It's not enough to earn money. Technology markets are a winner takes all market, so you have to make enough money to be the winner.

You raise an interesting issue. But is there enough money in large displays? Let's look at use cases, and focus on the average person(assuming that the gamer market is too small to justify opening a top manufacturing line for large di

According to cisco design guidelines[1] , 150 msec is acceptable network latency(not including video encoding/decoding). Also [2] talks about 300 msec total latency about the limits for remote surgeries. Even if we take 150 as our guid

There are technologies today , for example teleconference rooms, which probably capture most verbal and non-verbal feedbackin meetings, to the points participants claim it's like being there. It would be interesting to do an experiment

For beginners, what about rad tools like Microsoft lightswitch or alpha everywhere/five or appcubator which offer much lighter learning curves and faster development, although for limited types of projects?

In most cases I'll agree with you, money controls the us government. In this case thought, the nsa might have secret knowledge on politicians, it's job might be critical to national security or at least seem so, and I bet there&#

Why does disruption(1) seem not to work in healtcare: 1. Disruption means offering something with less quality(but good enough). People are less willing to make those compromises in health care. 2. Industry players(big businesses, doctors

Say you set up you're "small" amazon. How can you compete with "big" amazon? They have faster delivery times - due to local warehouses. They have wider selection, better prices, better brand - due to their size. I d

Let's look at a counter example : amazon. Is it using technology to help online sellers ? or is it using technology to kill retail businesses ? It may well be that the end goal of amazon is to own and automate all retail, and even if i

Alan, Is it OK for government only to have the means to do targeted surveillance while dragnet surveillance is not possible? It seems technically possible(probably, that's where blackberry is at. There are a few technical means that mi

For 2, the apps have no reason to see a fingerprint hash, only an authenticated identity.

I don't think they compromised everything. From reading the last exposures it seems that they can wiretap Blackberry emails on a targeted basis, not on a dragnet basic(please tell if i'm wrong here). But since we don't know i

This can always be the job by someone in the company cooperating with NSA , without apple knowing. And i think government can grant immunity to lies. Hasn't many people lied to congress/citizens in the recent weeks ?

Even after the device is out it would be very hard(if not impossible) to verify it doesn't send fingerprint or hash of fingerprint online. There's plenty of places they can hide this.

Not an expert, but: Currently formal verification is complicated, expensive, and can only be used for verifying small amounts of code. And if you look at the places where it's highly valuable , i.e. security,hardware design and critica
