Happy Cog: About us (http://www.happycog.com/about/) Pardon our size, we are growing. Sonja Mueller Photography (http://www.sonjamueller.org/) Photo portfolio with unusual (unique, soothing, rather beautiful, if ultimately unrelated to the content it supports) Flash-based interface. The rich interface almost overshadows the photography. Deconstructing the Mobile Web (http://www.uxmatters.com/MT/archives/000098.php) The mobile Web is largely overplayed hype—the clumsy extrapolation of the behavior and use of a basic set of interfaces from one environment to another incompatible one.
10 Things I Learned at Mobile 2.0 (http://www.blueflavor.com/ed/mobile/10_things_i_learned_at_mobile_20.php)
Mobile 2.0 = The Web.
The mobile web browser is the next killer app. Plus eight more things!
Turing Test Proves 2-Year-Olds Not Human (http://www.bbspot.com/News/2006/10/turing-test.html) Roger Mason and Cao Li, as part of their Doctoral thesis, have performed the Turing Test on a group of 2-year-old children, both male and female. The results show that of a group of 100 children, none passed the Turing Test.
Q. Why Am I So Angry? (http://www.eleganthack.com/archives/why_am_i_so_angry.php#004687) A. Pants. Are you ready for ISBN-13? (http://www.pearsoned.com/isbn-13/) On 1 January 2007, the length of the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) will officially change from 10 to 13 digits. Pearson’s online tool quickly translates between 10 and 13-digit ISBNs. Entrepreneurs See a Web Guided by Common Sense (http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfbm7o) NY Times: Semantic Web = Web 3.0. Safari Tidy plugin (http://www.zappatic.net/safaritidy/) Automagically validate the web pages you browse for (x)html compliance. Works great! Recommended. Flickr: Retro Kid (http://www.flickr.com/groups/theretrokid/) Astounding photo pool containing thousands of retro images—classic faves to arcane rarities. It’s a themed bazaar for your eyeballs! For yet more visual pleasure and oblique social commentary, see also the Paula Wirth Flickr Groups (http://www.flickr.com/photos/inkvision/sets/72157594327785378/). Pimp My Safari (http://pimpmysafari.com/) Extend Safari like you extend Firefox. Gratuitous use of buttocks in music marketing (http://rateyourmusic.com/list/King_Fahtah/cover_art___ass___arse___butt___bottom___bum___bac kside___derriere___arsch___booty_etc) The song remains the same. Not work-safe.
