The beta looks much like the mobile version, and that sucks big time.
Here's some tips about that settings gear icon behavior:
1. have a freaking separate radio button that sets: "and higher" or "and lower" or "exact".
These next 2 points are for the mobile version:
2. I don't want to waste all that screen real estate on text that says "Filtered due to preferences". WFT! I have a whole screen of "Filtered due to preferences", "Filtered due to preferences".
3. If you really want me to know that I've filtered out 200 comments then put that at the bottom, I don't want 200 "Filtered due to preferences" interlaced throughout the comments I've filtered for.
Don't append 123 to the website name to create a password. Instead append Scunthorpe, this will cause the Great Firewall of the UK to protect your data.
What a crap question, "Have you used the internet while driving?"
Stupid sensationalist journalism.
Yes, we use the internet in our car. But, we're not freaking browsing the web.
I just can't imagine how this could possibly go wrong for all those apple lovers.
This might be the killer feature that will transition OSX to iOS, so those computer users can also benefit from this marvelous technology.
It's just a matter of time before the government will be replacing Social Security numbers with Apple IDs and retirement benefits will move over to iTunes gift cards.
The realization of Corporate America is almost here.
How about allowing the PS4 to play region free NTSC and PAL DVDs?
How about not needing to have to put the freaking disc in each and every time I want to play the freaking game?
How about not having the internet required to play single player games?
How about an easier way to move all my stuff/games from my old PS3 to my PS4? Certainly make it easier than moving my stuff from a fat PS3 to a slim PS3 - yes, I agree it was nice that it had the feature - but fuck me, that was a magic dance to get it to actually work. Having non encrypted DMR free hard disks would make this easier.
Oh, and make it work with my freaking iPhone and iPad goddammit
Support all the legacy input devices, and add some sort of Kinect (or equivalent) support.
If you're in a class of 30 then that's only 50 cents each. If you're talking a whole year of 6th graders, it could be as little as a dime each per book. Everyone's got a computer or iPad - right?
If your 10 year old kid is lugging 10 Kg of books to/from school each day, then it's a no brainer to get the soft copy. Heck - it makes the book searchable too.
Is this ethical or legal? If I've got the hard copy of a book - have I the right to use the soft copy? The small print at the start of the book would certainly like you to believe that you have no rights to do anything.
you sometimes encounter like "How many pigeons are there is Manhattan" is that they are a very good way to judge someone's unstructured problem solving ability.
You should re-read that. I'm sure you didn't mean "there is Manhattan".
I'd fail the interview:
a) I'll annoy you with grammar corrections
b) point out that Passenger Pigeons have been extinct for quite some time.
c) African or European?
d) ask if we could change the question to something more warm and fuzzy, like estimating the number of squirrels in Los Angeles
AFAIK you can load up an iPad with apps and then sell the iPad with all of its DRM'd content. So, there might be a market for used iPads loaded with the right textbooks. This will create a new cap on how high the publishers can charge for text books.
Apple's model of free app upgrades could be circumvented by the text book publishers by renaming the text book revisions in such a way that they show up as completely separate apps. So, the publisher's can still play the multiple revision game.
Seems to me that a professor could publish a PDF each year and eliminate the text book guys from the equation completely if they wanted to. That would also empower their students to pick their own reading platform.

Meanwhile a new research group finds an 86% correlation between Google translate logs and "anonymous" emails.
Might want to stick to some lame dictation software..
1. Sony release a new PS3 super slim that won't have any USB ports.
2. Sony release a statement that they have no intention to remove USB support on the older PS3 models.
3. Shortly thereafter, update 3.XX with have a nice EULA mentioning that to protect us they'll be disabling the USB ports on the older PS3s.
No matter how good your antivirus/antispyware/OS, once an idiot user figures out that by closing a certain app or clicking "yes" somewhere he can run the funny application he got by e-mail, he will do so, and the system is potentially infected. Indeed. What this report shows is that Vista users are more likely than the average XP user to run malware.
I wonder if the "training" these users were put though to get normal applications to work helped them overcome Vista's anti malware features.
The output of the Philips Q50 DVD player reviewed is analog not digital - if the player was outputting a digital video signal then I agree that the review would be preposterous.
Missed the point?. The photon coming out of the fiber will be selected to be particle or wave by moving the detector. This decision of where to put the detector will be made 50 micro seconds after the 1st photon went through the slit.
So, let's say - just for argument's sake: The 1st photon that goes through the slit "decided" it was a particle: great - good for it, it's a particle. But the experimenter has the opportunity to "decide" that the 2nd photon (the one coming out of the fiber 50 microseconds later) will be a particle or wave. Humph - tough choice for the experimenter: if the experimenter moves the detector to detect a particle then it's a good result for the experimenter. Somehow the experimenter forced the 1st photon's decision. cool result. But, if the experimenter had decided on detecting the 2nd photon as a wave then the experiment failed - next year's funding is pulled and no Nobel prize.
It's a tough choice for the experimenter..
Or, move all the doors 6 inches to the left and make all the windows 20% bigger.
These sorts of things are easy to spec - but there's a huge number of issues that these 2 simple request cause. Here's just a few:
1. What happens if there's a window 3 inches to the left of a door?
2. That room is now going to look weird if the window is wider than the room.
Software is similar to house building/modifying in that each project is custom. But, it's much easier to predict all the corner cases in the house projects.
I went to the 2004 qualifying, and learnt that the course is not chosen via satellite images. Real people in real hummers come up with the various course routes. The final route selected is secret until shortly before the start of the "race".
I also heard that they broke a couple of their hummers scouting out the routes, so sections of the course are really off road.
If you want to avoid the keyboard loggers, either hardware or software ones, then use the mouse to cut and paste the characters you want into the password edit box.
To bypass both keyboard and mouse loggers then you just need a random text generator that produces random characters on the screen that you can cut and paste from. A good random char generator could be a website called slashdot - it has different/random chars available on it's site every time I've been to it;)
The runway is over 2 miles long. So, unless he turned around and landed at the same end of the runway, he missed out on actually flying all the way around the Earth by about 2 miles.

Talking of numbers and math:
If you triple 0.17% for the next 5 years you'll be at 41%.
Geometric progression is a bitch.

FTFA: They're using the NAND memory on a custom board sitting on a PCIe bus, they are getting 4GB/sec.
I see the future:
1. Sony release a new PS3 super slim that won't have any USB ports.
2. Sony release a statement that they have no intention to remove USB support on the older PS3 models.
3. Shortly thereafter, update 3.XX with have a nice EULA mentioning that to protect us they'll be disabling the USB ports on the older PS3s.

Let me guess: 4 billion people constantly videoing each other with their HD capable cell phones..
Sorry, content will/is being generated as too high a rate to ever hold all the video ever produced.
I look forward to installing Google Desktop on my ipod to find the interesting stuff on my player.
