Minority Report comes to Britain: The CCTV that spots crimes BEFORE they happen - (USA)
Two men appear to be meeting on a deserted street. Is a crime about to happen? Daily Mail | Nov 28, 2008 By James Slack CCTV cameras which can ‘predict’ if a crime is about to take place are being introduced on Britain’s streets. The cameras can alert operators to suspicious behaviour, such as loitering and unusually slow walking. Anyone spotted could then have to explain their behaviour to a police officer. The move has been compared to the Tom Cruise science-fiction film Minority Report, in wh

Institution – another part of place - (USA)
For longer than I care to remember, I’ve been working on the Place component of the Ps Framework for chapter 2 of my thesis . This post brings the penultimate section for the Ps component – institution. The last section will be the “lessons from place” section that attempts to draw some lessons from the Place component for the practice of e-learning. Who knows when that will arrive. As with previous parts of the thesis, this is a first draft with only a modicum of re-reading. There are l

Population control needed for digital age - (USA)
There is yet another reason for population control: gizmo-loving parents with babies stuff up wifi connections. Apart from the economic reasons (fewer people for the same assets – remember how wealth and labor demands after plagues caused major social reforms and advancement in Europe), environmental reasons (fewer people for limited resources), it appears that baby monitors (and some audio-visual tools) cause wifi interference, and we have all been blaming it on wifi congestion. Wifi, s

What You Need to Know About a Computer Programming Course - (USA)
Computer programming may seem like a highly complicated discipline but at its roots, every program actually begins as a simple set of instructions. Computer programming is essentially the design of a simple program in order to create a more complicated program. It is currently one of the most sought-after courses and is also a career that presents plenty of opportunities in a very exciting field. If you’re curious about what taking a computer programming course will be like, here are some im

Learning, Teaching and Learning - (USA)
by Jay Polmar How do we teach to each other? How is it that we were taught everything that we now know? At some points in history, knowledge was elitist and even a forbidden concept. In 399 BC, Socrates explained that he was known as the wisest of all men since he understood that he only knew about nothing. Socrates was ultimately executed because of his unyielding questioning to the Athens population to find out how they knew what they knew. In this days, we still ask Socratic questions

Putting the squeeze on crystals could see an end to computer boot stages - (USA)
Nobody likes staring at a screen while they wait for their computer to boot up. Sure, you can spend those few minutes making a cup of coffee or ferreting the dirt out from under your fingernails, but if you’re raring to go those few minutes can be a frustrating waste of time. This could soon be a thing of the past however, thanks to a clever materials science technique that may allow a new class of electronic devices that remember their last state, even after power is turned off...

Who took a byte from the Apple? - (USA)
From an interview with the designer of the Apple logo we learn about the byte and all the myths around its source. CB: What does the bite in the apple represents? Is it a reference to a computing term byte? Is it a reference to the biblical event when Eve bit into the forbidden fruit? Is the fruit itself referencing the discovery of gravity by Newton when an apple fell on his head while sitting under the tree? RJ: They are really interesting, but I'm afraid it didn't have a thing to d

A problem of language - (USA)
I try to stay out of language wars these days. I find the whole endeavour incredibly tedious. I don’t really feel like arguing whether OCaml is better than Ruby is better than Scala is better than brainfuck is better than C. I like them all (ok maybe not brainfuck), and the arguments for and against each all have their validity. But one thing I have a lot of trouble with is bad arguments . Not “arguments I disagree with”, but arguments which are simply outright bad. Robert Fischer has a p

The Hubble Space Telescope has new eyes and a new nervous system. It took all of the astronaut Andrew J. Feustel’s experience as a mechanic and an old Jaguar restorer, however, to accomplish the eyeball part.The first task on a five-day set of repair and maintenance spacewalks from the space shuttle Atlantis was to install a new camera, the Wide-Field Camera 3, on the Hubble. But to get it in, astronauts first had to remove the old camera by unscrewing a seven-foot bolt known as the “A” latch,

47 People Who Work At Twitter (And What They Do) - (USA)
The shenanigans of the past couple of days on Twitter have provided us with a couple of key pieces of information: one, that Twitter really needs to work on its PR, and two, that the leadership provided by Jack Dorsey (@Jack), Evan Williams (@Ev), Biz Stone (@Biz) and others, certainly in the manner of what they blog and tweet , is perhaps not as good as it might be. Here’s the thing: while these guys are holding the reins, they aren’t the only employees Twitter has. Moreover, while we’re
