- De grootste mobieltjesmaker ter wereld, Nokia, heeft twee nieuwe mobiele telefoontjes onthuld. Een van de twee toestellen stelt gebruikers in staat om televisie te kijken. Nokia is niet de eerste fabrikant die een mobieltje op de markt zet waarmee naar tv gekeken kan worden. In augustus presenteerde de Japanse elektronicagigant Sanyo een mobiele telefoon met een digitale TV ontvanger. Begin deze maand kwam ook Vodafone met een dergelijk toestel. |

- A Palm Beach Post article about a proposal for a new library building - with six floors of condos on top of it. Some say they wouldn't mind such a hybrid. Others derisively call it a "librando." Warren Schwartz, an architect in Boston who has won awards for library design, said there's an entirely new way of thinking. Libraries no longer are considered just quiet monumental places to curl up with a book. |

- Charles Davis writes "Report from Ananova about Almost three quarters-of-a-million books on communism being thrown out of libraries in Russia. Twenty libraries in the Russian Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad have sent 700,000 books on communist ideology to recycling plants. Elena Alesandronets, head of the Kaliningrad Library System, told the Rosbalt news agency only a few of the books, which she described as largely "Marxist and Leninist propaganda", in their stocks would be kept. She said: "No one's had any interest in them since the Soviet Union collapsed. |

- Genghis John writes "In the face of severe budget problems, the [Minneapolis] library board dropped an interim Franklin library from its budget last spring. That would have been the end of the story, had not a group of library patrons and volunteers decided to take matters into their own hands ... [T]here has been enough success already at Franklin Library to make it a model, not just for other libraries, but other producers of social good that formerly were funded almost solely with public dollars. The story, here. (Registration required. |

- I downloaded a trial copy of Radio Userland with the understanding that it has an outliner that will allow me to edit OPML files. The online help instructs me to use a File/New command, the only one I can see appears to be in my browser. When I enter the sample OPML URL suggested by Help into the Window, a screen results which to me looks like XML code, not the representation of a directory that I was expecting. Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be appreciated. |
