I hope they write up a post-mortem on the fallout (hopefully it won't be a post-mortem of Twitter). Those things are always extremely interesting with big infrastructure like this.

You can try it in the regular browser, I noticed that the app (the WebView) has poor performance on some tablets. Need to look into that.

He seems to play up the problems with comet-style communication quite a bit. Most of his objections, and it seems the entirety of his 'showdown' is based on using the slowest comet implementations, which do repeated HTTP requests, rather th

There has never been much money in selling news, the value is in controlling public perception, which is unbelievably valuable, and which is why the owners of the largest newspapers and news agencies don't care if they run at razor thin mar

Exactly. I was a lot more impressed by Larry and Sergei's IPO, where they really gave a fat middle finger to the Street. Who gives a fuck about a hoodie. This is just a branding exercise to show how 'real' Mark Zuckerberg is and I would be

I have long been convinced that smart watches are the next huge thing. For my money they can even be a phone, optionally with a detachable bluetooth ear plug/mic. I don't know if they will go full monty and get big fold-out screens and phys

Trying to hack the body like this is the equivalent of fiddling around with some extremely complex code that you have no idea what does (in production, on an infinitely complex system with zero unit test coverage).

The current state of camera based AR is not compelling, primarily due to unimpressive displays (low resolution and small field of vision), but also because of lag as you mentioned. Most solutions are based on Kopin display components which

It's funny, we routinely travel thousands of miles across the earth on jets, yet going ten miles up is like going off the edge of the world.

Not to mention that America electrocutes people to death, which may be slightly cleaner than a stoning but not exactly humanitarian.

I just don't want the "What's hot on Google+" section at the top center of my screen. It is usually some stale Youtube meme that is neither hot nor informative, but takes a few seconds to skip because it looks like any other post in my stre

In that case, just read through every single article in Joel's archive. A real shame he's not making any more of them, too.

As someone who fasts for a full month of the year, I can chime in. It is true that you probably shouldn't do it for the weight loss alone, as you tend to compensate, or over-compensate, once fasting is broken. That said there are many other
