This is satire, but it's hilariously close to what happened when Bill Gates attempted to install Movie Maker.

I'm convinced that Google Glass will fail for this exact reason. People really don't like being recorded. Even though surveillance cameras are widespread, it's much more personal when you can see the person recording you.

All it will take is one creepy app for Google Glass and people will start to revolt. Imagine an app that has a large amateur porn database that does facial recognition on people around you and displays naked images of similar looking people. Obviously that would be an incredibly hard software problem to get working well, but it doesn't have to work well; in fact it doesn't have to work at all. All that is needed is a single article about it in the press and it will take off.

I imagine that a very loud privacy vs free speech debate is imminent.

I'm curious, do you have a source for this? I have a google apps account for my domain, are they rejecting emails before they reach the 'spam' folder?

I've worked extensively with sensored gloves in my job, both designing the gloves, and developing software to do cool things with them. By far the most difficult thing to do is make a compelling application that effectively utilizes the capabilities of the hardware. This is a very cool piece of hardware, but it's success is going to be defined on whether or not they are able to make it better than existing input devices, which tend to be quite good already.

Thank for fixing!

FYI: this is unreadable on my WP8 device. The screen width is set smaller than the text width so I have so scroll left and right for every line.

The source for the program used to generate the words is on the site. It's a pretty scary Perl program.

This was a really interesting talk. Does anyone know where to find other lectures (or whatever this is technically called) by other influential programmers/computer scientists?

You can work around to the text kerning issue by using custom web-fonts. But I agree, they definitely need to fix this issue.

There is already a bug report for your second issue:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46021

It's clearly not official. It seems to be associated with chhahat.com

The results from speedtest.net shown in that article indicate a ping time of 3ms. So Google's internet is still really really fast.

That list should probably be linked to from the front page, instead of hidden 4 pages deep.

There seems to be a fair number of models that are supported:

There's more information about Buddy on his website:

I'm able to start the login process in Safari on my iPhone and when I get to the prompt for the one-time code, switch to the Authenticator app, double click on the number to get the copy icon, then switch back to Safari and paste it.

Yes, Gmail does top posting, but the threaded display that Gmail uses shows each message in chronological order from the top down.

The graph they have is a poor way to represent the 'domination'. Here is a pie chart (with values eyeballed from their graph) of the various app categories:

Yeah, it's not really dominating at all.

Companies have different usage guidelines for their trademarks. For example, here is Microsoft's:

Is there any benefit to having multiple domain names pointing to the same site? For example, I already have myname.com, is there any advantage to also having myname.me?

Ah yes, disc brakes would explain it.

This requires a bike that doesn't have hand brakes, otherwise the zip ties would get caught on the brake pads.

It was only a matter of time until they arrested someone. Putting the controversy surrounding Wikileaks aside, this arrest seems like a good thing. Setting a precedence of not punishing people for DDOS attacks would be definitely be bad. Especially when the DDOS attacks are so simple to do, "download this program, enter http://visa.com into the first box and press Go".

They seem to be targeting the embedded market, which is mostly Windows based.

I second that. I didn't have an appreciation for C until I took a few college classes that focused on developing relatively complex embedded systems in assembly -- now I really, really like C.

Most of the hacks in that guide assume that you don't care about readability or even portability to a certain extent. It certainly isn't everyday that you need to optimize your code at that level, but in some instances it could be useful (for example trying to reduce delay in a real-time program.)

Here's a much more comprehensive collection of bit hacks:
