Dec 9 2012: Make the entire video screen clickable, so it would be easier to pause the videos. Also, make the videos constant bitrate, because its uber annoying when the player auto switches to a lower stream whenever I switch to another tab.
Aug 18 2010: This is just a technology demo. It won't have any real use, it's sole purpose is to advertise Kinect, the Xbox 360 motion controller. Molyneux is infamous by having big ideas, but the implementation always lacks, sadly.
Jun 3 2010: Got yout point and agree. More money definetly helps going forward, I say that too much money in an area wont necessarily help. Like it was outlined in the documentary Absolute Zero, where MIT went to buy expensive lasers, while Carl Wieman said, why not use lasers from old optical drives and fax machines? If you have a big budget you will always use the easiest route, which most of the time costs more.
Jun 3 2010: What would happen, if scientists would have all the money they want? That would severly cripple advancement, since instead of using their heads and think about possible consequences, they would apply brute force. The low budget is a necessary evil.
May 26 2010: Well, the USA first funded the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Now, when Talibans refuse to hand over the drug trade, USA attacks them. I don't really know if those Talibans whom train these childs are really Talibans or USA funded Talibans. Decide for yourself.
May 24 2010: People tend to view an achievement on a very tiny scale. What about our long term survival? Sooner or later we need to understand the very basics of how our universe works, how can we control stars, how can we save ourselves into a hard drive and restore it in a totally different - synthetic - body somewhere else. What if a big asteroid is headed right towards the Earth and we don't have the proper tools to avert it? And after that, when the Andromeda crashes into the Mily Way? And when the sun collapses? We would sit on top of a mountain and say: Well, we tried it, now lets go back to square one.
This is another great breakthrough which will revolutionize several industries. Yes, it could be used as a weapon, but most biotech labs have a strict security protocol and as none of the nuke silos spitted warheads in the past, these synthetic bacteria also wont get past those rigorous biolab safety standards.
Aug 9 2009: Does that matter what and how he said it? He talked about Hungarian people, and as a Hungarian thats a honor for me. Typical mindless behaviour... T
