Making Future Magic: Incidental Media
http://vidque.com/lukas/50607/making-future-magic-incidental-media
This is the first of two video sketches looking at media surfaces, and illustrating some of the ideas and principles behind Dentsu London's communications strategy http://www.dentsulondon.com/making-futur e-magic-series/

Here, media includes messages from friends and social services, like Foursquare or Twitter, and also more functional messages from companies or services like banks or airlines alongside large traditional big 'M' Media (like broadcast or news publishing).

The second sketch "The Journey", looks at train travel. You can see it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC5mYY820 8k

This is part of a collaboration between Dentsu London and BERG. You can read more about both films at Dentsu London's blog http://www.dentsulondon.com/blog/2010/11 /03/mediasurfaces/

Performance Portable C++
http://www.ddj.com/development-tools/207600622
Writing portable code is almost always a matter of proper and powerful abstractions. But sometimes just getting your code to compile on a range of platforms is only half the battle. Sometimes you also need to get it to run fast on all those platforms. Jeff Keasler of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has written a tremendously useful article -- It's a pretty powerful technique for avoiding some coding nightmares.

Show HN: GoSneeze - My Attempt To Capture Local News
http://gosneeze.com
Hi HN - long time lurker, first time proper poster here!

I'm a 20-year-old Economics student at University College London and I've run a few blogs over the past few years. I want to try and tackle something bigger so using the few technical skills I had picked up and some Wordpress magic, I've hacked together GoSneeze.

The ultimate aim is to go after the local news market but at an extremely micro scale, but with a stance in favour of anonymity in order to provide greater transparency.

Please give me as much feedback as you can, and I'll try and reply to any questions you have.

Show HN: Coffeehouse, one-on-one voicechat with random HN users
https://coffeehouse.chat/hn#
One-on-one, because it's simpler:

- When one stops talking, the other starts.

- No groups, no hierarchy, no status.

Voicechat, because it's more intimate then text and more private then video.

With other HN readers, because that creates some common ground.
Ask HN: Should I join OMSCS offered by Georgia Tech & Udacity?
I am working in a multinational software company in India at an entry level position. I have an experience of almost 2 years now.

A few months back, the OMSCS (http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/ ) program was announced. And, the way it has created buzz, it seems exciting and something which would add value.<p>However, everyone I have asked so far, seem to be quite skeptic about this course. They disregard it calling it “ a distance learning course”, which has will add only nominal importance.<br/>I have a few queries in this regard:

1. I have a job that occupies a hell lot of my time. 50 hours is minimum and then I've to work over-time and sometimes on weekends as well. Would it be a good idea to leave my job and work on this degree for 2 years from my home? Some people deem such a step as “stupid and risky”.

2. In the course, I am sure that there will be projects where we'll have to collaborate with other members. What if I have a team where others are doing this degree alongside their job and are not able to spend much time with me (in coding or in discussions) ? After all, once the professor has delivered his/her lecture, it is working with people that enhances our learning. Would it not be better to have a few of my friends also register for the course, so that, we can study together and collaborate on projects?

3. Would this degree be treated at par with the on-campus degree while I apply for jobs (in both the developed and the non-developing world)?

4. Any other suggestion on why (or why not) this course should be done.

iPad Smart Cover video (uncut)
http://tapmates.com/blog/smart-cover-video
The current notification system in iOS is lacking to say the least. Only one notification is shown at a time so its not very useful—especially on the lock screen.

The unveiling of the iPad 2 along with Shawn Hickens wonderful redesign sparked our interest in the current system. I had some fun over the weekend and came up with a new look for when the Smart Cover is in place.
The Google phone with no network
https://plus.google.com/113654430437503596250/posts/M2yjCP9BYmj
Dear Hackernews,

I am a developer who uses Android as my primary connection to the Internet when roaming... which is often. Unfortunately I can't keep a network connection with this phone and I am not the only one.

It seems that Android ICS (v.4) cannot maintain a connection when switching between types of network. Whether that be Wifi back to 3G or even HSPA+ to 3G to Edge and vise versa.

Can we get a little HackerNews bump on this issue so that Google will take a look? I've posted to Google's help forums and even aggregated a few of the related issue threads though they seem to be very slow to respond.

Just in case you're wondering, yes I have talked to my carrier and they gave me the usual dumb trial and error responses, none of which work. They say they get 12-15 calls a day from Toronto on this issue (not sure if that is one rep or the entire office). They were very happy to get some debugging info from me.

Know someone at Google? Tap them on the shoulder if you don't mind doing so. I am at the point where I'm ready to replace my two-month-old phone because of this obvious defect.

Many thanks.

Ask HN: Which software is a beacon of UI/UX to you?
I am mainly a backend dev but I always was interested in graphics and also GUI development.

Recently I am trying to get into the topic a bit again and play around with various frameworks and watch videos about UI/UX.

I would love to inspect some software with exceptionally great interface/usability. So what the title says.. what's your favorite and why?
Ask HN: How do you not lose username/passwords when someone leaves your team?
This idea seems almost too good to be true - in my experience the HN hive mind can always find the problem with something that's too good to be true.

Last company was a medium to large UK corporate which built medical software. Developers and product would sign up for all kind of random websites and services, when that person left, moved jobs, forgot the password or was on holiday then that website or service would become inaccessible - this happened more than once.

With a server this problem is solved with service accounts - where multiple users can login as themselves but then act as the service account. Access is logged, audited and can be controlled and assigned easily.

I'm wondering if it's worth me building a tool that can replicate that functionality for random or low tech websites and services. Call this software - Servicio.

When an employee signs up to a website or product, they generate a new email in Servicio and get assigned a password which they put in. The password is copied to their clipboard* and the user/employee doesn't get to see it.

When someone else wants to log into this service, they have to log in to Servicio with their user credentials, find the service, get the password copied to their clipboard* and then paste it in.

Someone will have to rotate passwords, and manage this software but in companies with software developers this administrator's time will be less expensive than that of the product/developer time.

*This is one snag I've worked out so far. An enterprising member of staff could inspect their clipboard or just paste the password into a word document. I don't have a method for avoiding this without building something native.

pervasive monitoring represents an attack on the Internet
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg12179.html
The IAB believes that pervasive monitoring represents an attack on the Internet in as much as large amounts of information that is intended to be confidential between sets of individuals is in fact gathered and aggregated by third parties. Such a broad scale attack can undermine confidence in the infrastructure, no matter the intent of those collecting the information.
Iphone Apps That Designers or Developers Would Actually Use
http://www.designyourway.net/blog/resources/iphone-apps-that-designers-would-actually-use/
As a designer, if you search for Iphone apps to suit your needs, you end up finding a lot of them, even on lists made by other designers, that are not actually useful and don’t justify their price. I wanted to check the market for Iphone apps to see how they can improve my life as a designer since a friend of mine was interested in creating apps. From what he told me, it seemed that a lot of time and effort was invested in these applications and that meant only good things for the ones that will use them, that is a promising thing with high expectations. So I investigated throughout the AppStore to collect the most useful apps for a designer or developer. I was glad to find out that some of these are free, only some of them. For the rest, the price per quality rule applies.
