Well, Google is a business and I'm sure that their decision to stockpile patents is a business one. I doubt that Google can reform the law by itself - it will be against every major software-producing entity.

It seems to be focused on creating a few applications on its own, which are different somehow. The GNOME project seems to have the goal of usability (easiness etc.) but also has pretty clear criteria (etc. the dictionary doesn't have bookma

Yes, the student is the only one suffering. Going to school and not learning anything is pointless and the diploma by itself is worthless in the long run. Unless it turns into a complete party place, the university will do just fine and emp

"You don't even know what the thing is yet." Sorry for the Social Network quote, I didn't like the movie, but I kept thinking about this line. Look at the success of 4chan or IRC channels or Usenet groups or twitter (140 messages) or Facebo

Well, crystal radios are electrically passive but usually the power was low and thus you couldn't produce enough "volume". So people interestingly built pneumatic amplifiers (the principles are equivalent to electric amplifiers, I have stud

WOW, exactly what I wanted. I have studied some programming in uni and have done some simple programs in C and Matlab, I've done HTML in school on my own, and I have read plenty of articles about some programming ideas. tl;dr - I know some

Well its practically an advertisement for Switch Lightning. (I sense PRs at work). There are LED bulbs in the market already and they are not new, but the legislation limiting incandescent lightning is new.

But they do exist. You can already buy them. They are not cheap but they are getting cheaper. LEDs are nothing new. And they have have replaced other types of indicator lights decades ago (the lights on older computers had incandescent lamp

A story from our native Bulgaria: the Bulgarian state nearly went bankrupt in 78 as a result of stupid state-planned 'investment'. The debts which were repaid with the strategic gold reserve which were basically the savings tucked away for

Well, does it have unwavering strategic, political, cultural, ideological interest to continue the relationship, whatever the government? In contrast the surrounding allies always warn that the relationship or balance of power may change if

Well, zero was perhaps a hyperbole. Does the US have close economic/military relationships with Israel-bashing Arab countries? It does. Although they are not the best possible alliances (not ideological similarity), they are convenient. So

The US treats Israel like an intelligence/military base in the Middle East. Why wouldn't you support your soldiers? A bonus is that Israel is still a sovereign nation and if it for example bombs Syrian nuclear reactors, the United States ha

From my not-still-incomplete engineering education I came to understand that "solar panels" are huge photodiodes. Doesn't sound exiting at all. I get to the point of having a PhD like you, I guess nothing will excite me on the mass media wh
