  It's Star Trek coming true!! What with the new multi-touch (i.e. LCARS :) computer interfaces, and the host of other Trek techs that are coming into being, I almost wouldn't be surprised if Zephram Cochrane really does make a warp flight that attracts the Vulcan survey ship in 2063!! 'Course this comment only will make sense to Trekkies :) Now if only they can start working on synthesizing those phaser crystals... Oh holy cow, just remembered we'd have to go through WWIII first!!! Build nuclear radiation-shielded bunkers deep underground, people, it's your only chance of survival!! JK, long live Trek :D Live long and prosper folks!

• yes, agreed...
  ...so just as we learn to build our own radio equipment and computers, write our own software and fix our own houses, cars and such, we need to start caring about our own security and freedom and if they won't let us buy these things, or if they sell us dumbed-down versions or versions that can be disabled by the powers-that-be (as appears to be the case with Microsoft's latest operating system, yikes!), we need to take charge of our lives and our freedom, and strive to be as independent as possible of our government and our corporations. This country is by and large full of people who unfortunately do not care about, much less care TO defend the freedom they enjoy. When (not if) our government eventually takes liberties it is not entitled to (as it has to a great degree already), it is the right and duty of the good citizens of this country to ensure the government is not allowed to continue unchecked and take more and more power until we come to enjoy exactly what we fled as a fledgling nation and what we continue to war against to this day (the abuse of governmental authority). Make no mistake, power corrupts. This news unsettles me, because I see it is going to be yet another of the resources/weapons the government has that the private citizens have nothing to match, and sadly in great majority do not care about. Those who truly care to defend their freedom from ANYONE AND EVERYONE (even our own governing representatives) who would take it from them will be exposed in the inevitable day, and may become the last recourse the masses have against the eventual tyranny of our leader(s), who gain more power continually. I do not at all believe that many, if any, of our current leaders (except perhaps a certain female Clinton and a few others) even have dreams of revolutionizing our government, but the stage is set for a change, and not one for the better. I would call on all citizens who value their God-given liberty to make ready and stay ready to defend themselves, their families, their friends and neighbors, and the ideals of this great nation when the need arises, but alas I am only a disenfranchised 17-year-old. Hear, all who will! Weigh the wisdom of my words for yourself. Study history, for those who will not learn from it are doomed to repeat it. Don't think that this nation, this world, is too modern for a bloody revolution, the Ancient Egyptians, the Athenians, the Romans, the British and many others all had similar thoughts, and - look for yourself what came of it. In particular the Romans, who enjoyed a very similar society, fell from it in the life of ONE MAN called Julius Caesar. I pray that neither I nor my children will see the end of this praiseworthy, glorious experiment in liberty, but I for one intend to fight it's death as I must, depending only on God, who will not turn against those who serve Him, and striving for true freedom. May all live well and find true truth, and grow in the knowledge and love of God. In reply to: "Directed-energy weapons keep on truckin'"

• Coke machine?
  I've an idea, why don't we make the entire metal surface of the car covered in solar paneling, or at least as much as possible? Is that possible? And instead of a gold-foil sunshade, use a segmented solar panel sunshade! Aren't I a genius? Now someone go invent that, then our Cokes can stay cold.

• hello...
  He gave up his freedom when he broke the laws of this country. ALSO, show me where in our Constitution (states' or federal) it says anything remotely resembling a "freedom of choice", whether it's of operating systems or abortion or what kind of cheese we eat on our pizza. He committed a crime. He is paying the price, suffering the consequences, of his actions, which were WRONG and PUNISHABLE by due process of law, which he had. The officers should not have to learn a new operating system just to ensure he isn't violating his parole, HE is the convicted felon for cryin out loud!! If he can't use Linux, (which BTW sucks for him) TOUGH!!! DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME (or whatever form of punishment you are handed).

  You'd have to pay me a lot of money to catch me doing that, but it looks hilarious (at least when you know they aren't really being fried alive)

• Good to hear...
  ...that there is an increasing demand for solar panels, and now a way to feed that demand cheaply. I want to see it (solar power in general) become very widely adopted. I just hope that the dudes don't start overcharging for their scrap silicon.

• To all who commented on the 11'' size...
  The impression I got was that they were demo models, that they aren't actually selling these things to compete with TVs. They are showing off the technology. Get half a brain and make a leap! But make sure you're not leaping into a door-sized wall-mounted OLED TV displaying an image of an open door; they actually looked flat enough to fool someone.

• I concur
  He was correct. It makes me sad to see people (and companies) wasting their money and time buying and making LCDs and such when their old CRT has such a nicer, warmer, richer, realer picture. That's why I said in my previous comment that I might not laugh at people who spent thousands on a SED set, because it's supposed to be the same technology as CRT, just in a flat screen, with electron emitters on every pixel instead of in a "huge" gun that sweeps the screen. We'll see, though.
