Face and eyes detection in OpenCV
This post shows how to use a Haar Classifier in OpenCV in order to detect faces and eyes on an image.
The idea is to design directly in html & css. Sketch, then build prototypes. Skip photoshop/wireframe mockups altogether.
Exactly. I'm not sure why Apple is going after small cafes now to protect it's trademark. This isn't the first time it has happened, either (as someone has pointed out below). I really don't see them gaining anything by winning this case, or losing anything by letting it go.

Interested to see how these turn out.

It depends partly on what your app does.

If it is a tool to add special effects to a photo, a 7 day trial might be plenty. If it is an app to measure SEO effect on we traffic, the user is going to need a longer sample time.

I do not think there is a universal right answer. You want it to be long enough that the user gets a proper feel for the value of the product, and short enough that they are pushed to make a buying decision while it still feels new and exciting.
Because the trustee of the domain (which one would assume would be an organization within the country) has administrative rights for the domain. And that trustee can decide to require local presence to use that TLD, which might leave this particular service offline, at least for a time.
No, I point out that hardware+software worked before Microsoft and works well now. And if IBM had licensed DOS exclusively, it would have worked well for IBM. Android represents an example of dumping – taking a loss on a product using subsidies. It's fairly easy to be "successful" if you spend a lot on a product and then give it away.

Perhaps sebastianavina is trying to take a longer term view. That if local web designers are all priced out the market by Google, as they can't work for free and live, then there will be no local web designers in India. No local web designers is going to mean that any distinct local style, artistic innovation, is going to be quashed.

I know what you mean but can't help but feel if I was a small scale designer working with local businesses then this could probably put me out of business.

I wonder if some less scrupulous designers will attempt to front-end these sites; charge for design and then use the Google system to make the site, etc..

From the Wikipedia article:
"Such trademarks would include instantly recognizable brand names, such as Coca-Cola, Kleenex, Kool-Aid, or Sony, and unique terms that were invented (such as Exxon) rather than surnames (such as Ford or Zamboni) or ordinary words in language."

So in this case, at least, I would think that 'Apple' is an 'ordinary word'.

Realtime in this sense means an interrupt-driven thread that must respond in fixed time to prevent audio dropouts which are death in pro audio. Previously Apple has assiduously courted this market with their implementations of CoreAudio and AudioUnits and the purchase of Logic. OS X provides by far the best native support for pro audio apps of any operating system.

Lately all this seems to have fallen pretty far down on their list of priorities though.
I'm not sure how much this'd be important, but Apple (iTunes, really) has a presence in Starbucks stores. The lawyers might consider that enough to perk up their radar.

Interesting asymmetry: if A calls Black Guy a drug dealer or rapist, the onus of proof is on Black Guy to defend himself, and the standard for innocence is so high that this is usually impossible.

Happens all over our society in all different directions. Unfortunately for the guys being called racists, they have their reputations besmirched. Unfortunately for black guys getting called rapists, they have to spend 15 to 30 years behind bars before the Innocence Project can get them out. Assuming they are not executed, which many are.

Point is, Arrington can't do anything for 'Black Guy Falsely Accused Of Rape'. And most of us can't do anything for 'Guy A Falsely Accused Of Being Racist'.

THIS is why you are finding so much 'strangeness' out there...

because there are just enough race baiters out there to get on tv and accuse people of being racist or to get on juries and convict black guys of rape even in the absence of credible DNA evidence!

I understand that people are worried that Apple will abuse their power and be unreasonable about granting exceptions but honestly after building many apps on the outside and seeing how things work from the inside for a year (during Lion dev) I don't think that will necessarily be the case.

Sandboxing will make OS X more secure, and that's a good thing, especially as the OS X install base pushes towards the 15% range and beyond providing a juicy target for our friends on the dark side.

Let's hope I'm right and Apple plays fair because I would like the two App Stores to keep paying my bills while there are still people who are wrong on the Internet.

I can't tell if that's 62% of users who have any phone at all, or 62% of the entire demographic. Either way, I guess I'm in the minority-- I'm 25 and don't actually own any phone at all.

My wife and I share a Motorola W835, which has a minimal plan for emergencies, etc, but it's predominantly the "car phone", and the car is also hers during the day. I bike and walk to work, where I have a phone on my desk, so it seemed redundant to pay for a phone in my pocket as well. I work for a small company where everyone uses their personal device for work purposes; I'm happy to wait for work to decide to pay for my device if they need me to have one.

No coherent conversation on race can emerge because race is not a coherent concept: it has several valid but highly contradictory definitions.

In my (highly arrogant, irrelevant because I wasn't there, and loftily ideal opinion that would have gotten Arrington crucified anyway) he should have said something like "Race isn't something we really take seriously as a concept here in the Valley. What do you mean?"

Of course, that would have been a poor statement, too, because the Valley still pats itself on the back for having a few successful minorities.

Even within the U.S., it's been my observation that the sort of embedded undercurrent of racism you seem to be addressing varies widely by geography and generation.

For example, I grew up on the Pacific coast and went to high school in the Seattle area. I didn't observe what I would call overt acts of racism (whether it was lack of awareness or lack of incidence is another argument). There were enough people of every ancestry possible that racism seemed like a silly idea.

Later (in my 20s) I lived in and visited many places in the Rocky Mountain area. In many communities there was a significant population of Hispanics. Too often, they were poor, typically as a consequence of recent immigration (generationally) or education. However, the social environment was unfortunately such that it reinforced negative stereotypes. By this I mean that if the only people of another race you encounter on a daily basis were poor (and everyone successful looks like you), subconsciously your behavior with regard to that population will change. There aren't enough teachers and school leaders (for example) of Hispanic descent in areas with high Hispanic populations. Research shows that this is because those that go to college choose not to teach because the salaries put them in near poverty conditions—something many are trying to escape via higher education.

(To this point, we in the U.S. have created self-reinforcing discriminatory environment years ago with segregation, which limited educational attainment to a large population. By doing so, policy and practice practically ensured poverty and its associated ills. We're getting over it, but it will take time. Moving large groups from poverty can take a couple of generations.)

In the South (I'm now in Georgia), I find that race is mostly an issue for those about 15 years older than me—those that lived during times where discrimination was more overt. As we were house hunting, more than one well-meaning (but misguided) elderly person suggested the neighborhood had gone downhill since [$race] moved in.

The social conditions where we grow up matter. The presence or absence of successful people of different races matters. Geography (and local history) matters. The extent to which people have traveled or moved from where they grew up matters.

And on the PC, too. They don't even talk about fragmentation on the PC any more. It's just dismissed outright, even though it actually still does cause developer problems.

It's not worth complaining about because more devices means more users.
I have a Samsung Captivate (AT&T's Galaxy S) and while I have been quite disappointed with the device at a high-level, my issues have not been with android or the hardware buttons.

> 1. They are capacitive, so there is no tactile feedback ever

You can enable haptic feedback or tones (cringe), neither of which has substantial effect on battery life.

> 2. They are made to be near invisible, so you can't see them in dim light

True.

> 3. The icons on the buttons are not immediately crystal clear to me

While this may be true, they quite consistent with all the other android phones. (Are you specifically concerned about the having an icon for menu instead of the "menu" text?)
Well, I hate Unity the UI looks like an old Nokia phone makes your Computer look like an bad designed android tablet.

I might be missing something, but the NY CIO is state, not federal. That said, while they likely have their products sold on some sort of GSA schedule, they're allowed relative carte blanche for their rates.

That said, I doubt that this is far out of date, or far off the mark for what they charge as standard consulting fees based on recent work with both parties.
> The sandbox marks the end of the open system.

The existence of the sandbox doesn't. Not yet. As long as there's sideloading, it's still an open system.

I'm very happy with my ability to sideload apps on Android, and it keeps the platform from being too locked down. I can install a whole alternate app store from Amazon that way if I want -- in fact, it would be great if Cydia or someone released an open app store for OS X apps that don't meet Apple's criteria. You wouldn't have to jailbreak your computer to use that app store or any of its apps.

That's the barometer for when Apple goes to far. It's possible that day will come -- when they've gotten this far, it would no longer be shocking to see them go the rest of the way. But until they take that final step, OS X is still an open system.
Rewind this article to 1985 and replace Tablet with P.C.; Amazon with Tandy, IBM, et cetera. That's where I see the tablet market right now. Competitors to the iPad won't succeed by being better than the iPad, but by price and volume. And by offering things Apple doesn't - such as portable form factors and open systems.

Fragmentation of the O.S. is very a minor issue.

Personally, I think the model the designers built on activities makes perfect sense an is very interesting on a technical level, but as much as you explain them to me, it still doesn't do what I want, need or expect sometimes.

Activities are hidden, they are not a user visible concept, so you cannot easily build a mental model without knowing and consciously thinking about them. From the UI, it just looks that the button has been overloaded with two functions: changing applications and changing views in the same application, because applications and views are the two very obvious UI concepts.

I also think Matias Duarte and the Android designers agree that the back button has some problems as Android 4 now has two back buttons: the good old one on the bottom and another one on the top left that behaves just like iOS's. I'm not sure two buttons with similar but slightly different behaviors are the perfect solution but we'll see if people like it.
Well yeah, if the person doesn't deliver, you've helped fund them, but get nothing back. That's why kickstarter projects aren't supposed to supply actual value for the pledge. A lot of the latest one offer the product as a bonus, but don't tell you that you won't get the product if they fail.

Perl used to be cool. It used to bring a lot of functionality and flexibility that you just couldn't get anywhere else.

But it's not unique anymore. And it no longer brings anything truly amazing to the table that you can't find in a competitor language.

I think perl will never really go away though it has clearly reached a long-halflife twilight phase [1]. Unless a miracle happens, it will never return to dominance in anything other than niche domains (like quick-n-dirty commandline scripts).

* But what about perl 6, Larry Wall's ambitious project to basically rewrite perl from scratch?

For sure what he's doing is interesting. But he's unlikely to create anything so compelling that it will make people want to switch from the other languages taking over perl market share. It's the Netscape re-write all over again. Except perl 6 will have to compete with a number of other fabulous open source languages not a single corporate one.

Perl 6 seems more like an academic research project than a real language.

* But perl 5.x is incorporating all the best stuff from perl 6. And we even have simple OO now!

Anything really worth having from perl6 is also going to get pulled into python, ruby, and hell, even lua ... and all of those languages have better traction and forward momentum than perl 5.

* But people use perl for important stuff!

I'm sure they do and they will continue to do so. Hell, iirc, perl's even used by some cool websites like duckduckgo... but that doesn't mean that perl isn't in decline. It doesn't mean that it's popular. It doesn't mean that a lot of people are going to start using it.

--

I feel sad. Perl's been a big part of my career for over 10 years. It's been my go-to language for over 15. I wish I didn't feel like it's slowly dying.
So every time I buy something I end up declaring to every-one in the shop that I have my smartphone on me, not only that but I publicly tell them everything they need to buy stuff from that shop if they did manage to get my phone?

It's so beautiful I can't figure our how to use it. I read the about section, which seems to suggest that you should drag a file onto the browser, and then something will happen. I dragged a text file onto the red circle, and it just opened the file in the browser. No upload happened as far as I could tell. I'm using Opera 11.52 and Win XP. Am I just missing the point?
The thing about that is, once you've solved that problem, you don't really have to solve it again. In fact, I had hardware issues with my new laptop with Ubuntu, which seemed to be making false assumptions (it's just a new Thinkpad!), that I didn't have on Debian. And it took me very little time to set up ndiswrapper on Debian and find the wireless driver for my wifi card. However, I can see the need for better hardware detection on a more exotic portable device. On a desktop, none of this is an issue at all -- I happily ran a Zenwalk development environment for quite some time a few years ago when I was working at one startup.

The list is publicly archived, but glibc's maintainer (Ulrich Drepper) actively discourages public interaction for the project. The project's policy is that bug reports should almost always go through a Linux distribution, and to say it nicely, Drepper can be difficult to persuade.

Debian was in the process of switching to eglibc in order to avoid glibc (and Drepper), and fix issues they saw with the library.

So Mac/VMWare/Linux failed and the solution was to move to iPad/Linode? Did you consider just installing a Linux distro? Why do people who develop on Linux all day need OSX? I don't get it.

Definitely easy to use, but once I was on the preview page for my image, I didn't see an easy link to share right now. Is the link I'm on shareable? I think there should be a few default sharing options (other than Twitter/Facebook) right on the page: link, e-mail, maybe SMS?

Edit: I see the Sociable buttons that include e-mail, this should be much more obvious. Still don't see an obvious "Copy this link".
