Wired News coverage

Wired News coverage

of the US Court of Appeals decision to strike the FCC order to require manufacturers to limit functionality in devices they sell: Court Nixes ‘Broadcast Flag’. This is very big news, and will likely have an impact on this side of the border as well.

More on Tiger:

More on Tiger:

One of my favourite things since intalling Tiger has been the new version of Apple’s web browser, Safari RSS. The RSS stuff is fine, though I’m sticking with NetNewsWire, but what I really like is the speed and integration of Safari, and the fact that you can finally import bookmarks from other browsers. For now, I’ve switched from Firefox, though it’s a close competition between the two.

Wish list for Safari: I would love it if in-page searching was accessed through a search bar integrated into the main browser window, as Firefox does it currently.

Zeldman has posted

an interesing followup to his earlier article on folksonomies and tagging in general: Remove Forebrain and Serve: Tag Clouds II. “The intellectual problem is that tag clouds create a data world where subtopics are detached from their parents; where the very notion of parent/child relations no longer exists. The counter-argument is, who cares?”
