On Influenza A (H1N1) « bunnie’s blog: “”
A computer science perspective on molecular biology. Interesting read. It’s been in my Read It Later list for a while now…

Amazon, Macmillan: an outsider’s guide to the fight - Charlie’s Diary: “Final note: to customers, Amazon would like to be a monopoly (i.e. the only store in town). To suppliers, Amazon would like to be a monopsony (i.e. the only customer in town). Their goal is to profit via arbitrage, and if they can achieve those twin goals they will own everyubody’s nuts — the...
iPad - Yeah I Want One
Even in spite of the problems I’ve mentioned before. Ideally I will wait for at least the inclusion of the camera which will be there in the next version and a 128GB drive so I can actually carry around my photos as well as have enough space for movies. I still don’t understand the choice of a 4:3 1024x768 display instead of a 16:9 720p display but I don’t know if that...

Slate Showdown: iPad vs. HP Slate vs. JooJoo vs. the Android Tablets - Tablet fight - Gizmodo
Notion Ink’s product looks quite interesting.
2010 will be an interesting year for tablet/slates/ebook readers. I can’t wait to see if Apple drops the iPad like it did Apple TV, if it makes one hell of an iPad 2 or just incrementally updates it. But one thing is for sure: it’s going to...
Flying Cars
Apple could’ve launched a cold fusion powered flying car with laser cannons mounted on top and some people would’ve still been disappointed.
Pedro Telles: iPad e o futuro da computação
Não vou aqui repetir à exaustão a lista de novidades e falhanços do iPad. Já há bastantes (demasiadas?) análises dedicadas a esses pontos. Quero sim falar do iPad como um vislumbre do futuro da computação para os próximos 5-10 anos.
Enquanto estava a ver a keynote na passada Quarta-Feira formou-se no meu espírito a ideia de que estávamos perante uma mudança sísmica no que toca à forma de usar...
The Gap
This is my obligatory iPad post. All throughout the many years since we began hearing Apple Tablet rumors every time an Apple announcement/conference was imminent I’ve have constantly been against it. I don’t like tablets and I thought (and still think) that the introduction of one by Apple would stop them from making other, better products to prevent cannibalization of their tablet.

Project SIKULI
Project SIKULI: “Sikuli is a visual technology to search and automate graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images (screenshots). The first release of Sikuli contains Sikuli Script, a visual scripting API for Jython, and Sikuli IDE, an integrated development environment for writing visual scripts with screenshots easily. Sikuli Script automates anything you see on the screen without internal...
Episode VI: Return of The Blog
The 4th major iteration of this blog is now online.
The previous was named Episode III: Revenge of the blog so it’s only fair that this becomes Episode VI: Return of The Blog since it also marks my intention (yeah…) to return to blogging. Neverming episodes IV and V.
The 2 biggest changes are a change in theme (which I don’t yet consider final) and a move to tags, away from...
HTML5 Video and Mozilla
I’m going to skip the introduction and go right to the point: support Mozilla!
How? Use firefox and promote it.
Why? Because you want the web to be Free (not free as in “free beer” but Free as in Freedom). Because you value Freedom and knowledge!

Information Imperialism
I just had to share this!
“The US has criticised China’s policies to administer the internet, and insinuated that China restricts internet freedom,” he said in a statement posted on the foreign ministry website.
“This runs contrary to the facts and is harmful to China-US relations.
