This is really for Bill, Bill S and Rede in there black hole and dark matter thoughts.

AMS released some prelim results it was well covered by Tommaso Dorigo.

Lubos has posed and asked some very interesting questions

Now as he said even armchair physicist can have a go at answering the questions he poses he even gives you lots of hints

It covers all the things you guys were discussing about dark matter so have a crack and see if you can come up with an answer.

I'm afraid that Lubos' definition of a "simple and ingenious armchair physicist" is a bit above mine. I mostly have no idea what he is talking about, and I certainly don't have enough knowledge to even start answering his questions. I see he does mention micro black holes, but since he doesn't tell us much about them and how they work I don't get much new information from his discussion.

In the comments the answers by JaneHM basically covers it.

Now you are heading back to here

To understand why review black hole evaporation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

Especially read the section "Black hole evaporation has several significant consequences"

The short form of the answer I can make is the process is not going to be nice and simple (the point I think Lubos was making) OR gravity is not a quantum field.

I like Lubos am open to other ideas but I can't see many choices here you really need a sharp cutoff for that answer to fly.
