"With Christa McAuliffe set to be the first teacher in space, NASA had arranged a satellite broadcast of the full mission into television sets in many schools, but the general public did not have access to this unless they were one of the then-few people with satellite dishes. What most people recall as a "live broadcast" was actually the taped replay broadcast soon after the event." http://www.nbcnews.com/id/11031097/

Undiluted seawater suitability seems to vary by food[1][2], my cursory search didn't provide any factual specifics for rice, oatmeal, and vegetables. Some comments indicate you can boil fish in straight seawater.
That's all without considering pollution and natural toxins from algae blooms. The sources I skimmed mentioned commercially sourced culinary "sea water", I would expect some amount of filtering and heat treatment.

I've been to small towns with a "House of Pizza" that made an awful flavorless and bready crust, and the locals loved it because they had no reference for anything better.
These are small frictions, but in the same way that every ounce/gram counts to a hiker, minimizing process frictions makes a big difference in productivity during times you already have a high cognitive load.
I'm not aware of any, and this article seems to confirm it: http://www.businessinsider.com/macbook-touchpad-better-than-...
Saddest thing is I can see a board room eating this up. Remember when Marissa Mayer redesigned the Yahoo logo with a small team over a weekend? "no straight lines in nature" she said. Sounds good, except it is wrong.
"Taking its name from Freud's primal, instinct-driven face of the human psyche, id Software is, by general acknowledgement, the coolest game shop in the world."
I used to make similar mistakes years ago, for a long time thinking it was "Eye Dee Software", so I'm posting this to enlighten others, rather than being a grammar commie.
Interestingly, there was a game called iD published in 1986: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID_%28video_game%29
Not that I disagree, it is just fun to think about possible unintended consequences of dependency on AI for every day tasks. I am sure there are some short stories that deal with people in an advanced civilization losing their automation, but I can't seem to track any down on Google at the moment.
It is worth reading the wikipedia article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult
I've always thought the idea was linked to the concept of the Outside Context Problem, as a temporary case (the US service personnel eventually left, giving rise to the cult). Iain Banks purportedly coined this term and uses this as the basis of his novel Excession: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outside_Context_Problem#Outsid...
Amusingly, Banks also had a ship named Cargo Cult in another Culture novel (The Player of Games).
It has been great to see the progress in the 2.5 years since, with LibCEC and availability of commercial adapters. As far as I know, no discrete video card yet offers access to the CEC bus.
I'm not sure what security vulnerabilities are possible via CEC, no vectors that I can see, but I am no Moxie Marlinspike. I suppose newer sets may store things like Netflix credentials, but CEC is often implemented in a discrete chip, or embedded port controller. That was the state of things in 2008 models anyway, and it is a fast moving area, so I am likely way out of date. The OSD "internet features" of my 2008 Samsung are laughably quaint compared to what budget models can do today.
Somewhat reminds me of the following story. Not exactly, but it is an interesting read anyway: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/25/charles_eicher_chris...
This sums it up. "Todo" examples are intended as a web/js-framework equivalent to the traditional "Hello World" example used to introduce a programming language. "Todo" defines a basic unit of usefulness that can be easily implemented to give the target audience an idea of what a given framework "looks like". It isn't perfect, but it is a starting point for framework comparison.
By tomorrow every blog story linked will be using this ultra minimalist design.
Here are a few links that may be insightful on how they work:

Enjoying the role is another thing though.

If you haven't seen any of Marlinspikes presentations, you are missing out on some fascinating stuff.

Everything I've read over the last year seems to imply that Apple is losing interest in the pro A/V market in favor of the profitable portable market, instead of keeping both going.
