Welcome to the next tech revolution: Liquid computing | InfoWorld - 7 views

  • In a nutshell, what Handoff -- and liquid computing in general -- portends is a world where both data and activities move around as needed. The device isn't the center of the universe, as it has been since the first computer.
  • The journey to liquid computing
  • everal years ago, Google showed us a different way: the cloud as the new center. With Google Docs (now called Drive), you created your documents on its browser-accessible servers and worked on them there, usually through a browser but also via native apps on iOS and Android. You didn't have to sync your data, because it was accessible from pretty much any device. Unfortunately, Google's Web-based apps don't work that well versus what you can do on a smartphone, tablet, or PC native app, so most of us still start with the device and use the cloud as mostly a convenient file share.

  • Apple's iCloud Documents took the same idea but tied it to specific apps, moving us away from the notion of a common file pool to a common activity pool: text documents or spreadsheets or photos.
  • Apple's initial iCloud Documents approach was too tied to its apps, though, so it hasn't really expanded beyond Apple's own applications. (Apple is moving to correct that mistake in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite.)

    "I was typing an email on my iPad, and I got distracted. Some time later, I set the iPad down on my desk, and an icon on my Mac appeared. I clicked it, and in seconds the Mail app was running with that partially entered email in front of me. That's the Handoff feature in action, part of the iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite updates that will ship this fall. It's a sign of a change in computing that Google and Microsoft are also pursuing, not just Apple. Liquid Computing Welcome to the next tech revolution: Liquid computing Liquid computing: The next wave of the mobile experience Apple Watch: The Internet of things' new frontier iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are both in beta, so I can't really talk about the details of Handoff yet. But I can say it works just as Apple showed off at its recent WWDC conference's public keynote. Handoff is the first big step into a future where the notion of a device will go through a radical transformation. [ Mobile and PC management: The tough but unstoppable union. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ] At first blush, what Apple is doing is blurring the lines between mobile and desktop devices. That's true, but it's only part of the actual transformation under way. There's no real name for this transformation yet, so I'm calling it liquid computing until someone else comes up with a better name. In a nutshell, what Handoff -- and liquid computing in general -- portends is a world where both data and activities move around as needed. The device isn't the center of the universe, as it has been since the first computer. Think back to the early PC era, when people first started getting PCs at home, not just at work. Remember the effort we all spent in making sure we copied our files to a disk for use at home? We had to bring our data with us or else use a network connection to a file share. That model has persisted to this day, which is why the biggest loss of corporate data remains the lost or stolen thumb drive or

Web 2.0 is so over. Welcome to Web 3.0 (CNN.com) - 0 views

  •  
    Social-networking companies such as MySpace and Facebook have loyal fan bases, but they're not exactly minting money. MySpace's projected $600 million revenue in 2008 falls far short of parent News Corp.'s (NWS, Fortune 500) billion-dollar sales target for the site. Messaging service Twitter has no business model. Video-sharing site YouTube was the only big sale; Google paid $1.65 billion for it two years ago but still hasn't figured out how to make much money off it.

When You Love WordPress Very Much, You Tattoo It On Your Arm - 0 views

  •  
    This is nice, in a slightly creepy, and yet delightfully geeky kind of way: a fellow named Ed Morita decided to tattoo a WordPress logo on his forearm. It's not just a plain, boring logo type of tattoo, there's all sorts of things happening here: skin is peeled off, wires and circuits are shown, and there's a nice big "W" as the centerpiece.

Oregon Trail to Journey into the iPhone App Store - 0 views

  •  
    Remember when you were young and you were tasked with the role of wagon leader and solely responsible for the fate of your fellow pioneers as you traversed the dangerous trail connecting Independence, Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley? If you're anything like me, you failed miserably at your duties, with settlers dying off faster than you could hunt and catch food. But very soon, you'll be able to redeem yourself.

#41: WordPress as a CMS - 0 views

  •  
    We once did a poll asking people what their favorite CMS was. WordPress was a run-away winner, but also got many comments of "WordPress isn't a CMS!!". Well clearly, in the strictest sense, WordPress is a CMS as it "manages content". But is WordPress really only suited for blogging, or can it be used for more traditional non-blog sites? In this screencast I attempt to show off a number of WordPress features that make it very "CMS-like" in my opinion. Including page templates, dynamic menus, parent-child relationship pages, and using posts as ancillary content.

Social Media is Here to Stay... Now What? | Microsoft Research Tech Fest 2009 | danah boyd - 3 views

  • Adults are crafting them to show-off to people from the past and connect the dots between different audiences as a way of coping with the awkwardness of collapsed contexts.

      Interesting idea as to why adults do the 25 things thing on Facebook. I'm not sure about the "show off" (at least not in the ones I've seen) but certainly the connect-the-dots things seems to be happening.

A List Apart: Articles: Take Control of Your Maps - 0 views

  •  
    We live in the era of Google Maps. What started off as an impressive refresh of Mapquest-style maps now fuels web mashups. With APIs official and unofficial, Google Maps is simple enough for front-end designers to embed and for back-end programmers to target. Along the way to becoming nearly ubiquitous, it has played a major role in the "democratization of mapping." For the practical developer who wants to add geospatial information to a site or application, the Google Maps API has been an easy call. But, perhaps no longer. As websites mature and the demand for geographic applications grow, the old mashup arrangement is starting to chafe. Mapping components are more and more vital, and so we demand greater control, expressiveness, and functionality from them. Fortunately, as in many aspects of internet technology, an ecology of open source online mapping tools has emerged alongside the market leader. It is now possible to replicate Google Maps' functionality with open source software and produce high-quality mapping applications tailored to our design goals. The question becomes, then, how?

Polar Rose - Find Someone.... - Face Recognition Search Engine - 0 views

  •  
    Polar Rose grew out of computer vision research - the analysis of digital images and video - at the Universities of Lund and Malmö in southern Sweden. We are currently a team of twenty-two, including computer science graduates, mathematics and physics Ph.Ds, a user interface designer, and a technology-fascinated economist on off-roads. We believe that we have superior technology which will give meaning to digital photos and allow these to be indexable just like text documents on the web are today. We work on friendly, fun, useful and transparent applications, that use computer vision technology to sort and add context to the photo web.

Influential Marketing Blog: 10 Stunning (And Useful) Stats About Twitter - 0 views

  • 21% (One Fifth) of Twitter accounts are empty placeholders.
  • Nearly 94% of all Twitter accounts have less than 100 followers.
  • March and April of 2009 were the tipping point for Twitter.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • 150 followers is the magic numbe
  • A small minority creates most of the activity
  • 5% of users account for 75% of all activity, and 10% of users account for 86%. This seems to suggest that the site has managed to engage a mass audience beyond those who typically engage with social media.
  • Half of all Twitter users are not "active."
  • his leaves about 30% of users who have an account and have tweeted before, but happen to be inactive now.
  • Tuesday is the most active Twitter day
  • APIs have been the key to Twitter's growth & utility.
  • English still dominates Twitter
  • Twitter is being led by the social media geeks.
  • 150 followers is the magic number. In a particularly interesting data point from the survey, Sysomos found that Twitter users tended to "follow back" all their followers up until about 150 connections. Then the reciprocation rate fell off dramatically, which seems to indicate that this number may be the crossover point where people shift from using Twitter for more personal use to using it more for "lifecasting" their thoughts and actions to a community of people who they feel varying levels of connection to.

Burglar Forgot To Log Off Facebook. Got Apprehended - 0 views

    Jonathan G. Parker, 19 was one burglar who could multi-task. After breaking into a Martinsburg, West Virginia house and stealing 2 diamonds rings worth more than $3500, he had enough time to use the victim's computer to Google "best escape routes". If that's not enough, he also logged into his Facebook profile and updated his Facebook status that read, "OMG LOLZ brkin into sum1s house!"
