Could you list some of the issues you had a few years ago? I'd like to know if there now solutions to your problems or if you'd still have issues.

They seem to be moving in that direction. The Google+ application on my phone offers instant uploading of pictures and videos to google+ already which I find rather useful.

but with gl_PointSize in the vertex shader he could make it as large as he needs (within limit of his hardware's max point size) and still be able to shade it in the fragment shader as a sphere looking thing by using gl_PointCoord, a textur

Cool article. I'm wondering, instead of using 4 vertices to represent the sphere could points have been used instead to do the same thing? Would it be simpler?

I wouldn't say that completely, they do have other products that people seem to love. Yahoo mail is still very popular. Yahoo finance is still very popular also. They do have a bunch products they bought that they never seemed to be able to

I agree, money from ticketing should go to some other use than directly to the police in the locality where the ticket was given. Hell it should go to education or something useful like that. Or to a general fund that is redistributed based

I really hate when people attack him with this. Personal privacy and government secrecy are not the same thing at all.

Go job to them. I know they get a lot of ill will in the Linux community but I've never understood it. They are the only distribution vendor who's managed to make a decent profit from their work. They also contribute a lot to the developmen

The issue on the linux side is the need to have a valid key to sign your bootloader and from what I understand the kernel too as it's part of the bootloader or something like that. Which means, no self compiled kernel and only from Linux ve

Something I didn't get from the articles is can Windows 8 work on non UEFI systems? What if I buy a machine today and wanted (probably won't but hypothetical here) to run Windows 8 on it is that still possible? Because then pirated copies w

I wouldn't be surprised either. I'd like to know how do spectator get access to the room? Can anyone show up to a hearing like this? Placing someone would be hard, involving knowing where the cams are and how to position yourself and gettin

Which is interesting because until then they managed without. When they needed to create a warchest they had the cash to do it and it didn't think long. It probably wasn't a bad strategy to wait until the last minute to start buying patents

You are right there are options that are free. Community health clinics and such. But those things are such basic health services it doesn't cover nearly enough to compare to what a public health system covers.

I meant if it's a remote deactivation they are doing. They probably keep a way to reactivate it. It would be interesting to know if anyone has tried to cancel and reactivate.

by nkassis 15y ago
I'm sure they have a way to reactivate it thus still have a connection.

semantics everyone knows what they mean. Call it public health system if you want. The idea is you are not charged per visit or per service rendered. And a vast amount of people in countries with public health systems aren't paying a cent c

For now, I think microsoft is trying to one up Apple but Apple probably won't sit still and do worse soon.

If I'm not mistaken the first to file requirement during the 70s would have meant no PC industry as the Eniac patents would have survived and IBM could have killed the entire homebrew scene. So how does prior art work now? I mean, does the

They sure are getting a crapload of publicity out of this. I much prefer them talking about it early than to late. If it's really bad ideas at least they can adjust before finalizing win8.

I agree with this and I think you could even scale the fee for renewal up over time to discourage just automatic renewal of stuff that has almost no commercial value anymore. Seriously I could care less if disney wants to keep paying for st

I'm in the same boat as you, I got assigned to work on a project that keeps me really interested and my side projects right now are basically research and experimentation that might be useful for my main work project. Looking at projects li

One of the cool thing about this job bill is crowdfunding might be now legal. It could be cool to be allow to put under 100 bucks to fund a startup idea. You could spread that 20k around.

I've long stopped reading comments on news sites specifically because they are obviously overrun by trolls. The problem is the trolls are winning as I can see by some comments I see on facebook by people who believe the bullshit. But sites

It's a risk but at the same time Adobe has a lot of the same issues to fix as what webgl has. It's not going to be easy for either solution to make a dent in the adoption of the 3D web. Some of the biggest problems with WebGL and Flash wil

I don't think you can classy what Google did as a LEGO problem. At the time they started, indexing the web and comming up with pagerank was a hugely complex thing to do. And you can see how it impacted their future direction as a company th

The invention of the lego isn't what the article is talking about. It's more about building something cool in legos and comparing that to building something cool that puts people on the moon. And I feel you are downplaying the societal imp

I think the down vote is mostly because the article is centred on WebGL and nothing to do with the new mark-up elements in HTML5.

I don't know, when I don't think Apple products are as successful in the Asian markets for example. That could many things but maybe they don't like the look.
