This is amazing, and not only as a demo of the API. I was waiting for a uniform raw audio standard to be implemented by all browsers, but after this I'm motivated to start playing around now. There are so many interesting possibilities for

I cannot even begin to conceive the kind of confusion that has legitimized the "species over the individual" narrative. Just because something is natural doesn't mean that it's good. If you consider it "hopelessly egocentric" to think of de

Yes, Google wants to make more money. No question about it. But why are you so eager to reject any other possible motivation just because profit-making is involved? There is satisfaction in making the world a better place; why wouldn't Se

This is wrong. Algorithmic trading can be fully automatic as well. It just doesn't need to operate on short time windows as HFT does.

First of all, fuzzy search is no biggie for Google. Google Search Instant works great, and I can't see any reason why the Instant technology wouldn't work just as well for Maps--which leads me to believe that they have a reason for not rele

Speaking of self-reflection: a quick look at your profile revealed that you're working at an e-commence company and previously worked at an advertising solutions company. Do you consider those things less superficial than video games? Hones

College students signed up, found nothing of interest and didn't bother to visit again. I'm fairly certain that G+ has failed, but I can't say I didn't expect it: Circles, its main selling point, is a gimmick that no normal user would bothe

Oh come on. Media Center all over again. Nobody's going to use this on a desktop computer after the first boot-up. I do like the tiling system implementation though.

Why is this so inspiring? I'm not trying to put down his career, I just don't see why his selflessness is something to be admired. Is it because it's not something you would choose? Does that fact alone make that lifestyle profound?
