I see some comments here along the lines of 'this is standard, nothing to do with race' Even if that is true (And I don't know that it is), doesn't it speak to some greater cultural problem that this man was so scared fo

Cool looking device, I'm not convinced it's totally revolutionary, especially with Microsoft's mobile offerings now, but the killer difference will likely be the software, especially if the offline/online syncing works a

I believe this is using VNC? I was thinking something like a totally custom shell/thin client that ran in a browser and spoke to a linux instance over the network.

For a moment I thought this was a HTML5 UI that spoke to a linux instance. I'm not sure what I'd use it for, but it'd be cool tech.

This is along the lines of "soak testing" It seems so common its mandatory in some places / fields, and totally unknown in others unfortunately.

I actually use Siri daily, but only to set reminders and turn on alarms, two incredibly trivial use cases. I'm not opposed to using it more but those are the only things that work reliably for me, I'd get over it disappearing pret

People thought the same about Digg. That said, I do agree that it will take more than just community / company politics to have a big impact, but if Reddit is pushing for growth and make enough missteps in the actual functionality of t

Given the ongoing narrative of a push for growth, the sacking of Victoria Taylor seems like even more of a bungle to me. Last I heard the AMA mods are going it alone without admin support. The mods themselves previously said that the subred

iirc, they used to be curated, over time organic features were added to promote popular games, and the social update brought the "Recommended for you" pages. You can tell explicit placement still goes on, as games that are in the

It would be great if there was a link to explore without logging in, because I don't feel particularly compelled to give my details to this site.

Yeah, I wanted a stylus and at the time Pencil was one of the only ones that worked on the iPad I had, so when I got it, I played around in Paper and it's such a slick experience, but wasn't really the kind of app I needed. It is

Sort of related, reminded me of this: a friend of mine who is a very skilled lady, attended some "programming for women only" type events, her intention was to meet people and pitch in to lend a hand. She told me that 4 out of 5 t

This study was published in 1997 though. I'm not suggesting there is a bias problem for "political correctness" sake nowadays, but I think the people who would argue that there is wouldn't accept a study from 18 years ag

Hoping this includes eventual international shipping. I'm an Australian, been eager to give Soylent a whirl. I've ordered a batch from a 3rd party to see how I go with it, but would be nice to have access to the genuine article.

I'm a bit out of the loop on corporate data gathering. Why is Twitter collecting this data? This is a sincere question, from their point of view what exactly are they doing and why?

Or try to, anyway. At the time they were the only functioning solution (They may still be? I'm out of the loop now) and everything else on the market were clones of their cards. It was almost like a hostage situation with the community

It's interesting watching this play out with reputable, legal companies. Something similar happened earlier in the year with Nintendo 3DS flashcards, however the software was not just disabling the flashcard, but would brick the users

Jason Scott in general is one of my internet heroes. A lot of what he covers in his work is before my time, so it doesn't carry any nostalgia for me, but appeals on a different level altogether. Books I've read, and classes I took

I agree. I'm not a Facebook user, so I probably won't run into this feature myself, but it sounds really impressive to me. If I read it right, it can detect the TV show down to episode? I'm guessing it functions just like Sha

I see a few people in this thread saying you would need an amount of luck to actually get one of these, can anyone shed some light on why? And possibly what someone might do to actually get one shipped out to Australia?
