This seems like a great time to post the phenomenal Everything is a Remix [1]. Part one discusses movies, part two film, and part three discusses interfaces for computers, with special emphasis on Xerox PARC, Apple, and the Mac. 1. http:&#

You could enhance that second point by adding some noise to the function so the difficulty isn't a smooth ramp — you get some tough monsters earlier and then maybe the next group isn't as difficult.

Definitely after. Cooking denatures the myosin and releases water; a seared steak soaking in water isn't going to have the kind of texture you'll get (and want!) from the Maillard reaction. I guess what I mean is that it'll t

The worst part of R is that array indices begin at 1, and trying to get an array at 0 will fail silently by returning 0. I've spent many a night trying to figure out why all my data is wrong because my_array[0] * frame$column is return

Not everyone measures success by money and leisure time. Especially in more creatively-derived industries, like culinary arts, I find that money has little to do with what people judge as success. Many simply want to make the best food they

The fact that he's just using canny suggests to me that it's just a simple hack he threw together. There are LOTS of other edge detection algorithms, but canny is pretty good and so easy to implement that it's the most genera

There is a lot of inconsistency in gyroscope accuracy between Android devices. The developers of Bounden posted about it here: http://gameovenstudios.com/bounden-on-android-delayed/

What I meant was to shy away from approaches that are PURELY based on statistics if you have no background in it, because it can get overwhelming quickly. Of course, if it's worth it to invest the time required to have a fundamental underst

Edward Tufte's book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is a monumental book. He writes not about how to make your graphs look pretty, but how to display vast quantities of data and distill them down into useful graphics that com

If the iPhone was going to threaten Nintendo, it would have done it already. Game Center-like backends are hardly uncommon on it. OpenFeint has been around for a long time, and it's pretty prevalent.

This gives me that really excited feeling in my gut that I get when I see something cool. I've always wanted to learn how to play piano, but I was always overwhelmed by diving right in. This is why the iPad is going to be so cool. Do you ha

Then you shouldn't be focusing on the quote itself. The quote is just an efficient preview of the material. Focus on accurately giving people news they want, and make THAT the selling point. I'd pay for something like this.

So what you're REALLY providing isn't a quote-aggregation service, but rather an intelligent method of showing people content from around the internet based on how much they like a topic. It's like Pandora but for news. EDIT: community-powe

I can do all of this on Tumblr -- with the exception of finding people's quotes. Sell me on why that's the killer feature.

The movie review idea is very interesting. It sounds like what Netflix is doing. I hate to be one of those crazy predictors, but I wonder if Google will ever partner with Netflix on that topic. It seems like a good idea.

I'm not sure this author has actually spent any amount of time on Chatroulette. The article reads as a list of video stats glued together with some exposition about the magic of the internet. The average Chatroulette connection lasts, in my

It's a good start, but it feels like it's a bunch of unconnected ideas at this point. I think you need some better copy, but you also need to refine your layout. Overall, it feels too busy. Items are shunted together in a confusing way, and

Simple answer: no. If they use this for anything, I imagine it'll be for something similar to the iPhone, but without another company (like AT&T) backing them up financially. This allows Apple to sell something at a low price but still
