So what's supposed to happen when my eye is already malfunctioning and i need glasses anyway? Can i adjust the focal point? How does it compensate for any cylindrical adjustments i might need? Does this work when it projects through my glasses?
As an already hipster-before-it-was-hip, wearing glasses because I need to see sharp, i've never seen any of these questions answered...
Will I feel disabled because I can't see what's projected by google glasses?
In spite of what MS promised, we still have no SQL filesystems.. I'd love one of those by now.
I have terabytes of data, photos, code, php, javascript, movies, chat logs all scatterd throughout different disks backed up when needed, double copies everywhere. I want something to manage this properly!
Any advise?

If MS would *just* embed the ie6 render engine (a *PROPER* one, including the bugs and 'features') into ie9, the whole world would be able to finally move on.
Please Microsoft, make us webdevelopers happy...
Popcorn hour and NMT mediatanks in general are just awesome. They run samba, stream your 1080p stuff through the air (mine does, over a 300mb wifi stick). Cheap (my 100% china clone was €120) and there's the NMT Community Software Installer, where you can install webservers, torrent clients, heck i'm browsing my library with my android remote!
If you want an option that can connect to anything you have available, have a look at popcornhour or something with an NMT chipset.
You have tried 15 *android* tablets?
I've actually seen *ONE* in real life, 230 on the 'We are creating an android tablet!' bandwagon, and maybe 4 that are for sale on chinavasion.com with 5-7" screens
Which have you tested then ? (and you know the ones you printed yourself on cardboard don't count!')
Since there are 1.5ghz processors and memory chips are about the price of poststamps, i tell all my friends and family to buy the *cheapest* computer they can find with the biggest harddisk.
Everything from 1.5ghz and up is just 'good enough' to do anything a normal consumer will ever do.
That's never failed.
Give them a bug, in your real software product, that traces back to an operating system level setting, and does not initially expose this in the error. (for instance, say max. open files is set to 20 on the box, and a php script opens 100 file handles and doesn't close them)
Tell them to trace this, and suggest a fix, and give them a couple of hours.
If you can debug an environment you don't know, it proves that you're able to understand new concepts, and even trace weird bugs in them. Any monkey can program PHP, anyone with enough time can get a degree, not much guys know how to find a bug properly and fast.
Too bad that the IE example doesnt properly in Chrome because it *requires* hardware accelleration (if that's either to their crappy javascript or the amaaaazing speedup they finally got working i'll leave in the middle)
The Good thing though: It really works!
I put it through it's paces with Peter Nederlof's (A.k.a. Clay) 3d javascript engine to see what part is crappy and what's working, and for now it looks AWESOME! The only thing that doesn't seem to work is click tracking on the canvas. speed wise it's quite similar to Chrome!

I think it's only a matter of time before many of these clusters will start using all processing power available to them, hell, even desktops and whatever app you build should detect, and use your GPU!
If compilers were to get even smarter, they could automatically route pieces of code that include calculations the GPU could do faster to the GPU, and otherwise just use one of the other cores available. This *should* be the future imo.
Actually, this is nothing new.
A couple of months ago the dutch colleagues at tweakers.net had a couple of great reports on how crappy the 'fingerprint security' USB drives are. Most of them are ont he same level of crappyness this one is.
Sitting in the train, minding your own business, with your cool eyeglasses on, and then somebody snitches your bag, coat, shoes and everything else you're not paying attention to:-D
Excuse me very much but I personally think that photoshop ITSELF could also benefit from a major UI overhaul.
I've always been a Paint Shop Pro fan because of this. I HATE bad UI design.
If people ask me "hey, why don't u do that in photoshop?" I reply: "I could, but I refuse to read a 900 page book to find what i'm looking for"
I would suggest strapping on a couple of octopus clamps to your back and controlling it by hand! At least, that's how dr. octopus did it in spiderman:P
I don't think there is a real problem here...
The problem mainly is the displaying of tags. The 'tag cloud' (and the person that invented it) should be banned from the internet and something better will have to be invented in the next couple of years.
Tags that work on site x don't have to work on site y and don't even have to have any relevance so why a standard?

Okay, i'd not go as far as adding the windows logo and microsoft copyrighted styling, but you have to admit: The windows themed one looks a *lot* better than the default theme of gnome which feels a bit '90s http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.30/figures/rnusers.nautilus.png.en_GB vs http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/113264-2.jpg
