Submission + - Java Artificial Intelligence Sample Code Liberated

Submitted by
F452
F452 writes: "An objection I've had to many programming books and web sites is that they don't make sample code available under a free software license. This is within the rights of the author, of course, but it seems counter to the spirit of teaching and sharing knowledge to restrict the use of example code.

I was happy to exchange words recently with an author who was open and responsive to making the sample artificial intelligence code from his book available under a free license. With Saturday being Software Freedom Day, it seemed like a good time to write about our email conversation and point you to the freed code. Topics include: Control Systems, Scripted Behavior, Discrete Searching, Searching State Space, Genetic Algorithms, Thinking Logically, and Supervised and Unsupervised Neural Networks."

Submission + - iPhone outsold all smartphones in July (arstechnica.com)

Submitted by mangini
mangini writes: Apple's iPhone quickly shot to the top of the sales chart for smartphones, even though its considered a 'crossover phone' and not a smartphone. 'The device accounted for 1.8 percent of all mobile handset sales in July. This number sounds pretty paltry at first glance, but iSuppli says that the iPhone matched the popular LG Chocolate phone in sales during July. It also outsold all other smartphones during the same time period — this included all BlackBerrys, the entire Palm portfolio, and anything from Motorola, Nokia, or Samsung, to name a few.' iSuppli thinks that Apple could sell 4.5 million iPhones by year end — a figure that would surpass Apple's projections.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
