Promotional videos look impressive. The demo, thought, not so much: gesturing seemed awkward, clicking in the air is not an interface. I guess this could easily be improved using haptic feedback. Of course, the naysayer in me is just thinki

With the X220, you can get a beefy i7 full of ram quite cheap on ebay. Not as happy as with the X60, but the upgrade was worth it.

I don't think time spent and performance are good metrics on the quality of the result, not meaning the output look but the quality of the work itself. Anyone that has spent some time on SQA knows that. For the study they used a predef

And there goes the whole entertainment industry + advertisement industry debate. Channels do not put adverts to sustain their content, they put content to sustain their adverts.

I guess the only way to account for such a convoluted and inexact law is by taxing Internet usage through ISPs. In fact, I think we should stop calling these taxes, when these are going to the private hands of shell associations.

"the worse the better", I am happy about this. Articles about this have been going around Spanish news aggregators for a while. Now that there's an official statement from Google, message will finally go around the world show

The slides being copied is just moot compared to characters and situations being falsely portrayed on this film. An xbox hacker is angry at Assange for fucking with his pin stacked presentation. What a nerd! And look at the envious looks fr

The article does not mention anything about privilege escalation, but this backdoor requires root.

I have been thinking about this for months. It would result in something a bit bulky, but would love to try it on my FM2. In fact, given more time and knowledge I would love to get my hands dirty on this. Main problem: get a hackable full f

The future of RSS is finding a way to make users use it without knowing they are using it. Sadly, more and more platforms are abandoning RSS/atom (hello twitter) --they want no part on anything defined on an RFC that decentralizes and

Tin foil hat mode ON Google never needed Google+ to be successful, it was just a means to complete their analytics and ad platforms with more data about the users by awkwardly signing them up. As Wave, it might also have led to the developm

First that I can think of, Neal Stephenson's early works pretty much nail a lot of things: - Snowcrash: VR + social network. - Diamond's Age: 3D printing, nano technology, communities, future cults. - Cryptonomicon: not exactly bi

For the setup I will say it is on the same level of difficulty as it would be to setup iptables and routes manually. Yes, tinc does not abstract any of these things from you. But if you know what you are doing (not saying I always know what

Always wonder how come tinc is not as popular as other VPN solutions. Peer to peer network routing via tun/tap interfaces, all traffic encrypted, each host has a public/private key pair. I have been using it to build an VPN netw

Everything applies, according to the article and the linked article too. But as usual, there's no sense on just getting rid of everything that defines humans: You might be in a small fishing boat, waiting for something to happen, it is

Fair enough, I did not test Google Now for a long period of time, and I would not be able to use it as it is meant because I stopped using smartphones the way they are meant to be used many years ago (circa Nexus One). Now they are just a t
