Once Hardware now Software

This clip reminded of how we’re seeing many hardware interfaces turn into software interfaces and interactive platforms. Hardware is becoming smaller and more simple and software is now replacing many hardware components and applications. In 1998 I had a Pioneer and Cambridge Audio Hi-Fi separates console and now it sits in my garage, like a [...]

Google pop at IE

Just catching up on the Google IO conferences and this pop at Internet Explorer made smile. It shows how the new versions of Open Source browsers will utilise HTML 5 to support desktop APIs.

Web 3.0 from Kate Ray on Vimeo. This documentary is brilliant and it’s completely rekindled my interest in semantics again. Admittedly I’ve been off the subject recently, however, the sceptics have made me want to add my two pence worth. I’m for the semantic web.

EML

Those of you who are used to analysing sentiment will know it’s no easy task—even though some of our dashboards automate certain processes for us. Programs are not good at understanding natural language and we have to configure them to recognise specific words that indicate different types of emotion and sentiment. Through some recent poking [...]
