I've used Intel's image libs on other platforms and found them to be excellent. No idea how well it works on ios, but according to wikipedia it's supported- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV

This seems to be oddly favorable to apple. Think of the two scenarios. 1- samsung is a complete copycat (likely), and apple has plenty more ammo, which they would get during normal discovery anyway 2- samsung has some novel features, and ap

Maybe for comparison there would be a way to time normalize the valuations. I'd be shocked if any other incubator even came close with any comparative measure though.

I really wish I could find this interview, it was pretty good. I'm positive it was on NPR, but I can't find it. I wasn't the recent This American Life coke recipe piece, it was more of a historical story of coke. They talked about their str

But still understandable, so that's a success I'd say. I remember when nginx first came out (the web server that the author built) and the biggest barrier to adoption was the fact that all the documentation was in russian. Online machine tr

I remember hearing an interview with someone high up at coke at that time and his response was something along the lines of- we weren't that smart and we weren't that dumb.

The articles have been going in parallel for both Rackspace and Slicehost for a while now. Btw, credit where credit is due on the articles, the mastermind there was Paul Tomes, who originally had started writing these articles on his own si

Prior to CK's acquisition by Rackspace, I'd say the main selling point is a common control panel experience for cross provider stuff. They were adding on monitoring as a pay service top as well. I was suggesting it initially as a way to not

Actually the acquisition was in Fall 2008. You can also try out the cloudkick CP for linode and AWS as well, from their CP you can use all 3 providers.

Have you tried the cloudkick control panel?

You've correctly characterized my sentiment. I also stated that you might not care about any of the other cloud products or extra bells and whistles. The fundamental building block (a cloud server) that Rackspace sells will be and is identi

First I want to be clear that I'm no longer a Rackspace employee and while I can certainly comment on things I know of first hand in the past (i.e. the acquisition), I do not have direct knowledge of Rackspace's roadmap or plans. Consider m

We are in agreement for sure. UX at rackspace now is ick at best, but since the Polvi virus is currently spreading in the place, I'd bet on significant improvement. I just see that there are two independent issues. One is that Rackspace UX

Make sure you do the math on the options, last time I checked Cloud Servers will be cheaper for the vast majority of use cases, by a fairly real margin. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone at Rackspace who will tell you their exis

I don't disagree with you. It's just that even if the Rackspace control panel was perfect today that wouldn't fix the core issue. The core issue is that you're going to have your needs met if you are on the critical path, especially for a c

Definitely a misleading title and kind of unfair to Rackspace. I founded Slicehost (with Matt Tanase) and I absolutely think this is the right thing to do and definitely is the best thing for existing Slicehost customers. Given that this is

I used runbox for several years a long time ago. I was very happy with them then and would definitely recommend as well. Also, rackspace has a hosted email offering - http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/

It makes me wonder how much Paul Allen was involved with it besides the money grant. You'd think he'd actually enjoy geeking out on some of the details and be involved enough to either a) prevent mismanagement or b) have enough confidence i

Here's the one question/problem I see- How often do you really want to show someone something badly enough that you are willing to block your local dev environment to do so? I could see it working if you are interactively talking to someone

Great follow through. I kind of agree with you. I'm not sure what I'd use the data for, but I sure did enjoy looking back on where I was. My amusement outweighs my outrage.

I stand corrected. Man that is kind of messed up. Even if you support that net activity, which is essentially a public welfare, it doesn't belong in the tax code. I wonder if we'll ever see the day when all of this taxation complexity is u

There is no situation where you can make money from the tax system. At most you can only enjoy cashing in on tax losses against current tax liability. Getting a refund from your filing just means that you overpaid during the course of the y
