I'll give you a point for that - my lunchtime project was beans on toast and a cup of tea.

Yeah! I agree I think its a bit bold to say that Google 'corrected' "brandi spears" to "britney spears" - there almost certainly are numerous "brandi spears"...

Actually, it seems these are only the spelling stats for misspelling 'britney' - every single 'spears' is spelt correctly. I was expecting to at least see 'britney speares' listed.

For me it is rewarding to here these findings written on paper. I am forever generating ideas and am continuously faced with awkard silences as people are not sure whether to laugh or congratulate me - it seems true, many people are unable

I think finding your individual recipe for a good night sleep is really important. From what I have read people seem to have their own patterns etc. If the app also had some kind of feedback/tuning system so you could use it as a tool to fi

I think Berlin is a great choice - better than London. Berlin is developing and changing quickly and seems to be setting the scene for a perfect startup hub: lots of bright young people and cheap offices (cheap everything relative to the re

Great stuff! I would add my company, but there is not point - I have no patents! I think until we see Microsoft, Google, Oracle and Apple on that list it wont be worth much.... and if we do see Apple on that list, would be believe them? and

The problem with implementing this idea is which technology would actually have to be built, and in which technology the real value would lie. Once the technology is established, scanning videos, tv, radio etc for any source of spoken audio

I used to work for a company that built Speech Recognition systems and I came up with a similar/related idea - the idea being to take a load of videos of barack obama (for example), and create an accurate 'voice print'. Once done, any video

Very interesting. In a similar vein, automated language translation could be assisted too - beacuase a film DVD often has different audio and subtitle languages, so it would be possible to pair up semantically similar audio and written cont

Very Impressive! I've been working on a number of 'content extraction' tools - cQuery.com and webXtract (experimental), but maybe you would find them a useful way to extract news and headlines from hundreds of online sources. Here is an exp

VMWare have started Screwing their Customers? Thats quite a diversion from virtualized operating systems. Does it scale?

It would be really great if the buttons had two headphone jacks for sharing with somebody...

That is a BRILLIANT IDEA! Such a great way to swap/share music with people too. I hope it takes off.

I am currently building/have built a web-based spreadsheet with a really unique approach - something that Excel does not and can not do. I will be presenting this at the Seedcamp in London later in the year. I am really exciting about the p

...I'm using Femtoo to track when new JQuery releases are published - the front page of the website says 1.6.2, but the current release is still listed as 1.6.1 - I'm a bit too quick for them!

I 100% completely agree with the article. ORM's are dangerous. ORM's solve a problem we dont really have, but introduce a whole load of new problems we never had before (lazy loading does not work, object relations work completley different

Following on from the idea of Google offering account access for different security levels, would also be great if you could label an email as 'bank', 'money' or 'personal' and these emails, photos and calendar items would only be visible w

I like the idea - but please do not confuse this with security. While the canary might be activated, all of your genuine information has also been compromised. I have thought about the security issues with gmail, especially for mobile devic

Awesome - so could you run a web-server from within the browser? Would it be possible to connect to an instance of jslinux remotely?

Sorry, should have summarized changes: 1.6.1 addresses backwards compatibility issues with new 'attr()' and 'prop()' behaviour added in 1.6. This means that code written against 1.5.2 will work 100% against 1.6.1 (this was not the case with

Email is broken and ugly. We are constantly trying to bend email to be a useful productivity tool - to me the idea of filtering emails by text found in the subject for example as a way of organizing/categorizing emails demonstrates just one
