- Stunning, if annoyingly pseudo-political, video if you're into graphic design stuff Even if you can't cope with the mixed "actually true and scary" / "cheap propagandising arse" message, then the infographics / constructivist stylings are worth checking out.
- Shelf life - applications of RFID in Libraries At the moment almost the most important things that technologists shouls be developing are systems of identifiers for objects and concepts and things, ways of inter-relating them and new ways of describing them.
- Microsoft's new beta for search isn't in any way biased towards their products I mean God knows there probably is only one web page on the entire internet that has "Word" on it - and it's not Merriam-Webster's dictionary at word.com! This is just dumb - people are not going to use and trust a search engine that so blatantly deforms

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
The Microsoft search doesn't much care for firefox either. One of the first links to come up is:
'Compare Secure IE Web Browser to Firefox - www.secureie.com
See why Secure IE is better. Secure IE seals browser security leaks to provide a faster and safer browsing experience.'
I wonder if secure IE comes up under a search for 'oxymoron'?
