I think what everyone here is missing is that the press is looking for "Tech" companies doing wild, innovative things with technology. -The WSJ article was in the "technology news and insights" section. -TechCrunch has the word Tech in

You completely missed the point of the post. The point of the post was not: "look someone made an exoskeleton". As the other commenters pointed out before you edited the title, there have been many exoskeletons made. The real point of the

The original title of this post was: "a company called Cyberdyne makes an exoskeleton - really". By changing the title, the novelty is lost.

Cyberdyne was the name of the company that created the Terminator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)

The TED community is full of snobbery. HOWEVER: I'm glad they are blowing the whistle on pseudo science related to GMO food.

Why are there no software unions, or engineering unions?

I am so offended!! Why is this only limited to any two people? What about interspecies relationships?

I love this sentence: "Normal people, who have normal jobs working for other people, can no longer relate to you, and you can’t relate to them." I wish I knew how to better deal with situations where I have to interact with people working n

Great point, here is a chart of the Russel 2000, incredible growth during that period. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5ERUT&t=5y&l=on&#38...

Do you think they can fine developers outside of CA?

I think the market is telling these guys: We don't care about computing power. People are getting by with iPads and Chromebooks powered by ARM cores with 1/8 the computing power of an Intel processor. Don't get me wrong if you want to pl

Sorry I'm late to this question. I wanted to answer this: "How do bootstrapped startups handle huge companies like Zappos?" From my experience, big companies like working with small vendors because they can push them around. That may sou

Well put! Don't forget to mention that Yelp has never turned a profit.

This article title is totally incorrect it misses a layer of logic. A better title would be: "Nathan Myhrvold's Cunning Plan to get royalties from 3D printer DRM software". Nathan Myhrvold was issued a patent on 3D printer DRM software,

Totally agree. I know, from many sources that a lot of human labor goes into making the Google data so good. They used to give out cookies to employees who would filter search results as porn/not porn. Algos can only get you so far.

YES!!!! We stopped using it in production and moved to Solr. I don't hate MongoDB but I think it is overhyped. The fact that 10gen raised 42m is crazy. I would be surprised if those investors got any return greater than the money they inve

An estimate of your sales pipeline isn't proof you have traction, it's an estimate: not worth very much.

As someone who contributes OSHW derivatives, it feels really shitty to have a company go from very open (Makerbot in 2009) to very closed (Makerbot in 2012). Contrast this with Google Wave, originally closed, then they opened it. The same

It's funny, Makerbot actually took the MK7 extruder design from a Chinese 3D printer (UP!). I'm not saying that what the guy did with the kickstarter campaign was right, just don't be fooled into thinking Makerbot invented everything.

I do not have enough information to say what exactly is the problem with HP's memristor. The axiom of technology development in NVM is: "The technology of the future will always be the technology of the future." Just like cold fusion has b

This is a stupid article. The author makes the assumption that HP and Hynix COULD ramp to high volume production, however it is clear from HP's statement that this is not true: "As with many other ground-breaking technologies being develop
