  3. web 2.0 - forget it, run silent, run deep on Is 'Web 2.0' Another Bubble? · · Score: 1

    Some ideas... Return to your roots. Forget bubble hoopla, focus on solid operating plans, and execute. It's interesting that web 2.0 popped up, however in our case we're focused on a larger population/sociological phenomenon. Avoiding fads that do not add value is wise. However, if there is some meaningful stuff in web 2.0, which is really different than what people were doing in the 2001=2002 nosedive, it should be considered. But there's not much of that, really. Whether or not something is web 2.0 has no impact on revenue and profits, I am not sure if having a tagcloud rather than an ad makes sense. What is the revenue coefficient of the tagcloud? The last point, design - simplicity - for the person who just wants to get in, do something worthwhile, then get out, the a service should support this imperative. Remember that those who know or care about web 2.0 are in the small minority of active web users; by the time a larger group knows about it, it will be over.

  4. Re:20% error compared to 42% error of Google? on Google Used To Diagnose Disease · · Score: 1

    Impressive stat. I have also heard from physicians that Google is gradually replacing paid information systems as a source of protocol information - quicker, easier to use, less cumbersome. With Google scholar, you can access to an individuals key publications at a click, which, if disaggregated would take hours. Example on a website: look under each scientist

    Firefox game (hah, hah, hah, hah, Staying alive, staying alive...)is the most fun since the BeeGees. Sugar buzz caused me to mess up the post before, sorry

    our latest thing... paint with your brain. it's cheaper than getting BrainAge, and probably more fun. works great with firefox, and less filling

  14. Building a "Cognitive Reserve" on Nintendo Keeps Wits and Reflexes Sharp · · Score: 1

    Experts in cognitive chronometrics and also neuroplasticity have long held these views, but research conducted in the past 3 years and published supports the contention that you can enhance your brain...building a cognitive reserve through 'education' and cognitive training. Some of the gains in BrainAge are due to the practice effect, as are some of the gains in chonometrics, but it also seems that greater attention, speed, and focus capability is a direct result, e.g., your coding is likely to be both faster-to-production and more accurate. a good link for G and ECT's (Arthur Jensen) is here. A free game is here. The historical legacy goes back to Terman.

  15. Re:what about midichlorians on Special Molecule Gives Birds a Magnetic Biocompass · · Score: 1

    in this one, speed is more important than accuracy! Over time you can improve considerably and (even) start coding faster

    Well then we can all find out if the magnetic north is really shifting. Check your midichlorian level or the next best thing... here's an adfree wikipedia version

    oh why not have some more fun. to be honest though windows and office have let everybody become michelangelo where if it was all IBM it would be the guys in white coats

  18. competitive puzzle games are more social on Game Developers Missing Their Target? · · Score: 1

    If you have an objective measure of something, like what's your IQ? (OK that's not completely objective) where lots of people can participate and see the results - that's social think of swinging the sledge hammer at the amusement park and trying to hit the bell with the puck -that's social because a crowd forms. Games need to offer a like kind of experience, particularly ranking/rating games Like, for example, measuring the processor speed of your brain

  19. Set phaser to Stun...Spock....Help... me on Original Star Trek Getting CGI Makeover · · Score: 1

    Time to get a new Tricorder and phaser, set to "stun" I don't know if I can find the original Trek action figures. Kids were always pinching the heads together and saying things like "Spock, help me" or having Scotty and Spock have a rapelling accident climbing up a hill. Can you beat Spock's Brain?

  22. extensible web data on World's Largest Medical Experiment · · Score: 1

    more should be done to use the web to collect trial information. It costs 1/10th of a traditional trial; eventually the possibilty exists to create a new wellness mgmt system as we are doing on the brain, strictly voluntary, but providing tools allowing people to follow themselves over time - does it work? a few thousand people since 8/18 on this one. with a clear opt-out.

  24. Re:SpaceX CEO's talk at Mars Society on SpaceX, Rocketplane Kistler Win NASA Competition · · Score: 1

    Mr. Musk's comments are quite interesting. Sands of Mars, it's been aeons since I read the book "Startide Rising"//// also important to factor in the 'multiplanetary' consciousness aspect to this. It's hard to explain but this has a lot to do with the next phase in the growth of the brain and evolution, along with the multiplanetary internet which we have already achieved on a sporadic, 8kbps-type level

  25. Kistler funds Foundation for The Future.... on SpaceX, Rocketplane Kistler Win NASA Competition · · Score: 1

    Cool. UC-Berkeley's Arthur Jensen won Kistler's Foundation For the Future award in 2003. There is much to be said for small teams. The brain and space are the 2 big frontiers. We hope to make a dent in the brain area. We're even giving away a quick speed test free, no sign up or you can take a brain test (with piped in Vangelis mp3) based on the noir film Blade Runner.
