A personal need for organizing the information I access online, going away from the pdf print of page, or browser tab just lying open for ages (Anna style) brought me here. Seems to be a quite good and featureful service, sponsored by the NSF.

not convinced ... still stick to pdf for time being

NSF, NSA, more or less the same. I'm growing increasingly weary about giving increasingly more private data away to online services.

interesting perspective ... hopefully included by now in the list but I did not check ....

can we use it for space :-) ?

Pretty interesting piece on computer languages.

Yes, very good, but I don't get what all the fuss is about... everyone knows Python is the ultimate programming language! :) Follow up reading: If programming languages were religions... (quite accurate actually) Great quote from the article you linked to: In 1975 Edsger W. Dijkstra, a major figure in the structured-programming movement, wrote a memo titled "How Do We Tell Truths that Might Hurt?" The "truths" were mostly Dijkstra's opinions of programming languages; how he told them was very bluntly. Fortran is "an infantile disorder," PL/I "a fatal disease," APL "a mistake, carried through to perfection." Students exposed to COBOL "are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration," he said. "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."

Fool! You can pry my templates from my cold dead hands!

"WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a three-month investigation, a team of Northwestern University student reporters has found that the US nation's security establishment is not adequately prepared for many of the environmental changes that are coming faster than predicted and that threaten to reshape demands made on the military and intelligence community. This is despite the fact that the Defense Department has called climate change a potential "accelerant of instability." The Medill School of Journalism graduate student team began publication on January 10 of its findings on the national security implications of climate change with a series of print, video and interactive stories."

nice account how some tech savvyness helps in these situations

interesting initiative ...

following Francesco's post from Slatdot, this is now the original article from the NYT ... enjoy

completely crazy these high speed transactions... they should rather put their efforts in science...!

Cell Press and Elsevier have launched a project called Article of the Future that is an ongoing collaboration with the scientific community to redefine how the scientific article is presented online....

well - none of the two examples that they have given show much imagination - don't think that any of these will be better than just using the full screen pdf, my preferred way after printing and reading on paper ... btw: Kevin: are you still around? could we meet?

nothing new but coming from MIT :-)

not sure if I ever said this but being the conservative one is sad ... :-(

these astrophysicists are universally employable ...

we should team up with them ....

NASA feeling the wind of change and not surprisingly its Pete Wordens boys that are fastest ... -LS

any volunteers?
