Sony's Walkman series of media players has done its best to keep stride, stuffing in new features and design refinements over the years, but touchscreen-dominated players are clearly in vogue, and it looks like the company is finally ready to break down a

Just how much time DO you spend on Twitter? When I checked recently, I got "Alan Levine has 5,169 total tweets and assuming they spent an average of 30 seconds per tweet they've spent 155,070 Seconds or 2,585 Minutes or 43.08 Hours or 1.79 Days using Twitter! 1.79 days!! Good grief. What? Are you psychically connected to Twitter?"

Today's high-school and college students got their first email account at an average age of 13. Most students have had one of their email addresses for 8 years and have an average of about 2.4 addresses each. But if you really want to reach these students, you should forget email. Send a text message instead. According to a new survey from a survey from eROI, which looked at a sample of 283 high school and college students from 29 states here in the U.S., one quarter of students got their first email address so they could shop online. A much larger percentage, however, got their first address for communicating with family (81%) and with friends (52%).

The biggest problem with monthly archives is that the size of the list grows every single month, taking up more and more room. There is however, a way of getting around this; use a drop-down list. The drop-down takes up very little space until clicked on, and is a suitable method of browsing through the months because they are all in order, making a particular date easy to find.

Dozens of Apple patent applications were published today revealing research that Apple had done in 2007 on many topics encompassing future versions of Mac OS X. The most intriguing is a series of patent applications which describe a "Multidimensional" user interface. Apple has essentially been working on true 3D desktop environments.

When a MyISAM table grows large enough, you'll encounter the dreaded "The table is full" error. Now I could simply point at that page and leave this subject alone, but there's more to this story. When this happens, the first reaction I hear is "You never told me that MySQL has a 4GB limit! What am I going to do?" Amusingly, I usually do describe the limit when I discuss the possibility of using MySQL with various groups--they often forget or underestimate the impact it will have. Putting that aside, the problem is easily fixed, as that page explains. You simply need to run an ALTER TABLE command. And you'll need to wait. That ALTER TABLE is going to take some time. Really. To protect yourself in the future, use the MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_LENGTH options at CREATE TABLE time if the table is likely to get big.

Welcome to the Collaboration Age, where even the youngest among us are on the Web, tapping into what are without question some of the most transformative connecting technologies the world has ever seen. These tools are allowing us not only to mine the wisdom and experiences of the more than one billion people now online but also to connect with them to further our understanding of the global experience and do good work together. These tools are fast changing, decidedly social, and rich with powerful learning opportunities for us all, if we can figure out how to leverage their potential.

Geotags can be added to your images so you can record latitude, longitude, altitude and time information.

Linden Lab's economic statistics from Second Life show that in-world user hours and the volume of virtual land rented by users are both growing. And the number of in-world transactions between users, typically a measure of the world's economic health, has rebounded to its record high after dipping earlier this year.

As with many extremely nifty technologies, this feature of Mathematica had to wait a while before the killer app for it was discovered. And that killer app is image processing. Mathematica 7 adds a suite of image processing functions from trivial to highly sophisticated. To apply them to images, you don’t need to use any form of import command or file name references. Just type the command you want to use, then drag and drop the image from your desktop or browser right into the input line.

The premise of Dr. Awesome will be familiar to anyone who has played games like Trauma Center on the Nintendo Wii or DS systems. You’re a doctor, there’s an emergency, and you must do surgery to save a patient’s life. If that doesn’t sound fun at all, you really have to play it. You control the in-game surgeries with the iPhone’s (or iPod touch’s) accelerometer. You simply tilt the device to determine where you’re going to cut and hopefully isolate a virus before time runs out. But there’s another kind of fun, and kind of meaningless element to the game: It uses your iPhone’s contact list to populate a patient list.

With the use of portable media players, medical students at The Ohio State University Medical Center can now carry the equivalent of heavy textbooks and medical references in their lab coat pockets. The portable media players are part of the current technology making it easier for medical students at OSU to navigate classroom lectures and clinical duties with patients. Justin Harper, a third-year medical student, saw the Apple iPod touch and helped launch a program for OSU medical students. The Ohio State University College of Medicine is the only college currently using the iPod touch to give to all its students for educational purposes.

Why have a universal remote control when you can have a universe controller? I was fortunate enough to get to beta test some of ioBridge's forthcoming hardware. Their hardware lets you connect just about anything to the internet. The possibilites with these things are just about limitless. I am convinced I can control just about anything in my house with this little board and my iPhone. The company has a number of premade "smart boards." The modules also have input/output pins so you can get any of your microcontroller projects online.

For the past three years, education leaders from around the world have gathered to debate and discuss issues and challenges facing our education systems.

One qualitative study, which surely won’t be welcomed by manufacturers of basic word processing software, found that students who create and edit documents using Web-based collaboration tools include more complex visual media in their assignments — and come away with a better understanding in the process. Another ongoing experiment finds, with statistical significance, that instructors can be more effective in grading students’ work if they record their comments directly into documents as audio.
