I thought such a balanced essay wouldn't inspire anger itself, but HN quickly proved me wrong - Andy Baio

It's almost like he doesn't understand why they're angry and is thus surprised when these people are angry about what he's written. - Adewale Oshineye

One of modern cinema’s most celebrated writers, Kaufman’s work includes surreal fantasy Being John Malkovich, cerebral sci-fi Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and comedy drama Adaptation. In this lecture held at BAFTA on 30 September 2011, he discusses the techniques of writing for the big screen. - Adewale Oshineye

With multiple new ways of listening to sound, whether via your phone, an iPod or your laptop, this week we ask whether radio has a future. Its demise has been foretold many times in recent decades and yet radio has managed to renew itself. But is it facing its biggest challenge yet? http://www.abc.net.au/radiona... - Adewale Oshineye

5by5 - Build and Analyze #78: The Opposite of Instapaper http://5by5.tv/buildanalyze/78 - Adewale Oshineye

The Internet today consists of a morass of partial and redundant content: the ~17m businesses and POI in the US, for example, are duplicated over 1.2 billion website across over 5 million domains. This tangle of duplicate, fragmentary, and often incorrect information ensures that unequivocally identifying a person, place or thing on the Internet will always be a challenge. The members of this panel are working to fix this, and will discuss their projects in the Library, Government, and Big Data sectors to create an Internet where real-world people, places, and things can be referenced unambiguously. It focuses on pragmatic, real-world examples: the panelists from Factual, the Sunlight Foundation, Jetpac, and the Internet Archive each highlight their specific experiences in creating platforms and apps that identify and disambiguate individual entities across applications and verticals, and describe both the pitfalls and benefits of working towards an Internet of Entities. - Adewale Oshineye

The Internet Age: an era of unprecedented freedom in both communication and culture. However each major new medium, from telephone to satellite television, has crested a wave of similar idealistic optimism, before succumbing to the inevitable undertow of industrial consolidation. Every once free and open technology has, in time, become centralised and closed; a huge corporate power taking control of the 'master switch.' Today, as a similar struggle looms over the internet, increasingly the pipeline of all other media, the stakes have never been higher. Tim Wu is a Columbia Law professor, author, policy advocate, who first coined the phrase "net neutrality". He visits the RSA to deliver an essential review of information technology history and to share his unique insight into the next chapter of global communications. Speaker: Timothy Wu, Professor at Columbia Law School, policy advocate and author of The Master Switch (Atlantic Books, 2011). Chair: Tom Chatfield, author, tech and... - Adewale Oshineye

"Better organization and document management could solve some of the problems. But attempts to fix corporate document management also caused some of them, so one has to be careful. We might've had better luck if more of the physical office libraries still existed. We only retained some of the documents because one of them did. Memory of techniques and importance is even harder. Maintaining a continuous gradient of ages in the company probably helps, so you don't fall off a memory cliff when one cohort of employees retires. But maybe engineering archaeology will always exist. The more I look around, the more the engineering world, once you go back more than a few years, looks like subterranean New York City. A mass of strange engineering feats humming away out of sight, produced by long-forgotten ancient peoples, leaving only fragmentary maps and diagrams." - Adewale Oshineye

"Luckily, while I was looking in the iTunes directory, I noticed a sub-directory called "Previous iTunes Libraries". Inside that dicrectory were several copies of my "iTunes Library.itl" file. The most current one was about three months old - probably the last time I upgraded iTunes." - Adewale Oshineye

"iTunes Library.xml contains some (but not all) of the same information stored in the iTunes Library file. The purpose of the iTunes Library.xml file is to make your music and playlists available to other applications on your computer. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new copy from the iTunes Library file." - Adewale Oshineye

"The draft paper I am presenting, “But the Data is Already Public”: On the Ethics of Research in Facebook, retells the circumstances around the T3 project and my partial re-identification of the dataset. It also describes some of the good faith efforts made by the T3 researchers to try to ensure the anonymity of the data, but exposes the limitations and errors in their procedures. Finally, it highlights the broader challenges for engaging in research on/in social networking sites that this case brings to light. " - Adewale Oshineye

"A study which is to be unveiled on August 4th at Black Hat, a security conference in Las Vegas, suggests that day is close. Its authors, Alessandro Acquisti, Ralph Gross and Fred Stutzman, all at America’s Carnegie Mellon University, ran several experiments that show how three converging technologies are undermining privacy. One is face-recognition software itself, which has improved a lot. The researchers also used “cloud computing” services, which provide lots of cheap processing power. And they went to social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, where most users post real names and photos of themselves." - Adewale Oshineye

"The illusion of asymmetric insight makes it seem as though you know everyone else far better than they know you, and not only that, but you know them better than they know themselves. You believe the same thing about groups of which you are a member. As a whole, your group understands outsiders better than outsiders understand your group, and you understand the group better than its members know the group to which they belong." - Adewale Oshineye

HP proved that most people don't want to buy an incremental improvement to the iPhone that can't run iOS apps. Then just for kicks, HP went and proved the same point again with the TouchPad. The lesson to other mobile companies, I think, is that unless you're a low-cost Asian vendor, you need to differentiate from Apple, not draft behind it. - Adewale Oshineye
