Don't forget the possibility of data being repeated by your electric meter even if you don't provide WiFi. They're generally dual band, operating at WiFi frequencies for local interaction and with more power at a lower…
But what of value was actually produced by that "computational effort"? What is the current total worth of the results for all of that computational effort? If effort produces nothing of lasting value, is it a valid…
"Giving someone coins is similar to Bitcoin." It is quite a stretch to compare bitcoin to gold or other useful metals. Gold has significant inherent value, bitcoin is inherently worthless. The value of gold can't fall…
"The above equation is also why lights in your house dim when you turn on a motor (= inductor). There is a significant current change, and the voltage changes even more, so the lights dim." Uh, no. Most of the voltage…
"But the problem is living spaces being separate from working spaces." Some companies have closely integrated living and working. Foxconn is one such company. (some have suggested that Foxconn employee depression…
I think people are missing the point. Apple is actually moving in the direction of less lock-in as far as the consumer goes. They've basically said that in the latest generation many people won't need to buy any one…
Foxconn has had some problems, but didn't rank that poorly. It seems to be more a case of what life is like in China. "In a survey published in 2010 by Oxfam Hong Kong, Foxconn ranked sixth for corporate social…
MobileMe accounts are being extended to a year from now for free, before the service is shut off. If the phone no longer meets her needs at that time, she can sell it to help fund a new one (or perhaps you will have yet…
' "Search" is not a vertical market.' Search alone isn't vertical, search alone isn't even a market if people don't pay for it. You misunderstand the (Google) business and who the customers are. Those doing the searches…
Yes. It is also worth mentioning that GNUnet is designed to be a secure framework, making it more than just the core of another P2P program. For instance it potentially might be used as the basis for other functions…
Ballmer pretty much acknowledged the state of things "the world's going html5" back in late 2010. (Ballmer interview) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI47b3a9cEI…
It must be a parallel project. When 4.0 was released to the public, the next update provided 40 b13 nightly users was a 4.2 alpha. (some plug-ins break)
It's too bad there apparently aren't any robots ready to put into service in Fukushima. They might have robotic arms or cranes for doing things like shuffling fuel rods, but what can help with doing improvised welding…
There's quite a bit of misleading info in some news reporting making numeric comparisons between numbers representing different types of data (activity totals versus exposure rates) and in some cases mismatching units…
It strikes me as a site for scamming people, http://bit.ly/fgGX3a sure doesn't sound like a normal way to access the Red Cross. The retailing links are fishy too.

Now to see something like this work with a net-enabled 3D television.
It's okay to be the quiet one. That improves the chances of you being a good listener, someone that really listens instead of being tuned-out while composing your next line. It's important for many reasons to strike a…
That would be an improvement over something some cable tv systems once did in small communities. If a town had one nearby full-power analog tv station, analog signals carried on the same channel on cable would often get…
In some cases those profiting from the earlier higher priced sale of a property, and the commissions, were committing fraud. One of the story links indicates that Toxie was connected to a known case. A realtor flipped a…
The original Crystal Quest of the mid to late 80's on monochrome Macs and the early color version on the Mac II were great (but not MultiFinder compatible). Very addictive and fast/smooth which was a feat on the 8 and…

This technology clear goes way too far. It might be a good idea to remind employers of when the state of Texas sued doubleclick for stalking. Knowing how to do something doesn't mean that you should do it. There will be…
