Twitter Is Tracking You On The Web, Here’s What You Can Do To Stop It | Lifehacker Australia
11 days ago
Basically, every time you visit a site that has a follow button, a “tweet this” button, or a hovercard, Twitter is recording your behaviour. It is transparently watching your movements and storing them somewhere for later use. Right now, that data will make better suggestions for accounts you might want to follow. But what other things can it be used for? The privacy implications of such behaviour by a company so large are sweeping and absolute.
If tracking your behaviour transparently is acceptable in the pursuit of a better user experience, why isn’t it also acceptable in the pursuit of monetization? Is it OK for Twitter to sell your web browsing history to advertisers? The company is playing with a very slippery slope.

A wireframe kit for Google Drawings
17 days ago
5 reasons Google Drawings beats Viso and Omnigraffle
We know the cloud computing arguments, and they certainly apply to wireframes
It’s live. The entire team can work on the same document and see each other’s work instantly
The wireframes live in the cloud, no sending files around, no outdated documents
The risk of losing data is zero. It saves for every edit you make
It’s free
Most people already have a Google account, so no sign up required
We need stencils
One thing was missing though: Stencils. Omnigraffle has stencils coming out of its ears, and Fireworks has some excellent built-in ones. But Google Drawings in its current early and simple form simply doesn’t have it. So I made one.

Ultimate Guide to Website Wireframing
17 days ago
Most designers wireframe their designs in one way or another, even if it just involves them making quick sketches on the back of some scratch paper. Wireframing is an important part of the design process, especially for more complex projects.
Wireframes can come in handy when you’re communicating with clients, as it allows them to visualize your ideas more easily than when you just describe them verbally.
This guide covers what you need to know about website wireframes to get started.
It also provides links to online wireframing tools, to help you mock up your wireframes quickly and easily.

itunes doesn't recognize my iphone! HELP! - MacRumors Forums
24 days ago
I had the same problem using Windows XP SP3. I successfully resolved it by updating the drivers for the iphone, but I had to do it using the following procedure.
1. Right-click on "My Computer" in the "Start" menu and choose "Manage"
2. Click on "Device Manager" and locate the iphone device. In the above example where the iphone is connecting as a camera, you'll probably find the iphone under "imaging devices". It may also be listed as a USB device.
3. Right-click on the iphone device and choose "Update Driver"
4. When the Updating Hardware wizard starts, choose "Update from a list or specific location" rather than the default "Install the software automatically" .
5. Choose to include the following location in your driver search "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" - browse to the location to make sure it exists.
6. Let the update run... after restarting the PC and running itunes...there was my iphone.

STAR COMMAND: Sci-Fi meets GameDev Story for iOS and Android by Star Command » What the hell did you do with our money? — Kickstarter
5 weeks ago
In honor of tax day, we thought we would give some insight to our backers (as well as potential kickstarters) to how we spent the funds we were given at the end of September. Hopefully it sheds some light on why money disappears so quickly for game development.
Our kickstarter earned $36,967 after asking for $20,000 so that was incredible.
To begin with, we didn't get all of that. We lost about $2,000 to no-shows, just people that pledged and the funds did not transfer.
That got us down to $35k, and kickstarter and Amazon Payments take their portions, which got us down to right around $32,000.
Now, right off the top you had $10,000 for prize fulfillment. That includes printing the posters, the shirts and shipping everything (thanks Australia). If we had to do it again, we would have probably had the price point a bit higher for the t-shirts and posters, as those turned to be a very large expense. We also would have included the cost of a 3rd party fulfillment house...

Kickstarter Successfully Raises over $119 Million in its 3rd Year
5 weeks ago
Last year (2011), to celebrate the company’s second anniversary, Kickstarter posted some metrics to the company blog. Among the most impressive figures was $40M pledged to 7,496 successfully funded campaigns, or 85% of the total amount pledged on the site.
...
In the year since Kickstarter reported its numbers (ie 2012), the company helped raise a total of $119.6M for successfully-funded projects. That’s almost three times as much as the amount raised during the company’s first two years. Taking into account Kickstarter’s 5% commission, we can estimate that the company took home just shy of $6M in commission revenue in its third year. And it’s not the only one cashing in: with Amazon’s commission of 2.9% plus 30¢ per transaction, the online retailer pulled at least $3.M in fees during the same period.

Tutorial: Exporting Zotero to Excel | Royce Kimmons

Zotero's a great tool for managing your citation library, but sometimes you need that data elsewhere, and though Zotero has some good export features, you may sometimes want something like a simple spreadsheet of citations to work with.Zotero runs on a SQLite database, which makes report generation and, thereby, conversion to a different format difficult for the lay user. To export Zotero, we will open the SQLite database, submit a query, and then copy the results to Excel, Calc, or another spreadsheet program.Let's get started!

There's a Book For That: Ferret Fun
january 2012
I love this book! When I first read it, I wasn't sure that the format/topic would be one that would interest kids. However, after reading it for a second time, I noticed the humor in the book that I think kids and adults would enjoy. Fudge and Einstein are two ferrets who are used to relaxing in their hammocks and eating raisins. When Marvel the cat comes to visit, their day is turned upside-down. Marvel thinks they look a lot like rats (and she likes to eat rats).
Einstein and Fudge have to stand up to Marvel and soon they are all getting along together. Karen Rostoker-Gruber has written Ferret Fun with an embedded message that is not overt but enhances the story.

Google Search Operators - Google Guide
december 2011
The following is an alphabetical list of the search operators. This list includes operators that are not officially supported by Google and not listed in Google’s online help.
Note: Google may change how undocumented operators work or may eliminate them completely.
Each entry typically includes the syntax, the capabilities, and an example. Some of the search operators won’t work as intended if you put a space between the colon (:) and the subsequent query word. If you don’t care to check which search operators require no space after the colon, always place the keyword immediately next to the colon. Many search operators can appear anywhere in your query. In our examples, we place the search operator as far to the right as possible. We do this because the Advanced Search form writes queries in this way. Also, such a convention makes it clearer as to which operators are associated with which terms.

Publications in your PhD « The Thesis Whisperer
december 2011
In fact, if I had my time over, I would just compose my PhD out of published papers; the so called the ‘PhD by publication’ method. In some countries, such as Sweden, or in some disciplines, such as the sciences, doing a collection of papers instead of a ‘big book’ is a common way to get your PhD. I’m not sure about the UK, but in Australia many universities have a ‘PhD by publication’ stream – but people are usually warned not to enrol in it because it is not a ‘proper’ PhD.

How it works: greenID
december 2011
Our simplest verification process involves matching your existing customer information against up to five separate databases including:
* Sensis White Pages
* Australian Electoral Roll
* GDC National Telephone File
* GDC Citizen File
* The Transaction History Database
If two, three or four matches of name, address or phone records are all you require, greenID can provide verification against these files without requiring any effort or potentially sensitive input from your customers. It's a process that requires no additional information from your customer and will typically verify 30% of your customers.
For more comprehensive verification, we'll ask your customers to prove that they have relationships with various organisations both government and non government. This kind of search builds on the initial process to meet 85-95% of verification needs.

Summary: Privacy by Design gained international recognition with the signing of the Privacy by Design Resolution at the 32nd International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in Jerusalem. The resolution is intended to help preserve privacy into the future.
Protecting security and privacy
Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada, has been championing the idea of Privacy by Design since the 1990s.
Rather than sacrificing one for the other, the concept of Privacy by Design suggests that organizations should design a system that protects both.
Instead of treating privacy as an afterthought, Privacy by Design offers a proactive and prescriptive response that is entrenched into the very fabric of the organization.

Artful academics are new kids on the blog
november 2011
He says academics research, write and talk — so what better platform for reaching an audience and sharing research than a blog? Universities obviously agree because increasing numbers are eager to have their staff blog, not only to inform other academics and outsiders of their research but also to use blogging as a new pedagogical teaching system.
Most Victorian universities have created blogging sites on their home webpages for their opinionated academics and students. Monash's site, blogs.monash.edu, lists more than 60 blogs that offer information, advice and commentaries, while RMIT University created a site last month called "blog central" as a space for academics to blog, with 15 categories ranging from arts and community to social science and sustainability.

Academic blogging at Catallaxy Files
november 2011
Academics wondering whether they should venture into cyberspace should consider its reach, says Adrian Miles, a senior lecturer in media and communications at RMIT. Mr Miles has 1000 readers a week for his VLOG 4.0 blog. Although he describes it as “a very small blog”, he contrasts it with being published in a major international journal where, he says, “maybe 100 people would read my article”.

Why academics should blog
november 2011
People who are curious about the world around them and can jot down a few thoughts can be bloggers. Over and above anything else that academics do, they are observers. Academics observe the world around them and theorise. Why, what, when and how is our bread and butter.
It is unsurprising then that many bloggers are academics. Those people already active in the market for ideas are likely to explore different avenues for communicating with different parts of the market.
Universities are ideal forums for blogging. They are important and broadly respected social institutions that exist to propagate and disseminate knowledge.

Usability of open source software | First Monday
november 2011
The Usability of Open Source Software by David M. Nichols and Michael B. Twidale
Open source communities have successfully developed a great deal of software although most computer users only use proprietary applications. The usability of open source software is often regarded as one reason for this limited distribution. In this paper we review the existing evidence of the usability of open source software and discuss how the characteristics of open source development influence usability. We describe how existing human-computer interaction techniques can be used to leverage distributed networked communities, of developers and users, to address issues of usability.

The Code4Lib Journal – Infomaki: An Open Source, Lightweight Usability Testing Tool
november 2011
Infomaki is an open source “lightweight” usability testing tool developed by the New York Public Library to evaluate new designs for the NYPL.org web site and uncover insights about our patrons. Designed from the ground up to be as respectful of the respondents’ time as possible, it presents respondents with a single question at a time from a pool of active questions. In just over seven months of use, it has fielded over 100,000 responses from over 10,000 respondents.

Filling the Open Source Usability Testing Gap
november 2011
Could open source software benefit from more usability testing? It sure seems so, and usability labs are heavily emphasized at big proprietary software companies, especially Microsoft. In fact, early interface standards in Windows applications, such as common menu options, were largely driven by the experiences of usability testers. Here are some open source projects that are setting a good example when it comes to usability.

m+mi works : blog : on interaction architecture
november 2011
The guiding rails for the evaluation of the existing software and new designs were, as usual, the user scenarios. We constructed three. The first one embodied that simple things shall be simple: selecting a square of uniform color (rotated so that the rectangular selection tool would not work). This should be a no‑brainer with the redesigned selection tool(s).
