very true.

Quoted: It's no surprise that Detroit is struggling to retain market share, but its key challenge is luring younger buyers.

Doesn't Apple have a lawful monopoly? I mean, realistically, technically, and economically, who is its competitor? I don't think the lawsuit is going to hold up in court...the evidence isn't compelling, and the argument is BS (in my opinion).

Quoted: Complaints over Apple Inc.’s use restrictions and recent software update for the iPhone have erupted in two lawsuits alleging Apple and its carrier partner, AT&T Inc., engaged in illegal monopolistic behavior.

okay, this has to be one of the COOLEST biomedical/biotechnological advancements in recent history. It reminds me again of that conversation we had on the drive up from white water rafting, about some Japanese businessman improving on the little details. Who knew that by improving existing WiFi technology, by using better antennas and fixed point-to-point system, you could help the visions of millions of people! Incredible...a must read.

Quoted: Thousands of residents of remote villages now have easy access to eye care thanks to a specially designed, wi-fi network.

Quoted: They're already predicting, mathematically, what you'll want to watch, what you'll want to wear, and who you'll want to vote for. Obviously, the next step is for computers to read your mind — and that's just what they're working toward at Tufts University in Boston.

wow, that's just badass! it'd be so fun to ride one of these.

Quoted: "Proteus will be able to launch and recover automatic vehicles, do remote vehicle operations, it will be tested for standard dive support operations, putting instruments on the bottom, collecting data — all the things that we currently do in one form or another, but most likely more cheaply, effectively and probably better," Basta said.

Quoted: Foster + Partners is designing the world’s first zero-carbon, zero-waste city in Abu Dhabi. Named Masdar City, which means “the source,” the 1,483-acre project will include commercial and manufacturing space dedicated to developing ecofriendly products, housing, a university, and the headquarters for Future Energy Company, which is spearheading the initiative.

wow, that's amazing! if this actually works, i wonder what other countries would start building cities like this?

Quoted: A pioneering surgery gave Tyler Schilling a new prosthetic arm with a computer-controlled mechanical hand he can work using only his mind.

wow, i didn't know doctors could do this! i saw a leg amputation in 2001 in the OR at KU Med (while interning with an orthopedic surgeon), but I don't think they used this technology back then.

Quoted: The study, being released today by I.B.M. and the Transportation Research Institute of the University of Michigan, notes that Indian automakers are plagued by a shortage of skilled workers, inferior product quality and deficient highway infrastructure, among other challenges.

Its authors, who interviewed 30 high-level executives and automotive experts in India, are confident that the industry will surmount the impediments to make India one of the world’s top 10 vehicle-producing countries by 2015. But they suggest that the Indian car market remains in a fairly primitive stage of development.

“Roads are the big problem,” said Allan Henderson, senior manufacturing consultant at I.B.M.’s Institute for Business Value. “The infrastructure needs to be improved more than you might think. There’s a number of problems, but they’re aware of them and they know what it takes to overcome them.”
