Nice try but no. Actually these funky masks have been around for ages: think hayfever season in March. If anything the New Yorkers copied the Japanese.

Toshiba's phones were subpar compared to other Japanese makers like Sharp or Panasonic. A Cut throat market to put out average products in.

come again? he let him get away? peering through doors and then "retreating'"?? why wasn't he carrying a radio on his person so that he could call for back up instantly and keep the perp in view? why didnt he kick open the door pull out his side arm and order the him to assume the position? Afterall he was told by the a resident of the house that he was an intruder; ergo, game on - do your job man! Police have to be prepared for the unexpected, a routine call can turn out to be a whole more. I am curous if this was a scared rookie cop or a greyhaired veteran too long in the tooth to be effective.

GPS, glitch? these are special overlays that you have to manually download and add into google earth. 99.99% of google earth users would never see these overlays - only google earth geeks. In fact this news story which is running all over the world in tech news sections of newssites has drawn a thousand times more attention to them than if no one had mentioned anything.

they are useful for people who are already sick to provide a barrier between us and their breathing, coughing and sneezing - not a perfect barrier by any stretch but slightly better than nothing.

to those talking about annual flu deaths: this flu is killing young healthy people, flu usually causes the deaths n the elderly and infirm - who were on the way out anyway. There in lies the difference.
Get this flu and build up a resistance?? are you serious? this flu not your usual one, it is apparently pure agony. I read of one guy who got it in Mexico and survived. An insane fever and a feeling of being on fire, unquenchable thirst, pain that made him pass out, he needed oxygen to breathe in the end. I will pass on that thanks very much.
