The strangest, easiest way to lose weight

2006-05-07T23:15:00.000+02:00

The strangest, easiest way to lose weight: "You must MUST be able to find at least one two-hour time window each day where you have nothing but water. Nothing with any flavor of any kind is allowed--NO EXCEPTIONS--during that period, including brushing your teeth. For most people, two hours is no problem at all... but you have to be extremely careful or you risk not just eliminating the positive effect, but potentially ruining your chance of using it correctly in the future."

Collaborative Software Testing: Reckless Test Automation

2006-04-14T20:21:00.000+02:00

Collaborative Software Testing: Reckless Test Automation: "When automating, look at what you gain by automating, and what you lose by automating a test. Remember, until computers become intelligent, we can't automate testing, only tasks related to testing. Also, as we move further away from the code context, it usually becomes more difficult to automate tests, and the trade-offs have greater implications."

DRM shortens iPod battery life

2006-03-19T18:46:00.000+01:00

DRM shortens iPod battery life: "Playing DRM-crippled music will shorten the battery life of your music-player. Listening to DRMed iTunes songs on an iPod shortens the battery life by eight percent; playing back WMA-crippled files on a device from Creative Labs can knock 25 percent off the life of your device's battery. The extra battery-drain is attributed to the computation necessary to decrypt the files and verify their licenses."

AppZapper, the missing uninstaller for OSX

2006-03-15T00:42:00.000+01:00

AppZapper, the missing uninstaller for OSX: "AppZapper is an uninstaller for OS X that not only removes an app, but searches your hard drive for any traces of it to remove as well. Not only does it help keep your system clean and save hard drive space, after using it today I have to admit there's a bit of fun when you 'zap' an application. There is a satisfying flash and zap noise that prompted me to delete three or four unused apps just to hear it again."

Flickr has some catching up to do

2006-03-12T10:34:00.000+01:00

Flickr has some catching up to do: "Zooomr has a similar interface as flickr but does a lot more. You can choose to create an account or just use one of five other credentials to set up an account (Level9, OpenID, LiveJournal, Google (Gmail) or Meetro. The functionality is the same. Zooomr also offers the site in 15 languages.

The real benefit of zooomr is the wide variety of metadata that can be associated with a photo. Any photo can have an audio annotation, although recording functionality is not yet built into zooomr and so you must do this from your camera or an audio program and upload it separately. Zooomr has a built in flash player to listen to the annotation. You can also associate any person with a photo (something you can?t do on flickr, where you can only tag a photo with a person?s name if you like), and there is very tight integration with Google maps to allow geographic information to be included with a photo. If a lot of photos are geo tagged in a specific place at the same time, zooomr assumes they are part of an event even if the photos are all from different users."

Social Media (Digg, Last.fm, Newsvine, Tagworld, YouTube)

Mashups and Filters (Bloglines, Eurekster, Simply Hired, Technorati, Trulia, Wink)

The New Phone (Fonality, SIPphone, iotum, Vivox)

The Webtop (JotSpot, 30Boxes, 37Signals, Writely, Zimbra)

Under the Hood (Brightcove, Jigsaw, Salesforce.com, SimpleFeed, Six Apart).

We also added an incumbent to watch for each category (Yahoo, Google, eBay/Skype, Microsoft, and Amazon, respectively)."

WATiR: Web Application Testing in Ruby: "WATiR (Web Application Testing in Ruby) is being demoed by Angrez Singh from Persistent Systems now at delhibarcamp. It looks like a compelling way to generate test scripts for web applications. You turn it on, use the web application according to your test, and it automatically generates Ruby script that will replicate the action. You can also write the script yourself. The API looks pretty simple and well-designed. This would work for any application, you don't need to use RUBY in your development."

iPods increase performance?

2006-02-26T21:57:00.000+01:00

iPods increase performance?: "But at the very least, music (or even white noise) can help you focus and concentrate and stay in flow by blocking out other distractions. The problem with higher-level cognition and music is when the music itself becomes too distracting, so I normally prefer music with no or very unobtrusive vocals if I need to think. If it's just about staying awake, give me something faster than my heart beat!"

La SGAE pretende además que Apple no sólo pague el canon a partir de ahora, sino que pretende que pague ese canon por cada uno de los iPods que ha vendido hasta ahora.

En Francia Apple paga un canon similar que supone unos seis euros por iPod."

UK anti-piracy officer assures Firefox she'll catch the pirates who copy it: "A Trading Standards officer in a town in the UK contacted the Mozilla foundation to assure it that she'd caught the icky pirates who were copying Firefox without permission. When the Mozzers explained free software and copyleft, the officer lost it -- 'I can't believe that your company would allow people to make money from something that you allow people to have free access to. Is this really the case? If Mozilla permit the sale of copied versions of its software, it makes it virtually impossible for us, from a practical point of view, to enforce UK anti-piracy legislation, as it is difficult for us to give general advice to businesses over what is/is not permitted.'"

Google Enterprise

2006-02-03T05:41:00.000+01:00

Google Enterprise: "If Google's earnings miss tells us anything it is that it needs to find some serious new lines of revenue. For all of its cool products that it seems to launch every week, none of them outside of search ads are making much, if any, money. Here's my latest column on why Google should become a platform for online enterprise software apps and take on SAP (which is about to launch its own online CRM service) and Salesforce.com. Excerpt:

Think of the range of small-business customers, from architects to plumbers to restaurant owners, as well as the diverse jobs they need software to doâ€”payroll, inventory management, sales leads, you name it. Google could provide the underlying technology platform to support all of these applications. And if it does, thousands of entrepreneurs would flock to Google's platform to create and deliver those applications. The world of conventional, shrink-wrapped software would shudder."

A Google Bubble

2006-02-03T05:26:00.000+01:00

A Google Bubble: "There are several criticisms of the company, with this being the one I keep harping on to friends:

Hubris and the assumption that technology can solve every problem. This is a classic mistake that we saw in the first Internet bubbleâ€”the blind assumption that the â€œnew worldâ€� is going to completely replace the â€œold world.â€� But the reality is, no amount of technology can completely replace the web of relationships in an industry such as advertising.

As an outsider reading about Google, they seem to have the problem of taking their technology hammer and viewing every problem as a nail. As I pointed out before, they may be hiring the best and brightest techies, but I haven't read about them hiring the best and brightest in any other fields. Good technology does not necessarily equal good business."

The big move

2006-02-03T05:13:00.000+01:00

The big move: "Interestingly, many great players from other guilds have joined the exodus and are joining our guild on the new server. It looks like our guild will be larger and possibly more unified after our move. However, I think several of our core guild members won't be able to leave their friends and family and many of those who are moving will be leaving their best friends. Watching all of the sobbing and heartfelt goodbyes to our friends on Khadgar reminds me of some sort of mass displacement... like a whole clan deciding to move to the New World..."

Esto suena interesante: "VÃa Slashdot, llego a Push!Music, un proyecto que suena interesantÃsimo: te instalas un software en cualquier dispositivo portÃ¡til con WiFi y que tenga la capacidad de almacenar y reproducir mÃºsica y, en funciÃ³n de las caracterÃsticas de tu colecciÃ³n de mÃºsica estimadas como proxy de tus gustos, intercambia canciones con otros dispositivos cercanos. Las canciones literalmente 'saltan' espontÃ¡nea y anÃ³nimamente de un dispositivo a otro, en funciÃ³n de los gustos de los dueÃ±os de los dispositivos y, por supuesto, al margen de toda restricciÃ³n."

Pues nada, si Google News lo hace, otros tambiÃ©n pueden hacÃ©rselo: Newzingo es una aplicaciÃ³n que toma la informaciÃ³n mostrada por Google News, y la muestra en forma de tagcloud, o nube de palabras clave, para una visualizaciÃ³n mÃ¡s rÃ¡pida e intuitiva.

Google Smashes the Walled Garden

2005-12-21T18:47:00.000+01:00

Google Smashes the Walled Garden: " Bill Burnham has an excellent post about the implications of Google Base on walled-garden listing-type sites such as eBay, Match.com, Monster.com, and Realtor.com. His thesis is that the rise of self publishing on the Web (for both businesses and individuals), pervasive search, and RSS feeds will soon combine together to make such paid listing sites less relevant.

That is where Google Base comes in, which he points out is an XML database, meaning that it can automatocally exchange data with other Websites. Burnham thinks that Google Base is going to suck up all the listings data out there on the Web and automatically generate new listings directories such as Google Cars, Google Jobs, and Google Houses. And that will leave the current paid listings sites, as well as certain vertical search startups, in a world of hurt."

Â¿Innovar o publicitar?

2005-12-16T06:06:00.000+01:00

Â¿Innovar o publicitar?: "AsÃ, vemos como en fases tempranas de la evoluciÃ³n de un producto, los esfuerzos de los competidores se centran en innovar para diferenciarse, en el mercado, por sus caracterÃsticas intrÃnsecas: nuevas funcionalidades, nuevos diseÃ±os, etc. Sin embargo, a medida que un producto va alcanzando su madurez y el margen para la innovaciÃ³n es menor (o, simplemente, mÃ¡s difÃcil), el esfuerzo inversor de las compaÃ±Ãas deja de centrarse en ello para orientarse hacia la publicidad, con el objetivo de diferenciarse en el mercado por caracterÃsticas extrÃnsecas o subjetivas: la percepciÃ³n del consumidor o del canal de distribuciÃ³n.

Nuenen y el futuro

Nuenen y el futuro: " Leo en el blog de Hector Milla (gracias, Pedro) el caso de Nuenen, una ciudad holandesa al este de Eindhoven en la que el 97% de sus habitantes se han organizado en cooperativa, OnsNet (en holandÃ©s), han designado una empresa para gestionar el servicio de conectividad en banda ancha y han cableado el pueblo con FTTH de 100Mbps. Es un pueblo pequeÃ±o, la cooperativa la forman siete mil quinientos socios, pero se va a extender a localidades vecinas y se prevÃ© su duplicaciÃ³n en breve. Plantearon el coste, lo dividieron entre los interesados - salÃa a ochocientos euros por domicilio o empresa - pero fueron capaces de conseguir subvenciones, con lo que han conseguido cubrir el coste de despliegue y que el primer aÃ±o no pague nadie. Ofrecen triple play (TV, telefonÃa y acceso a Internet), retransmiten partidos de fÃºtbol locales, hacen telemedicina, televigilancia y administraciÃ³n electrÃ³nica, eLearning... habiendo infraestructura, las posibilidades son inacabables."

Top Ten Startup Rules

2005-11-28T23:24:00.000+01:00

Top Ten Startup Rules: "Evan Williams, founder of podcasting startup Odeo (and before that Pyra Labs of Blogger fame), shares his top-ten rules for startups. I especially like #3, 'Be Casual.' Excerpts below:

#1: Be Narrow Focus on the smallest possible problem you could solve that would potentially be useful. Small things, like a microscopic world, almost always turn out to be bigger than you think when you zoom in.

#2: Be Different
Ideas are in the air. There are lots of people thinking aboutâ€”and probably working onâ€”the same thing you are. And one of them is Google. Deal with it.

#3: Be Casual
We're moving into what I call the era of the 'Casual Web' (and casual content creation). This is much bigger than the hobbyist web or the professional web. Why? Because people have lives. And now, people with lives also have broadband. If you want to hit the really big home runs, create services that fit in withâ€”and, indeed, helpâ€”people's everyday lives without requiring lots of commitment or identity change.

#4: Be Picky
It applies to everything you do: features, employees, investors, partners, press opportunities."

Esto ha ido demasiado lejos

Esto ha ido demasiado lejos: "Esto ha ido demasiado lejos. Estamos siendo atacados a un nivel inaudito. Es el momento de ponernos serios y hacer algo. Yo por mi parte empezarÃ© con una andanada de artÃculos en medios masivos, porque creo que el pÃºblico en general estÃ¡ en estado de total ignorancia, y no tienen ni idea de lo que es un rootkit ni de los turbios movimientos de la industria, pero creo que hay quye hacer algo mÃ¡s. Algo mÃ¡s serio, que llame mÃ¡s la atenciÃ³n, que les dÃ© mÃ¡s miedo, que los devuelva a su sitio. Son simples mercaderes fracasados, y se han creÃdo que nos pueden dominar, hacer y deshacer con las leyes y los polÃticos, y regular el mundo a su antojo."
