The whole article is based on the assumption that people make donation to universities as charitable donations. I find that a bit unrealistic. Give money to universities are gesture of appreciation from alumni, gain more opportunities of ne

3D TV is no longer a gadget that can be easily purchased on a whim and throw away in the closet later. Check the 3D TV sale in China, I bet you will find it's not more than the US. For now I can only provide an anecdotal evident that m

sorry, just saying that I actually work in the field, not just a bystander saying apple is evil. I would be very happy if OSM in the end works(which I believe it will, just need at least a couple of more years); I would also be happy if app

The map failure is just another example of where apple's design principle cannot be blindly applied to every product. Apple's top-down approach on software design is expected to fail on Maps. Maps put hard requirement on data, bottom data,

I am somewhat doubtful about gyroscope replacing GPS. If it can actually happen, it will require, as noted by others, re-tuned/tweaked/calibrated/adjusted every day/week to void accumulated error/noise. Keep in mind that as precise as gyros

Usually priceonomics provides statistics from a large poll of customer/purchase record, .etc. That is information you couldn't gain elsewhere. Somewhat like an analytics publication. This article is just a description of a shopping experi

Interesting point but I'd like to see some feedback from real Chinese user(s). (although I am Chinese, I am not currently physically in China so cannot test it out). The major difference between the two maps is that the Apple one has more P

thanks for the feedback on the tone. See constructive suggestion in my reply to awenger. one comment on the survey vs. server log comparison: Survey also doesn't give you "why" on user behavior; it only give you what the user "thinks" the r

Thanks for responding to my, as noted by others, rather "rude" critique. I think you guys are building something distinctive from the surveys on AmazonTurk, SocialSci, because your recruitment poll is not chosen. Turkers went to amazon with

My argument is targeting at the whole "survey" business, not this or that dev team in particular. I would much prefer the dev team here to do a great job, "fixing" the broken online survey business instead of adding on to it. If you are par

No. You probably don't need a degree in experimental psychology to understand that forced recruitment gives you invalid/biased/low quality data. These surveys are annoying to the users; more importantly, the data provided has little if at a

High-quality Open-access Peer-reviewed journal that takes less than a year to get review and published is already in place (e.g., http://www.josis.org/index.php/josis ). As a matter of fact, the academic community loves it.

It's a good (but wrong) analogy to compare to the "head-up" display on airplanes. However, driving is a 2D experience compared to flying. Pilot would need to pay attention to the surrounding in the 3D world where as driving, pretty much is
