Looking through their site it looks like a Splunk search (or a query) can include a large set of non-trivial, CPU intensive operations. Therefore, perhaps, it is a process that doe…

Come on man! A brief & polite human interaction never hurt anyone!

How would the solution change if the problem was stated as follows: 'You meet a man on the street and he says, “I have two children and one is a son born in March.” What is the pro…

The users balk because they understand that their effective monthly/weekly price was jacked up, by a lot. Regardless of how much Netflix pitches their "unlimited" plan, users under…

Yup...the radio (wi-fi, 4G, LTE etc) version of this patent might be just around the corner.

I kinda like it - picture this simple scenario; you need to fix your car's brakes/rotate tires/change oil/fix taillights/buy gas?/ instead of going to 4-5 garages to get an optimal…

Totally agree. Also, he makes it sound that somehow creating a different platform - comparable to twitter in scale - is an easy task....

If you really think about it that's what advertising is, isn't it? Introducing the right stimulus at the right time at the right place to hopefully make you act when you otherwise …

You don't have to wait for the worst to happen. They don't have to blackmail and/or threaten you. They don't even have to abuse the data. What they have already gives them informat…

That search alone is probably nothing to worry about. However, over time they will know almost everything about you and you, on the other hand, will know almost nothing about them.…

I guess next in the pipeline is TweetDeck Web Desktop App :)

....wow, you lose your laptop(s) often...

Check out CCNx (Content Centric Networking) project from PARC/Xerox leaded by Van Jacobson - the security seems to be baked in the design. Here is an intro: http://www.slideshare.n…

Thank you bitsai! Great source. Google's Python Class is also good.

My question to you; is consuming content in a device that is not "dull, stodgy" worth 30% overcharge for life?

The problem is that YOU're going to end up paying an additional 30% of the price. Don't be fooled...those companies at the other end of the subscription will pass that 30% straight…

Well said sir, well said.

There is definitely a benefit. However, don't feel too complacent about the perceived benefit.

Would you make the same comment when they turn and use their "toys" against you?

Yup, when you start introducing countless rules like these topped with the tightly controlled procedure of approving/rejecting apps the whole iOS ecosystem just doesn't feel entici…

Completely agree!

So did the shopping mall owners for their tenants but I have never seen such a mall charges you 30% commission for the privilege and convenience (parking, indoors, cleanliness, foo…

Using Apple products is not mandatory, of course...but the real question is whether a 30% cut is a fair number or the methodology itself is fair to being with?

You're right...the "seamless dispatch service" has it value BUT nowhere near the value of the car itself including things like reliability, comfort, space (etc) and certainly not e…

yes they created the iPad...and I paid for it! Why should I pay more after that? It's like Ford saying they want 30% of all cab income since they created the "Crown Victoria" taxi …
