In response to determining an unnatural movement and/or an unauthorized user wearing the HMD, the wearable computer triggers a locking mechanism, which can beneficially provide security measures for the wearable computer.
So next time that a wearable computer comes to market that wants to lock out unauthorized users, they have to deal with this patent. Seems pretty generic to me.
Exactly. When I graduated college, my plan was to live in different countries and work for a couple years, then move on to the next adventure. With visa issues, it seems the only way to do this is to run your own company, but even then you're limited to 90 days in a country.
Maybe they're speechless from the government and RIAA getting away with such a blatant violation of one's civil liberties. I hope this goes to trail so that the site owners are compensated and so that this never happens again. Shame on the government; They're supposed to protect the little guys.
I think he's getting this idea from Asian countries where their payment information is linked to their phones, so that they can make purchases with the swipe of their mobile device. I think we're heading in this direction. Google Wallet is already thinking like this. It's not too far of a leap to think Apple will do something similar.
This is one of the reasons I didn't pursue a PhD after getting a Masters. Getting published is about very incremental work. Really breaking the mold for revolutionary stuff is actually shunned. Not the kind of reward system worth pursing.
I signed up at the bottom of that page, but I don't know how you're distinguishing students from teachers from developers in that signup form. I'm a developer that would like to checkout the API, assuming you have some data in it already.
Exactly. We already have to support multiple browsers, multiple display sizes, ARIA roles, and more. I don't mind the extra work for the handicap (ARIA), but looking up and adding all this new meta information merely for search engines is going be a pain. In the end, this extra work makes it easier for the search engine by requiring the developer to do more work. I would prefer the reverse, otherwise maybe I need to get into the search business. They are creating a standard that will make it incredibly easy for future search engines.
Is anybody seeing how much extra work this is going to put on the front end developer. We already have to support multiple browsers, multiple display sizes, ARIA roles, and more.

I keep hearing that companies are looking for these kind of hybrid designers/developers, but I'm one of those people and struggle to find a job that allows that freedom. In fact, I recently moved to SF thinking it would be easier to find that kind of role at startups. I happen to be in the job market right now, so shoot me a message if you need someone that can wear many hats.
And the kicker: The AMI you suggest qualifies as free for a year with a new AWS account. Free hosting for a year to play around with Node. Thanks a lot!
I know keyboard shortcuts are second nature for some people to hide/show windows. But in web/mobile app development, being able to see the mockup, the website, and the code all on one screen is a thing of beauty (and efficiency) to me.
Ha. I got a little carried away at the end. I know some people, my girlfriend for one, prefer a little "clutter" in order to create a more comfortable environment.
I would love to hear an answer to this. CarFax had invalid information on my car, and it is a bitch to try and change it. I nearly took a loss on my car because of it. There needs to be a better solution.
This reminds me of Betsy who was a border collie on the cover of national geographic a couple years ago. Betsy could identify 300 objects and could even associate new physical objects with a photograph of the object. I have a border collie and they are generally regarded as the most intelligent of breeds. However, if you don't invest the time to work with a border collie, they will have no problem working destroying your house ;)
I frankly never got into RSS until I started using RockMelt about a month ago. Now I use it all the time to tell me when there are new Hacker News post, etc. But unfortunately the only clickable link for the Hacker News RSS takes me to the story, which is often an external link. If I want to see the "discuss" of the story I have to manually go the website and find the post and click the discuss link. Perhaps RSS needs a more robust protocol that wouldn't require others to make their own API. Then I think browsers like Rock Melt might bring this new kind of RSS to the masses.
The same thing happen to me on another deal. They didn't research the alcohol laws in the state, and posted a deal that was illegal. They had to change the terms of the deal (or offer a refund) afterward.
Really? I got -4 points for this. My point is that $300 million isn't that big of deal when other teenager founders, a la Mark Zuckerburg, have multi-billion dollar corporations.
I think it comes down to what your motivations are--money or fun. Then there are companies like Twitter that have no obvious revenue model when they get started, so do you call it a business? And how often do the Twitters of this world really scale up enough to actually call themselves a business. Given you're a developer, you're going to focus more on the creation of the product. Whereas someone without those skills is going to approach it from a business perspective in all likelihood. If it's just a weekend project, I would say go have some fun with it. But if you're going to invest some time in it as a way to make a living, it's worth doing that ground work before you even get started to make sure people are willing to pay for it.
I have a border collie, and I've heard this story many times by other border collie owners. If I didn't love the urban lifestyle, I would get some sheep too. It would certainly be easier that trying to tire him out each day by going on walks and taking him to the dog park.
