I know that its really Lionhead Studios who may have been the geniuses behind the project, but I must say that Microsofts Fable:The Lost Chapters is the perennial longing i have to return to windows from linux, or partition. i guess it was their own fault, since i needed to reinstall XP had no disks so went i with free.
actually, theres a targeted "brain pace maker" for epilepsy called a 'vagus nerve stimulator' or VNS implant. theres also surgical procedures. this implant seems more akin to EST (and yes there are still major proponents for electroshock) than VNS. VNS and surgery are more about regulating the conduits in the brain; like putting in a traffic cop.
the lack of deets in this clip, coupled with my lack of interest to pursue, leads me to the assumption above; ie, electroshock cures depression, so do lobotomies.
@ "As far as I'm aware the iPhone handles Quicktime fine but these components of which you speak are not imperative to running a full version of the internet." -RK // actually, the lack of support for those features was a big concern of mine agaainst the apple wifi portables (vs. Archos).
BUT, what im wondering is regarding the '200 patent filings' note, how many were approved? how many were turned down as derivative? ultimately, how many were used under license from other companies?
i ask because it goes a long way to the 'innovativeness' of apple, as well as the flashback to jobs keynote truncation where his slide says there are "200+ patents for new innovations in iPhone"
the idea of biometric most anything always bears the burden of protecting the identification info. aside from privacy concerns, i worry when the state talks about biometric id cards because i am concerned that theyll leave the data vulnerable to attack, obviously. in my state of ohio, over 1 million state empoloyess had their personal data 'lost,' a backup tape was heisted from some interns car.
although i would trust private companies to operate more efficiently, i dont think i can trust them to de-spookify the spectre of having all that data.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
