"While certain media outlets continue to claim that regular cell phone use is unlikely to cause brain cancer, you should know that Interphone found "heavy users" of cell phones were found to have an approximately doubled risk of glioma, a life threatening and often-fatal brain tumor, after 10 years of cell phone use.

What was the definition of a heavy user?

About two hours … a month!

When this study was conducted (1999-2004), cell phone use had not yet exploded to the extent it has today. Now, the results are clearly outdated, because in the decade that's passed since the study was begun, cell phone use has grown exponentially and it is not at all unusual for people to use a cell phone for two hours or more a day!

What this means is that if you use your cell phone for two hours a month or more, you may be doubling your risk of a potentially fatal brain tumor. Use your cell phone significantly more than that, and your risk is likely much, much higher."

Every invention is always invented with the most basic features in mind. That is why when the mobile phone was first invented; the cosmetic features were pretty much ignored. It was a heavy, ugly looking device that just performed the basic functions of making and receiving phone calls and satellite signals.
I'm similarly curious about where the bookmark toolbar is going to end up. Chrome puts it inside the tab, which kinda breaks the idea of conceptual encapsulation if one uses it to open new tabs as much as to control the current one. I dislike Chome's placement so much I barely even use bookmarks there, whereas in Firefox the bookmark toolbar is my most used bookmark interface with a dozen nameless favicons for the most used sites and just as many folders to organize the rest. It long ago pushed the menu bar off the screen entirely, taking its place above the navigation bar.
for some reason the search results navigation shortcuts never left google's lab; it's been there for years
"word of mouth will kill the phone"

Whenever we hear a prediction about "word of mouth" stunting the sales of an Apple product, we have to take that statement with an iPhone-sized grain of salt. Word of mouth doesn't hurt recent Apple products. The Gizmodo "leaks" were word of mouth about this particular phone and Apple sold 1,000,000 phones today.

If you will think back a few months, "word of mouth" was that the 27-inch iMac had screen problems. That "word of mouth" amounted to thousands of posts on the Apple support site. Apple simply fixed/replaced the machines with problems, improving their reputation as a make-good company. I haven't heard any "word of mouth" about the iMac lately because the customers are satisfied and the FUD has evaporated.

When these iPhone problems are resolved, this entire thread will dry up and blow away in the wind.

Yes, the Firefox UX team is working on more radical solutions for dealing with lots of tabs, too.

One such experiment is http://azarask.in/projects/tabcandy/ - but be warned, this is a rough sketch. It's not clear what shape it will ultimately take, or when it will be ready for production. (That's why we haven't been publicizing it.) The current concept/demo isn't something we are planning to ship yet, but I wanted to point it out anyway because it's so relevant to your comment. Hopefully with this disclaimer Aza won't be too mad at me for linking to his work before it's ready. :)
They should create an app for that. Seriously.
The user is being asked to compensate for the laws of reality.

It's a hand sized device that you hold in your hand. Some holding positions will shield the antenna. As various people and videos show, this is also the case with iPhone 3Gs, iPhone originals and other phone makes and models.

And anyway, they're not being forced to tolerate the intolerable, they can always return the phone and buy a different one.
Why bother re-branding? Visa must not put much faith in this venture, or at least wants to retain the option to dump it.
I think it is an usage specific to the UK.

Use of a plural verb after a singular noun denoting a group of
persons (known as a noun of multitude) is commoner in the U.K. than

Lower Eyelid Surgery - The only way to defy the physics of aging
Lower eyelid surgery is often the long-awaited solution for those who believe that looking older is not welcome in most people's social lives. If you are "starting over" or getting back into the dating scene, it's common to become extra self-conscious about your looks and the age-related changes you see. Major life events such as weddings may motivate you to seek lower eyelid surgery to finally have the appearance you see in your mind's eye be reflected in your mirror.
I think using structural elements as part of the antenna is quite common, it's making them visible and touchable by the user that's new.
In various papers I had to write in college, I'd tend to base them on space probes whenever possible. A great excuse to read journal articles about the Lunar Prospector mission and so on.

Chrome lets you throw such pages out into their own window with no browser navigation controls, and it helpfully puts a shortcut to that experience in your choice of locations. ("Create application shortcuts...")

I think I recall some talk that this might be going away in future versions. But I certainly hope not, as it helps cloudify the desktop rather nicely when you stop seeing such web applications as only existing in browser-like windows.
wow, quite the rant about... um... semicolons. yeah, ok, I only skimmed. much more interesting things out there.
Add my thanks too for mentioning the tree style tab extension. I've been using tabmix plus and arranging all my tabs in rows, but a tree view makes so much more sense.

It's a shame you feel that way, but down-voting the truth is not going to fix your economy, un-pollute your oceans nor end your wars.

They do (likely, several). The article notes that they replicated the flipped bit that was causing the issue, and demonstrated that it caused the same symptoms.
Google Chrome already allows you to do this by right-clicking a tab and clicking "pin tab". It's kind of pointless in its current form, like a awkward hybrid of bookmarks and tabs.

I'd like to see some sort of notification system added to the icons of pinned tabs (like icon badges in Mac OS X) so you could see how many unread items you have in Gmail, Google Reader, etc.

No idea how you'd go about implementing such an idea though.
Will the new iphone4 antenna reduce dropped calls? Not looking like it
Ah yes, the "lets put window close button on the left" debacle. That old chestnut.
And if I were an investor, I would be wondering what the FUCK they were doing shipping a product with as big a flaw as this.

This is shit that should have been corrected in the DESIGN stage.
As an artist myself, I fully understand this.
S-PLUS objects reside on the hard drive whereas R's are stored entirely in memory. So R is faster for smaller computations but runs against limitations when the data sets are large, though you can use the bigmemory library or store your data in external databases - e.g., SQLite or PostgreSQL and pull off chunks as you need them. R also had a much more extensive library but I heard that S-PLUS (as of version 8) made their program compatible with R so that R's libraries could be used in S-PLUS. Also, R has lexical scoping; I think S-PLUS only has global and local like Matlab. I personally like lexical scoping so can't think of cases when you'd find S-PLUS's scope definition advantageous.
Added; thanks for the input!
I've always wondered about the design flaw of keeping the buttons on the phone below the screen, making it next to impossible to hold the phone with one hand and use the thumb to press the buttons.
If you flipped it upside down it was easy to use the thumb though. (actually I still have a button phone, but I figure that everyone reading this thread will have a more modern type of phone..)
Isn't there a bit of self selection and typical Google pseudo-science going on with this approach? You can't get in the door of Google without a particular baseline standard resume. This is Fried's entire point, that he would actually consider a high school dropout whereas Google will not. It's a disagreement as to the relevance of a resume which is, for all intents and purposes, an abstraction of a person. Fried argues to skip over the abstraction and go straight to judging the person.

There is an entire group of people that the likes of Google simply will not look at and so it makes their results a little less substantive. Here are folks that would never get hired at Google in their 24 year old form:

-John Carmack

-Bill Gates

-Steve Jobs

-Larry Ellison

-Paul Allen

-Michael Dell

If Marissa Meyer truly believes she's found a statistically significant predictor, then I urge her to hire people without doing any interviews. She won't, because she knows it's more pseudo-science from Google. I wish more people would call them out on this kind of logic. They have a particular knack for marketing local maxima as the global kind.
Well, even in the sidebar, with enough things, you can still have to scroll. It just looks nicer when you do.
You can check out the lattice, ggplot2, scatterplot3d and rgl libraries to see how R handles multivariate data - R is especially well suited for analyzing panel (longitudinal) data with multiple variables.
Google apparently runs R on desktops (http://dataspora.com/blog/predictive-analytics-using-r/) and ports it to Python or C++ once their ideas are tested (for production code). Having said that if your list of functions are growing, try packaging up in a library - there are many tutorials available on the web. If your data is becoming big, try using RHIPE (Hadoop integration), bigmemory, snow, or a number of other packages:

One word: patents. This is why I believe schools should require more rigorous legal training of engineering and computer science graduates. I've met too many engineers (one would be too many) who, when confronted with potential IP issues, say "who cares anyway?" Since Mozilla wants to distribute a free product to millions of users in the US, they have to care about patents, and that prevents them from including H.264. However, contrary to H.264, WebM is explicitly designed to avoid patents that aren't owned by Google/On2, so Microsoft could implement WebM with significantly less risk than Mozilla could implement H.264.
If they make it any easier on developers it'll be a hit.
Yes, I definitely think it's bad. If we don't find a good way to deal with it (not eliminate, even physical goods sellers haven't achieved that, but bring down to more digestible levels) a lot of markets will eventually shrink drastically.

I can understand wanting to limit early releases while the film is still in the cinema. Fair enough, but personally I think after a suitable amount of time has passed the producers should release the films to digital channels (e.g. iTunes) themselves. I don't think the money distributors cream off the top makes anything better. In my ideal world distributors would be producing the DVD/CD/BlueRay disks for the very small (eventually) group of people who still want to consume that way. In other words, they would be by far the smallest group in the picture, not the biggest.

Hey, you're welcome - somebody pointed it out to me, so I am just paying it forward :-) Anyway, if you use Tree Style Tab, you might want to disable Tabmix Plus. They don't seem to play well together - it seems to interfere with the Tree Style tab drag and drop. It's not like you'll need it, anyway.

But in this case, people also must be willing to accept a not so cool iPhone a cause of the antenna issue... well, unless they want to follow that stupid solution suggested by Jobs.
there's no way there'd be such bidding up of prices for things if the Fed wasn't keeping everybody from facing up to the very real losses on the books of so many institutions.

Yes, many of the buyers raised money raised money a few years ago, but those buyers compete with the banks flooded with cash that they aren't lending out.

We haven't made those with losses face them. We've just stuffed their pockets full of money and sent them back out to do more foolish things.

The idea is that, if you think the reader will just accept something as a fact, you don't need to hedge it.

If your reader will see it as an arguable point (instead of an uncontroversial fact), then you should make (or at least sketch) the argument, because you're not a sect leader or anyone else who can spoon-feed "truth" to his minion. You should make the argument because you want the reader to be able to disagree with you and see where he/she still follows you. And if it's not worth making an argument, there's an opportunity to make the text shorter and more concise by exactly that sentence.
Maybe Jobs needed to hold the iPhone4 differently during the keynote instead of telling everyone to turn off their MiFi, laptops, etc.
good lord thanks for telling me about tree-style tabs, it seems great for researching a bunch of code frameworks

Well, since I'm sharing the love... Tree Style Tabs in combination with Selection Links is a killer combo. Say somebody points you to a page (or sends you an email which you read through a web interface) with a bunch of links in it. So you select the text and use a one click Selection Links function to open all the links in the selected text. With Tree Style, that loads all the links as children of your original tab. Then if you want to monitor the content of those links (say each link shows the status of some activity), you use Tree Style Tab's "Reload children" to get firefox to reload only that part of the hierarchy.

I love it.

World Cup is very difficult, if impossible to predict. For example, I was watching Slovakia-Italy yesterday, and in around 95 minute, Italia had a good chance to equalize to 3:3, it was a matter if the player will hit the ball correctly - I don't know how something like that could be predicted.

Moreover, no one expected that Slovakia will play better than in their previous matches, and Italy will play worse than in their previous matches. One possible factor (for Slovakia) could be that the coach and players were angry at Slovak media, which all blamed them mercilessly for a poor performance in the previous two matches - and that I think had more influence on the outcome than any previous math statistics about those two teams. They wanted to show that the media were incorrect and that added an extra motivation.

Where I think this math approach can work is in the leagues, where the same teams play against each other regularly.
True but you can easily have 30-40 items in a list, all readable without having to scroll. Text labels are a small fixed height, but a long and widely variable width, so it makes sense to stack them rather than put them end-to-end.

Also a scrolling pane is a standard UI element that is well accepted by users.

But now I use a Kinesis Advantage: http://jseliger.com/2009/07/20/kinesis-advantage , which is better still, although the cost is high in both financial and retraining terms.
Most likely to immersion bias - they tend to visit sites that align with their beliefs, which in turn reinforces their world view, and without a healthy dose of physical reality, the distortion gets so bad you tend to get these types of comments a lot.
It pays to be aware of the subjectiveness of your feelings on things - if I can't put objective figures on it, then I don't trust it - which tends to eliminate popular folklore from a lot of scenarios...
