Thanks for the link. When I first discovered TypeMatrix, there weren't many reviews of it. By the sound of it, maybe I should save my money for something else.

You should check out TypeMatrix[1]. I've been thinking of getting one for a couple of years now. I guess I'm just being lazy...

Here's a link to that Discovery Channel video on how to make injection molds that they mentioned, but didn't actually link to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seZqq1qxW30

"So with even a $399 tablet doing 2560x1600 pixel displays, can we please just make that the new standard laptop resolution? Even at 11"? Please. Stop with the "retina" crap, just call it "reasonable resolution". The fact that laptops stagnated ten years ago (and even regressed, in many cases) at around half that in both directions is just sad.

I still don't want big luggable laptops, but that 1366x768 is so last century. Christ, soon even the cellphones will start laughing at the ridiculously bad laptop displays.

And the next technology journalist that asks you whether you want fonts that small, I'll just hunt down and give an atomic wedgie. I want pixels for high-quality fonts, and yes, I want my fonts small, but "high resolution" really doesn't equate "small fonts" like some less-than-gifted tech pundits seem to constantly think.

In fact, if you have bad vision, sharp good high-quality fonts will help. #noexcuses"

I renamed the title, but with a slightly different wording, since you can't, in fact, even buy it yet.

You're right, I didn't actually click the Download button, since I have no incentive to buy Windows 8 right now.

I don't mean to sound like I'm whining, but what was the reason to downvote the original article that is the source for the submission?

Copyright exists regardless of license. So to say "implies copyright" isn't exactly true.

What kind of startup would you consider "bad for the world"?

Without having tried it, this sounds a bit like Crunchfish's Active3D[1].

Might be an Amazon territory thing, then. I'm in Europe.

Amazon seems to have two different Kindle editions of this, with different prices:

1. For $19.54 you get this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Signal-Noise-Predictions-ebook/dp/... (The Penguin Press)

2. And for $13.79, you get this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Signal-Noise-Prediction-ebook/dp/B... (Allen Lane)

I have no idea if there is any difference in the editions besides the price. Page numbers differs but that means nothing

EDIT: grammar.

I found this link that seems to be some kind of profile page for "The 2 from Antwerp": http://www.hozpitalityplus.com/profile/The2fromAntwerp There's a photo album with pictures of Gerard Dogge, e.g. http://www.hozpitalityplus.com/photo/gerard-1

So, if this is a hoax, it's a long time in the making (this page was last updated in November 2009).

The real world problem that time tries to solve is synchronization of events. By having a standard method of measuring time, we make it easier to interact with other people and society. While I think it's a great idea to not be a slave to the clock, it really doesn't help you when you miss a train because you misread the sun.

The headline of this submission makes no sense whatsoever. "Muve Music, for Mobile Users, Thrives in Shadow of Competitors" would be much better.

If you already have the tasks, prioritizing them should be fairly easy. Then just scan down the list until you find the first non-essential feature and there you draw the line. Anything after that goes into version two.

Nowhere in the linked article is there any mention of "7% of carbon budget". I'm not a big fan of fossil fuel, but I'd like a source on that.

That said, nice to see they've eliminated the need for a special pen.

"we designed a special dotted paper pattern" - this sounds very much like what Anoto[1] does. [1] http://www.anoto.com/the-technology-1.aspx

And if it was Bluetooth you wouldn't be limited to use an iPhone.

My wife had some kind of proto version of this. No iPhone connection, but the glucose meter could save a few measurements (around 50 I think) and they were then transferred via Bluetooth to a 3G enabled box that uploaded the measurements to a server.

"The process is clunky and uncomfortable — and dangerous due to potential errors." -- No, it's not. Not anymore dangerous than the presented solution anyway, which seems to be a common glucose meter connected to an iPhone. To track your glucose levels with the phone is a good idea, but safer? No, the testing method is exactly the same.

Sweden's IDG.se had an article recently on some enthusiasts building a 737 simulator. Article in Swedish, Google Translate might be helpful: http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.441624/sa-bygger-du-din-egen-flyg...

The web site of the society who built it: http://www.swesim.se/

The 737 isn't the only simulator they've got, among others they have a Viggen simulator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_37_Viggen).

Think of it as a lottery. If the company takes off, your lottery ticket pays off, until then it's worth nothing. And the charity that gets the lottery ticket doesn't even have to pay for it in the first place.
