Geotagging: Three Dimensions off our Virtual Future
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006Nick Hodge, Flickr.com, Geotagged: spent the greater part of today geotagging my images stored in Flickr. Geotagging is the addition of spacial or geographical metadata (that is: latitude and longitude) to my uploaded images. The four cameras I've used do not have GPS, so this geotagging caper is a manual post-processing effort.
The resolution of the [...]

Being the Forest, Forgetting the Trees
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006Microsoft is on the cusp of shipping a whole forest of new products. Vista, .Net 3.0, Office 2007 and *.live.com stuff than you can poke a branch/stick at.

A/UX 3.0: Apple’s first Unix OS
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006History revisionists state that Apple had to buy NeXT as they could not write their own pre-emptive/protected memory OS.
Apple A/UX 3.0 integrated the best of System 7 and Unix. Maybe not the latest Unix available at that time, nor on the fastest hardware; nor with the best driver support. But it rocked for its [...]
