Linked Internet UI | Nokia Research Center
We have developed a functional demo of our research UI concept that runs on a Nokia Maemo development device. It consists of a custom-built web runtime on top of QTWebKit, the Linked Internet UI Platform, written using HTML5, JavaScript, and a SQL database backend. The platform supports online and offline operation and is able to synchronize data with services for efficient offline use. Our current prototype supports Flickr, Ovi, Twitter, among others for demonstration and user evaluation purposes; and it can be extended to cover new views, content types, and services. The demo debuts at Nokia World 2009 in Stuttgart, Germany. The short video below shows its essential messages.

Myths about code comments - Jason in a Nutshell
It seems to me getting good at writing comments is an under-appreciated part of a Programmer's development. However, I feel that this is a part of programming that's almost as important as writing code itself.

Kindle Total Cost of Ownership: Calculating the DRM Tax | Unicom Systems Development
Although the Kindle doesn't make sense for me, your situation may be different. For instance, if you use an e-reader primarily for recreational reading, you may want to keep far fewer books than the 50%/year I used. If you read a bestseller a week, that's 52 * $10 = $520 a year. If your retention ratio is 10%/year, then your DRM tax would be about $70, which is a lot less painful.

Resizing the OpenStreetMap Planet EBS in Amazon's Cloud | Development Seed
Resizing the OpenStreetMap Planet EBS in Amazon's Cloud | Development Seed
a tiny map of the worldThis is an enormous amount of geographic data. To put it in perspective, last week's planet was bzip2 compressed at 7.4GB, unzipping to 116GB, and occupying 113GB in a PostGIS database. The process of importing the data is very serious: even with a large Amazon instance which lets me allocate five gigabytes of RAM for the importer, the initial load takes over 29 hours.

(Field)
— a development environment for making digital art
Field is an open-source software project initiated by OpenEnded Group, for the creation of their digital artworks. It is an environment for writing code to rapidly and experimentally assemble and explore algorithmic systems. It is visual, it is hybrid, it is code-based. We think that it has something to offer a diverse range of programmers and artists.
Based on ideas started at the MIT Media Lab, Field was in development in-house for around 6 years. But for the last 16 months it has been quietly available online as an open source project. We are pleased to announce the initial "beta" binary open-source releases for Intel-based Macs OS X 10.5 or 10.6.

invisible commitment - a set on Flickr
This series of abstract data visualisation represents the source code structure and work progress of a software collection. The intention was to represent the sheer volume of work put into open source software development and usually by a smal number of people.

A Central Nervous System for Earth: HP's Ambitious Sensor Network
HP Labs has joined the race to build an infrastructure for the emerging Internet of Things. The giant computing and IT services company has announced a project that aims to be a "Central Nervous System for the Earth" (CeNSE). It's a research and development program to build a planetwide sensing network, using billions of "tiny, cheap, tough and exquisitely sensitive detectors."

GeoAPI Home
GeoAPI services include a reverse geocoder; deep data about 16 million businesses and tens of thousands of points of interest; a writable layer for developers to annotate the world and do complex geo-queries; and location-enabled media layers (e.g., Twitter and Flickr). We've also recently added an iPhone SDK to speed up mobile development.
