That networking has to be done in proximity to other people is, and will increasingly be, an outdated concept.

There are plenty of people in online learning that agree with your first paragraph, but it's easier said than done. Lectures are easier than creating a completely different methodology for teaching, so it's the first step in the p

Coursera actually offers several classes that can be done at your own pace. It's gradually expanding, and will eventually offer a wide range of courses. There's also plenty of courses that aren't closed after their completion

Well, at least three of its products are being used in the real world (Glass, Loon, Self-driving cars) and at least one is actually being sold (Glass), so yes.

I think a G+ nearby feature: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/06/exclusive-google-wil... Would go a long way to make G+ compelling. There's still not a good tool for sharing pictures/video on mo

In my limited use of both, Google is better at voice recognition. I'm not sure why they haven't built a true siri competitor.

But it's in Google's interest to have all of those benefits available on Apple's platform as well.

I love the way my Nexus 5 runs. I use it just as much as my iPhone 5 and although it doesn't have the same UX niceties, it's still plenty smooth and fast. What really frustrates me is the camera. Some photos are great, others loo

It may be that Google did a pretty good job of preemptively responding to the Apple Watch, but I don't find this that much more interesting than the already not very interesting Android Wear devices.

Yep, I'm coming up on a contract renewal and I think I'm going to use it to resell the new iPhone and then buy the Moto G and the new iPad. I just don't use my phone enough to play games or mess around with apps.

Why cite the Verge instead of the source: http://www.calicolabs.com/news/2014/09/03/ or the original reporting: http://recode.net/2014/09/03/google-backed-calico-to-launch-

I haven't seen anyone do that. It's truly an indefensible position given Anand's track record.

"I didn't find the CGI distracting, nor is Rocket treated like Jar Jar Binks (he is actually one of the more "serious" characters). Although I will admit that Groot (the tree) has some Jar Jar Binks style moments, but it

I think you're safe watching Iron Man, the Avengers, Captain America 2, and maybe GOTG (I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard good things). I would skip SHIELD. It's just a B sci-fi series that's inflated by its ass

Nilay is more likely than Topolsky to make the Verge a lifestyle magazine. He has a very limited taste in gadgets and I've never seen him broach technology topics in a very insightful way. He wrote a bunch of aggressive 'state of

I'm not sure if they've ever had a good record for accurate technology stories. I stopped reading them sometime last year when I noticed how often their articles were inaccurate or just outright false for the sake of click through

Let's be honest, Facebook has a much more efficient product, and by that I mean the product does most of the work for them.

I remember thinking that Apple would introduce "ink"-like effects at some point after seeing their new design in iOS 7. I'm surprised that Google did it first, and actually did a great job with it.

I always thought that Google Now was built (in part) for devices like wearables. Do you think Apple's device interface won't involve swiping?
