Fake?
Anyone else think it's a fake? I don't see how the front facing camera could possibly follow his head _way_ off to the side the way it does... but I could be wrong (don't have an iPad2 to see how wide angle the lens is)
Not fake. This has been demonstrated on the Wii and the DS. Very simple to do actually.

I believe the iPods are devices used so heavily, plastic coating should never be used, instead use all metal enclosures (just like the minis).

I had my tounge done about six months ago, and it did not hurt near as much as I thought it was going to. It was more annoying than anything for a couple of weeks, and I couldnt talk at all for like three days. But after 2-3 weeks I didnt even notice it anymore. Like now, I forget that I have it all the time, then I catch myself in a mirror or a window and see it and it freaks me out. Kinda funny.

If the school confiscates your laptop, you go to the police and file charges. FOR WHAT, ENFORCING SCHOOL RULES?
And the school is in big trouble. Technically what they did was stealing. They have absolutely no right confiscating anything. THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CONFISCATE ON THEIR PREMISES IF THEY BELIVE ITS A RISK TO THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE.
What they can do is prevent your access to the building if your are carrying something which they deem "against the rules". But taking away a $1000+ notebook? That's a serious offense HARDLY
and I wouldn't let it go so easily. File a complain with the school administration, if they don't react, go to the police. I am serious. There are some things which you just can't let slide. THE POLICE WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE, FACT.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about do you...?

Not for sale
All companies are for sale. Its called a hostile takeover. Just offer a premium over their share price. But Netflix isnt worth 12 billion. They should have bought them a year and a half ago when it was worth 2.5 billion.

I fly from Denver to Dallas nearly every week and I have seen 1000s of iPads in the wild...it sounds like you hang out with some very clumsy people, maybe they are afraid to buy iPads.
I fly around Europe mostly and to North America maybe 12 times / year. iPad usage suffers from a clear European/North America divide. Most Europeans (Germans/Swedes) I know still haven't found a use for one.
Also, iPhone ownership is much lower over here because the cost/min is much higher. The last data I saw (ComputerBild.de) showed that Germans pay 0.11�/min for talk but only consume on average 20�/mo. Americans paid 0.03�/min and consume roughly 45�/mo on average.
The was for all phones combined, not just iPhones/smartphones.
Basically, the cost is still way too high per min over here to justify the cost.
The lack of iPad usage comes down to it being an extreme luxury item ... average full time "salary" in Germany is 45k� pre-tax and 25k� post-tax (2k�/month), so 25% of a months salary for a non-specific usage device that can't really be subsidized by the employer is a non-starter.

The smaller microbreweries are better than the big ones. I'll take Boulevard or Schlafly (or Spotted Cow when I can get my hands on it, which isn't often enough) over Budweiser or Coors any day, and I'd take toilet water over Natty Light.
I assume you are enjoying a New Glarus Spotted Cow while visiting Wisconsin. It is difficult to find outside their border because they don't distribute out of Wisconsin. I like Spotted Cow but New Glarus also offers some other quite tasty brews as well.
I had my first New Glarus brew when I started doing annual trisp to Road America to see the AMA Superbike races. However, I now live near the Sconi border and it's an easy trip to get it.
I always drink, what I consider good beer IMO, but when micro is not available and I have to drink a macro beer, I usually go for a Grain Belt Primo.

Australia has affordable quality healthcare. Well, probably like the British healthcare. Is that quality?
Whether or not the UK has quality healthcare is up for debate. But what it does have is low cost and access.
In my personal experience, and according to WHO rankings, France has the best healthcare in the world.
Japan is ranked #10 according to the world health organization.
The US is ranked #37 :eek: Most of that has to do with poor access. The wealthy get the best care, arguably in the world. Sucks for the bottom 95% though.

Is it as sporadic as it looks at 11am in my town? It does look like it could give details on any street, though. That would be better than the FM traffic or even the DOT/camera based traffic used for most things. Esp during road construction when side streets with no other data accumulation become thoroughfares for the summer.
Because it is crowd sourced, its information is only as good as the folks using the app. That is a huge downside, if you live in a rural area where not many people actually have smartphones (or in the case of Apple doing crowd sourced mapping an iPhone).

erg not really. you do only have 2 holes in your head as you say, but your hearing is more advanced than that. your brain always factors in all the other elements, like your head position, so your brain notices and calculates the volumes of incoming sounds, so you can distinguish where things are in relation to you. obviously, your brain can't do that with headphones.
No reproduction system is perfect in all environments. When your brain translates a sound, it positions it relative to your head-- a sound in front of you will sound like it's coming from the right if your head is turned left. This is why you tend to look at something before you can react to it. If you have more time to react, your brain will probably work it out correctly.
As you say, headphones alone can't track head movement so the environment will appear to rotate with your head. If you're trying to simulate a fixed environment, or coordinate with an immersive display, then you'll need to deal with this somehow. They have the advantage, however, of being able to collapse the combined impact of a sound field into two point sources directly at the sensors (your ear canals).
Headphones have the additional complication that we position sound vertically by the filter effect of the fleshy parts of our ears-- which are different for every individual. Most systems use a generalized filter to approximate an average ear, whatever that means.
Open air speakers are trying to reproduce a sound field from a small number of point sources and can only produce the desired effect on one location in space, and the listener has to remain there. They also suffer from channel cross talk and reflections from walls and objects in the reproduction sound space that aren't intended to be in the simulated sound space. The Dolby home theater type systems are essentially two dimensional in the plain of the ceiling and floor, which causes problems if you're trying to get 3D sound, or sound indicating the vertical alignment of a computer display.
For positioning screen effects, headphones will probably win since they don't have to compensate for the environment and the user is almost certainly looking at the display fixed in front of them. Since the simulation environment is essentially two dimensional (the display), you might also get away with fixed speakers positioned around the display and ignore the cross talk and reflections. In either case, you'd also have to assume a distance from the display to the user and assume the user is centered.
Nothing simple is going to work in all cases...

Racks of servers for Reprography?
That can be handled by a desktop/workstation for the computing end, while the real work is done by the printer technology used to generate the actual output (banners, blueprints, ...).
So the real work is not in the writing of a book, but in the printing?
You do seem to view the world from an interesting perspective. ;)
