It's not just math class. It's every class. I've felt for some time that the incentives we're given in school are incorrectly formulated: performance on massive standardised tests gear your brain toward an ability for…
I'll believe it when I see it. Just a few bits quickly found in Google News archive search: November 2008: http://www.macworld.com/article/150187/2010/03/att_verizon_i... November 2009:…
Chatroulette is fun. Chatroulette is silly. Chatroulette as a cultural mainstay? Nah. I hate to bring business into this, but Chatroulette never really scored that high on a net promoter score — even if people…
This was already on here a couple of weeks ago when I published it, actually
I've seen too much news trying to spin the "Tesla raises $221MM" as a huge number. Sure, for most of us that hack away on web apps, $221 million is insanely high, but it's important to remember that Tesla's operating at…
I wonder if Google has the proper Party connections to keep this mischief going — I suspect with the shenanigans they're playing they either don't or don't care about keeping them. There appear to be too many forces…
Charge small, charge often. The EC2/Rackspace Cloud type of micropayment system is what I'd use here. Charge per chat session to begin with. Why? 1. Psychologically, to the consumer of the solution, each chat session…
As a Droid owner, I'm happy. I've been waiting for this. That said, I feel as if perhaps Kindle's killed itself. I can buy a $200 Android tablet with a decent, colour TN LCD and run this app on it.
It's a wonder that Apple is still a primarily American corporation at all. Really big companies like Accenture are multinational corporations, generally incorporated in a tax haven with decent legal standing and running…
Three things: 1. There are a bunch of environmental costs that still make them largely impractical: - the environmental cost of making the filters (plastic injection molding, etc.) - the environmental cost of disposing…
One of my last undergraduate reports as an economics student at the University of Michigan in 2007 was on the "true cost" of watered urinals vs. waterless urinals for the campus. The waterless ones were primarily used…
What stool did you buy? I've been wanting to do that but can't find a nice one.
Awesome link. Thanks.
Scoble's video is cool, but I'd like to hear Rana play an actual one-hour set with these (and live mixing of various audio tracks.) I'm a little skeptical as to whether or not it'd be really repetitive and/or possible…
I've never heard that saying before. SO, SO true.
