Say everything

Nice article in New York magazine: Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy: The New Generation Gap (via Schneier). Ultra short synopsis of what changes differentiate this generation :

  1. They think of themselves as having an audience
  2. They have archived their adolescence
  3. Their skin is thicker than yours
Suprisingly, I wasn't surprised. Or shocked or worried. But I'll admit this put-everything-online lifestyle is not for me, I can't be bothered. I don't connect much with people from the described generation anymore since I quit being a Boy Scouts leader, so I can't tell if it is the same over here in The Netherlands. Probably it is, given the high penetration of high-bandwidth connections.

  • Tested: Google Chrome vs Opera vs Safari | News | ...

    Safari isn't a bad browser, but on the PC it's not a great one, either. Whether it's arrogance, laziness or a combination of the two, the interface that works so well on the Mac looks completely out of place (the word we'd use is "minging") on XP or Vista, and while the browser itself does the essen ...

  • Intelligence in the Cloud

    There's a general misconception as to what, exactly, the "cloud" really is. I think most people imagine it as just a large cluster of computers, hooked up together as a large database or map/reduce storage system sitting behind a load balancer so that it can respond to requests as scalably as possi ...

  • EU pays for, then ignores study on copyright exten ...

    An academic from the University of Amsterdam is seething after the European Commission requested several reports from him, then utterly failed to mention them as it proposed a 45-year copyright term extension that he had argued against. Read More...

  • Mousers vs. Keyboardists

    Since the dawn of the graphical user interface there has been tension between those that favor the mouse and those that favor the keyboard. I am reminded of this as I explored the new experimental Firefox plugin from Mozilla Labs called Ubiquity . Ubiquity was designed by human interface designer ...
