One of the many truly awesome things about working with the guys at http://trainingevidencesystems.com/
When you see the Chrome browser running on hardware that is a fraction as powerful as my normal notebook you really get a sense of how much wasted computing power goes into just keeping Windows running.
This is slicker and faster, cooler and lighter and cheaper than a conventional notebook and, as it happens, I spend a surprisingly large part of my day in a browser. The challenge I am currently working on is to see if I can actually work entirely using web technology.
Right now I am investigating the Cloud 9 IDE https://c9.io which interfaces direction to GitHub. So far so good but I will have to work with it for a bit longer to know if it is a good replacement for my current code editor.

MSNBC Gets a Dose of Brand X
Russell Brand is a pretty polarizing comedian, but no matter your opinion on this eloquent Englishman, you'll want to see him in action on the set of MSNBC program Morning Joe.
Brand appeared yesterday as a guest on the show to promote his new comedy tour, Messiah Complex. After commenting on his attire early on, the anchors strangely turn on him during the interview. They discuss the comedian as if he weren't there, even ribbing him about his accent.
But Brand's a seasoned comedy professional who has no doubt dealt with his share of hostile audiences.

Orson Welles on how prohibition invalidates the rule of law
When we become an entire nation of lawbreakers, perhaps the fault does not dwell in ourselves, but in the laws themselves. This is why non-smokers like myself fight to end the "war" on cannabis.

The tablet G+ app is now the best way to interact with G+. It still lacks a few features from the desktop version but it's generally superior.
I spent the first few year complaining about it but now it's my primary way of interacting with G+.
I still use the desktop version daily for work via a separate account. It is amazing to me that the desktop version is now inferior to the mobile one.
They must have worked hard to pull that off (mainly through sabotage).

Three NSA insiders who tried, and failed, to blow the whistle speak out. If you read only one article about the NSA leak, this would be a good choice.

Today is my 30th birthday, so I'm writing this letter to Google
I'm going to put all the jokes about my youth coming to a close aside and talk about something that I usually don't ever speak of. The wave of technology in the past couple decades has been amazing. I used a lite brite as a kid. Now 3 year olds are using iPads. We've reached whole new levels but have somehow managed to ignore people with disabilities who could really benefit from these advancements. I know we all want to create things for recreation, but how about helping some people out along the way.
Hearing disabilities are rarely ever talked about and if you watched that deaf girl hear for the first time on youtube about a year ago, you'd think that deafness had been cured once and for all. Less than 1% of hearing impaired people in the U .S. could even benefit from the type of surgery she... more »

Further, it's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school.

Binney, Drake, Kiriakou, and Manning are all examples of how overly-harsh responses to public-interest whistle-blowing only escalate the scale, scope, and skill involved in future disclosures. Citizens with a conscience are not going to ignore wrong-doing simply because they'll be destroyed for it: the conscience forbids it. Instead, these draconian responses simply build better whistleblowers. If the Obama administration responds with an even harsher hand against me, they can be assured that they'll soon find themselves facing an equally harsh public response.
This disclosure provides Obama an opportunity to appeal for a return to sanity, constitutional policy, and the rule of law rather than men. He still has plenty of time to go down in history as the President who looked into the abyss and stepped back, rather than leaping forward into it. I would advise he personally call for a... more »

Wikileaks is a legitimate journalistic outlet and they carefully redacted all of their releases in accordance with a judgment of public interest. The unredacted release of cables was due to the failure of a partner journalist to control a passphrase. However, I understand that many media outlets used the argument that "documents were dumped" to smear Manning, and want to make it clear that it is not a valid assertion here.

Sweden’s data protection Authority bans Google cloud services over privacy concerns #prism
In a landmark ruling, Sweden’s data protection authority (the Swedish Data Inspection Board) this week issued a decision that prohibits the nation’s public sector bodies from using the cloud service Google Apps.
The ruling – which bans Google cloud products such as calendar services, email and data processing functions – is based on inadequacies in the Google contract. A risk assessment by the Board determined that the contract gives Google too much covert discretion over how data can be used, and that public sector customers are unable to ensure that data protection rights are protected.
[...]
The decision may also trigger a disintegration of trust across Europe over the use by schools of such services. A recent survey revealed that schools are adopting cloud services at speed bu... more »

Unhosted: Your Secure Private Cloud
Unhosted.org - A new cloud app service & architecture.
I realised only last week that this was feasible, and what I wanted in place of having to give facebook, google, amazon and others access to my personal and precious data. A few days later.. here is the answer!
With unhosted.org, your data resides where you want it. It goes nowhere near the application provider, so you control it and I guess you could mirror/backup to your own site to ensure reliability of access (I'm surmising that last bit)
This is the future of the user oriented web. Let's take back our data!

If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.

How technology is destroying jobs. David Rotman at Technology Review presents his own summary of Brynjolfsson & McAfee's main idea describing the situation. "Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence, according to Brynjolfsson, is a chart that only an economist could love. In economics, productivity—the amount of economic value created for a given unit of input, such as an hour of labor—is a crucial indicator of growth and wealth creation. It is a measure of progress. On the chart Brynjolfsson likes to show, separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. The pattern is clear: as businesses generated more value from their workers, the country as a whole became richer, which fueled more economic activity and created even mor... more »

Hegel remarks somewhere that all Australian Liberal party prime ministers appear, so to speak, twice.
He forgot to add: the first time as farce, the second time as mind-bending loop-the-loop ultra-farce.

Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society.

The new iOS7 design looks rushed because it was. This is probably the main thing that Apple borrowed from Google.
Launch first, iterate later.
