awaz

That's a good idea for frontpage and best polls.

That would work if I were to submit from a single account but not to submit on your behalf.

This is interesting. So Google can claim that 160K mile of automated driving with the driver on-board and a single accident is blamed on the human.

I am not disturbed. Why would a human driver be driving an automated car? What is the security mechanisms that allow such cars to be in the streets? Isn't there a need for independent monitoring for such experiments?

Me second

Since Square adapter interfaces with mobile devices using the audio input, the swipe basically produces a sound (corresponding to the credit card) that is fed to the mobile device. By recording and replaying the sound, the credit card transaction can be completed without swiping the card.

But that does not mean frauds exploit it easily.

Any one who has access to the credit card already has the credit card numbers and the security code. One could always use that information and order items online. But there are security mechanisms that protect such usage. The audio recording is identical to storing the credit card number. Square uses other mechanisms (like capturing location of each transaction) to deter fraud behavior.

Should we consider this a ray of hope or an exception? Also, as per the article, the case concluded last week. I am surprised that other tech media did not cover this given the buzz around patent trolls these days.

I suggested 2D if he wanted to build a system for himself. May be multi-angle snap-shots or a video capture could be processed for capturing conventional chess boards. But even that would not work for all chess-boards. I have come across some pieces that are different to distinguish.

This detail fires back on Google. Google too had a partner for bidding; just that they didn't want to partner with their competitors. They were trying to portray their defeat as a conspiracy which this post proves it was not.
