I wouldn't call this a flying car, I would call this a quadcopter with wheels. While the prospect of having less traffic jams is desirable, the odds of being T-boned from above or below by a distracted pilot become…
IMHO, it feels like just another hamfisted way to get the adoption of Windows 10 to increase. The whole point of Windows used to be that it would run on nearly every system, with most overhead being reactivating the…
This feels eerily reminiscent of my own dilemma 4 years ago: The lack of direction and leadership coming from within Microsoft when it comes to building software, the willy-nilly changing of core development strategies,…
Can you turn it off? I'd imagine a big project (e.g. Linux Kernel) could start to look like a Christmas tree...
I wonder if it'd be possible to either blackhole all this nonsense, or to "quasar" their data servers with preset queries like "I like my privacy", "mind your own business" instead of your original query.
Do a Google search on "Jim Hood vs Google", see who he colluded with, and then come read your own post here again. In short: The MPAA/RIAA hates Google. To top it off, you name Chrome/Chromium as if it's the same…
Paraphrasing from one of the comments there: IMAX's legal counsel failed to see the big picture.
I'm missing a spinning skull GIF, a permanent under construction sign and blinking pink text that scrolls incessantly. GooGleoCities, perhaps?
Don't forget that Rift also seemed to support Linux, but then decided to push that to the back of their planning. So even if it's in the list of things to do, that doesn't mean it will happen in the near future, or even…
I don't think Microsoft is doing it for the Open-Source spirit, as many seem to believe. They have a long history of attacking/smearing open source and displaying a "I heart Linux" slide is not sufficient to erase all…
Managing a spreadsheet does not equal programming by a long shot, and given large enough complexity, you'll run head first into VBA macros and abominable one-liners with so much different branch points that it only…
How cool! It's a nice glimpse into an otherwise hidden past, something even the developers probably never thought would see the light of day again after release. I let a giggle escape at void* _gWanky_arse_tit_fuck;…
Thanks for that! It was a nice introduction, I have a colleague who usually made my eyes glaze over when he started about FP, but now that I have seen it in an environment that I understand and use in my day to day job,…
Couldn't Google's Project Shield be a nice gesture here for sites that are doing 'the good thing' when they're succumbing under the (positive) attention? It's meant as a DDoS protection measure, but the actual outcome…
Its future offspring could be the pinnacle of AR (Augmented Reality), add data as an overlay to the existing world, but in such a way that depth and perspective is preserved. In your case, seeing Stay Puft peek through…
I like the mapping ability, imagine mapping out your house and be able to use it as a level in a game, like walking on your ceiling with Oculus Rift.
Its (DK1/DK2) faithful successor would be War For The Overworld: https://wftogame.com/. Looks quite cool and the atmosphere certainly is there, but I don't know how far the development already has progressed. Last I…
Odd, I have that same sentiment with the Dutch voiceover for DKII, seems Bullfrog really worked out the details there.
It works on WINE, but I didn't install it through WINE but through dual boot, but I can play it in Ubuntu 13.10. Just open a terminal, type "wine", hit space and drag and drop the DKII.exe after it and hit ENTER. That…
While many seem to predict doom and gloom here, perhaps Google decided it rather gets an extra ally (Lenovo) that could produce Android phones and recoup some money they spent on the acquisition in the process? It also…
Rockstar Bidco, owned by Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Ericsson and Blackberry. They use this legal vehicle to create shell companies armed with ex-Nortel patents to attack Android manufacturers and Google itself. So they…
They aren't, that's the whole point of it. Increase Android's (or any other competition that isn't Apple or Windows Phone) Total Cost of Ownership, by adding layer after layer of frivolous patent licensing. Now…
It's for cases like these I miss Groklaw. The reporting that we get now usually is either shilling/biased or too low on details to get a clear picture of what went down, as patents and lawyerese usually result in a…
Well, that depends on your point of view. In your case, we let outside factors start having a majority say in decisions we used to make ourselves. In essence, you're fearing that we're handing away control of our lives…
smart phone > smart car > smart house > ... ? ... > smart human I for one see great areas of improvement and possibilities inside the common house. Not that I'd wire up every appliance with a Wi-Fi sensor, but some data…
