I use BetterTouchTools http://www.boastr.de/ which is free and I just setup three finger swipe to change spaces in that direction and three finger tap to see all spaces. I love it and hate using another computer without it now.

This idea breaks down pretty quickly when you add more spaces. I use 9 spaces on my macbook pro and have created multi-touch swipe motions to move me in any virtual direction I want. The simpler solution is to just make the spaces an infi

I use it as well, and have been meaning to dig into the code to setup automatic login and playing. I think the stream that it accesses is completely advertising-free too. But I would gladly listen to the pandora ads on it since it runs wi

I seem to remember reading a while ago that the immune system in animals with regenerative ability needs to be stronger because the blastoma wound is "open" longer and more prone to infection. For humans today we can mitigate infection pre

Agreed, but there are a ton of different social graphs out there. If you are looking for data about a person who is only on one or two social sites, the data won't likely be very valuable, but if you are looking at a group of people that a

In fact I have paid for a Chrome extension. I've been using http://www.activeinboxhq.com/ Active Inbox since it was in beta on Firefox and it has been instrumental in getting my mail from thousands of unread or processed emails to regula

Yeah, and I met Mark 3 or 4 years ago and he had already started at least one and maybe 2 successful startups.

Hey Mark, it's been a while. Nicely done. You said it was just an MVP so I assume you have a product designed beyond this point. So, NOW is the time to do some validation on what those other ideas are. You have a large audience who alre

I had to convince a former bosses boss of mine that this was the proper setup. He had setup the network when the company was tiny and explaining what needed to be changed when we grew to more than 10 times the users and 20 times the wifi d

I am finally able to do regular workouts after recovering from a slipped disk. But, the weight I have put on in the intervening time is hard to work off, especially this time of year. So I am going to try this and see if it improves my bur

Makes me feel better. I was "pretty sure" that i had only used Twitter OAuth to comment, and have been unable to confirm that. I haven't received an email from hint.io or a reset from LinkedIn so a little safer.

Saplo looks to be a good resource for my new twitter app so we don't have to build all our own in-house tools to duplicate pretty much what it looks like they are doing. I signed up to get access to the API's there, but does anyone on here

If the Plastic Logic E-reader was out I would suggest looking at that. I played with it for about 30 minutes and interviewed a lead developer. It was a super light, easy to ready, all e-ink, 8.5x11 touch screen. It worked great in my hand

I actually saw this article in my RSS reader Feedly http://www.feedly.com/ , which does a lot of the same stuff in, I think a prettier fashion, with a browser extension for Chrome or Firefox.

I have been intermittently trying to teach my 6 year old niece calculus graphically. She can visually tell what the slope of the curve is and filling in the area under the curve is, well child's play. :-)

i think this XKCD points out the issue rather well. http://xkcd.com/810/ Is there any kind of captcha on the submission for RMS? If not perhaps a direct link to the other RMS's and a requirement to post there.

So in the 15 years they started using statistical methods for understanding language, googles ability to understand language is at about an 8 year olds level. So it is learning about half as fast as a human child. Not bad and an excellent
