What We Need Is A Digital Bill Of Rights (58)
on
TechCrunch (8948) permalink
As the Democrats and Republicans gather at their national conventions, it is time to really think about a comprehensive national technology policy for the Internet Age. Many laws and policies governing the Internet and digital property are inadequate attempts to transplant rules from a different era. The problems that arise are not just about Net Neutrality (see Comcast) or copyright infringement or digital privacy. They are about all of these things.

- DOCBook Howto said: This is the age-old question. Is it necessary to create new laws as new technology evolves, or can we still apply old laws to the new technology? Thus far we've been okay adapting the old laws - how long will that last?

Songsterr: A Flash Guitar Tab Player That Might Rock, Someday (43)
onOne of the reasons why the guitar has become a staple in pop culture is its immediate accessibility. In lieu of standard notation, guitar players have developed tablature - a more intuitive representation of a song that uses numbers to indicate which fret on a guitar each note is played. Even the most inexperienced musicians can usually learn the system in a matter of minutes. One of the problems with tablature is that it does ...Shared by Abhilash (18) Alex (27) Alex (35) AlexT (20) b3cak (25) catepol (20) CB (31) crosby (43) Danny (20) Dave C.

Since I switched to Mac from Windows I've become quite a heavy keyboard user, mainly because I feel that I am able to multi-task much better, especially when using the combination of LaunchBar and Spaces.Where this breaks down is when I need to do a quick search in Google. ...Shared by Randy (10)Contribute comment -

I may get fired for saying this, but I miss the convenience, focus, and robustness of desktop apps. Sometimes I just want the clarity of a dedicated app--or the isolation; all too often when I'm in a browser, a rogue JavaScript-heavy site will crash not just its own window but the 20 different tabs I have open at that moment.

15 Year Old Entrepreneur Launches Teens In Tech (41)
