Is that really a fly mimicking a bee? That just looks like a bee to me.

It seems the mantis is smart enough to keep the potential stinger away from itself while munching away.

One of these days that fox is gonna get hungry and munch on that silly fuzz ball.

I'm sure buggy drivers preferred the feel of the leather reigns in their hands as well.

Paper books do have some great features, I love them - and I don't think they're going to completely disappear - they just won't be how people consume novels etc. anymore.

Pretty cool technology, but like it or not - paper books are on their way out. Sometimes, you think that an industry is in its twilight - and it's really not. A good example would be movie theatres.
Something about sitting in a big dark room with lots of strangers while munching over-priced popcorn - it's an experience we don't want to lose. Prognosticators have been trumpeting the doom of cinemas since the VCR - but it turns out, it's not going to happen.
Similarly, those same sages are now telling us that the end is nigh for bookstores. In this case, I'd agree. Bookstores and paper books don't offer enough of a distinction or an improvement over buying a Kindle copy. You're buying something to read at home anyway - not to consume in a bookstore, so so much better to just download it with a single click. Verily, I say - bookstore, the bell tones for thee.

Well put but I disagree. Most avid readers I've spoken to still prefer the tactile feel of a paper book to the electronic versions and until there is digital format standardization across marketing platforms, adoption will be slower.

Well put but I disagree. Most avid readers I've spoken to still prefer the tactile feel of a paper book to the electronic versions and until there is digital format standardization across marketing platforms, adoption will be slower. Also there is the question of longevity that people quickly ignore with digital formats.

If I buy a book its possible for generations of my family to read it or own it. Like all other digital based technologies, there is no certainty of being able to keep a kindle book or ibook forever. If the format changes, the technology evolves, or formats are just not supported it will be more noticeable with books than it has been with movies and music.

With movies and music new media and formats have meant improved quality and functionality, so people are willing to repurchase for improved experiences. It is unlikely that books will have this added benefit as things progress and so convincing people to repurchase would be hard. This is where format standardization becomes key because you cant have an open standard or solution to longevity in a fractured market.

E-books are where music was when almost all digital music was in Real player format (or smaller competitors), it didn't fully explode until the open ended formats (mp3) became the standard. Once one of the more open e-book formats takes hold and e-readers become accessible to the vast majority of demographics...then maybe you can start to gauge if books will survive.

PS I'm curious if this machine or things like it would be embraced by higher education, for the purpose of printed materials they use now and perhaps to replace the scam that is college text book purchasing.

Indeed, plus, pits just love to bite and hang, that is what they were bread for (well bull dogs were and the bread is part bulldog). This is just a vertical game of tub of war, the dogs personality determines how noisy he gets in the growl area. Really, this is just a dog and his master having some harmless fun, and getting out some of the energy safely from a bread with a lot of power...which is a good thing! In my games of tugowar, I have gotten my hand munched a few times, the dog hear me scream in pain and knows to stop. Some might say it is a bad idea to teach a dog to bite to have fun, and there is some wisdom in that...but some does just love to do things like this and it will just frustrate them if you don't. Dogs are like 8 year old's, you need a plan, but that plan has to be adaptable to the state of the kid/dog.

Little guy was full of "awww" right up until he started munching the bug!

There are whole planets made of pot? What galaxy?

Me thinks that bear has been munching on the pot planets out in the forest the Canadians are growing and recognized the smell. He certainly had the munchies at the end.
