Rough TyThe cloud's Chrome lining in General
02-Sep-2008Google's release today of a test version of its new open-source web browser, Chrome, marks an important moment in the ongoing shift of personal computing from the PC hard drive to the Internet "cloud." I distinctly remember when, back in 1988, Apple Computer added MultiFinder to its Macintosh operating system, allowing my beloved Mac Plus to run more than one application at a time. That was, for u [..] Read complete article Visit The cloud's Chrome lining
Rough TyMachine head in General
20-Aug-2008I saw that Amazon's chief technology officer, Werner Vogels, has picked up on the album-a-year meme over at his blog. It seems to me that a guy who's running a heavy-metal utility computing operation should be a serious headbanger, and Vogels, I'm relieved to say, does not disappoint. Fresh Cream, Live at Leeds, Back in Black, Raising Hell, Appetite for Destruction, Nevermind, Rage Against the Mac [..] Read complete article Visit Machine head

Rough TyEasy does it in General
12-Aug-2008A recent edition of Science featured a worrying paper by University of Chicago sociologist James A. Evans titled Electronic Publication and the Narrowing of Science and Scholarship. Seeking to learn more about how research is conducted online, Evans scoured a database of 34 million articles from science journals. He discovered a paradox: as journals begin publishing online, making it easier for re [..] Read complete article Visit Easy does it

Rough Ty"Is Google Making Us Stupid?": sources and notes in General
07-Aug-2008Since the publication of my essay Is Google Making Us Stupid? in The Atlantic, I?ve received several requests for pointers to sources and related readings. I?ve tried to round them up below. The essay builds on my book The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google, particularly the final chapter, ?iGod.? The essential theme of both the essay and the book ? that our technologies change [..] Read complete article Visit

19-Jul-2008Discussions of my Atlantic article, Is Google Making Us Stupid?, continue. Edge has been hosting a forum with comments from Danny Hillis, Kevin Kelly, Larry Sanger, George Dyson, Jaron Lanier, and Douglas Rushkoff. This past week the Britannica Blog launched a forum with posts from Clay Shirky, Sven Birkerts, Matthew Battles, and Sanger. I also contributed a reply to Shirky's piece....

Rough TyThe cloud's not-so-silver lining in General
18-Jul-2008At Business Week, Sarah Lacy has a good article on the daunting challenges that software-as-a-service companies face as they try to build vibrant, profitable businesses. Some traditional software powerhouses, like SAP, are spending a lot to develop web versions of their applications, but they have little to show for the investments so far. Pursuing two radically different business models simultane [..] Read complete article Visit The cloud's not-so-silver lining
Rough TyAlbums going steady in General
16-Jul-2008Over at The Gaping Silence, Phil Edwards picks up the challenge of listing "a favorite album for every year of your life." I'm definitely game for this game, though, like Phil and for precisely the same reason, I'm going to begin the list a few years after the year I was born. There are two restrictions: only one album per year (painful!) and no repeats of artists. Here goes: 1965: The Beatles, Ru [..] Read complete article Visit Albums going steady

Rough TyEncryption and the law in General
25-Jun-2008The rise of cloud computing raises a lot of legal issues, and one of the thorniest involves the variations in national laws governing the storage and use of personal and other information. Controls on data threaten, for instance, to prevent certain information from being stored in data centers outside a user's home country, hence eroding some of the efficiencies promised by a global cloud. And yet [..] Read complete article Visit Encryption and the law

23-Jun-2008Back in 1993, Eric Schmidt, then the Sun kid, now the Google dad, wrote in an email to the telecosmic George Gilder: "When the network becomes as fast as the processor, the computer hollows out and spreads across the network."

Wikipedia's new slogan
Wikipedia has long promoted itself as "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." But Jimmy Wales offers a new, circumscribed slogan in a column in today's Observer. Wikipedia is now, according to Wales, "the online encyclopedia in which any reasonable person can join us in writing and editing entries on any encyclopedic topic." The old slogan was the language of the bazaar. The new one is the l [..] Read complete article
