...That, they say, increases the value of the 24 automated alerts the A330 emitted just before it vanished on June 1. Those warnings signaled electrical problems, reduced cabin pressure, considerable turbulence and, above all, conflicting information from the three Pitot tubes, devices that help pilots determine the plane's speed. Based on the alerts, one of the leading theories now is that malfunctioning sensors may have prevented the crew from correctly gauging the plane's velocity as it entered a turbulent zone. Traveling too fast in such conditions could have caused the A330 to break up; insufficient speed could have...
...think anything has staying power on the Internet? I feel that the medium encourages speed; it encourages churn. Occasionally you'll have people or ideas or artists that will buck that trend, but that tends to be the very, very rare exception...
...Another argument for buying local is that it enhances the "velocity" of money, or circulation speed, in the area. The idea is that if currency circulates more quickly, the money passes through more hands-and more people have had the benefit of the money and what it has purchased for them. "If you're buying local and not at a chain or branch store, chances are that store is not making a huge profit," says David Morris, Vice President of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a nonprofit economic research and development organization based in Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. "That...
...stands for speed, and true to its name, the smartphone promises to load apps more than twice as fast as last year's model. The phone now shoots video and has a wonderfully simple interface that allows you to visually "scrub" your footage - search through a visual timeline of what you shot - find what you want and instantly edit it. You'll even be able to instantly e-mail your clip to friends or someday upload it to Facebook - when AT&T gets around to it. The new phone has a 3-megapixel camera (autofocus...
...nothing. So I'm fully supporting Vote No on Everything, an organization started by Los Angeles doctor Reed Levine. You can tell this is a serious effort because the website sells T shirts. Levine realized the initiative system was faulty right after he voted for a $10 billion high-speed train and then wondered if $10 billion was a bargain or a rip-off for a high-speed train. His plan appeals to me, since if we vote against everything, our elected officials will be forced to deal with the issues themselves. Plus, it seems childish and obnoxious. So from...
