markszcz··on Coca Cola's secret recipe revealed?
Reminds me of OpenCola http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink)

Am I the only one or does anyone else hate the unnecessary popup ad on time.com?

My friend I think you missed a great HN article: 2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal (http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=2201469) I think if someone really wanted to, they could witness this phenomenon. =)
markszcz··on Show HN: Our new $149 hackable Bluetooth wristwatch
Awesome thanks!

I just checked the specs, "4 days depending on display/Bluetooth use"

Even if its two days of full time use, thats great.

I think these look much better then putting the Apple Nano on your wrist: http://bit.ly/hnLUkQ To each their own though. =)

As for applications, yeh GPS, Gyro would be great.

Awesome!!!! They even look good too. I might think about getting one and whip up an Android library for people to use.

Question to anyone reading this. What would be a good use to notify users? There was an article on HN about startups using a visual dashboard: http://mygengo.com/talk/blog/why-your-startup-needs-a-visual... I think something like that would be cool to have. Hook into your KPI's and have that information right there on your wrist.

"the world's largest permanent scale model of the solar system. " Right, last I heard our continents move. Yes this wont change tomorrow or any time soon, but its still not permanent. Not so long ago (whats 250 million years in respect to the universe) all the continents where connected: http://www.newgeology.us/Pangea.png

I'm not trolling, its just not permanent. Anyway I love that Pluto is there. It will always be a plant to me even though it was dropped from our solar system.

I'm sorry if I don’t understand this but when I quickly glanced at the site I'm lost as to what value its providing. What’s wrong with facebooks friend suggestion? Maybe a different strategy should be put in place to educate people, from the beginning, with what service is actually being provided. I see a facebook logo on the site and ultimately I assumed this was going to do something that facebook can already do.

After going back I saw a small link next to send "How it works" but that was to little to late. I only inspected the website again to see if I was missing something because im leaving a comment, otherwise I would have never came back.

markszcz··on Day 1: IBM Watson Ties for first on Jeopardy
Going the Sci-Fi route, I would love this technology to expand and become an interactive Wikipedia. How cool would it be to go to your local library, (you remember those?) and ask it a series of questions and get answers.

But thinking about how quickly archaic the library is turning into these days, I see it going this route: You call this service from your computer or phone and ask it anything. But by then Goggle will already have that feature. Google AI (Beta)

markszcz··on Hi-Res Panorama of the Sistine Chapel
Clunky or not, it still gives people who have never had a chance to see the chapel in person a perspective of how much beautiful art and history there is packed in this one little place.

Now on a side note, I must have came late in the day because I definetly do not remember it being that bright in the chapel when I went.

Mouse over method seems to work the best and allowed me to see what I wanted to see without the camera zipping in one direction because I moved the mouse a little out of center.
markszcz··on Facebook Moves to Disallow Apps From Running Google Ads
"We are continuing to work with various ad providers and will add them to the list as they sign the terms..."

I hope them working with the various providers would make sure that the information they recieve about each user isnt gathered or resold in some way, or heck even allows a user to opt out from having their information logged but in the end a little bribe never hurts to have facebook look the other way.
