My Synology NAS coupled with a Squeeze Box service is fantastic. The Synology NAS does include the Squeeze Box service software that can easily be streamed and played seamlessly on your PC or on a physical Squeeze Box server. My wife and I

Agreed. It's hard to get your average consumer and investor excited about a product they cannot visualize. Kuddos on the Pebble project. It's an amazing product, and I can't wait to see you guys release to market. Cheers!

I for one would be more interested in general success rate. I'm not talking return on investment, but more so on how many projects actually come to fruition and deliver at any level. This is outside the fraudulent activity. It's more out

Agreed - that or a white board. A lot of times it helps to get out of the office if you hit a rut/wall. Just getting in a new environment and re-approaching the problem with a fresh perspective makes all the difference. I like to take long

I'm not opposed to bridge software; however, I'm always skeptical when I hear things like this. "Google says J2ObjC works with most build tools, including Xcode and Make, and that the translation from Java to Objective-C is totally automate

Developers need to treat mobile computing more like 1980/90s micro computing. You have limited resources with numerous environmental factors that need to be accounted for and respected (ex: bandwidth, latency, CPU, GPU, memory, UI/UX, async

One important point that hasn't been touched on is the neurological development that comes with age. It's not until your 20s does one's frontal cortex (or lobes) of the brain fully develop. Until this occurs one physically lacks the abilit

Looks like I'll be attempting to watch the live streams, again, this year.

I haven't moved from ATX to Bay Area, but some co-workers of mine have. Roughly speaking it's about 15-18% increase in cost of living from ATX to SF (overall). Unfortunately, my company was only willing to give 7% salary increase for reloc

I couldn't agree more. Being a Kindle owner, I was really excited with this proposal when it was initially pitched. Amazon took a great idea and implemented it horribly. It's not clear if this is the publishers or Amazon (out of fear from

I'll be taking a DSP and RF class soon - so, yes, I'll be able to go lower eventually :-) My background is in CS with the bare minimum of EE. For the most part, this is all new to me. I'll take a look at the sensor networks. Thanks again

In most of my course work to-date it's been with no OS and just a while (forever loop) driven by interrupt service routines. Currently, I use an AMTEL AVR 2560; however, I've heard good things about the TI ones. I honestly don't know where

Interesting. I'm considering doing the exact opposite (10 years web/server-side development - switching to embedded). Currently, I'm taking some extension engineering classes at UC Irvine while still working full-time. Any ideas on where

Same here. I got one from my wife for my birthday. I don't know if it's due to the shorter pages (reformatting layout), clear easy text, a battery that goes on forever, or just the excitement of a new gadget - regardless, I've already rea

Why is it that corporations, specifically Yahoo!, have a tendency to lay folks off right in the middle of the holidays? If I recall they had huge layoffs in '07 right before their infamous Xmas party. All this does is destroy morale, produc

I feel ashamed that I didn't realize Guy Steel did Scheme nor that he is the current Chairman of Common Lisp. Go figure. Anything Lisp related just immediately makes me think of McCarthy.
