Yes, it's true. Patent defense is why Google initially invested. However, once they started enforcement, Google withdrew all further support.[1] [1] http://www.geekwire.com/2014/apple-microsoft-patent/

I like the idea of your PhotoShopNext, but the video at the bottom has been marked private. Also Antigen looks like a fun game. Any plans for an android port?

I'm not saying we have to go back to the farming practices of over 100 years ago, by plowing with oxen and using night soil for fertilizer. You're creating a straw man argument. We need to use technology like GMO to work with natu

I gave Dark Sky an honest shot for a few weeks, but their reliability was atrocious. Could you please explain what is responsible for your "unbroken faith"? Is there something about the idea, app, or people that I'm missing h

True, but you have to download the malicious app from the app store. Here Google has a good track record of removing them from their store. Also, the user can exercise some common sense by not installing apps from untrusted sources. If the

Agreed, placing all the blame on Google is not fair. Besides Google, carriers, and manufactures, there's one more party involved that no one seems to talk about, users. Google only promises to update their software for 18 months. If y

Turing is also one of my heroes too, but that doesn't mean I have to worship every idea of his. As you pointed out the problem with the Turing Test is that IS as imprecise or unproductive. This would be fine if decades of serious AI re

A mother with her cub was hit by a car in front of my house when I was a kid. The mother didn't make it, so we raised the raccoon in our home. For the first couple years it was a better pet than our dogs and cat. After the second year,

What real world experience does Allen Holub have with compiler design? As far as I can tell, he has not contributed to gcc, LLVM,or written any toy compilers like TCC.

When the government needs to make cuts, science, education, and technology R&D should be the last to go. Solyndra is another great example of how they demonized a R&D program designed to encourage energy independence. Instead of los

Realtek provided a rock solid, stable, GPLv2 driver. The "proper" driver is a piece of shit, requiring a reboot after a few minutes of use. They shouldn't have changed the driver interface, leaving people like my parents with
