But but but... that doesn't have the 5 orientation dots like the Moleskine smart book! How could you possibly snap a picture of your work and vectorize it? How? How? Imposiblu!
What observations? You say that it's not good marketing, because moleskine did not contribute some 'grand technology' to the project.
I say you can't possibly know if it is good or not, because you don't have the research and data behind it, and you most definitely cannot predict how it will affect their revenue and/or brand loyalty.
My opinion is that it will pan out really great for them. I would tell you what position I hold and the size of the company, but I'm sure that will only lead to some "appeal to authority" comment on your part.
Better memory usage due to the (BSD-like) kernel, vs Linux could be one of the factors.
"My server earlier used to consume over 1 GB of memory for running PHP, MySQL and Nginx. Now, it doesn’t even touch 500 MB! It’s always less than 500 MB. Everything is just same, configuration, etc. Only OS changed."

Slightly off topic but I really wish mainstream VPS providers start adopting FreeBSD, perhaps http://labs.online.net/ can spark that change, I'd move from Digital Ocean in a heart beat!
Well, MacOSX and iOS don't have a BSD kernel (or even a BSD-like kernel) at all. They have a Mach kernel. They have howewver, a BSD-like userland and kernel personality. But I guess we can assume that the Mach kernel is also more frugal than Linux. In any case, AFAICS, Apple takes some care about this, because of the performance and user experience consequences.
When I read "offline GPS" I assumed accelerometer/gyro/compass positioning, now that would have been cool. Some point and shoot cameras have this for tracking position when GPS/GLONASS signal is unavailable.
Just using accelerometer, as some point and shoots do, is pretty inaccurate but still somewhat usable. Using all the sensosrs on a modern phone (including signal strength from known wifi/tower beacons) would yield much better results.
My point is more in the spirit of: I got excited because there's little or no such apps on playstore, offline maps aren't anything new.
I don't recommend buying this. Invest time into understanding and securing your local network, and hire capable admins if you manage an office/institution.
Even they note the device is useless on networks with tight security, leaving the "all out" mode it's only viable purpose, and I can't imagine blocking (targeted de-auth attacking) devices you don't own on a network you don't manage being legal in any jurisdiction.
The reasoning behind blocking certain spy-like wifi devices is in my opinion flawed. You simply cannot reach the result marketed here without jamming cellphones as well, so in reality how is this any different, more appropriate or more legal? It's not.
Seems like some people are absolutely desperate to make the cheap Chinese routers + openWRT combo a profitable product. Someone has a stock they need to burn? From a previous failed attempt maybe?
Just in case anyone's wondering, you can replay the results as spoofed network traffic via tcpreplay: https://github.com/appneta/tcpreplay
or rather tcpliveplay (that should be included in the package), unless you decide modify tcp packet order numbers manually.
A very useful tool for any kind of low level network development, especially multiplayer games.
tldr: satellites are retired by using up their fuel reserves in order to get them to burn out in atmosphere or "park" in a higher orbit. Some satellites have timers built in in case their receivers fail and do this automatically.
Essentially, when something goes wrong satellites stay in stable orbits as space junk, their batteries decay and become conductive so the sun starts powering directly when conditions are met, at this point we can catch telemetry from these space-age relics. Beyond cool.
I'd love one! Rooted, acting as a high quality wifi microphone . If TTS is handled locally (doubtful) I'd love to tap into that as well, it sounds very nice.
This might be the new Kinect, a device least used for what it was originally intended. Fingers crossed, we might be getting a great microphone!

You might want to consider re-branding this wordpress hosting service, diaries are usually private until the author decides otherwise.
(I didn't register, WP assumption made from the terms)
sorry for the confusion caused. The TOS aren't final yet and actually weren't supposed to be linked anywhere. Obviously, in their current state they would be unacceptable for a diary, we are aware of that.
As for your guesses regarding Wordpress, you guessed wrong. This is a completely separate thing.
Those characteristics including ethnicity can be useful for marketing purposes.
I remember reading about a shop that used this sort of technology to profile their customers. It revealed that at a certain time of week they received an unusually large number of Japanese customers (turned out they were on a tour bus route) and responded by repositioning their Japanese member of staff to be a greeter during these periods and it significantly improved their revenue.
A similar product based around this idea might be clothes shop dummies with this built in. This would provide an interesting profile of the people interested in the particular outfit the dummy was modelling which might be useful for further advertising targeting or in the case of a multi-national brand some insights into what they should advertise in which regions.
Its open source (MIT license I believe) and performs some of the same functions as Face++ like detection, "landmarking" and replacing features/mapping a mask to your face. It includes some fun demos as well.
