You can blame the 'stupid user' all you want, but you still have to staff those phones with expensive tech-support people if you want to sell or distribute within your company software that hasn't been designed. -- Alan Cooper    (via interaction-design.org)

The days of the TGV are numbered

Loosely translated from Japaneese ...

"The days of the title of the fastest train in the world - the French TGV are numbered because the Linear-Express train of Japan Rail is becoming increasingly real. Indeed, an exposure took place last week at a station in Tokyo. Moreover, you will have the chance, again, to go up in the prototype next March in Yamanashi-ken where the first kilometers of the future Tokyo-Osaka line are built."

The Linear-Express train is a train without wheels, thus without friction that enables it to reach very high speeds.

Cruising Speed: 581km/h
Maximum speed: 1003km/h
Engine: (with the normal use of the term) non-existent
In fact, the rails provide the propulsion by reversing the polarity of its electromagnets (the polarity of the train does not change).
