This is the sound of the old dynasty dying. These disputes are not uncommon, they are getting less uncommon as time goes on. Eventually the 'content' company like Viacom will demand so much money for their content there will be no distributor willing to distribute it (because they can't make any money doing so) and then folks like John Stewart's production company will have a pull a C.K. Lewis and drop the middle man. Welcome to the real world Neo.
From the video link further down the comments it clearly states that it uses ultrasound at around 50kHz, which is then transformed back into about 30V, but I didn't pick up any information about how much power is actually transmitted.

As for safety, they state that it is above human hearing, and bounces off skin, so does not penetrate tissue like the high frequency ultrasound used for medical scans. Not too sure about the high freq claim, as some "ultrasound" devices give me a headache even though they are supposed to be above human perception.

The idea seems to be to charge a battery in the flash-drive sized charging adapter, and then use this to charge whatever appliance you plug into it. They mentioned about 3hrs for full charge for this adapter, but again, not sure how much power this equates to.

Really, so anything that doesn't criticize Microsoft is a Microsoft advert? Then does that make most of the tech blogosphere one giant Apple advert?

There's more to Persona than liberating you from your password column.

Nevertheless, there are still huge classes of applications that don't benefit from social features, but do want the improved experience that Persona can offer. Think banks, universities, corporations, and governments.

So even in the absolute worst case versus Facebook Connect, we still have enormous potential for alleviating the pain of per-site passwords and containing the damage from security breaches in day to day life.
Sorry but I don't see how this would work for me. Sitting there for an entire 50 minute watching someone code? I would leave immediately. There's more to a talk than simply showing people how something works. Talks are about sending a clear and simple message to your audience. Highly detailed things simply tend to bore anybody, even fellow coders, and are also highly subjective.
Ah, but if everyone from DirecTV is coming online, there's suddenly a larger audience, and higher fees cn be negotiated.

On the other hand, that also increases costs for Viacom and it doesn't support the overall stable of shoes.

Text-based conversations are not in-person conversations! Text-based communication has existed for centuries prior to Facebook, and existing social protocols are perfectly capable of handling "seen" notifications. "Sorry, I didn't get your message" and other half-truths are an essential part of human interaction. If you want to know if your friends received a text message, just ask them. Instantaneous "X saw your message" notifications are an intolerable intrusion into private behavior, as they can convey unintended meaning without verifying user intent, especially in multi-party conversations.

Aside from the mangling of social behavior, "seen" is an impossible flag to get right. Maybe someone else was using the PC, maybe the person shut their PC down without looking at their browser window, even though the browser window was focused, etc.
What a fantastic tool. Thanks!

Sparrow (iPhone) fails Email Privacy Test
Radial power transfer efficiency drops off proportional to r^2, as does omni-directional sound. Unless there is some sort of directional beam established to focus the energy transfer, I imagine these power losses will indeed occur. Note that room effects may well be non-negligible - reflections may mean more power arrives at the receiver than the naive estimate.

So I would imagine the ceiling mounted charging station would be a fairly heavy duty outfit with a multi-kW rating if it is to be able to service a large room.

Wait, "The Amateur Scientist"? When did that run? I was very inspired by the mathematical recreations column of SciAms as a kid. Who knows what I would have become had I also found an Amateur Scientist column :-/
Do they have any collections of that by chance? There was one for the mathematical recreations (or computational recreations, not sure anymore).
Yeah, I know that there are many institutions and people. But those people create a whole system. And I guess there are not so much players in that market that can develop such cure without any help. Research itself is expencive and nobody can just state he created cure for cancer and let people test it. They need much money to make it legal medicine. Can you tell me how much people/institution has enough resources to do that?

Moreover I guess medicine is quite homogenous as a science. What if way they are looking for that cure is simply wrong? What if law specifies wrong ways of testing drugs? Is it easy to change the law? If way of looking is wrong, I guess it's extremely hard to get money for research since people who decide rather trust the science. If law don't let find cure, I think it's even more difficult.

I think the key is to choose your technology and customer base carefully.

A lot of the fear I detect here is along the lines of "what if (something breaks|customer calls) at 4am on the day my wife is giving birth???" The reality for me in the last five years is that's not something you need to worry about.

My sites generally don't break, and not because I'm awesome or anything. They don't break because they're built on a stack that doesn't need any attention pretty much ever, and for the most part they don't try to do anything particularly remarkable. Reading/writing from databases and displaying the results on a web page is pretty much solved. You get four nines right out of the box unless you go out of your way to choose a flaky platform.

My customers do actually call from time to time, but it's not the sort of thing I'd consider getting out of bed to worry about. The ones that pay money generally get a response within a day, and the ones that don't pay me anything will probably get a response when I get around to it. That, also, has worked perfectly well for the last five years.

So while it did in fact turn out that I had a "crisis" at 4am while my wife was giving birth, it was in no way a priority for me to do anything about it just then. I had much more important things on my mind. Putting off the disaster recovery process possibly led to losses in the two, possibly three figure category. Fortunately as a single founder, that's the sort of decision I get to make all by myself.
Student wants a bit of direction
Hey,

I am currently finishing my second year of study as a Computer Science Major. About 12 credits away from my AA. Honestly... These programming classes suck. They don't teach me much other than printing out to the screen and getting a bit of input. Maybe a bit of manipulation but that is mostly it.
I have tried to do stuff on my own and read through beginner books (Intro/Begginer books on C++, C, Lua, Python) and even the "Serious" programmer books (Currently reading Pragmatic Programmer. Next on the list is Code Complete and Productive Programmer). I just lose my way though. Once I know some of the language, I try to think of ways to make little projects and such but to no avail.
I want to work with AI. Mainly Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. It's just what I want to do. Is there any advice anyone is willing to give? Maybe some open source project to point me to?

Thanks for reading. Have a nice Day/Night! xD

Search Engine Optimisation Melbourne
Here comes the role of SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and his basic task is to promote a website by considering the working process of Search Engine.The visibility of a website can also be improved by doing cross linking between pages of same website to provide more links to important pages. Regular updation of contents adds additional weightage to a site as it keeps search engine crawling back frequently.

So we can say that the need of SEO is increasing day by day. Specifically, if we talking about Melbourne, the field of SEO has a good scope. There is a good market of SEO over there as the graph for number of clients showing a rapid growth rate.

No, I meant that it's unfair to expect custom-tailored advice out of a mass media.

Perhaps all startup advice is entertainment, i.e. entreporn, for you, but my response to that is that you need to work on how you seek out and absorb that advice, because that's not the case for everyone, so if you feel this way you're missing a trick somewhere.

Do you also think Peepcode screencasts and programming books are worthless? And yet, they never offer personalised advice. All they promise is "I will try to teach you how to do this stuff, and use a contrived example to show you how I might do it, and hopefully it's of some use to you."

Business advice is no different - if you want it customised to your situation, hire a consultant, don't read a book...

> There's more to a talk than simply showing people how something works.

Exactly. Most talks are "show you something working" which is of extremely low value. That stuff is easy to pick up for most people. It's why most talks are dry and boring. You've reached the conclusion far faster than the speaker can get to it.

The real value is in the transitions. From nothing to something. From broken to working (like when Rob hit unexpected errors, the same way you would if you were tinkering for the first time). That's where I learned something in Rob's talk.

> Sitting there for an entire 50 minute watching someone code?

Yeah why go to a talk if you have to pay attention? The nerve!

I imagine a ubiquitous feature in every business smartphone that just broadcasts your vCard to nearby smartphones if you want to be contacted.

A good pair of men's dress shoes or boots should last for several years. Hell, a good pair of boots should last decades for most people. Low to mid range female shoes won't last more than a few months. It definitely makes good sense to focus on selling low to mid range female shoes when your primary concern is volume.
I expect much of the remaining whining comes from the disparity between stakeholders wanting to support everyone, and their developers wanting to let the IE holdouts suffer the consequences.

I agree with a lot the author's views. The fact is that as long as you cater to problems of the past, you are stuck with them. If you start giving people a compelling reason to upgrade, many will.

In the LedgerSMB project we made a decision back in 2006 to only support browsers with features that made our lives easier. Because of our i18n framework, we decided to drop all support for all browsers that didn't support button elements per the standard. Yes, at the heigh of IE6, we dropped support for IE6. However, we could do this because would tell businesses "if you want to use LedgerSMB, install Firefox." This wouldn't have worked for the general public, but for the general public we probably wouldn't have done i18n much at all. But anyway we chose buttons because according to the standard, what you display and what is submitted are only loosely coupled, which makes i18n easier (just translate the inner string and leave the value constant).

IE6 handled buttons horribly. When you clicked on a button element of type submit it would send the value of all buttons on the form. Worse, it submitted the wrong information (innerHTML instead of value). This made it impossible on the server side to see which buttons were actually clicked. Too bad. Then IE7 came out and it was better. We thought at first we could support it. But we were wrong. IE7 still sent innerHTML instead of value.

We had to wait until IE8 to support IE again.

I think that this is what the author is getting at when he laments people blaming circumstances they can't control. We looked at it and we asked "what choices do we have? What should we do?" We then decided that we wouldn't be hurt too badly at the time by dropping IE and that turned out to be a good bet. In the end it really is about choices and how we think about them. An e-commerce site may have different choices available than we did. But you make your choices and you do the best you can.
> what are the odds if encountering a crazy person with such skills?

Don't underestimate the odds a person with such skills becomes crazy

EDIT: I don't meant necessarily getting crazy because of the skills. For example I know a mathematician who had a stroke 5 years ago and recovered; he told that after the surgery, he now feels the urge of going out and watching all registration plates and play with those numbers. He says it's because he was doing this sort of thing the moment he got the stroke, so somehow his brain stuck into that. Honestly I have no idea, but the thing that strikes me more is his self consciousness of this situation. He suffers severe emotional and memory issues but he got a job and tries to get back his life.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm curious to know why, exactly, it does hurt web development? I believe more people use modern Gecko/WebKit than there are iPhones, yet we'll happily make an entire application that is limited to the just the iPhone device and not think twice.

Is this a case of taking statistics too far? To hear that only 50% of the people with web browsers can use your application doesn't sound great, never mind that 50% in real numbers is far greater than 100% of iPhones (or whatever, insert your own example here).
