The Donald built an empire because he knew what every piece and process cost him. If you can’t say the same for your software, you won’t. Programming is a practical application of abstract math combining esoteric theory with experiential practice. And learning it can be every bit as brain-scramblingly incomprehensible and front-row-seat-for-Celine-Dion tedious as the previous sentence suggests. Bu
Math breakthroughs don’t often capture the headlines–but MIT researchers have just made one that could lead to all sorts of amazing technological breakthroughs that in just a few years will touch every hour of your life. Last week at the Association for Computing Machinery’s Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA) a new way of calculating Fast Fourier Transforms was presented by a group of MIT res

In a recent issue of the New Yorker , Joshua Davis wrote a story about Bitcoin, the crypto-currency that has ignited the imaginations of the technorati and led to a rush of media coverage. But this is no usual magazine featur
Germans have found a way to create super-secure virtual “work phones” on Android devices. This could become a new, competitive threat to the already beleaguered Research In Motion. A new German project makes Android phones significantly more secure for business communications–this could change the way people use smartphones, entirely. The project, Bizztrust, creates virtual “work phones” on Androi
With the purchase of a startup, Disney signals that the race is on to make casual gaming more of a cross-platform web experience, and less beholden to the App Store. Disney just bought an HTML5 gaming startup called Rocketpack before the new firm is even out of the starting blocks.
