"We've found that certain search terms are good indicators of flu activity. Google Flu Trends uses aggregated Google search data to estimate flu activity in your state up to two weeks faster than traditional flu surveillance systems. But can search query trends provide an accurate, reliable model of real-world phenomena? We have found a close relationship between how many people search for flu-related topics and how many people actually have flu symptoms. Of course, not every person who searches for "flu" is actually sick, but a pattern emerges when all the flu-related search queries from each state and region are added together." - Goran Zec

Legende. Ovo im je najbolja izvedba koju sam čuo, poslije su se ošišali i ne zrače istom manijakalnom odlučnošću. - Goran Zec

The Institute for the Future of the Book kicks off an experiment in close reading. Seven women will read Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook and carry on a conversation in the margins. - Ognjen Strpić

TV nije vulgarna i lascivna i glupa zato što je njena publika vulgarna i glupa. Televizija je takva kakva jest jednostavno zato što su ljudi najčešće iznimno slični u svojim vulgarnim i lascivnim i glupim interesima, a bezgranično različiti u svojim profinjenim i estetskim i plemenitim interesima.

grep -v twitter? Ne kužim zašto bi to uopće bio problem? - Goran Zec

znači onda ipak više uopće ne vuče tweetove, čak i kad nisu s FF-a? Mislio sam da ih prosijava tako da u FF uđu oni koji nisu ušli u Twitter preko FF-a, plus oni koji jesu ušli preko FF-a kao reply to twitter, a ostali se bacaju - Ognjen Strpić

Changes in politics, technology and psychiatry all seem to colour the preoccupations of the deluded as reported in the patient records. A Slovenian research team, led by psychiatrist Borut Skodlar, discovered that the Ljubljana psychiatric hospital had patient records going as far back as 1881. They randomly selected 10 records from every 10 year period to see how delusions matched up to the society of the time. - Ognjen Strpić

"Both of these new technical devices, which served as a means to powerfully and quickly disseminate information, apparently became appropriate for 'serving' as a means of influence and control in the eyes of schizophrenia patients." -- ovo je Szasz sasvim dobro objasnio. Televizija i jest sredstvo kontrole, wake up sheeple. - Goran Zec

One key finding was that paranoid and persecutory delusions seem much more common now, with a big jump after the 1960s, in line with other studies that have found that paranoia is much more common in the modern age." --- s linkom na kafku retoricki se ponovno treba upitati: nisu li umjetnici vrlo osjetljivi primopredajnici ciji se signal najdalje prima? - klaudio

"The Firefox add-on China Channel offers internet users outside of China the ability to surf the web as if they were inside mainland China. Take an unforgetable virtual trip to China and experience the technical expertise of the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry (supported by western companies).

@Petar Milat: Katkad treba više od epiloga pročitati da bi se oknjizi predavanje držalo. OpenMute i FM+Lula su dva različita projekta kojima je istina bog zajednički termin "print-on-demand". Samo termin Petre. Različito editiranje, različite tiskare, različita kvaliteta ispisa, različita distribucija... Isto tako, jebi si mater Petre sa tim "klikalo po tom lukinom softveru" foricama. Software sam pisao ja i nakačiti takav komentar meni na članak povlači oveću količinu bezobraštine i nepoštovanja sa sobom. - Aleksandar Erkalovic

"The purpose of this introduction is to provide a conceptual, historical, and scholarly context for the articles in this collection. We begin by defining what constitutes a social network site and then present one perspective on the historical development of SNSs, drawing from personal interviews and public accounts of sites and their changes over time. Following this, we review recent scholarship on SNSs and attempt to contextualize and highlight key works. We conclude with a description of the articles included in this special section and suggestions for future research." - Goran Zec

"An obvious example of this shift was Namniyaz Ashuratova - a conceptual web-artist and virtual personality of the new generation. In her projects she graphically demonstrated the mechanisms of the formation of stereotypes of thinking and subjected them to fierce criticism. The project, “Self-identification System” is described thus (Ashuratova, 1999a): The visitor is given the option of creating a composition of symbols, which determine his or her uniqueness. An international identificational jury examines this data and gives each visitor an assessment (index of identification). The principles of assessment 219 are not known and, generally speaking, they can change every now and then. Perhaps the behaviour of the jury is governed by such principles as political correctness or ethnic hatred – who knows?" - Goran Zec

"The puritan impulse -- purification, the realization of purity -- imparts a certain rigidity and aggression to al possible actions on behalf of such a total critique. This must seem especially the case when the critique extents beyond, say, urban civilization (or "History") into the "prehistoric" realm of art, music, techné, language, and symbolic mediation itself. Short of some hypothetically "natural" evolution (or devolution) of the very species, how precisely is such purity to be attained? Primitivism in effect has proposed an absolute category -- the "primitive" itself -- which assumes the function of a metaphysical principle Of course the primitive in its "true essence" remains beyond definition (beyond symbolic mediation), but until mediation itself is abolished, the primitive must assume (in relation to all other possible totalities) the philosophical trappings of an imperative, and even of "doctrine". This brings us perilously close to the notorious violence of the sacred." - Goran Zec

"That's because a single Facebook "friend" category actually includes family, friends, acquaintances, people you've met once at a party but don't really remember, ex-colleagues, people from the same profession, people you play with online, etc. It doesn't necessarily say anything bad about Facebook. The author created an event with himself as the topic and invited a bunch of strangers - what else did he expect? You can also use Facebook to find out which ones of your friends (and "friends" you'd potentially like to befriend) are attending events on interests you share. I'm sure the talk would be much more lively. Now, I'll admit that described is an idealized version of Facebook. In actuality, it's full of shit quizzes, idiotic gifts and games and it encourages trivial exchanges by constantly introducing new shiny toys, which drown actual content (coordinating events, sharing interests, photographs and interesting life stories) by a huge margin. While you might like to know a few guys..." - Goran Zec

The Network and the digital fundamentally changes the way we think about a thing. The digital thing is not singular, it is a multiplicity by nature. In a cloud, it doesn’t need to be duplicated and transferred, it only needs to be matched. For those digital things that are publicly visible through the Network, the next biological imperative is to attract pointers, hyperlinks. Pointers are digital things as well, they’re just moving through a faster stream. Their velocity gives them a fundamentally different character. ... It’s not what we wish or hope, but rather what we do. Acting on partial information within a barely visible system is an act of faith. - Ognjen Strpić
