'The Comfort Xpress Hotel in Oslo now allows guests to reserve, check in and check out without ever having to deal with a pesky human.' I love technology as much as the next geek, but there are some places I would really like to deal with

I suspect he defines 'crazy' as being unconventional and different and 'productive' as 'great success'. With those definition, I think he means to say that your chance of success significantly improves if you attempt something unconventiona

How is that different from say, a CC licensed photograph of a car or an iPhone?

I keep hearing this phrase a lot but I'm not really sure I understand what it means. What does 'Social search' encompass? Searching for people by their attributes?

Possibly. I should have been more clear though; I really meant 'study' instead of 'video'. I'm ecstatic because of this: 'The ability to dissect in detail the spatial and temporal localization of key molecular and cellular events during P.

The implications of this video are stunning. This is the closest we have ever been to understanding the invasion process of the parasite at a molecular level. Perhaps this will finally lead to a viable and effective vaccine for Malaria. Thi

On a Mac, you do "Alt+e e" to get the acute accent for "Résumé". To get a grave accent, use "Alt+~ e". "Alt+i e" gives you the circumflex on the e: "ê". Hope that helps anyone looking.

Unfortunately innovation as measured by patents, is measured more easily on the scale of quantity than quality. Today, patents are more like trapdoors -- the more of them you have, the higher the chance that your 'enemy' would fall into on

If I could ask a favor of folks compiling such documents: Please post these to a Wiki. Wiki-like interfaces are far more readable than 'shared' documents. Wikis are also inherently designed for collaboration with complete history (thus auto

Works fine for me on Chrome latest dev channel and Safari 5.0.2 on Mac. That said, I've had issues with Firefox 3.6.x with HTML5 in the past, ranging from outright incompatibility to extremely slow performance. Firefox 4.x supposedly fixes

The abstract of the paper the article quotes is here: http://tinyurl.com/6bgtwu4 [sciencedirect.com link; too long to put here] There's no real mention of any university names. This line caught my eye: "However, attendance at a super-elit

Google's Website Optimizer is simple and free and works nicely. Perhaps that works for you?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was wondering if he remembered that the script would launch PhotoBooth before he opened the lid each time. I expect he'd have just grabbed his MacBook and opened the lid and then remembered that it wo

Pretty neat hack! Were you conscious of the script each time you opened the lid? I imagine I would forget about it after the first week.

Do you have any examples of violations of Fitts law in OS X that weren't present in OS9?

That's pretty interesting. I wonder why this approach was never re-done with iPhone and MobileMe (Contact sync and Calendaring have big applications here). Perhaps there are important unsolved problems I'm overlooking.

by gnok 16y ago
I'd much prefer a unified view instead of sync. No connection? No problem, show me what I have in my local copy. Admittedly, there's no redundancy with unified views.

The second "key" is a developer's proficiency with design. I am a developer and I know little to nothing about design. This is a major distraction since I spend a disproportionate amount of time getting a barely passable design. Would anyon

"Adam looks more male and industrial than other softer tablets out there" Is that really a "key hardware feature"? Why would you use such an overtly sexist and insulting statement to define your product?

It isn't always 'plain and simple' to move to a different ISP. Except for very few parts of the country, most users do not have a choice of ISPs.

An app can grab the unique UUID for each device. I believe their restriction is 7 unique devices.

Thanks much! For me (a hobbyist looking to be an entrepreneur), your response was spot on.

Hmm. That's interesting. I can think of many products that failed essentially because no one heard of them and not because they were too expensive. I guess I didn't think too much before applying this analogy to startups. Could you cite som

Agreed. They didn't seem to have issues finding investments or visibility. If this is one of those "other issues" cases, there's lots to learn from here.

I suspect one really good choice would have been Steve Jobs. 2010 was the year that tablets really took off. 2010 was also the year Apple's market capital exceeded Microsoft's. Perhaps next year, if Apple crosses Exxon Mobil's market cap? (
