Android Market Search is broken...for developers 
for the last few months the Android Market search facility has been broken.
When you search for an app why name/description you are shown the number of possible results (usually in the thousands) but when you scroll down you are only ever allowed to see about 20 results.
eg: search for ringtones it shows 25479 results but only the top 20 are ever shown in the results list.

Google have listed this error as a known bug and have it up on their "known issues" page (http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs)
but it's not fixed in the latest version of the market (from your article: http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/01/android-market-v3-3-11-apk-now-available-adds-auto-update-by-de/) and has been evident for months -
at least since August (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=0fe7684aaf99d3cc&hl=en)

The issue here is that it's really hurting app developers - unless you're being favoured by Google and have your app featured, or is a top selling app it's very difficult to be found anywhere on the market.
This hurts new, smaller developers who have no way of making their new app visible, unless they're willing to fork out a healthy chunk of change to get their app advertised - usually forked over to Google themselves
via their Ad network purchase Admob. I'm not saying these facts are related just very aware that this is a problem which needs to be fixed.

After a year of working on a midsize AppEngine project targeted at large enterprises, I can honestly say that AppEngine's only truly redeeming quality is its Google integration. Our product is an add-on for Google Apps; AppEngine runs on the same infrastructure; big companies like that.

If this doesn't apply to you, choose an up-to-date, cheaper, more versatile, far less tedious deployment platform. I've spent the past 10 years developing, deploying, and maintaining web applications of most sizes and I've never had a harder time "scaling" usage of mere GB of stored data. Maybe if I had 100TB then AppEngine would make the "impossible possible"; for the rest of the 99.999999% of the Internet, it makes the formerly trivial insanely tedious.

There's everything wrong with that. There are huge benefits to handling the internet as a linked graph of documents and resources. Try writing a site that loads all its content via Javascript and see how well you rank in Google.

I have nothing against the existence of web applications, as long as it's recognized that they have a fundamentally different nature and purpose than a web page. The W3C doesn't always make decisions that are right for everybody, but they've done a pretty decent job of preserving the ideal of a document/resource-centric web. And it's important that it stays that way.
He's creating value of course, and if this hadn't been downvoted to the bottom of the page you'd have gotten a lot more 'economics isn't zero-sum' type replies. Politics, that is influence in politics, is zero-sum however, and wealth is a huge factor, perhaps the biggest factor, in determining that influence. So while economics isn't zero-sum, it gives you a somewhat proportional stake in a game that is, which is where the problem with wealth disparity lies.

I think this is exactly why this method is so effective. Google's index all of those sites.

The first result when I searched the hash for superman (84d961568a65073a3bcf0eb216b2a576) was a link to a page titled literally
"Google Hash: md5(superman) = 84d961568a65073a3bcf0eb216b2a576", the page is hosted at(http://www.nth-dimension.org.uk/utils/ghash.php), basically someone's gone through the trouble of making a rainbow table that's easily crawlable that makes this method of lookup via Google even easier.

The page has a description:

> Google Hash is a PoC implementation of an hash search engine using Google.
> Unlike other implementations, the aim here is to get Google to store the
> word and associated hash. We do this by putting them into the title where it
> will always be stored by Google's spider....

The next top hit is md5rainbow.com etc. etc.
I would guess that most of the positive results from BozoCrack.rb are thanks these sites.
Unlimited Voice and SMS to other carriers is expensive. Look at Twilio's pricing or Skype's pricing, or any other voip provider. Text and calling to your own network is essentially free, but off network gets expensive. Granted, I don't know how big of a cut these voip providers take, but I can't imagine it's that high.

Put it together with usage data, you quickly get over $19:

I've been watching Codecademy off and on for a while and I think your comment finally touched on something that I seem to have missed this whole time: you're not focusing on creating the content, you're focusing on making it easy for people to create and find high-quality content.

I see you have a signup form for course creators, but I'm not seeing any data on what exactly you want to focus on (is reverse-engineering out of scope, for instance?), whether or not course creators are paid, etc. I'd love to be involved, but just don't have enough information to go on yet; if you could fill in the blanks, I'd greatly appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
"50 Images that are now YOURS" is a bit misleading. The point of the Creative Commons License is that the images still belong to Wired, but now others are allowed to use them. This will only contribute to the "Creative Commons means it's free for me to use however/wherever I want" mindset.

I really doubt it. To be blunt, Apple is an existence proof that security on consumer products doesn't provide business value in proportion to its cost. Keeping users safe is seldom worth investing in.

Hmmm. I appreciate the way you laid out your argument, I'm not sure I understand it entirely though. I agree that the concept of authorship is not very logical in the context of your example, but I don't know of any HTML spec which requires defining an author for each document? I think my point was that it's pretty easy to mark up data in a semantic-enough way using the current tools. A wall post doesn't need to be a document of its own, it can be an item in a list of wall posts that make up part of a bigger page. I agree that "document" is sort of a silly metaphor for that use case, but that doesn't make HTML any less useful. We could use XML, but that would basically be the same thing. We could use JSON, but again... it's just another way of drawing the same relationships. I suspect that I've completely missed your point though, in which case I apologize and please be patient with me!

With regard to the rest of your comment (7 unrelated technologies, deep layers of markup, huge numbers of LOC, etc) I agree, but as you said - how could it be fixed? The reality is that the web performs a complicated function. It would be nice to abstract the nuts and bolts behind it away cleanly, and I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that could happen in our lifetime, but it's also not unreasonable to expect that developing for a complicated platform will be complicated.
Python 2.7 may be present in the SDK (which is great!), but it's still in experimental mode:

It would be pretty interesting if Republic Wireless allowed their phones to connect to the Darknet. There'd be no technical reason why they wouldn't, except perhaps they'd need to beef up their cheap Android phones with mesh protocols to form their own nodes.

If the cause is indeed that it takes longer to get on top of increasing complex fields, then it doesn't bode well for the singularity - when scientists run out of lifespan (e.g. you have to be over 100 to get on top of the field), no more breakthroughs.
Of course, it would be really cool if the entire field was overturned with a new abstraction that simplifies the previous epicyclic complexity, and opening up a new surface for young scientists to pioneer. Will that happen? Or is the complexity we see irreducible? I prefer the former...

Seems more like "Genius strikes later unless there is a revolutionary breakthrough in your field, in which case it strikes early." Makes sense, since a breakthrough typically opens the door for other relatively low-hanging breakthroughs.

In iOS 5 you get instant camera access from your lock screen. This lets you quickly pull out your iPhone (or iPad and iPod touch of course) and take pictures without having to unlock the iPhone or clicking on the camera app. Here’s how to do this:

http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/14/camera-lock-screen-ios-5/

And once you are in the camera app, you can use the Volume Up button as a shutter to take pictures.

I've also noticed that the camera records what the action was at the time the shutter button's pressed, perhaps even a moment before the button was pressed, as though it's recording a continuous buffer and reaching back into it a few frames.

There are also a couple video apps that record a continuous buffer, and when you "start" a recording, they start it retroactively, so you can press record after something neat happens and not miss video of the event itself. The one I use has the great "Philip K Dick"-esque name Precorder:

It's more funny with TPDSAA because the images look like the fake testimonials you would find in actual advertisements. So there's a meta-ness to it.
I don't know the financial breakdown, but it's worth noting that Bandwidth.com — the company behind Republic Wireless — actually runs the VoIP backbone that powers Twilio, Google Voice, and other services. So I'd imagine they get a better rate :)
Take a short break in a quiet place
I've used Google before at work.

We inherited a system, without inheriting the administrator passwords, that we had to work on. It was a spaghetti mess, so creating a new account didn't seem obvious, and I wasn't sure how the passwords were hashed, but they did seem md5-like to me, so I googled one.

Turns out, 90% of them, including most of the admin passwords, were just four numeric characters, like 9678.
You know, I realize a lot of life falls into the "shopping cart" effect. If there's 5 lines at the grocery store, there's an 80% chance you'll see another line moving faster than yours (there's only a 20% chance you picked the fastest line).

I've recently turned 30 but realize there is no race to make it. Not for me anyway. Maybe I'm turning Zen about it but who really cares when you "succeed"? "The people that mind don't matter, and the people that matter don't mind."

By the way, Colonel Sanders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Sanders) began franchising KFC at age...65
So why does it underline the word "the" when that wasn't the word that was misinterpreted? Of course, Siri doesn't know what you intended, so it can't know which word it got wrong... but it doesn't seem that Siri would have thought that the word "the" was in doubt...

tangent/hypothesis: Does it just highlight some word in a sentence, to give you a hook? Perhaps the first word of an noun-phrase that Siri wasn't sure of? Assuming Siri uses grammatical structure to try to constrain the possible ways to recognize particular words in speech, perhaps it really isn't sure which word was wrong? (though in the noun-phrase case, I would think that underlining the entire phrase would make more sense to the user).
Google+ Pages Age Selector Signals End of 18+ Age Limit
It easily qualifies as an exploit, given that Apple's app store model is based on the fact that each app is reviewed beforehand to ensure various properties, including the property that the app does not contain spyware, etc. If Apple approved a harmless app, and then said app downloaded code that snooped on the user's calls or asked for their credit card number, that's an exploit.
Crowdsourcing instead of ratings agencies
As @jkincaid points out, this is a Bandwidth.com company.

Bandwidth.com has built up a whole country-wide internet backbone system of their own to carry VOIP traffic (they carry Google Voice, for example), with lots of connectivity to the local area terminal points (I forget the jargon for that).

We're really happy with Phonebooth.com (another Bandwidth initiative), who provide unlimited VOIP service (with a full virtual business PBX) to North America at $20/user/month. (And who apparently don't charge for calls to Europe (at least Ireland), as I found out recently.) It's perfect for our little 4-man distributed company; we each have a VOIP phone on our desks and can pretend we're all in the same office with extensions, etc.

Bandwidth.com seems like a company to watch...
tl;dr The author illustrates the corruption of the ratings agencies in the recent financial situation through anecdotes and statistics, leading up to his proposal to replace the function of ratings agencies with what amounts to crowdsourcing (although he does not use that word).

> Do you believe that everyone who becomes wealthy by definition must have created value? And that everyone who creates value by definition becomes wealthy?

The latter, sadly, does not inherently hold true; many times people create value but do not manage to get any value for themselves. That situation has improved drastically, but I'd certainly love to see it improved even further.

For the former: ignoring theft and fraud, by definition they created value for someone, or they wouldn't have gotten paid. We can argue over whether we would prefer them to have created value in another way, but we don't get to choose that; that remains between them and whoever chose to give them money.

If you want to improve that situation to create value in ways you'd prefer, then I'd suggest working to ensure that good mechanisms exist to help people get value from activities you'd prefer to see rewarded, and try to get people to take advantage of them. For example, crowdfunding programs like Kickstarter enabled many creative people to benefit directly from the value they create. We could use a hundred more ideas as novel and useful as crowdfunding; that would help greatly.

Or, to put it another way, coming up with such an idea and implementing it would greatly amplify your own ability to create value, and in doing so it would allow you to create the kind of value you'd prefer.
You are taking the word "paid" over-literally. I put it in quotes for a reason.

"wanting to know" without also having the ability to help and without the other party appreciating your concern (i.e. it's not a personal communication) is not "concern for a fellow human" - it's curiosity. There isn't anything wrong with that, but don't make it out to be nobler than it is.

Eyestrain is also caused by staring at a bright light (your computer screen) and then at a dark area (anywhere else, if you're in a cave) repeatedly. This causes your pupils to do an expand/contract dance and results in your retinas getting blasted with unexpected light repeatedly.

Steve Jobs’ Plans to Disrupt the Textbook Industry
I don't disagree with anything you have said here, only unless you also advocate a drastic overhaul of our educational system your proposals would seem to be nothing other than the most cynical form of wealth redistribution.

I think the social status quo would fall within a generation or two if the structural barriers to education were removed.

Humans have a strong desire to thrive intellectually and to understand the world. The US K-12 system has done much to stifle that and train people to be obedient workers.

The official ones seem pretty ineffective. A child went missing 300miles from here a month ago, the freeway signs were all announcing an amber alert.
But the first thing the police in the next state - less than 10miles from his home - knew about it was when it reached the national news, apparently only federal crimes require contacting neighboring forces.
Some of these images are interesting, but I'd be very hard-pressed to call any great. Journalistic composition style / centered subjects at average distance and normal focal length, as-found lighting, some missed focus, several are crying out for a caption to find meaning (e.g., Ballmer).

"Bandwidth.com, Inc., a privately held telecommunications company in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, announced today that it has signed a commercial deal with the Verizon wireline companies under which the parties agree to terminate each other's VoIP traffic at a rate of $0.0007 per minute."

This is for landlines, but still a much lower number than I was expecting to see.
