Do you read for more than ten hours at a stretch?

Personally I'd kill for a tablet that could last the eighteen hours door-to-door from SFO to SYD, but hey, ten hours is a good start.

I do most of my reading before bed. Looking at a backlit screen within a few hours of attempting sleep makes it take longer to fall asleep and probably also lowers the quality of sleep.

> The interesting thing is that this means shared hosting, usually with a well-supported but language constrained environment, is actually becoming the premium hosting option. VPSs, formerly the high-end option, are now the cheap stuff.

Exactly this. I have been using shared hosting for around $100/yr, which was cheap 3 years ago when private servers were double or triple that. But recently I bought a VPS for $15/year. Sure, I have to do my own admin, but I'm fine with that. If the cost for the shared hosting doesn't come down, I'm going to have to move everything to my VPS.
Emberwind ported to HTML5 and WebGL
I wonder how the durability and longevity of this arm emulated version will compare to the original. Also, does it use the same buttons cells as the old one?

Well, apparently the only one in existence is in Seattle (about eight blocks away from me, as it works out).

My guess is that the answer to "how soon" would be 'the second one of these boxes appears in a state where Amazon does not yet collect sales tax.'

That said, I'm guessing that Amazon's lawyers would argue that this is effectively identical to a P.O. box, and therefore totally exempted. At least, that's what I'd argue.

edit: or not owned by Amazon at all. Good call.
Its sort of in-between.

Its under a startup lab (inlith.com) I created, and we are (or rather will be) working on multiple projects. We are also doing consulting work (madebyargon.com) on the side to bootstrap them.

PLAY is our first project, and our number one priority, and currently we are focusing all our energy into this. We are fully prepared to "make this our new life".

edit: Inlith has two founders, me (designer) and a friend of mine (business guy). We are based in Bangladesh. We plan to hire 4-5 developers initially, as employees, to work on our projects. PLAY is being managed by me and two programmers (all equity-holders), so there are three people working full-time on PLAY.
I think only Comodo has had a (known) breach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comodo_Group#Iran_SSL_certifica...), but it's not at all the same as with Diginotar - they informed vendors quickly, and had a list of false certificates available.
Amazon/Kindle Part 5: Is Outsourcing A National Security Issue?
Does this mean Microsoft plans on abandoning Silverlight? Does it mean this mean that Microsoft plans on supporting WebGL (or any means of 3D in the browser)? They can imagine whatever they want but the reality is that plugins support a lot of things that IE cannot do and Microsoft has not announced plans to support.
What the fuck is he talking about?
I have, on occasion, wanted to write almost exactly this script - but the thing that stopped me was that VirtualPC apparently emulates a slightly different IDE controller than VirtualBox, and so when Windows XP starts up in the new VM, it doesn't have a driver installed for the IDE controller, can't find its own hard-drive, and blue-screens. It's possible to edit the registry to install the required driver, but that requires booting into Windows... a Catch-22 if ever there was one.

I was eager to see how the problem had been solved... but apparently Windows Vista and Windows 7 don't have that particular problem, and the IE6 VM (with Windows XP) just says "IE6 support is currently disabled".

That's kind of sad; at least for the light web-development I've done, IE7 and IE8 aren't nearly as fussy and hair-pulling as IE6.

Comodo had huge issues very recently, and VeriSign's issues go back about as far as they do (providing intercept services to governments. That wasn't even an 'accident'.) Godaddy? I don't know much about what they do but I wager you wouldn't have to dig deep.

I love what Dave has been doing from an investment perspective, and the accelerator program that 500 startups has set up is top notch.

I haven't heard a bad thing about him from any of the startups that he's invested in... aside from the fact that he's really, really hard to get a hold of.

For all the talk of the Silicon Valley Bubble in the NYT, and the Economist, etc..... the majority of "silly" fundings you read about in the main stream press end up having a back story like this... revenue, serious traction, founders that have been working their asses off eating ramen noodles for years, etc...
It seems to be standard procedure for Amazon. They carry a far wider selection of products on the American site than any of their international stores. Until the last few years they basically only sold media in Canada.

True. We really need a plan B, to plan what to do in such a scenario, but there doesn't seem to be enough of an incentive to improve the system yet.

This is the route I went while using Clojure. I also ended up learning more and more about how to customize emacs with elisp.

Vimpulse and viper got me close enough to vim where I could get things done, and learning more and more elisp, as I went along, allowed me to add or change anything that didn't feel right.
Oops, I missed the sentence about the ARM when I was looking it up. Does make a whole lot more sense that way.

Forgive me for being dense, but why not choose the 'classic desktop' option at login, or 'sudo apt-get install gnome-panel' if it stops coming by default?

Is it a clash of ideology that caused you to jump ship? Because I find it hard to believe somebody smart enough to find, download and partition their disks to install Ubuntu would balk at the effort of customising their desktop to suit their needs.

Think of the post-PC tablets as replacing TVs/books/browsers/iPods in time spent consuming content.

Content consumption devices (aka radio, TV, books, mp3 players) have not had a significant advance in decades. The browser was the first new conduit that moved people away from these devices. These people used a PC, but merely as a content consumption device, NOT as a content creation device!

Now tablets - which are mostly hardware for browsers, becoming more so with 'cloud' services - are becoming personal content consumption devices.

As long as there's a browser, it's a window to the world of content - not just the central authority's content.

For so long producers have wanted to have a powerful computing device in every hand. Now that day is closer!
Hey guys, great idea, but your method seems off from most of the speed reading courses I've found.

Whereas those courses focus on training you to not just read individual words, but entire lines or blocks of text, and without subvocalization, yours seems to focus on increasing your word-by-word reading speed as much as possible.

In your FAQ you say:

"We have taken the latest speed-reading curricula and cut out all of the extraneous exercises to create an effective, simple tool to improve reading speed. The readfa.st curriculum forces users to read at speeds that push the upper limits of your comprehension and by constantly challenging you to push yourself faster; at the same time we use regular quizzes to ensure that you maintain your understanding of the text."

What is the 'latest speed-reading curricula' you've based the site exercises on? I have an interest but not expertise in this subject, would love to know more details.

Also...

"Ani, one of our co-founders, read at over 1,000 words per minute without any training. When we noticed how blazingly fast he was finishing books, we began to look into what makes people read at such vastly different speeds. We did extensive research into the scientific (and pseudo-scientific) literature around how people read, but the body of work is not very encouraging. Most speed-reading products make unverified and unverifiable claims about their effectiveness, and because of their SEO and sales interests, those specious claims overwhelm most legitimate discussion around speed-reading. One of our goals is for readfa.st to help us better understand the process of reading and what factors affect speed and comprehension."

It would be both awesome in general and good marketing in particular if you elaborated on your findings. Think OK-Cupid data blog but about speed reading.

Finally, one question. On the initial assessment I hit 'Too Fast' at 1105 WPM, but the report said I was only reading at 880 WPM. Why the discrepancy?

Why not use IEtester and run all versions of IE on a vista/w7 free vmware player install?

W7 trial iso will work without a key, it will just shutdown every 30 minutes which is fine for testing purposes.

IEtester also has debugbar which sometimes is even better than some firefox tools I use.
I would add a page on the site to view the source for the mixins.

Tips for Raising a Venture Round
I haven't used a 42s, but the 50g is an excellent calculator and I used it quite a bit in college. I did lots of work with matrices and it is by far the best calculator I've ever used for that purpose.
I first bought the HP-15C before my freshman year at Iowa State. I used it through my undergrad EE program and after school continued using it for years. The landscape layout, heft, and feel of the keys were all incredible.

Years later I tried a TI-89 and really couldn't stand it, even though it had all the cool graphing foo and symbolic algebra which is really useful. So I distinguish between the usefulness of the features of the TI-89 and the qualitative feel of the HP-15C.

Even later still I tried the HP-33 for a basic RPN calculator that I could lug around in my backpack and not worry about losing or damaging it. It's really light and certainly doesn't have the feel that the 15C does. The keys have a 'toy' feel to them that I don't like.

All that to say that I probably will try this new 15C, but I'm skeptical. It probably won't have the same heft in the hand, nor the feel of the keyboard as the original. But hey HP, please surprise me!
What legal issues are there with the Apple employees and not the plainclothes police officers carrying out this search ? Are Apple in the clear here seeing as Calderon agreed to the search ?
That is exactly what the article comes over as. They seem to be annoyed with the fact that their roots were being pulled when they claim only a single subroot was compromised.

They are willing to give people new certificates chained to the PKIOverheid, but that comes with the rules and requirements of those certs, and looking at later news it sounds like the Dutch government has revoked their access to that and will be taking over.
Yes, I would think so. Anyone basically has any right to anything you allow.
The IE6 VM from MS runs XP, which doesn't natively include drivers for any of the VirtualBox network adapters. That means ievms wouldn't really be of much great utility unless it could install one of those drivers for you. Unfortunately licensing restrictions prevent me from including the drivers (or even an OS to boot and install them). I'm still looking for a solution and will update the docs if I can figure it out.

Why did the wii balance board so popular? 	
One of the things that's made Wii Fit so popular as the wii remote controller is the excitement Nintendo has stirred up with people who don't normally play. For Crecente, that excitement--and the let down that often comes with it--hit home. "My mom and step dad both tried Wii Fit before it came out," he says, "and like every other middle-aged American, they loved it." In fact, they loved it so much they went out and bought a Wii of their own. Months later, though, when Crecente stopped by for a visit, he didn't need to ask if they'd set foot on their balance board. Their Wii had never even been set up. So much for physical fitness.

This javascript site parses a whole lot of text and displays it at a fixed location very quickly. I can read about 475 words/minute with very good comprehension. I don't catch all the specific names but in some cases I find that I form a high level overview of the material much faster. I tend to notice big picture patterns when I use this tool.
I don't know why more people aren't writing apps that work like this for ios or android. When I finish my current side project I want to try something like this in flex.
Well if they mis-identified themselves as police, that in itself is a crime, whether or not he agreed. Further, if anyone in the DA's office actually cared[1], there would be a decent case for criminal trespass since the guy did not let in Apple employees, but police officers in his mind... further a creative DA could probably even try for fraud if anything was damaged or property was lost since it was under false pretenses.

[1] Nothing will come of this... gotta protect the nice big corporations even if they occasionally get it wrong. That guy was surely a common fellow, pure worthless evil most likely, otherwise Apple would not have suspected him. This is good enough for any DA to ignore the law that might otherwise protect that common trash.
Do you like "Monster Smash", the name of my whack-a-mole style iphone game?
Hello!

I want to change the name of my whack-a-mole style iPhone game from "Thick Lips" to "Monster Smash". The official homepage of the game is at here: http://thicklips.eddyl.com

"Thick Lips" is not descriptive enough and sounds like it might be a racist slur against black (African) people.

I am a Chinese living in Hong Kong, and may not be familiar with American culture. So please advice me if "Monster Smash" has some special meaning in American culture.

In addition, other alternatives are "Smash the Monster", "Monster Smack", "Smash the Monster", "Hit the Monster", "Punch the Monster".

Thanks for your advice!

The 24/7 lab
Working weekends. Leaving at midnight. Friday evening meetings. Does science come out the winner?
I wonder if production is not more inherent to the human being than you give it credit for being. How, otherwise, did we get from TV-land to the internet? Was it not a case of frustrated need for self-expression and response to new stimuli?

What is missing here is actually a perspective on how consumption is a form of production itself– of perspective. Better access, and new forms and content for consumption, will create (that word!) new forms of consciousness, which are fed back in production.

Consumption today seem to me more of a form of networking of sources and producers, production of perspective. There's so little that we yet know about our still new internet reality. Polishing consumption may very well be necessary in order for us to make sense of our current social/technological stage, to produce new forms of social networking/organization and ultimately new every-other-form of content/artifacts.

To dive in at the deep end: consuming stuff on a tablet, with the accompanying delights and frustrations - is part of the networking of the device itself into the cycle of human content consumption-production. There's no reason to believe that the tablet as an object is finished, and that it won't evolve to fit the 'expressive needs' of people – your own frustration/pessimism are a part of this cycle, both leading people to not use tablets, to look for different desktop paradigms, new forms of interaction with tablets, improving tablet ergonomics and on and on. You're surely not alone.

The cycle won't stop. We must not get down when there's so much great work to be done! Yet, again, also our negative feeling in this regard is ultimately productive, if we let it.
Has anyone worked on this kind of modeling software? The article is very light on technical details. Specifically, it seems like humans are required to accurately model the problem domain and assign weights. I find it surprising that the answer doesn't fall directly out of that analysis. What exactly is it that the software computes?

Anyone else think of Foundation's "Psychohistory" when reading this article?
Catmull's work is one of my favorite arguments against software patents. Can you imagine where we would(n't) be today if he'd patented all of those core 3D graphics algorithms and allowed them to end up in the hands of a Nathan Myhrvold or a Lodsys?
it's not an all or nothing practice. the socratic method is a quick method to give yourself some direction/meaning regarding an idea. if someone you meet says "my idea is a brand1 brand2 mashup", socratic method would lead to 3 or 4 questions and answers which would offer an accurate description of the idea.

This is really important stuff. I watched a good 25 minutes of the youtube video for Jewel vs. NSA. I really wish lawyers spoke like humans. I understand there's procedure in a courtroom, but it seems like that gets in the way of comprehension.

From what I gathered, the lawyer for the government was arguing to get the case thrown out because the judges don't have the right to decide. One of the judges referred to it as a mobius strip argument. That seemed to piss off the judges.
This was absolutely the first thing I thought of the moment I read the headline.

I very much want to believe that someone at Amazon had a brainstorm after that book.

May I suggest that if you (by "you" I mean the parent and siblings of my comment) are going to speculate, you might consider reading the Wikipedia article before going off in all directions. It's even got sources for some of the claims (although not all).

I actually find it impressive still. The reason being that for companies as big as they are to actually allow to use a new product has to go up high a couple of levels, and needs a lot of approval. So if it made it all the way up, and it was approved, even for that "one guy", it means there is a future in the company for the product.
Amazon already has these up and running in Japan.

A very interesting article but unfortunately you need a nature subscription to read it.

This is just a teaser:

Many labs are renowned for their intense work ethic and long hours. When I set out to profile such a laboratory, I wanted to find out who is drawn to these environments, what it is really like to work there and whether long hours lead to more or better science. I approached eleven laboratories with reputations for being extremely hard-working. Ten principal investigators turned me down, some expressing a fear of being seen as 'slave-drivers'.

Number eleven — Quiñones-Hinojosa — had no such qualms. His work ethic is no secret: a 2007 essay in the New England Journal of Medicine1 and several television and newspaper reports have traced his path from 19-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, labouring in the fields of California, to neurosurgeon at one of the United States' leading research hospitals. He did not get there by working 9 to 5.

> Reached this afternoon, Calderón confirmed that only two of the six people who came to his home actually entered the house. He said those two did not specifically state they were police officers.

> However, he said he was under the impression that they were all police, since they were part of the group outside that identified themselves as SFPD officials. The two who entered the house did not disclose that they were private security officers, according to Calderón.

I wonder if they had the same badges, uniform on? Or did the Apple people have their own security uniform on and Calderón just didn't notice the difference. Maybe Apple's people could have been more explicit that they were not the police, but this reads like a big misunderstanding.
