That's a tweet that suggests acrimonious split if I've ever seen one.

Sure, but it would be so awful to watch that it wouldn't survive longer than five years. Schumacher's Ferrari domination years were just terrible for fans.

Yes, this was what I was getting at. I don't want or need to have some physical object that tells me "this is my media". We've been through enough format changes to understand that "this is my media for ten years, then I'll need to convert

I hope we can now have the MPAA and RIAA realize that, actually, most people do want to pay, they don't choose to pirate because they are all inherently bad, and they don't need to be sued from the face of the Earth to show how bad they

...and what do you propose? Unfortunately for the PC games industry, the number of gamers willing to pay for games is not very high. Companies like Epic have basically gone out on the record and said "we stopped supporting PC because of pir

Have you been living in a cave for the past couple of years? Nokia is not a "great mobile brand". It was a great mobile brand, that then couldn't realize that software was beginning to win the smartphone war, and lost. Badly. Nokia's enti

None of the consoles are using online authorization to ensure game playability. The figures peg consoles that go online to be about 30%, that means the majority will never see an internet connection. Games like those published by Ubisoft do

Well, it will be until anyone is apprehended. I think it is fair to say that Sony did "kick the hornet's nest." Is that what caused them to become a target for black hats? Unlikely. Whoever did this was likely looking for a big score, likel

AMA video game researcher (Computer Science). I can confirm the truth of this, but I don't have any hard sources right now. If a AAA title doesn't move 1 million copies in opening week, the studio is going to be in trouble either directly f

Here's my take: 1. Oracle wanted full control of the project, which was clearly unlikely once Kohsuke left Oracle. 2. Once the Hudson team started acting somewhat autonomously, Oracle tried to frighten them out of doing anything without Ora

If I was really desperate for "support" of a dead open-source project, I would have chosen Atlassian's Bamboo.

OK, I'm an intern at Google, and I'm NDA'd, so I can only tell you what could be deduced from if you were a visitor at Google and walking through the halls. It's not that stuff is top secret, it's that information access is regulated to tho

End of the day, locking your bike outside is a losing battle. Whether it matches up to an angle grinder or not is not really the point, it just prevents opportunist theft. The goal of locking your bike is to ensure bits don't go missing. Ho

I was there. The Google stuff played well to the crowd, I think. It doesn't come across in the video.

Yeah, I've been playing around with the idea of Chaos Monkey at the code level, rather than at the systems level, but you can only truly do it with independent actors. I'm hoping to have something to show soon, probably on Akka/Scala. There

The short answer is that when Google started, Perforce was the best kid on the block. Once you get as far down the road as Google, it's hard to change that incumbent, even if culture dictates the use of open-source software. The other probl

I can believe there's the money, what I can't believe is why SurveyMonkey appears to be so entrenched, it's not a product that's hard to replicate (at least that's how it appears from the outside). It also has a URL that really looks scammy

My impression is that the CR-48 is a reference for the absolutely lowest minimum spec. I can't imagine Google seriously believe that anyone will sell a machine with Chrome OS on a machine that struggles on huge consumer sites like YouTube.

Don't worry about the job market. The only concern about the market you could have is jobs disappearing dot-com bust style, and I don't think that's likely. It seems you are worried about undergrads flooding the market when they graduate. I

This was exactly what came to my mind too. No professors that I know of were taught how to lecture, they just got thrown in and did it. When I've TA'd, I've totally winged it. What Khan does is no different, but at least he does it with cha

Well, I think theming is pretty funny in small doses. It's the actual complete lack of news that I can't stand. It's basically Internet Shutdown Day.

From my POV, I felt that the phone interviewers for my internship were chosen arbitrarily (mine were from New York, when I was trying to get a spot in the Mountain view campus). The reasoning appears to be that you're either good enough or

I'm an intern right now. Just today I saw Neil Fraser [1], who wrote MobWrite [2]. I shook his hand and thanked him, he's probably one of the reasons I actually managed to pass! My third phone interview had code in MobWrite, not Google Docs

How are you doing this? Citeseer caches the free versions people upload to their personal sites, so they're already making a clearing house for papers that skirts the legality. I am guessing you're crawling from behind some library account,

Incidentally, they also have an optional but suggested charge for papers containing color diagrams and over-length papers. These are wonderful holdovers from when people read papers in actual printed copies. When's the last time you read

...but remember this is only because they have no choice. IEEE/ACM would love to remove these clauses, but they've realized if they do, that's going to be the match that lights the fuse for all-out academic rebellion. It's not like that's

I would be happier if IEEE/ACM would typeset the damn articles. The International Conference of Software Engineering this year has hired a publishing company that have been sending manuscripts back for even the slightest failure to meet (th

With all this talk about Amazon, I'd love to hear if Amazon actually has the same problems, and AWS is just a customer-facing product that you can't actually use internally.

But they're in a situation where they need a compelling application first . You can't get the data without multiple people opening up the application. Color is really not compelling. This is a classic problem I have in my own research at a

This is a fair point, and one I hadn't considered. Bravo! But, getting Twitter doesn't mean Twitter pre-any-users-at-all was worth investing $41m at a possible $80m valuation. It might still not be, as it has no business plan to speak of.
