HTML5 Is Dead, Long Live HTML -- InformationWeek
HTML5, the evolving specification that describes modern Web development technology, has proven to be a hit. It has the backing of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Opera, the major Web browser vendors. Apple and Google even have Web sites specifically to promote HTML5.
Yet only a few days after the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the standards body that oversees the HTML specification, introduced a new HTML5 logo to promote next-generation Web technology, a related standards group, the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) declared that HTML5 should henceforth be referred to simply as HTML.

Borromeo String Quartet and the Digital Tide - NYTimes.com
The Borromeo String Quartet was rehearsing Beethoven’s Quartet in C (Op. 59, No. 3) last week. But instead of reading parts perched on music stands, they followed Beethoven’s notes, in his own handwriting, from the screens of MacBooks. A projector attached to a laptop beamed the manuscript onto a screen behind them.

Technology Review: Tapping the Powers of Persuasion
In his role as director of the Persuasive Technology Laboratory at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, Fogg studies how technology influences behavior. As a consultant to corporations and organizations, he teaches how to design persuasive technologies, those designed to modify behavior without coercion. And as an educator, he's taught many people who now work at Facebook and Google or who have founded other Silicon Valley startups that rely in large part on the power of persuasion.

The Power of Continuous Improvement
Mathematicians will tell you that the only way to learn math is to do math. Lots of it. The same is true in music and sports. While with math you quickly find out whether you’re right or wrong at a very atomic level with each problem you try to solve, with music a student listens to a song many times before she tries to emulate it — and then gets feedback on a note-by-note basis

How Facebook Can Ruin Your Friendships - WSJ.com
One of the big problems is how we converse. Typing still leaves something to be desired as a communication tool; it lacks the nuances that can be expressed by body language and voice inflection. "Online, people can't see the yawn," says Patricia Wallace, a psychologist at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth and author of "The Psychology of the Internet."
