Software Creativity and Strange Loops - (USA)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the kind of technology and scientific understanding that would need to go into a computer like the one on the Enterprise in Star Trek, and specifically its interaction with people. It’s a computer that can respond to questions in context—that is, you don’t have to restart in every question everything needed to answer. The computer has been monitoring the conversation and has thus built up a context that it can use to understand and intelligently respond. A

Direct Brain-Computer Interface Will Require a New Language of Interaction - (USA)
[Cross-posted from Signtific .] When Apple Computer recently released the 3.0 version of its iPhone OS one of the most anticipated new features was Cut & Paste. This simple task has been a staple of computing since GUIs were part of the OS, so why did it take Apple until it’s 3rd OS version to implement the feature for the iPhone? As Apple tells it, there was incredible deliberation over how best to design the user experience. This is, after all, the first and only fully multi-touch mob

7 Technologies Shaping the Future of Social Media - (USA)
Mike Laurie works as a Digital Planner at UK Integrated Agency JPMH where he helps brands get the most from digital media. You can follow Mike on Twitter . In 2019, when you look back at the social media landscape ten years earlier, you might laugh at how hard you had to work. You had to type things into forms (ha! remember those?), type URLs in the address bar (how archaic!), and put up with irritating communications about irrelevant products. Social media in the future will be effortles

EPIC Bookstore - Our Favorite Titles - (USA)
Our Favorite Titles The File: A Personal History by Timothy Garton Ash Timothy Garton Ash’s “The File” is a journey into the author’s two-inch-thick Stasi intelligence file that the East German police accumulated on him during his study as a graduate student in East Berlin. These files were opened after German reunification, and have caused great tension in the country as Stasi informers were shown to have shared information on co-workers, friends, and even family members.

The biggest picture perspective I've seen, as of yet btw - (USA)
Its been quite some time since I felt the urge to just write. I find that there are a few posts in their own right floating around in my head all jostling for prominence right now so I'm going to clear my headspace by capturing the various thought directions and then perhaps we'll take a looksee if there's anything of value here to expand further. 1. After the recent liminal, bridger posts by WhiteAfrican and myself, there's been an increasing sense - helpfully pointed out by Chris Blow in

Ubiquitous Computing and Library Futures - (USA)
Ubiquitous Computing and Library Futures ITI Bloggers October 22nd, 2008 I was intrigued by a talk on ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp) and library futures, and I was not disappointed. Chris Peters, Technical Analyst at Techsoup, and Michael Porter, Community Project Manager at WebJunction, gave us a fascinating glimpse into the future. They define Ubicomp as “a model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities

Multi-touch is sure revolutionary, but not the end of the world. Did you assumed that the Multi-touch was the Killer mode of input? What if you could scratch just any surface and it takes input gestures and interprets as instructions ? Here is what will leave you amazed — Scratch Input - it could become a way to answer your phone, silence a call or turn up the volume.

Engelbart As UberTool? - (USA)
Yesterday I described UberTool, an imaginary company planning to push a set of tools through a mutual-improvement process; their team would improve those tools, and then use those improved versions to improve them further, and so on through a rapid burst until they were in a position to basically "take over the world." I asked what it would take to convince you their plan was reasonable, and got lots of thoughtful answers. Douglas Engelbart is the person I know who came closest to enacting s

Abstract This lab will allow us to gain an understanding of the reverse engineering process. In this lab our team will examine leakage through the process of engineering and the inadequacies and issues with configuration guides. In addition during the course of this lab we will evaluate the process of reverse engineering and determine the threat categories and taxonomy mitigations. All of this will be done using the pre-approved document we selected. Using this document and with specifi

Good enough to fool a human? - (USA)
October 22, 2008 · Filed under Human-computer interaction Tagged Turing Test On October 12 2008, it seemed as though computers edged a little bit closer to fooling humans. I’m sure you know of the Turing Test. Alan Turing was a pretty clever dude - mathematician, cryptographer and logician who devised the so-called Turing Test in a 1950 paper “Computing Machinery & Intelligence”. A human judge engages in a text-based conversation with a human and a machine. If the judge cannot tell hu

I am delighted to be able to say that the Wiki for mathematical problem-solving techniques is going to exist very soon, by which I mean that it should be up and running within the next couple of weeks, though possibly without some of the features that it will eventually have. So in this post I want to say quite a bit about what it will be like and how it will differ from other mathematical websites. First, however, I want to make very clear that the main reason I am in this happy position is tha
