I sell a Windows application targeted toward business users. 57% of my site's visitors are still running XP. Of those who purchase, 50% are XP, 40% are Win 7, and 10% are Vista users. So forgive me for not getting excited about changes to any upcoming version of Windows because until the folks in Redmond design an OS that businesses are interested in, it's mostly moot.

Social Web App, like FB, but better.
Why is it using Flash, despite seeming to be based on Google maps?

The square overlay on hovering over the map is rather impractical, since it seems to be fixed on an invisible grid that has a much lower resolution than the blobs on the heatmap. Worse yet, often the gridlines are cutting an important blob (e.g. Seattle) into half, making the data shown in the hover square rather useless. From a usability perspective, the obvious thing a user would want to do here is hover their mouse over a heatmap blob and see information specific to that blob, visually related to it (not a square that is halfway off).
but the Google guys invented a search engine that changed the world through the web and easier access to information (to both technical and non-technical people), unlocking it's potential and opening new path's. When people say that Facebook changed the world and made it a better place, they don't remember/know how it was like before Google (and Gnome 1.4).

ps.: i don't want to take credit off Facebook(c) or any other search engine (for example, Altavista worked for me and a lot more people) but it's also the result of a lot of hard work and marketing
The Circles idea would be good if it auto generated people who should be included in Circles based on use patterns(mentioned here "It is a shame that there aren't any recommendations for people that ought to be grouped together automatically into a common Circle.")

It wouldn't be creepy if the interface picked up on behavior similar to how Gmail suggests people to cc on emails based on past email use patterns. People are ready for that.

It varies from car to car really, depending on engine details, transmission gear ratios, transmission type and aerodynamics. With my previous car the best mileage was achieved around 110km/h (68mph). At this speed, it was in the high 40s.
Good point-my understanding is that you do lose some capacity with each charge over time. The one thing that the parent should've noted - which would support his point - is that oil must also be transported across oceans / highways to refineries and then transported again to individual gas stations, which is in itself a drain on resources. Being able to send power over power lines, I imagine, beats those as well.
Are there plans to take advantage of multiple cores automatically? Couldn't it do something like Nginx and spread the workload to multiple cores?
I haven't done any C++ in quite some time. Unit Tests would be a must-have at this point.

It hasn't. You've just read an appallingly naive extrapolation in lieu of an actual valuation. I'd expect better of Forbes, frankly.

The only news here that isn't useless conjecture is that GSVC bought 225k shares @ $29.28.
Exactly this!

It almost feels like a political issue--with all of the longterm controversy and animosity that Facebook has stirred up amongst us, we've been quietly waiting for something like this to happen. I'm glad to see that so many of us appear to be rallying around what appears to have the potential of being a "Facebook killer".

I shouldn't be so emotionally invested, but after years of Facebook acting like assholes to all of us, I hope Google lays complete and utter waste to them. Facebook has under no uncertain terms been trying to swallow up the web, and before seeing this level of competition I thought they stood a chance of accomplishing that goal. Perhaps not anymore.

I deleted my Facebook account a long time ago, and I honestly am not interested in social networking after that experience. I'm not sure whether I want to do the Google+ thing long term, but I'm definitely going to join if for no other reason than to get all of my friends to. Maybe I can get some of them to migrate completely. I trust Google a hell of a lot more than Facebook. (Perhaps I shouldn't, but I do.)

I wonder what this holds for their upcoming IPO? People are fickle and can ditch a service rather quickly (MySpace, hotmail/yahoo->gmail). Even with the wealth of photos and memories Facebook has accumulated for many users, I don't think it will be able to retain them by touting that data alone.

This is going to be very exciting to watch. What a good show you've put on for us, Google!
I'll give it a look in, but yes, my general opinion is that discretion leads to subjectivity and unfairness. Unfortunately the attempts to reduce discretion have historically resulted in malicious arbitrariness, sentencing teenagers to sex offender status for sexting, silly three strikes laws ad et al. At the same time it seems to me that a more richly detailed granular objective system with oversight into the actual code to any interested parties with a clear and concise method for changing that code would be a far superior approach than either of the previously mentioned extremes.
I agree... this may hurt/help Google group making. Either people will add non-contributors to a group and get bored with others' lack of contribution, and by extention Google circles. (To combat this, it'd be great if Google helped curate or edit circles, like with listservs. Non-content posters would be flagged for me and I could opt into auto-removing non-contributors or just being notified that they are diluting my circle.)
Or, it will result in better curated lists of people -- similar to twitter, where you really only want to follow someone (and up your following count) based on the quality of their content.

It appears to handle reasonable amounts of current, it can drive an LED over about 10" of trace in the LED grid example. That example also has cross overs, though they don't mention it in the article.

I wonder how they bond the components to the traces. Is setting them on fresh ink sufficient?

Conductive pens are already available and used for circuit board repair (I think resistance is too high for long traces), e.g.:

http://www.circuitspecialists.com/8420-p.html

If you check the PCB forums, people are always toying with the idea of hooking these up to a plotter for DIY circuit boards without needing etching chemicals.

Presumably these researchers have come up with a better one (probably more consistent flow).
Facebook Locks Down an Important Patent on Social Gift Giving
I was somewhat skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but after using the app for a couple of days I was satisfied that they're not faking data. I tend to wake up easily and have been able to match occasions when I wake up to the graphs.

I've been using the app for a couple of months and I feel that I am groggy less often when I wake up (though this could be expectation bias). It seems to work much better when I am sleeping alone I or my partner are traveling, though maybe this just means I need to buy a bigger bed.
Regarding fake antivirus software : The idea itself is not that innovative. Fake medicines have been part fo the crooks's easy-money-toolbox for ages. This just applies the "you look tired and sick. buy our snake oil to cure your ills" approach to computer users.

The tendency to pay up for dubious remedies of uncertain value is nothing new. Some ways of proposing expensive fake solutions to nonexistant problems are even legal.
we tried this some time ago for RoR prototypes(also price was lower about 5k as far as i remember).

it didnt end up well. we had to make few refunds as clients had to much expectations and no clue about software development. we tried to manage their expectations, but thats very hard when you deal with someone who has 0 exp in software development and operates phrases like "i need twitter script so that i can copy it to my server"

I'd only be afraid of checking the wrong box and sharing with one or more of the wrong circles. This could easily become much more then a fun social experience. I am very excited to see where it goes. With Facebook I'd be hesitant to add co-workers as friends or to make certain posts. Now I feel I may be able to keep family, friends, and work life separate in one spot. Facebooks goal of being a one stop website may have a strong competitor here and o truly hope it does.

Seems many people are jumping on the "been doing it for years" bandwagon. Since I've never touched this stuff, I have questions: do the existing conductive pens work on paper? Can you take notebook or drafting paper, apply the existing conductive pen "ink" and get a functional circuit of reasonable size (up to the size of the paper) without burning up the paper?

You mention that perhaps the resistance is currently too high and that these guys may have come up with something that has "more consistent flow."

The news here is ink-on-paper makes circuits, not conductive pens have been invented for the first time.
Improved docs. Always a good feature. There are still some "still working on it" sections, but there is also new stuff there.

Good work guys...
Also, WeScheme goes to great pains to implement the "world" computing model, rather than only exposing the underlying computational model. Implementing this atop JavaScript is a fair bit of effort. That's where our resources have gone; Cloud9 has spent its effort elsewhere.

A fun exercise for hackers is to guess the consequences of this for running atop JavaScript.

I always try to come ot the table with ideas, but I encourage my designers to overrule me on design decisions. We'll roll something in to our product and at least try it. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and we end up re-working something. I always resist the urge to pull an "I told you so". I find that designers are far more willing to compromise on revisions driven by user needs when you give them ownership over the process.

This article gets more than a smidge of its history wrong. For instance, it makes it seem as if WPF (nee Avalon) was written by DevDiv in isolation from Windows, where in reality the Avalon team was mostly made of the former IE team after its legal dismemberment. In fact, we moved my team (which was focused on developer tools on, for, and made with WPF) from DevDiv buildings into Windows buildings just so we could build apps and tools for Avalon to help test their platform.

But, it was a big effort. And even coming from inside of Windows, getting the rest of the shell to run on a whole new stack -- from drivers, through C++ layers, through managed -- was a challenge, especially with all of the other things going on in Longhorn. Sometimes, you bite off more than you can chew, especially when you make the dependency stack too deep.

Also, all of this happened long before Silverlight efforts started... XAML came out of the WPF work. Arguing Silverlight stole DevDiv focus from WPF during the Longhorn timeframe is temporally impossible. Certainly, you could argue DevDiv was being pulled in many directions with the concurrent efforts to placate the VB4 crowd, push out a new version of VS, figure out a new syntax for Managed C++, compete with the then-rapidly-expanding Java tools ecosystem, and support all of the internal and demanding partners (especially SQL and other Windows efforts). But a substantial portion of both the tools and .NET runtime team's efforts were spent making Avalon perform, and I don't think that even now anybody who was there would claim that more DevDiv resources could have made the "Windows Shell is now made from WPF" effort succeed in the desired schedule.

I think he means that there is always a competitor on the horizon.
Binding components to the traces (or even keeping them on the paper) is definitely my biggest area of curiosity. Putting a lil-dab-o-glue on the bottom would certainly be problematic as it would spread to insulate the connections. Components with adhesive surfaces would solve the problem of sticking it to the paper but not the problem of binding to the trace path. I have no ideas how that would work.
"I don't think the 15 seconds it takes to get used to an /r/IAMA thread is worth a whole new product."

I don't know what to think about this product, but I have to disagree with you on this point. It might take 15 seconds to explain Reddit AMAs to techies, but if the aim is to make AMAs more popular with non-techies, I can definitely see that there might be an advantage.

Interesting - I would be interested in chatting with you too. I am a lawyer at a Big law firm. One of the things that I have been doing (which clients love) is writing software to automate or enhance parts of what I do.
From a less social perspective, I can see this having potential with work groups related to projects. I will be interested when the api comes out.
Seriously, how did this make the front page?
The thing you're talking about is actually done already by embedding non-lawyers in legal groups or having non-lawyers on payroll at law firms.

I would argue that regardless of who is dubbed 'richer', google and those who made it are still worth way more. Zuckerburg is a one trick pony, with nothing but facebook to keep him afloat.

I'm absolutely in love with the idea of "circles." Although my opinion may sway when I finally get my hands on it, it seems as though there's a lot of value in being able to distribute my personal content to specific groups (granted this is possible on Facebook, but it seems like Google is curing the lazy factor). Can't wait to get my hands on an account and see what it's like. I just hope that their scarcity model doesn't box people out. I wanted wave to work so well but when none of my friends/colleagues could get an invite, it made it, well, pointless.
