This is science news!?!?!?!

Nice hard-core science news.

Who approves these 'stories' to be posted?

Good job Mr.Jobs! I'm gonna have one!

Not science news. Why does physorg continue to post 'gadget' news? That's for Wired. Physorg: do you notice that these stories are always rated low? Is it a slow news day in science? Time to take the 'phys' out of physorg!

Did anyone notice that it's in the section called "Electronic Devices"?

Um... it's an electronic device.

This section is called Electronic Devices News. It's pretty self-explanatory really laugh.gif

EDIT: woops NOM, I guess I should have read your post first...

We are all familiar with standard dimensions of length (height), width (breadth) and depth (thick).

We could have a river that is 1,000 miles long. The distance from its start to its end.
That same river might be one mile wide at its widest point.
That same river may be 40 feet deep at its deepest point.

This would make the river's maximum dimensions Length 1.000 miles X width 1 mile X depth 1/132 of a mile.

What intrigues me is how can an object 8mm wide (1/3 of an inch) have a 3.5 inch screen?

What these idiots are trying to tell us is that this is a very thin device, being only 8mm thick.
NOT 8mm wide.
So why can they not describe it as being only 8mm thick?

Can somebody please educate them before turning them loose to dribble all over us through the media and internet?

dry.gif You're obviously not dumb. You managed to spam us with your company's URL and your email address by dredging up an old conversation and adding a redundant comment. If you don't like an article, you have the ability to rate it, which would be a much better option if you were truly unhappy with an article, rather than trying to attract attention to it or yourself.

Does your company know you are using the company tagline while you are adding personal comments? What if somebody were to respond with something like "AmericaLinx sucks?" Would you feel sorry for unwittingly dragging them into this?

I don't feel bad because I know "AmericaLinx develops competitive advantages for their customers with an emphasis on environmental responsibility" -well thought out solutions that save our customers millions of dollars. I have no shame in who I work for and I have no shame in posting my own ideas and my own personality here.

Unlike you and your friend, SAPO (and let's not forget that id!ot NOM) who I have yet to see even one post from any one out of you three that is even science related or even intelligent. All you do is come here and say negative things about people.

Here, let me tell you something about your behavior Barakn (and SAPO).....one of my hobbies is the study of Human Behavioral Sciences. Your behavior of negativity is a defensive strategy, a "safe defense" because you believe that by criticizing others you are positioning yourself as a forerunner against competitors in the event that your position is supported. That means that you put down other peoples ideas in the hopes that they do in fact turn out to be incorrect, thereby making it seem as though you actually do know what you are talking about, but the truth is that you are not ACTUALLY participating in anything. Naturally, a portion of the group will see you as "leader" material and will relate themselves to you and in return, your reward is a small share of the market or a "fan club". Its a safe place to shoot your competition from Barakn, and you and SAPO are pro's at it.....but in the end, even your duped followers will recognize that you are not really contributing anything and if they are capable, your followers will leave you.

In other words, you are like Satan....you pretend to be part of the crowd but you are secretly working with only your best interests in mind. You are both pathetic....

Apparently, you both have a deep problem that I might gain an opportunity here because I have my contact information in my signature. People buy from me because I am not afraid to think outside the box and find them solutions that blow their competitors away. How many companies have you made millions for Barakn?

I'm betting you, SAPO and NOM have no lives at all. Obviously you have time to snoop around and find everything I post and make lame, attacking posts against me. You and your monkeys even went through the trouble to leave negative marks on my ID in this forum. Thats desperate!

This behavior is not new to me....my life has been filled with it. I'm an innovative thinker and when something is new it's bound to threaten the one's who are pushed from their comfort zones.

Me....I am just happy to be alive, I LOVE to play with ideas, I'm an information fiend and I love to compare information then tear it apart and consume it bit by bit. I love to discuss theory in topics which interest me. I have my own techniques in everything I do and one of the BEST tools that Human Beings have at their disposal is the ability to make mistakes and learn from them. I hope you evolve.

Not that I owe you two underdeveloped forum trolls, nor any of your "fan club" any explanations but I left a reply on this thread because the original poster is named Maynard - who happens to share the same name of someone that I enjoy who happens to be the lead singer of my favorite band T00L - WHO HAS A PHD IN PHYSICS and who tends to think along the same lines as I do. And also I agree with the original poster that the details of an accessory is not science news. Sorta like your posts, Barakn, which are also not science related.

I didn't come to this forum and start posting to waste my time with forum trolls like you and SAPO. I came here to share in ideas. To inspire new thinking, new methods.

As far as who I work for....I don't think they mind that I use the company information, considering I'm one of the top earners.
:0)

I love my customers and they know my quarks.......as long as I make them hundreds of thousands of dollars, they don't care what I do.....


I bet you wish you could say that Barakn.

Your psychology is as lame as your physics.

I'm not surprised. And yet you fail to spot the common cause here, you. It's hardly surprising noone like you.

Didn't bother to read my posts, obviously.

Why are you so hung up on the money issue, and why would you think I am?

Yeah, I came back to apologize because I actually did go read your posts. Not bad! I had you confused with another ID name apparently. What I read today was not at all what I associated with you previously.

Although, I disagree with the way you occasionally spout accusations against some people, for the most part your posts are not bad...not at all.

Very productive. Good job!

My mistake for not confirming your identity before saying what I said about your posts. I wasn't aware at the time. Anyway, please accept my apologies. My mistake.

HAHAH!!!!


If my physics suck...call me on it. You can't because you know NOTHING....you're a waste of whatever it is that you eat.

it's very common,a failure to spot common cause.

Agreed. She is an obnoxious little troll, with a low intelligence.
