It reminds me of the Pentagon, which has the same sort of stuff along with food vendors. It was pretty busy at lunch time and seemed to be a popular place to have a walk and talk meeting.

Is anyone able to slow this down? I realize they wanted an explosion effect but it goes too fast for me.

I agree, one would assume an economist would have this basic understanding of supply and demand.

Bill said it was CR-48 specific, not Chromium OS specific. Huge hint. I wonder if anyone has analyzed the circuit boards for a tiny artwork of some sort?

The behavior is standardized to a degree that it works for Windows, but according to your article Windows does its own poking around for the reset. It would be nice if there was one established protocol for resets rather than any poking ar

I can verify the vacation home market with an anecdote: my family has rented a few vacation homes with vrbo and the experience has been great.

In case you don't read to the end, more cities can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/4671594023/in/photost... Other American cities that I looked at include DC and Boston.

They probably just figured it was worth a shot to get some money, ethics be damned.

Why is it one or the other? Can't they just be different views for the same model (assuming the app doesn't need access to lower-level functionality)?

I thought it was a cool demo. This passed through my mind while watching it: It's strange to me how the 2d images in the 3d info popout immediately looked off. A 3d interface seems to warrant a 3d image.

#3: I've messed around with .NET WebMethods a bit. They allow me to go completely around the rigidness of ASP when I need to and they can stay inside the same C# backing code for the page.

Amen to that.

The data is interesting, but it's unfortunate that the article doesn't specifically mention any of the 'pains' that the title is referring to.

I'm surprised that more people haven't mentioned javascript as a new language to get into. Becoming an expert at it looks like it could become extremely valuable very quickly, simply because it's everywhere on the web now. It doesn't matt

Arguably, Gates and Winfrey have built significant companies and become very powerful people. However, I see no good reason to ever listen to McCarthy.

LivingSocial just did a similar $1 sale today in DC to launch their new Instant Deals, which are location based paid coupons. They advertised on the front page of the free commuter newspaper, the radio, even had people walking around China

What a magnificent story. It's amazing to me how he he and the spacecraft are so connected. The radios go off, he works on other projects, until one day they are reunited as both reach the ends of their journey, transitioning to whatever

As someone who has read about node but never actually looked at any demo code, this was a pretty good example. Now I understand what all the fuss is about!

I see what you're saying, but speed traps definitely cause significant bottlenecks in the DC area, probably because of rubbernecking and braking (or the fact that everyone is speeding).

Why not use late model computers or DVD players with some sort of digital input to control playback without mechanical input? It's not the player that's limited by the law, right?

The article points it out, but the text comes in from different directions depending on whether you're clicking on the planet or scrolling to it from the side. Nice touch.

I was aware of crowdsourcing design, but I like how the article outlined each step of their process. Looking forward to the next one about figuring out the message to convey with a site's design.

It's a complicated issue. I think the reason people donate is based on this logic: An old t-shirt here is essentially worthless. We see somewhere that a demand exists for a worthless item (to us), so we give it to them because they are mu

Interestingly enough, I think Verizon is paying Lucasfilm trademark rights for Droid; they don't actually own it. Not being pedantic, I just think it's interesting.

Would Bing then get called out by Google for the inevitable 'anticompetitive' lowering of Google's Bing search rankings?

I agree. It simplifies message so much that it's hard to take it seriously.

Some say NoSQL = "Not Only SQL", implying that there are alternatives to purely relational DB's. I think this definition fits better than the implied purely unrelational DB.
