This is a good sign of Amazon gearing up the Kindle store before the release of their rumored tablet lineup.

Are there anny similar projects for Python out there?

If it works effectively, you wouldn't really need that many smartphones. A lot many countries go by with shared resources for many areas to get things done.

E.g. In villages in India or Africa etc., there might be one person with a computer and an internet connection who might offer his/her services as a co-operative for the residents of the village. The same way, one smartphone equipped with the relevant applications per district or a village can effectively tender assistance to all those in need from the surrounding areas.

The first thing I tried was to change the password (iPhone 4 4.3.3) after jailbreaking but the MobileTerminal crashes upon launch. Same story after a phone restart.

Edit: Figured out the problem. Looks like the MobileTerminal in the CYdia repo doesn't work for iOS 4.0 onwards. The following is a working version from the author of the app:

Blackboard is one of the crappiest products i've used at school. Thank goodness I didn't have to put up with it for more than a couple of semesters before my school changed out to a different product to manage grades/courses etc. Administrative stuff like grades, assignments, etc. with Blackboard was a mind numbing exercise. One would need the patience of a monk to deal with it. The UX still looked like it was 1991 and nobody liked to use it, students and instructors alike!

I don't know how many startups and companies have been stopped in their path to improve service and experience by these litigious patent enforcing jackholes.

Here's a working link to the videos: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

I searched for C# / C Sharp and I got recommendations for K&R, a Book on Cognitive Science and a book on rock climbing.

Looks like it's missing reccos for Django, Dot Net, C#, etc. and some rather specialized stuff like neurology/neuroscience which I didn't really expect to be on the list anyways.

Good effort thought. I'm going to bookmark the site for future reference

I understand you're new here. But try to be "fucking" civil and try reasoning out instead of ranting.

And as far as the matter of dropbox, a few others in this thread have concisely addressed the real "issue" at hand.

A little off the track but do you intend to have a "Follow AMA" style button or A favorites button like StackOverflow to follow the interesting ones? It'd help to keep a track of all the conversations flying around the site.

Isn't he the same guy who was barred from the iOS store for creating crappy apps that were essentially just webpages packaged as applications?

Wonder whatever happened to that ordeal

what's better is a Randall'd version of Midas Touch .. passed through fresh lemons + mint..

Some interesting quotes from the guy who runs britcoin.co.uk-

"..However, Amir Taaki, who runs the rival Bitcoin exchange Britcoin.co.uk, disputes this chain of events. Developers working on his site, which runs on much of the same software as MtGox, found a security hole several days before the hack was carried out. He says MtGox was notified publicly and privately of the issue. .."

Maybe an application that has Facebook features + Facebook Chat a la Gtalk / Aim + Some sort of Skype integration to enable video chat for its users ..

I understand the fact about Apple's buying power. But when someone is trying to compete with an established product, you gotta offer something more at some price less to get people to even look at it!

It's going to be interesting to see how the HP Touchpad & Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 do in the next few months. However, the real competition will start when Amazon jumps into the market with their rumored Kal-El tablets later this year.

I still fail to understand on why companies prefer to price their products at the same level as iPad?! Spec for spec, there are not many things that put HP TouchPad to an advantage. No extendable memory, no extra ports, a weak app ecosystem, etc.

Ever since the ASUS Transformer was released at 399$ for a 16GB model, that pretty much became the price to beat for a tablet which wanted to compete with the iPad2

FWIW Quite a lot of the game footage was from XBox 360 + PS3 games.

I was wondering about the same thing.. If there was a way to identify the pirated copies, how could one possibly add some advertisements to those apps..

FWIW, Windows 8 won't support legacy apps on ARM platform.

And as far as specs go, one of the demo devices was running an Intel Atom processor.

Pretty sure that was Joshua Topolsky. While being a self-proclaimed fan of WebOS, he's been ranting about Windows a lot lately in his podcasts at thisismynext.

I'll reserve my judgement about OSX Lion until Monday when Apple talks about it along with iOS5 but I'd take this windows interface over the iOS like Icon Grid in Lion any day.

FYI, In their "More Info not available" page, Gandhi is mis-spelt as Ghandi ..

I have duct tape on my Macbook Pro's webcam ever for the last 3 years or so ..

I think Options won't be available until May 27th so that they can count the # of actual shareholders, etc.

If Android tablets are to succeed with consumers, it's apps like Netflix which will prove instrumental in the uptake. One of the few reasons I went for iPad 2 vs. an Android tablet is Netflix support. Even HP TouchPad promises Netflix streaming when it'll launch and Windows Phone + iPhone already support Netflix streaming.

I interviewed there about 4 years ago or so when I was about to graduate.. I think they had just been over a couple of years old and were hiring a developer or two to work on some back end stuff as well as JavaScript .. I could not follow up after the final intws because of some health issues.. but at that time, they had some interesting people working for them that were nice to talk to .. It was the same exact office as in the pictures but definitely no where close to that many people in there

same with Google India. THey've had streaming music for a while

The problem with the likes of friend.ly is that it forces me to use the email address associated with Facebook and it's PITA if you use multiple email accounts / filters for multiple purposes

If anything, it reduces the amount of time spent by someone to find a solution to their problems/issues/quirks and enables them to move on faster and work more efficiently.

I rarely comment on such opinion pieces precisely because of them being someone else's opinion and nothing else. It might be their pet peeve or it might be their path to salvation. That need not be the case for me. To each to their own.

Am I missing something here? Their theory predicts Parachinar as the city of hiding where as he was captured in Abottabad.

Parachinar is at the border of Afghanistan - Pakistan, closer to Peshawar and Abottabad is closer to Kashmir & Islamabad.

Edit: w.r.t. the 270km radius, 270 km is a big distance for the region. It doesn't seem that big within the context of USA but for the region of Afghanistan/Pakistan, you're quite spread out within that distance and amongst a significant population with similar buildings in cities/towns of the region.

problem with sony is that they fail so much with pricing things .. they cannot charge as much or more than apple products because frankly the design and the build quality doesn't match up. I still remember them trying to sell a netbook for around 1K$ .. They just released a honeycomb tablet that might be priced at 600 when ASUS Transformer (similar specs) got sold out for pre-order at Amazon for 400$..
