I don't want any more GUI's, just RESTful API's that have complete functionality, not just a few commands for common tasks. Fancy UI's are fine for demo's so salespeople have something for customers to ooh and ahh over, or for small customers with limited IT staff. Most work these days is going into automation involving multiple tasks.
Usually manufacturing companies are located in rural areas in the South and Midwest. Most of the manufacturing IT guys i've run into live there because they were raised there or they have kids there and don't want to move. There often aren't many other job options nearby. It's also very costly to increase staff, since either it involves taking a junior person and providing a lot of training for them, or luring an experienced candidate to a small town. It can be done, of course but it's not something management is likely to take on unless they are forced to.
With Windows 8 Microsoft grafted a tablet interface onto the PC. If you really like the Windows 8 interface you'll buy a tablet, since that is where it works best. If you don't really like it, you'll stick with your old computer on XP/Win7. This is great for tablet sales, but don't drive people to buy PC's. The problem is that Microsoft faces much more competition on the tablet side, so someone may look for a Windows 8 tablet, but may be swayed to a cheaper Android, or a trendier iPad
I remember reading the book in high school, and it was like a light in the darkness, I felt that someone was finally speaking to me. I promised myself to read it every year so that I wouldn't forget the books message. By about my second year of college when I got half way through the book, I couldn't stand Holden's condescending, entitled attitude, and wondered what I had ever seen in the book.
When my Grandfather died, my dad got a lot of calls from scammers claiming that they were owed money from his estate, so that will probably just land you on on a different list.
Openstack is immature, and the project not very cohesive. He is right that the networking in neutron is way behind where it needs to be. However I don't see a lot of alternatives if you run a large cloud with unique requirements. You can use Amazon, but then you have to ask how much you trust Amazon's cloud. You can spend a lot of money and buy VMWare, but you are locked in with VMWare's enterprise specific focus.
Republicans have been trying to kill public education since the Reagan administration. They want to push science out of the public school curriculum, so their privately educated kids will have a huge advantage for the jobs of the future. Whipping people up into a frenzy about evolution only furthers their cause.
Does anyone know why he says "Prefer conventional discrete-log-based systems over elliptic-curve systems; the latter have constants that the NSA influences when they can". We've been looking at moving to elliptic curve because of the smaller keysize, but I'm concerned people will start to move away from it because of this.
There is an interesting article in wired that shows that placebos are actually becoming "more effective" or at least more difficult to make drugs that are significantly more effective than placebo's. It appears that since medicine is so much more trusted now than it was 50 or so year ago, that just believing they are being treated triggers some people's body to fight of the illness.

Facebook is valued based on the fact that it has tons of personal information that it can make available to advertisers. Goldman Sachs and others have already bought into it based on this. However, in practice once they do that there will be a huge outcry, people will leave, those that stay will get the government involved, and it will be a huge mess. They can't just tell Goldman Sachs, sorry, we're only worth half of what you paid into, they need to figure out an alternative business model which will get them valued equal to the "sell peoples personal data" business model.
There is overlap in the above, but netbooks are for people who have occasional need to use a native Windows/Linux app or need to use peripherals. Tablets are for people who are okay with the apps specific to Android/iOS, and understand they won't be able to run Excel or plug in a printer. Basically Tablets are for people who want a large smartphone and Netbooks are for people who want a tiny laptop.
I hate how people say the iPad is killing netbook sales. Netbooks were only popular because the economy sucked and people didn't want to pay a lot for a computer, so they got the cheapest one they could find. Once they realized that the keyboard was too cramped and the trackpad was too small, they just upgraded when they had the money for a regular notebook. The only people buying netbooks right now are the people who have legitimate needs for them, which is a small market, rather than the people who just didn't have much cash two years ago, which was a fairly substantial market.
Lately Google seems to getting the mindset that if it's not illegal, there's nothing wrong with it, so blame the lawmakers for not writing laws prohibiting them from doing it. Their stance against China was promising, but I'm not sure anymore if that was an actual stand based on ethical motives, or just the realization that filtering search result based upon the moral/political stances of a countries current regime would be too complex for all the countries that would be demanding such a thing.
When I was in Japan last year, people would always talk about how their phones were so superior to U.S. phones. I couldn't understand what they felt was so great about them, some you can watch broadcast TV, but unless you really like daytime TV, or are out a lot with free time at night, I don't see it being that great. Some can double as a transit pass, and can be used to buy from vending machines, and at some convenience stores, but you can buy a small card that does the same thing. Some had high resolution cameras, but with tiny screens, does it matter that much. I guess you could always export or email them from the device, but many people kept a separate digital camera because they were easier to use. When the iPhone finally came to Japan, it was a huge hit, so I suppose they didn't really know what they were missing
What things constitute art has always been fiercely debated. No one has definitively defined what is art and what is not. At one time there was debate whether photographs could be art. Then it was whether something generated on a computer could be art. As these things gained greater acceptance it was more accepted that they could be considered art. Roger Ebert may be a bit outdated in his interpretation of art, but there isn't any "right" answer.
They've probably realized that the amount of energy it takes to communicate with another world would be better expended for other purposes given the limited amount of communication that would be possible
Try find a job at Toyota, i'm sure the million dollars will easily compensate you for the fact that you will probably lose your job by releasing the information.
Manufacturers are looking at Android on netbooks, do you see that as a threat? Do you plan to do any integration with Android or do you feel that it will be limited to a smartphone OS
I think there will always be a need for hard news, however editorial style opinion is dead. It used to be that in order to get to the limited number of news outlets, you had to have fairly impressive credentials and be an expert in what you would be discussing. However there are are so many outlets for news now and so many people with inflated credentials it is difficult to determine who is providing analysis and who is providing taglines for their political agenda. Not to mention you have people like Ann Coulter who milk the system by saying outrageous things to grab headlines because she understands that the major networks love to report on controversy, and she only has to sell books to a small percentage of the audience to make money, anyway. I was disappointed recently when Newsweek redesigned their magazine and added _more_ commentary. I can get that for free, what I'm looking for in a news magazine in in-depth coverage of major events, that I can't get from skimming the CNN headlines or from Redstate or Daily Kos.

They may not store the image itself, but I don't see anything stopping them from storing information describing the image.

ESPN.com has an Insider section that you need to pay to access. It's been relatively successful, they claim to have 350,000 subscribers.
