Crews exchange greetings after shuttle docks successfully – CNN.com:
OK, I hate to say this, as I love the space program, but if half the mission when the Shuttle gets to orbit is ensuring it will survive the deorbit burn, maybe its time to rethink the vehicle? Its akin to getting into your car, getting on the freeway to your destination, then thinking: well I hope we have brakes!
I wonder what Scott McCloud is going to make of the iPad?

if just half of the iPad book apps are going to be like this, and I was Amazon or Dell, I would be having some crisis meetings in conference rooms right about now.

If I was in the set-top box market, or TV content market, I'd react with a significant amount of fear to Tim Cook saying Apple had no interest in the TV market.

Yeah, thought so. I bet the next platform is AppleTV. Natural fit.

This happened to me on Orbitz when we went to Maui. I ended up having to call Orbitz and go through tons of levels to complain, called the GM of the hotel, etc. We got taken care of, but the hotel basically said that they treat Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia bookings as second to direct or agent booked travel.

I can attest to this. I've stopped buying Android phones because I figure every time you do, something "Amazing" is coming out on another carrier, or even on the same carrier. At least on the IPhone you know: Every July.

Can this please be the DirectTV Tivo that we all so need.

Why does the fact that someone is announcing a phone automatically mean its an iPhone killer? Lazy journalism, that's why.

Ethan: That’s why Shuttle end-of-life will happen early next decade [I don't believe the 2010 deadline, knowing the ISS Assembly Sequence and directly working in the logistics and maintenance flow], and also why we’re quickly working on the ARES I program to replace Shuttle. We would stop flying it today and put all monies into ARES, but there’s no other vehicle capable of carrying the components left to install on the International Space Station.
Once again, Von Braun was right—you don’t expose your heat shield during flight transition.
