BASIC-256 is an easy to use version of BASIC designed to teach young children the basics of computer programming. It uses traditional control structures like gosub, for/next, and goto, which helps kids easily see how program flow-control works. It has a built-in graphics mode which lets them draw pictures on screen in minutes, and a set of detailed, easy-to-follow tutorials that introduce programming concepts through fun exercises.

I think Scratch →Greenfoot → Eclipse is a good path for Scratch users who want to get deeperinto programming. And many Scratch users may not go on to learn Java ormajor in computer science, just as most of us who took music lessons did notgrow up to become professional musicians.[SC] This is something I really like about Scratch (and its fail-soft strategy).In a sense, I think this had been one of the original goals of Alice; I don't listin my article largely because it became challenging to realize in practice (3D issomewhat of a culprit here). I do agree that the transitions Scratch → Greenfoot, Alice → Greenfoot, and Scratch → Alice → Greenfoot wind up making agreat deal of sense in terms of what gets exposed to the student.

In addition to making Android available for free, Google also lets phone makers change the code and customize it so that an Android phone made by, say, Samsung has a different user interface than an Android phone from Motorola. Rubin believes this open-source model gives Google an advantage over rivals selling closed systems, like Apple, which also operates its own online stores. Apple’s tight control enables it to deliver an exceptionally smooth user experience, where everything works seamlessly together.

So what happens when most of the residents of planet Earth carry a device that gives them instant access to pretty much all of the world's information? The implications-for politics, for education, for global economics-are dizzying. In theory, the mobile revolution could enable citizens to demand greater openness and accountability from their governments. The reverse might also be true: governments could more easily spy on citizens. "You also have the prospect of having 5 billion surveillance points," says Jonathan Zittrain, codirector of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society.

People need to adapt and have business models that work with the new technologies. This is an example. By the end of Scott Sigler's 20-episode podcast series, EARTHCORE, he had gained 10,000 followers. From there, he engaged the small publisher, Dragon Moon Press, to issue ANCESTOR. Its success on Amazon got the attention of Crown Publishing, which signed him for a five-book deal.

Why should I have to put a useless DVD in my PC as an honesty check when the dishonest people can play at their leisure? Why should I have to type in endless serial codes, or be restricted to one PC? The dirty secret of Digital Rights Management is that it's only the first few days that particularly matters, while there's a vague chance it might slow down the pirates for a bit.
