Inventing The Future - Forbes.com
Geektalk about what technology may have in store for us next.
http://www.forbes.com/2008/03/11/etech-innovation-technology-tech-intel-cz_vb_03

Extractions: SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - If you want to see the seeds of the future, check out what people with spiky hair and multicolored eyeglasses are doing. At least, that seems the lesson to be learned at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference, held in San Diego earlier this month. The undercurrent here is that exceptions might be the next norm. "The essence of ETech is our idea that you often see the seeds of the future in places where people are having fun with technology," says Timothy O'Reilly, the founder of ETech, as well as other technology shindigs, and the publishing house that carries his name. So, no shoes? No problem. It all might seem a bit silly except for the fact that many of today's big Web trends have appeared first at past ETechs. The seeds of the Web 2.0 movement germinated at ETech, and site Flickr in 2004 debuted how people were using the site to share photos. Flickr is now owned by Yahoo!

Extractions: Inventing Torres Wolfgang Kramer Posted July, 2000 M . Kiesling and I so enjoyed developing Tikal that we decided to immediately develop a similar game but one that would be three-dimensional. This was the beginning of Torres The two games are similar in many ways: limited action points to spend each turn, scoring during the game and at the end, a scoring border to track players' scores, and a board that is empty at the beginning and develops throughout the game, eventually becoming quite complex and so developed that at the end it is completely filled. Also like Tikal , players have few opportunities for aggression against the other players, each player has several pieces, and the game is dominated by strategy and tactics. We developed the game from the middle of 1997 to the beginning of 1999, working on it almost exclusively full time until the beginning of 1998, and then sporadically, usually with the publishing house, to the beginning of 1999. At first, we looked for a suitable, attractive topic and a working title. After a long search, we decided to use the King Arthur legend. The game would be set in the Middle Ages, using the castles of Cornwall. Each player would represent a prince/king, who builds castles with several knights for the protection of the country. It would be a polite building game. Our working title was Avalon. In the legend, Avalon is the faerie island to which the heavily wounded King Arthur flees to heal his wounds and from which he one day emerges to reclaim his realm and save his people.

http://www.perkel.com/politics/gore/internet.htm

Extractions: Did Al Gore Invent the Internet? Bush runs commercials mocking Al Gore saying the he claims to have invented the Internet. Bush claims Gore is a liar and that he can't be trusted. Here's the story behind the story and you determine who is lying and who is telling the truth. The following is a terrific article written by Mountain Democrat columnist David Jacobsen. Let's say the Associated Press or Time Magazine wants to consider me for a job. I'd have to whisk together a resume that might include the following: "My column appears regularly on the award-winning editorial page of the Mountain Democrat." Of course, I had nothing to do with winning the award, earned by Editor Michael Raffety. He did, though, let me park on his illustrious page. So nobody could fault me for basking in his reflected glory. Unless, of course, I were running for president. Exhibit A is Al Gore. People eager to lie about him continue to portray him as a liar. First lie, that he claims to have "invented" the Internet. Second lie, that he claims to have "discovered" the pollution of Love Canal. Third lie, that he falsely claims to be the model for Oliver Barrett IV, hero of Love Story. Gore never claimed that he "invented" the Internet, which implies that he engineered the technology. The invention occurred in the seventies and allowed scientists in the Defense Department to communicate with each other. In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said

Extractions: Peter H. Duesberg, 'Inventing the AIDS Virus' Regnery USA 1996, 720 pages, ISBN 0-89526-470-6. HIV does not cause AIDS... AIDS is not sexually transmitted... AZT makes AIDS worse, not better... So argues Dr. Peter Duesberg, one of the world's leading microbiologists, a pioneer in the discovery of the HIV family of viruses, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Duesberg's evidence - revealed in top scientific journals but kept out of the mainstream press - raises questions the AIDS research establishment has so far declined to answer: With annual federal funding at more than $7 billion, AIDS research is better funded than any other disease - including cancer. Yet it has also produced the least results. Why? Duesberg explains how the lure of money and prestige, combined with powerful political pressures, have tempted otherwise responsible scientists to overlook - even suppress - major flaws in current AIDS theory.

Extractions: Progressive Seventh-day Adventists exploring missional and incarnational expressions of church life in a post-Christian context.

Assuming that it does, how can acknowledging this problem assist us in solving current problems relating to doctrine and policy?

http://fno.org/parenting/inventing1.html

Extractions: The sandbox is not what it used to be - neither is the back yard, the family room or the school down the street. Raising a son or daughter in these times calls for parents with skill, humor and inventiveness. While today's schools stagger under escalating criticism, conscientious parents find themselves filling in the blanks, providing their children with enriched learning excursions to offset the ditto sheet diets and dreary offerings that characterize too many of today's educational cafeterias. When change and new technologies sweep through our society, the challenge facing parents can be awesome. Will this newest bandwagon keep curiosity and a sense of wonder alive in our children? How do we raise this generation to greet the next century with flexibility, imagination and a resourceful spirit? As change becomes a constant, we need a generation which views change as an adventure, an opportunity and a benefit. We must raise a generation which has embraced a change ethic . They will thrive on change, considering it an opportunity to stretch out into the future and grow. Flexibility and problem solving can replace the GNP as the new indicators of growth of our society. Creating and responding to opportunities is an essential skill in our world today, in much the same way reading was in the eighteenth century.
No. 894: Inventing Printing
In which the Chinese invent paper, and printing with movable type.
http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi894.htm

Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 894. So: How did we really figure out how to print words on paper? The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he oldest known piece of paper was made in Shangsi Province in China around 49 BC. That's about the same time sheepskin was replacing papyrus in the Roman world. So what is paper, really? You make paper by spreading out a slurry of organic fibers and draining off the water. Paper is a kind of felt made of overlapping fibers. At first the Chinese made paper from hemp. They used it for wrapping and decoration not for writing. They'd already been wrapping themselves in felt clothing. In AD 105, one Ts'ai Lun used paper to replace bamboo blocks as a writing surface. He made it from fibers of bark, bamboo, and hemp. By AD 500, the Chinese had experimented with rattan and mulberry and had finally settled on bamboo paper.

Extractions: United States: inventing demons There is a coalition of the radical right in the United States, including the odd Democrat, that has long held that patriotic mobilisation is important in holding American society together. When detente broke out in the 1970s, these hawks worried about any reduction in international tension, however slight. Since 11 September 2001 they have had no more worries. By Philip S Golub War and militarisation would have been impossible without 11 September, which tipped the institutional balance in favour of the new right. There were other possible responses that would have had a less destabilising effect on the world. One would have been to strengthen multilateral cooperation to contain the stateless trans-national terrorist threat, and seek to reduce tensions and resolve conflicts in areas at risk, notably the Middle East. Another would have been Keynesian-style regional development on Marshall Plan lines. This would have encouraged local forces for democracy, and would undoubtedly have been more effective than war in stimulating the US and global economies. As we know, neither course was followed. Instead, the Bush administration has allowed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to fester, mobilised massively, and opted for "preventive war" as a means of policing the planet. Apart from such opportunist motives as seizing the strategic chance to redraw the map of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf (1), this choice reflects much more far-reaching imperial ambitions. In the words of Anatol Lieven of the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, "the basic and generally agreed plan is unilateral world domin ation through absolute superiority, and this has been consistently advocated and worked on by the group of intellectuals close to Dick Cheney and Richard Perle since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s" (2).

ISSN 10829873. Re-inventing the Wheel? Standards, Interoperability and Digital Cultural Content. Tony Gill Research Libraries Group tony.gill@notes.rlg.org
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january02/gill/01gill.html

Extractions: p.miller@ukoln.ac.uk Around the world, there are unprecedented funding opportunities for creating digital cultural content. However, to date there has been relatively little harmonization of the standards frameworks used in the creation, management and preservation of this content, resulting in duplication of effort, higher costs and diminished interoperability of the end results. An international group of stakeholders are hoping to address this situation by agreeing on a common set of core values and seeking to leverage existing synergies wherever possible. It will probably not come as a huge surprise to readers of this publication that there are a number of compelling arguments in favor of using digital communication networks to provide access to information, regardless of whether the information was "born digital", or represents digitally-reformatted surrogates of extant analog materials. Chief amongst the advantages of digital information over analog physical counterparts are the comparatively low costs of creation, storage, management and preservation, the theoretical absence of limits on the number of concurrent users, the relative ease with which digital materials can be re-used or re-purposed and, since the Internet is available to a small but growing percentage of the world's populace

Country United States Language English Allmovie profile IMDb profile Inventing the Abbotts is a drama film and romance film directed by Pat O'Connor , starring Joaquin Phoenix Billy Crudup Liv Tyler , and Jennifer Connelly . The screenplay by Ken Hixon is based on a short story by Sue Miller . The original music score is composed by Michael Kamen . The film is marketed with the tagline "When you want it all but can't have it, there's only one way to handle life... invent it." Julie Benz has a small role as a co-ed who gets chatted up by Jacey Holt. The lives of two closely linked families dangerously intersect in a small Illinois town in the 1950s. Basic plot is about two brothersJacey and Doug Holtgrowing up in a small town in Haley, Illinois, sons of a working single mother. As the movie progresses, we find out that their father, a reckless risk-taker, has lost his life via a bet with Lloyd Abbott, his business partner. Abbott eventually becomes the town's foremost, wealthiest and most-admired citizen. The lives of the Holts and the Abbotts are intertwined through various entanglements which we discover later in the film. Lloyd Abbott and his distant wife, Joan, are the parents of three beautiful daughters, Alice, Eleanor and Pamela.

http://www.techwarelabs.com/articles/other/mce/

Extractions: Author: Jason Jacobs Date: Topic: Other Provider: Thermaltake Manufacturer: AMD Recently I was asked why there has not been a wider acceptance of the Media Center PC and what could this particular manufacturer do about getting the community to buy more Media Center PC's. After thinking about this question I gave the manufacturer several observations which I will share with you but first I want to talk about what the Media Center PC really is. Microsoft wasn't the first to introduce the concept of the Media Center PC. In fact it was the average user that was responsible for the inception and creation of the Media Center PC. Like all large companies Microsoft saw what people were doing with their product and their PC and realized that the concept of the Media Center PC was an entirely new market which they had not tapped yet and thus MCE (Media Center Edition) was born into Windows XP. Essentially MCE was plain jane Windows XP with added functionality but still the inability to join a domain . So what you have is an operating system which allows you to record TV shows and digital media (given the proper hardware) and is designed to serve as a single point of contact for your home entertainment needs. In truth it falls far short of this purpose which is what we will discuss later.

http://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/05/fbi-terrorcops-inven.html

Extractions: Posted by Cory Doctorow , March 5, 2008 7:21 AM permalink A long investigative piece in Rolling Stone takes a hard look at the actions of the thousands of Joint Terrorism Task Forces that the FBI and local cops have convened, discovering that the supposed jihadis they stop are mostly hapless losers who get given money and plans by undercovers, or are just guys who seem suspicious and are either exonerated, or leave the country. The agents and cops that the reporter, Guy Lawson, interviews, are locked in a kind of circular reasoning "We can't tell you about the real terrorists because we'd tip our hand, but we know they're out there because when we bust people they freak out and cop please rather than going to Guantanamo. And sometimes we catch illegal immigrants, too who might be terrorists." But a closer inspection of the cases brought by JTTFs reveals that most of the prosecutions had one thing in common: The defendants posed little if any demonstrable threat to anyone or anything. According to a study by the Center on Law and Security at the New York University School of Law, only ten percent of the 619 "terrorist" cases brought by the federal government have resulted in convictions on "terrorism-related" charges âa category so broad as to be meaningless. In the past year, none of the convictions involved jihadist terror plots targeting America. "The government releases selective figures," says Karen Greenberg, director of the center. "They have never even defined 'terrorism.' They keep us in the dark over statistics."...

http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/telephone.html

Extractions: Was it Alexander Graham Bell, Elisha Gray, or Antonio Meucci? Attributing the true inventor or inventors to a specific invention can be tricky business. Often credit goes to the inventor of the most practical or best working invention rather than to the original inventor(s). This happens to be the case of the invention of the telephone! There is a lot of controversy and intrigue surrounding the invention of the telephone. There have been court cases, books, and articles generated about the subject. Of course, Alexander Graham Bell is the father of the telephone. After all it was his design that was first patented, however, he was not the first inventor to come up with the idea of a telephone. Antonio Meucci, an Italian immigrant, began developing the design of a talking telegraph or telephone in 1849. In 1871, he filed a caveat (an announcement of an invention) for his design of a talking telegraph. Due to hardships, Meucci could not renew his caveat. His role in the invention of the telephone was overlooked until the United States House of Representatives passed a Resolution on June 11, 2002, honoring Meucci's contributions and work (To read the report search
