The total number of hours watching video is still increasing through. You also have to consider that the cost of production is dropping, and the number of big players in the TV market is still tiny. The huge players are (Disney/ABC,

It is all about vision. What is their vision of the future? 1) Make a cool buck, and chill out in Costa Rica. 2) Make cool companies forever. 3) Make Snapchat HUGE and somehow remake the world with it or something else. 4) Asteroid mining.

There is still evidence that those particular wavelengths can cause genetic damage, and as someone who already has a propensity for sub-dermal tumors, I will still opt out. Ref: http://www.technologyreview.com/view/416066/how-terahertz-wa.

Sadly, it is highly compressible, so air pressure would just crush the mylar ballon around it. If you could make this material rigid, so the balloon would be able to displace the proper volume of air, then you could make party balloons and

Unfortunately my site works directly with embedded Hulu videos and it doesn't seem like this process can replay those videos from the cache. I JUST dealt with bad data speeds at SXSW while demoing for @scobleizer so this would have been g

I am on app.net mainly to see how it evolves. My startup ( http://tomorrowish.com ) relies heavily on twitter and facebook. The network effect that made those networks chock full of pop culture and marketing hasn't happened yet with app.n

Articles like this are important to keep my mind actively thinking about how I do management. It is really easy to fallback to a "natural" management style when things are crazy busy, and it feels like you are struggling just to keep your

I read halfway through point number 1 and I thought "robotize the studio." Think of a new studio that is infinitely configurable with lights and cameras, and all controlled by software. Kind of a Holodeck but in reverse, or a blackbox thea

Once augmented reality apps become more common I can imagine this becoming more popular. If you are a tourist and want to find stuff, or just see the ads you would be able to load up the ads layer and maybe even get discounts for your trou

I have been told over and over, "The thing you are ACTUALLY making money on IS the startup." Everything else is a side project. Good luck to you guys, and hopefully the startup you WANT to pay the bills starts to do that.

I pretty much do this now without thinking of it as a retention policy. The more revenue and funding we get the better everyone does, just seems fair to me.

Ah ha! Yes, I knew it must have been a residual memory and not my own idea.

I am guessing this is a nice little joke, BUT... If the sensitivity was just right, and it only measured a shake like smacking the monitor on the side, it might actually make a nice UX. Think of typing away at this message and then deciding

It is great for talking through deductive reasoning with children. My 7 year old niece responds great to it. She has the base knowledge to think through the questions, and provide a possible answers. And, it is a lot of fun because she i

The Tweets are sent out to twitter for anyone to read. These are public timeline tweets. We are just a twitter client that shows those tweets like any other twitter client, but delayed and using search to figure out what the best tweets t

PG, sorry, but I am a little confused by your answer. Is your "yes" in response to "do you still feel comfortable with the suggestion to build companies on top of it?" Or, to the fact that you would now recommend other companies and startup

Well now they are asking for Prime duplicates, and if they keep it going fo the next week, you could end up with some complex puzzles.

I love it, and I didn't even need to tell it the session I was speaking at, it just knew and told me I was speaking at that session once I logged in. The 'official' SXSW event calendar has always been clunky even as they upgrade every year

This is a big deal. They are making it harder to feel safe developing an app that will work with Twitter's API. They just removed any further access to whitelisting of the use of the API too as announced here but I doubt on any public blo

I posted earlier on this and submitted it here a few days ago. Apple is taking myopia into the realm of an artform. As the app developers find out they can't get to there customers in the "approved" way through the AppStore, they can eithe

I'm going. I have my own full time project, that I am trying to spend every minute I have on right now. But, I want to work with some clever people on something that I can see really working over the weekend. It doesn't take TOO much time
