Cabbie’s tweet reunites lost BlackBerry with owner
Today I stumbled upon a story of an amazing story in social networking world. CNet news author Matt Asay share this story with us.
Some believe that Twitter has the power to change big events like Iranian elections. I think that its strength may be in much smaller, but still significant, ways.
In fact, I was the matchmaker recently between a Barcelona cabbie and an American employee of a pharmaceutical company. Well, a matchmaker between the cabbie and this lady’s BlackBerry, anyway.
Lunascape, three major browser in one
Yeah you read it right. Three major browser in one browser. Technically, it’s a browser with 3 different engine. Here’s the equation:
Lunascape = IE (Trident) + Firefox (Gecko) + Chrome/Safari (Webkit)
Namely the world’s first and only triple engine browser, this of course suited well for web designers and/or web developers. I look at this browser as one of the answers for cross-browser compatibility problem.
5 sickening habits of mainstream websites
1. Breaking stories in many different pages to increase the number of impressions
Have you ever seen those “Top 25 Web Celebrities” or “Top 20 Richest People in the World” lists on Forbes? The number of items on the list is the number of pages that they use to display the information…. Slide shows they call it. I call it “trying to get as many page views as possible from each visitor to make more advertising money, because we are some greedy folks!”
And this practice is not limited to lists. If you take a look on Wired or PC World, you will notice that even 500 word stories get broken down into two or more pages!
Coffee table is universal remote control
We all have a little bit of sci-fi dream inside. Can’t deny that. We’ve all seen how Hollywood pictured a single device control every tiny bit inside the house. Now here’s something that might just be it. Except that it is only a coffee table, and it controls only the living room.
Introducing CRYSTAL (Control of Remotely Interfaced Systems using Touch-based Actions in Living spaces), a recent research project that tries to create a unique bonding between devices in a room.
The main idea is having a single device to control everything in a room from lights, fans, TV, sound system, to digital frame, while you’re comfortably sitting in your couch.
