Once a capability exists, someone will use it. Age, gender, sexual orientation, all become "fair game" for those who thing they matter.

Who cares? I just like the look or I don't. I like the look of the 2010 cover better than the 2009, but that could be color or placement just as easily as the font. The only people who really notice are the pros anyway.

Before someone yells "a heads up display for the iPHone", it takes the military a lot of time to train pilots to look out past the HUD. With driving, you'd just throw on the HUD and take off! Just as dangerous as trying to look at the phone screen.

How about a link so I can see what is does? I carry a smart phone without the internet ($60 bucks a month)and can't justify the cost. I still don't see the ROI for mobile internet.

I sail small boats where a marginal improvement can be the difference between winning and loosing. You can win by less than a second over several hours sailing.

The difference in the future of hybrid and electric autos will be small improvements over long many years. Gee, just like the incremental improvements in gas powered cars over the last 100 years!

The use of cell phones for more than phones started outside the US because we had a substantial internet system before those features came to cell phones. Outside the US the internet and home computers came along with cell phones. A huge number of US cell phones belong to people who don't travel AND still need contact so the home computer/internet remains their prime contact service and the cell phone is for communication.

Great!
More push ads that interrupt what I am really interested in. I think it will turn out to be just more spam! The advertiser's ideas about what I want and when I want it on my screen NEVER match my ideas about what I what and when I want to see it. If it doesn't come with the default set to OFF, it's one reason not to buy this new phone.

GM used to be a niche car maker. You bought a Chevy for entry level, stepped up to a Pontiac, then an Oldsmobile, a Buick and finally a Cadillac. Their big problems started when they tried to have a similar price point model for each brand line. Once they lost their brand differentiation their sales tanked. Putting the finance guys in charge homogenized their cars into something no one hated, but no one loved either.

The largest problem with "retraining" is that it demands that the worker know what industry to plan for and where his/her abilities and interests will fit. And that they do it in an information poor environment. Most plans also demand that the worker make their decision years in advance since the training (which the worker is expected to pay for) since the training will take, at a minimum, 6 months but more likely 2 years.
