'The professor who taught "Introduction to Computer Programming" my freshman year of college told us that it was easier to teach a (doctor, lawyer, architect) to program a computer than it was to teach a computer programmer to be a (doctor, lawyer, architect). I was never really sure whether he meant that it was easy to teach people programming, or whether he meant that it was impossible to teach programmers anything else. Many years later, I met the doctor he collaborated a lot with, and decided that my professor's conclusion was based on an unrepresentative data set, because the doctor had the personality of a programmer who accidentally went to medical school.'

"For humans, this desire to search is not just about fulfilling our physical needs. Panksepp says that humans can get just as excited about abstract rewards as tangible ones. He says that when we get thrilled about the world of ideas, about making intellectual connections, about divining meaning, it is the seeking circuits that are firing. "

'The web is replete with projects to “digitize legacy content”—patent applications, books, photographs, everything. While photographs might survive well as JPEGs or TIFFs (disregarding accessibility issues for a moment), the bulk of this legacy content requires semantic markup for computers to understand it. A sheet of paper provides complete authorial freedom, but that freedom can translate poorly to the coarse semantics of HTML. The digitization craze—that’s what it is—crashes headlong into HTML semantics. '

'Google News was inaccessible for some people Thursday afternoon right as rumors of Jackson's death began to circulate, replaced by an error message reading "We're sorry, but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now."
Of course, those queries were quite legitimate, as millions around the world searched for accurate information regarding Jackson following reports that he had suffered cardiac arrest. The spike in queries began at about 2:45 p.m. PDT Thursday, and Google thought the traffic was an attack for about 25 minutes before realizing what was going on.'

"Cornell University is trying to address just that concern in moving the weekly Cornell Chronicle to online only. The last edition of the weekly paper will be printed May 29, but Cornell is putting mechanisms in place so those who want a print copy can still get one -- a printable PDF version will be attached to the new weekly e-newsletter, so readers can print it themselves, and the university's print services division will also make copies on demand, for distribution purposes.

"This news may come as a shocker to the tech-savvy folks in the house, but 60 percent of companies use Internet Explorer 6 as their default browser, according to Forrester Research. Meanwhile, your IT department spends a decent amount of time erecting barriers to prevent browser upgrades. Bottom line: companies need a browser policy, or they will risk productivity losses. "
