same here.. i was reading it as a scientific article until i encountered this sentence
Of course, I've seen more half-naked, drink-carrying high school students on Facebook than on MySpace, but we won't go there.
Me too!! All the time..
I guess with Web pages there is so much of junk that we unconciously *trust* the segement that we highlighted
but its annoying when some sites have this 'select and search' thing or the eSnap thing..
I m seeing so many news stories from Sun in past few days...
JavaFx, JDK source code, Sun "iPhone", and now this "Linuxolaris"?
Is this some sort of media manipulation game? for example, in 2005s every other day you heard about Big G releasing a new fancy toys..
the situation invokes the neural pathway. I could argue that your 'neural pathway' corresponds to some 'representation' which can be modelled and hence computed upon. Pick a *domain*, encode manually or learn enough 'representations' and wire in the 'inference' logic for a given *problem* and things would seem intelligent! The keywords are *domain* and *problem* - once you scope down on these, any type of AI can be easily simulated in practice. Whether you call it AI or not depends on your perspective.

Bush has stuck to his guns with his budget proposals. On 5 February, he sent Congress a 2008 budget request for science that favors a handful of agencies supporting the physical sciences and puts the squeeze on most of the rest of the federal research establishment as part of an overall $2.9 trillion plan that clamps down on most civilian spending....
he is saying the real-cold-hard truth. The so called group of 'symbolist' researchers essentially buried the 'connectionist' approach with the argument that you cant get 'explanations' out of a non-symbolic system.
Bunch of patents doesnt make something novel. PageRank is a simple tweak of Bibliometrics methods.

Although citation analysis is nothing new (the Science Citation Index began publication in 1961), greater computing power is making it more useful and widespread. Google's PageRank is based on the principle of citation analysis.
can anyone tell me how is this all different from the AI in 1970s and 80s (SHAKEY etc)
Things fell apart when researchers tried to scale beyond LEGO examples (hide and seek case in the article sounds similar). A reasonably "artificially intelligent" robot would exhibit "intelligence" using components which are themselves tough unsolved problems

Grow up ppl...a simple electro-mechincal piece of hardware layered with cute-teddy-bear-look and all above critical components hard-coded is not anything new..
Neither this article or nor the recent documentary on Nova says anything about any new technical development.
I have been noticing that MIT Media Lab tries to generate media attention every few months for no real reason.
I think it would take rocket science to figure out the notion of year, say for example, on moon or mars - so I guess there is reason for 1st Jan being considered as the 366th day.
I switched to FF 1.0 for a while but then went back to Mozilla. It feels speedier (well its 0.001% faster, but statistically significant for me;) + I dont need to keep Thunderbird running.. The Mozilla suite handles it all under one process..

I agree with the main post - I would love to see PDFViewer embedded in the Firefox..I use Adobe Viewer and lately its becoming very 'phat' and 'bloated' its now taking a significantly long time to load.
In several schools professors fund themselves from the govt. grants (NIH etc.) I m not sure if Joe Smith, law-abiding tax-payer, has to pay $2.50 to get access to the intellectual property in the lecture slides developed using the grant money.

hmmm.. how abt this..
for(i=0; i != 1000000000; i++)
{
name = name+integerToChar(i%26);
spam(name);

I recently visited Gujarat, India - where about 40% of vehicles on the road used CNG with most areas now having a CNG gas filling stations.
n tentid=58608

It comes out very cheap in India, about 1Rs per Km roughly equivalent to 0.3 cents per mile.
Govt. of India is now mandating all its public transport buses to run on CNG - http://www.automotiveworld.com/WCV/content.asp?co
Also Ford released its new Ikon 2007 with a CNG model - http://business.techwhack.com/2040/2007-ford-ikon

The quality of video is soo good that I start wondering whether its really "viewer created content"

You cannot have "download utility for Iceweasel" since there is no IE on Debian
you recognize the camera (into SONY, NIKON etc...)
