Why say it when it's already mentioned several times in the post? I'll wait for the report, in the meantime I'm interested in qualified speculation based on the available data.

You can have both. If you put your working directory in Dropbox you will have a copy of your uncommitted work as well. Also, in many cases it is easier for a graphic designer or just a customer to put stuff in a Dropbox folder that will syn

One advantage is near-instant sync between many computers. With a VCS you have to push and pull manually or set up some complicated cron jobs to automate it.

I would like to add a big BUT though - if home or even in-store 3D printers take off and "just works" I believe there will be a huge opportunity for a marketplace like this. So maybe this will be a prime buy candidate for Makerbot

Your right, Shapeways has got it right. I think this idea is more like Bill Gates trying to sell his BASIC to the homebrew computer club.

I think the iTunes comparison is that it has DRM and you can only print one of each item. I think it's a little early for this kind of service though. The ones who like to tinker with 3D printers will be lukewarm to the DRM stuff, whil

I could see why sellers would want it, and by extension customers would want it if some really beautiful models were for sale. Ref Shapeways vs thingiverse. I'm not sure now is the right time for it though, just like iTunes would have

Actually, I think a good idea would be a 99designs kind of service. Maybe not today, but as 3D printing matures, there's going to be more people who just want to print somehthing custom or some broken part, than there are people willin

There isnt an advantage other than adding a DRM layer so you can't print as many as you like. It says in the help page that you can restart the print as many times as you like, but after 80% you have to mail them to get another try. Th

Back when they the Halloween documents leaked, they were found guilty of violating antitrust laws, made up studies to undermine Linux and took out full page ads? Like pg mentioned in an article, it's easy today to forget how powerful a

Not only that, it seems they will match your phone number if any of your friends upload their contact list to Facebook.

Exactly. It's strange how people think there must be either 100% correlation or none at all.

It's more like risk vs gain. There was a lot of testing and previous experience leading up to the 777 launch ETOPS rating. A better example is the 787 battery system. Likewise, you want to be very certain that the new electrical motor

You can just look at Apple design pre and post Steve's return just to see how big an impact having him around had. Suddenly Jony Ive had someone to play ball with.

Well he did design the Mac calculator: http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Calculator_Constr... Steve certainly didn't just "approve" designs, he offered a lot of input as well.

I don't see why not, but you would need a machine with a built in pod dispenser to make coffee "unattended" The machine in the article grinds coffee beans.

How indeed, but people smoke and stuff their mouths full of unhealthy food even if they know it can kill them. Humans aren't always 100% rational beings. When they suddenly get cancer (ie actual proof) they wake up. Also, this isn&#x27

Have you even read the order? It calls for all CDRs to be handed over. If you had read up on the abuses of the patriot act, including giving telephone companies retroactive immunity so they could not be prosecuted, you would understand some

Do you have a link to the whitepaper? I'm in the same boat as you. I email with most of my friends and family.

Regardless of whether it's wrong, I think it's fair to say that Twitter would not have been as successful without the help of an open protocol and third party clients. So it was a bit unfair to all the people who wrote clients and helped Tw

Well I don't see a need for having a knitting machine at home either, but I can certainly see why some people would (even non-techies!) and maybe that more people would be interested in them if they improved in price and features.

The third option is: Cell phones can in remote circumstances cause interference, but seldom enough to warrant banning all electronic devices with the massive revenue loss that would ensue. Likewise people are still allowed to bring lithium

Actually, that's not being cynical. A lot of engineering brainpower goes to the oil industry since it is so big. Almost any engineering company has oil and gas companies as their biggest customers. In comparison, hydroelectric is mainly mai

I think the right question to ask is whether the service is improving peoples lives or not. Social networks are useful and improves life in many ways, but their mission is to maximize sharing, user engagement to drive ad revenue, regardless

A quick google search reveals a study including a case where the pilot in cooperation with the passenger identified his laptop as causing interference on navigation instruments. Is it really too much to ask to do a quick Google search?
