Moved to G+
Colourful though it may be, I believe Tumblr is no longer a viable platform for my personal information sharing and discussion needs. I am therefore suspending posting here in favour of G+.

“The breakthrough is a different type of sensor that captures what are known as light fields, basically all the light that is moving in all directions in the view of the camera.

Opinon: Andy Rubin's tweet to Steve Jobs
Take this tweet by Google’s own Andy Rubin in response to Steve Jobs’ recent comments on the ‘open’ vs. ‘closed’ debate surrounding Android and iOS. If you understand what the tweet means, you’re in a privileged minority of tech-savvy users of open source software repositories, and can recognise its contents as a set of simple commands to download and...

Computer reads and learns from the internet →
CMU’s NELL computer is scouring the ‘nets, continually learning in a human-like fashion as it processes more information. Let’s just hope it doesn’t come across 4Chan any time soon, or the inevitable enslavement of humanity may well occur to the tune of Rick Astley.

Four of Europe’s biggest mobile carriers, serving roughly 1 billion European customers, are holding a summit on October 8 to discuss the threat posed by Android and iOS. That threat lies in the carriers’ inability to nickel-and-dime customers using such platforms, user experience or openness be damned.
