    This is nothing new, tibetan groups have been attacking han chinese for years. The most recent was early this year, they basically rode into a city in a few trucks, got off, and started killing all han chinese they see with butcher knives and bricks, and not just the men. The government had to...

    Rimms 5K layoffs. What did these people do. there must be lots of bloat in corp's

    happens over and over, look at kodak. I remember just a decade ago they were the pinnacle of photography and dominated the market with their 35mm films and printing. Then they just watched as the digital took over, didnt even try to fight... same with rimm.

    Siri, APPL etc

    it's useless now, but will be something that changes the world in the future. Siri on iphone is still in its infant stage, apple is using its customers as testers to train & perfect siri over time. Unlike regular voice recognition, siri is an AI - backed by large farms in apple's data center...

    Anyone Betting on Facebook?

    The business model is there, it just takes time for them to monetize it, some of it is starting already. Ads is just one part of it, the real money to me is all the apps they have, it's a giant market that fb hasnt even begin to scratch the surface yet. Think of it just another apple app store...

    Projector specs

    once you watch a full 1080p hd movie from a good source on a 100"+ screen, you will never go back to tv again. It's better than the movie theaters in term of picture quality. A tv is just that..a tv, not a movie experience. Only projector can deliver that. The first time you watch planet earth...

    Anyone Betting on Facebook?

    You have no idea how difficult it is to establish a new social site like facebook, once you got 30%+ users switched over then yes the snowball effect takes over, but to get the initial 30% to switch is very difficult.

    Never done much clubbing, but when out of town coworkers come, we usually just take them to the meat packing district and hop around 5 clubs and call it a night. Weekdays are pretty quiet, weekend will be packed. Depends on what you like. Hit plunge around 9th & 13 for a relaxed vibe & nice...

    nok

    what you guys think? has a chance to ever make a comeback? unlike rimm, i actually think the company is going in the right direction with windows os - which isnt all that bad, and also aggressively pricing the new lumia 900. But damn that's a sad looking chart and they are still bleeding...
