- what to make of the american election: a guide to the brit-perplexed
I found this fascinating - not seen anything like it in any of my reading elsewhere. I'd be interested in an opinion on its accuracy from an informed American. - EA Loosens Spore's DRM, Account Restrictions
Don't be fooled, anyone. EA's use of DRM still treats the people that pay as the enemy while doing nothing whatever about the people who don't. It's invasive, potentially harmful but most importantly it is the pinnacle of disrespect to say "thanks for the cash but we're going to mess your machine up in a way you can't fix, becuase we think you may be a thief but not one smart enough to actually get round the harm we're doing." EA calls you dishonest and dumb, even after these "concessions". - My comment on Luis Villa’s Blog / what you can (and can’t) learn from Google’s EULA mistake
Keeping a note of my comment, because I think this is an important point both for my client/colleagues and for others. By the way, Luis, I wish your blog kept the name entered when OpenID is used to authenticate. - Tax Plans (that’s one for you, nineteen for me).
If you are a lover of Edward Tufte's clear graphic communications, you should find this chart wonderful. The design, anyway, the truth it reveals is much more disturbing in many dimensions.
- Keynote for Holland Open 2008
My keynote slides from Friday - probably only of interest to conference attendees. - Manually entered with ScribeFire again.
