   So the question is, if there comes a period of upheaval in the next decade ... what could a well-meaning entrepreneur work on now that will either help socially (secure communications, ad-hoc networking to avoid government lockdowns). Or ma

   interesting, didn't know there was already a little cottage industry here. I'm totally not advocating it, but I'm curious how would anyone know (assuming the spinner actually outputs quality copy)? I guess it would be up to to the prosecuti

   I wonder if there's a market for a rewriting service ... takes a volume of text, and rewrites it using different words so that it's the same content, but not copied.

   Do you have 20 grand lying around to buy a server farm of mac minis? ;) In order to offer the course, they need to build the infrastructure ... and in order to build the infrastructure, one needs capital to even start on the venture. In t

   "App.net has the potential to be something more fundamental, like the web (HTTP) or email (SMTP)." Unfortunately, I have my reservations about this ... both of those protocols are, by definition, decentralized. They don't depend on a specif

    Glad you enjoyed it :) I was actually looking for this video back when I posted this reply but couldn't find it. Just found it though ... this is a great talk at Google by Chade-Meng Tan, I highly encourage you to give it a watch: http://w

    I wonder if this means Bing is out and we'll see a new partnership with Google in the coming months. If so, it's a total ninja takeover :)

    I'm sure YMMV, but I'll relay one of the best bits of advice that I ever got. My employer had a "health day" where they brought in some health professionals and let all of us go and talk to them throughout the day (trainer, chiropractor, ps

    Maybe Apple can take this algorithm and use it as the scaling algorithm for low res images on retina displays.

    oh wow, now that you mention it you're right ... PowerShell does take a long time to start up. I tend to leave a powershell window open for pretty much my whole session so I guess it's not a huge deal for me. But yeah, when starting up I de

    Well said. Also, the very fact that the service allowed lower quality games is actually a good thing ... many game developers made well received titles on XNA and have moved on to bigger and better things (see Ska Studios, and Zeboyd Games

    This is great! hopefully it can deliver on the promise that XBox Live Indie Games never quite delivered on ... which is to say giving indies a channel to the same marketplace, on the same terms, as everyone else. The problem with XBLIG was

    I've never understood this mindset (though I completely respect your right to have it). Whenever a new version of the OS, or IDE, or whatever tool I'm using comes out, I tend to try to upgrade as soon as possible. For me it's about finding

    I don't know why, but I had a visceral reaction to the browser prompt to install the extension in the paddleover demo. This is despite the fact that I'm a developer, and I'm well familiar with bittorrent. Maybe it has something to do with t

    This is great news for these guys! They've been working on the tech for years and I'm glad to see a good exit for them. For those of you who don't know, David Perry is the guy who brought us Earthworm Jim :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da

    I just can't imagine how that meeting went ... this was planned by someone, more than one person even. How did no one say, "hmm, maybe this isn't the most tactful approach".

    Good god, that is horrifying. Did I miss it, or did the article not say how one contracts this? I think I'll steer clear of the pork chops today.
