Segway CTO leaves to join Apple design team [Doug Field] (6)
on Valleywag (549) permalinkDoug Field, described as "the driving force behind Segway" on the company's customer forums, is leaving Segway for Apple, where his role will be "a VP of product design" according to a Segway coworker. (Just nosy: If Field is not the VP of product design, but a VP, then how many vice presidents of product design does the company have?) A few years ago, Steve Jobs slammed the Segway as "this incredibly innovative machine but ...

- Jardenberg said: Haha, det här är makalöst kul, och så rätt på så många sätt. "Larry and Sergey told me we could only add this to the homepage if we took a word away - keeping the "weight" of the homepage unchanged at 28. Given that the new Privacy link fit best with legal disclaimers on the page, I looked to the copyright line. There, we dropped the word "Google" (realizing it was implied, obviously) and added the new privacy link alongside it."

In a study published yesterday in Public Library of Science ONE, Dutch researchers ran five of the peerless instruments, made in the early 18th century by Italian craftsman Antonio Stradivari and synonymous with harmonic perfection, through a CT scanner. The resulting three-dimensional X-rays revealed that wood used in Stradivari's violins possessed an exceptionally uniform density, with little variation in growth rings added by trees each ...Shared by Abhishek (19) Alan (30) Alex Dumitru (1153) Angus (43) b (78) Dan (9) DigDoug (12) feWill (2) Izzy (9) J.

You may have read by now the official lie about this treatment, which is that it "simulates" the feeling of drowning. This is not the case.
