UB Students to Study Smartphones Usage

A group of student researchers at the University at Buffalo at Amherst are focused on making smartphones smarter and faster for the average user.

UB is using a $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation for a new study.



This should be for the smartphone companies to do. What does that government get out of this? We are overspending out of our ears, and we are giving money to universities to study this.

You bring up some cuts that should be on the table and I have been paying attention to your threads, but I agree with others that these cuts are too small. All the cuts you have put together most likely do not equal 100 billion. With out Medicare, Medicaid, SS,and military cuts we are spinning our wheels and going nowhere.

Some cuts are millions - some are billions - they all add up.

Promoting progress of science (and arts) is an enumerated power in the US Constitution.

It ain't you who is in a position to define what is or isn't science.

We won't be having this discussion if you had an understanding of what science is. But, it is obvious that you don't.

I love these one line battles. Twitter exists for mentally challenged americans who can only think one sentence at a time. Go join your countrymen and use that instead.

And yes its a disgusting waste of money and a newspaper should look into who gains from it...but journalists in braindead america dont do their jobs any more...so fat chance of that.
