Designing for Multiple Screen Sizes Is About Consistency - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    As we're unlikely to be actually designing many of the UI for publishing apps ourselves, it's never a bad idea to have this in the back of your mind when speaking with your design firm/vendor/department at the start of a project. Especially, with the growth of smartphones, mid-sized and larger sized tablet devices.

Prince George's considers copyright policy that takes ownership of students' work - 0 views

  •  
    A proposal by the Prince George's County Board of Education to copyright work created by staff and students for school could mean that a picture drawn by a first-grader, a lesson plan developed by a teacher or an app created by a teen would belong to the school system, not the individual. The measure has some worried that by the system claiming ownership to the work of others, creativity could be stifled and there would be little incentive to come up with innovative ways to educate students. Some have questioned the legality of the proposal as it relates to students.

The Threat of Silence: Meet the groundbreaking new encryption app set to revolutionize ... - 1 views

  •  
    "Back in October, the startup tech firm Silent Circle ruffled governments' feathers with a "surveillance-proof" smartphone app to allow people to make secure phone calls and send texts easily. Now, the company is pushing things even further-with a groundbreaking encrypted data transfer app that will enable people to send files securely from a smartphone or tablet at the touch of a button. (For now, it's just being released for iPhones and iPads, though Android versions should come soon.) That means photographs, videos, spreadsheets, you name it-sent scrambled from one person to another in a matter of seconds." In an age where we can pretty much assume we're being monitored 24/7, is this a good thing? Or is this another tool for some really terrible people to do some really terrible things, but now with an added layer of privacy?

Bridges Of Virtue: Indie Publishers As The Golden Mean | Digital Book World - 2 views

  • You may note my repeated emphasis on the small size of Independent Publishers, and how this can give them the advantage, in some instances, against Big Publishers. The reason for this is that small entities are generally more adaptable than larger ones, and during this period of transition to the New World – where we know the landscape is changing, but not what it is changing into – publishers need to be adaptable in order to survive; in order to thrive, they need to be willing to experiment. Many of the experiments they take when they test the waters will result in failure, but as Independent Publishers have less to lose and more to gain, they will be that much more innovative.
  •  
    Small indie publishers are likely to be the source of innovation for publishing.

In Praise of Copying, CC-licensed book from Harvard Uni Press - Boing Boing - 0 views

  • Although generosity is a wonderful thing, this isn't especially intended as a utopian gesture towards a world in which everything is free. It's recognition of the way in which copies of texts circulate today, a circulation in which the physical object known as the book that is for sale in the marketplace has an important but hardly exclusive role. A PDF of a book is not an illegitimate copy of a legitimate original but participates in other kinds of circulation that have long flourished around the book-commodity: the library book; the photocopy or hand-written copy; the book browsed, borrowed or shared.

  •  
    This interview with the founder of Talking Points Memo describes the process of his nutty personal blog became respected "independent media." TPM broke the Duke Cunningham bribery scandal and the US Attorneys firing scandal. Perhaps this is the authority "test" for political blogs -- they must break a major news scandal. Whatever you think of him, Matt Drudge made his bones by breaking the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
