The defense tech example mentioned in the article is compelling, but I think the most exciting thing that will come from 3D printing is the ability to print non-organic materials to build materials in space, where transportation logistics a

There's many different ways to install Rails and those will always be available whether someone creates an installer or not as long as source code is available. However, there is a combination of Ruby, Rails, and the database choices that

HeatSync Labs in Mesa, AZ hosts a 3D printing night where people (and kids!) can design and print their own objects with some hacker assistance. Its pretty rad. Result in first photo: http://www.heatsynclabs.org/last-weeks-in-pics-becaus

I agree that its fast and efficient to use the search box, but its something I rarely see people doing outside circles of sysadmins and developers. The existing UI can easily be saved by just knocking out the expandable panels completely an

I really want to love the MeeGo Netbook UX and ran it for a month on my Lenovo s10-3t but can't get over its filing-cabinet UI; I can't just get to an application outside of the 6 or so on the quick launch box. You have to click on a tab,

I think "drives them relentlessly forward" is a part of the conversation we're missing out on. Useful feedback can come from anywhere, even an asshole. Waiting for insight from only expert communicators seems like a way to slow down one's

You see it a lot between iOS and Android camps. I get flak from Android fanboys constantly and I don't even use an iPhone . If each system was so perfect, there wouldn't be a need for anyone to prove anything. We're pitted into camps of

Anyone know its battery life? I'd think at least 20 minutes of flight time would be needed to take this from expensive cat-toy to a surveillance tool.

This looks like it was a pretty awesome time. Is this sort of thing open to anyone wanting to build something cool? Could I happen-to-be-in-New-York-City my way into the next Music Hack Day?

Its the users. Quora started out as an invite system, so as invites percolated outward from the founders, many Silicon Valley technologists and their friends came into the fold and sort of defined its current culture. Yahoo Answers, on th

I lived in BFE, Idaho until college and didn't have access to a PC most of my time there, and unfortunately, I had access to zero programmers. My introduction to programming concepts was made through trying to figure out and modify crappy J

I sort of disagree. I agree that many kids will spend more time doing things that are immediately satisfying, but I think the values they absorb at an early age have a bigger influence; When I was really young my Mom would take me to museu

They're not a "bunch," they're like, a dozen. A dozen people trying to make a site work for several millions of people at once. That's no short order for such a small team.

From what I understand, Tumblr is an extremely small company. Your local Denny's has more people on payroll. NYC is running out of top-notch developers (thus why Bloomberg goes out of his way to tell people from other cities to move to hi
