Interesting Posts, part 5
August 12th, 2007 • 3 comments interesting posts, web
Another week, another slew of interesting posts!
This is a 5 page article that dissects and discusses China’s past and present booming counterfeit economy and how it’s affecting both Eastern and Western technologies. It’s interesting to see how this affects Eastern technology companies such as LG or NEC when people are complaining that products they never made are terrible.
While Bergman made some definitely “out there” movies, no character was more prominent in his films than God, whether it was a “sane” Christian God or some perverse shape-shifting God, hellbent on raising psychological terror. BONUS: Read/WriteWeb poll states that most respondents notice no difference in search results when using personalized Google
I can mostly agree with what Mr. MacManus states however, the result set that the articles used is very skewed. How accurate can the results be when hardly any of us search for the same or similar things routinely in order to really train the search agent? If I only search for one query once, the search agent has very little data to go off of in order to really drill down personalized results for me.
I know, it’s over a week old but came out after the last installment of Interesting Posts but it’s still awesome. Even though Sega stopped making hardware years ago and gave up on the Dreamcast way too early, they’re supposedly pumping out some awesome games soon. Personal favorites from the list are ChuChu Rocket!, Nights: Journey of Dreams, Shenmue 1-3 (even though no one knew Shenmue 3 was even in production still!), Skies of Arcadia 2 (the original was so awesome), and Space Channel 3!
I can sympathize with most of this even though I’m not a problogger but I do work at home and most of the issues hit on really can affect you. Although, as a problogger, I figured they’d have better grammar

OK, this isn’t technically an article anyone’s written but how can you deny the coolness of this stone? I think I watched the video three or four times before finally closing the browser. Something so simple and elegant yet so beautiful to watch.
