Feasible to cross dev with glass? Hmmm... I think I have a new project to work on!

Why would they buy DDG when they (FB) already have Bing? Oh...yeh. Is DDG for sale? :)

3lit3H4ck3r··on How to fix email while still keeping email
Could not agree more! Sick of the "I did not get your message" -BS!!! You got it and you know it!
3lit3H4ck3r··on Iran Not Cutting Off Internet Access, Bullet not Dodged
Clarification:

Which is why this report from the International Business Times is distressing. Much like Mike Daisey’s false reports from Foxconn, the reports have told half-truths, and once discovered, mislead the public into believing that there is no problem. This is only compounded when other outlets (like PandoDaily did) repeat the news. There is a problem, but it hasn’t fully developed yet.

3lit3H4ck3r··on Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter finishes at $3,335,250
Awesome stuff! Truly a great day for the project, Kickstarter and the internet overall. Not only traditional publishers trembling, but their establishment middlemen financiers...only place to go from here is up with any single inventor or team with a concept that can catch the eye of the funding crowd!
3lit3H4ck3r··on Stakeout: how the FBI tracked and busted a Chicago Anon
While sup_g may indeed have been a "credible threat," he was in the end no match for the overwhelming federal resources of the FBI agents hunting him down. Over the last month, federal agents staked out his home in Chicago constantly, dug up old police surveillance records, tapped his Internet connection, used directional wireless finders to locate and identify his wireless router, and relied on Sabu back in his New York City apartment to let them know when sup_g went on or offline.

...anything beyond the IPs because that would be considered wiretapping.

But that is exactly what it appears they had the authority to do no?

3lit3H4ck3r··on Aerial robots swarm the stage at TED [video]
The scariest part of inventing/innovation; the realization that what one creates may fall into the hands of those with aims that are less than noble...

Unfortunately, I agree. From the first time I saw this technology the top application that jumped off the page to me was of a military nature. Perhaps a day will come when this may not be so. Until that day comes, tech like this, I believe, will save lives; on and off the battlefield.
3lit3H4ck3r··on Your Circles, now in Google Voice
MMS is supported for Sprint subs.
3lit3H4ck3r··on Your Circles, now in Google Voice
True.

>"for example, calls from your “Creepers” circle can be sent straight to Voicemail"

Maybe I just got caught up in the term used. Perhaps these are folks that for whatever reason one must interact with but like to manage communications? In my personal use a "creepers" circle would be named "co-workers" insert humor here.

3lit3H4ck3r··on Your Circles, now in Google Voice
To speak to the first first question, I believe the answer to be in the affirmative. To speak to your second point/question; honestly, I was thinking the same thing. Creepers circle? Why not just "un-follow"?
3lit3H4ck3r··on A Schrödinger cat with eight lives: quantum entanglement of eight photons
Kind of what my gut was telling me (from the Google Talk comments):

"I feel like a lot of assmptions were made in this lecture. We've thrown formulas out the window before because they didn't agree with newly experimental data. Using the schroedinger equation to prove the results of the quantum eraser is pretty much equivalent to using old newtonian formulas to prove that you can travel faster than the speed of light - it doesn't hold water. I'm not saying Ron Garret is wrong, but too many assumptions were made in this proof, i'd rather trust experimental data."

Still reading. Thanks!

Great contribution replax. Systemically, I follow his argument. Please, allow me to study this topic further. In my gut "something" does not feel right regarding his conclusion.

>I'm not sure its really accurate to call the Copenhagen interpretation the "standard interpretation"?

You are correct. There are other accepted interpretative models. However, the Copenhagen interpretation remains the most widely accepted.

3lit3H4ck3r··on A Schrödinger cat with eight lives: quantum entanglement of eight photons
This is the future of computation:

>However, the system is also powerful enough that it is a step forward in terms of optical quantum computation. The authors suggest that their setup may enable quantum simulations to tackle more complicated problems in condensed matter physics than have been possible so far.

That is why I posted this article.

Wow. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

For the record I am a HUGE fan of the Android OS. However, these security issues MUST be addressed.

3lit3H4ck3r··on Roger Boisjoly dies at 73; engineer tried to halt Challenger launch
I know this is a movie. But I think we all get the point.

Gordon Cooper: You boys know what makes this bird go up? FUNDING makes this bird go up.

Gus Grissom: He's right. No bucks, no Buck Rogers.

3lit3H4ck3r··on Roger Boisjoly dies at 73; engineer tried to halt Challenger launch
Stunning.

"When the space shuttle Columbia burned up on reentry in 2003, killing its crew of seven, the accident was blamed on the same kinds of management failures that occurred with the Challenger. By that time, Boisjoly believed that NASA was beyond reform, some of its officials should be indicted on manslaughter charges and the agency abolished."

"NASA's mismanagement "is not going to stop until somebody gets sent to hard rock hotel," Boisjoly said. "I don't care how many commissions you have. These guys have a way of numbing their brains. They have destroyed $5 billion worth of hardware and 14 lives because of their nonsense." "

Great advice! I love HN!
3lit3H4ck3r··on I'll tell you why movie revenue is dropping...
^ "I think Hollywood could care less about movie theaters. That said, they can't get people to pay them $10/person to watch a movie at home, so the theater model allows them to take advantage of customers, price-wise."

- I stand corrected. I think you just might be right.

"I think there's just way too much inefficiency in Hollywood -- the video game industry provides much better entertainment value-per-dollar (in terms of hours of entertainment, at least). That's partly due to the medium, of course, but I can't help but imagine that if someone could develop hollywood-like films without actually being part of the hollywood apparatus, they'd be poised to really disrupt that market."

I agree. However, is not Netflix trying to go this route as a content producer? I hope they succeed.

3lit3H4ck3r··on I'll tell you why movie revenue is dropping...
^-Same here. However that is not going to happen due to the fact that Hollywood is devoted to protecting their brick and mortar distribution network, a.k.a, the theater.

3lit3H4ck3r··on Fred Wilson: Some Thoughts On The Louis CK "Experiment"
>The next Lucy's and Oprah's may already exist now and they've started their little empires on YouTube.

Just imagine all of the talent that (prior to the web,youtube blogs,fill in the blank web based distribution model of your choice here) gave up because someone in media never thought they would "sell".

Truly is a great time to be alive, both for the artist and the folks that love good content.

Viva Le Web!
