Paul's Pontifications: March 2015
http://paulspontifications.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Random musings on politics, economics and software. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Google Maps on Android demands I let Google track me. I recently upgraded to Android 5.1 on my Nexus 10. One app I often use is Google Maps. This has a "show my location" button:. When I clicked on this I got the following dialog box:. Notice that I have two options: I either agree to let Google track me, or I cancel the request. There is no "just show my location" option. Hey, Google, stop being evil! Update: 20th April 2015.
Paul's Pontifications: August 2012
http://paulspontifications.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Random musings on politics, economics and software. Monday, August 6, 2012. The Rise of the Me-Burger? Back in February news broke that a university researcher. Had successfully grown bovine muscle tissue in a lab, although a prototype burger made this way would cost an estimated £200,000. I was immediately reminded of an Arthur C. Clarke short story. Could this be about to come true? But then, why not go one step further? Or perhaps a bite of Usain Bolt? Saturday, August 4, 2012. There are lessons to be...
Paul's Pontifications: April 2011
http://paulspontifications.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Random musings on politics, economics and software. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Patent 5,893,120 reduced to mathematical formulae. I have previously argued. The computer science community has tried. To the patent industry, but these explanations have fallen on deaf ears. So I thought I would try a different tack. Google has just been ordered to pay $5M. For infringing patent 5,893,120. Although I believe that the paste-bin will eventually expire). Red Hat is reportedly seeking a declarative judgement that ...
Paul's Pontifications: On Having an E-book Reader
http://paulspontifications.blogspot.com/2013/02/on-having-e-book-reader.html
Random musings on politics, economics and software. Saturday, February 16, 2013. On Having an E-book Reader. I wrote about the reasons why I wasn't getting an e-book reader. I had found that books generally cost more in e-book format than in dead-tree format, and I was nervous about the digital restrictions management (DRM) that e-books came with. These concerns were only increased when I read about Linn Nygaard. However as a result of that fiasco a number. Under which prices have dropped considerably, a...
Paul's Pontifications: TV Resolution Fallacies
http://paulspontifications.blogspot.com/2013/10/tv-resolution-falacies.html
Random musings on politics, economics and software. Friday, October 11, 2013. Every so often discussion of the ever-higher resolution of TV screens generates. To prove that you can't see the improvement unless you sit a few feet from the largest available screen. Most of these articles make the same three mistakes:. Fallacy 1: Normal vision is 20/20 vision. Fallacy 2: Pixel size = Resolution. But this picture demonstrates the problem:. The pixel pitch is close to the height of a brick, leading to the moi...

Sunday, February 7, 2010. Chromium OS, an Early Look. For those of you already using the Google Chrome web browser, there's a simple way to take an early look at the Google Chrome operating system – and here it is:. Open your Chrome browser. Stare at it. Imagine that's all there is. You can’t get outside it. You’re trapped. Your OS is the browser. That is Google Chrome OS. Or that's how you may feel on completion of this tutorial, for there's not much more to it than that, at least visually. This tutoria...

Friday, December 11, 2009. Not as Painful using Wesabe. If personal financial management is a necessary evil then at least let it be quick and easy. This appears to be the premise of Wesabe.com. A free web-based application providing exactly that. The next step is to ‘tag’ transactions with a description of your choosing, for example eating out, rent, gifts and so on. The first time will be the slowest, perhaps 5-10 minutes per month since there’s no existing transaction history....Since the site is f...

Wednesday, July 1, 2009. WolframAlpha. the world’s first computational knowledge engine recently launched by. In the United States. If you’re not quite sure what this means, join the club. It took me some time to get my head around it. The best way of understanding Wolfram is imagine a calculator with a search box instead of a numeric keypad. How is this useful on a day-to-day basis? Here’s two scenarios in which Wolfram could help:. I’m a property professional and want a more accurate “back-...My daught...

Friday, March 13, 2009. Android is not a phone. It's an operating system! 160;So why do people compare the iPhone to Android? Because at present there's only one phone running Android (that's been released to the market) and that's the HTC G1. As a cross-over of the abovementioned categories, I've been waiting for a touch-screen phone that still had a full qwerty keyboard. (iPhone touch keyboard is too damn slow; case in point was the type-off I had with you Meller! Whereas Facebook is a good lurking gro...

Monday, August 24, 2009. Why would I use bit.ly? This is the question I get from people who either don’t use Twitter or have never thought much about link sharing. But let’s go back a step, what is bit.ly? Is a URL shortening service. It transforms a given series of characters comprising a URL into its short-form equivalent. For example, this 41 character link to a third party website (Google Groups) can be shortened to just 13:. Bitly is a relative latecomer to the URL shortening party having only launc...

Spiritual Formation. Discipleship. Christian Living. A Gift for Our Spiritual Formation. December 20, 2017. Almost everyone enjoys gift giving. We enjoy giving gifts, but we really enjoy receiving gifts. When we give a gift we give it with the intention that the gift is used. If we give a gift of chocolate we want the person to eat the chocolate. If we give a gift of clothes we want those clothes to be worn. If we give a gift of toys we want those toys to be played with in imaginative ways. If then you h...

Paul's Pontifications
Random musings on politics, economics and software. Saturday, March 24, 2018. Why I don’t believe in the Second Amendment (and neither do you or the Supreme Court). The second amendment says:. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. This consists of two parts, the preamble “ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”. And the effective part “. Any kind of weapon. For m...

Making Sense of Info. 1/18 and 1/24 Scale. 1/32 and 1/43 Scale. This site is a labour of love for me. I remember the first time I ever saw a Mustang. I was in my early teens and my neighbor had just bought a new Candy Apple Red 65 coupe. It only had a 6 cylinder engine but a 50 year bond started with this car that has been equalled by no other. In 1970 I actually bought a 65 Coupe with a 289 V8 in it. But this site is about my passion for collecting diecast Mustangs. Hopefully this site will help. So the...
