THESE GUYS ARE STILL AWFULLY GOOD IN LOTS OF AREAS

A New System for Storing Data: Think Punch Cards, but Tiny. I.B.M. scientists have created a potential replacement for computer hard disks that can store the equivalent of 200 CD-ROM's on a chip the size of a postage stamp. By Kenneth Chang. [New York Times: Science]

ED CONE NAILS IT

Here are some quotes:

So I feel comfortable that if I say something isn't clear on Radio, even if the folks who make it think it is clear, it is probably not going to be that clear to many, many users.

What if you want to do more than that? Then it gets more complicated. Radio is a powerful tool, but even some of the stuff you might expect to be simple may not be not simple to the average person.

A programmer would perhaps laugh at me for my discomfort and fear about really screwing things up while messing with the code. But the rest of the world would understand. Same for the permanent links you see at the left margin of this page--easy when you know how to do it, intimidating if you don't.

The directions for doing these things aren't that helpful to the nonprogrammer. Step three in editing your homepage template, for example, is this: "Make the change. (It's HTML)." Great. Most of us don't speak code. We see a bunch of mystifying letters and numbers and symbols and haven't the first clue how to make any changes therein.

I would recommend Radio to both the power blogger and the hobbyist.

Ditto, Ed. [EdCone.com]
