Hate to play devil's advocate, but it sounds somewhat similar to what Israel does with their airports, but leveraging technology to identify all details (and more than a human could reasonably do), rather than training individuals to do the

What I want to see is how the app market will pan out. I can only assume (and didn't previously consider) that this will not carry Google branding at all - that means the Android Market, Gmail, Maps, etc, apps will all be missing. The Andro

What matters is that the NEA now officially considers video games worthy of artistic merit, which is pretty damn cool. Since the first I heard of this (apparent) debate, I wondered why artwork, music, and story were all works of art separ

I think you could stand to improve the c/cpp highlighting. Found this code using google code search for main.cpp, it is not mine: http://codr.cc/s/1cb504a3/cpp compare with http://code.google.com/p/movement-game/source/browse/trunk/t..

Although Gruber is summing it up based on a developer's words, they do state this ridiculous data collection in their privacy policy (which is an implied agreement, based on your downloading of the app). http://color.com/privacy -- We als

Harmonix (creators of Guitar Hero, which they sold, and Rock Band) has a similar story. They created a handful of games over a decade or so, all music based, that never really caught on. When they released Guitar Hero and a few karaoke game

I moved to the Chicago area around a little over a year ago and this feature has been around at least that long. It's also available by enabling the "Transit" layer under the "More..." button, and also the transit layer in the Maps applicat

I want to agree with you so badly (and to some extent, I suppose I do), but any time I consider the margin of users you could "safely" exclude, I consider the competitor who does not.

Maybe it's time the browser developers start telling sites what to do and try to standardize use of a custom HTTP request header like this: X-Preferred-Format: ('Desktop' | 'Mobile')

I recall creating my password for Verified by Visa, but never successfully entering it again. It's never stopped me from getting the goods and getting charged, though.

I would argue that if there is a way to get a comment on the board at all, those who want to continue arguing will post those comments. Also, if you can edit your comments, you're opening the door for twisted threads where replies are in on

Neopets was bashed for some time with claims that the games they produced were similar to gambling games. I think it proves prior art in and of itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopets

Close - Dodgeball was created in 2000 and acquired by Google in 2005. In 2009, they discontinued Dodgeball in favor of Google Latitude. It looks as though prior art existed well before Facebook even existed. I don't think anyone has anythin

Strangely, I didn't like seeing the "We don't spam." I didn't even suspect it with a cell number. I understand it's a small website and all, but perhaps a tiny privacy policy would be better? More thoughts: It occured to me that a lot of my

I think you're working too hard on the explanation of what happened here. I think the problem is that four undergrads were given a quarter million dollars to compete with the largest website on the internet and people expected anything but

Not to downplay a rather interesting vulnerability, but why does it matter if someone figures out where you are? As much as I love my own real (not internet) privacy, I don't depend on people not knowing where I am. The success of sites suc
