Apple to release a working Myst linking book?
Microsoft is pretty darn good at driving press stories. I think the Bing bump was a press storm.

Brilliant!
off topic but..
it sure would be nice if search engines had a
“non java pages only” button/filter
a quick sort of the flotsam from the jetsam
John, you are right about this new Apple Tablet being an e-Book reader. I have been predicting that this thing will be the Kindle killer by offering better interface and color making it a lightweight solution for all those textbooks students have to lug around. You can view more on my opinion at my podcast (just click on the link above, Ep. #99).
The US government can and will tinker with our GPS satellites to throw off users if they feel the bad guys are using them. We are behind in replacing some older satellites. We also deliberately limit how accurate a GPS can be or at least we did at one time. Not sure about now.
The EU may want to be able to avoid those problems.
There is no way nanobots can fix worn out DNA at least in the short term.
You might be able to fix one cell in a lab and grow enough stem cells to inject into a person to repair at least some of the damage caused by time but that still wouldn’t make you young unless you replaced all of your cells and replacing brain cells would most likely cost you the memories they have stored.
A full replacement if done at all quickly would leave you going goo goo dada.
It is interesting the Windows 7 would have an “XP mode”, rather than a “Vista mode”. This tells us that either Vista wasn’t nearly as successful as XP, to warrant a stimulate mode of Vista. Or… Windows 7 really is Vista, but with different skins and such. And it doesn’t need to simulate a Vista environment for older software. I’m going with the latter. Windows 7 is Vista SE optimized. But Microsoft renamed it, because of the bad stigma that Vista has. Even Apple updates the name of its MacOS, with different animal names. Rather than saying it’s just OS10.6+. Once again, Microsoft copies Apple, by obscuring that their newest OS isn’t all that new.
