Google TV broke my heart. I try not to set high hopes for technology ... I made a mistake with Google TV. If they had released an app store from the get-go, maybe that could have saved it. The crappy controllers, the fact that many content

Apart from the timelines, my impression is that implementing fountain codes has some IP issues. Also, there is some code complexity in getting them implemented correctly (as hard to get right as paxos). Anyone know a game that used these? A

The title of the post is also misleading. It suggests the tenure of the person at the startup was 125 days (i.e. person moved on to something else). It should be "First 125 days ..." to accurately reflect the content.

I don't have any startup cred but I do fun personal projects. Here's my take ... I used to code web apps in Python. Started playing with PHP about a year ago and enjoyed it. I had a hard time figuring out the right framework to use. There's

Heh ... I wonder why they didn't multiply by 7 (rather than 11)? The frequency counts would have been the same as rolling two dice. Too obvious perhaps? Or maybe that would have attracted the wrong sort of developers :-p

I'm curious if people have done the math on Govt jobs ... especially with respect to pensions? Whenever I've looked into it, I've felt some disbelief. Many govt employees in the US and Canada have defined benefit pension plans ... I sometim

From the demos shown on Channel 9, it seems the SDK comes with skeletal tracking. This would be big!! Edit: I just looked at the Skeletal viewer sample. Looks like they do have skeleton tracking in the SDK. Woot! Edit 2: They also have soun

The age and gender ratios in the article is interesting information. It is impressive that Facebook has managed to achieve a 33% female staff ratio. While this is still not 50-50, it is a very healthy step. The payscale seems comically non-
