US military tests massive GPS jamming weapon over California

Anti-Euro haters said Galileo was a waste of money but you can't outsource critical national infrastructure to another sovereign power. It's why Russias got Glonass and China's building BeiDou. And Galielo was built in the UK

Star Wars VII: The Disney Movie signs Toy Story III script genius

I just replied that to the same effect. Star wars with Speilberg , probably would have an ewok as the leading character. I mean AI . ... Wow.

Re: @ AC

At the rate of sounding like a complete nerd (and in my defense my son loves this stuff) Star wars has a story that goes on beyond the films (there were 9 in total of the books). So there is easily a story that could carry on.

For me I'm just glad Speilberg is not directing it. So tired of his cliche ridden storytelling that can ruin any film. His last good film was Schindlers list. Every film since ET has the 'kids saving the world' cliche . And War of the worlds started immensly, and about half way through turns into an awful film.

Get Joss wheedon to direct (Co-incidentally he co-wrote Toy Story) and Michel Ardnt to write and you have the makings of a good film. Time for some of the tired old Hollywood hands to make way for some new hotshots...

Apple's Retina Macs: A little too elite?

Apple has to be ahead of the curve

Jobs famously said "IMac is next year's computer for $1299, not last year's computer for $999"

That is the key to their success. It took a while for the Air to catch on but then it left competitors in the dust. Same with Retina. I am amazed that that seriously amped up the power and spec with Retina display yet is half the thickness of my Feb 2012 15" MBP.
