the cost of monoculture - Gen Kanai weblog
by karlcow
What would you say if I told you that there was a nation that was at the forefront of technology, an early adopter of ecommerce, leading the world in 3G mobile adoption, in wireless broadband, in wired broadband adoption, as well as in citizen-driven media. Sounds like an amazing place, right? Technology utopia?

UgoTrade » Blog Archive » Is it “OMG Finally” for Augmented Reality?: Interview with Robert Rice
by karlcow
We absolutely need some standards. I think this will occur mostly through user adoption of something over something else. If we try to force a standard through meetings, committees, conferences, consortiums, etc. I think we will end up with something top heavy and handicapped.

Re: [svg-developers] Google working on Javascript drop-in enabling SVG o
by karlcow
I'm working on this here at Google as part of a group focused on Open Web Advocacy. I'm using Flash to do the rendering and tricks with an Internet Explorer technology called Behaviors to support both static and JavaScript scriptable dynamic SVG. It will be open source. I'm working with James Hight (Zavoo Labs) on it. I probably have about 6 more months of work - I'm not completely ready to be public yet. I'll post more details as things firm up. One other aspect of the library is it allows you to embed SVG into normal non- XHTML on all browsers (the browsers native SVG support is used on all browsers except for IE). I identfied the inability to embed SVG into normal HTML as one of SVGs impediments to adoption so the library helps with that as well.

HTML 5 Editor Ian Hickson discusses features, pain points, adoption rate, and more
by marco
HTML4 requires alt but doesn't give any advice about how to use it. With HTML5, I added a long section that describes how to use it in detail and said that in some cases (e.g., webcams), there might not be any useful replacement text, and so it would be ok in those cases (and only those cases) to omit the attribute. This caused a firestorm of protest from so-called accessibility experts.
10 Principles of the PHP Masters - NETTUTS
by kasi77
& 2 others
With PHP's widespread adoption,it's almost too easy to find a script or snippet to do exactly what you need. Unfortunately, there's no filter as to what is a "good practice" and what's, well... not so good when writing a PHP script. We need trustworthy sources, who have proven they have a solid grasp on the best practices of PHP.
We need PHP masters to show us the best principles to follow for high-grade PHP programming.

Digital Initiatives :: Xmlui = Manakin
by parmentierf
DSpace Manakin is a user interface developed by Texas A&M University which supports major improvements for the DSpace system. The primary feature added by Manakin is the ability for each community and collection within DSpace to establish a unique look-and-feel that might extend outside of DSpace into an existing web presence. We believe that this will increase the adoption of DSpace by these communities.

Widgets: The Future of Online Ads
by sbrothier
The sheer volume of Web sites has grown so overwhelming that an increasing number of consumers—not just those in their 20s—are adopting multipurpose tools to help them manage and personalize the vast amount of data thrown at them every day. The mainstream adoption of online social networks such as Facebook and MySpace and personalized home pages such as iGoogle and Netvibes reflects attempts by consumers to make the Web more manageable. This new mindset, not surprisingly, also holds for the way in which the audience is willing to engage with ads.

It is an exciting time for Subversion as its adoption continues at a dizzying pace in enterprises.

Hopefully these will be useful to many of you.

KITE, le kit des travailleurs européens mobiles
by pac-recrutement
Face aux problèmes d’adoption à grande échelle du cadre unique pour la transparence des qualifications et des compétences, la facilité avec laquelle les acteurs individuels et organisationnels pourront s’approprier l’ensemble des instruments qui intègrent l’Europass -sans un processus lourd d’adaptation au changement- sera un facteur déterminant de l’adoption massive.
C’est pourquoi KITE a pour objectif d’évaluer l’impact potentiel de l’incorporation des blogs sur le processus d’adoption de l’Europass-CV. Le but étant d’évaluer la pertinence de l’outil comme facilitateur de son adoption à grande échelle : les usages et les comportements des utilisateurs ainsi que les implications sociales, économiques et politiques dérivées.

posh-fr - Microformats
by parmentierf

Le terme html sémantique peut intimider par sa longueur et donne une fausse mauvaise impression de sa simplicité, de sa bonne adoption par les designers web modernes, et les avantages qu'il possède vont bien au delà de développer pour le web comme il faut en utilisant un balisage sémantique. Nous avons besoin d'un terme court et facile à retenir qui capte l'essence du concept, et soit facile à conjuguer. CHIC a été proposé par Kevin Marks et la déclinaison de l'acronyme Code HTML Intrinsèquement Classe proposée par Stéphane Gigandet colle bien au sens du 'POSH'.
