Wow, this troll thinks they own ALL implementations of "Software Activation" of any kind.. What a bunch of nimrods! Even their own website is super focused on litigation! http://www.uniloc.com/index.php/intellectual-property/
The summary is misleading. The article is about the MAC app store for desktop applications. Was anyone else left scratching their heads about how the heck they would deploy iPhone apps to the public without the app store?
Most cable modems I've seen are regular 100Mbps ethernet. So are most home networks. So what good does >100Mbps do if you don't have a gigabit network? Please educate me.
That's what I was thinking... EVERYTHING contains quantum particles. What makes bank notes any different? Besides, as others have pointed out - how would you verify them?
It appeared in the video that a single bubble was being manipulated by hand with a laser pointer. That's cool, but I was hoping to see perhaps a few hundred bubbles, with computer controlled precision scattering of the laser. Each bubble would be maneuvered in a very precise, computer controlled manner and the bubbles collaborating to perform specific functions. Is this the next step?
Carl Franklin, co-host of the popular ".NET Rocks!" podcast has a great show about this very subject. http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=768 Don't worry, it's not Microsoft focused. You really should have a listen. He actually went to Washington DC to get involved. That's more than most of us can say.
So they love NoSQL but had a bad experience with CouchDB. And the solution is... move away from NoSQL??? Ridiculous. CouchDB is certainly NOT the only solution out there, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
I've recently switched from MS SQL Server to RavenDB http://www.ravendb.net/ and I am never going back! Many of the things they found wrong with CouchDB and MongoDB are superior in RavenDB.
I would think the downfall of a system like this is that it would require user training for each and every gesture. Certainly, humans of different ages and hand sizes would have different capacitive properties to their hands. I'm sure other factors like body hair, perspiration, skin tone or texture, etc. probably have some affect.
If training WASN'T required, I could see Disney using this in their theme parks. Especially in the little kids rides and houses in Mickey's Toon Town. Imagine the surprise on your four-year-old's face when the fake plastic props start interacting with them in interesting ways.
I'm pretty certain training would be a requirement though. And alas, you aren't going to get a four-year-old to sit through a calibration session.
Maybe this has better applications for the deaf or blind as a more precise haptic interface to other devices.
The best part is how the plaintiff claims that their case depends on "Section 63" of the CPC act. There is no section 63! http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-10/

Seriously, you're asking for a heart attack. I don't care how good you are, that's way too much for one guy to deal with by himself.

I've got two of them myself.

a solid xenon-halogen laser and a ginormous popcorn ball!
King Arthur: One, two, five!
Sir Galahad: Three sir!
King Arthur: THREE!
Next thing you know we'll have all the bullshit that goes along with ask.com and ehow.

Uh, no. If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, at least get it right.
He/Him - the original poster is correct.
That/Who - either are acceptable in this context, and it has no relationship to the he/him decision.
If it was signed, go after those who signed it!
Seriously - let's combine this article with the earlier one from today. All we need are some nanotrancievers and rainbow trout do the mapping!
1. Bloom to record sizes in the Arctic!
2. Steal the Krabby Patty secret formula!
3. Rule the world!
4. Profit!!!

Because for a minute there I was really worried about the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Doesn't invincible imply that it CAN'T be destroyed? Oh wait, they cased it InVincible, nevermind...

Not sure about MongoDB or CouchDB, but I have experience with RavenDB, which is absolutely fantastic. Instead of "joins" you have "includes" or "live projections". See http://ravendb.net/docs/client-api/querying/handling-document-relationships
Or explaining that to the TSA on your next trip to grandmas house.

With winds that high, and no gravity, you'd think the surface would erode to nothing and dissipate into space. I call BS.
