This is one of the most fascinating experiments I have ever come across.[..]An Indian physicist puts a PC with a high speed internet connection in a wall in the slums and watches what happens. Based on the results, he talks about issues of digital divide, computer education and kids, the dynamics of the third world getting online.[..]The results are astounding. He contends that by the age of 16

   The age of the robot is coming up faster and faster. There was a time when the robot for house duties was something confined to the realm of the Jetsons. Well I just came across a press release for the next generation of cleaning robot. That is not the surprise to me, the surprise is that this is the new and improved model of something I was not even sure

I just read a very interesting article on the past and possible future of HCI (Human Computer Interaction) Is an HCI revolution just around the corner?The article takes you through the ins and out of how we hav reached the present point of interaction with technology.

Once again the little invisible line is becoming just a blur. It won't be long until that line doesn't exist at all. The world has gone online and the online world has gone offline. People have to realise that ranting and carrying on in a journal is fine and dandy but once you venture into the online world it becomes a public rant and is open to all sorts of attack. Be it in the form of used

My name is Coopz and I am a programmer.I've been in this industry for the past 10 years and I have become a little jaded with this career path because I tend to code for my own business or whomever I am contracting to and always alone.

I'm not sure I can believe this but it seems that the head of Microsoft's open source software lab has extended an open invitation to the developers from Mozilla. He says it is enable the Firefox browser and Thunderbird email software to be able to run on windows Vista in the coming release.I am always skeptical when a major player, MS, opens it doors to a small open source player to enable the

Just this morning I have come to the realisation that the thin line between reality and a "virtual" reality is a truly blurry line.I come to work to earn a living by writing software that operates in an online world to enhance the work of the offline world. Whilst at work I have monitored my online world, inlcuding blogs, ebay, email etc. The online world is actually far more engrossing than the

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but there is something happening with Google advertisements.I went to one my sites this morning and I was greated the usual ad banner at the bottom of the page, however staring back at me on one side was a smiling face....So I went to another site and there was another face staring back....Since then they have all disappeared.Is this another feature yet to be

With the recent outcry of click fraud I think it is interesting how people have suggested that the way to go selling advertising on an impression basis. There were many who threw their arms in despair at such a suggestion, however you need only poke your head out the window and it is occuring all around.You see that billboard across the road?? Well, an advertiser has paid for that on an

We are now into day 2 of 4wdadventureforum.com and things are coming along.......... not the greatest start but there is some traffic but not what would have hoped. Maybe I need to investigate other avenues for promoting such a site.This is the internet so I am sure there is someone out there that has done this before.

Today marks the launch of my new little project, 4wd Adventure Forum.I recently bought a '95 Landrover Discovery 4wd and after much searching found that was nothing I was really looking for on the net.So being the person I am, I am built a new forum for people like me to ask for help from people who have some idea about four wheel driving.So I am off to ask the world for help!!!

I have just witnessed what can be akin to the Microsoft juggernaut. In small convenience store there are a row of fridges that hold all the soft drinks and juices that the store sells. Recently the front two fridges disappeared. Well today those two fridges along with two others have been replaced with Coca Cola fridges and now the first product line that the customer sees is Coke.So in one move

Who would have thought that at such an early stage of this blog I would need to redesign the whole thing and start again.The design is not functional and will not display correctly with any content I give it. Speaking of blogging and design, is there an industry for blog templates or is it too late (or early) for the bandwagon?? If there is an industry or call for it what are teh costs involved.

More evidence of the growing "on demand" movement. There is no denying this anymore. Whether it be a wordprocessing program or a spreadsheet all these applications will be so called on demand apps.

Here I am still where I was a week ago. There is so much to research and check it is becoming a pain. It will be worth it in the end but the work is time consuming.The next step will be to roll out some sort of marketing scheme and invoke it.The software is coming along nicely and there are only a few bugs to iron out.

This is the first post and a new series on the development of an online crm solution. The beginnings of this project date back a communications company I used to work for where I developed a small online application to co-ordinate the team. It was a huge success within the business and freed up a lot of time for the Service Manager (me).From those humble beginnings came the first version restrack
