This looks like a good simple way of doing the popular refocusing. Looking at the pictures I think they are doing much less processing than the similar google app: Instead of a true gaussian blur in the other objects I think they just align

There is always a balance. At some point these types of algorithms will probably be regulated, and that will take some of the pressure off of both owners and manufacturers. Given the choice I would usually pick me over you, but I would also

I am very happy with the timemachine backup on my mac, but I have been looking for a good offsite backup solution so that I can trade storage with my family in case something happens to my house. This might finally be the right option. BT S

Be safe: My wife and I have been to SF twice. The first time a bar fight spilled out into the street while we were walking to church at 9am on Sunday morning . One of the guys pulled a knife, but someone talked him down before there was an

I imagined that it would all be done through remote debugging with the file accessed over dropbox, but I guess it makes sense that you would have to do it locally.

I went to a talk from a NASA engineer at my school once, and the thing that struck the me the most is the relative speed of objects in space. They design the space station to shield against small objects traveling at 20km/sec . In Gra

The biggest thing I see missing is debugging. I am not sure how much development I can do with out my NSLog statements. It shouldn't be hard to add writing the debugging statements to a text file for your to check on the iPad.

Does anyone know why the defensive patents were eliminated? If Amazon is being honest with the goal of this then that would have been perfect.

Free for the computer and android but $24.99 for iOS? That seems like a strange price scheme.

My only guess is that they are limited by the transmission lines. Upstate NY has a lot of hydro and wind power, and actually produces more energy than it can export on a lot of days. The obvious answer is to build more high voltage transmis

If you would like to learn to do some home repair work volunteering can be a good way to start. Organizations like Habitat For Humanity basically offer you some training in exchange for your labor. I hung drywall in NY with habitat and did

The best explanation of the LHC black hole issue I have ever seen was a The Daily Show interview which pegged the odds at 50/50: Either it will. Or it won't. The best part is around 3:00 in. http://thedailyshow.cc.com&#

I don't understand the concerns about theft and ethical issues about profiting from this. The license on GitHub says I am welcome to copy the source, modify it, and sell copies. Maybe I take that too literally, but if you see a popular

If you are experiencing a slow connection and packet loss, what is the best tool for identifying the issue? There must be a good way to find out where the problem is.

I would be interested in something like this in my area. Has anyone heard of other examples, like the North East US for example?

You can see the example code and run it on the simulator without paying for the developer program. I think there is also still a student program that lets students run code on hardware for free, but yes, you need to pay for the developer pr

Right, Kickstarter is more of a method of advertising than anything else at this point.

IR Spectroscopy is purely a pattern matching game. All it will ever do is compare a spectrum to a known one. The raw information would be useful to very few people outside of a lab environment. That said, I will probably recommend that my

It sounds like the open source version is the trial version. That is probably sufficient.

I like https://www.dwolla.com There is a big barrier to getting people to sign up, but a $1 transaction has NO FEE. I used it for paying a contractor instead of paypal or a check and for that it cost $.25 for a payment of $5k.

Do you have a link to your results? I get: http://who.is/whois/google.com and I see a similar result from GoDaddy's whois service.

I will be watching this closely, and I am going to start writing to my state representatives in case the court sides in the dealers' favor. This law should be clarified or repealed.

If you don't like people driving and talking on their cell phones while driving near you then there is on easy solution. It is hard to find many good tech jobs near the radio observatory though, so this option might not be good for the

I spend a lot of time debating program speed (mostly C vs MATLAB), but the problem is that the programming and compile time usually makes more of a difference than people consider. If my C is 1000x faster and saves me 60 seconds every time
