I tried to read the patent summary with an open mind, but that was some convoluted phrasing. I have idea what claims they are making beyond that a web server and terminal devices are involved, and some information is used to do something.

The general public doesn't know how to side-load, just as they have no idea what apt-get is. Being blocked from the market is a sufficient barrier to effectively kill an app from broad distribution.

I think some politicians (supporters of this policy) are very worried about this, in that it could turn their base against them, and be vote out of office. We will have to wait and see how public sentiment turns.

I suspect what the commenter meant is that Google could have created an open social platform for others to build upon, resulting in a plethora of specific social implementations targeting many different verticals. Instead, what we have toda

Yes. For some reason, I assumed it was Alan Greenspan.

I think he was trying to argue that "good" is subjective. That Ferrari/Porsche aren't necessarily good, as it depends on what you value. If you value simplicity and reliability, perhaps you would view Toyota/Honda as superior.

You are wrong. We know that the younger brother returned to his school 60 miles away from the bombing, and was seen at his school partying it up the day before the MIT officer was killed. Please get your facts straight.

How about celebration for the simple matter that a couple of murderers are off the street, and people can stop hiding in their houses?

Why do you think you shouldn't try? As long as you approach it as a side project unless things take off (don't bet the farm, don't sacrifice family), all you are left with risking is your time.

All of these supposed science/history/nature related channels have been resorting to carnival style attractions to raise ratings. Ghost hunting, Bigfoot hunting, ancient aliens, pawning.

Are you sure? When I did my MBA a few years ago, student loans were about 6.5%, and I thought I heard that rates were lower today.

I find your examples "crime witness aid for police" and then "other non-big-brother things" a bit chilling.

Perhaps Kohls is a better example. Maybe even Target. JC Penney's is like that old Oldsmobile automobile. It needs to be turned over. Perhaps even spawn another brand.

Isn't Walmart basically today's version of JCPenny and Sears?

Governments could tax all bitcoin transactions that go through a centralized entity (such as Mt. Gox) a non-trivial amount, which would effectively kill it as a mainstream currency.

As long as they un-bundle the price of the phone from the price of the plans, consumers win.

The issue at hand is whether Google will later determine that the value gained from this new service is worth the cost. Google Reader allowed Google to collect a lot of incremental info on its users (what they were interested in reading) b

The issue for many people is that these ancillary services from Google may be found to not add value to Google's overall G+ strategy, and killed in the interest of staying "focused". Google is simply not "all-in" with some of these service

I thought the smart classroom description was pretty spot-on. The elementary school classrooms that I am familiar with do have large computer displays with interactive capabilities, where students can participate individually from their se

Uber is mentioned for the same reason why Craigslist is mentioned when something goes bad with a CL deal. It adds context to the story.

If this was such a huge problem, the content creators could certainly use an alternative method of displaying ads within their app.

Are you saying that Google should help police user behavior for app developers? That sounds contrary to the "open" argument.

While Apple was in a very strong position, the carriers had a strong interest in another player to counter Apple's market power. In the case of fragmentation, I think Google was just more willing to negotiate away things like this in the i

I am an Android user, and I complain about the autocorrect (and keyboard) frequently. Maybe the iPhone would be the same for me, but others appear to breeze through typing on the iPhone, while I encounter a constant stream of backing up to

Thanks for the my_speed link. When I run the test video contained at 720p, I consistently get outstanding video with no streaming pauses. However, if I switch to another video (say a Google IO 2012 presentation), I get long pauses within t

My YouTube experience with uverse has been very frustrating of late. I routinely get streaming freezing, even on lower resolution streams. I have been considering a switch to Time Warner, but perhaps that's not the best solution.
