littleBits, a growing library of preassembled circuitboards, made easy by tiny magnets!

littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.

what concerns me is the question if this is going to keep working or not? For some time I thought spotlight-comments-based Tags would be a solution – and later have run into growing difficulties, Quicksilver not 100% working any more with Tags, TagBot occasionally overwriting Tags, the TagBot people simply going away etc. etc.

There was SpotMeta (which, if I recall right did use a similar "Xattr"-solution ) but with Leopard that was not compatible and not developed anymore. I intend to go with Apples further development of OSX (as long as my machine is going to support this) but I want to be at least assured that the people who implement this new scheme will make everything possible to make it likely that it wil continue to work in the reasonably future. Michael didn't start fear in my heart, he just gave me a starting point to ask these questions. (By the way I have asked a similar question the Tags-people, a question based on my past experiences with tagging solutions)

“Over time, Autodesk became almost unmanageable. Why? Autodesk was run very democratically. People met. They discussed things. Many flowers bloomed. But nobody harvested.”

You can replace Autodesk with any other big company name, more or less. Growing is hard and painful.

Google researchers caution that the expansion of the social Web and our growing involvement with it is compromising our privacy while offering the false sense of security that we act in the privacy of our own social circle.
