Not sure if it is retroactive but the ACM has changed their access policy a little: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2011/10/131401-acms-copyright-....
Anderson is so incredibly misunderstood. He makes the same, single point over and over: interconnectivity makes niches easier to reach. That's it. No "the blockbuster is dead", no "throw away everything you've ever…
There's an ACM article with a time-line of new technologies (with company name) followed by date that technology based a billion dollar industry (with company name). I can't find it now but it was interesting because…
Great price compared to the Pro edition. How does Mathematica compare with R for statistics?
Facebook and Twitter cater to complete different tastes of two almost entirely different audiences This is the important point. Facebook will never be as succinct as Twitter. Facebook will never fit in the palm of your…
PasswordSafe (Password Gorilla for Linux/Mac users) is a nice option for password management (which I'm sure you've seen and decided against). But the Truecrypt volume sync works very well. I've been keeping a…
I think the fact that we need to step back when processor technology changes shows that we (the software community) lack a truly pervasive concurrent programming model. Does Clojure really offer a truly orthogonal…
"[...] students need to be able to do the hard jobs". Difficulty comes in all shapes and sizes. Your next point is better: "[...] teach concepts instead of tools and languages". That approach to education sees any…
Diigo does a pretty nice job of highlighting. I don't publish my highlights but a lot of other people do. Socialbrowse might address something I find a bit annoying about Diigo: I don't care what most people think about…
"the petabyte scale [...] forces us to view data mathematically first and establish a context for it later." Doesn't establishing a mathematical view require one to posit a theory? I'm not seeing anything profound here.…
Cool idea. A couple of good points made in the comments: 1. Flexible hours 2. Privacy/Safety issues The first point is common to all ride-share including mass-transit. I think you need to consider a mobile strategy that…
Technocrati rank is kind of like karma isn't it?
Never mind, Zenbe beat them to it: http://www.zenbe.com/.
Maybe there's an opportunity here. The article points to a number of aggregation issues.
