"I think that if you really want to know about the future, don’t ask a technologist, a scientist, a physicist. No! Don’t ask somebody who’s writing code. No, if you want to know what society is going to be like in 20 years, ask a kindergarten teacher. They know.
In fact, don’t ask just any kindergarten teacher, ask an experienced on. They are the ones who know what society is going to be like in another generation."

SlipBox
SlipBox A slip-box is really just this: a loose collection of slips stuffed into a box. Each time you have an idea that seems worth remembering you scribble down a note on an (electronic) slip and put it into the box. Then you can forget about it. When the time comes that you need your ideas, the functionality of the program helps you to quickly find relevant slips and, what is more, relations and links between different slips by associative searches.
The SlipBox application supports OpenMeta tags and provides a plug-in architecture to establish interfaces to other programs, eg to BibDesk, Bookends (programs to manage references), Skim (a PDF reader and annotation tool) and Graphviz (a graph visualisation tool).
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.5 (Version 0.8 runs on 10.4, version 0.6 runs on 10.3.9; see the archive page.)

29% Accessed Porn on Work Computers Last Month - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
29% Accessed Porn on Work Computers Last Month - Political Hotsheet - CBS News On average, users who looked at adult websites spent about an hour and 45 minutes on the sites in March, according to Nielson.
There are a lot of "love" starved folks out there, and they are costing their companies and employers a lot of money.
According to a memo generated by the SEC and leaked to the press yesterday, one senior attorney at the SEC's headquarters in Washington spent up to 8 hours a day viewing and downloading porn, until his computer hard drive ran out of space. At that point, the attorney began burning CDs and DVDs with pornographic material and keeping the discs around his office. Seventeen of the employees investigated were at the senior level, earning annual salaries in the six-figure range. Grassley said that while the SEC claims the offenders have been disciplined, only a few have been fired.

Cleaning Smudges From the iPad - Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com
Cleaning Smudges From the iPad - Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com
But you still may see smudges. According to the iPad user’s guide, you should not use “window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia or abrasives” to clean the screen. Instead, to wipe off any smudges, first, turn off the iPad — the dark screen makes smudges easier to see — and try using your luck with a microfiber cloth or even your shirtsleeve.
If you still have a smudge, add some moisture with a puff of breath, and rub a bit longer without the pressure. You can also try a slight misting with distilled water; just don’t get any liquid near the edges.
For grime on older, regular glass screens, DVDs, keyboards, mice and handheld game systems, make your own home-brew a cleaning solution for a small fraction of the price of store-bought mixtures.
Flush out the nozzle of an empty pump-spray bottle with distilled water. Fill about halfway with a 50/50 mix of pure alcohol and distilled water, both available at your local drugstores. If you have a stubborn spot, like a crayon mark, use more solution and wipe longer; don’t press. Each manufacturer has its own guidelines, so read the manual before using this on any gadget.
