"SlideME's philosophy is simple: one Application Store can't reach everyone, everywhere with the applications they want. We provide applications to these niche markets, based on geographic location, payment method or even types of applications that users can't find in traditional channels. We open up these markets to developers, who can deliver and sell their applications globally. We are currently focused on the Android platform but keep an eye out for additional platforms and niche markets." - Test Information Space

Cases where course media is accessible in this mode might be relevant. Web anywhere is liberating & might bootstrap a new type of knowledge structure. More stuff can be quickly shared. Networks become dynamic rather than only using static locations. The internet of things communicates to devices also, e.g. appliances or automobiles. This can be a sort of remote. Will complement the cloud. Case studies would be appropriate. Resources attached. Thanks. Links: http://cadsmith.wordpress.com/2009... http://delicious.com/johnro... - Test Information Space

"BeepBeep is a lightweight runtime monitor for AJAX web applications. It transparently checks in real time whether XML messages received and sent by the application satisfy a predefined interface specification. This specification can impose constraints on the ordering of messages, on the data values inside one or multiple messages, or a combination of both. Using BeepBeep prevents an AJAX application from sending erroneous messages all the way to the server, saving bandwidth, server processing time and a few bugs along the way." - Test Information Space

"JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language." - Test Information Space

"JSON is a lightweight text format for data interchange. It is often better suited for structured data than XML. A frequently requested task with JSON data is its transformation to other formats, especially to XML or HTML for further processing. The most obvious way to achive this, is to use a programming language (ECMAscript, Ruby,…) and the DOM-API. In XML we can transform documents by another XML document containing transformation rules (XSLT) and applying these rules using an XSLT-processor. Adopting that concept I have been experimenting with a set of transformation rules (written in JSON). As a result in analogy to XML/XSLT the combination JSON/JSONT can be used to transform JSON data into any other format by applying a specific set of rules." - Test Information Space

"JSLint is a JavaScript program that looks for problems in JavaScript programs. It is a code quality tool. When C was a young programming language, there were several common programming errors that were not caught by the primitive compilers, so an accessory program called lint was developed that would scan a source file, looking for problems. As the language matured, the definition of the language was strengthened to eliminate some insecurities, and compilers got better at issuing warnings. lint is no longer needed. JavaScript is a young-for-its-age language. It was originally intended to do small tasks in webpages, tasks for which Java was too heavy and clumsy. But JavaScript is a very capable language, and it is now being used in larger projects. Many of the features that were intended to make the language easy to use are troublesome for larger projects. A lint for JavaScript is needed: JSLint, a JavaScript syntax checker and validator." - Test Information Space

"From Waterloo Labs, "DIY projects deep in the heart of Texas." This video's relevance to Shareable.net's editorial mission is debatable, but there are several shareable things I love about it: 1) the obvious joy these guys take in collaboration; 2) the subversive way they hack the car, an iPhone, and numerous other devices to make unrelated machines talk to each other; and 3) their use of YouTube to spread the word and encourage other people to "try this at home." Bottom line: This is kewl. " - Test Information Space

"In May 2007, President Bush authorized the National Security Agency, based at Fort Meade, Md., to launch a sophisticated attack on an enemy thousands of miles away without firing a bullet or dropping a bomb. At the request of his national intelligence director, Bush ordered an NSA cyberattack on the cellular phones and computers that insurgents in Iraq were using to plan roadside bombings. The devices allowed the fighters to coordinate their strikes and, later, post videos of the attacks on the Internet to recruit followers. According to a former senior administration official who was present at an Oval Office meeting when the president authorized the attack, the operation helped U.S. forces to commandeer the Iraqi fighters' communications system. With this capability, the Americans could deceive their adversaries with false information, including messages to lead unwitting insurgents into the fire of waiting U.S. soldiers." - Test Information Space

"When Americans think of the Indian technology sector, they still perceive a nation of call center workers and low-level computer programmers administering databases and updating websites. But while the West was sleeping, Indian IT morphed into a giant R&D machine. Indian companies that started out doing call center and low-level IT work have climbed the value chain to become outsourced providers of critical R&D in sophisticated areas such as semiconductor design, aerospace, automotive, network equipment and medical devices." - Test Information Space

"Community management is still a very new profession." (p356) This ambitious volume is smoothly written enough that it can be seamlessly read in a long session. The role in question might be likened to Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark". The book is part case study that benefits from hindsight and also a set of templates for strategic plans, teams and values built on trust. The model chosen for the latter distinguishes types of groups, risks and scalability. For example, there is something that keeps volunteers loyal through adversities, if not only a ballad. Communities have notoriously been criticized for decision-making capabilities due to red-tape or lack of communication, so these layers are addressed by recommendations. The ability of the internet to handle distribution is exploited for advantage. Readers are given tools to create groups that would be self-correcting and -replicating, a sort of penguin meets guerrilla... - Test Information Space

" Back in 1995, Deep Kalra knew that India had burgeoning consumer promise. So he took a risk, quit his safe-but-boring banking job and joined AMF Bowling—an American company that was aiming to bring bowling alleys and billiard halls to India for the first time. It didn’t quite scratch his entrepreneurial itch: The hobby was ahead of its time for Indians. He managed to open about 200 lanes, most of them in small centers. Worse, Kalra was in that business-man’s-limbo: The venture wasn’t really his own thing, but he had a remote boss back in America who didn’t give him much mentorship or guidance. So after four years, he headed back into the safe world of banking. And then, in 2000, with some money saved up, he decided to leave again and do things his way. Enamored by the Internet and frustrated by how hard it was to travel in India he opened MakeMyTrip.com. The site—as you might guess from the name—was like any of the online travel brokers started during the dot com bubble..." - Test Information Space
