now I want iDuino... an objective-c based open source embedded system. It's a pretty good startup idea actually, considering everything i-based product can charge more...
At least people should know that before using it...not everyone has many secrets to hide. What's the point hiding who you make friends with, and public conversations? Trying too hard to stay off the grid is rather creepy...
You don't organize a protest against the goverment using your real identity if there is a fear of retaliation. Not in the real world and definitely not in the web.
Mapping someones friends by good old detective work is not that difficult. It just takes time. It will also reveal much more than your facebook account will. What is frightening to me is the automation. It simplifies your relations to people and can lead to some unpleasant connections.
People should also be educated about the fact that facebook is not a private forum. Everyone knows not to bitch about their boss too loudly in the cafeteria. But for some reason they are happy to write about it to their wall.
Do some research, decide what you want, then proceed. Along the way, pick up some talented guys to help you achieve your goal. One thing though, if you were not satisfied with your previous work, why didn't you just protest and get a better deal before quitting it for good, since you gonna quit anyway? It just seems weird to me.
"why didn't you just protest and get a better deal before quitting it for good, since you gonna quit anyway?"
My reasons for leaving were strictly nonfinancial. I've socked away enough money to cover me about three years in NYC. I'm 24 now, so it makes sense for me to take some time off and figure out exactly what I want to do :)
Well... from a positive perspective, it creates so many jobs. Pointless and a job hated by people around the world. At least no one's dying... or is it a good thing no one's dying?
Bing is not really providing anything more than google's service. It only shows "big company's" routine of trying to drive others out of business. Death for Bing.
I disagree. I remembered Bing's decision engine commercials when looking for a plane ticket. Turns out that Bing is way better for flights than Google is, by far. Just try typing New York City to Los Angeles into both search engines. Bing finds what you are after and Google does not.
I prefer how Google handles that search query. If you're looking for a flight does entering 'fly' after your two destinations really hurt that much? 'to' is -more often than not - a pretty meaningless keyword, and I'm pretty sure most people don't want half of what's above the fold to be taken up by flight information if all they enter is a very general 'New York City to Los Angeles'.
It's not just the flight specific widget bing has, but the fact is consolidates several sites worth of data into a single interface. On Google you don't get a unified view of data. The ticket vendor is not important to me. It's only the flight cost and number of stopovers that matter, which google does not help with.
