XML is more readable to people that learned XML first (like me). The younger crowd reads JSON better then XML. Just a matter of perspective. The only argument for XML is that you see the closing tags to know where the element ends. However,

This article says The Facebook is using MPEG-DASH. That's not what was reported by TFB in December. They suggest it's only RTMP. I've also seen reports of Flash being required on the desktop. http://www.usatoday.co

I would like to see a round cable version. I know this may not fit the design ethos, but I've had projects that I really wanted to use the Pi+camera and couldn't because of camera positioning (a 1m round cable would have worked) .

IANAL -- Someone who knows this better then me can chime in, but I think there is less protection for 'business records' that contain information about you. I think the AG is arguing that by using your phone you are sharing info w

you are correct. Airports are just the testing ground, body scanners will be in use in many venues in the near future. I suspect that cost is the only barrier currently.

This is a good example of the erosion of Freedom that happens over time. The TSA introduces invasive body scanners with an 'opt-out' to placate the few who are really concerned about personal rights. Wait a couple of years and the

Is the best content is always #1 in Google? I wish that was the case, but it's not. Until Google can evaluate content without external 'signals' SEO will be a fact of life.

This is exactly the right answer. The lack of credibility of science has provided a foothold for anyone with a plausible idea and good marketing. The "science" that we see today in the common press is just not a reliable source of

As a prepaid account I don't have access to the privacy settings. I spent an 1:15 on the phone with Verizon with no luck (no one had any idea what I was talking about). This has huge potential to be abused. It won't take long for

The post is a bit winey, but it's a real problem. Google's search results are not much better then they were five years ago (worse in many cases). They are having a difficult time combating web-spam. Also, are you suggesting no bu

Okay. It's not Google's goal to provide the absolute best answer. They just want to avoid a wrong answer while providing an acceptable answer for a majority of searchers. Google has over-valued authority domains at the cost of sma

Congressional testimony is just political kabuki. No one involved wants the truth they just want the show. It reminds me of pro wrestling without the steroids.

It would be crazy cool to get a real-time feed of browsed URLs (not this dump format). Kind of like the mythical Twitter fire-hose.

I use MonogoDB. I hope they will be able to manage the technical debt and stay competitive with newer alternatives. Seems like this is a step forward.

I don't work for NB, but I think you could probably get an add-in board/USB solution for audio input. It's based on a Beagle Bone (ARM/Linux). It might even accept Arduino shields?

That is one of the reasons I wrote the post. I was completely unaware of the scanning that was required of my family. Also, there is no 'Privacy Policy' for park admissions (like for a website). They are not required to say what they will u

FYI, I visited on a multi-day pass (4 days this last week). I didn't rush home to post, in fact, I did it on my last night after packing for home so I wouldn't lose the motivation and things were still fresh in my mind. Also, the front line
