You might not see the value, but someone else will. Value is always determined by the market.

I hadn't looked at it from this perspective, thank you for the enlightenment. I'm just too impatient. What irks me is that the IETF keeps banging away at protocols to solve issues like the transition from PSTN to IP (e.g. ENUM), or IM inter

If this had happened for email, we would have had to deal with a myriad of different clients, servers and 'interworking' gateways. I really don't understand why the likes of Google, Apple, Microsoft and the telcos can't agree on a standard.

In light of interoperability, could you please address the Google rationale for going with XMPP rather then SIP, as there is considerable support for SIP in existence, e.g. IMS on 4G networks, VoIP providers, PSTN gateways, Skype Connect, e

Very nice, thank you Google. Glancing over the API docs, I'm not clear what will be used for signaling. It appears to be based on XMPP/Jingle, am I right? What about SIP?

The question that pops in to my mind is, how could we model a human brain, while we still have no clear idea how it works? There are many many unknown genes and pathways involved in brain development and function. So without knowing these d

Agreed, I was quite happy to see Apple use the most current IETF standards, alas with some secret sauce (the missing 1%). However, the fact that FaceTime only works through Apple's SIP and NAT traversal infrastructure (assumed, since they s

Bit of a history here, but SIP had been around for a couple of years when Google Talk was released. I spoke to Chris Sacca, who was part of the Google Talk team (if I'm not mistaken) at Startup School a couple of years ago, and he told me t

Anyone know how Google Talk's video chat works compared to Apple's FaceTime? Google: Jingle (created at Google), an extension of Jabber/XMPP for signaling, RTP for media, H.264 video, GIPS (acquired by Google) audio Apple: SIP/STUN/TURN/B

It's typical for the other side to open negotiations with crummy conditions, not different from what happens millions of times a day in bazars all over the world. I would venture a guess, that the potential buyer is aware of your inexperien

We're talking about the same molecule that serves as an excitatory neurotransmitter in your brain. It turns out that if you eat a lot of it, it's possible to get a headache (other people claim other ailments). Not much is known about the

All of the examples are companies built on a lot of know how and technology, surely covered by thousands of patents. So how are those not valuable ideas?

I generally agree, since otherwise having a patent system would not make sense. Getting a patent, however, requires reduction to practice.

Considering its complexity, the system is incredibly deterministic. Small perturbations can wreak havoc, and have been fingered for so many disorders. Just because the etiology of a disorder hasn't yet been determined does not mean it won't
