Google seems willing to pay 10B to rent companies for a while...

They didn't "rent" anything -- they paid $10 billion for Motorola's patents. The rest wasn't worth much to them.

Jaguar is for tablets and seems to be designed for price point and not speed. That's why they are comparing it with the ARM stuff and not using an Opteron 6386 as a comparison.

The question is whether Jaguar itself is really 64-bit, or if it's just the graphics processor that's 64-bit and the rest is 32-bit.

Maybe, but good luck next time you're in a foreign country trying to buy food using for loops and if statements.

The thing you have to understand here is that Putin is an authoritarian douchebag -- but he's not an idiot. He knows that there will be extra scrutiny on his polices during the Olympics. By having Snowden around, it's a reminder that the US isn't in a position to finger-wag over such things.

It's far from a perfect replacement, but Yelp lets you search for businesses and such by location. You can narrow it down my moving/zooming the mini-map in the sidebar.

I'm working on a project that involves eye tracking while a person's eyes are closed, or at least mostly closed. Anyone know if any current eye trackers are capable of this?

Popped in here hoping to see some insightful discussion about the future of Java, to help inform my possible decision as to whether or not to spend a lot of time and effort becoming a Java developer.

Java EE != Java.

Seems like this rather confused politician is confusing Firefox with Tor. And I bet if he knew who was funding Tor, his head would explode.

The last time I did a whole house, it was years ago, X10.

So you clicked on one of those popup ads? HEATHEN! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE

How long until they shut down Google Plus? Please tell me it's soon.

It would be interesting to test how much lag existing technology can handle, but let's please do it here on Earth before we test it across the solar system.
