Shopping Discoveries Product Search - pictorial browsing & comparison shopping

Why We Need More than more of same
http://senseof1place.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/why-we-need-more-than-more-of-same/
Today it was reported that Apple may build its own search iPhone-centric search engine to keep valuable iPhone-user search data out of the hands of Google: http://bit.ly/bqrk9z

Why would Apple produce another search engine? Google is the default search engine on the iPhone and data about what iPhone users are searching for can help Google tailor software and services for its own mobile smartphone.

But is just another search engine valuable to consumers?

I say that as consumers we need something more:

Think: what is the next step from search engines? What if you could have a “Transaction Engine” that would allow you to type in your search and that then takes the search results and places the information sourced from multiple places into a coherent answer – like a self-forming Wikipedia.

Imagine - you have a legal question and you can place your question into a Transaction Engine so that it could ask you questions, and form say an agreement, essay, advice, ... from multiple sources of information.

Consequently, the Transaction Engine also acts as a learning– teaching device. Our website at http://1place.com.au/ has a question/answer expert system. Expert systems are known. However, a Transaction Engine would allow users to draw from the masses of information on the net - quite a different tool, which would be valuable in many contexts.

Would this provide us with something more than another search engine – I believe that it would.
Ask HN: Can having students compete for a hyperloop pod design, achieve success?
I don't see how Elon is going to build the tube and then have students independently develop pods that they can just shove in Elon's tube and race against each other.

The proposed tubes in the whitepaper will cost upwards of $200 000. They also need to be carefully engineered to match the size and propulsion technologies as the tube.

How on Earth are student departments going to be able to afford anything of this scale or even be able to create something that could be inserted into a particular tube eventually? Not to mention that the technology is very out-there and I'd assume not within the realm of students or common engineers.

Ask HN: Making money as a graduate student
I am sure that many of you have been in this situation before. The short story is this: I am an international graduate student at an American University (a very good one). I have enough financial support to live (ie. the standard graduate student stipend), and have a small fellowship from my home country. However, I am finding myself annoyed by how little it adds up to after taking into account things like rent, the mandatory tuition fee deduction, health insurance, etc. Note that I am definitely not a big spender, and I am very careful with my money.

Due to my status as a foreigner, My options are very limited for pursuing additional funds. I am unable to apply for any US fellowship because they all require at least permanent residency. I am quite dismayed by this, since it seems like there are so many funding opportunities for US residents that they don't even know which ones to pursue. Furthermore, my visa status prohibits me from being employed other than my research assistantship position.

I believe that the underlying issue is that I don't believe that I am being adequately compensated for my skills. I am not being ungrateful - I am very happy to have the opportunity to study here, yet the situation is quite constraining. Perhaps this is the result of the academic philosophy of paying one's dues, and then reaping the rewards afterwords.

Have any of you found (legal) ways around this? For example, working in exchange for equity, finding other funding sources... I am curious to learn about interesting and creative ''hacks''.

Oh dear: BlackBerry exec's news appearance suggests RIM is clueless
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjrnjkpklz0
On the day of BlackBerry-maker RIM's most important release in years, BlackBerry 10, the company just showed how badly out of touch it is.

RIM's UK MD, Stephen Bates, appeared on a couple of high-profile BBC breakfast talk shows today. It was his opportunity to excite people who don't read the likes of Wired.co.uk and other tech-focussed publications. It was painful to hear; a theatrical demonstration of how excessive media training and a refusal to acknowledge the burning questions on public lips can be damaging to a brand."

Life on Earth shockingly comes from out of this world
https://www.llnl.gov/news/newsreleases/2013/Jun/NR-13-06-02.html
Early Earth was not very hospitable when it came to jump starting life. In fact, new research shows that life on Earth may have come from out of this world. Lawrence Livermore scientist Nir Goldman and University of Ontario Institute of Technology colleague Isaac Tamblyn (a former LLNL postdoc) found that icy comets that crashed into Earth millions of years ago could have produced life building organic compounds, including the building blocks of proteins and nucleobases pairs of DNA and RNA.

All of the New Economy western companies in the media and information business have failed to establish themselves in China."

Ask HN: I'm Looking for Information
Hello everyone!

Recently my colleagues and I have moved into the early stages of designing a fashion focused courier service. We are collecting data on online shopping habits that will really help us decide if such an idea is viable. Please leave any feedback you want here. Thanks guys!

http://goo.gl/forms/eTLh8H7Ws6
Ask HN: Please evaluate my reddit-clone
I've been thinking about putting a spin on social news and I decided to put up a prototype to test my idea.

The idea/twist is simply this: Use full sentences as a subreddit name.

So instead of subscribing to subreddits:

- worldnews

- technology

You would 'subscribe' to:

- I am interested in world news.

- I am interested in technology news.

You can subscribe to other 'full sentence' subreddits like:

- I love Star Trek.

- I need a student loan.

- I enjoy rock climbing.

- I am worried about the global economy.

Thus, submitting a link would look like:

- Title: Greek tremors continue to rock markets - CNN.com

- URL: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/05/05/...

- Target this link to people with this profile:

-- I am interested in world news.

-- I am interested in technology news.

-- I am worried about the global economy.

The difference may look minor, but I think it provides an interesting twist on submitting links.

For example, here's another possible submission:

- Title: Star Trek club is more than ‘stereotypical nerds’

- URL: http://www.cw.ua.edu/2010/04/22/star-trek-club-is-more...

- Target this link to people with this profile:

-- I love Star Trek.

-- I enjoy rock climbing.

If you want to play around with submitting a link, you can use any of these demo accounts:

hn_demo1

hn_demo2

hn_demo3

hn_demo4

Google Glass: 8000 Units to ship later this year
