A Potential Nielson in each Google Glass

Existing models of Project Glass only have outward-facing cameras, but what if future models compliment that with an inward facing cam (eye tracking). That makes every potential google glasses user a nielson rater's dream (by choice of course).

Will to Win: a second Turing Test?

Ultimate Turing test: Google NASCAR vs human counterpart: a test of the practicality of programming not just* patterns of winning driving, but the will to win!

Actionable items for Groupon

Groupon has 3 choices: 1) have fb buy them 2) buy FourSquare (social) 3) buy Yelp (search)

It's not even what Groupon can do, it has to hope FB does search right so Goog will back off on offers, so margins are better.

Maybe this is why Git Rebase is so confusing?

The Basic Rebase section: way too verbose and separately confusing. 

Why can't they just say, instead of creating a separate commit with the msg "Merge branch [x] with branch [y]", it simply RE-uses/shifts the commit of the branch point on the checked out branch to the head of the other branch? (I reduced several paragraphs into 1 line)

Key points for a Icelandic trip

1) Have whale
2) Have icelandic horse (#2 on food list)
3) The Northern lights is very temperamental (1 guy tried 7 times - clouds). If it happens, it happens.
4) Reykjavik is a very small city. If your hotel is 1.1 miles away, it's in the suburbs!
5) Don't plan a whole day on the blue lagoon. It's on the way to the airport (15 mins away).
6) Reykjavik cab fare is $120 (45 mins away from airport)
