Now Google thinks that we don't need anything more than a browser for real time communications as well. So throw away that chat client, sorry IM client, VoIP client, phone, video chat etc.

Q&A: Why money doesn't motivate file-sharers | Interviews

By Nicole Kobie Posted on 7 Dec 2010 at 11:06 Piracy is so difficult to battle because file-sharers are motivated by altruism and not financial gain, according to one academic. Joe Cox, an economist at the Portsmouth Business School, believes file-sharers who post content online see themselves as the "Robin Hoods of the digital age," according to a study he's published in the journal Information Economics and Policy . Such insight could help drive policy and find ways to prevent illegal downloads, he claims. We spoke to him to find out more. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/interviews/363418/q-a-why-money-doesnt-motivate-file-sharers

It's not because I've asked Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart about government secrets gushing from the leaky pipe that is Wikileaks. Or creepy Internet stalkers who collect personal information from giant Web utilities such as Facebook or Google. Or even because I stuck my nose into her private life.

Why Broadband Prices Haven’t Decreased - Creating the first broadband consumer price index

After a new technology is introduced to the market, there is usually a predictable decrease in price as it becomes more common. Laptops experienced precipitous price drops during the past decade. Digital cameras, personal computers, and computer chips all followed similar steep declines in price.

http://www.adviso.ca/blog/ Dans mes fonctions de tous les jours il n’est pas rare que j’aie à analyser et comparer des sites mobiles pour divers clients dans des industries tout aussi nombreuses que diverses. Dans mon cas le but n'est pas de faire du debugging de sites, mais bien d’aller chercher de l’inspiration aux quatre coins du Web. Évidemment, rien ne vaut le réalisme de l’utilisation d’un appareil mobile en programmes et en pièces pour naviguer un site... fait pour le mobile!

Why Advertising Is Failing On The Internet

Editor’s note : The following is a guest post by Eric Clemons , Professor of Operations and Information Management at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In it, he argues that the Internet shatters all forms of advertising. “The problem is not the medium, the problem is the message, and the fact that it is not trusted, not wanted, and not needed,” he writes. The views he expresses are his own, and we present them here to foster debate. (Obviously, we hope there is a place for advertising on the Internet since it pays our bills). http://techcrunch.com/2009/03/22/why-advertising-is-failing-on-the-internet/
