OverviewBanners2 (Field)
by Emaux
Field is a development environment for experimental code and digital art in the broadest of possible senses. While there are a great many development environments and digital art tools out there today, this one has been constructed with two key principles in mind:
Embrace and extend — rather than make a personal, private and pristine code utopia, Field tries to bridge to as many libraries, programming languages, and ways of doing things as possible. The world doesn't necessarily need another programming language or serial port library, nor do we have to pick and choose between data-flow systems, graphical user interfaces or purely textual programming — we can have it all in the right environment and we can both leverage the work of others and take control of our own tools and methods.
Live code makes anything possible — Field tries to replace as many "features" with editable code as it can. Its programming language of choice is Python — a world class, highly respected and incredibly flexible language. As such, Field is intensely customizable, with the glue between interface objects and data modifiable inside Field itself. Field takes seriously the idea that its user — you — are a programmer / artist doing serious work and that you should be able to reconfigure your tools to suit your domain and style as closely as possible.

Tracking the Trackers: Self-Help Tools | Stanford Center for Internet and Society
A number of technologies have been touted to offer consumers control over third-party web tracking. This post reviews the tools that are available and presents empirical evidence on their effectiveness.
OneSwarm
by m.meixide
Although widely used, currently popular peer-to-peer (P2P) applications offer no user privacy. By design, services like BitTorrent and Gnutella share data with anyone that asks for it, allowing a third-party to systematically monitor user behavior. As a result, using a P2P network means that your online activities become public knowledge.
OneSwarm is a new peer-to-peer tool that provides users with explicit control over their privacy by letting them determine how data is shared. Instead of sharing data indiscriminately, data shared with OneSwarm can be made public, it can be shared with friends, shared with some friends but not others, and so forth. We call this friend-to-friend (F2F) data sharing.

The concept of ownership — possessing the exclusive rights and control over a property of any kind — has existed for centuries and in all cultures. Whether by state, collective or personal, ownership is a determining factor not only in our built environment, but in the way we shape our society, too. Yet what happens to ownership when the behaviors and needs of our society shift? What do we need to own, if anything at all? In every change, the redefinition provides new opportunities for our built environment.

HTML Formatting for Custom Menus | Digging into WordPress
by mozkart
For some projects, it’s nice to output clean, well-formatted markup. Using theme template files enables great control over most of your (X)HTML formatting, but not so much for automated functionality involving stuff like widgets and custom menus. One of my current projects requires clean, semantic HTML markup for all web pages, but also takes advantage of WordPress’ custom-menu functionality to make things easy. In this DiW article, we’ll see how to enjoy both: WordPress custom menus and clean, well-formatted HTML markup.

Cargo
by mozkart
Cargo offers its members free standing personal websites with their own URL*,
a wide variety of templates, and simple but sophisticated tools to control the way their content is displayed.
A personal network of their own creation allows members to follow and comment on the work of others, making themselves known by their artistic engagement with the community.
To maintain the highest possible degree of quality, every site we initiate is by invite only. However, we frequently award memberships to unaffiliated talents who share a sample of their work (contact us). Setting up a Cargo site can be done in just a few steps:
1 Choose a base design
2 Add content
3 Customize the look & feel
4 Point a URL
5 Link with other sites
*Note: Cargo offers a Free Basic Service, which does not include certain features like a personal URL, but otherwise allows for full membership privileges. To access additional functionality we offer Upgraded membership. More info.
Cargo websites have a front- and a back-side. The front is a member’s public website, the back is their Personal Network, connecting them to the people they follow on Cargo.
Siri goes down for iPhone 4S owners across the country | VentureBeat
by night.kame
Siri, Apple’s new voice assistant feature for the iPhone 4S, is apparently suffering from an outage, which has rendered it useless for many iPhone owners. The outage began at around 11 am PST today.
Siri isn’t just a simple piece of voice control software. To function properly, Siri must communicate with one of Apple’s servers for additional information.
Même si un travail de décodage est fait au niveau de l'iPhone 4S, le véritable coeur de Siri est dans le nuage de la pomme (ze Apple's Cloud). C'est là que sont stockées et analysées toutes les phrases que vous croyez prononcer dans l'intimité de votre assistant numérique. Mais votre iPhone n'est pas votre assistant numérique, c'est l'assistant de Cupertino dans votre poche : nuance.
Applesoft BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
by sylvainulg (via)
Applesoft, like Integer BASIC before it, did not come with any built-in commands for dealing with files or disks, other than a feature to save programs to, and load programs from, audiotape. The Apple II disk operating system, known simply as DOS, thus intercepted all input typed at the BASIC command prompt to determine whether it was a DOS command. Similarly, all output was scrutinized for a Control-D character (ASCII 4), which BASIC programs would send before seemingly PRINTing a disk command to get DOS's attention (the disk commands would not really get PRINTed but were intercepted by DOS and prevented from making it to the screen output).[3] ProDOS followed this lead, although the BASIC command interpreter was placed in a separate program called BASIC.SYSTEM and the hook worked in a different manner.[4]
