I will ask them to upload it to alipr.com tomorrow... there might be a problem because it's published and now belongs to the journal. It was just presented at the ACM Multimedia Conference at UCSB, if you get those proceedings you can find it.
Make sure to check back tomorrow to be able to search based on the tags that the computer suggests, people verify, and ones that people enter manually. I just got all the cron jobs working together.
I currently work for the group doing this - a very cool new feature will be launched in the next week that I am writing (stay tuned).
Yes - this project has been done many times before by many people (to lesser degrees of success than this), but the thing to keep in mind is that this is realtime. It takes less than a second for the tags to be generated. All previous systems required a much larger amount of processing time.

I have seen other demos from E-Ink, a "page" takes ten cents to manufacture. I have seen a prototype ebook by them whose resolution is incredable. One of the best parts about their products is that they only need a little bit of power to switch, no power is required for the display to stay put.
Honestly, do you even know what you are talking about?
Plugging in a different mouse or keyboard does not make your computer more vulnerable to spyware. All of the problems, and I fully admit that Microsoft has many, are software.
Microsoft spends significantly more on research than most companies their size. I happen to like many things Microsoft does.
On the other hand, I exclusively use linux now on my laptop. Just because of their name, does not mean that we cannot give them Kudos for something good.
Every comment that is highly rated in this thread is a joke. Is this about objectivity? I think not.
I took Professor Wang's networking class this Semester and have him for databases in the fall. He is a very interesting professor and was in the same class as the people who invented google.
Actually, detection is done by finding the very small circles that overlap. These can be found on most currency around the world and were though of by the world bank. Chances are the new bills will have them too. Looks like you are out of luck.
Although I agree with both sides on this one, apple needs to allow people to buy two button mice from them. At my high school, and now at college, the computer department won't just throw equipment away and then cough up more money. Adept students are left with choosing a PC for using Photoshop, over the Mac.
I happen to agree with the firefox people as to where it should be. Penn State maps many drives when we sign on. What I would like them to do is to package their own firefox (which they already do), but give it a switch to -profile to store in a mapped drive.
The other option is to do what Penn State already does for IE and purge cache as part of a logout script.
I use it in the labs so that my laptop profile keeps in sync, my post was more comenting on global policy. If they want to provide firefox to students, the solution is not to have everybody store a firefox executable inside of their server space or on a USB flash stick. They should package the MSI correctly (everything is a silent MSI install) and then have it just work for everybody.
Do you even know how they do these machines? Obviously not. All updates and policy changes on this level are made either with MSI packages that are pushed out at 3 AM each night, or by just changing the group policy to allow it. They use WISE professional studio to do silent installs of all packages.
But perhaps this does not address the true picture. They like IE, IE integrates very well for them, in fact there really is no reason for them to switch lab machines. We do not have admin privledges on lab machines, our profiles are not stored on them, the worst we can do it corrupt our own profile which takes them two seconds to wipe. In an environment like this, there is no advantage for them to follow their own word. This announcement will help our the ResCom staff (residence hall computing, the group that fixes people's dormroom computers). They will have less spyware to uninstall.
Although Penn State has issued this warning, it is far from true. All Penn State Computer Lab Machines have IE set as the default, and group policy is set such that you cannot switch even to the installed version of Firefox. In addition the Firefox user settings are stored in Application Data which has a 20 meg quota. This means whenever a user tries to log out after browsing, it refuses saying there is too much data. IE on the otherhand, gets cleaned of cookies and cache automatically so that when you log out there is never a problem with the quotas.
If Penn State wants to actually get people to switch, they should do something about it on their own machines.
Well I'm at work right now checking slashdot for the third time this hour when I saw this. My heart almost stopped. WAHOO!!!! Plus I'll get half life source on the same day. I'm about to walk around the corner to ask for the day off.

Actually, it's a big debate right now. Companies ARE allowed to patent genes, including ones found in humans that they discover.
I get better reception to the people next door than through my floor downstairs. Hence I find myself connecting frequently to "SlapABitch"

Please, only mpeg2? What about the divx device feartured yesterday.
