Agreed. One could argue that the post/title is totally linkbait. Plus they have a GIANT pic of the SecureID key fob but the content has nothing to do with it being cracked.
A person using hotkeys probably never has to look at the keyboard, I don't know how useful a fully customizable keyboard would be.
Isn't DNA profiling and decoding software dependent?
Begs the question of how best to do the numbering. The sequence yaw, roll, yaw, roll will give a full rotation without requiring that the mattress ever be flipped length-wise (pitch). But this isn't a golden rule because you have to remember the last operation. Hence, you can start with any orientation, label the upper right corner 0, yaw, label it 1, roll label it 2, yaw label it 3, roll done. Now all you have to do is remember to flip the mattress. :)

Malware : Security Threat for Android based Smartphones - How to protect 
Security is not a luxury which we can opt in or out: it’s the basic necessity in our life. Now it’s high time for getting our mobile phones secure especially the android based phones. According to the latest report from security consultants McAfee, android threats have increased to 76 percent during the second quarter of the year; making it the most attacked mobile operating system. Android OS-based malware overtook the Symbian OS as the most popular target for mobile malware developers.
Looking good takes a certain amount of discipline. You have to eat right and exercise and take time to groom yourself. I wonder how much of the increase in success for attractive people is caused directly by their looks, ie greater self-esteem and unfair treatment. How much of the increase is not caused by good looks but correlates with good looks due to a deeper cause such as greater self-discipline?
I know for a fact web dev isn't trivial and didn't intend to imply it is.
The seas wouldn't even be flat to the "surface" of the cube, right? They'd deform into a spheroid. So looking at it from a peak (or from space) it would appear to be a liquid sphere intersected with a solid cube.
I've always found the idea of a secondary display on a laptop intriguing. Would be nice to be able to look down at the keyboard and have docs for whatever I'm working on already there, without having to page over to another screen or such. I would presume the screen has some sort of API (or at least a WebView mode) so this sort of thing would be possible.

On the flip side, a 17" display means you have room to keep both on the screen at once, negating the extra display. 15" model please?
I think that that's absolutely a good question to ask yourself. And the answer is that it depends. For WhereMyFriends.Be getting covered on Mashable was absolutely worth it. We've had over 40,000 signups largely from that article. For DomainPolish, my most recent project, it was awesome to get the coverage but it hasn't been a huge driver of sales yet. So I think the jury is still out. It could lead to a connection to a really awesome VC or startup guy that could give me advice to take it to the next level etc.

I can't believe it took this long to make a non-apple laptop that isn't ugly. Simple, sleek and smooth. It really isn't that difficult.
We've fixed it to handle "+" addresses now. Thanks.
Agreed. Going from Flash to Canvas/JS, I miss blending modes the most. Bitmap methods like .paletteMap and .threshold come second.
Although some of the examples in that book use ANTLR, they all cover the theory behind the use, it is much more than an ANTLR manual.

Apple's getting rid of the optical drive too. I bought my laptop 2 years ago, and I don't think I've ever used my BluRay drive.
Ideas mean nothing in the grand scheme of humanity. In 200 years we could collapse back into the dark ages. Only surviving descendants do. The "anyone can produce a baby" is a pretty lie told to those who forsake their prime directive (mating and caring for offspring) in order to serve those who do,in order to make them feel better about themselves. Repeating this lie will not make it true.

And how do you know that one baby (which can cumulatively produce millions more) is not a more "positive impact for humanity"?

Absolutely! However, having different menu-type modules will drastically increase the number of restaurants that can make use of your site. :)

You can make a narrative of the types, too. "A bunch of separate dishes," "a bunch of combinations of ingredients," "a bunch of dishes with the same optional choices," etc. There's probably some restaurant-specific jargon you can employ here to make it easier for your forthcoming customers if you talk to some managers or servers.

That would be a pain to back up.
Oh, and the rule is, if the next number is on the same side, yaw (duh), if it isn't, roll.
Did you do any research to validate that designers want something like this?
Hate to disagree with you. But having written many parsers (and even a few parser generators) it really isn't that difficult if you understand the theory. People encounter problems usually because they don't understand the theory and don't know how to write a grammar.

I have never used a PEG based parsing system so I can't speak to it. The wikipedia page seems to be riddled with inaccuracies. For instance it strongly indicates that context free grammars often end up with unresolvable ambiguities eg.

> "The following recursive rule matches standard C-style if/then/else statements in such a way that the optional "else" clause always binds to the innermost "if", because of the implicit prioritization of the '/' operator. (In a context-free grammar, this construct yields the classic dangling else ambiguity.)"

Nothing could be further from the truth. It is relatively easy to resolve an ambiguity arising from this structure. Indeed, Aho et all use it as an example for how to eliminate ambiguity from a language[pages 211-212 in the second edition. section 4.3.2 "Eliminating Ambiguity"].

Perhaps you could explain why you think PEG and Packrat are superior to CFG and standard parsing tools (eg. recursive descent or LALR and GLR parser generators).
First, in this case, sample is so small that noise dominates.

On your main questions, yes, established apps with known average-beating clickthrough and (where possible) targeted demographics are matched to higher-paying-per-click lower-volume advertisers.

This is done to optimize total revenue through the network, and to avoid showing all the impressions of a high-paying advertiser on a junky "back page" that has low CTR and low spend.

Now, if you are a "brand" advertiser who values impressions and not clicks, you might be happy on the free back page.
This appears to be based on xScope -- or at least one small portion of xScope -- a product much better described as the "ultimate measuring tool".

I bet this'll be as successful as Windows SideShow. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_SideShow)

Games could already hook up to the pocket-sized multitouch high-res color screens that we all carry with us already. Why not start with that and, if there are actually some usages that work well, then consider building it into the device itself?

Innovation != just stick another screen on there.
I always have trouble remembering my lesser used hotkeys (e.g. if you have 20+), but maybe I'm the only one. A quick glance at the keyboard could make it easy.
I'm also currently working on a similar idea in a completely different space, and I don't really think the URL matters so much. The idea is that the site is going to be under the URL of the restaurant itself (AFAICT, and I'm also assuming), so the service domain is really just a footer link and an item line on a subscription transaction.

At least that's my take on the strong way about this idea: cilantrosites.com might have a directory of their customers or something, but by far the main entry point will be through a link to the restaurant itself on Yelp or wherever. Worrying about the look of cilantrosites.com/bobs_pizza is probably a premature optimization.
Their advertisement had nothing to do with consoles. It was simply a statement that PC gaming is not dead.

If you want to spend $400 and play games, buy a console. You're not the target market for pc games.

Alienware made a name for itself selling $5k gaming rigs. They were incredibly successful at it. Since Dell bought them, their products have gotten crappier and crappier. If Razer wants to fill that void, more power to them.

I agree with the article. We occasionally get comments about how our software is too expensive. The only thing that matters though is we do periodic pricing experiments and we know for a fact we don't make more money by lowering the price or by raising it.

The Life and Career of Steve Jobs
It's essentially the same price as the Mac Book Pro 17". Those things are like a plague at coffee shops and conferences all over the world. If the hardware is good, I think they have a good chance. I love the fact that the input pad is on the right. When using laptops where it's in front of the keyboard, I'm always accidentally pressing and moving the mouse.
Interesting point, but I'm not so sure. We take the shortcut of assuming that the earth's gravity is drawing everything toward a point at the center of the earth. But that's not really correct; every bit of matter is drawing everything else toward it.

So those giant mountains that comprise the vertexes of the cube would be pulling the oceans toward them. That works against your point. I don't know where the equilibrium between those forces sits, nor do I know how to calculate it.
Razer unveils $2800 'Blade' laptop (With Touchscreen Keys)
Sorry to be pessimistic, but my sense is, "No, there will not be a Steve Jobs of biotechnology."

Mr. Jobs has done a remarkable job producing sleek, fun-to-use, affordable, somewhat disposable devices and building Apple into a company that has a chance of sustaining his principles. Even taking into account the fickleness of the mass consumer market, herding sub-component suppliers, etc., there is a certain predictability to the advances in electronics technology (Moore's "Law", increases in battery performance, etc.) that gives a solid foundation for a regularly growing business. Fashioning aluminum, cadmium, silicon, and lithium is way more predictable than discovering a pharmaceutically-treatable, financially-lucrative metabolic disease.

There are certainly smart, extremely hard-working individuals in the biotechnology fields --- perhaps surpassing Mr. Jobs in those qualities, and some we'd certainly label as "geniuses" --- but the fantastically low probability of making even one genuine discovery, and the low odds of successfully developing that into a product, make the kind of serial successes of Apple and Mr. Jobs very unlikely in the biotech field. Biology results just don't flow that easily. Also, there is no clearcut equivalent in biological research to outbidding your competitors for the latest components, streamlining your manufacturing and inventory processes, and relying on economies of scale.

I can say this now only with the benefit of hindsight: my negative answer to bh42222's question stems from the fact that we just haven't observed such figure emerge in the last few decades. Craig Venter is a good example to look at. He certainly earned a great victory in the human genome sequencing (and the underlying technologies), but he lacks even a second notable success of that magnitude. It will probably be the purview of someone else to find the utility in the sequenced genome. Dean Kamen may be a prototype figure of this sort, but as nice as his individual inventions are, no single one of them seems rise to the level of a Steve-Jobs-in-the-biotech-field. I may be stunningly wrong on this (and it would be great fun if I was), but I think the probabilities are on my side, and on the side of it not happening.

But let's put aside the negativity and allow me to ask this question: Do we need a Steve Jobs of biotechnology to fulfill our expectations of medical advancement? I would guess, "No, we don't. The good people toiling away at it right now are doing the best that can be done."
I think the biggest issue is the set-up when jumping from task to task. I find if I leave a project for too long, it takes me several minutes to figure out where I am so in the process.

Mozilla Reignites Discussion About Rapid Release Process
Aiyayyay. Were to begin.

calls are made via a known path to a specific
function, and only via rebinding can that target
change. The general case goes straight through.

This is half true. The rebinding via def will change the target, but the call always happens via a lookup through a volatile. In fact, it's this very chain that can benefit from invokedynamic.

If Clojure had to deal with dynamically
selecting a method based on a target object
type

Clojure's protocols are polymorphic on the type of the first argument. The protocol functions are call-site cached (with no per-call lookup cost if the target class remains stable). This is another place where invokedynamic would help.

benefit out of invokedynamic...if it hadn't
already added hacks and syntax

I think you're mixed up here. The JVM already optimizes classes and interfaces. All that Clojure's type hints allow you to do is to help the compiler in the cases where it's unable to infer the proper type. Hinting is not always necessary and better inferencing will start chipping into the remaining cases.

JRuby compares favorably to Clojure without
the typing syntax, performance-wise, which
is quite acceptable to me. With invokedynamic

That's because JRuby is awesome tech. You've certainly set the bar high for dynamic dispatch that invokedynamic has yet to meet.

as the Hotspot guys optimize invokedynamic.

What's the over-under on it happening by Java8? Java9?
It's not that making native-looking apps in plain JS isn't worth it – it's not possible unless you're only targeting iPhone.

There may be a place for jQuery, but stay away from Sencha Touch. It's a huge library, and barely runs on any device but an iphone. Don't be fooled by their slick marketing and examples.

Essentially, trying to replicate a native app in JS is a losing battle, unless your app is extremely simplistic. The majority of smartphones are simply too underpowered to replicate a native experience.

Aim for a site like http://m.twitter.com instead of trying to replicate a native experience. Test on real devices you intend to support as soon as possible, even if you've barely written the app.

I was left wondering what the initials 'AD' stand for. Then I read the start of the article and realized that it was meant to be the common English word 'ad', as in advertisement.

I am curious why there is more idiosyncratic usage on this site than anywhere else I have frequented. Is it the high frequency on non-native English speakers?

Couldn't you just sell the touchscreen and fancy keys as a USB device instead?

Also, how would you really play a game with those keys? Most of the time my hands are on WSAD and the mouse.
I agree completely. It was very clear to me when reading the original that the context is that the person simply has no interest in buying the product no matter what for his own reasons. The selective quoting completely changes the vibe to read that the person deeply despises the product, not that he has no use for it. The use of selective quoting here is dishonest and highly misleading, by intention.
I like the idea, but I'd love to see links to more sample sites. Some minor feedback:

Only 12 menu items with the free plan? That makes the feature totally useless no?

I'd think that if you allow one menu, it should be one complete menu.

Also think about allowing other ways to get the menu, such as via a menu site (menu-pages link), or by uploading a pdf (I know it's horrid)
I doubt this is the case. I like Lion a lot, moreso than the Leopard incarnations. But it is clearly a compromise filled release, but merely because the move to a touch UX desktop is too much to do in one jump.

That's probably because the DOM's window.location.protocol returns "http:" for URLs with http schemes. That is reflected in the diagram included in the article where protocol extends to cover the colon in the DOM row. Overall, it's a pretty unfortunate mish mash of terminology.
If the trackpad is any good, and it supports gestures which can be bound, the trackpad has the potential to be as good or better than a mouse. And of course, nothing's stopping you from attaching a mouse to this, meaning the trackpad can now be used for something different. (The fact that it's an LCD trackpad is just screaming for it to be used as a dedicated map viewer/mover in Starcraft.)
My problem is that it tries to be both a replacement for Facebok/Twitter and blogs/RSS. I don't think that is what I want to see in one stream.
Reminded me of Cyberiad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cyberiad

"The Highest Possible Level of Development civilization. A gravely injured hermit comes to Trurl's house and tells Trurl of Klapaucius's adventure: Klapaucius wanders across an old robot, who tells him that he has logically deduced the existence of a civilization that reached the highest possible level of development (hence "HPLD"). He has inferred the existence of such a civilization by figuring that if there are different stages of development, there will be one that is the highest. He was then faced with a problem of identifying that one; as he noted, everyone claimed that theirs was the HPLD. Upon much research and thought, he decided that the only way to find it is by looking for a "wonder", i.e. something that has no rational explanation. Eventually Klapaucius discovers one such wonder: a star in the shape of a cube, orbited by a planet also shaped like a cube with the huge letters HPLD written on it."

Now I know how it is like, to be one of HPLD.
I would say your university is non-normative in this respect. There is usually no difference in the CS education. The difference is whether the full engineering core is required. If you don't intend to "be a engineer" the engineering core is of questionable benefit. If you intend to work on embedded systems it can be helpful.

To re-iterate. I have yet to meet anyone who cared that I have a BA. That list included employers, recruiters, and the admissions department for my graduate school (I am a PhD. student). It doesn't matter. Ever.
