I think he has done something very important for everyone but really don't know about the smarts involved. In hindsight, just wondering if running around the world is any better than giving yourself up to the local police. Given the me

That is very nice of you. I try to buy things that I actually need and use, so to me the $600 pocket fitting computer is still pretty ridiculous.

What phone do you use? And whats it typically used for?

Tell me one thing you do with a $600 computer that fits in your pocket that you cant do with a $200 computer that fits in your pocket.

I hope they compete on price. $600 phones are ridiculous.

I think there are good odds we will see privacy related whistleblowing happening at US tech giants in the coming years.

Once the tools get built all you need are robots. As Seinfeld says walk into any parking lot these days and all the cars look alike.

And what is the mean and median savings rate?

Students can ask all the questions they want (of Facebook and Goldman Sachs too). At the end of the day the only question that matters is who is going to pay off those little student loans.

Regulators. Its going to happen. And I hope they save everyone a whole lot of time and preempt it.

I think we have passed the point where anyone else can actually build an engine that returns results just matching, forget about surpassing, Google quality. Since we are where we are, might as well move on to phase two and allow people to

I am pretty sure they can't make sense of the data, nor can they afford the sort of talent that might be able to make sense of the data. So they do whats easy...just keep collecting more. It's much more efficient as an employment&

The best way to achieve that noble goal would be to open up their search index (unlimited API access) and build a marketplace around search, just as they have around Android, Youtube and Chrome. Search has a very long way to go and they can

Ah so the NSA has another NSA monitoring it...and then I guess it's turtles all the way down.

Have you forgotten yes we can...this is the guy, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard no less, that accepted the peace prize, while running two wars and with a 'kill list' in his pocket, so don't worry Obama can bala

Good to hear. Sometimes I feel, in the "consume time and divide people" department, the Internet beats TV hands down. Also it is one of those easy roads to take, as it keeps the kids fully occupied. So it's nice to see what y

How much time now gets spent on desktop/laptop/smartphone per day per family member? Just curious if these numbers jump after the TV goes.

You don't have to think of it as a motivator or something that makes you feel minuscule. Given the time people are spending on the internet these days, exposed to things no other generation was, much of this happens subconsciously.

by Sven7 13y ago
Well said. All I'll add is, thanks to the internet, there is much more comparing going on. An unhealthy amount imho. This is a great motivator for some people. For others not so much. One needs to figure out where one falls in the spec

Wondering about the Web Speech API and speech input...Chrome does a great job, but doesn't seem to allow hooking up to 3rd party recognizers like Nuance or even something local. Anyone know how Mozilla is going to handle this? Are they

I trust Google much more than any other monopoly out there. Just contrast their behavior, with other companies sitting on mountains of cash. They don't need to do a lot of the things they do. Yet they do it. That's a big positive.

> It is unnatural The irony is, its very much a natural phenomenon i.e. seen in nature. In nature hierarchies are the norm.

While it is disappointing and frustrating to watch what the American government has been upto these past few years, I would still say the US is, and shall remain for years to come in a league above the country's you mention. There is a

"Pinpoint precision" gives the governments of the world too much credit. Reacting to developments on the fly is not exactly a strength. There was a (Reuters?) article yesterday that said the Ambassador of Ecuador arrived at the ai

Give me a break. You think anyone is going to care next week when the attention of the media will shift, as it always does, to whatever else is most eyeball baiting, elsewhere in the world. The baseline strategy has been more or less the sa

Take a look at state government employees most of whom are middle class. A major portion of this labor force is involved in managing data. Rough guess ~30000 * 50 states=1500000. Pretty sure its a much bigger number. Facebook can manage the
