steep for such a basic game, even if free options weren't ubiquitous."
"Can somebody explain to me what "mountain-, car-, and golf- GPS" is?
The common GPS systems are for use in the car...but what is added by "mountain GPS" -- something to guarantee better connection to the satellites in mountainous terrain?
And what is golf-GPS?"
"PS: regarding zero-g pregnancy:
I bet if a baby is gestated in 0-gravity, he'll be born with grayish skin, a big head, big eyes, and spindly limbs.
Those "aliens" people are always seeing aren't aliens at all...they're just humans from our technologically advanced, space-dwelling, time-traveling future."
"Just so we're clear: $95,500,000 to convert 6,000 parking spaces comes out to over $15,000 per converted parking space.
How complex can this system really be to justify such a huge price?"
"Better law option:
In any ad that lists the price of a good/service/whatever, the likely tax or other fees must be listed in an equally large font as the advertised price."
hey man, your radiohead argument is right on point. I think its the most intelligent and truthful comment I have heard so far. I thank you for putting that out there.
