Windows Phone 7 ‘sending phantom data’
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/microsoft/8252023/Windows-Phone-7-sending-phantom-data.html
Microsoft is investigating reports that some handsets running its Windows Phone 7 software are sending and receiving ‘phantom data’, which phone operators are then wrongly charging customers for.
Ask HN: Landing VC / Angel Funding in the South
I'm in Louisiana and I'm looking to get started on an idea of mine, and we don't even need that much funding to get started, yet I know it's going to be very difficult to find down here. Bootstrapping is not really an option, currently.

Are there any funding success stories from the deep south that anyone is willing to share?
Ask HN: Torontonians Looking for people to discuss an idea
Looking for some people to talk over an idea I have.

No team currently but just a few friends that I've shared the idea with, a prototype could be built with <4 months of work but it wouldn't be easy, hardware requirements as well.

I'm Toronto ON based but I'm willing to travel to meet :), coffee or bubble tea would be great

Where I'm going : wouldn't mind applying to YC with a nice team
Who I am: I have pretty good experience, I'd be very happy to share my LinkedIn once we connect

I just recently launched a new product concept on Kickstarter (my first one). It is a low cost, simple AirPlay enabled receiver that is 40% cheaper than any other AirPlay device on the market. I'm not getting the traction I was hoping for, and I'd love some feedback as to why that is. Also, any suggestions or improvements would be greatly appreciated.

In today's competitive financial environment you need to be armed with the best information possible in order to succeed in business. To that end, we at eBizMBA here provide you with the Top 25 Business Websites ranked by a combination of Inbound Links, Google Page Rank, Alexa Rank, and U.S. traffic data from Compete and Quantcast. For entries where a wide range exists between the two data sets the highest numbers were used for ranking purposes.

DIY Seedbox server (Remote Online BitTorrent Client)
http://barracudadrive.net/blog/2010/11/How-to-Setup-Your-Own-Remote-Online-BitTorrent-Client
Most people using Bittorrent have a hard time uploading (seeding) from home because their upload speeds are severely crippled.

This causes torrents to upload slowly and gives bad ratios at private tracker sites.

One way to get around this problem, and other problems associated with P2P is to setup your own private sedboox server.

The blog post shows how to set up your own $5 a month "remote control" online BitTorrent client.
Mind-controlled prosthetics to help amputees
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21028105.000-mindcontrolled-prosthetics-to-help-amputees.html
Monkeys are being trained to control what might be the world's most sophisticated and human-like robot arm. But they never touch the prosthetic limb or fiddle with a remote control: they guide it with their thoughts alone. If trials are successful, in a few months from now people with spinal cord injuries could learn to do the same.
I created a sub-Reddit to help form local groups to facilitate remote learning
Hello All,

I created a subreddit /r/donate_a_computer to help donate computers to those students who cannot afford computers for remote learning.

Why I started this sub-reddit? After reading multiple online articles(from the UK) about the digital divide(mostly related to education) that has surfaced during the lockdown I decided to start this sub-reddit. Imagine if a developed country like the UK is facing this problem, then what will be the situation of developing and under-developed countries. The bubbling-up of the digital divide issue during the lockdown period is not just related to the UK. It is worst in many other countries. This sub-reddit is to help bridge the digital divide.

Due to the lockdown schools have started teaching kids remotely. But many students do not have the means for remote education(even in developed countries). Even dedicated teachers are struggling with remote teaching.

To help kids and their teachers, please donate computers or your services to help kids with remote learning. Form your local groups/communities using this sub-reddit.

I hope this sub-reddit will help bridge the gap between the students who can and cannot afford computers and or internet for remote learning.

Thank you.
It’s Not Easy Selling Managed Services
http://www.itchannelinsight.com/2011/05/selling-managed-services/
MSPs are finding that there has been so much talk of the “Cloud” lately that perceptions are becoming somewhat hazy. Take for example Microsoft’s latest commercials, where “to the cloud” means anything but cloud computing – Microsoft presents the cloud as a place to edit photos, record TV shows and other desktop tasks – it’s all a little bit ridiculous. Ultimately, Microsoft is marginalizing MSPs by misinforming the public.

World’s oldest working digital computer reboots at Bletchley Park
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2225901/world-s-oldest-digital-computer-reboots-at-bletchley-park
THE WORLD'S OLDEST working digital computer, the Harwell Dekatron or 'Witch' will be rebooted today at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park.

The Witch is being rebooted at Bletchley Park after a three year restoration project. It was originally built in 1951, is 2 metres high and Unlike today's computers the Witch is something of an event machine, and its fitting that you can go and see it in a museum. It has 828 flashing Dekatron valves, 480 relays and a bank of paper tape readers.
Clever (YC S12) is looking for full-stack engineers – help change the classroom
K-12 schools have a huge problem using software. This problem is technical, rather than ideological - teachers want to use great learning applications, but they can’t get them to synchronize properly with the legacy school systems that house their students’ data.

Clever (YC S12 - clever.com) is solving this problem by building a modern, developer-friendly API for schools… which we give them for free. Schools love finally being able to use software seamlessly, and developers love being able to plug into schools without having to write a complex integration for every single district they’re working with, so they pay us for access to the platform. This business model has helped us grow quickly; we’re now in 1 in 5 schools in America (over 30,000 schools); our product is used by millions of students every day; and we've just raised a $30M Series B round: http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2014/12/16/clever-raises...

Our goal is to become the education identity company. The first step in that direction is our Instant Login single sign-on platform: a universal login that allows students to access all of their learning applications in one place. (This is a big deal if you’ve ever seen a second-grader try to manage fifteen different usernames and passwords.)

Right now we’re a team of 42 people (19 engineers) based in downtown San Francisco. We’re looking for full-stack engineers who can hack in Node, Go, and Python (or are willing to learn), but more importantly, we’re looking for people who share our passion for improving education. If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you.

Other stuff we like:

-Tech talks. Every other Tuesday, we do “Clever Talks” during lunch where one of us will give a presentation on anything he/she’s interested in. Recent talks have covered exoplanets, neuroscience, hacking big-company customer service interactions, and what’s wrong with American high school history education.

-Bughouse chess. We play pretty frequently, although not always with Magnus Carlsen: http://screencast.com/t/xD7umWfo

-Picking up new skills. We offer unlimited Amazon credits for learning.

Check us out: https://clever.com/about/jobs

At Clever, we want to work with the best people - applicants of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome to come improve education with us. We're committed to making our office a safe and comfortable environment for all employees.

At the moment, a user can:
play audio filss
play video files
search for songs/albums/artists
can create playlists (not Subsonic playlists but a specific format)
shuffle songs

We plan to add some missing features that where not so critical right now like:
progress bar for audio playback
skipping inside a while file playing it
use the random songs feature of Subsonic
save/load playlists to Subsonic

Apple App Store Now Has Quality and Quantity
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/02/apple-app-store-now-has-quality-and-quantity/
The app industry is continuing to dominate the mobile world. With Android’s numbers continuing to grow rapidly both in terms of phones and apps, Apple has to stay ahead of the game somehow. As of now, Apple remains the unchallenged king of apps with 200,000 apps and counting. The Android Market, with its 20,000 apps cannot compare, but it is growing rapidly, which apparently had the Apple Folks worrying a little.

Show HN: Nodu, a minimalist personal development / productivity app
https://nodu.dliff.com/
Nodu is a minimalist personal development app that helps you stay focused on long-term goals, day by day. Every morning you decide what you will do and what you will not do by swiping away objectives and only keeping ones you want to focus on for the day. Throughout the day you can mark items as complete and check on what objectives remain.

I built Nodu to use myself (and to get my feet wet with SwiftUI). After reaching a V1, I decided to release it to the public.

Show HN: Simple, collaborative learning
http://learntribe.com
I'm a long time HN lurker, and wanted to show a side project that I recently started working on that I think has some merit.

If you're an avid learner who is working on lots of different topics at any given time, as I know most HN folks are, you know that keeping track of what you are learning, the resources (books, tutorials, articles, courses, etc), and your progress along the way is difficult to do. LearnTribe solves this problem by providing a social way to organize and track your learning efforts.

I'd especially appreciate some honest, but constructive criticism about the concept and implementation. Note that the site is lacking a real design treatment (mood, colors, logo, etc) and needs a look at UX. I'm hunting for a design partner to take the project to the next level.

For many Linux users, a common task is to manage and deploy dot files for different users on many hosts. Many people are using Git to manage the dot files, but how to deploy them is still a question.

Google-funded startup to offer free Wi-Fi in San Francisco
http://www.theregister.com/2007/08/15/meraki_expands_in_sanfrancisco/
Now, a Google-funded startup is announcing an alternate plan to bathe the 49-square-mile city in Wi-Fi. It comes at a fraction of the cost, doesn't require the city to commit to anything, and employs hardware that's likely to outperform anything Earthlink can provide. It may prove to be a fatal blow to Mayor Gavin Newsom's already struggling plan to bridge the digital divide.
