“The history of the Internet suggests that there have been cool Web sites that go in and out of fashion and then there have been open standards that become plumbing, minal piece about Twitter for Time last June. “Twitter is looking more and more like plumbing, and plumbing is eternal.”
Der Dieb stiehlt Sachen. Das gestohlene Fahrrad ist weg, es ist nicht mehr an seinem Platz, es fehlt seinem Besitzer. Geistige Inhalte - Geschichten, Lieder, Bilder in allen möglichen Kombinationen - sind nicht weg, wenn sie erschlichen worden sind. Die Bilder und die Bücher sind noch an ihrem Platz, und die Spiele-Software läuft auf der ersten Kopie so gut wie auf allen weiteren Kopien. Geistige Inhalte sind öffentliche Güter, das heißt, sie können von vielen gleichzeitig genutzt und sie können leicht erschlichen werden. Darin liegt ein Problem. Aber dieses Problem lässt sich erst lösen, wenn die falsche Rede vom Diebstahl einer Sache aufhört.

Well, now the pope's newspaper has really stirred up the waters, and not just among old fogies, by publishing a "semi-serious guide" to the 10 best rock albums of all time. Drum roll please: The Top 10 albums are, in no particular order:
The Beatles' "Revolver"
Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon"
Oasis' "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?"
Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
U2's "Achtung Baby"
Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours"
Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly"
Carlos Santana's "Supernatural"
Paul Simon's "Graceland"
David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name."

Psychologist Professor James Cutting and his team from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, analyzed 150 high-grossing Hollywood films released from 1935 to 2005 and discovered the shot lengths in the more recent movies followed the same mathematical pattern that describes the human attention span.

Typolade - das ist die süsse Verbindung von Typografie und Schokolade. In Erinnerung an die Schwarze Kunst des Schriftsetzens stellen wir Buchstaben aus hochwertiger, handgegossener Schokolade her. Einzeiler, Mehrzeiler und auch längere Texte sehen in 48-Punkt-Schriftgröße dem Original-Bleisatz zum Verwechseln ähnlich und die Satztechnik entspricht der Tradition.

„Guten Tag, wir sind von Google Home View, wir wollten die Bilder von Ihrer Wohnung machen…“
In this article, we'll explore how robots use their sensors to make sense of the world. This discussion applies mostly to robots that carry an internal representation of the world and act according to that representation. There are lots of successful robots that don't do such "thinking": the military's UAVs are mostly remotely piloted, linked by an electronic tether to human eyes and brains on the ground. The Roomba does its job without building a map of your house; it just has a series of simple behaviors that are triggered by timing or bumping into things. These robots are very good at what they do, but to autonomously carry out more complicated tasks like driving, a robot needs to have some understanding of the world around it. The robot needs to know where it is, where it can and can't go, and decide what to do and where to go. We'll be discussing how modern robots answer these questions.

Looking over her symptoms of fever, cell atypia, coagulopathy, liver disease, kidney disease, and heart disease, the team suspects some form of infection but can’t narrow it down any more than that (I don’t buy it: something inflammatory like an autoimmune disease could explain all the symptoms just as well).
„The new Age of Humpink in dawning“
The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules.
It has been built by a team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than conventional petrol and diesel can power vehicles.
The team calculates the Carpuccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee - the equivalent of about 56 espressos per mile.
The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £1,820, or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey.

Überblick über die Sony Werbespots der letzten Jahrzehnte
Jeder glaubt zu wissen, das der Mitteilungsdienst auf 140 Zeichen beschränkt ist, keine Bilder transportiert und 100 % werbefrei ist. Falsch! Twitter-Accounts werden mit einem selbst gebauten Profilbild eingerichtet, was fürs Marketing nichts anderes als eine 48 x 48 Pixel großes farbiges Firmenschild ist. Diesen Werbeträger lassen alle ins Haus, die einem Twitterer folgen: Jedes Mal, wenn sich ein Unternehmen, eine Partei oder ein Hersteller zu Wort meldet, wird quadratische Eigenwerbung eingeblendet.
When a man is witness to a murder and takes pictures of the killer, he has to run for his life. During the chase he is able to turn the tables and the prey becomes the hunter. All resulting in an unfortunate ending.
We never expected the obscene level of sexism thrown in Laura's direction every day, people emailing directly to say things like "why don't you play guitar like a girl, you just want to be a man" and shit like that. We never expected that at all. Taking your band out of a supportive community that understands the terms on which you are making music, and throwing yourself into the big wide world is fucking harsh. You have to be tough or it will make you completely give up.

On March 5, 2021, a dozen or so British students held an afternoon party. They dressed up, they drank tea, they ate buttered scones with jam, and then they played some music. Nothing so unusual, but all the music was on CD, and the same CDs they played had just been used as dishes for the jam.

We asked some of our friends to film their favorite tweets. We didn't care how they did it. They could read it. They could act it. They could do it with puppets. Whatever they wanted. The only rules were it had to be a tweet written by someone else and it had to contain the entire tweet and nothing but the tweet.
This is what they gave us.

Die vorgeschlagenen Worte erscheinen in der Reihenfolge in der sie von Google vorgeschlagen werden. Jedes Wort ist durch eine verschieden dicke Linie mit verschiedenen weiteren Begriffen verbunden, je nach Trefferanzahl der Wortkombinationen.

We're looking at now now.
Making modern day New York look old. Sometimes kinda old, sometimes really old.
The general view that every square inch of land is worth a bazillion dollars is just not true. There are gaps in the façade that whole towns have fallen into, along with bizarre abandoned theme parks, ruined U.S. Air Force bases, and the tawdry remnants of pay-by-the-hour love hotels
Apple suing HTC over 20-odd patents before both the US District Court and the International Trade Commission has certainly caused some chaos this morning, but we thought we'd take a quick breath now that we have the complaints and tease out exactly what patents are at stake here. Of note, most of the patents were granted in the past year, but overall they span a range from 1995 to February 2. Yes, last month. That's a pretty big gap, and most of the patents are pretty dry and technical -- and none of them cover anything like pinch-to-zoom.
Lagos by the 1970s was a huge metropolitan city. Due to the oil boom, there was money to be made with music and nightlife and big international record labels like EMI, Decca and Philips had set up their recording studios that for a big part got equipped with vintage hardware handed down from their European franchises... EMI's house producer Emmanuel Odenusi had worked with Fela for many years, defining the sound of Afrobeat. Kayode Salami who produced another couple of tracks on this album also was responsible for the incredible sound of the famous debut LP by Psych-Rock group Ofege. Lagos, a uniquely vibrant, gritty, energetic and sometimes quite dangerous tropical metropolis has always been much more than just a city. A state of mind where third world poverty met the oil boom, where African traditions clashed with Western decadence. Make no mistake, this stuff will have you dance in a feverish rush in no time.

„Enter a number and I'll tell you everything you wanted to know about it but were afraid to ask.“
This is what Doom’s designers were working from in 1993 – back then, the idea of a first person shooter was barely established, and their closest models for many mechanics were from 2D shooters like Robotron, Berserk and Tempest. This approach echoes throughout Doom’s design.
