2D to 3D is NOT the same as black and white to color; color is how we see the world... 2D movies look much closer to the way that I see the world than a 3D movie does, because I don't (and I doubt you do, either) see a 2D image as flat;
last time I checked, i found that I do see the world in color 3D. HD cameras used to be huge, now they fit in a shirt pocket. 3D cameras will be no different. I thought Avatar was great in 3D, so was Toy Story 3. You can rant against it all you want, the next thing will be movies projected directly into your cornea, and nobody will like that at first either...

I am willing to pay for online content, just stop shoveling flash ads in my face. i once paid for Salon.com but they still blitzed me with advertising. i use privoxy for most web browsing. i will pay if you give me something of value. this is why i probably wont use the iPad either - i'd be paying and they'd be iAd-ding...
My violet ray has killed every plant its radiation ever came into contact with. I bought it at a yard sale in Greenwich Village about 18 years ago. It also removes gold leaf from antique picture frames. It's really cool and can also be used to cause premature component failure in electronic equipment. It scares the shit out of the developers where I work....
The question was asked in TFA comments whether or not OS X disk journaling was turned on. The question was not answered. It seems to me that this would have a profound effect on performance.
when I was a computer operator, we charged departments for CPU time, magnetic tape, paper, and hard disk space. IBM provided hooks into their mainframe OS for recording resource utilization. How Amazon can patent this is beyond me. What's next? Patenting breathing?
A co-worker I know just got a job @ google doing security work, and they told him: Mac or Linux, no Windows, not even in VMs if they connect to Google's IT infrastructure.
Given hardware refresh cycles, Windows will be gone from Google in less than two years.
download the dev environment, buy a couple of books, play around with the iphone simulator, write your own freaking code, pay $99 when you are ready to load the app on your phone, presto!
...the speaker made an analogy regarding an individual's role in the organization. He asked them to think of putting their hand in a bucket of water, and then withdrawing it, then asked "how fast does the water replace your hand when you take it out?" Instantly. "That's how quickly you can be replaced."
"Think of your boss putting his fist up your rectum.
How fast does your colon replace it with shit once they take it out? Instantly - that's how much I'll miss your crappy job.
Oh, and remember to wash your hands before returning to work . .."
Please accept my apologies if that is a little graphic, but it is important to consider both points of view.
As Charles de Gaulle said, “The cemeteries of the world are full of indispensable men.” Most of those were HR managers.

should be interesting if they try to patent it, Bungie would have prior use

their boss told them to, how is that illegal? the copyright holder told a staff member "upload this to YouTube" - sounds authorized to me..
Opportunistically, if you gave advice about methods, would you feel bad if he landed in Gitmo?
and, since you're giving advice to a terrorist, will you feel bad when you land in Supermax?
If taken to the extremes the corporations want, we would probably devolve.
news flash: we are DEVO

To me, the no windows policy seems a little shortsighted when IE is 80%+ of browser market and windows is 90%+ of OS market.
How will Google develop for the world's most commonly deployed environment if they don't allow it internally?
I had read elsewhere this policy change was because of the china-google-gmail security breach.
But - I also read that the specific vector for the original intrusion was a PC running Windows 98 and connected to the office infrastructure.
A co-worker I know just got a job @ google doing security work, and they told him: Mac or Linux, no Windows, not even in VMs if they connect to Google's IT infrastructure. Given hardware refresh cycles, Windows will be gone from Google in less than two years.
they've booted windows out of their office...

after the government makes a kill switch, the cyberterrorists will figure out how to pull it and shut down the internets.
