Logging Off: The Internet Generation Prefers the Real World
August 10, 2010

They may have been dubbed the “Internet generation,” but young people are more interested in their real-world friends than Facebook. New research shows that the majority of children and teenagers are not the Web-savvy digital natives of legend. In fact, many of them don’t even know how to google properly.

How I became a Foursquare cyberstalker | The Guardian
July 23, 2010

Louise is a complete stranger. Until 10 minutes ago when I discovered she was located within a mile of me, I didn’t even know of her existence. But equipped only with a smartphone and an increasingly popular social networking application called Foursquare, I have located her to within just a few square metres, accessed her Twitter account and conducted multiple cross-referenced Google searches using the personal details I have already managed to accrue about her from her online presence. In the short time it has taken me to walk to this pub in central London, I probably know more about her than if I’d spent an hour talking to her face-to-face. She doesn’t know it yet, but Louise is about to meet her new digital stalker

Mirah: Taking Performance to the Next Level with Java's Ruby – O'Reilly Broadcast
July 22, 2010
0 Comments
Mirah’s challenge is to take Ruby, make minor modifications to the language, but not too many to change the ‘Rubyness’ of the language: the simplicity and usability of Ruby. In this post, I interview Charles Oliver Nutter one of the core commiters on JRuby and the founder of the Mirah project to put the project into perspective.

Out Of Nowhere, The iPad Has A Real Competitor « Mike Cane's iPad Test
July 13, 2010

This cheap tablet, combined with Google’s new app tool, is really going to make a huge different in the Android eco-system. People will be able to inexpensively see how they should design software for larger-screen devices. And by the time more expensive and more powerful Android tablets arrive, there will already be a library of apps available for them. Apple really should get to work on reviving HyperCard. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to make a personal kitty-meow app for myself?!

How-To: Hazel + Dropbox = Automated File Management
July 9, 2010
0 Comments
Thankfully, Hazel is becoming my electronic assistant that just takes care of these tasks for me. Simply put, Hazel takes the idea of mail rules and applies them to the entire system. At its core, Hazel is a watchdog. You tell it to keep an eye on a folder, and if certain criteria are met, perform an action. We’ve covered Hazel before, but I wanted to focus specifically on combining it with Dropbox.
