Buying local will beat online.
Quote: “The store will ask if you would like to see a certain camera and have a salesperson meet you in a certain aisle where it is located,” Meyerson said. “The ability to do this painlessly, without the normal hassle of trying to find help, is very powerful.”
This I don't believe, in retailers quest for more profits I believe sales persons are heading the same direction that full service gas stations went. I see the store of the future having very few actual humans; a number of kiosks will be available to price and give information about products and when you go to check out it will be totally self service. A lot of stores already have self service aisles and corps. like McD's are experimenting with Kiosks. clickity[^]

"You cannot know the future if you do not know the past" (or something like that)
And no one knows the past like IBM, that's for sure

"Past performance is no guarantee of future performance." (or something like that)
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Firefox creator Mozilla release benchmarks showing that asm.js, its performance-optimised subset of JavaScript, can deliver performance only 1.5x slower than code compiled to run natively. If I had a quarter for every time someone claims "near native" performance, I'd have a "near native" salary

Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable. Here's mine. Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week. For me, "util" means utilitarian and it means don't clutter my tray. If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it's the bomb. Many/most are free some aren't. Those that aren't free are very likely worth your 30-day trial, and very likely worth your money. I guarantee you'll find something new and useful on the list (or double your money back)

BitTorrent wants to build a secure chat service that will only ever let a message's sender and receiver take a look at what's being sent — encrypted or otherwise. It announced the service several months ago, and today it's detailing how BitTorrent Chat will work. In a blog post, BitTorrent explains that the service will use public key encryption, forward secrecy, and a distributed hash table — a jumble of technologies that mean chats will be individually encrypted and won't be stored on some company's server. A S L Guid?
