Pearltrees is a new visual bookmarking tool that utilizes a mind map-like interface to help you to organize your web page shortcuts in a much more intuitive way than the typical browser bookmark list. It also enables you to connect with other users who share similar interests, which places it in the same camp as other social bookmarking tools. But Pearltrees is different – very different. Before I can explain how it works, we first need to get a bit of terminology out of the way: Pearl: A pearl represents a link to a web page.

Mind Uploading: Artificial Reality
Most people seem to assume that if you've scanned someone's mind into a computer, the natural thing to do is make an environment in the computer for the patient to live in. Though this is sometimes called "virtual reality," I prefer to use "artificial reality" to avoid confusion with the current generation of immersion-interface for us biological (non-uploaded) folks. Artificial realities would probably come in varying degrees of realism -- to duplicate the patient's familiar world, you'd have to calculate wind currents, light reflections, gravity, friction, and so on, as well as the effect all of these have on the senses. Then you'd have to interpret activity in the motor neurons of the simulated nervous system, to update the patient's simulated body position. These will be difficult, and will never perfectly match the real world, but it is reasonable to suppose that algorithmic shortcuts will be found which generate results that are "good enough".Artificial reality was the term Myron W. Krueger used to describe his interactive immersive environments, based on video recognition techniques, that put a user in full, unencumbered contact with the digital world. He started this work in the late 1960s and is considered to be a key figure in the early innovation of virtual reality . His first book Artificial Reality was published in 1983 and updated in Artificial Reality II in 1991 (both published by Addison-Wesley ).

The best PS3 controller ever? - SlashGear
A new patent from Sony has shown up, and it looks very interesting. It’s for a new way to interact with the PS3, and it’s a bit early to say, but I think I’m in love. It is labeled as a VR/3-D controller and not only detects where exactly your hands are, but there are sensors that can tell exactly where each of your individual fingers are. This would allow you to grasp objects within a game just from mimicking the motions with your hands. It would also include tactile feedback so you know when you’ve grasped or touched an object. This just sounds really cool.

CES: Sony's future is 3D and online, says CEO Howard Stringer |

But even though we now watch television over our computers, on high definition flatscreens or even on our iPods, we have still only seen the tip of the iceberg. That's according to Japanese electronics giant Sony , which today unveiled a pair of futuristic glasses that project 3D video onto the lens while still allowing you to see the world around you. The glasses, which are still a prototype, were among the products that Sony unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – one of the technology industry's largest showcases, where more than 2,700 exhibitors show off their latest gadgets.Enterprise 3.0

Case Study: NASA’s Expertise Location Service Powered by Semanti
Introduction NASA collects and stores information regarding an employee’s organizational affiliation, work history, evidence of skills, and details to derive with whom the employee has worked. The problem is that this information is fragmented across different databases, application silos, and other systems. If you are searching for an individual with unique skills and work history, you need to query across multiple systems. Even if such queries were easy, most people would still want to ask for a personal reference from someone they trusted.
On October 18, 2011, Oracle announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Endeca, a leading provider of unstructured data management, web commerce and business intelligence solutions. The transaction closed on December 5, 2011. Oracle with Endeca plans to create a comprehensive technology platform to process, store, manage, search and analyze structured and unstructured information together enabling businesses to make stronger and more profitable decisions. The combination of Oracle ATG Commerce with Endeca's InFront web commerce solutions is expected to enhance cross-channel commerce, merchandising, and online customer experiences.

Enterprise search is the practice of making content from multiple enterprise-type sources, such as databases and intranets, searchable to a defined audience. [ edit ] Enterprise search summary "Enterprise Search" is used to describe the software of search information within an enterprise (though the search function and its results may still be public). [ 1 ] Enterprise search can be contrasted with web search , which applies search technology to documents on the open web, and desktop search , which applies search technology to the content on a single computer. Enterprise search systems index data and documents from a variety of sources such as: file systems , intranets , document management systems , e-mail , and databases . Many enterprise search systems integrate structured and unstructured data in their collections. [ 2 ] Enterprise search systems also use access controls to enforce a security policy on their users.

Solr is the popular, blazing fast open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling, and geospatial search. Solr is highly scalable, providing distributed search and index replication, and it powers the search and navigation features of many of the world's largest internet sites. Solr is written in Java and runs as a standalone full-text search server within a servlet container such as Tomcat. Solr uses the Lucene Java search library at its core for full-text indexing and search, and has REST-like HTTP/XML and JSON APIs that make it easy to use from virtually any programming language. Solr's powerful external configuration allows it to be tailored to almost any type of application without Java coding, and it has an extensive plugin architecture when more advanced customization is required.

SharePoint Search vs Google
If the organisation in question already has licenses for MOSS via Software Assurance, Open License etc then it's a bit of a no-brainer because they get MOSS Search functionality for free! Is it really only about Search? Especially relevant if they already have some version of SharePoint, because they are already getting value out of the collaboration and content management features so going MOSS is probably a natural progression anyway. If they don't have SharePoint, then consider this - it's great to be able to search for stuff, but if the users don't attach relevant meta-data to the 'stuff' then the search becomes a full-text kind of thing (although SharePoint does a pretty good job of this anyway, see below). So getting people to put their documents into SharePoint and enforcing meta-data capture at the same time is only going to improve the relevency of results! All that on top of the fact that you get the collaboration, workflow, content management OOB too!Huddle Spaces
