PUBLIC MARKS with search touches

We're sorry. This product is no longer available. DETAILS While on a trip to India, some of our team flagged down a rickshaw for a spur-of-the-moment tour of the town. Inspired by the ride and feeling a bit whimsical, we decided to design our own set of wheels, with some very special touches like a collapsible kantha-fabric canopy, handlebar streamers, a bell for brrring-bringing on the bike path and even a headlight that illuminates when the pedals are cranked. An instant conversation starter on the road or on display, we'll bet you're whisked away on the adventure of a lifetime once you hop on - or into - our quixotic carriage. No two are exactly alike.

Opera MobileThis is a must have browser if you want a common cross device web experience or a better browser than the one you have preinstalled in that phone.Opera Mobile does not expose touches or gestures and the interaction is compromised but as render engine and web surfing, it is a pretty damn fast and cool browser that will be hopefully installable in the most recent Windows Mobile OS, since this has the worst browser you could ever imagine, compared with all others.

Le citoyen est le peintre de la vie urbaine et la rue est sa toile. Contrairement à d’autres quartiers de Montréal, le Mile-End ne se dessine pas par touches lourdes d’urbanistes-fonctionnaires. En effet, les aménagements subtils de ce quartier demeurent des exemples d’un bon urbanisme qui permet d’adapter l’habitat urbain aux besoins d’êtres humains.

In your paragraph

“one of the axioms of the web that URIs are opaque, and that machines “should not look at the contents of the URI string to gain other information”, but there are lots of ways in which humans don’t follow this principle”

Not only humans in fact. The first item in your list is talking about Google and it has changed a lot the way the Web is made. In commercial environments (aka Web Agencies), SEO (capacity of having a better findability) touches the content organization but also the words in URIs. So often the SEO person will not only recommend the way to architect content in the page, but also the words that must be in the URI. It is basically an additional constraint to the list you created.

* Persistence

* Readability

* Findability

speach bubble Comment

Here you are assuming that the crowd is right and the other one is wrong. It might be even true at a moment in time and not such much at another time. Losing memory, lying is a necessary part of human social relationship.

Think, for example, about someone lying about a sexual orientation to get a job.

Then there is living with your own mistakes and having to carry them all along (internet criminal record). The crowd sometimes makes things a lot bigger than it was in real, and specifically for the perception of others (the ones out of the story) a few years after. That’s not good. It makes individual carrying the burden of a poster saying all the bad things they did in the past, just because someone or a group of people decided to make it public.

It touches what most people call private life, and that I prefer to call opacity

Private life is not happening only behind walls but also in public spaces. In a physical world, it is tolerable because the opacity is bigger and that is good.

Le monde est petit.

Les quais de métro sont grands et il s'y passe des choses étranges.

Les touches d’accès clavier sont a priori un mécanisme d’accessibilité très séduisant par sa simplicité de mise en oeuvre. Mais les nombreux obstacles rencontrés du fait d’une implémentation inachevée en limitent considérablement la portée. Seules une poignée de touches numériques s’avèrent finalement pertinentes, et ce uniquement en renfort d’autres mesures d’accessibilité plus éprouvées.
