“There is no specific London style.” At least that’s what the ‘Super Contemporary’ show at London’s Design Museum proclaims. During an exploration of London’s art and design scene in September 2009, what did emerge was a city with a unique sense of its own personality and history, a fertile hub of international thinkers, and a community working towards a future that is designed to be interactive, environmentally responsible, and prosperous. Here is a look at the visual personality of London, based on visits to the city’s major art museums, attendance at the 2009 London Design Festival, and interviews with artists and designers who call the great city home."

'Google trying not to cross 'the creepy line' when it comes to the data it gathers.' | Except they've sprinted wayyy past that line by now to disturbingly ominous - http://news.cnet.com/8301-30...
"Google is trying not to be creepy. That's according to CEO Eric Schmidt, who told Fox Business Thursday that "we're trying not to cross what we call the creepy line" when it comes to the data it gathers. As an example, Schmidt said Google only publishes satellite data that is a month old, indicating that Google would consider it creepy to publish real-time satellite data. Google is quite used to facing charges that it has become a little too Big Brotherish in its conquest of the Internet search market. In response, it emphasizes that Google users have control over the data the company collects on them, most recently introducing Google Dashboard as a way of letting users see all the personal data the company has assembled in a single Web page. That will likely never be enough to satisfy the hardcore privacy advocates of the world, but the general public--and the government--are also starting to get a little uneasy about Google's unparalleled reach across the Internet.

I am signing into FaceBook for the first time in like 5 weeks ~ What should my status be? Hints? suggestions?
// Je me signe en facebook pour la 1ère fois en près de 5 semaines. Ce qui devrait être mon statut? Astuces? Suggestions?
Facebook trying to stay in real time w/ its Live Feed is STILL boring, maybe it's b/c I'm used to FriendFeed, though when it was more lively. ~ soooo this is what we're losing our FF to?
as per my friends on FB they don't even know the import "thingy" exists; my Live Feed/News mainly consists of the same old bad quality youtube video links, mass hum drum picture uploaders & tag me! whores & then a combination of groups joined/things fanned, new friends added (eye roll - that a new especially annoying one) ~ Oh there's also these weird things called status updates, or now known as the prompt "What's on your mind?"
- sofarsoShawn
I like the blank FriendFeed "input box," but I wish it had the same capability to reference friends as Facebook does.

Like a tag in a FB Note? on FF, so it doesn't get lost, If an FF friend is mentioned in the post, I Include them in the too field & shoot them off a DM to bring it to their attention - works hot.

Oh OH & I also notice a new Cr-App: 'Polariod Photos' you can mix & match your old pictures to have 6-in-1! & you gotta tag EVERYONE! ALSOOOO new feature! In the suggested Friend Box is now the suggestion to also write on their wall - like what? Ça va? qu'est ce qui ce passe...? Hey, how's it going...Of course this is all to prompt more activity/interaction, higher usage, more log-ins

LOL sofar it's hilarious, the authour inserts a Zombie scene whenever he believes that Pride & Prejudice drags, which in my opinion is 3/4 of the book. It takes 200 pages for LIzzie to realize Darcy's not a total a-hole.

Pirate Party vs. Copyright Owners Group? ~ so there actually is an official Pirate Party political organization - http://p2ptalk.org/...
"BASCA and the Swedish Pirate Party clash over p2p issue The P2P issue never leaves debates or news – In The City music conference held in Manchester, England saw its first day kicking off with a panel dedicated entirely to this topic. The Pirate Party not only attended the conference but it put forward 5 copyright law reforms it sees fit for the current state of affairs: “First, we want to reduce it to commercial use only,” said Rick Falkvinge founder and chairman of the Swedish Pirate Party, pointing out that file sharing should only be criminalized when it involves commercial purposes. The proposals went on as follows: We want to limit the length of copyright to five years from the day of publication. We want to limit the online technical measures, the purpose of which is to strip consumers of their legal rights. We want to specifically allow remixes and rehashes and encourage the mash-up culture, which today is illegal. We want to strongly keep the right of attribution – that is...
