green teaser

Could this be the thing we've been talking about since last year, even back when no one would believe us?

The thing that Microsoft has recently been talking about being able to run on its platform and hoping to see soon?

Dylan Jones: The Perfect Art Party could be defined by one thing and one thing only. Tracey Emin

I was asked to define the quintessential art party recently, and so I started thinking about location. Was it New York, Miami, Los Angeles or London? But although I've been to art parties in all those fancy-pants places, and although there is such a temptation these days to assume that art, like everything else in the modern media Venn diagram, is a movable feast, I decided it really had to be London. Even though our economy is not exactly in rude health, London is still the city with the real money, still the city with a genuine sense of bohemia, and still the city with the most important artists, the most important galleries. Sure, we're being told it's all about Iran, all about Pakistan. But is it, really?

[ART JOURNA] : Unravel the rebus

The primary thing that I want people to do is look at them and go ¡¥how pretty.¡¦ It¡¦s like you heard a song and went ¡¥that sounds nice,¡¦ and then you start thinking about the lyrics afterwards. So the first thing I want is that they are attractive to the eyes.¡¨

Chess With Friends for iPhone

The first thing you should know about Chess With Friends is that it does not require you to have any friends with whom to play chess.

A Quick Look at Chandler

"The main thing that makes it different is its approach. One clue is the subtitle on the web page is A notebook you can organize, back up and share!.

Psystar Ditches Antitrust in Favor of Copyright Abuse

Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It?

kenblakely writes "BusinessWeek is running a story asserting that the 'US is Losing the Global Cyberwar.' This whole cyberwar thing has been discussed a few times on Slashdot where the Chinese are asserted to be using cyberwarfare to attain military superiority. And, of course, there is the whole Russia-Georgia thing. Even the US military is getting in on the action, and the fear of a cyber Pearl Harbor seems almost palpable. I'm curious what the Slashdot crowd thinks about the growing fascination with 'cyberwar': hype to get more money and create new force structure, source of the next world war, or somewhere in between?"

How Amazon's cell phone app can save you money at Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart.

Sometime this shopping season, you'll find yourself stuck in a big-box store agonizing over an attractively priced television, DVD player, high-end blender, or some other amazing thing.

Scientist debunks 'Grey goo' scenario

A horde of nanoscale robots - invisible to the naked eye but with the ability to replicate themselves - somehow escape into the environment.

Those copies do the same thing, and those copies do the same thing, until eventually the Earth is nothing but a giant clump of identical tiny robots.

Esther Dyson Grudgingly Defends Internet Anonymity

An anonymous reader writes "In an interview, Esther Dyson, chairman of EDventure Holdings, describes anonymity on the Internet as similar to abortion: a bad practice that people should still have rights to. Calling anonymity one of the greatest disappointments of the Internet's evolution, Dyson said: 'I'm pro choice, but I think abortion is an unfortunate thing. I think the same thing about anonymity: Everybody should have the right to it, but it's not something one wants to encourage.'"
