I'm glad Posner and a few other justices seem to have an interest in discrediting frivolous patent cases but can they do anything other than point a dirty finger at corporations for abusing the patent system and dismiss their cases with pre

The article completely fails to recognize the value of the acquisition of technology, the elimination of competition and any number of other factors that account for the valuation of a business. If a successful company with massive earning

Extending your vocabulary is nothing like learning a new language. A text based interface is improved by choosing words and symbols that better represent a command with relative brevity and simplicity. The concensus seems to be that commonl

I like Spotify and find it infinitely more useful for music discovery than Napster ever was. Sure it would be nice if they had a more comprehensive catalog but finding complete high quality recordings on Napster was always impossible. I dug

The samples in the article don't do a very good job of demoing the technology. You can download an mp3 of the talk: http://msrvideo.vo.msecnd.net/rmcvideos/160725/dl/160725.mp3 forward to 19:25 for a demo of english and mandarin the full

Yeah, I've had this feature disabled since it launched and google still seems to return "personalized" search results. If you don't want google to track your behavior, you probably shouldn't be logged into google in the first place.

the article focuses on tonality so I didn't even think to mention rhythm but you're right, rhythm does have a frequency equivalent which is not always on a different abstraction scale. 32nd notes in music played at 120bpm have an audible fr

This article would probably never be used by anyone as reference for signal analysis but it does offer a good overview of western harmonic tonality. I do want to make one correction: "Did I say music was based on notes? That's not true. Rea

How does Disconnect compare with Chromeblock? I find it kind of amusing that facebook doesn't display integrated comments at all if you block their cookies. Not to worry, TechCrunch w/out comments ≈ TechCrunch with comments.
