For families with children, I've noticed that most airports (I've been to anyway) now have a family security line, which uses traditional metal detectors instead of body scanners and doesn't try to make kids go through the scanners. The lines are also usually shorter and friendlier to the extra time it takes getting kids through the line. However, I'm usually slower than the kids because I have to get all my laptops out, belt and shoes off, etc.
If I'm by myself or somehow end up with body scanner as the only option, I always opt-out. I guess part of the theater is designed to embarrass me, but I wonder why I should be more embarrassed than the dude squatting down below me to give me the feel in front of everybody (and no, I don't want a private screening, get down there and feel me up right here in the open). Like someone else suggested, I think they're as embarrassed as I am (or am supposed to be).
Yeah, I second that. The tablet sounds great, so I placed a pre-order on Jun 28. Never got an estimated ship date then and seeing this post reminded me about it. I checked my order status on Google Wallet just now and it still gives no estimated ship date or any status whatsoever. Sorry, in a world of Amazon and Apple that have this basic delivery status down, this is a failure for Google. I'm hoping it will eventually ship and that it does prove to wow me, but this experience is definitely bad. I'm left to basically hope it arrives someday. If they just said, it'll be 5 weeks or 6 months or whatever, that would be far superior to saying nothing. Setting expectations is a key part of customer service that is missing here.
> Want to learn about the world? Dont travel! Learn a language.
I read that to mean "Learn English", which makes sense, but is not very helpful to an American because only learning English as a second language gives the advantages you described.
I totally understand your point, but coming from the other side as an American, what language should we learn?
Disclaimer: my kids will be learning Mandarin Chinese.
I didn't know what you were talking about until I went back and accidentally kudos'd the post myself. The creators "defense" sounds more like an FU or maybe that the whole thing is really more of a joke. In the end, I'm not upset that I accidentally kudos'd since to me it's pretty clear that the whole feature is meaningless anyway.
I also remember reading a while back that trying to disguise your email with the "username (at) gmail (dot) com" approach is worse than just putting the raw email out there because it's not only just as easy to sniff out on the page, but you can also search for it in search engines: try searching for "at gmail dot com" vs "@gmail.com" in various search engines
> Good voice recognition would also work, but I haven't seen this yet in a car.
Ditto. This seems like the obvious solution to the future of UIs, especially when driving or something else that occupies your main concentration (walking, etc). In the age of Siri and Google Maps, you'd think your car could handle simple commands like "find 123 StreetName" and map to it in the city you're in or close to. I've hated the concept of voice recognition for a long time, primarily because I don't speak clearly enough for most of the technologies to understand me, but now that it's getting better I truly believe this is the future.
Now it's like (press button, wait for beep) "Find 123 StreetName". Response: "Tuning radio to 1100 AM". "Wait, no..."
For the future think Star Trek: "Computer, where is the nearest gas station?" (note: addressing the computer to activate instead of pressing a button on the steering wheel = genius). Then a kindly female voice responds: "There is a Chevron and a 76 at the next exit, would you like me to route you to one of those?". "Yes, route me to the Chevron", etc.
