I haven’t had much time to write lately but I have an extensive backlog of topics that I would like to discuss. Here are a bunch of unrelated links to tide you over:
“Open Source versus Open Standards” - an interesting discussion of the “open source” versus “open standards” debate.
“Focus on Software Piracy Problem” - a good article about software “piracy”.
“The Open Source Movement” - an excellent survey of open source adoption in the healthcare sector.
“Interview with Jakob Nielsen, Ph.D.” - a conversation with Jakob Nielsen.
“Google Search: http://” - a search query that displays all pages with default titles… kind of humorous.
“Hacking Kazaa” - an article about Kazzalite.
“Reality Check for Web Design” - a good discussion of the importance of web standards.
“Bob Roberts (1992)” - one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. Worth checking out.
“Court blocks security conference talk” - more evidence of the failure of our intellectual property system.
“Retail Alphabet Game” - an addictive game of advertising memory.
“Kingdomality: The Discoverer” - my Medieval personality according to a unique online quiz.
“August 2009: How Google beat Amazon and Ebay to the Semantic Web” - a thought-provoking look into the future of the semantic web.
“The Man Who Hijacked Napster” - an adaptation of a new book about Napster and its complicated history.
“New music rules are needed” - a unique perspective on the peer-to-peer versus the music industry debate.
Hopefully I will have more time to write in the next few days.
