It depends i think. Let's say you develop mobile games for a living and then the unemployment rate rises to 20-30%. The economy collapses, and nobody buys games. Not the best place to be while paying the mortgage. Ironically , if you're a p

I use opera mobile, downloaded a day ago. The address bar is hidden when you use scroll down, and i don't see any big text on page load. And regarding readability:i think opera is the best by far - because it has great reflow on zoom.

I think the real challenge for a kickstarter would be to offer attractive fpga development route. Currently xilinx prices their fpga-c dev tool at around $5K. My guess is that's the real limit , not the price of the zedboard.

by ippisl 13y ago
Chuck, have you verified that the price is $15? because i heard it's mostly marketing and the real price is much higher.

Technology can be a huge help in solving social problems. For example , the pill has caused the biggest impact on the goal for woman equality, by far.

I think IBM watson is showing us that it's possible to build a great search engine with no privacy issues.

One thing that can really improve hangouts is eye contact.This is probably the main difference between video conferecing and the more expensive telepresence , which is replacing flights for business meetings. While the eye-contact effect is

I'm talking about integrating two pieces of silicon inside a single package. Of course you can package silicon in different packages, and package them, and assemble them on a pcb.

The big thing is not this phone, it's the chip. The chip(MT6250) is a processor for feature phones which includes 260 mhz arm7 cpu,8Mbyte of ram , dsp,bluetooth,2.5G and All kinds of IO. It can run games on a touchscreen phone. And it cos

I'm dunno. My brother has a single core android, and it works fine.

RyanZAG also mentions an archos phone. Archos is definetly no a "a chinese no name android phone".

I don't know, but i don't think that really matters. google mostly deals the "cheap" stuff, while watson deals with really valuable stuff , so compute cost is is not so important. I think there was a query on quora about this.

I wonder what would be the best strategy for google to monetize such an asset as ibm watson? Surely ads based model is not the best way(since they've already got a large part of the internet ad market and given that only google, ibm and may

In addition to what's the article tells, you can get in china components you just can't get in the u.s. For example , the mt6250 which is 260mhz arm7 microprocessor, with 8MByte ram , with dsp, with cellular modem, with bluetooth and with a

First even Thiel agrees there isn't lack of innovation in computing. Alan Kay asks about big ideas, not about innovation. I'm pretty sure that if you look at research papers you'll find amazing ideas that within a 5/10/30 years time will be

I wonder , when building a HW product what embedded platform people here use for manufacturing ? Arduino/Mbed/plain microcontroller? And if you use arduino , how do you manage the need to release object files (according to the arduino licen
