With the help of synthetic polymers, the team managed to use the vascular system of rose stems to build the basic parts of electronic circuits inside the plant. I will avoid a bad pun about power plants. I leaf that to you.
Edit: changed the source due to some NSFWness. It was the XBox advert, wasn't it?

What better way to hide a bug ?
You can't even trust a live Rose anymore.

OK, then. The idea and possible uses are interesting, but a rose with embedded electronics still has thorns.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

A rose by any other name would make just a tweet.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

From criminals and politicians to friends and family, all sorts of people do stupid things every single day. But what exactly makes an act "stupid"? It's a harder question to answer than you might think. "Momma says stupid is as stupid does."

Albert Einstein said: Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Ah! So, you admit to your own doing of the same, this being the more educated audience.

Maybe an extreme example, but anyways ...
Adapted from a couple of verses by Bhartruhari (Sanskrit poet, about 1500 - 1600 years ago), from India:
It may be possible to:
- Extract oil from sand grains on the shores,
- Drink water from a mirage,
- Control a wild elephant, by using the tender stalk of a lotus plant,
- Break open a tough diamond, by using the end of a flower,
- Infuse sweetness into the mighty salty ocean, by using just a drop of honey,
but ...
it is impossible to bring sense into the mind of a stupid person. More so, for a stupid person, who is also arrogant.

Earlier this week, Google announced a new experiment that lets Android users "stream" a select handful of apps through mobile search without downloading them. Apps that run without being installed? Didn't we call those viruses?

There are plenty of legit apps that run without being formally installed. Doesn't make them a virus.

Depends on whether or not the user give permission. I recall several 'legit' applications (you know, stuff that runs on a computer, not a phone) that behaved like a virus would.
It is a funny article to read though. Did you know you need Wi-Fi to access a cloud?BI wrote: Google makes this possible by letting the apps run remotely on virtual machines through its cloud platform. (You'll need to be connected to Wi-Fi for the process to work.)

So, they re-invented websites?
Now please tell me that they use web techniques for the implementation.
