Love it. This site is hella-fast and responsive compared to the other "Try [x]" web apps I've used before. Love the addition of LOLCODE. Personally, it took me a second to figure out the lambda and eg buttons, but I…
I like the idea. I'd like San Antonio or Austin to be added to the list of cities available. Keep up the good work!
Even though I agree with most of this list, I still can't help but feel a little put-off by all the geek-this and geek-that speak. There seemed to be a basic point that "geeks" usually have a low tolerance for the…
Exactly. And my bet is that the people that need to read this the most won't read past the headline or first paragraph.
If you were trying to discourage your girlfriend from purchasing shoes, this method would probably only discourage your girlfriend from checking in to shoe stores.
I'm American, and I have to agree with you. I travelled to Ireland last month and having 1 and 2 € coins was great. The different sized bills took a little getting used to, but even that was great because I could…
If these people really thought about it, they would see that the market is flooded with lawyers and screaming for quality engineers of all kinds. I know this because my wife is in law school and the law schools are…
What a great move to get NFC accepted into the mainstream.
I agree. While most of the items on that list are web based, they are easy enough things that can be worked on while taking classes. Working on projects like these get you into the hacking/diy mindset that really…
^ This. If Apple ever decides to use this technology in a way that is deemed censorship, I'll join the "No Apple Kill Switch" initiative, but until then, I agree that there are reasonable uses for this tech.
I was really impressed with the concept back in January when I tried to get a beta account. Being a 20-something and born into the tech generation, I would be comfortable with a bank that didn't have a brick and mortar…
While it's common practice for a city government to give tax breaks for large corporations in exchange for bringing a large number of jobs (almost like a "thank you" for bolstering the local economy), the sales-tax…
I'm impressed. A quickdraw holster for cameras, gunslinger => filmslinger.
Similar to how the DoHS is seizing domains, and their screwup that resulted in 84,000 wrongly seized domains.
This could be done using geolocation too (e.g., if you're inside the GPS coordinates of the Pentagon, camera is deactivated). Of course, all you would have to do is turn of location services on your phone. Or, depending…
The article hints at this possibility.
I tried a similar technique a year ago, and I had similar results. I found myself straying from the 25/5 by 5, 10 or more minutes. Ultimately, it was beneficial because it forced me to focus on the tasks and how much…
I hope their advertising doesn't attract more negative attention from the local government.
As long as you have Twitter and Facebook hooked up to your Foursquare account... None of my close friends use Foursquare, a couple of them have Twitters, and all of them have Facebook. Communicating location solely…
I agree. I think people will surround themselves with a filter bubble with or without personalized search results. Ever tried to convince an avid Fox or CNN reader to read the opposing view's site? From my personal…
In the past 6 months, I have been issued 3 new credit cards due to security breaches. The stock market has crashed a couple times. Despite these breaches or crashes, I'm not going to cancel my cards and transfer…
