Pretty tough puzzle. The audio part certainly seems the hardest but it looks like there were some other clues ;) on that page to get you to that.

Very impressive management of the situation. This story is pretty incredible and really exciting for the ability of researchers at different institutions to somewhat effectively collaborate.

I really wish settlement details were public or at least semi-public. No-IP had to have received some $$$ from this. The 200,000 bond MS put up better have been just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyone got a link to the TRO? Is this part of the public record?

Yup. The level of new construction in areas outside the waterfront is essentially 0. Which is preposterous given the current state of rental affairs. I'd bet you could count on two or less hands the number of new low rise buildings bui

This is such a non-story. The content of those emails is really really tame. Go read totalsororitymove.com or totalfratmove.com and you'll find equal levels of college drunk hookup culture openly displayed. Or go read textsfromlastnigh

Excellent read. This is not for a general audience, but helped me get a nicer grasp on the fundamentals technology than I had before without getting too particular in the under the hood stuff. The "blocks are never final" idea is

A nanorobot is a lot different from what you might think of as a macroscale robot. Most of these systems have perhaps two or three functional states, like an enzyme that can switch more than one active configuration. These are still much mu

I could have sworn I saw this submitted already with a high quality tptacek comment, but now it is no where to be seen.

This product is certainly pretty interesting, but it protects you from upward price movement only. Because the price changes of flights are not the kind of catastrophic loss for which insurance programs make sense it becomes more of a gambl

Certainly a big issue is scale. For example if your company grows sufficiently large, there are people who do not know how at least one of your products works at your company. You could fix this by partitioning who supports what, but even t

The retroactive obviousness of it does seem quite incredible. People get hotel rooms to do things they don't want to do at home. AirBnB is a hotel substitute. I wonder if AirBnB internally had some risk assessment of this.

Microsoft has always been terrible at branding. Is it 'Microsoft Azure' or 'Windows Azure' it is both ways multiple places on their site.

The power of attorney part is a little scary. I understand they really have to handle the whole process to ensure they get paid at the end, but I surely don't take giving someone power of attorney lightly.

Really interesting use case. I'm super impressed with the concept, of automated data generation and gathering and having a common platform for the company. Perhaps the most impressive idea is that the data that is generated appears to

The best parts are the natural language inputs and inherent connectedness with data. These are going to eventually become expectations that you'll have interacting with computer systems in general. Having a computer interface that lets

The best part of this article is that the company was formed from Japanese university researchers to compete in the DARPA DRC. This is a great result for the DARPA DRC that commercial entities are being created just for the competition.

The technology is pretty cool but the concept of kickstartering this is fairly odd to me. Why not try and raise equity/debt capital around the concept of computer vision as a middleware/service?

Impressive, but if I think back to some old examples of this kind of stuff, like Johnny Chan (also of CMU)'s headtracking/motion tracking with Wii-motes it had remarkably less data (IR Led points) but seemed to handle the type of

I don't understand how Prizeo complies with relevant contest related law. You get entries in proportion to the size of your donation, but apparently contributing does not improve your chances of winning. This seems to be a direct contr
