Take a look at the South African Bill of Rights - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_South_Africa_Ch... - it includes rights to education, health care, water, access to i…

The author is right about PowerPoint wanting "to organize the talk" - does anyone know any presentation software which breaks from this?

I had no idea about this before this article (I'm not American...) - incredible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment

It's very different when you're at the game - the vuvuzelas near you are distinguishable and you can hear people singing. Obviously that's not ideal for watching it on tv - the vuv…

I haven't really looked into it; but do open source contributors not have a problem with using a closed platform to manage their products?

The way for Buzz to instantly gain credibility would be for Google to take the Diaspora route and open it up as a decentralised platform. What I've found interesting is that part o…

What have all the other video-calling capable phones been using thus far? Is there no existing standard?

There is some info at http://www.siliconcape.com/ (Cape Town focused).

As an aside; is there a web based email service/client comparable to gmail? More particularly is there one which handles conversation view as well as gmail does? Until there is the…

Sure - these are issues which need to be sorted out. But it's not the end of the world if the average user doesn't completely understand the system as long as it works.

I sure hope not - decentralised social networking (whoever makes it) is the only logical way forward. Imagine email was controlled by one company.

If it is true that it is impossible to create a video codec which doesn't infringe on existing patents then surely it is impossible for anybody to argue that there isn't something …

Amongst all my friends Facebook is almost entirely the only communication tool save for cell phones. Any good alternatives which won't have the problems that Facebook does that I c…

I keep hearing this 'don't post it if you'd never want it public' mantra; but surely there should be a way for us to post thoughts/content to friends with an expectation that only …

My first thought on reading the title was that they don't want the content accessible from the iPad so that they could charge for an app. The other reasons discussed make sense (me…

You want to be careful of plain old proportional representation. We have that here in South Africa and the result has been MPs who toe the party and line and have no ties to consti…

He does say that they have declined to purchase information in the past, which lends credibility to his claim.

Sure - you'll need to take a bit of a wait and see approach, but personally I'm hesitant to build anything at this point. If I wanted to build something serious on it I'd be relyin…

Except how many developers want a random (to the user) shared login? I'm doubtful that logging into a non-Google site with a Google account or using Facebook Connect is yet a stand…

The authentication functionality demoed in the screen cast is cool - but looking at the notebook app it seems that it is a Akshell branded system. Are you going to offer customisat…

Cloning the core doesn't sound simple (even if it is). Making it easy to move away lowers the potential cost of using Akshell - I really don't want to be locked in. How about open …

That's why the article argues that Google should be releasing tools to make this development easier - a framework can deal with a lot of the inconsistencies between browsers.

Your hotornot idea is great, so much potential to expand it... Might have just found a weekend project :)

The correct solution for Android would be for Google to release UI guidelines (perhaps these exist, I don't know) - but don't stop developers from innovating and then letting the u…

The hate is because it doesn't make it right. You're just saying that it's not so bad.
