They say they only use it for high calibre candidates, who presumably already have the job our could otherwise just tell then to stop being silly

I imagine it'd be pretty amazing for your resume too 'personally backed by Warren Buffet/Steve Wozniak/etc', which alone could also offset the cost of paying dividends for the right investors In the flip side, will VC's start demanding thes

As admirable as this is (they're basically giving employees a free, low hassle premium life insurance plan), I can't help but feel that this is a will calculated way to widen the gap between goog and startups. I imagine employee spouses hav

They should definitely do this for bills also, so you can easily see who has incorporated what into each bill, and how the bill is evolving as it happens

I think ther are some sexy B2B problems, ie problems that can solved with technology rather than business solutions that use a tiny bit of software. Analytics is pretty huge. Companies will pay big dollars for profitable insights into their

Yes, for the love of god yes If HTC (or someone) would make a line of phones that offered vanilla Android, OTA updates within 30 days of google releasing them, and a two year update guarantee, I think they'd find themselves selling a a lot

Surely the answer is to sign distributions (or not) as verified as originating from a domain (eg microsoft.com), then let the user choose which os to boot in the bios (or whatever becomes). Then if you want to run an os from an untrusted do

I wonder if they're optimising for profitability (while aiming to only keep user retention steady), or if this is really what the target users want. I read anywhere that pages in japan are supposed to be chock full, you don't want any white

I really wanted to like nreduce, but the whole experience just came off as buggy for me. They said we'd get info about the meet ups but it never came which resulted in me blowing off a few appointments on tuesday nights twice to be there re

I wonder if it would be possible (in the not so distant future) to simulate an entire human, but 'cache' the results of parts of the simulation. Let the program decide where a certain interaction has been calculated too much and create its

Maybe until it becomes like youtube Having said that though I still trust google more not to abuse their ad showing to the point of degrading the user experience

But at least merchants will have the choice now. In markets where you're operating on a 3% margin whether they're using amex or not can make or break the deal. Giving the consumer the option to pay a little extra or choose another payment m

I can't help but think this is a great opportunity for bitcoin, pay online with bitcoin for a 1-2% discount. Makes more sense than ever

I downloaded the stable build and movement came on Lesson #3 (pretty short lessons too) I agree the audience might be pretty niche, although there are a lot of Java devs out there, and probably a lot of Java devs who want to learn Scala to

I think they're half right, the turnaround time for a decision is too long, but the solution is surely to turn away the obvious patents on day 1 to get them out of the queue and discourage further frivolous applications. The cynic in me say

Exactly, you can't patent 'the cure for cancer' without describing the cure, but somehow you can patent 'swipe to unlock'. If it didn't take serious research and give the reader a decent insight that they wouldn't have had just by reading t

They can just as easily make a version without the camera. I know it defeats some of the point, but it would still be a good way to get notifications, directions, etc

Apple shot first. Google has patents that they can use defensively, I say anything that happens to Apple is fair turn about after the 10.1 You didn't see Google suing Bing over the pagerank algorithm. I'm sure Google has patents relating to

I was actually thinking of buying a Mac for the first time just last week, even after being outraged by the Galaxy Tab 10.1 thing. They have good hardware and it's Linuxy, but thank you Apple for acting sooner with this Nexus rubbish rather

At least with Google they will delete all your data and stop tracking you if requested, unless other companies cough facebook

Exactly, and you don't have to talk to it. It's just a notification, and (hopefully) learns which notifications are most useful for each person

I agree that level of bonus for data entry smells funny. Although, the one exception could be some kind of government or hospital data where it cannot be exported out of the country, and therefore the only option is to pay local wages. Even

If it's an interface you have to override the method. An abstract class you don't, but you can only inherit one anyway.

Aren't most pos systems just a touch screen, sounds like the perfect app to deploy on a tablet. Wastage you get through stock takes, which could be done with a camera (same tablet or a phone), cloud sync so no cradle needed It could integra

If it's true, a notification would have been nice. Or changing the setting back only for people who haven't specifically looked at and increased their privacy settings in the past

I think it's fair enough. Consumers who can't be bothered upgrading are costing Kogan money by frustrating their developers (assuming good dev/designers are now giving preference to jobs that don't require supporting ie7) It may actually be
