No, those who care about service will switch to google fiber. Then Comcast will see that the number of complaints about their service is decreasing, and go on to praise their employees.
For now companies which should be scared of Google Fiber aren't. It took the US years and lot of tax money to build the infrastructure which current ISPs own. Google has done parts of one city with only 2 more on the way. It will take a long time until their business practices cause them failure against fiber competitors. ISPs aren't interested in improving their networks, only in making money off of the money they've invested into at this point.
It was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II + battery grip [1], Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II lens [2], a TC-80N3 shutter release timer [3], on a Slik travel tripod [4].
As for how it was shot: “I shoot these on Av (Aperture Priority) with an ISO ranging from 200 during the day to 6400 at night. That way the 5d2 will automatically go up to 30 seconds at night to as quick as 1/8000th when dawn comes. [On timing:] 2 seconds during the day, and up to 30 second exposures and intervals at night. [On battery life:] I have the grip with two batteries and I disable photo review so the LCD screen never lights up. That way I can shoot about 3k - 4k photos off two batteries fully charged.”
Couldn't the argument be made that Airbnb is bad for hotels and landlords though? If it's my wireless network, shouldn't I have the right to dictate what gets broadcast on it? You don't have to connect to it.
So does this mean that Starbucks will use the same Square interface that we layfolk use? I find it impractical that they use this, and not something that integrates with their existing systems, but then that would mean that Square has opened up some sort of API to them? When will the rest of us get to see something like this, if so?
Yes, I'm getting something in return, I get to take the desired action on the publisher's site. That's the case with any CAPTCHA. With the old CAPTCHA, I was at least helping convert printed books to digital formats. How is Double Recall different from Solve Media? It's obviously the same business model.
SolveMedia is a CAPTCHA system which verifies that you're a human, DoubleRecall is not a CAPTCHA system and it only verifies you read the advertisers message. It's much easier to decypher than CAPTCHA, so more straightforward.
We did more than 100 of design iterations on millions of people to come to the current simplistic design.
"Hotlist" does not ring a bell, but yes, that seems to be like my idea, although Hotlist appears to be limited to Facebook and Twitter, because: "So you want to go out but aren't sure which place has the crowd or event you're looking for? Hotlist enables you to take a peek inside of venues to see the crowds before you head out. Read reviews and real-time Tweets, discover upcoming events, and check out key stats like the guy-to-girl ratio and the general age of the crowd, all from your computer or smartphone. Then use Hotlist to coordinate with your friends on Facebook." (#1)
I'm reading through the articles on their Wikipedia page (#2), to better understand what they do, and how it compares to my idea. Thank you!
I worked at an ESP (Email Service Provider) a few years back. It may not be anymore, but it was a crazy environment back then of everyone trying to compete.
The major issue with this is going to be scaling it, with large ESP's doing 50-100 million messages a day, and 20-30% of those being opened, that's a lot of processes. This solution will probably be effective, mostly because it's going to a much smaller segment.
If that's true, it's very dangerous. Imagine somebody finds an iphone image vulnerability, a virus based on it will spread across the whole world in a couple of hours.
