As an owner of a Windows Mobile 6 phone, I am hoping that 7 is also a magic number for their mobile OS as well. I can certainly agree that the move from XP to 7 and Vista to 7 was excellent.

To anyone who is getting one: I would really like to know how well it works. It is cheaper than the Zeo, so it is attractive. However, I don't feel as confident in the technology it uses to detect sleep patterns as the Zeo technology, so

I had heard Apple got its name from the story about an apple hitting Newton's head, though this site doesn't mention it. I also heard a, less credible, rumour that it had to do with Turing instead of Newton because the Apple logo has a bite

Tell yourself you're going to do it, trick yourself into thinking you're going to do it, and then actually do it. I get the most work done when I feel like I "fit the bill" for what someone who is about to get a lot of work done is like. S

If I take melatonin I find I wake up still feeling quite groggy the next morning...or if I take less than a pill (i.e. half) I feel like nothing is different. Furthermore, it would make sense to have the body behaving naturally. Suppose, b

One thing that excites me when I worry about the US losing its status is how competitive young people are. College admissions are absurd, and good grades are a necessity. People take the SAT several times just to get a slightly higher sco

I feel like there is a lot my bank could be doing but isn't. Most of it relates to technology. First, I think a decent web interface for my money would be nice. The bank wont let me have 20 checking accounts, but it would be nice if I cou

I haven't heard of any email harvesters getting around my Email Icon Generator (yes, it is the original!). Just enter your email and it gives you an image of your email address to link to. http://services.nexodyne.com/email/

Initially I had my bets on Twitter following a Second Life trend: small initial adoption, media sensation, explosive growth, People losing interest, relative obscurity. I still think it will happen that way, but only when the next big thin

You probably wouldn't like Charles Dodge very much either. There are some people that really get into this though, check out Computer Music Journal. Trust me, from the few tracks I listened to, this is some of the more listenable computer

Found a bug/easter egg: If you zoom all the way out and center Elton John at the top of your screen, then zoom in to the middle zoom level, you can see a map for TV shows as well. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2796/tvmap.png

When I really listen to a few songs, at certain parts, I get an intense tingly feeling all over my body that feels awesome. Yes - Close to the Edge (when the organs come in) Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (the finale) These two do it basically

Electricity, the power grid... Right now I'm pretty sure power companies can't tell you if the power is on at your house or not...The system is pretty old.

This seems like it might have some similarities to sine wave speech synthesis. Of course, its far more impressive with a real piano. http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Sine-wave_speech

Do the British use the word "hiring" instead of renting? "The people are poor, many of them out of work, often hiring a bunch of DVDs as a cheap way of passing the time."

Does any one have any idea why there would be 14 "rays" coming off each of the bigger stars? Also, Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope is one of the best "Google Earth for outer space" things I've seen. http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/

I tried for a while (unsuccessfully) to get any sort of graphics working with Lisp. Do any of the games in here use graphics? I feel like some really awesome "math art" could be made with Lisp.

Thanks for pointing me to this. I had heard of the Singularity University, but not the summit. Hopefully they have videos posted online of the event...right now two months rent is not available to spend on a conference, very unfortunately.
