The article is shallow. It starts by casting doubt on the current crop of MOOCs - “if the lecture was such a bad format in the industrial age, why does it suddenly get celebrated o…

iPhone sync. With the pics, music and apps you can easily occupy 32GB.

We are so addicted to the net, even though we just started in the last 10-15 years, that Hollywood will have to content with the breadcrumbs. The argument that people still enjoy p…

When I was learning for the theoretical part of the test for my driving license, there were questions like: You are approaching an intersection form a secondary road and you see th…

I'd say the biggest problem, at least with Apple, is that App Store advertises only a few lists containing 50 apps each and that is too narrow. Why don't they allow people to make …

The interface is laggy and sometimes frozen (especially when I have updates in the background). It's a bust.

I would need an iPhone version too, in order to make it an equivalent of DropBox. Also, it's beta - there are going to be problems, bugs, etc. DropBox is polished. When AeroFS will…

It would seem I am alone in saying that for Bucharest, Romania the iOS6 Maps is better than Google Maps was because Google Maps was not able to look up houses by number - which mea…

You have no idea how intense is the desire of women aged 25-35 to have children. It's like a fever. If they have problems, they do all sorts of dangerous therapies in order to get …

I'm wondering how long until police drones patrol our highways, collecting more data on us. Or worse, a hacker building a trojan face recognition targeting system. Integrate that w…

Copyrights are restrictions on the rights of everyone. We can do without restrictions today. What we need is a system for reimbursing the authors, not a system for restricting copy…

I like their attitude, but... it needs more speed and better results, though using Bing as a source this might not be possible. The lack of image, news and video search is a proble…

I completed the course too. It wasn't a programming course, but a machine learning one, so I don't think it was bad they hand held us on the programming part. The homework played a…

Because in USA the business part of health is more important than the health part.

From what I got - they are replacing complex hardware with bare minimal hw. I would like to have such a thing that would connect 10 or 20 HDD together, cheaply, and have good speed…

This problem can be fixed. The ratio of messages sent by men:women could be limited.

Google missed an opportunity here - having YouTube and not YouPorn. Porn is huge.
