Klares Votum für die direkte Demokratie Die Wahlbeteiligung im Landkreis B
Klares Votum für die direkte Demokratie
Die Wahlbeteiligung im Landkreis Böblingen liegt mit 58,86 Prozent auf dem Niveau der Landtagswahl. Damit haben sich am Sonntag die Bürger klar für die direkte Demokratie ausgesprochen.
Und das knapp 50 Jahre nach der bisher einzigen Volksabstimmung mit nahezu gleicher Beteiligung! Und damals ging es um den Verbleib von Baden im Land Baden-Württemberg.
Keine Spur von Politikverdrossenheit! Vielleicht nur Politikerverdrossenheit - mit den bisherigen?!

OS X Vista - two step forwards and one back
Beside of all the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 hype OS X 10.7.2 and Aperture 3.2 were released this week.
This fixed two annoying Aperture issues. It writes IPTC metadata to master files again and - on first impression - its performance does not degrade over time.
Though now I can no longer switch to HDMI audio when my headphones are plugged in?!
hdmi sound problem began after 10.7.2...: Apple Support Communities

Update:
Update: Apparently Apple also released 3.2 today.
So far busy to download iOS 5 and OS X 10.7.2
[Update] Downloads still in the hours. Installation on iPad aborts with internal error. I suspect it timeouts on the verification with Apple. See others posting similar issues in fora and being successful after a few retries.
Hey Apple, this would have been a good day to embrace BitTorrent. Yes, peer-to-peer has its value.

iBookstore: French £17.99, English £12.99 and Italian £10.99.
The Amazon Kindle Edition is also £12.99 for the English version. I tend to rather buy from Amazon even having iOS devices and no Kindle devices.

Three good reasons why Google+ does not need hashtags
Never thought about this but I tend to agree. Simply because it is KISS (_Keep it simple, stupid_). Interesting aspect: do you want to allow people to facilitate search (they could honor hashtags in searches) or rather not to avoid any misuse?

+Mike Elgan is touching on something [pun intended]
Again another excellent analysis worth to contemplate about:
"Social Tablet era"
"People are designed to socialize with other humans, and also to explore the world with touch."
Great one! Touch-based tablets - especially the iPad - plays to our deep hard-wired desire to touch things and - well - play with them. Hmm, is tactile experience the most 'emotional'?
So the symbiosis of tablet and social networks will revolutionize our social experience as built-in cameras in mobile phones did.
"Artificial Experience Phone Era"
Hmm, clumsy name. IBM is 'commercializing' AI on the high-end leveraging the visibility of Watson winning Jeopardy!. http://www.ibm.com/ibm100/us/en/icons/watson/
However, bringing first class "computer assistant" experience to the consumer market shifts everybody's experience. Voice recognition and control were around for many years - Dragon and ViaVoice are most notable contenders.
Well, PDAs were around for nearly 20 years as well but the breakthrough came when combined with multi-touch in iPhone and iPad.
I am still munching about these assessments. Definitely there is something in them. May be I am enchanted by Tuesday's event.
Maybe companies will soon need a BYOCA to work policy: Bring your own computer assistant.
