I own a Sony alarm clock. It is very cheap both in price and quality. I plan to replace with an iPhone stand.

I think they bought a younger demographic. When I was young I didn't want to hang out with my parents and their friends.

I don't think Facebook would spend $1B for image editing. Image editing has well known and documented solutions.

Mr. Closed vs. Mr. Open?? It would never happen, but I admire Mr. Jobs for at least trying.

If this were to gain momentum, then I think the exact opposite would happen. Crowd sourcing is like a human map-reduce. The bad patent is "mapped" to people who know something about the subject and each searches independently sometimes shar

This is also why cabals are so destructive. They cause homogeneity on what would normally be a diverse set of topics. I wonder if you could train your classifier to reject topics that are similar or are being promoted by the same set of peo

Interesting. Many natural sounds are very similar to white noise (e.g. leaves, waterfalls, etc.). We evolved in nature so our brains might be tuned to specific sounds, that is, they have a positive psychological effect. My father, who was a

In Nintendo's market cartridges are an advantage. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt & Uncle want to give a tangible present, not a gift card or "points". It is not about the technology, it is about the experience. I'm a dad, Nintendo has nailed i

How many indy games target 4-10 year olds? Pricing doesn't matter as long as it is an affordable birthday present for grandma, grandpa, aunts, etc.

Nintendo already support Indy games in WiiWare. My boys 7 & 10 love their 3DSs & Wii and rarely use the the iPod touch or XBox. Nintendo is after a younger market. There is lots of room for them. They have been pronounced "nearly d

Bad laws are stopped when citizens participate in the political process. I think people are realizing this. Social networks like twitter, facebook, reddit and hacker news makes organizing easier. They also make it easier to hear alternative

"Getting to Yes" by Fisher, et al. and "Bargaining for Advantage" by Shell are considered classics in the field.

Exactly. Who benefits the most from this attack? Anonymous or SOPA/PIPA supports who get to say "look what happened, we need stronger laws on the internet".

He chose his words carefully. He didn't say this was done by Google employees, but "a team of people" working on a Google project. Google is usually straight-forward when they screw up. I'm curious to see what actually happened.

Thanks for the clarification. They only demote the URL and not what it linked to.

I would see this in a more positive light if searching for the word "Chrome" did not find the Google Chrome homepage. However, they chose the word "browser", which isn't quite the same thing.

They would get the same benefit at a lower cost. They want their apps (& advertising and data collection) to be ubiquitous.

Why wouldn't Google embrace WebOS? Their business is advertising and this will be as good a platform as any.
