Software to Mimic Human Behavior?

Posted in CloudSoftware

Originally posted 2011-08-29 11:46:53. This has long been the purview of science fiction (and science fantasy). And although the AI (artificial intelligence) movement has attempted to accomplish this, they have consistently failed to intrinsically embody human behavior through software. Perhaps that has largely been a problem with the approach. We have, to date, tried to [...]

What Does This Say About Us?

Posted in HypothesisKnowledgeMobile

Originally posted 2011-07-08 13:15:24. Mobile is 2% of Global Gross Domestic Product. $1.3 trillion in sales. http://gigaom.com/broadband/stat-shot... But what this seems to indicate, besides our love and addiction for electronics, is the growing societal connection. Whether 3 miles away or 3,000, these devices enable us to stay connected with each other in an unprecedented fashion. [...]

How-To: The Joy of Seeing Your Words in Print

Posted in PublishingWriting

Originally posted 2011-07-20 13:32:14. Self-publishing has been around for decades. I remember as a graduate student at California State University, Northridge, the humble beginnings of XLibris and other digital printers promising to bring your words to print. I played around with some of them although, at the time, the Vanity presses were still in full-swing, [...]

Tablet Software: Web-based or Self-Contained?

Posted in ProgrammingReviewTechnology

Originally posted 2011-07-07 10:49:19. I think there is a lot to be said about creating native, self-contained applications for the tablet experience. Take, for instance, Amazon's iOS compatible cloud music player: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-... This is nothing more than a compatible web page. Now, this makes sense from a development perspective as you only really have to [...]

Is the Web Alive?

Originally posted 2011-08-01 12:46:54. When the Web began, it was about posting static content. Web pages got written, programmed, and then posted. But as the Web has evolved (first with blog comments, then with RSS, and now with social media), it has taken on the characteristics of a living, breathing, always evolving stream of information. [...]

Particle Flipping

Originally posted 2011-06-17 15:45:42. In the world of physics, this would be a huge deal: http://science.slashdot.org/story/11/... I have long believed (for no reason other than it seems logical) that if particles are composed of strings (and you really have buy into string theory to think this) and that those strings are constantly resonating, then perhaps [...]

Flash: The News of My Death is Greatly Exaggerated

For those pundits out there thinking that Adobe had put the fork in the Flash platform (feeling the pinch of HTML 5 and native mobile application platforms like iOS), better put the silverware down. Adobe has published its roadmap (click on link for PDF roadmap document from Adobe) for its Flash browser plugin and its AIR desktop [...]
