Why do we assume it's the fire truck that made the little old lady fall over? An equally plausible explanation is that Google's face-blurring technology temporarily disoriented her, causing her to lose control of her bike. #googlestreetview
The new Genius Bar system allows you to make reservations further in advance than the old one, which was limited to just a few days. #gizmodoremainders
@yule-and-bellow: No - I mean if something initially costs $100 and someone says prices are cut by 50%, this means that the new price is $50. If they say prices are cut by 100%, this means the new price is zero. If you say the price is cut by 800%, this means the new price is -$700. #gizmodoremainders
I think thats right, you can tell me if I am or not because you're first comment flew right over my head, proving you have the superior mind of us two...or google is paying people massive amounts of money to have all the data in the world put in their cloud...further inching them closer to world domination
What's more important, one old lady on a bike, or potentially your computer (and the implied collection of porn and torrented movies therein) that's currently at risk in a serious structure fire?
@Arnold Qin: Exactly! It was a trick question. She has all of your HDDs in the saddlebags of her bicycle. So, there goes all your porn. Thanks a lot, fire department, you ruined that woman's life, and my weekend! Nice job. #googlestreetview
@Gundem: You liberals always find out a way to cheap shot Fox News don't you? Shouldn't you be in Greenland with Al Gore to see all the Ice caps "melting"?
@Gundem: Yea that person hasn't even entered the intersection yet and are at the same spot they were in the previous screen. It's like they just tipped over like one of those goats that freeze up when they're scared.
I don't see any evidence that would indicate that any person on truck contact took place. #googlestreetview
@Gundem: Agreed. As someone who drives a fire truck, I can tell you that bike was not hit by one. Even a glancing tap with the front bumper would have bent the front wheel pretty much in half. Anything more serious and she'd be a grease spot. #googlestreetview
If it's as good in OS X as it is in Windows, I'd download it posthaste. I've all but stopped using Firefox since I downloaded Chrome. Much much faster, smaller memory footprint, and much more stable. Though I do miss AdBlockPlus, XMarks, citation resource plug-ins and small things like that. Overall, Chrome handles things better than FF.
When I get my hackintosh up and running, you can bet I'll be installing this. #google
When/if this becomes standard practice, I imagine that the practice of torrenting cloud-stored files will co-opt the term "Cloud Seeding." A torrential downpour, indeed. #cloud
Know what I want from Microsoft? An original idea. It seems like the more time goes on, the more companies like Apple and Google come out with neat products like iPods and Microsoft just kinda says
"Wow, that's neat. Let's steal the idea, we'll call it zune".
"Google's making money? Hey we should start a search engine"
"OS 2, huh? Looks neat, we'll call it Windows" #wolframalphabing
The first MP3 player was made by Eiger Labs and was called the MPMan (source: [reviews.cnet.com][en.wikipedia.org][boingboing.net] ). In fact, the market had several different MP3 players before iPod came along. Apple rarely innovates technology, they tend to wait and synthesize the best facets of different products together into one user friendly and attractive device and it is something they do very well.
OS2 was co-developed by Microsoft and IBM ([en.wikipedia.org] ) and was built around MS-DOS, the DOS ( [en.wikipedia.org] ) system created by Gates and Microsoft. Granted, MS-DOS is preceded by Apple DOS by a year ( [en.wikipedia.org] ). The independent Windows OS was antecedent to Apple's OS, but the IBM/MS one preceded it.
I could go on and on, but don't feel like it. The thing is, tech companies constantly "steal" from one another because they see what customers like or what are good ideas and attempt to utilize them. Call it stealing or failure to innovate if you want, but you'd be flat out wrong. Go troll somewhere else about MS. Do a little research before opening your mouth about something that you don't know about. #wolframalphabing
Personally, I think Wolfram Alpha is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Perhaps even greater.
The ability to quickly whip up a query to answer some bizarre random question gives me a feeling of Godlike omniscience. It's almost like something out of Star Trek, where the computer was always solving complex problems for the crew and then I'd be watching this on TV wondering why they bothered with the useless meatbags at all, when the computer was obviously the smartest one there.
But still, I have to wonder... does anybody other than me really use it? #wolframalphabing
@jepzilla: I use wolfram alpha a lot! I'm an engineering student, so I am commonly doing my hw in front of wolfram alpha.
And I love having it come up with quick answers to other things. And it's a great tool to look at stocks and economic trends.
It is honestly one of the greatest things on the internet and I think more people use it than you are aware - I am constantly catching classmates on it. #wolframalphabing
@PregoNation: More like, "yo dawg I heard you like search engines, so we put a search engine in your search engine so you could Bing while you Google" #wolframalphabing

She simply panicked as she saw the big truck, couldn't control herself and ended up on the ground.
