Aviation Week : Panel Finds Astronauts Flew While Intoxicated

Hmph, let's see...

1. 2 Solid state rockets at 3,300,000 Lbs of thrust each.
2. Odds of dying on a shuttle mission are about 1 in 50 to 60
3. The shuttles are at or over 20 years old.
4. 2.5 million individual parts on a space shuttle.
5. Knowledge that the shuttle was made by the lowest bidders.
6. You're riding on top of the shuttle.

...and you're not going to want to get a little tipsy before take-off?

Aquafina Source Is Same As for Tap

Well, looks like it's time to go buy one of those Pur water filters for the kitchen sink... since I'll be getting about the same product for only a fraction of the cost.

Microsoft choosing the long road to consumers... yet again

2007-07-27T12:36:00.001-07:00

It gets tiring saying that Microsoft should learn from their competitors, but you can put all the blame on Microsoft for your weary tongue. While Apple is taking multi-touch technology directly to "every day" consumers via the iPhone, Microsoft is going direct to commercial with it's new Surface product. In a recent eWeek article, Microsoft is said to be waiting until the technology and pricing is "more mass-market-friendly". Considering that the iPhone sold around half a million units on its opening weekend of availability, I'd say that this technology is already "mass-market-friendly".

Don't expect Microsoft to understand that. Vista was released years ago under the name of Apple's OS X. Microsoft is always behind in the game when it comes to innovation. By the time Surface reaches John Q. Consumer it will have already been released years ago under the name of Apple's "Horizon"... or whatever name Apple's creative team comes up with.
