Every other day there is a story describing how yet another b/w starved city/town is 'begging' google in an innovative way.
Is begging the defining characteristic of our generation?
Maybe, if someone can highlight a story wherein a town/city highlights how they can stand up on their feet with the extra b/w (not a bplan!), instead of a crazy marketing gimmick, google might actually initiate some action and live upto their motto of 'do no evil'.
(Note that it doesn't necessarily mean 'do good')

This book is written by the creator of Deep Blue. He describes the Deep Blue project (This was not the original name) from his time at Stanford to the games played with Kasparov. The tweaking of Deep Blue did not happen in game but only before and after games. The so called opponents of Deep Blue (a couple of GM level players) were recruited only to help in the preparation of opening book. Kasparov had asked for the log of Deep Blue because he thought that the move was not thought by the computer but by some human sitting behind the terminal (basically he wanted to verify Deep Blue's moves), but the event co-ordinators rightly judged it as unfair as Kasparov was asking for the complete thought process of Deep Blue. The Deep Blue team was asked to show the move list to the co-ordinators who were satisfied with the logs.
The book is a good read and the review that I have quoted above describes the development in a very lucid language.
You know he might just accomplish an end to his means because of it.
isnt this supposed to be funny? 4 insightful, thats just shows the falling standards around here.
Ofcourse all this assumes that the "kid" who is stubborn does intend to sell his "toy" eventually.
Can't we for a moment think that maybe, he is in it for good, for the love of technology, that still he is naive enough to believe that the world can achieve world peace and freedom and democracy through sharing of ideas (ideals) among teenagers.
Well, the moment has passed. I agree with you all, the kid is a fucking moron.
Standardisation to the extent that you suggest could lead to other problems like reducing the innovation and development of that particular subject.
If all the students see the same lectures, follow the same methods of learning, they will be too stereotyped and subjects won't have much of a debate. It is when professors teach differently that students take up different interests and a healthy dialogue between members supporting opposing theories, that a subject makes progress.
Moreover different students prefer different speeds of teaching (pardon my improper english) and thus standarsing lectures is basically tryin to introduce a totalitarian control on that subject which would be highly undesirable.
However, online sharing of lectures is a great idea as less privileged students in third world countries can directly learn from Nobel prize winners who actually developed the concepts taught in the textbooks over here (I am in India).
Did Forbes shift HQ to the Gulf?? Or do they have Saddam as their next CEO? Whatever happened to freedom of speech.
Guess what? The next thing that bloggers will be blogging against would definitely be Forbes. Never seen anything more dumb, unless ofcourse its MS.
