This is really fun! I kind of would like to be able to select a few different "expressions" from the character I choose to emphasize the tone of what they say.
Is there any information on how computationally expensive this is?
Now the more interesting case I think has to do with mobile in ERP. These are often shared devices (for example portable data terminals of one sort or another, some of which are even phones too), and even when they aren't, you need some assurance that it's not a kid playing with the device.

Currently the work I have done in this area has been one of two two approaches:

1) The app stores the information and maybe sends it to the user in an email. Copy and paste into a text field in the ERP app, or

2) A traditional username/password login.

In these areas I don't see a better approach. Sometimes even invoices may be entered. You really need to know who is doing it.
Right. This was a few years ago, but a major web-site that I was involved with (+1M visitors per day) had more people running windows 3.1 than Linux.
A software engineer drafting up his own crazy license is on as solid footing as a lawyer drafting up his own crazy email server software.

This is yet another example of engineers' disease. Having experience in a narrow technical domain does not confer you expertise in other domains. Being a mechanical engineer does not make you qualified as an expert on climate science. Being a software engineer does not make you qualified as an expert on contracts.

Cracked itself isn't written to intellectually stimulate, but you're right that it can be. Their lists are frequently excellent starting points for Wikipedia/research binges, as they cover a lot of interesting topics. I'm often turned off by their style, but there's no denying that they've covered a lot of interesting things in their articles, albeit usually with a brief summary and a joke.
It's been 11 hours since you posted that. Apparently you can't find references slowly either.

It'd be pretty neat if there was an R[1] interpreter written in RPython, give any R scripts a free speed boost; that said, R has a pretty hairy grammar, so it might end up being easier to just switch to (for example) Julia.

"Offensive" context example: Imagine you're a woman in some mostly-islamic-and-not-so-women-rights-friendly country, you use this app on your phone and bang, your husband sees the loading screen joke about "other toys" (and of course he has an iphone and doesn't know about this app and the joke) ...only he can't remember seeing those toys himself so... who did you buy them for then? ...nex: let your ultra-violent imagination run wild
Hopefully enough of these get thrown out so the trolling will stop. Then we just have to worry about people stealing your technology overnight and turning every new innovation into a perfectly competitive market. I'm not being snarky, I think it's a tough problem to solve.

Of course, the "toughness" is in trying to preserve financial incentives and profit, when maybe we should all just be motivated for the better of humanity and to make the world a better place? But maybe that's the folly of man and we are asking too much. In which case as a species we get what comes to us.

I think that's enough existentialism for one night.

I can see (a) and (c), but what part of this scenario leads to (b)? The fundamental assertion underlying the desire for a paid network is that ad-supported networks are inherently worse for users because the network is built with advertisers in mind instead of users in mind. A paid network may very well bring in less money than an ad-supported network, but as long as it brings in enough money to operate I don't see the problem.
Give me a hundred billion dollars in tax money to flush every year and I'll give you a Tesla-like result once every decade. What, you wouldn't consider that a stellar return on investment?

You need to change the video so it would be clear: WHAT IS THE PRODUCT
Yeah more or less. The actual paper is about materials exploiting solid/solid phase transitions to achieve this type of behavior. Obviously, the solid/liquid transition is less useful in many applications, so it'd be cool to get a purely solid substance to do this.
Explains why they tried, doesn't explain why they are sticking to it, unless they imagine the story, both in terms of market penetration and developer support, is going to get considerably better.

The Tricky Math Of A $99 Game Console
It may not add totally new information, but it does more than create an image that looks nicer. It's not just inventing plausible information, it's providing the most likely new information given the available data. For example, "given what we can see of that eye chart, it's most likely the little blob is a 'G'". So it's adding new interpretive statistical information, which could be pretty helpful in some situations.
Right. Another example is the only W (on the bottom line) mistaken as a M.

The M first shows on the third from the bottom, but not very clear, but tries to reconstruct it; then it uses that M to replace the M the second from the bottom, finally it guesses that W (only known as a 4x3 pixel blur on the bottom line)is a M.

It's also interesting that the bottom M is skewed out a little on it's top right corner to match the fuzzy W shape.
Android Tops U.S. Smartphone Buys, Windows Phone Still Struggling
Yep, since it's essentially just copyright law with no fancy licence involved: I made X, you're using it without permission.
The takeaway ...

"Microsoft is still struggling to make a dent in the mobile market. Its aging Windows Mobile platform actually outpaced the newer Windows Phone at 3 percent vs. 1.3 percent, Nielsen found. Despite Microsoft's close ties to Nokia, meanwhile, most Windows Phone users are using Samsung or HTC devices, both capturing 0.5 percent to Nokia's 0.3 percent."

On Amazon, you can buy a 2 year service contract for a Lumia phone and it costs just a penny for the phone. Are they actually dumping excess inventory?
the Windows Phone platform is going through some churn. With the new Windows 8, apps can share the marketplace so you can target the Windows installed base with your apps too. If you have already spent efforts developing the app, leaving it there seems worth it.
That’s No Phone. That’s My Tracker
Are you ready for a paid Twitter?
You could also turn off 3G/4G and calls on your smartphone, but keep wifi. I just tried this on my Android ICS phone and it's pretty easy to accomplish. Enable airplane mode — which will disable calls, data and wifi — then re-enable wifi. The device can't text or call, but loading websites works.

By itself, at least for me, this would probably really limit my social life. I'd miss spontaneous texts and calls like "I'm in your neighborhood, want to grab tea?" But I wonder if this airplane mode trick, plus a VoIP app, plus some kind of internet-based text message replacement, might solve the problem. Has anyone tried this?

Funny because that is exactly the time that I advise most people to make their announcements. When there are just as many people surfing the web looking for news (our numbers at Techcrunch were higher pageviews per post on weekends) but all the mainstream journalists and the PR people you are competing with for attention are at home asleep.

The tech blogs that run 24/7 are dying for stories at this time of the week since the PR production line comes to a halt on Friday. This announcement is the second biggest tech story today[1] and has attracted comment from a bunch of blogs. I think it barely would have registered on a Monday or Tuesday.

What do you think about consumers who complain about their ISP?

Or, should you be able to call the police while you're being robbed if you sued as a victim of police brutality in the past?

The claims seem absurd, but that doesn't mean the plaintiff should be fought using any means possible including outside of court. It sets a terrible precedent, and would apply to plaintiffs you're more likely to agree with.

Really, even Samsung and Apple continue to do business with each other in the midst of suing eachother.
Essentially ...

"The way that Microsoft has taken a scalpel to Windows prices suggests that the company is less concerned about the effect that this will have on its bottom line and more concerned about the long-term effect that Windows 8 failing, similar to the way Vista did, would have on the company. Microsoft's priority, it seems, is to get Windows 8 installed on as many machines as quickly possible as possible."

Does anyone else think that the radically changed Metro UI sets up another 'Vista'?
Whether or not it means anything depends upon which judge/jury might be deciding it, but if you forked at that commit and didn't use any of his code post that change you'd have a pretty good case that the modified terms don't apply to you since he publicly 'released' that version under the traditional BSD license (or optionally GPLv3).
Nobody Will Ever Fund Your Startup
Not necessarily - it depends on whether it's work for hire.

The point being that in some cases you may not have authority to grant that part of the license, and having a blanket "All your codes are belong to Zed" is potentially a good way for Zed to get sued.
The iPad will Mirror the iPod's Market Dominance. Here's Why and Why It Matters.
It took android a couple of years after it was launched to actually take off...
The takeaway ...

"Consider this: no significant competing products yet exist for the iPad. The category is exploding and is expected to overtake the computer category by 2015 or 2016. The iPad dominates the category, and its domination could grow stronger with a smaller iPad Mini. Purchasing decisions for the iPad are more similar to that of the iPod, which today still commands two-thirds of the MP3 player market, and are not distorted by the telecommunication industry dynamics."

Who else thinks that an iPad mini will compete strongly with the Kindle Fire and Google Nexus 7?
I'm going to pull the following statement out of my ass, but I'm willing to bet it's probably true:

"There are already laws punishing theft and fraud in America."

The law doesn't apply to everyone in the same way. Making a new severe law to punish Wallstreet crime sounds exactly like the kind of thing that will have no lasting effect. These bankers pay our politicians, inject themselves into regulatory bodies, lobby for lower oversight/more exemptions, they know how to get around this stuff.

This problem needs to be tackled on an infrastructural level.
We need some basic state-owned utility banks in America, that'd be a start, something like they've got over in Germany:

Javascript-Generated Ambient Drone (requires Chrome)
So, this is a service where I'll pay $5 a month -ish to use a network that's basically the same as Twitter (in particular, not decentralized), except with no users and, considering the amount of effort being put into Twitter clients, probably inferior clients? It'll have no ads, but the ads on Twitter are pretty minimal from what I've seen, and presently as a third party client user I don't get any. It'll be open to "apps" which can extend the experience (and have a longer character limit), but to me Twitter's simplicity is its core selling point. It'll supposedly be used by the top 10,000 hackers, but identi.ca already tried that and it didn't work - network effect is important.

I love the spirit of this, but as described, I wouldn't use the service if it were free. Twitter isn't even in the same ballpark as SourceForge. shrug

I'm curious why Google isn't on the list?

Hadoop is basically a clean room implementation of MapReduce and GFS anyway, to the point where Google graciously offered Apache a liberal patent license just to make sure Hadoop users didn't worry about Google coming after them when their patents came through on this stuff.
Over time people are far more likely to accumulate more accounts. The longer someone has been on the net the more accounts they are likely to have. Making life difficult for this group of people doesn't seem sensible.

I love this article about an ecommerce site and requiring people to register: http://www.uie.com/articles/three_hund_million_button/

Note one statistic: Later, we did an analysis of the retailer's database, only to discover 45% of all customers had multiple registrations in the system, some as many as 10.

That puts the order of magnitude of people having more than one account around half. That of course doesn't mean that people have multiple Google accounts, just multiple accounts but Google is becoming increasingly pervasive being the email provider for companies, universities, organisations etc.
Mobile Game Graphics: A Remarkable Evolution
have you tried using that "free global network" outside of the usa? at least here in chile, things that you would get replaced for free (like those damn frayed power supply cords) just don't get replaced. you have to buy new ones. i haven't had any free service here for macs (my partner uses them and i get to fix them) - am reduced to buying bits on ebay and doing it myself (and am proud owner of a diverse collection of obscure driver bits as a consequence).
The product we have built is very similar, but not as ambitious as this proposal. That is the fork in the road.

I am going to a followup post explaining this more. This first post was probably too long as it is.
One can claim Google's design was crude without claiming its design was worse than Lycos and Altavista.

It's especially easy to claim one without the other when the whole argument is that design is not a competitive edge for search engines.
This argument is bupkis. The reason for not advertising is more around the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

For example, I remember hearing that Yammer and StockTwits toyed with building on top of Twitter at one point, and decided that they were best off building separate networks.

I was just thinking of Hiphop and XHP, and they both seem like a huge amount of work and I've heard about improvements to the interpreter to optimize it for their servers... of course it might all be FUD for competitors, they might actually have everything coded in Common Lisp behind the scenes ;)
