Every time I see things like this, Accelerando is the first thing I think of. Also, if you like that, you'll probably like Life Artificial by David A Eubanks: http://lifeartificial.com/

It's nothing that you wouldn't already find out with Mint or many online bank accounts.

If it's open-sourced, shouldn't everyone be able to (eventually) just toss it up on their own personal Linode VPS and use it for themselves?

I just integrated Filepicker.io with a client site ( http://SetForMarriage.com ), and it works amazingly well. Choosing pictures from Facebook/Dropbox is great for mobile users, and uploading via webcam is awesome for people who don't know

You can do it pretty easily with Automator (comes with OS X) http://www.peachpit.com/blogs/blog.aspx?uk=Mac-Productivity-... I'd recommend changing it to "Get URLs of images linked from these webpages" though, to get the high-res version.

Oh god, I just finished integrating Filepicker.io with a client site and I was thinking "man, it would be great if the button showed an indicator that it was done uploading". I think I'm in love with you guys.

It's very useful for top-level navigation when using the "infinite scrolling" that seems to be so popular these days. It makes it so you don't have to scroll all the way back up when you're 10 pages deep.

Being anti-semicolon in JavaScript is kind of like being anti-parentheses in Lisp. The automatic semicolon insertion is a "feature" to give some leeway to new/sloppy developers, not a real feature that good developers should use.

I like the look of the old icon better, but at a glance it's hard to tell what the app is for. I'd say keep the old icon, but replace the C with a film reel like in the new icon. Then it stands out enough to find it in a folder (because tha

I have hope both that Apple is secretly working on an amazing set of augmented reality glasses and that the patent will be somehow overturned.

What's up with it showing directions to Moscone Center and then when he closes it there is something about Wooster College? I don't wanna call fake, but that's definitely strange… Then later on he asks a question about Wooster College Edit

Funny enough, my porn client called me about that seconds after he saw that video.

I know we've all read about the exciting "external brain" aspects of augmented reality in books like Accelerando, but sheesh guys, we have to start SOMEWHERE. If I have to buy 10 pairs of Google Glass to light a fire under Apple, Qualcomm,

I'm not sure that art has to create beauty. I can understand why a statue of Jesus submerged in piss is art (it makes a statement and is intended to shock and disgust), but flowerpots on pedestals doesn't evoke any emotion aside from disdai

This is the best way to get a "natural" development environment (i.e. as close to production as possible). Also, it's a pain in the ass having to start and stop various apps and remember ports, which is what Pow is great for in the first pl

Isn't that kind of behavior just going to lead to websites ignoring it by default?

This is why it's good to have a lot of tools in your toolbox. Everything has its strengths and weaknesses.

The AGPL licence and requirement for contributor licensing agreements means they can prevent people from making closed-source extensions (like for example if you wanted to tie it into your own internal authentication system), UNLESS you are

Still AGPLed and requires a contributor license agreement before submitting patches? Yeah sorry, but I'm not interested in doing your work for you so you can dual-license it and sell it to companies while I can't make my own proprietary ext

I really like what Dwolla is trying to do, but it's completely useless to me until I can: a) Use a credit card to make instant payments on Dwolla b) Get a Dwolla debit card to make payments online or at stores I know they are trying to get

This is a pretty cool idea, but it could easily go out of control if even one news outlet picks the story up. I'd raise the price by a lot (like $9.99 a question), in order to keep volume reasonable.

Well not useful to you monetarily, but you can still enjoy the product that other people got right. Augmented reality concepts have been around for a long time, and whoever gets it right will become insanely rich. The rest of us will get to

I think it's because back in the day, the mainframe mentality was predominant. Sit at a terminal, make the computer do something, and get the results back. In 1982, nobody thought email would become a mainstream form of communication, and C
