They are very well positioned and have the funds. Somehow though they will need to connect all these 'Toyota' brands. I don't think they have as yet managed to do this.

The amazing thing about it is that it is an 'answers engine'. Unlike web search engines, it does not try to return relevant web pages to a particular search term. It treats your query as a question and attempt to compute an answer. Its inte

IANAL, but this article makes it sound like it would not be illegal to buy one and then circumvent whatever DRM scheme they've likely implemented to capture the raw data and use it however you want. Based on the article, they will have a

In true hacker spirit I would have farted when he slurped and tell him that is ... our custom:) On a more serious note your letter is not a good idea. In general any anonymous letter is not a good idea. Put a signature and offer to help him

Kurzweil is a bit optimistic on timing. His predictions will come through probably at: 2010 + (2020-2010)*PI Not sure if I will be around :), or he for that matter!

One of his quotes 'Every time a new browser version is released, anything built on them has to be re-tested due to an inexplicable reliance on the user agent string'. Not really most libraries use feature testing, especially jQuery and John

Nice application, unfortunately the icon sets IMHO need to be expanded! I also got reservations about hotlinking. Why not download? It will make your pages faster. Even better download and turn them into CSS sprites.

Yes, is not so hard to add a few extra lines of code and a couple of fields in the DB, but I think going with an outside comment system makes integration with twitter etc. so much easier and less maintenance in the future. Thanks for the l
