Right, because RCA TVs and Apple iPhones are absolutely comparable. They both display moving images. They both play sound. And they are both internet-connected devices running software written and updated by a single party. That party maintains a persistent connection to them, and has an avowed interest in becoming a media distribution power. Oh, wait.
I am not suggesting that Apple will literally play streaming video over all these devices. However, it's an interesting way to think about the vested power here. They have 90 million devices that they essentially own in everyone's pockets, backpacks and living rooms. They are one update, one App Store app, away from becoming bigger than all four broadcast networks at their peak.
Let's be clear. YouTube isn't set to post anything, let alone a loss. Google as a whole will post huge profits again, albeit below last year, and that will be that.
I can develop an app to crowdsource movie recommendations using Agile methodologies and heavy automation with SOAP communication between layers.
If I wrote a few paragraphs concerning this project these words would have far more meaning within the context of the description. This is a valid use of the word "crowdsourcing," because it's within the context of a real project and it communicates a real concept.

I wouldn't say that the internet is making us stupider, but blogs are certainly making stupid people more visible. Nice quip, and it fits into a Slashdot meme. But there are a lot of good blogs out there that have gained a large following: Engadget, The Caucus, TechCrunch, DailyKos, etc. Hell, Slashdot is basically a blog with a really good comments system. The point when all blogs were on LiveJournal has long since passed. Get with the times.
You'll need an old Macintosh floppy drive and (probably) an old Macintosh floppy drive controller to plug it into, which basically means you need an old Macintosh. You still have yours, right? Right? Yep, right. Got an Apple Performa sitting right next to my IBM XT. You mean you don't keep vintage computer hardware around?
That's a pretty ridiculous analogy. The argument was that Google's pictures devalue their house, because they bought it on the idea that the "Private Road" sign implied privacy. But lo and behold there exist other pictures of their house on the internet. If that devalues their property (here's a hint: it doesn't), then it's already been devalued.
True, but it depreciates the value of the property (or, more to the point, doesn't) in exactly the same way. If you can already view a photo of their house on the public internet, what's one more photo?
People who have messaging plans, which is not an insignificant number.
Also, I now use texts to add events to my Google Calendar that I see on posters around campus. Right now I have to stand in front of the poster and type all the event details in. I'm still paying the $0.30, but without the convenience.
Somebody needs to make this a MMS-accessible web app. That would make it completely cross-platform and instantly available on all mobile phones. You just snap the picture, send it off to a mail address or short code, and it send back the decoded text. If you want, you could create an account, verify your phone number, and then access anything you send later on the web.

I work at ESRI and find it hilarious that we're not mentioned in that article
The rest of us also find this hilarious, but for different reasons.
Not France. Nor Poland. Austria is right out.

You were saying?
...then Israel should be confiscating all US made laptops at the border.
Or shooting them?
You joke, but check out this cool project to add real time imagery into Google Earth:

Kilobit isn't a speed rate. Kilobits per second is a speed rate. A kilobit is just a small unit of data.

It's only buzz if you use it that way.

Thanks Microsoft for thoughtfully protecting all the Zunes from this outbreak.
Iconfactory, the company this Craig Hockenberry guy is from, does that. They have Twitterific (free) and Twitterific Premium.
Better Place buys green electricity. Try that for lunch.

Allegheny County has a real estate assessment website which has pictures of every house in the county. Including the Borings:

Wait. So you have all of YouTube, all of College Break, and all of America's Funniest Home videos to work with, and this is the dumbest video ever?
