  1. If this works, everything will change. on Self-Driving Car Will Make Trip From San Francisco To New York City · · Score: 1

    Good luck to the Delphi team. Just imagine the possibilities.

  2. It does work... saw it at Google I/O After Hours on Robotic Bartender Assembles Your Drink, Monitors Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 4, Informative

    One of these systems were in action at Google I/O After Hours Party last night. Pretty neat.

  3. Technical specifications and FAQ here on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 4, Informative
  4. Reminds me of the retina-scanning robotic spiders on Cyberbees Score MIT Prize · · Score: 1

    This certainly reminds me of those retina-scanning, robotic spiders in Tom Cruise's "Minority Report."

    Also check out this guy's company at iRobot which offers real life robotic product like the "Roomba" - a robotic vacuum cleaner.

    I guess we may be only half a century away from commericialized robot similar to Honda's Asimo Humaniod.

  5. Learn to learn... polish your learning skills on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    1) Learn how to learn well
    2) Don't fear mistakes. There are some things you have to learn through your own experience. Get back on your feet and don't the same mistake ever again.

    I believe that the most important skill that a 12-year-old (or any age for that matter) want is the ability to learn quickly and forget mistakes. If you're good at learning and keep trying, you become truly adaptive.

  6. How about GoogleMail (doing a search via an email) on Google Disappears In China · · Score: 1

    CapeScience built this GoogleMail to show off the Web Services interface of Google. Email your keyword on the subject line to google@capeclear.com and it will reply you the search results.

    It's not meant to get through censorships, but, you see, the Net is filled with creative ideas.

    It's sad to learn that things like sourceforge.net are also blocked.

  7. seems to be running on Apache on Linux on Amazon Introduces Web Services Interface · · Score: 1

    According to Netcraft, soap.amazon.com appears to be running on Apache/Linux.

    The site soap.amazon.com is running Stronghold/2.4.2 Apache/1.3.6 C2NetEU/2412 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.2.10 on Linux

  8. going back to the 3270 computing model? on Wireless Monitors? · · Score: 1

    This actually opens up a lot of possibilities here, because it actually has an OS underneath it (why WinCE?); just like fashion, we are going around in circles, back to 3270 dumb terminals computing model.

    But it really make senses for single purpose terminals (like Tellers, Cashiers...) Low cost, simple, no wires.
