I'm glad to see Stewart finally give this issue some coverage. I actually think the more interesting part of this bit was his montage of Daily Show clips using "copyrighted" content. It really underscores the importance of fair use and the

The site is running kind of slow so I just did the first couple levels... The directions (e.g. forward vs left) were a little confusing as you can't tell which way the character is facing at first. Not a problem after level 1 though. I seco

I was just working on something like this for a coding competition. Players submit code to compete head to head. Sandboxing is required to prevent players from modifying the game state and/or the other players' state. That's just one exampl

Exactly. Here's what the US copyright office says[1]... "Copyright does not protect the idea for a game, its name or title, or the method or methods for playing it. Nor does copyright protect any idea, system, method, device, or trademark m

Here's the part I find interesting. YouTube's content filtering system would have required UMG to upload a copy of the video (or at least have a copy on hand to generate the fingerprint)... "YouTube has engineered a filtering system enablin

This was more of a teaser for a future talk and contains very little data that's relevant from a development / design perspective. The only interesting stats are on a slide at 4:30 where he talks a little about the data model and shows a fe

This is fantastic! I've been hoping for something like this for quite some time. Any plans for an android version? I'm also curious - how does it fetch metadata for songs? It looks like it all happens on demand from the app. I've got about

More than likely it goes right back into user acquisition (ads) to drive more traffic to their games.

I hope this encourages Dropbox to venture further into streaming services. I store my entire music library in Dropbox, but I've never come across a feasible way to access that media on the go / from my mobile devices. On the other hand, Clo

"...one day your washing machine, stove, or even car infotainment system will run on webOS"[1] If this is truly the direction they're heading then webOS is dead to me anyhow. Any further courting of developers is just salt in the wound. edi

WebOS has always been the most impressive mobile OS IMO, it's just never had a competent owner or decent hardware to back it up. I hope they do something with it. This, of course, is coming from one of the suckers that paid $599 for a Tou

One of my favorites is The Fog of War (2003) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_fog_of_war Besides being an incredible individual, I found Robert McNamara's lessons to be surprisingly relevant to the startup world.

We tried this at our old office -- wasn't a huge fan. It tends to bubble up and doesn't erase well. Our new office heavily uses IdeaPaint, and assuming you can swallow the cost, it's an infinitely better solution.

This article doesn't seem to mention anything about an actual arrest, it just says he agreed to meet with / surrender to police. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2010/dec/07/wikileaks-us... That article seems to have a bit more info, b

I believe most mobile devices already have unique device IDs built in. Perhaps they're not accessible through JavaScript, but it sounds like this technology already goes beyond the web browser anyways.

It is, but you're paying for the player / CMS / advertising tools as well. It's a lot more than just a CDN.

They really glossed over the sound, which is one of the more painful aspects of a Linux HTPC in my opinion. If you're planning on usual digital audio instead of stereo sound, be prepared for a rather nasty battle.

I always recommend Brightcove ( http://www.brightcove.com ). It's relatively cheap and has an amazing feature set. Everything is customizable and accessible via an API and even works in sans-Flash environments like the iPhone.

We have this at my office and I'm not a huge fan. Mostly because the little air bubbles are really annoying and nearly impossible to avoid. The surface also doesn't clean up that well. Very much prefer ideapaint - http://www.ideapaint.com

First of all, this article is three years old. Second of all, Marilee Jones blatantly lied about her credentials for 28 years. Yes, she did a fantastic job while she was at MIT, but that doesn't change the fact that she lied. This is not an
