  • The developer who has already had his iPhone app denied from Apple's App Store and had his ability to issue Ad Hoc licenses of the app revoked by Apple is hoping that the third time's a charm
  • Podcaster first made news last month when Sokirynsky made it known that his application had been rejected from the App Store for duplicating the functionality of iTunes. The third-party app allows users to download podcasts to their iPhones or iPod touches. Users could then listen to the podcasts immediately instead of having to sync with a computer first.
  • Apple then denied Sokirynsky the ability to distribute any more ad hoc copies of the application.

    Look at what apple is doing to protect their own hold on the musical pursestrings of society with this.
  • Vicki Davis on 07 Oct 08
     
    Apple is quite protective of the uses of their devices and although they allow the development of "apps" -- they made waves recently when they denied the app that allows people to download and listen directly to podcasts w/out synching w/ the computer. Mobile itunes doesn't offer this feature. So, there is "open" and truly "open." Iphone apps store isn't really open, if this is true.

Workflow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

shared by Jon Cavalier on 13 Oct 08 - Cached
  • A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, a group of persons,[1]
  • A workflow is a model to represent real work for further assessment, e.g., for describing a reliably repeatable sequence of operations. More abstractly, a workflow is a pattern of activity enabled by a systematic organization of resources, defined roles and mass, energy and information flows, into a work process that can be documented and learned.[3][4] Workflows are designed to achieve processing intents of some sort, such as physical transformation, service provision, or information processing.
  • The cultural impact of workflow optimization during this era can be understood through films such as Chaplin's classic Modern Times. These concepts did not stay confined to the shop floor. One magazine invited housewives to puzzle over the fastest way to toast three slices of bread on a one-side, two-slice grill. The book Cheaper by the Dozen introduced the emerging concepts to the context of family life.

    Definition of Workflow: "A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, a group of persons,[1] an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms. Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work, segregated in workshare."

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A workflow consists of a sequence of concatenated (connected) steps. Emphasis is on the flow paradigm, where each step follows the precedent without delay or gap and ends just before the subsequent step may begin. This concept is related to non overlapping tasks of single resources.

  • CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is where it all began in March 1989. A physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, wrote a proposal for information management showing how information could be transferred easily over the Internet by using hypertext, the now familiar point-and-click system of navigating through information. The following year, Robert Cailliau, a systems engineer, joined in and soon became its number one advocate. The idea was to connect hypertext with the Internet and personal computers, thereby having a single information network to help CERN physicists share all the computer-stored information at the laboratory. Hypertext would enable users to browse easily between texts on web pages using links.
  • nfo.cern.ch was the address of the world's first-ever web site and web server, running on a NeXT computer at CERN. The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html, which centred on information regarding the WWW project. Visitors could learn more about hypertext, technical details for creating their own webpage, and even an explanation on how to search the Web for information. There are no screenshots of this original page and, in any case, changes were made daily to the information available on the page as the WWW project developed.

  • A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
  • QR Codes are now used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (known as mobile tagging).
  • QR Codes storing addresses and URLs may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, business cards or just about any object that users might need information about. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader software can scan the image of the QR Code causing the phone's browser to launch and redirect to the programmed URL. This act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks.

  • Examples of a remote system might from which a download might be performed include a webserver, FTP server, email server, or other similar systems. A download can mean either any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded, the process of receiving such a file.
  • In contrast, the term downloading is distinguished from the related concept of streaming, which indicates the receiving of data that is used near immediately as it is received, while the transmission is still in progress and which may not be stored long-term, whereas in a process described using the term downloading, this would imply that the data is only usable when it has been received in its entirety.

  • The use of the terms uploading and downloading often imply that the data sent or received is to be stored permanenently, or at least stored more than temporarily.
  • When there is a transfer of data from a remote system to another remote system, the process is called "remote uploading".

    "As cell phones become more ubiquitous, it's becoming increasingly easy to use them for positive action. We've been talking about that quite a bit lately here on Planet Green, and one of the organizations whose name keeps popping up is Mobile Active. They're a great group, and deserve a highlight. Mobile Active, as they succinctly state, is "a global network of people using mobile technology for social impact." The group recognizes that there are billions of phones across the world being used by people in even the most unlikely of places. More are entering the consumer stream on a daily basis. Therefore, a cell phone is the perfect tool with which to engage people for activism. The group works to help organizations understand how they can use mobile phones to get people involved in social change or improve their organization, reduce the costs of getting mobile phones into the hands of people who need them, speed up the adoption of mobile phones as a tool among non-profits, and facilitate the implementation of mobile phone projects and campaigns. Mobile Active takes part in issues ranging from health to environment to disaster relief. You can search through all the many projects they're involved in with their mDirectory. As you look through, there's no doubt you'll be inspired and think about your cell phone in a whole new way - as a tool for changing the world. Check out the Good Call feature here on Planet Green for great information about cell phones and activism.

Frightened of a more globalized, competitive, fast-paced future, they want to retreat back into the womb of soft student-centred pedagogy, classroom info-tainment, and nurturing the self-esteem of students.
