Higgs Boson, come here, I want you.
A live synoptic of the darn great thing. 7792. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 1:22:14 AM With my new Droid I can now view Wiz's stuff! 7793. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 2:32:53 AM Way cool universe video, Wiz! 7794. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 2:32:55 AM Way cool universe video, Wiz! 7795. alistairConnor - 4/2/2010 4:08:00 PM Congratulations on the Droid!
Heh heh. I bet you can't get the LHC synoptic on it.
(Or maybe you can. Does Droid do Shockwave?) 7796. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 6:29:30 PM It said flash when I clicked. This phone will have it because Adobbe is just wrapping up a compatible this phone in particular is designed to support Flash. Apple said they have their own and won't do Flash. Ever. 7797. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 6:39:43 PM Pros so far: 3G,video, wifi, big screen, will have flash
Cons (some I'll figure out):
Not as good email, hyper -sensitive keyboard , not as intuitive
All compared to my bb, which I love. 7798. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 6:43:51 PM There's more, but I have to get used to this keyboard before I say it. 7799. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 7:17:00 PM BB' s battery is way better. 7800. arkymalarky - 4/2/2010 7:17:03 PM BB' s battery is way better. 7801. HCaulfield - 4/12/2010 4:36:58 PM My local Kroger put up a sign, "H1N1 shots here". But because of the font, I read "HINI (hiney) shots here". I passed. 7802. arkymalarky - 4/12/2010 9:53:56 PM Haha! Great to see you, HC! 7803. alistairConnor - 5/9/2010 10:57:02 AM Neanderthals R us
They cracked the Neanderthal genome, and it looks like we (Eurasians) have a touch of the tar brush...
Either during the overlap period in Europe, forty thousand years ago, or, more controversially, earlier in the Middle East, it seems there was some inter-species nookie. Raising the question as to whether they (we) were distinct species anyway.
The full Science paper, for pedants

I'm thinking how excited my dad would have been about this. And how much I regret not visiting Lascaux with him, when we could have. 7805. magoseph - 5/10/2010 9:51:39 PM Ali--you found me--hooray for you! 7806. vonKreedon - 5/11/2010 3:54:10 PM I thought that Neaderthals were already classified as sub-species of Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens neanderthalensis vs. Homo Sapiens sapien. Looking around it appears that this wasn't quite settled science as some taxonomies have them as Homo Neanderthalensis and others as Homo Sapiens neanderthalensis. At any rate, given how much they appear to have appeared like us, and given that men will have sex with sheep, it would be a surprise indeed if Sapiens sapien had NOT had sex with Sapiens neanderthalensis. 7807. thoughtful - 7/13/2010 2:20:05 PM Question for y'all....as I am leaving the company, I will no longer have access to a blackberry and will need a personal replacement. I would like something that combines phone with email access and internet access would be nice...should I just iphone it? Or should I look at something else....
I currently am used to the real keyboard of a blackberry but suppose I could get used to a flat one.
Also, after much consideration, the new house will be apple/mac not windows based (despite currently having 3 windows pcs...my old one plus 2 of my mothers) and i am seriously considering getting an ipad with which my completely non-techie husband (he never mastered the mouse/eye/hand coordination thing) could use to read his a.m. newspaper and such. I figured I'd start with one for myself and see if he could use it...and if he's happy, then get him one of his own.
Looking for all opinions, insights, warnings, etc any of you would care to provide...
thanks!

Bob and Mose love their iphones, but there are. Several reasons I'm more happy with this one, but not if I had a mac (which mose does).
