I would argue that this would make people more likely to go on murderous rampage

There are plenty of other uses plants can be used than food. Especially if those become more economically viable with higher yield.

Actually, there is a nice place where you can use all of this CO2 - make the richer mixture of CO2/Air and use it in greenhouses. If I remember my high-school biology correctly, more CO2 in air (up to 0.07%) would make plants have better photosynthesis process and much higher yield.

LG G2 and G3 sold like crazy, not sure about the G4, but apparently G5 was a flop. And with reason, main selling point were flashy gimmicks nobody actually needed.

Let me guess - you work for IBM?

Which is really a pity - they are probably one of the last producers of phones with changeable batteries and sd card slot. My LG G3 is 2.5 years old and still going strong as day 1.

They have succumb to the trend set by (also failed) Google ARA project which made no sense to start with.

If anybody from the LG is reading this: keep doing what you were doing, only "modular" thing needed on the phone are battery and memory card. Keep the headphone jack, keep the excellent build quality and do as minimal changes as you must to the original android UI.

There is a lot of us that don't want flashy gimmicks with money to spend and less and less options to choose. Be smart.

You must eat a lot of toast

These guys are onto something, but you are looking at it the wrong way - the point is not in the "solar" part, but in the "roadway" part.

Look at it this way - road technology plainly suck:

a) Potholes. They cause damage to vehicles, discomfort to the ride and when danger to the general traffic. Even when semi-skilled workers fix them they still leave uneven level and often inferior type of asphalt that is more prone to wear&tear so after some time you are back to square one. With the solar road you pop the panel out, put in the new one and you are done, and is has exact same characteristics as rest of the road

b) Weather. It can be rain that is not drained properly, snow & ice that are not cleared from the road or heat in combination with heavy vehicles that dissolves the asphalt into trenches, the road changes its main form making it dangerous to drive. Imagine designing the solar panels with proper drainage points, heating panels and general structure that can accomodate temperature changes so it doesnt change structure

c) Horizontal signalization. You always have a tedious job of repainting the roads and even then the signalization that you make is static. Now, add couple of LEDs and you can add much superior signalization to a bucket of paint; further on a little bit of programming and your road can have dynamic purpose that would change during rush-hours, traffic accidents, road words and so on

I believe it is a matter of time before we see these "modular" blocks that will make our roads. Adding solar panels is just an added bonus for environmental and even more, marketing part

...which increase the number of listeners on the radio, which increases the price of any ads that they put in the program and money back to artists through IP.

And not to mention any concert tickets you might buy.

I agree.

How much CPUs/RAM/megapixels do you really need in a phone? How much apps do you actually use? The market is quickly becoming saturated.

But the phone that takes security seriously? I see a nice piece of pie in the business market that Blackberry is losing with each day, and Apple and Google will not be able to fill,

Or IBM

I guess woman are more genetically prone to detecting unclosed parenthesis

Maybe go even a step further: treadmill desk.

I had one built and it is awesome.

1. Post video doing some pretty innocent action (watching tv, pouring coffee, sweeping the house) as having sex with a lamp post
2. Rick roll the video, so it gets plenty of hits and Robo Brain takes it into consideration
3. ???
4. Profit!

....when you can walk?

I have a custom setup similar to this for over 2 weeks. Very happy with it.
