Your assuming teachers would use Facebook to communicate with students as opposed to monitor their behavior. In most schools any stundent function must have a teacher present for supervision. Seperating teachers from students just provides children a place where their actions are private from adults. Not really a good thing. I think friending a student is fine so long as the teacher also friends the principle, the students parents, and has a fairly open account.
Wouldn't it be better to force students to be Facebook friends with their teachers and with the administrator. Then everything they did on the social network would be effectively chaperoned. If children are on these networks they should be supervised. This seems like a sure fire way to make Facebook less safe.
Regional Tornado alerts would be cool in the United States. An optional integration into the Emergency Alert System would be cool. Basicaly they would just port the sytem already in use on telivision to phones. Would need to be optional. Some people wouldn't want their phone tracking their location for a goverment service.
Sony is supporting Android instead of Linux. All their smartphones use Android. They have even produced a Google TV box. The Sony Google TV remote had gamepad controls. (I think with the expectatation that a app market would be created for the device.) I think people forget that Sony is a big company that lacks a unified vision. Sony is not Apple. Some of its divisions are going to pursue open source OS's.
You know that is not the buisness model for this device. So why even bring it up?
Sony is hedging its bets and doing both. The Xperia Play is their open Android gamepad phone. The Vita is the traditional portable console. You can literally vote with your wallet and buy the more open device. Also Linux for portables is dead. Android has become the portable fork of Linux.
Abusive ad hominem (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument
Insulting people doesn't make you argument valid. Neglecting your property is a sure fire way to lose it. That is what Ceglia is claiming to have done. He is claiming that he forgot he owned half of a company. When this company was meeting and deciding how to split things up when new investors came along where was Ceglia? He wan't there. Thus he wasn't included in the negotiation. Its his fault he wasn't there. His own neglect is what caused all of this.
The photoshoped image doesn't include his future address. I believe Ceglia was refering to an earlier unrelated case where Zuckerberg was cought forging a document. He claims Zuckerberg admitted to the forgery. Zuckerberg has admitted that he forged this contract. Probably something to do with the Eduardo Saverin affair. Or the case with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The hacking claim had to do with hacking a student newspaper to get into a rivals email.
He shouldn't get half of Facebook given his investment. Other people invested real time and money into the company to make it what it is. From employees who got shares for their work to investors who provided millions of dollars for marketing and salaries. It is unreasonable to allow a submarine investment of $1000 trump all that effort. If he were a good investor he would have stayed in contact with the company in the early days. He would have paid attention and shown up for share holder meetings and made his claim in 2004. By forgetting about his investment he effectivelly abbandaned it.
I don't believe his claim is legit. But if it was he still shouldn't get half. He abbandoned his investement by not disclosing it earlier
He is claiming that they planted the evidense on his mothers computer before the requested it as evidense. That it was planted prior to him handing it over. Its possible, but he has no evidense of it.
Even that is not the same because with the traveling salemen your options for the next step is smaller with each move. Where as this your options for friend request would grow with each request. Not the same at all.
Ahh, I remembered the problem wrong. I should read my own links lol. To make it a traveling salemen problem you could do the following. Assuming everyone who is friends with someone on your friends list will accept a friend request. What is the shortest amount of friend requests such that you would become friends with a set of people on Facebook.
I wonder how they get around computational complexity of this kind of thing.
I bet it doesn't try to find the smallest number of degrees of sepperation.
Or since it is between you and a stranger it just does a random walk and returns who ever is at the 6th position who isn't in either of your fiiends list.

Warning I'm not a lawyer. Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution. They can't change the law retroactivly in a way that takes property from one group and gives it to another. With copyright extentions they get around it because the public domain isn't a person with rights.
Anti-Trust only applies to Monopolies. Google only has like 45% of the smartphone market. That percentage goes down if you consider the entire cellphone market.
The nearly have a monopoly on Seach. But this deal doesn't effect the search buisness at all. Plus their market share on Search is very fragile. It is based entirely on people wanting to use Google Search. It is not like oil, phone lines, or railroads. There is not a physical limit to the supply of Search engines. The only way Google could get a real monopoly on Search is by cutting deals with ISP's to prevent access to other search engines.
Youtube also doesn't have a monopoly. It competes with Hulu, cable on demand, Netflix, and Amazon.
Hom many gallons of gasoline does it take to mine 8g of Thorium? Oil comes out of the ground pretty easily. Is it similer to mining coal? Or are we talking displacing and sifting through a ton of dirt and rock?
There was lots of similer FUD around electricity. Are you really going to channel lightning into peoples homes. They kill people in electric chairs. It is not safe for your home!!! Use candles instead.
Yeah but your comparing the wrong things. You don't compare the money generated from AdSense through Firefox to all of AdSense. You compare it to the money generated through AdSense on Chrome. How much is Chrome worth to Google? Chrome traffic is higher margin. So Google's best move is too negociate a better deal from Mozilla. Chrome is good leverage for that.
It could be used the following way by merchants. Each bill would have a strip with a code. If the code is wiped then the bill becomes worthless. Buisnesses could be given that a machine that wipes the code after transfering the money to a bank account. The money in the account would free up when the physical bills are deposited at the bank. Thieves would not be able to use the processed bills. Bogus codes could be printed on the bills. But these would be declined when a merchant processes the bill.
I could see this as part of a countries currency. Mind you not the whole note. But you could have a strip on the currency that gets updated with a new code everytime it hits a bank. Then replace the notes after the 200th use. Could be used for tracking currency and preventing counterfitting.
Well your going to have to reprint even with this invention. IE you will have to send the paper through the printer again after erasing each sheet. You only save on the paper. Your still going to have time costs with printing things again. And equipment costs for the thermal printer. This isn't e-paper where you can just push an update to the page and have it appear.

Any deals between Motorala and Microsoft/Yahoo will have contracts enforcing them. They will only end when the contracts expire.

Yeah because no one ever died from the gasoline catching on fire in an accident.

People associate the word "explosive" with gassoline. It didn't go the way of the dodo. People don't assume fuel is safe.
