Bugunlerde ise Dr. Jeffrey Weeks onderliginde bir grup bilim adami, big bang teorisine ait haritalar uzerinde yaptiklari arastirmalardan yola cikarak, uzayin bakildiginda ayni yildizlarin birden fazla kopyasinin gorulmesiyle meydana gelen sonsuzluk yanilsamasina neden olan 12-yuzlu aynalar dehlizi oldugunu iddia ediyorlar. Bu bilim adamlarina gore, soz konusu model dogruysa, bu yeni teori, icinde bulundugumuz evrenin, cok daha buyuk kapsamli alemlerin icinde yer alan bir cok baloncuktan biri oldugunu savunan, populer big bang teorisinin curutulmesine neden olabilir. |

- Industry leaders discuss the mobile worker... Some captains in the UK mobile market, including bosses from Intel and Microsoft, debated at the European Technology Forum's Technology Summit 2003 in London on the future of the 'Unplugged Enterprise' The roll out of public Wi-Fi hotspots was one subject which came in for scrutiny - particularly whether it has been overhyped. "Whether it's in coffee shops, petrol stations, train stations or service stations businesses owe it to their clients, contacts and employees to make the most of wireless networking" David Levin, CEO of Symbian : "Twelve months ago it was acceptable to be on the road for 48 hours without responding to emails, but it's not now," he said. "People expect a three-hour response time to emails now. |

- Welcome Gerrit Visser to the Smartmobs blogteam. We have bloggers in Australia, Brazil, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and USA. We could use a blogger from Japan and/or Korea.

- Jon Stahl pointed out this fantastic thread on Howard Dean's campaign blog, his supporters from around the country (173 comments so far) are dropping great tips for online organizing tools. They already have one of the most successful social toolsets built to date. Dean is dominating the battle for web dominance. In a very open way, they used a thread to harvest ideas and energy from supporters. (Via Network-centric advocacy) I forced myself to wade through the post and harvest the ideas into a wish list. |

- Today's Guardian Online Supplement to the Guardian Newspaper (UK) features the RFID privacy controversy and points to a consumer oriented anti-RFID site.

(Thanks, Bob and Dan!)Affordable RFID tags also have enormous implications for the supply chain: since all EPCs are unique, products tagged in factories could be tracked as they moved along the supply chain. |

- Internet messenger services, email, text and mobile phones are broadening children's social networks and making them virtually inseparable from one another, according to a new survey of internet attitudes by global research company RedSheriff, reports smh.com. With parents restricting Internet usage driven by fears of pornography and bad influences online, children are asked to log off, but what is interesting is that they never leave. "Their circle of internet friends gets bigger with the inevitable transition to mobile phones in the early teens". It is a trend that is being calmly observed by Virginia Nightingale of the School of Communication, Design and Media at the University of Western Sydney. |
