IMHO adding the new camera angle is only half the battle. The other really important half is having a director that can use that angle to add value to the viewer.

I know. Hockey games are a great spectator sport in person. I'm always surprised by just how TALL the players are. Great atheletes, fast moving sport. The GoPro cameras should bring more of that excitement over the "air-waves.&quo

Its true. I think the Winter Classic is another example of the League branching out into new territory and making the game exciting for a wider audience. Not to mention how the lockout made the game more competitive and exciting to watch. W

I think Bono is out of touch with what the average iTunes user wants to say the least.

The iOS/OSX source code is proprietary to Apple. You wouldn't be able to see it unless you worked at Apple and had proper access.

Indeed. I was downvoted for bringing this source to the conversation. I don't see how it's not highly relevant to the conversation. I urge everyone to read all reports though with a grain of salt and read reports from all sides.

Indeed I realize that this is Russia Media. I've been monitoring information as it goes by on twitter trying to make the best sense I can of the situation. This report is dated June 29 which is interesting.

Alternate speculation http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_06_29/Donetsk-militia-tak... Air-To-Air Missile seems highly unlikely. Rumors abound that Militia groups were bragging about downing a Ukrainian Transport

There are Market Makers on IEX. Look at the Brokers at the end of this list: http://www.iextrading.com/services/ Virtu, SUN, etc. They are market makers.

Does anyone have expertise on whether there are any regulations on proper storage of government data? Does anyone know how an agency like the IRS would store their company email and if their claim is a feasible possibility?

They could probably get more value out of the bitcoins by selling them slowly in the market rather than issuing a block sale. That's like Ackman running to the market and yelling for sale 20,000,000 shares of JCP. He instead slowly acq

Well needless to say this is good news for SpaceX which will probably accelerate their plans for a dragon capsule that can carry passengers.

I don't think the locations are random. I checked zerohedge.com and all around it were "buy gold" and other end of the world finance sites. Seemed like too much of a coincidence if the sites were randomly mapped out.

That's a poignant observation. Just on my front page, 5/20 apps can send direct messages.

I think you need to trust Einhorn on this one. The author Alex Willhelm sounds like quite the apologist for the tech and venture industries. I'm not going to get into the technical details of the valuations because Einhorn does a much

Yeah. I work in this building and it terrifies me everyday. It does sway in the wind. You can hear the walls creek when the winds are high. Besides the complete fear that is instilled in my heart because this building was built in a flawed

Yes. Kind of a good example how competitive systems lead to a better end result for customers. Competitive teaching is something we should actually encourage. Tyler Cowen often argues how the availability of systems to teach to a huge numbe

If you submit a buy order for 10 shares of GOOG through a conventional retail website like ScottTrade or ETrade your order is going to be sent to an HFT firm that buys flow from from these retail websites. If it's a limit order the HFT

The most obvious and simplest thing wrong with open outcry and human market makers is the number of specialists that it takes to handle a full universe of stocks. A small electronic trading team can provide/take liquidity in 8000 stock

Really good question. I haven't seen something stay on the top spot of the front page for this long in a while. 1. It naturally has a great difficulty curve. 2. It feeds right into the kind of logic and algorithms that people on hacker

Hey efuquen we pretty much wrote the same thing at the same time. We should be friends. In all honesty, we need to ask ourselves what we can practically do within the current framework that can push the government towards what we want. Less

That's a poignant observation that we didn't have to experience a crisis of social, governmental, or financial instability, but we did experience 9/11. 9/11 is the catalyst that pushed a lot of this surveillance over the

Not one person has mentioned in the comments the fact that 3D printing something takes a LONG time. Not exactly the kind of machine that you are going to put on an assembly line. Probably much more effective for printing large prototypes. J
