HTML5 Could Be the OS Killer - Business Center - PC World - 0 views

  •  
    Its focus on running applications within the browser is an important driver of interest in cloud computing, where applications live somewhere off on the Internet and are delivered by the browser. The focus of future browsers will shift from "going places" to "doing things." This will be a boon to free operating systems, which will increasingly be able to hide themselves under the browser user interface. While Windows and Mac OSX won't go away overnight, the pressure on them will be to innovate beyond the browser, perhaps through a common set of extensions for HTML5 applications to use.

Business & Technology | UW team researches a future filled with RFID chips | Seattle Ti... - 0 views

  • The project is meant to explore both positive and negative aspects of a world saturated with technology that can monitor people and objects remotely. "What we want to understand," Borriello said, "is what makes it useful, what makes it threatening and how to balance the two."
  • Our objective is to create a future world where RFID is everywhere and figure out problems we'll run into before we get there,
  • For more than a year, a dozen researchers have carried around RFID tags equipped with tiny computer chips that store an identification number unique to each tag. Researchers installed about 200 antennas throughout the computer-science building that pick up any tag near them every second.

  • The system can show when people leave the office, when they return, how often they take breaks, where they go and who's meeting with whom,
  • if people don't see the tags, it's easy to forget they are giving out information whenever they come within range of a reader.
  • how to make the technology useful while protecting privacy
  • The system is transparent, so each can tell if the other has checked his whereabouts.
  • Users can search the calendar to jog their memories about when they last saw someone or how, where and with whom they spent their time.

  • There's no reason to have remotely readable technology in a driver's license," Borriello said. He recommends a system that requires contact with the surface of a reader, so the license-holder knows when information on his license is being read.

  • data from radio tags can be pieced together to offer a detailed profile of a person's habits without his or her knowledge.
  • People don't understand the implications of information they're giving out," Borriello said. "They can be linked together to paint a picture, one you didn't think you were painting."

How Android Is Transforming Mobile Computing - Newsweek - 0 views

  • 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.

      Key point. There are clear advantages to open systems
  •  
    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.

  • companies involved say customers' privacy is protected because no personally identifying details are released.
  • Although common tracking systems, known as cookies, have counted a consumer's visits to a network of sites, the new monitoring, known as "deep-packet inspection," enables a far wider view -- every Web page visited, every e-mail sent and every search entered. Every bit of data is divided into packets -- like electronic envelopes -- that the system can access and analyze for content.

Judge: 17,000 illegal downloads don't equal 17,000 lost sales - 0 views

  •  
    Record companies cannot collect restitution for every time a song has been illegally downloaded, a US District judge has decided. Judge James P. Jones gave his opinion on United States of America v. Dove, a criminal copyright case, ruling that each illegal download does not necessarily equate to a lost sale, and that the companies affected by P2P piracy cannot make their restitution claims based on this assumption.

Togelius: Automatic Game Design - 0 views

  •  
    "What makes games fun? Some (e.g. Raph Koster) claim that fun is learning - fun games are those which are easy to learn, but hard to master, with a long and smooth learning curve. I think we can create fun game rules automatically through measuring their learnability. In a recent experiment, we do this using evolutionary computation, and create some simple Pacman-like new games completely without human intervention! Perhaps this has a future in game design? The academic paper (PDF) is available as well."
