Summary:

Fake is a new browser for Mac OS X that makes web automation simple. Fake allows you to drag discrete browser Actions into a graphical Workflow that can be run again and again without human interaction. The Fake Workflows you create can be saved, reopened, and shared.

Inspired by Apple's Automator application, Fake looks like a combination of Safari and Automator that allows you to run (and re-run) "fake" interactions with the web.

Summary:
In his wonderful book Musicophilia, neurologist Oliver Sacks describes Clive Wearing, a musician and musicologist whose memory was erased almost entirely after a severe brain infection. Post-trauma, Clive’s short-term memory lasted only a matter of seconds. Sacks writes, “He remembers almost nothing unless he is actually doing it, then it may come to him.”Yet Clive’s musical self, his performative self, remained almost completely intact. It just needed to be activated. When playing music or conducting a choir, Clive could re-attain his former virtuosity. As long as his fingers and his mind were in motion, he could play beautifully. Clive’s wife writes, “The momentum of the music carried Clive from bar to bar… He knew exactly where he was because in every phrase there is context implied, by rhythm, key, melody… When the music stopped, Clive fell through to the lost place. But for those moments he was playing he seemed normal.”

 

We are perhaps not so different from Clive when it comes to creative projects. The minute that we lose momentum, we lose the thread. We become extremely vulnerable to distraction and defeat. Our inner critic awakens, and we start second-guessing ourselves, doubting the possibility of success. Other people’s demands creep in, vying for our attention and focus. We start to generate shiny, new ideas that seem even more worthy of execution, tempting us to move onto the next big thing without ever finishing.

State of the Art - Presenting the MiFi of Your Dreams - NYTimes.com

If you want ubiquitous Internet today, though, you have several choices. They’re all compromised and all expensive.

You could get online using only a smartphone, but you’ll pay at least $80 a month and you’ll have to view the Internet through a shrunken keyhole of a screen. You could equip your laptop with one of those cellular air cards or U.S.B. sticks, which cost $60 a month, but you’d be limited to 5 gigabytes of data transfer a month (and how are you supposed to gauge that?). You could use tethering, in which your laptop uses your cellphone as a glorified Internet antenna — but that adds $20 or $30 to your phone bill, has a fixed data limit and eats through your phone’s battery charge in an hour.

Have you ever applied for a job you weren’t sure you wanted? You prepared a resume, sweated over the cover letter, followed up, went through the interview process ... Just to kick the tires – look around the office and meet some people?

You figured the worst that would come of it is that you’d meet some new contacts and learn something about an organization you didn’t know much about.

Summary:

User experience research can mean the difference between a product's success and failure. You might, for example, watch users who are playing a video game for the first time to see where they get lost, confused, or bored. You might review clickstream data to see where customers abandon their shopping carts. You could do formative research to help define features for a new product by interviewing people about their needs and preferences.

Not all of this research is done face-to-face. Remote research—recruiting and interviewing people without face-to-face contact—offers lots of advantages over more traditional research. Remote methods allow you to talk to people all over the world without travel expenses. A broader range of users provide a broader range of perspectives. Easier, cheaper, and better research? Rock n' roll.

Summary:

There are some crazy ideas here. I really like the fiber optic pass through for object detection. I still think RFID would be a better solution since you have to uniquely identify each element and teach your program to know that object. Although the gradient tags give you orientation.
