Ever since seeing ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ I have been fascinated by artificial languages. This article describes ‘SOLRESOL,’ the first real attempt and quantifying a concise artificial language. This is super cool!
São Paulo - Entre a competição feroz de serviços internacionais e a falta de investimentos, o mercado de Web 2.0 nacional se apóia no gosto do usuário brasileiro por comunidades.
O termo Web 2.0 tomou forma no final de 2005 não apenas se propondo a oferecer ferramentas que ajudassem o usuário a interagir com o conteúdo online, como o pesquisador Tim O’Reilly definiu o conceito.
E, como todo conceito, uma nova onda de empresas e serviços chegaram ao mercado de internet. São aplicações online, que libertam o usuário do desktop e do sistema operacional, e, na maioria das vezes, permite a colaboração e participação intensiva do internauta na construção do conteúdo.

Você gosta do Flickr, serviço de fotos do Yahoo!? Conhece o Digg, site onde o usuário manda o conteúdo e vota nas notícias mais importantes? Gosta de usar o Writley, do Google, para escrever os seus textos? Bem-vindo, você está na era da Web 2.0.

A crafty MIT student, has just completed the latest iteration in a series of upgrades to his dorm room door lock. Now because MIT’s administration doesn’t like it if you hack the door locks or the strike plates, Dheera needed an innovative way to enter his own room without using a key. He’s gone through a series of various door-opening mechanisms over the last couple of years — our favorite one required scanning a barcode on a box of EZ Mac to gain entry — but he’s finally settled on the simplest design, a computer-less setup that involves a microcontroller, a motor, and a PS/2 (waterproof) keyboard. (He’s got a much more technical explanation, including a circuit diagram and drivers on his website, in case your SO / parents / kids also have rules about messing with your house). We’re now taking bets on how long it takes his MIT classmates to crack his password.

Companies like Google and Microsoft give away free software as a courtesy to their users to hook more people on their services (”free as in beer.”) But open source organizations are often non-profit and made up of volunteer developers who release free software because they believe users have a right to control their data (”free as in speech.”)
This tutorial explains how to use the phpFlickr API to interact with Flickr and display photos on a web site.
The MPAA made it clear that if he just paid them $2,500, they would forget the whole thing — which certainly has the feel of extortion. So, Hogan decided to fight the case in court to prove they were wrong, and said he wouldn’t let them back out and run like they’ve done in other cases.
We found this in the way, way, way back machine while cruising though Bloglines last night. If you are writing anything at all, odds are you’ll improve your skills by spending some time at the Poynter Institute. So without delay, here is a list of a whopping 50 articles that we should all read.

“Today Digg made a major modification to their algorithm. With thousands stories being listed on Digg everyday it seemed like too many mediocre ones were making the front page, so it appears that Digg modified their algorithm (or the algorithm automatically modified itself) for stories to require more diggs before they hit the front page.”
