Eyecontact

剛剛在讀一本有關Interactive Design的書時 忽然想到電腦螢幕 手機螢幕 電視 把人與人之間可能的眼神交會給拿掉了 我們只需要跟螢幕眼神交會就夠了 因為我門經由螢幕買東西 看部落格 聊天 逛Facebook 上班也是看螢幕阿 我想說得是這些Interactive Design只想讓你把眼睛放在螢幕上而不是放在其他的人身上！

數位時代的書店

我有一個想法 有一家沒有書的書店 進去後左邊是咖啡機 右邊的牆是一排一排的iPAD 你拿出你的手機放入iPAD的位置後就可以取出一部iPAD 然後書店就是一個很大的客廳般的有沙發 貴妃椅之類的 你可以在那邊選你要看的書 不過只有在這家店的Server上的書 你可以看而不是上到iTune

好了 問題是我該如何有收入 ? 哈哈哈!

PS.不是租書店!

Assembly: The New BUI

...

develop a new interaction language — a new BUI (Bodily User Interface) of sorts arises. Assembly, a research project by Emily Carr University student Lorea Sinclaire, explores different bodily gestures to interact with a mobile phone.

Interactions such as buttoning a coat, sends a signal of your location while stroking your hemline will send out a call to a friend. My personal favorite, hugging yourself and swiping your outer arms, signals you need help.

Assembly just skims the possible gestural and bodily interactions a user may use to interface with their mobile devices but it does begin to imagine a world where body language becomes a novel way to communicate with our electronic objects.

Carrier IQ: What it is, what it isn't, and what you need to know

Carrier IQ claims its software is installed on over 140 million devices with partners including Sprint, HTC and allegedly, Apple and Samsung. Nokia, RIM and Verizon Wireless have been alleged as partners, too, although each company denies such claims. Ostensibly, the software's meant to improve the customer experience, though in nearly every case, Carrier IQ users are unaware of the software's existence, as it runs hidden in the background and doesn't require authorized consent to function. From a permissions standpoint -- with respect to Android -- the software is capable of logging user keystrokes, recording telephone calls, storing text messages, tracking location and more. It is often difficult or impossible to disable.

專利法修正：APP和圖像 可申請專利

立法院昨（29）日三讀通過專利法修正草案，擴大設計專利保護範圍，智慧型手機使用界面、APP應用程式圖像等都可申請專利，另增訂醫藥品研究試驗免責及延長規定。

智慧財產局長王美花表示，專利法修正案在立法院歷經二年終於三讀通過，預計明年11月上路。有助文創、生技、綠能、精緻農業、觀光旅遊、醫療照護等六大新興產業發展。

這次修法將新式樣專利，更名為「設計專利」（Design），開放部分設計、衍生設計、成組設計、電腦圖像（Icons），以及使用者圖形化使用者介面（GUI）等，都可申請專利。

王美花表示，如智慧型手機的使用界面、開機畫面，及APP應用程式圖像等，未來都可申請設計專利，強化對國內企業與文創產業的設計保護。

我對Apple的預測 五年內

1.將有一款iphone 面臨全面回收 因為電池或觸控面板或是CPU

2.Apple 將面臨反托拉斯 Content 業者要求 iTune Store,iCloud與Apple分家

3.Apple 將生產更多款式的iMac,Notebook,Desktop and iPhone

4.Apple 將與更多Close System(Wall Garden Model)  公司合作 例如Facebook

5.Apple 將前進BioInformatics Software Development

6.Apple 前進電視市場招致嚴重失敗 雖沒有虧損但專一性的設計概念面臨挑戰

Radioactive Seawater Impact Map (福島核災的輻射擴散預估)

We use a Lagrangian particles dispersal method to track where free floating material (fish larvae, algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton...) present in the sea water near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station plant could have gone since the earthquake on March 11th. THIS IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OF THE RADIOACTIVE PLUME CONCENTRATION. Since we do not know how much contaminated water and at what concentration was released into the ocean, it is impossible to estimate the extent and dilution of the plume. However, field monitoring by TEPCO and modelling by the Sirrocco group in University of Toulouse, France both show high concentration in the surrounding water (highest rate at 80 Bq/L and 24 Bq/L for respectively I-131 and C-137) . Assuming that a part of the passive biomass could have been contaminated in the area, we are trying to track where the radionuclides are spreading as it will eventually climb up the food chain.

數位有聲書 視障知識的泉源

台灣數位有聲書推展學會致力製作DAISY（Digital Accessible Information System）格式有聲書， DAISY格式的優點在於可讓使用者自行選擇章節也可加入書籤，更方便的是還可以調整播放速度。希望可以藉由這些有聲書幫助視障人士取得知識，並且也致力 於教導視障使用電腦的能力，希望能藉此讓視障人士在謀生上有更多的選擇。

根據著作權法第53條，台灣數位有聲書推展學會可以不用經過作者或出版社的同意自行製作專供視覺障礙者、學習障礙者、聽覺機能障礙者或其他視、聽覺認知有 障礙者使用的有聲書。李秀鳳說，現在會盡量跟出版社解釋著作權法第53條的立法精神，希望出版社無償提供書本電子檔，如此在有聲書的製作過程中會更簡便， 目前已經有遠流及商周等出版社配合。

A Better Personal Health Record?

Not everyone is discouraged by Google Health's demise. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Dossia, a PHR provider that began as a nonprofit consortium of large employers, recently announced the launch of Dossia Health Manager, which will expand the company's current PHR platform with a range of new features.

Unlike Google Health and similar services, Dossia's system is linked to employer-sponsored health plans—its largest user is currently Walmart. Employers are interested in personal health records as a way to encourage healthy behavior—and thus cut down on the money they spend on insurance premiums. Dossia's system can track a subscriber's health status and tie that information to incentives or rewards. For instance, it could determine whether someone with high blood pressure is measuring and controlling their blood pressure and refilling their prescriptions. Dossia keeps employees' private information secure from employers by using security technology similar to the kind used by the financial industry.

New Studies Reveal Stunning Evidence That Cell Phone Radiation Damages DNA, Brain And Sperm

Prof. Seyhan's work confirms and strengthens the finding, that just four hours of exposure to RF-EMF disrupts the ability of human brain cells to repair damaged genes. Other new important work from Australia shows damage to human sperm. "We are deeply concerned about what this could mean for public health," noted Prof Seyhan.

"This work provides a warning signal to all of us. The evidence justifies precautionary measures to reduce the risks for everyone of us," says Prof. Wilhelm Mosgoeller from the Medical University of Vienna who has led European research teams, who found that RF-EMF induce DNA breaks. New studies carried out by scientists in Turkey, Russia and Israel, have investigated a variety of biological effects triggered by cell phones. Two years after false accusations against scientists who described DNA breaks, now the recent results finally show, that exposure induced DNA breaks are real.

Sensor Data up for Grabs

Distributed wireless sensors are increasingly being used to monitor all sorts of things—from water quality in a river to the oven in your kitchen. A startup in the U.K. called Pachube wants to kick-start a revolution in new apps and services by providing ways for anyone to share and access all this sensor data.

The 11-person firm, started in 2007, has developed sensor gateway that collects data feeds in many different formats and converts them into commonly used standards in real time. Pachube (pronounced "patchbay") processes six million points of data per day, and recently built its own cloud-based storage platform to handle a growing amount of data.

沒有Hotfile 電腦何用ㄚ(Hotfile Goes To War Against Copyright Infringers)

Hotfile, one of the rising stars on the file-hosting scene, appears to be taking a tougher stance on copyright infringement. Perhaps with an eye on the litigation recently instigated by the MPAA, this week Hotfile has been deleting premium accounts – along with all their files – en masse. Furthermore, Hotfile are reportedly not paying out the money these accounts have earned in the site’s rewards program.

上個數位學習要用幾個螢幕ㄚ

MIT OpenCoursware 有一些基礎課程還不錯 之前上了有關Python的ComputerScience 現在在上Biology 因為Biology不是我的Native Language 因此我需要字典機翻譯 還有一些專有名詞會用到Wiki 另外因為這門課的Video 拍的不好很多Slide 都看不清楚 因此需要看書(PDF file) 所以最左邊是字典機 中間是小筆電專看Video 最右邊是14inch LCD筆電 專看Wiki PDF . 不過只是因為Biology需要的Refernce太多而我都不懂 才需要那台14inch 不然一般的e-Learning課程是不需要的

PS.8.9inch 用小筆電看數位學習的好處是 坐著躺著到處都可以看 有Keypad 我覺得比iPad方便
