I was checking out the new google earth functionality and their new closer satellite photo sets they've just installed. I was measuring something and google told me it came to 67' I thought to myself hmm thats a shame i know for a fact its 62' long so its out about 8% - a minute or two later i slapped myself in the side of the head thinking wtf are you talking about, you are measuring

Imagine a world in which all you need before heading out the door to shop, grab a bite or catch a movie is your smartphone. That is right: no wallet, credit cards or cash required, just your smartphone. http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/opinion/columns/11958.html Imagine a world when people are going to quit writing articles about how we get to leave slim bits of non-traceable paper and slim

Thrun told the story of his Introduction to Artificial Intelligence class, which ran from October to December last year. It started as a way of putting his Stanford course online — he was going to teach the whole thing, for free, to anybody in the world who wanted it. With quizzes and grades and a final certificate, in parallel with the in-person course he was giving his Stanford undergrad

Twitter suspends Proxlet - http://mashable.com/2012/01/17/twitter-proxlet/ I didnt even know this app existed until now and it is exactly what i suggested i would love to have developed in a blog post just last week. Twitter suspending worthwhile client apps is ridiculous. Time to take back control and make Twitter our bitch instead of the other way around.

Anyone else find it weird that The Good Wife was based tonight on the mystery behind the creator of Bit Coin? lol they are definitely using the tried and true "Law And Order" model of taking their storylines from current news topics - http://www.observer.com/2011/06/bit-omoney-whos-behind-the-bitcoin-bubble/ The only problem was when they started the ghosting theory at the end, I almost barfed.

Cool twitter app idea :) Twitter client that allows you to read posts via api BUT allows you to block certain keywords eg people/accounts you dont want to see retweeted. eg block me from seeing any twitter posts with the word "Fox News" in it. Though i think my next Twitter app idea will be a twitter app that allows you to follow people who you dont want to let know that youre following them eg

The most interesting article you will read today. - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-hidden-brain Until recently, our understanding of the brain was based on a century-old idea called the neuron doctrine.

Saw the Traces performance last night (http://tracesusa.com/), some amazing feats that blew my brain about what the human body is capable of. Could do with some better choreography (evolved storyline?) but the stunts are first class. Couldn't begin to imagine how much training over their lifetime these athletes must have done to train to their current level, half of the crew are from Quebec so

Number 1 difference about Australia/New York? the air in Australia feels nice!!! I dont know how to freaking explain this but basically from the moment we walked out at Mascot i can feel the air on my skin and it feels soft and luxurious. I'm guessing its related to moisture content or something similar but after 3 days here it still feels nice and its freaking me out worrying what is in the

$5m is a fairly significant chunk to build almost most startups http://rossdawsonblog.com/weblog/archives/2011/11/latest-equity-crowdfunding-coming-shortly-congress-offers-bipartisan-support.html Wonder how long this is likely to take to pass through congress.

After reading the 1,000th argument on LinkedIn about what is better to use...NFC or QR codes. My advice is always "concentrate less on what technology to use and concentrate on how you use".

Timeline is the MySpace"Glittery Font" signifying the jumping of the shark for Facebook. (That and the fact there is now no longer a way to force facebook to show you "ALL" updates...they only serve up what they think is relevant to you (eg you dont see all of your friends posts anymore). You can mark todays date as the zenith of usability of Facebook. It's all downhill from here.

I'd like to know if you can return to Sony your PS3 AND all the game titles you've purchased for a full refund as they want to change the terms "after" you've purchased. Sony asks gamers to sign new terms or face PSN banhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14948701Sony is preparing to ban gamers from the PlayStation Network (PSN) unless they waive the right to collectively sue it over future

It's a weird Friday, tinged with mixed emotions about being too far away from friends and not being able to do anything about it. This video reminds me that life is for living and it's too short to do anything boring. I've uploaded a few of my other favorite Pet Shop Boys tracks into the blogs "Mood Music of the Day" box. Happy Friday everyone. Cheers, Dean

An Ikea store in Sydney, Australia, has either set retail shopping forward by three decades or set gender equality back by three decades—you decide: they're testing out Manland, which is, as one local newscaster describes it, "basically a creche for husbands and boyfriends with short retail attention spans. http://curbed.com/archives/2011/09/15/

What i noticed was interesting in this article  http://venturebeat.com/2011/09/01/netflix-loses-starz-2012/   was that it is a fixed price rather than per subscriber, so as netflix signs up more users the additional users are pure profit for netflix instead of a per subscriber fee which is the way content providers work with cable networks.

My Thecus N7700 finally got repaired. Cost me a little under $500 for shipping, replacement motherboard, replacement DOM (plus another $60 for the replacement power supply that i bought elsewhere). I find it hard to believe that 3 out of 4 electrical parts all need replacing in just over 2 years. The bad part is it took 19 days from shipping the unit to Thecus and getting it back : ( As they

Pretty much zero damage in our street but 1 block over on Hicks St between Clark and Love Lane this monster. Basically i blame the building owners for not trimming the branches considering the limited size of the root mass in the front courtyard area, the thing was probably so top heavy that it didn't take much wind to blow over a saturated wet green mass when the soil holding the roots was wet.

Yes we felt it here in Brooklyn heights. What surprised me is how long it went on for. Two things I’ve learnt 1/ our mobile phone infrastructure is shit, my wife couldn’t reach me on my Verizon mobile kept sending her to my voicemail (and when she called the office number the voip service is configured to also send calls simultaneously to mobile….means she kept getting voicemail), when i

Wow there must be a huge overhang of people using Windows XP still. I was reading an article today that hit this home for me there are almost twice as many Facebook users (700m) versus number of Windows 7 users (400m). I'm not sure what number is more staggering, the size of facebook or the lack of traction in Windows 7. Cheers, Dean

I saw an advertisement for the new Hertz OnDemand service and noticed that they are offering "One Way Rentals" including to the airport and i thought cool, thats one of the problems with the ZipCar membership i currently have, in that you always have to return it back to the location you rented it from.

Argh just found out from Thecus they still haven't fixed my N7700 and worse the call center are useless, i was just told by "katie" i should expect a 5-10 day minimum wait!!! Be aware that the Thecus is based on proprietary hardware and that should something go wrong you are at the mercy of Thecus to get a replacement part. My N7700 died 2 months out of warranty and they wanted $395 for a
