Turn-by-turn directions alone for pedestrians, cyclists and motor bikes is probably enough to make a successful product. Google Now with glass could also be pretty amazing, and since you always have the sound on it could actually make push

Surely if you created a physics virtual machine and loaded an image with all of the atoms and electrons in place.. you'd simulate the brain. I imagine it would take a lot of computational power, but it's not 'never' Unless we're talking abo

How about this one, whenever I have to buy anything in USD (which is a lot, I only have AUD), I have the privilege of paying 4% more than the listed price due to currency exchange spread. Bitcoin would give me a 4% discount on everything, e

I think the article confuses physical 'movement', with maneuvering, which in the context of maneuver warfare is more about adapting your strategy to both hit the enemy's critical vulnerabilities (again not just physical, we're talking media

All they're promising to do is start a dialogue around the issues their citizens feel most strongly about. It sounds like a good use of technology, and an excellent strategy to stay connected to the people who ultimately decide whether you

No matter how good the benefits, if I'm not doing something meaningful I'm gone "20% time" could go along way toward solving this at Google though

I agree that it's strategic, but I think Google's motive is to set a minimum standard, a catalyst to make the other service providers fall in line. Ie, don't collude to fatten your profits or Google Fibre is going to overtake you. I think i

I think learning to tell stories is a huge leap forward. I used to have no idea about this, but over time have noticed that effective leaders can rewrite history or light up the path through the future with an effective story. (On a side no

I think the difference is that they're making a direct profit from copying, rather than just sharing knowledge.

If you knew just how understaffed they were compared to even just a few years ago. The money left print media with the classifieds and they can't afford to pay for journalism (which was always a cost center) any more, everyone is doing abou

That might be how it works in the US, but why roll over and accept that when literally the rest of the world doesn't. In Australia, subsidised androids on 2 year plans aren't locked at all, and for iPhone its as simple as ringing the carrie

My (admittedly limited) knowledge of the cars is that they 'cheat' a lot, in that they don't just look at sensors to make decisions rather they look at a map of data to determine ie approach this corner at maximum 40mph, pot holes on left s

Still, I can't help but feel that maybe Google have the final piece of the puzzle. We've had computers and sensors powerful enough for decades, only Google have all of that maps data, polished again and again by android users using maps (an

Definitely. Anyone coming to me with an idea I say that's great, just follow the lean principles to develop a non-technical MVP, and I'm in. Haven't had anyone come back with a proven MVP yet : P

The problem is that every project claims to be buying off the shelf software with some 'minor tweaks'. If it truly is off the shelf, and you're guaranteed that it will be your last sale because after that your work will be in the public dom

Fair enough, but I don't see how the last bit about gun nuts has anything to do with the article. A politician lost popular support, and the media let us hear about all the details. The system worked today (assuming her career really is ove

I find sliders great for e-commerce. A slider of highlighted products/specials feels a bit like window shopping. Bonus points for those dots that show you what slide you're on and let you jump around, and a link to the product page from the

Great advice, you're right that there's a chance that he could lose the entire company over this. There's a chance he can't fire him, in which case he should probably contain him in a room doing menial tasks and receiving written warnings w

Minor correction on the article, it's been said that they actually seldom wore all black, as that would make you particularly conspicuous. It's more likely they wore an appropriate costume that would allow them to 'hide in plain site' if n

They do also get the recognition from teaching the class. Andrew Ng is now universally renowned as a machine learning expert (I imagine the consulting fees he could charge to businesses could be immense). Martin Odersky's excellent class on

The more they know about me, the better Google Now can get (and the less irrelevant ads I'll see). The only real risk of privacy breach is if the US government subpoena the info, but that can happen to any US cloud supplier.

If Google will reverse the decision once IE10 is standards compliant (touch start/end) then go Google you the people's champion. If not, then boo Google, are you becoming the new MS? Time will tell
