Exactly. I shouldn't have to hover my mouse over everything to see all the data. Also those tick marks on the outer edge of the circle signify nothing. I thought perhaps the '6' visitors would be signified by 6 ticks... nope. And why does the dropoffs have to fade out? That just is confusing. It would be nice if the dots on the flowchart arrows were proportionally sized to the traffic flow.

It's like "mystery meat navigation" of statistics. If I care about statistics, I'm probably comfortable looking at a page full of numbers. Give them to me, don't make me hover everything.

And the reason why is because the human eye is more sensitive to green than other colors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

Oh god, yea I am sure this will go great. As if every single phone sold in the world doesn't have an alarm clock function.

Why would I not want to share my personal information with advertisers. I certainly don't want to be marketed feminine hygiene products if I am a male. I also don't want to get offered oracle integration products if I am a Microsoft SQL shop. Targeted advertising is fine by me.

Perhaps you haven't seen the Nelson River project.

Most of the power loss is related to using AC instead of DC.

Right, sight unseen of the registration form...

Which means any healthcare related company isn't likely to attend, since this "free hardware" is against gift restrictions relating to healthcare related businesses.

>The overbidding for avian meat should induce more "mining" (hunting) of the avian meat -- it should be wildly profitable relative to effort invested. This should tend to raise supply, making the overbidding market cornerer's job even harder.

I believe in this story, there was a limited supply of meat - it couldn't be infinitely mined.

I think it's more to do with the moderators to posters ratio that contributes to a higher signal to noise ratio. They have about 30 moderators.

Nah, no way am I going to allow wget or curl to do application work.

Me and my brother would sing at each other in certain tones such that we created harmonics in both our ears. It wasn't pleasant, but it was interesting. Regardless, I'd smash my equipment if it made harmonics like that.

I think it's more like those "permanent laser hair removal" things. They can call it permanent if it works for 6 months. If after 6 months you grow all your hair back, that doesn't make it non-permanent according to marketing laws.

More similar to the (initially announced) Palm Pre. It was supposed to be a device which runs Web Apps natively, and you write your applications in HTML + JS, using their "Mojo". Well, developers weren't having it, so they eventually allowed C / C++ as well. I'd predict the same with this device. Since it's running Linux kernel, I can pretty much guarantee that you will be able to run C / C++ apps on the device, and developers will choose that more often than not.

I read the article, I didn't think you could gather any meaningful statistics from their results, because chances are, people here were just clicking things and seeing how it works. Hence the off topic comment.

The problem is that in the first page, there are three links to Ubuntu on Android, and two for the latest Apache release. Really? WTF is up with all the duplicates here?
