First, a hearty hat-tip to my friend Bob J. for this jewel of a find.This is by far one of the coolest hacking sites I’ve ever come across and is definitely worth a peak.I can’t help but respect and admire a techno/electro geek with both a sense of humor and enough skills to make MacGyver look bad.
“FINALLY!” That’s what I thought while reading this article in yesterday’s USA Today’s tech section. It’s a sort of confirmation of the suspicions I had regarding mobile phone users in Europe and Asia being more savvy. It’s probably one of the better pros/cons comparison articles I’ve read. It’s definitely worth a peak.
How do you know when your government doesn’t have a clue about today’s technology? When they enact laws like this.Now ask yourself, “How will they differentiate between legit IT professional working remotely from home, and a ‘hacker’ doing bad things?” Beats me.

I don’t know how many of you know about NewsMap, but I’ve been a fan for years, so I’ve decided to add it to my links on the right.Here’s the explanation of the concept:Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap’s objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.If you’re a news junkie, you’re really gonna get a kick out it. But even if you’re not, it’s definitely worth a peek. 
I know I’m a bit late on the upswing here, but it’s about time I really got my blog up to speed. Here’s my Feedburner feed folks:http://feeds.feedburner.com/Technicalities
This guy understands my love for Nokia.
Nokia’s motto is “Connecting people”. Well, based on the results of their second quarter, they’ve been connecting more than a few. More than a million. More than 10 million. In fact, more than 100 million according to Wall Street Journal, (subscription required)!
