Lessons to be learnt from Disney's Pop Century Resort. The authors of Learning from Las Vegas (a hymn to the urban planning positives of the Vegas Strip) have written a good analytical piece in the current ish of Metropolis, analyzing Disney World's new Pop Century resort.
We see the Pop Century Resort as a third evolution of Pop Urbanism--beyond that engaging the symbolic-surface makeup of the first Las Vegas, evolving from the Strip; beyond that engaging the scenographic formal makeup of the second Las Vegas, evolving from Disneyland. Here is a vivid urban complex that is beginning to embrace symbolic content by combining surface and form, graphic signage, and sculptural symbolism--both the "decorated shed" and the "duck" (i.e., the loft whose surfaces are ornamented with signs, and the building as sculptural symbol).
What is to come next? The urban complex that is a city rather than a resort--a vivid multifaceted place that pragmatically juxtaposes decorated sheds and ducks through signage and sculpture, civic and commercial content--all in the service of enhanced communication, the vital community-building tool of our multicultural era. This is what the Las Vegases and Pop Century Resorts are leading up to and what the Tokyo of today has essentially achieved.

Super-bitchin' '80s videogame memories. Starcade was a game show that launched around 1983, played on Saturday mornings, and now replays on G4 Network (the all-gaming TV channel that Comcast is merging with TechTV). T-shirts and DVDs are coming out in April, and I want them most badly.
Show contestants played videogames to win fabulous prizes -- everything from video arcade games to the infamous "Mister Disc," as well as swank Wrangler jean jackets and my favorite -- "a trip to Hawaii and a roll of quarters."

solo interests -- which now include what he describes as a Digital

E-voting expose on Wired News. If you haven't yet read the extensive report on e-voting's flaws from my Wired News colleague Kim Zetter -- you should. Managing editor David Miller explains why:
The story, which she has been working on for the past month, is an in-depth look at the controversy surrounding electronic voting in the United States. In this election year, electronic voting machines have been touted as the solution to the Florida debacle that marred the 2000 presidential race. But Zetter, who has been following the topic closely for nearly a year, shows in a magazine-length piece why no one should be confident that these machines are safe for use. She details numerous security flaws and vulnerabilities with e-voting as well as issues surrounding potential conflict of interest among the voting machine vendors.

Declan: Should the UN run the Internet?. In his News.com column this week, Declan McCullagh explores recent debate around proposed expansion of United Nations involvement in managing 'Net architecture.
The United Nations wants to expand its influence over the Internet, but would it be wise to let that happen?
That question follows the conclusion of a two-day U.N. summit last week, in which delegates from sundry countries such as Cuba, Ghana, Bolivia and Venezula lectured North American, Asian and European countries about how best to run the Internet.
Their demands varied, but the bottom line was the same: They want a piece of the action in just about every way. The event's agenda was breathtakingly broad, taking in everything from spam and privacy to intellectual property, network security and the operation of root domain name servers.

Robot camel-jockeys replace kidnapped children in Qatar. The United Arab Emirates Qatar, responding to complaints from human rights groups that the jockeys in its camel races are often kidnapped children, has switched to using robot jockeys.
ROBOTS have been used as jockeys in Qatar for camel races, a favourite sport in the Gulf which has faced widespread criticism over the use of young children from the Indian sub-continent in such races...
The children, mostly from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Pakistan, are then smuggled into the Gulf states.
They are often starved by employers to keep them light and maximise their racing potential. Mounting camels three times their height, the children - some as young as six - face the risk of being thrown off or trampled.
Wish I could find a pic of this!

Gates's vision -- and failure thereof. Bill Gates just gave a talk at a Gartner symposium where he predicted that hardware would get so cheap as to be essentially free. This is a pretty visionary idea -- and, I think, plausible enough; you can buy a $0.99 singing greeting card today with more computing power than all the world's digital computers at the launch of Sputnik (multiple Soviet space-programs' worth of cycles for under a buck!), so the idea of powerful, useful hardware going ubiquitous and cheap is pretty nifty and pretty credible.
In the same breath, though, Gates predicts that software won't be free -- though he has no good explanation for this (presumably, it's because universal free software would be bad for his buiness, so he can't bring himself to contemplate the possibility). This kind of blinkered thinking does Microsoft -- which could be capable of pursuing lots of profitable strategies that don't involve fighting the future tooth and nail -- no credit. If the senior management at Microsoft is this head-in-sand over production trends in software, maybe it's time for the Board of Directors to think about hiring a new chief architect and CEO.
I suspect that it was this kind of thinking that led Microsoft superstar David Stutz to write his blazing resignation when he quit the company last year.
Digging in against open source commoditization won't work - it would be like digging in against the Internet, which Microsoft tried for a while before getting wise. Any move towards cutting off alternatives by limiting interoperability or integration options would be fraught with danger, since it would enrage customers, accelerate the divergence of the open source platform, and have other undesirable results. Despite this, Microsoft is at risk of following this path, due to the corporate delusion that goes by many names: "better together," "unified platform," and "integrated software." There is false hope in Redmond that these outmoded approaches to software integration will attract and keep international markets, governments, academics, and most importantly, innovators, safely within the Microsoft sphere of influence. But they won't .

QuickSilver, better than OS X LaunchBar. 
The most useful OS X utility on my machine has been LaunchBar, an application launcher that makes switching between apps and launching new apps very fast and convenient.
That's changed. Today, I downloaded QuickSilver, a beta app that does everything that LaunchBar does -- but more stylishly, faster and more intuitively -- and also includes a clipboard manager that lets me store the contents of the last 9 copy operations. It's also savvy to your iPhoto albums, your iTunes playlists, your addresss book and your Documents folder. I'm in love.

Memory-wire-based headset. The Arriva headset uses memory-wire to coil securely around your head (Gizmodo compares it to an alien brain-sucker) and communicates with audio sources via wire, Bluetooth, or FM receiver. The "buy it" page is b0rked, so there's no way to tell what it costs.
Our patent pending headset is unique in design and functionality. No exposed wires increase durability. Flexibility allows for abusive use and storage without adverse damage. Best of all, the weave design fits any size head comfortably and securely. The "WRAP-RADIO" will NOT fall off. The design accommodates different "ear buds" and color specifications per your requirements. The headset can even be waterproof.
