Universal earphones automatically detect the left and right sides of the ears and provide stereo audio to the most suitable side. The earphones also support detection when a single set of earphones is being shared by two people and provide mixed stereo sound to both earphones.

Why Build a Real-Time Geofencing Game? We wanted to create a game that allowed people to physically interact with the real world instead of a computer console like a first person shooter or a real-time strategy game.

mental maps, the idea to ask a person to draw a map from memory, to get an insight of the person’s perception of the world.

Google+ also offers the ability to re-share posts made by others. Twitter's retweet feature is similar, where the other person's content shows up in your own feed as something that you have "forwarded" onto your own followers. This in itself is handy, but Google+ takes it a step further by also offering options not to allow re-sharing (say you make a private post to a small group of people and you don't want those people re-sharing your thoughts to their own friends).

Et oui, Google+ peut bloquer le copier-coller et la capture d'écran : c'est ça le Web 3.0.

An idiosyncratic example of an mapping project being driven by a personal obsession is Michael Cook’s ongoing exploration of the Toronto sewer system. Wearing urban infiltration, geography graduate student and photographer hats, Cook has been researching the underground constructed landscapes of the Greater Toronto Area for the last decade.

For example, make sure your the app is in English to French mode, press one button in the app, say to your iPhone "where is the train station," and then a second later your iPhone displays "où est la gare" and you can tap one button to have that spoken in French so that the person in Paris can hear and understand you and point in a direction.

Si à Paris on me demande "où est la gare", je réponds "quelle gare ?" !

excited about on the web: having technology as a way for people to establish an educational, interactional feeling with the world around them, to hack the world, to hack their context, to have the web and to have data as another layer on top of the world.

Today I found out how deaf people think in terms of their “inner voice”. It turns out, this varies somewhat from deaf person to deaf person, depending on their level of deafness and vocal training.

You said: "URIs have become part of the furniture of the real world, like corporate graffiti tags. I'm typing this on a tube train and every poster at this end of the carriage features a URI in some shape."The metaphor is a little bit off. Basically yes you are right in the physical world (everything is real, the difference is more digital-physical), things change too. The poster in the carriage is content (aka the representation served to you), but this is not the URI. The URI in the carriage in this case is the pointer which led to this poster. It could be for example "carriage XZ345-window AXV" This is the identifier, the URI. The content can change it is no issue. Now the URI helps you to designate and draws an expectation, at this URI, I'm used to read this or that. Example in the physical world. At this address, 123 Smith Street, etc. (URI = identifier), there is a shop (representation) which sells bread. Maybe one day the shop will be replaced by a fisher place and you break the expectation of the usual person coming here. You break URIs when you do not handle it anymore. Exemple an urban architect redesign the city, and the street completely disappears, where one day the street was here, the next year no more than a big factory on what was one day a street. The important is not that the street disappeared, but that the name of the street disappeared. The History books of the city or the streets around could display a 410 Gone (Here was Smith Street).

Did he/she try « dated space » putting stuff into /2010/01/ in January, then into /2010/02/ in February, etc.

Then use the capabilities of the computer for searching through dynamic folders, keywords, etc. There could be a dynamic search folder with that has been downloaded today, then one for yesterday, one for this week, one for « Beaudelaire » because it is what is interesting to the person these days. It will be destroyed later on, without losing the files, and then the person will create a new one such as recipes. etc. Embrace chaos,

Bruce, I do not understand exactly the use case. Are you saying that the page contains a list of videos, let say: three videos. One would have an attribute muted="false" and the two others muted="true"?

1. The person arrives on the page the first video is not muted.

2. Then the person mutes it and unmutes the second video.

3. The person closes the tab.

4. The person comes back later on the same page and the state is the second video is unmuted and 1 and 3 muted?

It seems windows media player had a param name="Mute" value="false" . (*to check*)

Youtube has in its API

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html

* player.mute():Void -- Mutes the player.

* player.isMuted():Boolean - Returns true if the player is muted, false if not.

DailyMotion API

http://www.dailymotion.com/en/doc/api/player/javascript_api

* player.mute():Void -- Mutes the audio playback.

* player.isMuted():Boolean - If audio playback is muted, returns true, false otherwise.

Vimeo Moogaloop video player doesn't seem to have anything for mute in the API.

A parameter which is mute="" seems to be aligned with YouTube and DailyMotion
