What is FriendFeed’s Effect on Blogging?
Web 2.0 Apps are the New Distribution Tools: Ultimately, most of this new media not being funneled into blogging is going to end up in the same places, but the means to create, distribute, and garner discussion on the media will be done with tools that better suit the process. FriendFeed is superb at creating spur-of-the-moment discussions from a wide cross-section of folks on interesting ideas, blog posts, and bookmarked news items. Twitter, from a content producer’s perspective, is a great research tool, and an even better way to market your media to folks who really care. Utterz is an excellent central meta-distribution platform. Drop.io, like Utterz, is also good at giving producers on the go a way to effortlessly build their media for slightly different applications. In the end, most of this stuff can and will end up on the websites we’ve built originally to showcase our blog content, and the majority of it all ends up in an RSS feed at multiple points along the way. In short, micro-blogging isn’t killing traditional blogging, it’s evolving it.

Židovka zbog vica završila u komunističkom logoru
- Nisam znala da na to mjesto pikira moj kolega koji mi je vic ispričao, a koji me je, kada sam ga potom prepričala u istoj redakciji, prijavio Udbi. On je otišao u Pariz, a ja sam ‘zbog klevete protiv države i naroda’, kako je moje ‘djelo’ kvalificirano, iz beogradske središnjice Udbe, tzv. Glavnjače, najprije deportirana u Ramski rit, potom u Zabelu kod Požarevca, a zatim do Bakra odakle sam brodom Punat najprije bila prebačena do Sv. Grgura, a zatim na Goli otok - priča o tim teškim danima nekadašnja zatočenica.

Talking To Pirates
A few days ago I posted a simple question on my blog. "Why do people pirate my games?". It was an honest attempt to get real answers to an important question. I submitted the bog entry to slashdot and the penny arcade forums, and from there it made it to arstechnica, then digg, then bnet and probably a few other places. The response was massive. This is what I found:

Groklaw - Lawyer's Funny AntiLinux FUD Turns Out to be Not So Funny
I put this article from Law.com's Legal Technology page, "Commentary: The Penguin Doesn't Fly, Avoid Linux" in News Picks because I found it hilarious, in the Rob Enderle kind of way. But then I thought I'd look up the author on Google, and lo and behold, I find he said something that appears to be not exactly true. I'm not talking about the FUD stuff. I'm talking about his assertion that he couldn't get any answers to a request for help from Mandriva Forum

Words and chords. The semantic shifts of the Beatles' chords
Every typical Beatles' song has at least one rather unconventional chord progression. Often there are more and sometimes the chord sequences even come close to endangering the songs' musical comprehensibility. There is, however, some kind of harmonic structure beneath these remarkable chord progressions, preventing this to happen. In the Beatles' songs each of the basic chords can be replaced by several other types of chords. Separated by minor third intervals, the tones of these stand-in chords show a diagonal relationship. This principle of diagonal substitution helps the listeners to understand the songs musically. Closer study of the early Beatles' songs reveals yet another point of support. In each song there is a tight relation between the clusters of these stand-in chords and the semantics of the lyrics. As the meaning of the words in a song does shift along two dimensions, the chords will shift along the same lines. This correlation between words and chords offers a flexible way to shift emotional meanings in conversational contexts.

Does Google hate America? - By Chris Thompson - Slate Magazine
some of the country's most prominent conservative opinion journals and news sites have published stories and blog posts denouncing Google for subtly pushing a liberal worldview in its doodles while steadfastly refusing to commemorate patriotic or religious holidays.

Study of Bush's psyche touches a nerve | World news | The Guardian
A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity". As if that was not enough to get Republican blood boiling, the report's four authors linked Hitler, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan and the rightwing talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh, arguing they all suffered from the same affliction. All of them "preached a return to an idealised past and condoned inequality". Republicans are demanding to know why the psychologists behind the report, Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition, received $1.2m in public funds for their research from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
The authors also peer into the psyche of President George Bush, who turns out to be a textbook case. The telltale signs are his preference for moral certainty and frequently expressed dislike of nuance.
"This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes," the authors argue in the Psychological Bulletin.

Laka: the true winner of Eurovision – jannilondon’s Journal – Last.fm
Laka has been the one to catch my attention, and it seems that many others have shared my experience: here on Last.fm on the week of the ESC he became the "Top artist mover" - up 842%, which no other Eurovision performer came near. Hopefully this will help him gain some of the publicity he deserves.

Intervju sa Zizekom: SVIJET SE NALAZI U IZVANREDNOM STANJU
Da ne bude zabune, svi smo mi radikalni ateisti, ali ono što nas kod Svetog Pavla zanima jest ideja zajednice ljudi koji vjeruju. U tome vidimo dimenziju kolektiva, koja nije ni liberalni induvidualni svijet ni fundamentalistička zajednica.

Readers Write About Symbian, OS X and the iPhone
In most regards, Symbian's reputation as a modern, robust, stable and advanced OS for smartphones is not well deserved. Sure, Symbian works, it has a very long feature list, and it's probably even the best smartphone OS available today. But it's mostly because the competition is pathetic than anything else.

Peter Thiel Makes Down Payment on Libertarian Ocean Colonies

Our Own Worst Critic | Print Article | Newsweek.com
We are all called upon everyday to read others, to interpret how we look in their eyes. Whether in a job interview, a musical audition or a first date, it's basic human nature to calculate how we're doing as performers in life. But we so often get it wrong, believing we did far better or far worse than we did in fact. Why are we so poor at intuiting what others think of us?

War of the Babies--When Modern Warfare and Demography Square Off, Demography Wins
To win the way the Albanians won in Kosovo, you need to make a lot of babies. It’s that simple. And to see how it works, you have to drop the namby-pamby liberal idea that people only have babies out of “love.” In lots of places on this planet, baby-making is a form of weapons production.
The Rise of Contextual User Interfaces - ReadWriteWeb
Every imaginable choice was thrown at users at once and it was up to the poor user to figure out what to do. To cram more information onto the screen, the interfaces of that era used tabs. At some point Microsoft invented the ultimate UI element - a tab with a scroll button in the end which allowed the user to page through hidden tabs.

Every imaginable choice was thrown at users
at once and it was up to the poor user to figure out what to do. To cram more information onto the screen,
the interfaces of that era used tabs. At some point Microsoft invented the ultimate UI element - a tab with a scroll button in the end which allowed the user to page through hidden tabs.
Another philosophy of the old UI approach was that the user wants
to see all information all the time. Instead of building UIs that responded to the way that people actually
interacted with the tool, the user interface opened up all possible choices at all times. Naturally, this is
completely overwhelming and confusing to people.
Apple logo history | Logos Pedia
The logo design was very simple- an apple with a bite taken out of it, adorned with all the colours of the rainbow, albeit in the wrong order. The symbolism here was genius; the bite symbolized knowledge, as in the Garden of Eden, and was also a play on words, as in computer “byte”.

The truth is, when it comes to large-scale one-to-one computing programs, we're completely in the dark about what actually works, because hey, no one has done a large-scale one-to-one computing program before.

What's Cooking in PulseAudio's glitch-free Branch
-
The first basic idea of the glitch-free playback model (a
better, less marketingy name is probably timer-based audio
scheduling which is the term I internally use in the PA codebase)
is to no longer depend on sound card interrupts to schedule audio but
use system timers instead. System timers are far more flexible then
the fragment-based sound card timers. They can be reconfigured at any
time, and have a granularity that is independant from any buffer
metrics of the sound card. The second basic idea is to use playback
buffers that are as large as possible, up to a limit of 2s or 5s. The
third basic idea is to allow rewriting of the hardware buffer at any
time. This allows instant reaction on user-input (i.e. pause/seek
requests in your music player, or instant event sounds) although the
huge latency imposed by the hardware playback buffer would suggest
otherwise.
