  http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jan/03/computing.internet

  The big switch may turn off jobs Computing is now a resource like electricity - but where the arrival of grid power expanded the middle classes, the internet is making fewer people richer, says Nick Carr ... Video-sharing sites such as YouTube look set to be banned in China as the government announced plans to clamp down on 'degenerate thinking' online. By David Stanway in Beijing and Bobbie Johnson Apple product announcements are usually greeted with hyperbole, but this week's had already been discussed on the net by the time Steve Jobs took the stage at the company's Californian HQ on Tuesday.   [More...] [Less...]

  Where broadband Internet is headed: To the kitchen 

  http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/09/16/news/novel17.php

  NEW YORK : Dream kitchens may soon include a computer along with the latest refrigerator or oven. That way, people gathered at the family hub can satisfy their digital needs along with nutritional ones. ... Hewlett-Packard's new TouchSmart IQ770 PC, which retails for $1,699 in the United States, is designed for that kitchen of the future, where people turn on the computer - along with the coffeepot - and then check the screen for the weather, ball scores and the family calendar as they prepare breakfast. The calendar on the TouchSmart is easy to use. Entries can be written on the touch-sensitive screen with a finger or stylus, or entered on a keyboard, so that everyone knows what is ahead during the day, from the dentist at 9 in the morning to the parent-teacher's association meeting at 7 in the evening.

  The Semantic Web, a concept tossed around for years as a Web extension to make it easier to find and group information, is getting a critical boost Tuesday from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). W3C ... will announce publication of SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle") query technology, a Semantic Web component enabling people to focus on what they want to know rather than on the database technology or data format used to store data, W3C said. The potential of the Semantic Web cannot be underestimated. By scanning the Web on behalf of users, even Google's ad-based business model could be impacted, an analyst said. SPARQL queries express high-levels goals and are easier to extend to unanticipated data sources. The technology overcomes limitations of local searches and single formats, according to W3C. "[SPARQL is] the query language and protocol for the Semantic Web," said Lee Feigenbaum, chair of the RDF (Resource Description Framework) Data Access Working Group at W3C, which is responsible for   [More...] [Less...]
