- Rosan Chow reflects on work by Alain Findeli. She wants to help characterize design activity by projecting a fringe view on the relation between design activity and knowledge, scientific or non-scientific. To me, the essence of design activity lies in the ontological realm and how it affects the way we are that is different than how science or for that matter other activities do. To assert that design activity destroys knowledge redirects our attention to the important and unique role design activity plays in this world in relation to science and other creative human activities. It pushes us to think hard about the contributions that design activity should be able of making. |

- Through a posting on the simplicity weblog I came across Edward De Bonos site. He started to collect bedtime stories for children that incorporate his theories. The first (and only) one by Lorna Santín tells about De Bonos concept named "Six thinking hats" and it's called "The Magic Hats". |

- CNN reports that computer use of children aged 3 to 5 scored higher on tests that gauge school readiness and cognitive development. Some earlier studies have found computer use improves children's fine motor skills and improves recognition of numbers and letters. Is there a study that shows how extensive computer use in early childhood influences the social skills and empathy? |

- This german news item (heise.de) speculates that software patents in Europe will allow big companies like Microsoft to kill the open source movement. It forces open source projects to play according to the rules of capital. Patents are nothing more than land mines in a economic war. I can't see why Microsoft wouldn't use patents like these against any open source project that Microsoft does not want to exist. |

Real People (Jun 07 2004 23:56 GMT) - The inside of the store is just dark enough, compared with the morning sun, that as we stand outside and wait to be let in, the window glass acts as a translucent mirror. We have trouble distinguishing the reflections of people across the street from the real people deep in the store until they either step around the book displays or pass like ghosts right through them. We can be quite sure that the ethereal cable cars and SUVs that we see pass through the store are really behind us. But it can be disorienting when the ghost next to your own reflection appears to say hello, a real coworker having quietly stepped up to wait alongside and slightly in back of you for someone to unlock the doors. |

- >I read that Next Generation Phones should use the " " symbol rather than 011 >in front of the number. Within the GSM specification it says that it will recognize the as the indication of an international call. The GSM system will then dial the appropriate international access code (here in the US it is 011). So a call to the UK could be entered as 44-. If you have it in your dialing directory as 44 when you are in the USA, the GSM system will know to diall 011 replacing the . |

- inpharma.com reports a number of large pharmaceutical and food manufacturers are piloting a new data logger with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology that is designed to track and monitor the conditions a product is kept in. The technology has been developed by Sensitech, a US firm specialising in cold chain monitoring technologies for the food and drug industry, in partnership with wireless networking specialist Ember, according to a report from packaging consultancy firm Pira. The two companies started to work together on the project last September. |

- Mark Roberti of RFID Journal writes worried about the cost of RFID tags? It may be cheaper to grow your ownВ—at least the tag antenna. QinetiQ (pronounced ki-NE-tik, as in "kinetic energy"), a science and technology company based in Farnborough, England, has inked a deal with Sun Chemical of the United States under which Sun's Coates Screen business unit in the United Kingdom will produce special inks, based on QinetiQ formulations, that can be used to "grow" metal for antennas and other uses. |

- Rukmini Priyadarshini of The Hindu Business Line writes WIPRO Technologies' retail business unit is betting on its radio frequency identification (RFID) initiative and the North American retail market's adoption of this technology. Put very simply, RFID is a type of automatic identification system that enables data to be transmitted by a portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. |

- Jonathan Krim, Washington Post staff writer, reports government contractors hope a mix of new and existing technologies will better identify foreigners entering the United States through thousands of miles of land borders, without causing backups that stretch halfway to the ocean. One key ingredient is a rapidly emerging but controversial technology known as RFID, or radio frequency identification, which companies are increasingly using to remotely track products. |

- Frank Tiboni of FCW.com writes Defense Department officials plan to issue a policy next month for use of radio frequency identification devices (RFID). The directive will guide agencies and contractors that are preparing for January's deadline requiring materiel suppliers to be ready for RFID technology. The policy will also explain standards for RFID tags, which lets people track supplies using the spectrum and networks when the tags are placed on cargo containers, said Jack Pellicci, Oracle Corp.'s group vice president of business development in the company's Government, Education, Health and Aerospace/Defense division. |
