- Headius: A Few Thoughts on Chrome
This looks like a great set of technical observations. Personally I think Chrome is heading to the place Prism wanted to be. - the dynabook, javascript, and real computer literacy
"Watching my child learn reading and writing, it's perfectly obvious to me that this is an incredibly hard and unnatural feat, that we've somehow managed to consistently teach to >99% of the population of the developed world." -- Danny with another delightful piece, this time calling for computer literacy in the young to mean more than teaching them MS Office. - Google's comic capers: what they really meant to say
Actually the meme had already started with Stripped Down but this page is just awesome satire. "Speaking truth to power" as they say. - Precious metals
The inestimable Patrick Finch (now at Mozilla) with his take on Chrome. - ODF approved as Swedish Standard
"Without making a press release or public announcement the Swedish Standards Institute has formally approved ODF 1.0 as a national standard." -- The trend continues. - On the RNC, Monica Bicking, Eryn Trimmer, and Protest
Thoughtful and excellent discussion of the nature of protest and the definition of anarchism, both in the article itself and in the comments that follow. - Jay Rosen: The Culture War Option For The Palin Convention
I can't decide if this is brilliant, or depressingly cynical, or both at the same time.
