Kurzweil actually made this claim quite a while ago, which is (sort of) indicated in the article when he says he has "made the case" for this being true.

You all DO REALIZE that the Wired posting AND the Popular Mechanics posting are all based on the same NYT article, right? That's what engadget should have linked in the first place as that's where this "$19.99" is coming from.
Sigh.... You must mean "elegance", not "eloquence". Phones are not orators.
Um, it was discussed before that the OS is *not* 700 MB but rather ~300MB (or thereabouts). Recall that the formatted capacity of a storage medium is less than the labeled capacity; it's the question of the definition of a GB: is it 1024MB or 1000MB? For the 8GB iPhone, you subtract this difference and the space required by the file system and *then* the OS, leaving you still with 7.24GB usable space.
Without knowing the specifics of the processor designs, clock speed comparisons are meaningless. Than be high frequency-clocked "slow" processors and vice versa.
This sounds incredibly dangerous, assuming this thing's effects are nontrivial. It banks heavily on the infallibility of the software: what happens if the system decides (erroneously) that something is wrong while you're barreling down the freeway and attempts to wrest control of the vehicle from you? A disaster, that's what.

Hopefully you can just turn it off.
This is apparently coming out next month according to TFA.

Jobs said "next Spring" at WWDC. Nothing to go on besides that.
Those negative margins are for the manufacturers (i.e. Sony and Microsoft), not the retailers; Best Buy/Circuit City/CompUSA don't sell anything for less than the price for which they purchased it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
