Yeah; I experience a sense of perspective, but not a sense of depth. It would be interesting if this effect was combined with the wiggle 3d effect.

The concept could be adapted for a more productive proof-of-work currency like PrimeCoin[1]. I wonder why PrimeCoin and others don't get more exposure. [1] : http://primecoin.io/

Evolution is on his side. We often have a sweet tooth, but rarely an Arsenic tooth. That said, I do believe sugars should be consumed in moderation.

Although the conclusion of this video might be right (the engagement from users who like your page is not high), I don't agree with the premise that click farms are only present in developing nations. Moreover, an experiment with just

Mt. Gox is an exchange. Wouldn't it be simpler for them to reduce the exchange rate of BTC by manipulating their DB instead of manipulating the market?

Dell support and policies are utterly broken. I had a Dell Vostro which worked fine except at one time it started emitting fumes when running a CPU intensive task. I was denied warranty because I was running Linux! Since then I have vowed n

Google could just add a clause in their manufacturer MOU and kill fragmentation easily. Moving the functionality into apps is an unnecessary extreme.

I don't get the "can't" part. Surely you can load it as an image or iframe?

Chromium allows you to specify the proxy on the command line: chromium-browser --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:<port>" FoxyProxy is good too; but... yet-another-third-party.

If something is very cheap and provided by a company focused on advertisements based on user data, I am going to be skeptical. What's in it for Google?

With the author's code you can define a print() function inside each temperature class, so that there is no mixup of units during printing. Or let the class supply its suffix instead of hardcoding it in an external print() function. It

This is elegantly solved with immutable data types. The squash method of an Ellipse can be defined to return an Ellipse (a new instance, the original is never modified in place). This will work fine even when Circle inherits from Ellipse.

But this solution doesn't solve the original problem described in the article. With your API, it is easy for a programmer to use a temperature in Celcius as a temperature in Kelvins and the type system can't catch it.

I like OSM and have also contributed to it. However, I would be wary of using OSM for navigation. It's very easy for someone to mis-edit (accidentally or maliciously). Also, it is difficult to revert a mis-edit because, unlike Wikipedi

I can understand your frustration. I am in a country from which you couldn't sell for a long time (but now can). The thing that irked me was, when I signed up for an Android Market developer account there was no indication given to me

I would like to see a similar site for kids' apps/games. If tricky ads and IAP are bad, they are doubly bad when kids play into such tactics. Also, these sites need to have a panel of people that rate the apps/games. A sing

It would have been more helpful if that chart didn't mix the units of time.

In the school mentioned in the article, there was a significant decrease in bullying. But we don't know absolute figures before and after (understandably, that is difficult to measure). Two thoughts: 1. Perhaps the effect of loosenin

You misunderstand. It is perfectly fine to question the use of a particular language for a particular task. It need not be meant as an attack on the language itself. That said, this project seems to use C to make CPUID calls with inline ass

Oh whoa, I didn't know that the eye had to refocus to watch the screen! I thought it was more like a HUD and assumed that Google had mastered that part of the system (and was probably the major innovation behind Glass). Are there compe

Would a version of Glass sans camera be more acceptable? Less voyeurism & less surveillance. I haven't used one so not sure how much of its functionality needs the camera. As a user I might miss facial recognition, OCR, etc. One mi

I would say the the catch phrase in your argument is "best friend". If the person you were describing wasn't your best friend, you might automatically focus more on the physical aspects, since you wouldn't know the intim

These ideas sound fine on paper, but for first time visitors (on a warmed up browser), server push didn't show any improvements to page load times in my benchmarks. My question is why enable server push at all? I am no longer with the
