This isn't a benefit to the chef himself, just his employer. And with IP restrictions limiting the spread of the product, it may not become very popular and the money made by the restaurant and its partners may be very small relative to th

And youtube serves content in different resolutions (SD vs HD) and formats (flash vs ipod). It's possible his choice of either of these had a negative effect on the quality. It's also possible it all happened during his on conversion on h

I had the same response, but then I thought "wait, I don't do any covert and sketchy surveillance, this doesn't affect me". Can you think of any privacy concerns with this technology?

Do you really expect GMail to provide personal customer service to its ~176m [1] non-paying users? Don't mistake non-paying for no-profit. Those users don't pay cash but they do give google lots of personal data and ad-clicks that makes

The draconian app store policies alone are reason enough for me. I wouldn't try to downplay that. Other limitations Apple puts on their devices come in second. I'm a very technical person. I would be happier having another gadget with Li

That's how it works in my office building. It also kicks off at 7PM on weekdays. It may not be completely off, but you can hear it blowing all day and at 7PM there's a loud THUMP in the vents and no sound after that. Not a problem, our

I thought it sums up the article pretty well. I was expecting much more based on the title. A better title: "Amateur high-level wireless traffic analysis of 21 consenting students during a 45 minute class"

I disagree. There may be plenty of things to complain about with facebook, but I still find it plenty useful to stay in touch with friends, family and acquaintances. We plan events, share photos, keep current with what's happening in each

That's my experience with any recent ATI card in Linux. Flash doesn't have to be involved. High resolution or full-screen video with a quad-core AMD Phenom and 8GB of ram results in dropped frames and tearing. I fixed it by switching back

I understand why it's fun to play with a new (limited) device. I have an ipod touch. But I worry when people rush to buy $500 devices without being able to articulate why they need it. It sounds like good marketing and impulse shopping.
