People will be able to control and federate their own data
Authored by John Clippinger
John Clippinger, who directs the Law Lab at Harvard University, predicts a huge shift over the next one to two years in the way people manage their identities. He asserts that "user-centric identity, "the ability of individuals to carry their information from one site to another in a "cloud" of their own making, will become increasingly important.

Twitter Support :: Trouble uploading profile or background images
by night.kame
Twitter is currently tackling some problems with profile images. As of now, people are having trouble with adding new images (they don't upload) or removing images (they don't delete.) Others have seen a sudden shift from their current image to an old image used before.
Depuis deux mois, Twitter a du mal avec l'upload d'images. Une centaine de personnes ayant rencontré le bug se sont manifestées dans les commentaires. Visiblement, c'est difficile à corriger l'upload de fichier en Ruby on Rails.

The places we live
by gregg
& 2 others
The year 2008 has witnessed a major shift in the way people across the world live: for the first time in human history more people live in cities than in rural areas. This triumph of the urban, however, does not entirely represent progress, as the number of people living in urban slums—often in abject conditions—will soon exceed one billion. From 2005 to 2007 Jonas Bendiksen documented life in the slums of four different cities: Nairobi, Kenya; Mumbai, India; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Caracas, Venezuela. His lyrical images capture the diversity of personal histories and outlooks found in these dense neighborhoods that, despite commonly held assumptions, are not simply places of poverty and misery. Yet, slum residents continuously face enormous challenges, such as the lack of health care, sanitation, and electricity. The Places We Live includes twenty double-gatefold images, each representing an individual home and its denizen’s story. Through its innovative design and experiential approach, The Places We Live brings the modern-day Dickensian reality of these individuals into sharp focus.

Niall Ferguson, respected economic historian, warns of other European countries facing an Iceland style bankruptcy. 'Switzerland is first in line… and Britain is not far behind,' he says.
While many politicians in Europe like to shift the blame for the credit crisis to the U.S. Niall points out that excessive lending and leveraging was much more endemic in countries such as Germany and the U.K.
Yet the U.K Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, like many European politicians continues to argue that the world is being brought down by a U.S. caused recession.

Building Semantic Web CRUD operations using PHP
by parmentierf
Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations are the most basic database operations, but they are also the most crucial. CRUD operations are typically done using the Structured Query Language (SQL) on relational database systems. As the Web is becoming more and more data-oriented, there is a need to shift from SQL-based CRUD operations to Semantic Web-based CRUD operations. Learn how to use PHP to perform CRUD operations over the Semantic Web.

MuvEnum Address Bar Replaces the Quick-Launching Taskbar in XP SP3
by decembre
MuvEnum Address Bar Replaces the Quick-Launching Taskbar in XP SP3 Windows only: Service Pack 3 for Windows XP removed the ability of that operating system's users to keep a quick-launching address box on their taskbar session after session. MuvEnum Address Bar aims to address that shortfall, but also adds a few neat conveniences to the package. There's a customizable global hot key (Ctrl + Shift + A by default), bookmarks and history pulled from Internet Explorer, Firefox, and/or Google Chrome, auto-complete convenience, and a key to clear out MuvEnum's history without wiping out your browser's.
