With NameTag, Glass users will be drawing from an archive that delves into the library of faces from dating networks, the National Sex Offendery Registry, and a set of criminal databases (public, the lot of them, of course).
If it recognizes someone you've never met before there is a 2 in 3 chance they are a rapist or other criminal

Asm.js Gets Faster

If you are writing assembly in javascript you are doing it wrong. A web browser is supposed to display documents, not run desktop applications.
If you are writing desktop applications (ie. a windows PC) for a web browser, then yes, you are doing it wrong. "who needs native code" is certainly over-stating things. HTML + Javascript is appealing when you want to write an application - what smartphones call "apps - that runs on as many platforms - architectures, operating systems, screen sizes - as possible without rewriting all of your code 300 times for each device. If you can write your main code once and have it run on your xbox, playstation, samsung S4, blackberry, iphone, PC, linux, mac, your refrigerator and barbeque then why wouldn't you do that! And with html + javascript there is no installation required - just send a mass email with a shortcut to the webpage for everyone that needs it. It's more like "who needs 300 different versions of the same native code"
If you really need to process dynamic data with that level of control and efficiency with the result put on a dynamic web page, then you need a daemon or some service application doing it, and have JS pull the result. NOT make JS do the entire damn thing.
so you are saying you should spend money beefing up your server so you can present info from the client, to that very same client, after doing some calculations it could have done itself? If the client already has a system capable of doing its share of the work, then why not distribute the load and enable it to do so?!
just because their brain processes things faster it doesn't mean they can move fast enough to get out of the way. Consider the size of a flyswatter in relation to the size of the fly
so let me get this straight. linus says this release is "fairly normal" (ie. nothing special), and someone thought "hey I should post this to slashdot!"?
as with any art form - whether it is pottery, drawing, or music - there will be those who do it for fun, and those who do it for the money. Those who do it for fun by themselves are sure to gain greater respect from there peers then those who do it for profit and pay someone to do the hard work for them.
I would hardly call it programming, more like re-configuring. You are not creating new lego bricks, you are just moving them around and coloring on them
oh, and with dial-a-bottle I can get beer and smokes(if that's your thing) within the hour too. Beer, smokes, and pizza - what more could a guy want!(if you're gonna say sex, some escorts do house-calls)
1. You can take it to the beach (and not worry about getting sand in it)
2. You can read it in full sunlight
3. You can photocopy pages from a book
4. You can write in them, tear out pages, or cross out swear words so your children can read them (my school used to do this)
5. You can display them in your study to show off and look smart
6. They are more environmentally friendly then e-waste
7. You can take only one on a trip and not have your entire library list on displayed for anyone who uses your e-reader
8. They never need to be recharged
9. You can use them to level furniture in your house
10. You can kill bugs with them
last time they pulled that stunt with DX10 and vista, game developers began switching to openGL instead of using DX10. what makes them think game devs will use the latest DX that no players are using this time around? Any serious gamer knows enough about computers to not use windows 8
FYI: google chrome has this same "bloat" in development and stable builds as well as true bloat like NaCl - a brand new interpreted language on top of javascript that no one uses
Every browser, even IE, has support for the subset of javascript - that is the whole point! What is significant is that it has been OPTIMIZED for the asm.js subset
Slashdot Mirror
IE at 22.82% and falling
chrome at 43.67% and rising
firefox at 18.88% and falling slightly
safari at 9.75% and rising slightly
there is a strong correlation between chrome and IE in both gains and losses
ever heard of the first amendment? I'm not even a US citzen and I know about it.
why is this nerdy? because it was a recumbent tricycle?!

bitcoin was invented solely for buying and selling drugs on the internet. It is evil and must be stopped. queue the ridiculous headlines
Amaze is a loose acronym for Additive Manufacturing Aiming Towards Zero Waste and Efficient Production of High-Tech Metal Products
I got AMATZWAEPOHTMP ... not even close. Sounds like someone just really wanted to spell a word from all that
is it really a swim suit if you are not swimming?
Isn't that pretty much what they are looking for? If so then they will need a very well informed AI

then I would have to wait all day, cook it myself, and it still wouldn't be as good as delivery
I can order a freshly made pizza and have it within the hour! I'm not about to sit around all day waiting for my groceries to show up.
I have had several pet rabbits and yes, they most certainly do bite...and can draw blood if they want to
how is "by the end of 2013" more specific then "in the next few months". Last time I checked, 2 or 3 months is more specific then 1-5 months

Good to see the "editors" are as incompetence as always.

They did a long time ago and are continuing to do so
