He would take control of all communications in the event of a national emergency. Then again, all he has to do is declare a national emergency, and then who knows what happens. If it is a genuine national emergency, though, like an enemy in

It's been slowly turning into Reddit, and it looks like it finally reached the point where you noticed how Reddit-like it is now.

I think their purpose as an external display will be made obsolete when Google Glasses and other similar HUD devices take off.

Well, they're trying to bring watches back with so-called "smart watches", but most of these require a smartphone to unlock functionality. Plus, watches still have a purpose outside of telling time. They are often used as accessories, simil

It would be bloody hard, but I would love to see someone do it. Even if it is just reading code, that would be a huge boost. I could browse interesting repos on the bus/train ride home and check out the code to see if it is something I am r

That's what I was thinking. I think I would prefer to have good looking icons with their own identity. Having more apps using the same diagonal-line with gradient background will make it all look bland.

Too bad his tenure at webOS was not fun for anyone involved, all the way down to app developers. His failure there is only "forgotten" because Leo's failure with HP and webOS was orders of magnitude greater.

As far as I can tell, it sets up a National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) Communications Executive Committee. Section 3 gives you the most important information. Section 3.2 tells you who forms part of the committee, and 3.3 t

I hope packaged apps start gaining more traction. It seems that the majority of apps in the Chrome Web Store are just glorified bookmarks. Few are packaged apps. Hopefully, as packaged apps grow in popularity, Google will develop features f

I find that people are surprisingly willing to dismiss personal shortcomings as "just my nature" instead of taking the time to address said shortcomings. With regards to problems sleeping, this doesn't involve just visiting the doctor and e

I wonder, does the time you go to sleep factor in health? If you sleep eight hours, but you sleep them all during the day, are you worse off in terms of health than others who sleep during the night and wake in the morning?

Well, it can get really expensive if you really get into it. Owning land in SL is not cheap, and I've heard of some people who spend thousands every year owning land for a nightclub or retail space. I do wonder what the top tier of spenders

by rsanchez1 14y ago
I think its because SL is not growing wildly. Yeah, they generate $700M from the virtual economy, but what do they do with it? Without a focus on growing, there isn't as much of a focus on innovation. Plus, as the article states, they've tr

It tried to grow too fast. That's the main reason behind all the emptiness. When the hype reached its peak, they couldn't sell enough virtual land, but now that the hype has died down they have an overabundance of land and not enough intere

Ah, Chavista propaganda, how delightful. Is that why Chavez is trying to strong-arm the so-called banana republics in the region into an economic "alliance" akin to the Euro, but where Chavez retains control over the currency? You can't tru

I personally think Wikipedia has a good page on the qubit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit The Bloch Sphere is particularly helpful in understanding superpositions in qubits and operations on qubits. Also, for the perl folks I think th

You're assuming that Apple definitely won't sue Samsung for S-Voice and other vendors' attempts.

If Apple turns around and sues Google using this patent, I think it will be time to unplug completely and join the people in the mountains looking to escape EM radiation. And really, they had to add CRT displays to the patent? Seriously App

Really? They admit very early on that bosons are named after Bose. If that's not honoring Bose, I don't know what is. "I believe it's a deliberate omission." It's named a freaking BOSON, as in "BOSE-ON". Get over yourselves.

I have to agree with him. We gain a slightly deeper conceptual understanding of the Universe, but we're in essence replacing one constant with another. Like he said, instead of asking why particles have different masses, now we ask why part

Microsoft is getting greedy. Seeing the success of Apple and of Google's Nexus products, it seeks to do the same by releasing Surface. Microsoft's greed made it completely forget the role that its OEMs had in its own success, so much so tha
