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 coul…

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 M…

This really wouldn't be the first time.

Looks like you've been featured on LifeHacker. Not bad for a weekend project. http://lifehacker.com/5829786/tv-size-matters-lets-you-try-n...

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…

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://…

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 d…

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 caug…

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…

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 n…

I didn't down vote, but here's a shot in the dark: The post concerns Deal Score, something that was added to SeatGeek which aggregates sale prices of seats over time into a general…

There is a CSS property set on all elements. It doesn't seem to be working quite right... * { text-rendering: optimizelegibility; }

Perhaps in relation to this patent (and a host of others, I'm sure)... METHOD FOR CREATING A PEER-TO-PEER IMMEDIATE MESSAGING SOLUTION WITHOUT USING AN INSTANT MESSAGING SERVER htt…

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 …

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…

Microsoft put a shot up of it's store with an Angry Birds icon. The developer(s?) of Angry Birds never said they were making a version for Windows Phone 7. The developers weren't c…

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 be…

"The solution was to drop the mice into the snakes’ natural habitat, the branches of trees in the jungles of Guam. By outfitting the mice with cardboard wings and green party strea…

I'm going to second this, as a Google search for "Edith" "eBay Legal Department" provides several other situations where people are still standing (including a site named 'www.payp…

I'm going to pistol whip the next person that says "AngelGate" (Worth it.)

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…
