I wouldn't say that iStuff fills in your "missing productivity suite", more that for most people the productivity suite wasn't needed to begin with. The browsers text box goes a lot farther than people give it credit for (meta using it rig

Follow the money and if enough opt-out then all of those TSA jobs get "lost" and the TSA shrinks (so they go and do something else) and so the drive to keep this airport security theater pork around will decrease and might even kill it to p

I drive and take the train when possible over flying even when it is a little bit more of a hassle and have been doing this more and more over the past few years. Beyond the security theater my door to door time increased so much because o

For those that like GA's I recommend checking out Cellular evolutionary algorithm ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_evolutionary_algorithm ) It is a GA with the addition that you can only mate with those around you. This tweak sig

Very few platformers can pull off "hard" well because it can easily become re-playing the same 1/2 of a level for extended periods of time. This will result in users putting the game down, not telling their friends about it and game making

Watching the (30 second?) trailer I saw a lot of the same stuff repeated which typically doesn't equate to much fun. With the hype of more levels than you could ever play seeing the same thing over and over in a trailer made me cringe. Wi

A few years ago there was a mario competition to generate levels. When the contest was over I downloaded the entries and tried out some of them. Quickly I found that while they had successfully generated a lot of levels the levels were no

It is easy for anyone to prove gold is real with an acid test. And you don't go to the grocery store with $20K of gold be it coins or chips. At most you would be carrying around gold rings which are small, something everyone has handled a

From a search perspective I might click on car A's add first, but then I would click on B's ad before contacting A. It would only take one little thing to make the difference. Nicer car color? Built in navteq navigation with a good scr

I wonder if they are able to determine in any way the "extras" on a car. A bare base model car doesn't really compare to the same car with every extra tacked on especially if that extra upgrades the engine. Paying 2K for what was original

Neat little tool. For add's though probably 99% of the time I use 'git add -p' Not only do I not have to type the file names, but I get a quick little final code review to boot which seems win all around.

Board games are at an interesting cross. On the one hand they don't usually require tight tolerances for their parts so 3D printers seem a perfect fit for printing board games. On the other hand you have board games moving to the digital

How about creating a radio device that works over the cell network? The cost of data on the cell network would be covered by "radio" advertisements. But the device would of course have extensive caching of audio on the device. Now you hav

I tossed together git-achievements one weekend for fun ( https://github.com/icefox/git-achievements ) and it has taken off as the most popular project I have ever made with hundreds of forks and watchers. There is something about Achieve

Don't forget we are at the very beginning of tablets. With book devices already under $99 pretty soon you can buy "digital books" for the cost of a paperback book today and have a dozen of them in your house and lend them out all you want.

What I have really been waiting for is someone to make monitors with no bezel using Gorilla Glass so tiling would be better.

The thing is question three is about dates and question three B is about how happy you are so the two are suppose to be related. If it was question three and question four maybe, but not when they put the two questions together.

I must personally say thank you for starting those puzzles. Over the years I have implemented many of them as fun weekend projects, but one puzzle in particular stuck with me: Sling Blade Runner. On and off the last ~four years I have wor

For me it was less a way to have discussions and more about the fun of collecting every person you ever knew, but now that you have "collected them all" I have stopped using it.

It would be interesting if Microsoft "changed the game". Renamed it to the xPhone and made it the best portable gaming device to the point of trying to make it the replacement for the xbox 360. Give it some sort of reason to exist, some r

Played with the WP7 for an hour when we got it in the office. You are spot on about it being not that much better. It was nice and all, but at the end of the hour I was very much "meh" and had no reason to actually use it let alone tell s

Anyone know of where there is some actual data? What has the price per sq inch of LCD been for the last decade or something? (on the same note it would be interesting to extrapolate it to see when lcd's will suddenly be _really_ cheap lik

While the "small-claims flash mob" is interesting, I have a problem with the original problem. Buying a car isn't a small purchase (for most people) so you would think they would have done some small amount of research or just read the sti
