Beautiful Lumigram Bras Wallpapers, Lumigram Dress images, Picture & Photos 
Lumigram has launched a range of evening wear for both men and women including sexy bras and shawls. The entire range retails at between 99-170 Euros and is available at the online store.For a casual night out, why not try on one of Lumigram’s Lumitop fiber optic tops? Each one is powered by a compact battery pack connected to a bright LED light source, and provides ample illumination to light up any pair of boobies that need a little extra attention.Lumigram clothes are powered by 1.5V replaceable batteries, which light the top for more than 12 hours. A small switch on the battery box allows the wearer to light the fiber on/off.
There's http://Doodle.com, a service that helps groups schedule meetings by letting each person vote on particular time slot. They've been around since 2007, according to their About page, though they haven't made many updates to their service.

I use Google Calendar's event scheduling feature a lot, because I often need to schedule group meetings. But when the participants I need to invite don't have a Google account, I use Doodle.com, because it has a free version that doesn't require everyone to register with it (low barrier to entry).
Exactly and some time down the line when Google/Amazon/Microsoft/Canocial inevitably offer an equivalent service/price it will be because Apple validated the model. The only interesting part will be if the labels make the iTunes clones pony-up the large upfront fees Apple did.
Looks like it's time for these apps to pivot. More / different functionality than what's coming in the new operating system
Any money says 10.5 -> 10.7 will work (some how ;-)
I got a chance to see this being demoed at Google IO and for the most part it was neat, but I likely would never use any of the features.

Like most WYSIWYG editors, they just cant get things exactly how you want them. One of the standout features that I definitely will be using is the "extract as style" feature. Where, the layout editor will find common properties amongst an XML viewgroup and pull them into an external style sheet. pretty useful stuff. Also, it seemed like there was going to be much better support for running layout changes without having to recompile, which I could see as being a HUGE time saver.

Glad to see the Android team is making progress here.
Except that Android app sales don't pay out to Google, they pay out to Verizon whereas iPhone app sales pay out to Apple.

Google does support a ton of native apps (GMail, Calendar, Places, Goggles, Latitude, Maps, etc) but their strategy going forward seems to try to push these things from apps into the browser, spending a ton of time supporting the mobile browser version of all of these things (except for Goggles).

I don't have a problem with Stallman's positions, just his tactics. He marginalizes himself and the FSF by behaviour that appeals only to his most devoted followers. As a hacker, he should realize that his solution is suboptimal and find ways to improve it. Instead, he brushes off those who criticize him as being in league with the forces of oppression, or at least not caring enough about freedom to see why he's right. He presents a false dichotomy: either you agree with me and my methods, or you agree with Apple and theirs. He ignores the obvious majority opinion amongst hackers: I agree with you, but I find your methods distasteful and ineffective. For that reason, I can't support you or your organization.
> They have far more than that, which is the whole point of the article.

Anyone who thinks that money is the only, or even most influential, source of corruption doesn't know much about people.

People will commit the most horrendous atrocities in the name of "doing good", and that's not the only thing that is far more effective than money.
And your own distribution, payment processing (don't forget the ~$0.30 credit card transaction fee on your 99 cent sale), SDK, etc.
On these integrations and maintenance now versus last
year (i.e. how much more time are you spending this
year on these integrations as compared to last year):

Sorry, but this is poorly worded, and doesn't allow you to say you're spending less time integrating APIs this year than last.

(The answer selection is a percentage scale.)
I hope you appreciate the irony in wanting to censor an entire country from the Internet for considering a bill that censors the Internet.

I think you're right, there. By focussing on the high end, they likely avoid any accusation of monopoly and so avoid anti-trust investigations. That they approach a monopoly on the markets they target doesn't really matter if their market share in total is <10%.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's back up and take a deep breath.

Ok. These politicians get "elected" because they, quite simply, can buy their elections. When you can tell your constituents "look! I got you <latest bill of pork>! I'm doing good for you! Re-elect me!", they will re-elect you.

The only thing we're guilty of is being incredibly short-sighted.
No, Apple has never been able to sell commoditized hardware.
I hope they add an easy-to-remember URL too, like google.com/calendar/username. That's one of the features I like out of the other appointment scheduling apps.
I didn't see any web access mentioned, but mobile me has always had web access for photos/email and the ability to make photo albums public or to password protect them (for group access). I don't see why they'd remove this

Nobody is saying that money is the only or most-influential source of corruption.
10 years after release, iPhoto still cannot export a complete set of user-created photo metadata. 10 years and counting.
Who tracks this? I mean other than just a gut feeling.

And how much of it is integrating an API vs. doing it yourself. (eg. You might be spending twice as much time integrating APIs and half as much time doing it yourself)

Also, does external mean a webservice or a module you didn't write yourself. (eg. Facebook vs. Win32)
Security is mathematics.

The entire reason acts like the PROTECT IP act even get this far is because NO ONE understands the internet, and the potential of it.

Yeah, we're slightly more enlightened than the politicians, but that's not really saying much.

All we know is that it'd be better to just leave the internet alone for now, until we have a better idea of its potential (which, I acknowledge, may never happen).

Of course, as other commenters have said, the idea that the US can basically say "follow our law, or you have no internet" is disgusting. Unfortunately, this threat will hold until some country decides to call the US's bluff.
Uh, you quit?
Uhh, what? You're telling me that the government would have AXFR write permissions on every privately run dns server in existence? What about those that exist outside of the united states? Anyone can run their own dns server that queries the root nameservers. Anyone can run their own dns server that contains only records of their choosing. The very existence of this idea isn't realistic in any way, and would only really make sense if it granted the government access to the major route registries, but even that idea is nearly impossible to mandate.
Is it "normal" for programmers to not work?
The only opt-out option visible in the keynote was a master switch to turn iCloud services on or off (it being on by default of course). I doubt they'd make it more granular than that as it would complicate things quite a bit while only meeting the needs of a few and isn't really in line with their interests. It's better than no option and is obvious and accessible enough contrary to some other way more sensitive features released from other companies.

Personally, I find that Apple has been very consistent with how they treat customer data at a corporate level and I trust their incentive to protect it and/or hide it from public view by default WAY more than I trust Googles, Amazons, and especially FaceBooks. If I'm honest with myself their vested interests in iAd do raise the hairs on the back of my neck a little bit, but it would be a significant departure (and would create more backlash than anything I can imagine them doing in the near term) from everything I've seen of their treatment of personal data to date.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: A worthy opponent for iPad 2
As the name itself suggests, the tablet has a 10.1 inch capacitive touchscreen besides a 1 GHz dual core processor, storage options (of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB), a 3 megapixel back facing and a 2 megapixel front facing camera and much more. The latest Honeycomb (Android 3.1) operating system powers the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I mentioned square waves specifically because I remember reading an article a couple of years ago about how going WAV -> FLAC -> WAV on 'unnatural' waves like sawtooth or square waves failed to come back out exactly alike. It was just a little sarcasm on my part. IIRC the article was on HN so I expected people to pick up on that.

On balancing economic power
This will be great, I won't have to downshift to Windows to watch a Netflix movie.

Hopefully the quality will be better in HTML5 than Netflix's current offering. While the price is right, dark scenes are pixelated in NF movies over cable internet.

I have recently watched a few movies over Google's Youtube movie service, and Amazon's. Both use flash, and both have much better quality, at least on my laptop. As I watch a movie on flash I wonder why NF can't figure out how to get equivalent quality.

And there's also Silverlight, which freezes up my laptop on about 10-20% of attempts to watch a NF movie. Be good to have that gone.
This is one of those cases where I really hate NDAs.
We should ban the united states from the Internet and leave them with their own will.

Simply, disgusting.

With a lot of discussion on HN about Eternal September, let me take this opportunity to say comments like these are incredibly group-think, very reddit-hivemind-like, and add very little to the discussion, if not none at all.

I think discussions on HN should focus less on hyperbole and vacuous statements and I wish to read more comments on HN which are serious in intent and more grounded in reality. As other posters mentioned, not only is the suggestion to ban the US to preserve an open internet ironic but it is simply a knee-jerk comment (however awful and disgusting one personally feels about the issue) that I feel HN could do without.

That may be, but it becomes something of an 'unenforced law,' which is something that I'm not very fond about. If the terms of service allow them to boot that App at any time (but for the time-being they are going with an interpretation that is favorable to you), then you are still on shaky ground.
Their iPad app is also clearly HTML5. Sadly this means the UX is pretty crappy.
If you want someone to understand security, just send him to a university mathematics department for four years.

This is a testable assertion.

I've met a bunch of people in data security in the last few years. In fact, I do know one with a math degree and he's very sharp.

But I still think the premise is ridiculous. Math proofs are tall towers of lemmas and theorems existing in an insulated universe.

Logical and rational thought are critical, yes, but in real world security you must be very careful not to build your towers that high. Instead you need a defense-in-depth strategy, one which assumes at least some of your assumptions are going to be violated on a regular basis.

Seen in a crypto paper:

* An attack on [cryptographic primitive] A implies an attack on [cryptographic primitive] B.

* B is not the subject of this paper.

* Therefore, A is proven secure.
I doubt they would use an exact hash like SHA-1 though. It wouldn't allow for variations in bitrate, slight length differences due to cutting off beginning/end of the song's fade out/fade in, etc.

I could imagine people figuring out the minimal bitrate that would produce a matching fingerprint (perhaps 64 kbps or even smaller) and sharing music that way.
This is nothing new. The same has been going on in drug trials for years.

The trials are paid for by the company making the drug. With FDA and (sometimes) NIH oversight of course. But the FDA is terribly under funded. And the NIH is already a tool for the pharm industry.

And if a company's drug gets into trouble, a few calls to a few of our elected officials takes care of the little fact right quick.

We only hear about it when people die. Remember Vioxx?

There is fundamental issue about those kind of tokens. The customer is not able to renew or set the private key (seed in RSA terms) of their tokens. It's a kind of insecure business model where the customer has no control over the tokens and is bound to the security of the supplier (if the supplier is compromised...). There are solutions like Yubikey or other compliant HOTP/TOTP tokens where the customer has the control of the private keys inside the token.

Yeah, I do seem to be having chain issues. But what exactly those issues are, or how to debug them is not clear to me. I cat'd my chained certificates into my .pem file before I sent it to Heroku. So I'm not skipping that step, although I must be doing it wrong.

This is a good example of something that would probably be easier to debug if I was running my own server. Then I could just open up the nginx.conf and make sure things are set right.
We hire 1 intern every term, but just finalized 2 offers on full-time employees (not previously known).

I'm all about the culture fit - my founders care about the technical capabilities.

I ask the following two questions:

1a) You have 8 balls and a fulcrum scale. Each ball looks, tastes and smells the same. One ball is slightly heavier then the rest. Find it using the scale only twice.

If the candidate blows through this one I ask the following.

1b) If I gave you 3 uses of the scale and one heavy ball, what is the largest number of balls you could weigh?

I find this question shows that they can problem solve. Most developers try a 4x4 split - which doesn't work. It's great to witness their problem solving technique.

2a) How do you put an elephant in a fridge?
2b) How do you put a giraffe in the fridge?
2c) If the king of the jungle has a meeting with all of the animals, who is missing?
2d) How would you cross a river that is known to be full of alligators?

This question helps bring out the candidates sense of humour due to it's sheer ridiculousness. We tend to be very informal, it's very important we can shoot the shit with our employees.

The best way to reduce piracy is to shorten copyright. Lets give the industry what they want, 6 month copyright length. This would vastly reduce piracy, by the time the DVD comes out it's legal to copy. I think after that they'll be begging for the return of piracy.
Your premise is interesting, your example (and supposed proof?) is a strawman. I don't think Colin is saying the best security people are mathematicians. Rather, he's saying the best mathematicians are well-suited to be security professionals.
In Austria you can only pay by card in chains or touristy places. Even there it is socially unacceptable for amounts less than 10 Euros.

Great way to create extra jobs by making something less quick through technology though.

If you're used to web development and in specific manipulating the DOM with jQuery, then you might be more comfortable with jQuery Mobile.

If you're a programmer who's experienced with MVC and building native applications, then go with Sencha Touch.

Sencha/Ext is far more robust than jQuery Mobile, and in an object-oriented, programmatic fashion defines your application, with Sencha taking care of the DOM for you.

I highly recommend this tutorial to get a feel for how Sencha's MVC works: http://www.sencha.com/learn/Tutorial:A_Sencha_Touch_MVC_appl...

That is no more secure than just sendimg a plain stream, as a sufficiently inclined user could man-in-the-middle that stream.
Don't be bothered -- this is not actually how it's done.

What you do to compare sizes of sets A and B is, construct a 1:1 function mapping everything in A to something in B and vice versa.

If such a function exists, they're the same cardinality.

It's a little long-winded, but see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_number

This idea, which seems obvious only in retrospect, is due to Georg Cantor (the guy with the set, and the paradox).
Really? What is it going to take to get beyond the stupid provocative titles?

Indeed. It's rather shoddy engineering if you ask me. Consider that, for example, SSL certs are generated and the private key is never disclosed to the cert authority when purchasing a key. That way only the owner of the SSL cert can actually use it.
