Your comment doesn't make a lot of sense...

Yeah, that's false.

I can't believe this. I hope it's real, because then it would be clear that Google is very close to being able to market their autonomous car technology. I imagine a move like putting their autonomous car in a NASCAR race is part of a larg

It will be very interesting to see what happens when this goes to trial in May.

The article buries that caveat about how many players of Draw Something also play Words with Friends, etc. I would guess it's a significant amount. I play both games, and many of the friends I play with are playing both too. So, inaccurat

Is this a joke? I'm not trolling, I just don't get it.

Some of these claims about the danger of Groupon refunds are exaggerated. For many deals, Groupon simply does not grant refunds, so customers need to be sure they can use the deals they buy. But, I still think that Groupon will fail, maybe

Aw. Whatever this query does, it doesn't do it in Mobile Safari :(

That's a good point. I think the surface you are describing (that the wind would sweep out) would be a torus. The 2-torus is "combable."

I love DuckDuckGo. My only real complaint is when their search falls back on Google (for maps, and things like that). It would be great if DDG were able to start providing their own alternative image/map searches. I would probably switch

This reminds me of the proof that there is always a point on the earth where there is no wind. This is a property of spherical surfaces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_ball_theorem

I don't want to be a killjoy but this seems like a wasteful novelty. Are the tweets at least printed on recycled paper?

So it's a nice front end for a WHOIS lookup?

Either this is a hoax or the unrealistic claim of a sad group of hackers. Regardless, it's still interesting to imagine what it would be like if the internet really were inaccessible to a large number of people. Even light Internet users

One thing that Google knows: other accounts you have with non-Google services. For example, when you setup your G+ profile, they offer to link a Twitter account that they suspect is yours.

I think you are right, and when they frame this new service as "turning your existing Xbox into a set top box", it sounds benign and rational. But I'm afraid of the dangerous precedent that this sets. TV-style subscription-based services w

I wouldn't be surprised if Google did finally release the GDrive. This would follow the company's current trend of cloning successful businesses far after a competitor has established market dominance. Google+ is actually rather well buil

This was the first book I read (an older edition) when I was learning to program for iOS. It is very accessible, but occasionally they gloss over the details of some key things (like memory management). I would recommend supplementing a b

I wish. Google could have done this (the G drive) when it was originally rumored (2006?) but instead waited until Dropbox had taken a majority stake in the market. I'm scared that their autonomous car program will have a similar fate. Go

What exactly did he say? I don't understand why this garnered so much attention. There are a lot of racist tweets on Twitter.

Being able to see your friend's brush strokes as they draw is very cool. It is fun to watch people draw because it is interesting insight into how people think. Also, clues can be given through "actions" this way, e.g. the word "wind" can

Pretty easy fix for this: don't login on someone else's phone. In the hypothetical, the guy could just login to Twitter via Safari (using the web client). This is a full-featured solution, and you can logout like any web service when you'

Making Megaupload pay this $9000/day seems unfair, too. The US government has cut off all of Megaupload's revenue streams, and so they would be forcing Megaupload to keep paying for a service that they can no longer make money from. Regard

Does anyone know an easy way to prevent Google from tailoring my search results based off my location? I don't want to use a proxy, because then the results would just be tailored to that (false) location.
