Re: Opinion: Can Ripple’s Recent Market Cap Surge be Justified?

Out of curiosity, why is NEM/M not mentioned in this article and analysis (or comments)? They look to have a more robust technology solution and Japanese banking clients...Asia-Pacific is years ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to FinTech

Very good tutorial - thanks very much! Really looking forward to the rest.

For those who are having problems with the /test issue:

1). In server.js add the following
.use('/test', connect.static('test'))

2). copy the app/js folder into the test folder

3). change test/index.html to read:

These are the changes I made and they worked. I am on a Mac, so you may have to tweak this slightly if you're using a PC.

Hi Dan. Utterly inspiring. Congratulations on the improvements you've made.

One company I've come across that I think you should look into is TicTrac: (http://www.tictrac.com/). They have some pretty interesting ideas about bringing all this data together into one place and giving you access to it all whenever and however you want.

Worth looking into.

Re: Web Faceoff: Adobe Flash vs. HTML5

C'mon...Is your question who'd win right now or in 3-5yrs time?

HTML5 is better for the web...BUT IT'S NOT THERE YET and it won't be there by tomorrow or next year.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your comments - great work on The Apprentice Predictor.

I agree it's further away than it should be right now, but there's an opportunity to work directly with OEMs to deliver something more than Bloomberg news and weather widgets.

It just seems crazy that they're all rolling out similar non-social widgets and aren't thinking about unique KPIs that could set them apart from their competition such as customised channels or ways to facilitate monetization through enriched digital 'extras' and communicating via their mobile phone and TV instead of having the TV on in the background and inteacting with their laptops.

I think there's an opportunity to take over the digital living room experience: http://tr.im/naqi

The realist in me, like you, thinks there's plenty left in synched smart phones, I just like to dream every now and then :o)

Thanks for the comments BK, that sounds like a great way of going about it.

Yeah, they just need to build one that can fit through the front door and they'll be sorted!

Hi Steve,

Good to know. I wrote the post about KickApps a while ago when they promised a great deal and hadn't yet had the opportunity to shine. I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience.

Best,

Rick

Re: .car Evolution

Thanks very much Roxanne,

I think you raise a really important and interesting point. Can the automotive industry really keep pace with technology in-car, or do their rollout timeframes and safety requirements (i.e. gremlin free digital diagnostic systems) mean that the mobile handset will be used instead as the main integration point and application interface?

Re: Playstation 3’s @Home Virtual World

Rick Williams — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:02:54 -0000

Those are both really interesting insights. What kind of bonus items would you like to see games offer?

Expensive virtual goods
Exclusive virtual goods
Virtual cash

Answers on a postcard.... ;o)

PS. can you elaborate on game launching?

Thanks,

Rick

Hi John,

Good to hear from you.

There was another interesting point that Iain raised about what audiences who watching video online mind and don't mind. They don't mind quality (or a lack of it) online as long as it's constant. Weird eh?

So basically, as long as the video quality maintains its quality and doesn't get worse they're happy.

Re: Flexible Surfaces – Interfaces of the Future

Rick Williams — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:32:38 -0000

Hi John,

Thanks for that. You're right, I believe FlicFlex was primarily an R&D project into how information could be kept on a curling page rather than actually show a working OLED example.

Cheers though and good to hear from you - hope you're well ;o)
