One way that we get around false triggers is by using some sort of "push-to-gesture" system. This would tell the recognition component that it is time to pay attention. I could imagine using some simpler heuristic that determines if the use

Combine it with this http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html and you've got yourself a nifty draw->search tool Also, if this comment sounds familiar, I left a very similar comment regarding combining the above link with a JS based

I feel the urge to figure out how this map is made and then write up an instructables on the matter. EDIT: It turned out to be simpler than I thought. I'm going to make a mini-conference program and write it up tomorrow.

It seems that as long as your app is doing < 100KB/user/month of wireless data then it is free. Once you do more than that, you have to start charging a monthly fee. So you can use as much Whispernet as you want but be prepared to have

I have a posterous blog that uses a custom domain. One thing that I would like is for the automatic tweeting of my posts to use my domain for the short url. So something like http://hacketal.com/i-want-a-coffee-mug-like-this-one should be

We have a more expensive version of these machines in our lab. After we print the part, if we want a finished surface we brush on super glue to make the part stronger and smoother. Then we sand and paint. We're also looking into using Bondo

My favorite thing about these printers is the ability to print replacement parts for parts that you know will wear out first. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1553 Hardware bugs that can be solved by emailing a model file. :)

Sorry, I should have used "encoding". Regardless, I'd still like to see code that does this.

One thing that was particularly annoying, given the expected server troubles, was the use of images inside of links for stepping through the checkout procedure. So even after the page loaded I couldn't see the link until all the images load

I'd like to see a demo video at least. This would give more information about responsiveness of screen, speed of eink and relative size to human hands. EDIT: Some video is available on the site but I can't find any "hands on" video. I do lo

It's really weird that the form doesn't work unless you fill in all of the fields. The URL is the only necessary field. Maybe the Google Labs guys ran out of their quota for URLFetches on AppEngine? :)

Ooh, then it's all good. I obviously have not been paying enough attention to HN updates. :)

I want to reply and concur with li0nheart's response to this suggestion but I don't see a reply link for the comment. I think the list should be for twitter accounts that are fed by founders instead of bots. http://twitpic.com/nyf2j EDIT:

I'm biased but I think Georgia Tech has a good CS program. Atlanta doesn't have as big as a web entrepreneur presence as some cities, but it's easy to get started in a city that is significantly cheaper than most. There are regular meetups

research papers look great, I read lots of two-column ACM style papers which are just fine. Here's a picture that someone else took for me before I decided to buy it: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/52575/photo.jpg From this HN comment. ht

This comment made me realize that I've been using emacs commands for textareas in Safari/Firefox without thinking about it. Most of them seem to be there, at least for moving around within the text. Does this just work under OS X?

As the comments on the post show, this article is another example of Techcrunch not researching before publishing. There is nothing surprising about Wave working on an iPhone given that it uses standard HTML/CSS/JS. Being formatted differen
