  iMedia Connection: Asian markets are driving the 3D web 

  http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/17265.asp

  Challenges abound in the highly complex virtual world transactions where open technical standards are key if its business benefits are to be realised. Asia's virtual world platform operators are seen to ... be playing a central role here. Amid all of the excitement around the potential of virtual worlds we've seen this year, one historic analogy has become increasingly unavoidable: what Compuserve and AOL were to the 2D web of the 1990s, Second Life, There.com and other "walled-garden" virtual worlds are to the emerging 3D web of the 21st century. As we saw with the 2D web, the key to realising the business and social benefits of its three-dimensional descendant will be in establishing widely-accepted and open technical standards, a process in which Asian players are playing an emerging central role. While Linden Lab's Second Life, Makena's There.com and other contenders vie for standards dominance in North American and European markets, some Asian virtual world players are taking a proact   [More...] [Less...]

  Amazon Kindle: meet Amazon's e-book reader - Engadget 

  http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/amazon-kindle-meet-amazons-e-book-reader/

  Oh, come now, like you thought the world's largest book retailer (online) -- which just started peddling digital video under the Unbox brand -- wasn't going to go head to head with Sony's Reader on an ... e-book device and service? Say hello to the Amazon Kindle, their take on a book reader device that comes equipped with a 6-inch 800 x 600 display (which we can only assume is e-ink), 256MB internal storage, smallish two-thumb keyboard cursor bar, scroll wheel, standard mini USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack, SD slot, and get this: EV-DO data! (Don't believe us? The spec sheet is after the break. Why do you think it was in the FCC?) The user manual also outlines the Kindle Store on Amazon (though doesn't spec out too many details), but we're a little less concerned with how we're getting these supposed e-books right now, and a little more curious about the price and launch. C'mon Amazon, we've got the dirt, now how's about you fill in the details? Neutral k @ Sep 11th 2006 7:34PM Well, here's   [More...] [Less...]

  Amazon's electronic book turns a new page in the history of the written word - Independent Online Edition > Science & Tech 

  http://news.independent.co.uk/sci_tech/article3176995.ece

  The battle to persuade us all finally to abandon the familiar spine-creased paperback in favour of words on a flickering screen was ratcheted up several degrees yesterday with the launch by Amazon of its ... long-awaited – and undeniably natty – electronic book-reading device christened Kindle. "Why are books the last bastion of analogue?" Amazon founder Jeffrey Bezos asked at an unveiling of the gadget in a New York hotel, referring to the recent revolution in digital entertainment that increasingly has us downloading the music we listen to and even the films and videos we watch. It is Mr Bezos's dream that the 10oz (283g) Kindle, which has been under development at Seattle-based Amazon for the past three years, will change how we enjoy the written word just as quickly (and as profitably) as the iPod, the ground-breaking player from Apple, has done our music-listening habits. Flicker, in fact, is one thing the Kindle screen does not do. It boasts electronic ink-screen technology so the wo   [More...] [Less...]

  PC World - The 10 Biggest Web Annoyances 

  http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,138872/printable.html

  The 10 Biggest Web Annoyances The new, improved Web won't deserve that name until sites make clear what they do with your private data. And online tech support gets a lot better. And... Ryan Naraine In ... its relatively short life, the World Wide Web has already made many of our most mundane, tedious tasks quicker and easier to perform. But there are still a surprising number of activities--from helping us buy concert tickets to protecting our privacy--that, for one reason or another, the Web still can't get right, stirring the ire of even the most patient users. We look at ten of the worst of them. Beyond obvious, nagging problems such as e-mail spam, phishing lures, viruses, and spyware, a great many commonplace online frustrations--some dating all the way back to the earliest days of the Web--remain unfixed. We asked visitors at our online forums to identify what they consider the most dysfunctional aspects of the Web; then . For each difficulty, we identified an "aggravation factor"--   [More...] [Less...]
