The biggest reason the under 5s vaccine is taking so long is that they don't suffer severe enough symptoms that they can easily test the efficacy of the virus. The same issue was there with the 5-11s but pharma, CDC, & FDA just glossed over that to approve the vaccines.

Don't have nordic study but here's NEJM Israeli one from the other day:
"In our study, definite or probable cases of myocarditis among persons between the ages of 16 and 19 years within 21 days after the second vaccine dose occurred in approximately 1 of 6637 male recipients"

From NEJM Israeli study on Pfizer:
"In our study, definite or probable cases of myocarditis among persons between the ages of 16 and 19 years within 21 days after the second vaccine dose occurred in approximately 1 of 6637 male recipients and in 1 of 99,853 female recipients."
Moderna shot is worse then for boys. What again is the rush to vaccinate the lowest risk age group?

They have already mentioned they're looking to move their PC division, and transition towards a services model, a la IBM. I'm not saying this will all pan out, but that's what has come out.

Is this a book or video series? I'd be interested if you could provide a link to the series you mention specifically.

In the FAQ, they mention additional release platforms would be one of the first things they would add should they raise enough money.
I think chances are good then since they've quite surpassed their initial goal!

This sounds exactly right. He was hired, in part, to make it more attractive for employees to work longer hours. He succeeded so it hardly seems unfair that he was well rewarded.
"He signed up, however, and started easing the computer engineers into the long hours culture with innovations including free beer and fortnightly "big ass" barbecues, and breakfast specials. He converted the "googlers" to a diet that ensured they kept working after lunch and weaned them off pizzas."

Well it is a 7in. screen so that could possibly reduce the file size needed.

Someone should snap up the PC division pronto ... in order to sell it back to HP at a 300% markup.
At this point, I'm sure the board would approve it.

Well, the price is ridiculous in relation to the 24hr viewing period. $5 for a 5 day viewing window would be more reasonable.
Honestly, don't any of these people have children? Kids don't always go for something in one take.

FYI, it supposedly fell somewhere between the T2 & T3 movies in the timeline. Mostly good episodes with the story picking up (and frankly getting crazier in a good way) by the second season.
It's worth a watch if you can handle knowing you won't get all the answers due to its cancellation.

Stargate Universe & The Sarah Connor Chronicles come to mind for me. Both went under just as they were hitting their stride IMO.

Re:Oh look, an iPad

I don't think there is any cause for worry. Lets look at some dates...
(1) Snow Leopard was released 8 months (Aug. '09) ago. (2) Leopard was out about 20 months (Oct '07) before that.
Given that, Apple could announce 10.7 at the 2011 WWDC, release that Fall, and be within their normal timeframes. I think for Apple this is the "Year of the iPad (and OS 4)." We just have to get used to that.
