| Posted: 17 Jun 2008 11:48 AM CDT Blurb gives individuals and groups the ability to create, publish and market professional quality photo books. Unlike offset printing, they can publish just one copy or thousands, bringing book publishing to the masses.

| Nokia In Light of the 3G iPhone Posted: 17 Jun 2008 11:32 AM CDT In a recent post on the impact of 3G iPhone on RIM, we saw how RIM and Nokia stand to gain from the iPhone momentum in the smartphone industry. In April, Tom Libretto, vice president of Forum Nokia, talked about a new touch-screen mobile phone that is supposed to take on the iPhone. Called the Tube, it will support Java and is most likely to have a keyboard, GPS, and run on the Symbian S60 platform. In October 2007, Nokia developed a touch screen version of the OS that will support finger and stylus input as well as tactile feedback. |
| Towards Personalization: Strands Founder Francisco Martin (Part 2) Posted: 17 Jun 2008 01:55 AM CDT SM: Did you cash out and make a clean break from Intelligent Software Components? FM: Yes. Part of the deal with Banco Santander was the partial purchase of shareholder equity. I cashed out and took sabbatical leave in September of 2002. In February of 2003 I moved to Oregon. I met a professional in Oregon who is an expert in Machine Learning, Tom Dietterich. I went to work with him trying to learn more things and I also worked for DARPA for a while. I was trying to do things with DNA as well as add a few new layers onto the Internet including the Knowledge Plain to better understand what is going on with the Internet. This was the basis for the self healing capabilities of the internet. |
