Robotics Developer Studio
There has been tremendous excitement with Microsoft Kinect within the robotics space signaling the potential opportunities that exist in transforming robots to low-cost mainstream consumer devices. RDS 4, with support from the Kinect sensor, aims to make it easier for developers to build applications, including those directed at personal robotics and consumer scenarios, both in hardware and in simulation. With RDS 4 simulation tools, you don’t need physical hardware to develop a Kinect-based robot! For hardware design, Microsoft has published the Robotics Developer Studio: Reference Platform Design specification for a standardized Kinect-based robot, to work with RDS 4. Parallax, Inc has manufactured a hardware kit based on the reference platform design specification which is available now. To understand more about the benefits that Robotics Developer Studio 4 (RDS 4) can offer to the robotic application developer, start here with background about the product.

Google - MoreSQL is Real | William Edwards, Coder
The post NoSQL no more: let’s double down with MoreSQL is said tongue-in-cheek. But its more true and serious and real than the NoSQL crowd want to admit. And Alex made a sweet logo. Its been appreciated for a long time that joins in database queries can be bad for performance. MySQL made its name with an unreliable storage engine called ISAM that didn’t enforce foreign key constraints.
You’ve probably underestimated just how big this is – Cross Platform Dev Blog
I met a team at a mobile dev shop a couple of weeks ago and in the discussion I casually mentioned that mobile app usage exceeds web usage. Eyebrows were raised. I couldn’t remember where I’d heard it. No big deal, everyone knows mobile is important, we moved on.Since our launch on Tuesday , we’ve gotten lots of great questions and comments on Postmark’s new inbound email parsing service. Since, Mark Headd made a great open source contribution that we’ll be adding to our docs: a Node.js listener for Postmark Inbound that stores emails parsed by Postmark in CouchDB . Even cooler than just open sourcing the code, Mark went above and beyond and recorded a handy screencast to walk you through what he built and how to use it - including the handiness of the way CouchDB handles serving up attachments (watch the video, you’ll see what I mean).

How Forge works and why we’re proud of it – Cross Platform Dev Blog
We think a lot about how to make the process of creating mobile apps using our Forge framework easier. The result of that is it takes just 3 commands to create a build and run it in a simulator, and it takes seconds to get started: There’s a lot of heavy lifting that goes on behind the scenes to make it that simple, and one unique aspect of our Forge framework is how our build service compiles our customers’ apps – by splitting the build between local tools and a remote server. The approach keeps users’ local development environments as simple and platform-agnostic as possible, and allows our servers to run multiple platform compiles in parallel to deliver the builds faster. End result: the normal development cycle is orders of magnitude faster than it is with other solutions, with builds taking seconds at the command-line rather than minutes to compile or requiring you to zip up and upload code through a web interface.

Last week, Matt (a current student of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business) emailed me about a presentation workshop he was putting together for class. He asked for screenshots of my old landing splash page that I used to generate 300+ email signups while building my startup app, Freelancify . Since the presentation he was doing was about landing-splash pages in general.

University of California Professor of Law Clark Freshman trains leading lawyers, judges, and negotiators worldwide in science- and evidence-based methods to detect lies and hidden “microexpressions,” get better information, and win—in meetings, court, and everyday life. His past in-house engagements include JAMS (the premier mediators and arbitrators), United States Homeland Security, Peter Thiel (Facebook’s angel investor), San Francisco District Attorney and Public Defender’s Office, General Electric in Italy and private equity firm Vector Capital, and many others. He has also been an invited speaker on topics of lie detection, negotiation, and mindfulness at Harvard Law School and Business School, Columbia Business School, and Yale Law School. Professor Freshman developed his exclusive materials after years of collaboration with Paul Ekman, the scientific inspiration behind the hit television series Lie to Me.
