Notepad Calculator

FileSystemHashMapNotepadCalculator calculation engine works by loading Windows Calculator (how else could one guarantee a correct calculation?), copying the answer to the Clipboard, loading notepad, pasting it into notepad, saving a file to the folder with the appropriate Hash Key (C:\1.0000-ADD-2.0000 in this case), and then reading the resulting file to display the answer. It couldn’t be simpler!

Locative Lies

The Next Web Conference was held in Amsterdam last Friday. The organizers had a last minute speaker back-out: Plazes CEO Felix Petersen emailed them the day before the conference to say that he couldn’t make it because they were dealing with bugs on their new product, and that his “9 month old daughter has become sick.” The problem, though, is that Peterson didn’t stay home to work on their product and take care of his daughter. He was actually attending a competing conference, Reboot, in Copenhagen. How was this discovered? The Next Web guys used Petersen’s own Plazes, a service which shows where users are at any given time.

the awesomeness, it doesn’t stop!
