I thought it was ironic that Loopt was using Microsoft Maps in the demo for the iphone, anyone know why they chose Virtual Earth over GOOG?

I’ll bet that in 5 years, if you stacked up a TechCrunch 50 of Indian start ups versus a comparable number of U.S. startups, it would be a pretty even match. I think there's something distinctly Indian about making 5 year plans, even if t

Yeah the headline also calls her a 'girl' even though she's a University graduate. When does she become a 'woman', I wonder?

One of the big barriers for me to consider the web replacing the desktop is device support for the browser. Does anyone know of a way for web applications to talk to devices like digital cameras, video game paraphernalia, music instruments?

"Study co-leader White sees nothing about the skeleton "that would exclude it from ancestral status." But he said more fossils would be needed to fully resolve the issue." Headline is misleading, this species isn't officially a human ancest

Twitter is in trouble because a website with more features (photo albums, apps, blah blah) and a larger community has been consistently adding all of twitter's 'killer' features to their own site. Question: What's to stop facebook from ad

I was thinking something similar. You could have police scanners placed around different cities to get everything. I didn't know whether voice recognition could parse the output though, it's not really my field.

I wonder how far ancient Egyptians could have gotten without breathing apparatus? Or have the caves changed that much over time...

Well as a color e-book reader it would be way better than anything out there now. That is, if apple could manage the distribution correctly. So I can imagine, say, kids in college buying books on their device instead of carrying around hea
