Well you should really consider any accupation as the active zone. But very creative use of the Kinect.

Of course if you have xbox you can always voice command it to pause if you really want it to pause when you get up.

What happens to companies like Intellectual Ventures which actualy has a great portfolio but no real products?

The way I think about it is that if the idea is so good then you should rather go implement it. There are many advantages here. First, by implementing you can validate a lot of assumptions you made. Second you got some experience in the ar

Why odd? They got farecast and now they are getting data from kayak to surface in bing travel. Looks more like a consolidation to me. With GOOG buying ITA, they better cover their asses.

Thanks for bashing me for making assumptions and making a lot of assumtions about me.

When they did make a tablet OS 10 years ago, nobody wanted it. They have a lot of things to unlearn. It's gotta take some time.

Agree. It should have been clear when the gave the award to people like Bush and Bernake.

I think it really is an ask. It was just framed so that it is consistent with the union theme that the group is following. Otherwise, what "right" do they have to demand anything from Google? It's not like Google entered into some contract

Agree. What I think they should target is a set of sites that just copy content load their pages with Google Ads and mint money. Those are the ones people more likely to not want to see rather than sites like wikia. In any case this is a bo

I think those limitations are from the way WP7 restricts access to the live camera view. I hope they fix that soon. A lot of cool scenarios can be unlocked if they do.

Loved this quote from the article: "This is the Harvard, so to speak, of entrepreneurship" Says something about YC.

Hope this is how the future of education looks like. Curses like these are too valuable to be locked in the ivory towers of ivy league schools. Kudos to MIT for releasing it and hope many other premier schools follow this lead.

Didn't MSFT try to do this like 5 years ago with the smart watch? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Personal_Objects_Technolo... I remember it was expensive and nobody really wanted it.

Actually there is a minor point that I am trying to make here by using the stock name. As techies we often forget the end goals of a business, by using the stock names I try to remind myself and hopefully others that no matter how cool is s

No point debating if the iPad is a hit or not. Just see their annual report and you'd know that its a big hit. It doesn't matter if you see them on the streets or not. AAPL sells them and its makes them money which means that it is a hit.

The author is not a general representation of people for whom tablet is appealing. Whenever there is large amount of user created content a tablet will run intoi its limitations. But that's by design. A tablet is a consumption device as aga

I am worried about the +identifier though because it is too easy to identify what the real address is. Hotmail apprently allows you to create random email addresses on the fly. That should help you keep your email address private if you wis

There's a good bookm that reiterates the point in the article. Brain Rules. Worth a read. It also depends on how strong your kids are. There is no silver bullet

Biten once twice shy. They have been burnt badly by ignoring internet for a long time even though they were made aware of its importance by numerous memos. GOOG and AAPL won't let them rest on the laurels of IE9.

Well you'd expect such a reply from Paul right? He benefits from the lofty valuations when any of the YC incubated companies get bought. So no surprises here.

The "standards" that you are referring to here that IE does not comply with yet are not really "standards" yet. With the specifications clearly in debate, I don't know why anybody would expect them in the production version of a browser. In

Good to see them catching up with Bing. Bing has been doing this for some time now.

I lost my belief in Sony ever since the rootkit scandal a couple of years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_CD_copy_protection_sca... . They don't know how to to day software. Would always stay away from them.
