does anyone know what those glasses they show at the bottom are for? And that strange looking charging station thingy? Also, the monitor, by itself was $10k back in the day: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/New+Ultra-Wide+Format+Monitor+...

The interesting thing this article seems to suggest is that languages and speaking styles naturally seems to self-correct to provide the same amount of information, i.e, as density goes down, speed goes up- the ratio is essentially always t

slightly off-topic, but why does the quoted press release refer to real time? "...advanced visual and sound effects to give the people coming in the park a real-time feel of things". No idea what that could mean.

I wonder how much these figures are skewed by hiring practices at google, et. al, where they tend to outsource a lot of non-tech jobs.... are all those amazon people who pack boxes counted as employees? Maybe some of those figures would be

I think I see where you're going, but I disagree. To me, link #2 is superior even if I just want pie voyeurism. (mainly, it has instructional pictures) I would click on #2 every time. However, if #2 is buried on the 3rd page of results like

He says consumers generally won't notice the difference in speed between AT&T's HSPA-plus and upcoming LTE networks, so it makes sense to call both 4G ...the carrier will speed up the LTE network build out in 2012 and 2013. basically,

whoa. this blog already has 36 pages since 3rd of december... is it wrong that I think this is racist only because the admin isn't asian? It's not offensive, but somewhere right below that line.....

Given that this is a document for the swiss division of ubs, I'm not really too surprised. If hiring is any indication, I know that in France (not 100% sure specifically about Switzerland) it's pretty much required to submit a photo of you

they built their system in 1976, and the article seems to suggest it's still running the same codebase?! Can anyone comment on what it might be written in, and why their infrastructure seems to hold up so well to such high traffic spikes?

Apple also makes really great hardware, and (most of the time) utterly wretched software- see itunes, iphoto, etc.... Not sure how this would help either company. Apple doesn't need any help getting really great hardware made. If anything,

idk, I think this article just makes me realize how little a million dollars buys now-a-days. I think the author is setting the bar way too low; There's certainly a psychological appeal to having a specific amount of money with 6 zeros at t

ha. well, I was mostly joking, but the usefulness of this kind of tele-presence, haptic feedback system, whatever you call it- is going to be determined by how accurate they can make it. One of the first revenue generating applications th

I do this sometimes too, which is usually when google instant works for me, like when I've visited a page a bunch of times, but I can't be bothered to bookmark it or save the search in some other way, and I know it will come up easily in th

I guess I'm in the minority, but I totally agree w/ the OP. I think instant works for me about half the time, the other half it's just confusing and messy. I'm hoping that future iterations of instant can bring some polish to the UX, becaus

I agree. This guy is trying to apply an abstract principal to something that in reality doesn't really make any sense. However, I don't think they have a blanket suspicion of everyone. It's pretty clear to me that people like the border pat

I have to disagree, I think google street view has some really big usability issues, and that anything that helps you navigate the "bubble" data set more easily is a good thing. It adds a lot. I feel like I'm constantly trying to use street

ugh. I really can't help but cringe whenever anyone tries to throw their hat into the ring and take on this problem, even if they have an inside take. CS education also focuses a lot of effort on puzzles and very abstract concepts when pra
