Airline delayed/missing/found baggage items. Once, the SITA database in Atlanta was bigger than google (10 years ago or so). A monopoly that carries extreme costs for airlines. All interaction via archaic terminals, with a few local GUI imp

It was mostly the media who got off on this, to the point of creating mobile apps that gave you information about how much people near you made. Ridiculous. I'm glad it's been restricted in that regard.

Aahh... Yeah that was a bit silly both of me and Apple. :) But the idea is still sound, keep at it.

The nerd in me likes this idea. But I can't see the practical use. Nevertheless, seeing the DEATH of the RSS INDUSTRY following the killing of Google Reader, a new format wouldn't feel out of place. Fresh new start and everything... :)

Looks great, I've had the same idea. Probably not alone in that :) - But I'm a little curious - 25m+ likes on itunes, 7.2m+ likes on App Store, and still doesn't make more than $10 per week? How? I'd not hesitate to pay for it, except I'd n

Sorry, but you're wrong. 26 million bags were not lost - most were delayed in connection. Which means you ran to your next flight and made it just in time, but your bag travels slower than you do. In any case, you got it back a few hours or

Just a silly story: some hospitals here in Norway print out patient-information, get an ambulance (an ambulance!) to drive it to the other hospital, and a nurse will type it into the other system (45 minutes she says it takes her). 2011 AD.

Sounds like "The Game" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119174/ from 1997. Quite a good film, hopefully this game is not that sinister. :)

See XBMC Live, which is just as you describe (Ubuntu/XBMC) http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Live without installing yourself. Apology if that's exactly what you meant.

XBMC plays anything you throw at it. From anywhere :)

Ditto, only on a HTPC I built myself. I tried Windows Media Center, for about a day, but couldn't stand it and went for the good old XBMC. And the remote control? A small, cheap, wireless mouse. Works wonders! A magnificient piece of softwa

Photoshop Elements is reasonably priced at £58 on Amazon as of right now. The people you're talking about do not NEED the full $1000 package.

Had it been me, I'd prefer to be shot into space. In a zillion years, there's a miniscule chance to be discovered by another species. In the at least, I'll eventually turn into stardust and become part of another cycle of magnificient myste

Probably random mutation that happened to turn out beneficial for us. In evolutionary sense, a larger brain doesn't seem to be of utmost importance for reproduction.

I dunno about fair game, The Verve would probably disagree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_Sweet_Symphony Basically, they sampled the "orchestral riff" from Rolling Stones, and in the end got sued and were forced to pay all royalties

I feel this video is apt for this topic - Laurence Krauss - A universe from nothing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo&feature=playe... It had me mesmerized and mystified for the whole run.

I highly recommend the book "Masters of Doom" (Amazon), an in-depth look at id Software from the modest beginnings until Quake III. A must for any geek!

Most bags is "lost" (delayed is the proper term) when the incoming aircraft is delayed, for any reason, and the remaining time is too short to unload it, sort it, (screen it), deliver it to the connecting flight in time. The connecting airc
