I bet this bot race is doing a great deal to improve relations between San Francisco's tech population and...well, everyone else in SF.

Whoa, spooky. First thing I noticed was really the fact that it took these companies so long to put these statements out there, in Mark's case less than an hour ago as of the time of this posting. Personally, if someone accused my comp

Kinda reminds me of back when I used to grow organic vegetables for a living. Well, tried to. The farmer I worked with specialized more in meats and the like, and together me and him would drive down to Houston and The Woodlands to make d

Agreed. On days where it's more desolate than usual I like to imagine I'm on a distant alien planet. Alamogordo is about an hour away from where I live, I can't help but wonder if they'll let me pay a visit and check it out.

If you live in the future, you'll have access to relatively cheap VR headsets, so build an online classroom platform that delivers content through immersive VR classrooms, rather than embedded video.

I can't say I can fully side with the natives, but there is one particular set of quotes I couldn't help but reflect on for their mix of arrogance and ignorance, the ones from the anonymous software engineer. "We feel what we're doing help

Blankets? Makes me think of a certain incident where blankets that were possibly contaminated with smallpox were given to Native Americans during the siege of Fort Pitt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac%27s_Rebellion#Siege_of_... Not

You know, I've come to think of Google as less of a corporation and more of a country lately. Most of their products act more like a sort of public service for their citizens, subsidized through ad revenue rather than taxes. So far, it's h

I would assume that from a management perspective a slight dip in productivity is worth it if it means that the office atmosphere doesn't stink of upset moods. If it doesn't bother them, then I would also assume that they're accustomed to s

Huh. Inconvenient I'm sure, but this actually sounds rather fun. There are people I haven't talked to in a while. Maybe I should invite them to LinkedIn. Well, that, or I could just send them an e-mail, but that doesn't sound nearly as in

Funny they should mention this, when I first went to college I majored in Horticulture, the idea being that I would one day be an organic farmer. Turns out that's a lousy way of learning the trade. They'll teach you a little bit of the han

Doing the right thing so many times you've lost count doesn't excuse doing the wrong thing. And the way this was handled, it feels more wrong than right, and she certainly had some considerable say in the way it played out. Maybe she's had

So, they're saying that the 3D printer is like the PC in that it's one big piracy box? I'm disappointed, but I guess all the speculation about how the 3D printer will change our lives for the better has been covered by now.
