Dunno about that. The single worst-looking one on the examiner.com page was the one about "adding in the real data to hide the decline", or whatever the exact wording was, and they explicitly discuss that one. (I am making no comment on whether what they say about it is convincing, nor about whether it's correct.)

This article conflates Chrome OS with the low-cost devices it will be running on. In reality, these devices will be able to run full-blown Windows or Linux as well; Chrome OS needs to prove that it can be better than a full-blown OS in some way (beyond just boot-up time, which is basically irrelevant).
Well, the foundation that manages the prize money fund operate according to the will of Alfred Nobel, and they can't add any prize.

However, you could do something like the economy prize which is actually awarded by the Swedish national bank, and is "in memory of Alfred Nobel". It'd be a bit more work to get such a new prize to be included among the others though. You could try bribing the King of Sweden, it might work! :-)
This makes a lot of sense. Debt is smart if you're buying assets you can sell for something close to what you paid -- like real estate, financial products, natural resources, or used textbooks. It would be expensive to liquidate that inventory, but they already have the email addresses of lots of college students with credit cards, so it wouldn't be that hard.
There's a lot of confirmation bias I think. Last year the winter around here was colder than usual, and you will not stop hearing people claim it's because of global warming. The next year people continue to use these anecdotes to justify the existence of global warming.

Ask HN: Please review my automated web testing startup, Browsera
http://www.browsera.com

I'd like to get some feedback on my automated web testing service startup, Browsera.

The service automatically detects major cross-browser rendering differences as well as scripting errors, and also provides screenshots. A significant difference from Browsershots/Litmus/BrowserLab/Superpreview is that it actually analyzes live DOMs and reports differences. And, its got features that allow it to crawl your site and even test pages behind login walls.

If you're a web developer or tester, please give it a try and let me know what you think.
It's also important to note:

"The study was conducted in Spain, a country with relatively high rates of alcohol consumption and low rates of coronary heart disease."

What I don't get is why some of these climate scientists have been so antagonistic to those like Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre who question the data and simply ask for the data sets to be made public. To the credit of RealClimate they seem to be acknowledging the need for greater transparency that would allay some of the allegations of collusion.

What is a bit troubling though is RealClimate could be interpreted as defending the status quo and the monopoly on data in their response to comments. They seem to suggest we should simply accept the studies if they are peer reviewed. They create something of a straw man in saying that there is no evidence of a global conspiracy (I'm really not sure how many serious people think that one really exists nor is it necessary to believe that there is one in order to question the data and the policy responses being crafted).

They also don't address the allegation of whether some of these scientists have started with the conclusions and searched for data to show that it exists - particularly given some of the substance in some of these emails. Surely, given how heated and politicized the debate has become there should be some acknowledgment that there could be confirmation bias. Is (more) empiricism too much to ask for?

Does the ID matter? Google still sees most of the page loads on the Internet.

I thought I was somewhat hidden when I started using a site-specific browser for GMail, to avoid Google's cookies in general browsing, but then I realized they still get my IP on every page I load. Surely it's not too difficult to match that with the IP I'm using GMail from, and so on.

Tracking the Hits Along the Musical The Long Tail
Considering the rather poor heat-to-light ratio in this discussion, I'm not sure that "get as much discussion as possible" is a terribly good goal. In any case, there's a "tragedy of the commons" risk here: every submitter, considered separately, wants to get their submission read and commented on, so every submitter wants to tweak their titles to be "empirically effective", and if that determines the actual titles then we end up with a front page full of sensationalist titles, all of them less informative than if everyone had refrained from attention-grabbing. And then everyone is worse off.
I think any conflation is quite intentional. For all practical purposes, ChromeOS will be inseparable from the devices that run it, much like the iPhone and the iPhone OS.

Google has been quite clear that ChromeOS will not be run on general-purpose hardware. ChromeOS is designed for low-cost low-power ChromeOS devices, that will be packaged more like an appliance than a traditional computer.

You might be able to force Windows or Linux onto one of these ChromeOS devices, but you'll have to hack it.
Indeed, but the risk varies considerably depending on the quantity. Otherwise visiting the supermarket or drug store would be a life-or-death decision. I'm having a little trouble believing that OSHA compliance in this case would require anything more stringent than wearing a pair of latex gloves (which have the side benefit of rendering those annoying anti-static wristbands unnecessary).

I once had the ability to find infinite lives, and other cheats, in Commodore 64 games using just the Action Replay cartridge's machine code monitor. I'm not as hot at it as I used to be, though.

One important function is to be able to hop off up the CPU address stack to find more important functions higher up (so you're in a "Print a letter" subroutine, called by a "Print a word" subroutine). This isn't in ICU yet.

I think he just left out a word: marketing. They know how to build it, for sure. Paul's point is that they're marketing it like it is music.
Ok, this game is great. It has fitting music, it's instantly addictive, and it raises your blood pressure.

I would have liked the difficulty level to remain low for a longer period of time. Also, it would be nice if there were other obstacles. After about 20 seconds of game play, it got pretty damn hard (read fast), and I wasn't able to memorize landmarks, which is crucial in fast pace, side scrolling, platformers.
Here's the article discussed in the post http://consumerist.com/5408885/smoking-near-apple-computers-... , but it doesn't give any real information either.
I like how your start up actually helps solve a real problem. Who's your competition? Does the subscription model make sense?

Are these people telling me i can't smoke in front of my computer? I do my own maintenance anyway(had to replace some fans a couple times, voided my warranty in the process). Sucks for ordinary people though. Hackers are sensitive to stupid rules, and in this case non-hackers got upset because of them, that means that the rules are extra stupid.
1. Assuming, for the sake of argument, the most uncharitable interpretation possible for all the quotations on display at the Examiner, it seems to me that most of them do not involve any sort of data-fudging.

2. I appreciate the rhetorical point you're making, but I prefer to distinguish between "not a scientist", "bad scientist" and "evildoing scientist". (But I do agree that if someone's found to have been falsifying results, whatever scientific work they've done is of little use to anyone unless there's some reliable way to disentangle the fraudulent and non-fraudulent bits.)
It's the submit button on the bottom of the page.
Very cool idea though! I love it! I can think of at least 50 bollywood songs right now which I can submit. I'm sure many music lovers will know much examples on top of their heads.
I've been viewing games through the prism of how many "almosts" they have lately. Canabalt is fun because you almost fall off dozens of times before you actually do (and when it happens you usually almost made it). Because you think your death was avoidable, and only barely occurred, you immediately want to try again.

Something almost happening is surprisingly compelling. Slot machines are a very pure implementation of this idea; if they just showed you all three symbols immediately you would never have that sense of something almost happening...
when is that, btw? I lost that google group in a computer somwhere.

"We are selling 400 times more games on iPhone than on Android," Rochefort said.

Unsurprising, as I just checked the android market and their site, and couldn't actually find any of their games for sale! No product results in no revenue. Now, maybe there are good reasons they're not shipping on Android, and an article about that would be really interesting to read. But this article is just a hit piece, sorry.
What's so great about the Dakotas? My guess is that there is a higher fraction of agriculture/rancher/self employed that simply scale back employment rather than the binary in or out of a job. "My small business is not doing very well" won't likely show up in unemployment statistics.
Your fundamental game mechanic seems fine (though maybe a little derivative, as I'm sure you're aware). I think the major problem is that the app doesn't feel as smooth as drop7, etc. The winning games have a tremendous sense of style. With a few relatively minor changes, I think the game would be a lot more attractive.

1) Get a more pleasing set of sounds. The high-pitched screeching you are going with currently when blocks blow up is torture for me. I like the sound when you die, however.

2) Make a game-mode for the beginner where it is easy to figure out the game mechanic. I died within a few rounds each time I tried. (Start with all little red block or whatever...) Make this auto-start the first time the game is opened.

3) Moves are too clunky. The blocks move to the side of the screen too slowly after the user presses a button. I would make this 3-4 times faster, or just eliminate it. Blocks also maybe fall a bit too slowly-- I would eliminate the pause before they fall.

4) There is too much visual clutter on the screen. Its nice of you to show the time and battery life on top, but this clashes with your application. Also, the colors of the score, and "Menu" "Help", etc. all clash a bit.

Good luck-- I think you fundamentally have a good game, and with just a bit of a nicer interface, you could do very well.

google is scared of having a bad reputation just like any other company. they know they cannot blatantly have faith in themselves, that their place at the top now is a precipice. I for one am glad they haven't let the power go to their heads that badly cause man it would suck having to wait for a startup to replace google.
Startup idea, anyone ?
Notice however, that it's not for well known remakes, more for not-so-obvious similarities.

Two great books, both by an engineer out of the UK.

The shenanigans that go on with the data, just to get an interesting result ... and thus a published paper, are disturbingly like the GW fiasco. These books definitely make you read these "Eating X helps with disease Y" kinds of headlines with a jaded eye.

That said, I think in this instance, the fact that alcohol thins the blood, (which many drugs prescribed to people at risk of heart disease also do) lends credence that there is causation here.

It's not only "totally alike", it's a total rip-off.
I'm a little puzzled here: what does Google gain out of this?

I thought their goal was to eventually insert video ads into videos; that goal will not be impacted by people watching videos on TV.

And it can't be copyright concerns either.
That's a good question, and one I've been thinking about a lot. Pricing is a tricky thing, so I went ahead and used the competitors models for pricing based on subscription.

It's certainly possible a per page or per test model might work better, but I haven't heard users ask for it yet.
The idea is OK, but one needs to have connections in typographic community to execute it. Going foundry by foundry and convincing them to take their heads out of DRM hole and consider simpler, unsexy options such as this one. This can translate into a lot of effort.

If Microsoft wants developers to develop for Silverlight so bad why don't they just make a Chrome OS plug-in? The thing is open source. Moonlight already runs on Linux. Wouldn't take a rocket scientist.

That's even if Google wants Silverlight to not work. They clearly support Flash and I suspect they want the Chrome OS to support the entire web including Silverlight sites.

So now you have open apps working on Windows and Silverlight apps working on Chrome while Robert Scoble just seems kind of stupid.
Can we get the two paragraph version of the technical case in favor of DRM now? I'm very curious.
its the little things we put into this that make it nice :)

The goal isn't to replace your desktop and "full-blown OS" with a Chrome OS device, but to supplement it with a purpose-built internet device.

Even if you could hack Windows 7 on to it, I'm sure would lag like hell on any hardware that's Chrome specific. Why else would Google be running their optimized browser, on an optimized OS, on an optimized hardware platform, but to cut down on processing requirements?
Android sales are almost certainly increasing faster than development cost, so I doubt that's the issue.

The likely reason is that Android doesn't yet have the critical mass behind it to make development profitable and Gameloft overestimated the speed of adoption to begin with. If enough Android handsets were out there, I think the criticism over the Marketplace and handset inconsistencies would be secondary to profit.
The idea is to leverage the best expertise on the net... not just what is available in any particular forum/site.

You seem to have missed the point of the article and instead fixated on the "azine" part. Unfortunate.
Just to comment on the often repeated claim of the unavailability of the data - try visiting:

http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ipcc/about_ipcc.php - contains all the models used in the IPCC AR4.

http://tamino.wordpress.com/climate-data-links/ - contains a huge amount of climate data.

http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/ccr/ammann/millennium/CODES_MBH.html - An independend re-evaluation of a climate reconstruction.

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/pubs/mann2008/mann2008.html - Full data for a late 2008 reconstruction.

Data is available - maybe part of the problem is the complexity and quantity of the data.
This is economics 101. If there were an alternative that were more profitable and green, don't you think somebody would already be doing it out of greed if not altruism?

No, the fact that those greedy capitalists must be forced to do it pretty much shows that it's losing money, relative whatever else they might do with that money.

And what might those alternatives be? Why, investing in new businesses to create jobs, improving infrastructure, etc.

Really, the idea that the government is so much wiser about business and economics than the corporations, so the laws will drag us kicking and screaming into prosperity, are just absurd. The government is incompetent at managing the entire system. And Friedrich Hayek's Nobel-Prize winning work proved that this is necessarily so -- it's absolutely impossible for any centralized authority to integrate all of the distributed data about needs, priorities, resource availability, etc. Only the distributed cloud of the market can do that.
FYI, the comments section has some more specific rebuttals from the author as well.
