Now here's a useful facebook app. ZDNet has put together a speed challenge between you and your friends.
Omid Moghadam of Intel. he's the man behind the new employer coalition that will be rolling out PHRs (personal health records) to their employees. Yes, everyone knows personal health records are a really good idea. But no one uses themÂ… Perhaps itÂ’s time for a little libertarian paternalism: A coalition of employers is about to offer/push PHRs to their employees, which should result in healthier, better-informed employees
and wealthier, better-served employers. More on my blog.
Is Facebook Running Scared Of The Tsu Social Network? A month or so ago members of the Tsu Social Network logged into their accounts to find that they could no longer share their content to Facebook or Instagram. Facebook had blocked and censored the Tsu domain and unsurprisingly the censorship continued on their sister Instagram. I have been reporting what has been happening since this unfair action was taken, along with Tsu’s very own Eileen Brown who writes for Zdnet made her thoughts known with a great article in support of the Tsu Social Network Tsu members hit their Facebook feeds with meme’s supporting Tsu with the attitude “you can block The post Is Facebook Running Scared Of The Tsu Social Network? appeared first on PAC. from PAC ift.tt/1kft3yl via Article ift.tt/eA8V8J PAC November 06, 2015 at 06:15PM
Dennis Howlett works on his blog entry about the Adobe RIA Hacker Night at SAP TechEd. Craig Cmehil and Thomas Otter try to distract him but eventually finished it blogs.zdnet.com/Howlett/?p=208.
that I am in Greece!
but at least it has an "about" link that pops up a (very vague)
disclosure about the ads. I opened it and moved it down on the page
for better viewing, right next to the link that summoned it.
Emacs!
Please help me id people, tag, and comment on photos or I might never post them! :-P

Why the wellness movement is the next green movement
Commentary - The wellness movement is gathering momentum in the same way that the environmental movement did a decade ago. The national health crisis is now a matter of public policy debate, and it has attracted significant media attention as well as Silicon Valley talent and investment.
Yet the idea that Americans should take responsibility for improving their health and wellness is only just starting to take hold. Why? The answer might be that, as with encouraging people to adopt green habits, we needed first to find a way to make it just as rewarding in the short term as the long term. It wasn’t until people could save rather than spend by being green, and businesses could earn rather than lose profits, that being green became second nature.
Many of the ways wellness could soon become more rewarding are coming from tech, which may be why wellness is suddenly attracting Silicon Valley leaders and the venture money that funds their passions. It’s said that you can’t improve what you can’t measure, and until now there have been few devices and tools to make measurement simple for people to do in their daily lives.
Silicon Valley also knows a thing or two about keeping users in the game, even when the game involves work. The most addictive apps incorporate reward systems, which have driven people to devote untold precious hours to tending their Farmville acres. Those same apps are also social, which motivates players to out-till their friends.
Why not level-up your wellness score? Why not gain stature in an online community for investing in your own health? Online games are cool, but they don’t change the world. Applying their lessons to our nation’s health just might, and that may be why Firefox’s Aza Raskin left to found health feedback services company Massive Health and Microsoft executive Adam Bosworth joined Google to help people record their health efforts online. He then went to Keas, a social network that turns corporate wellness programs into a competitive game. It’s also why I left Eye-Fi to join Basis, which is developing technologies to help people track their performance against health goals and reward them for living better.
If the wellness movement continues to follow the environmental movement’s example, then we’re just at the beginning. The tipping point will come with the recognition that each of our activities adds to, or subtracts from, a national effort. Just as driving a hybrid car or putting out your recycling bin demonstrates your contribution to the health of the planet, wearing a device that monitors your daily activity, or participating in your company’s wellness program, might one day signal your personal commitment to the health of the nation.
If more tech leaders devote their energies to developing the tools to motivate people to get healthy and stay that way, they can have an enormous effect. When it comes to wellness, more competition isn’t a threat to each startup’s hopes of succeeding, it’s further evidence that more companies can thrive while they help individuals to do the same. Let the best tools win; if government and businesses adopt them for their employees, we can improve our nation’s health all the faster—one user at a time.

El año pasado surgieron rumores de que Samsung presentarÃa su nuevo Galaxy S9 (en caso de que llame asÃ) en el CES 2018, algo que finalmente no sucedió. Pero hoy durante una conferencia con el presidente de Samsung Mobile, DJ Ko, éste confirmó a ZDNet que el S9 será anunciado durante el MWC 2018...

"... Because I don't get how a pretty simple piece of software technology made from the scratch in a few months by just three programmers can be valued at $15M. ..."
Pretty annoying hey?
Bunch of "smart-arse" 20yo's building something that users want, launching a product in a competitive market that gathers lots of users in a strategic area that a few Internet giants would take notice of. The reason companies like google purchase these startups if mostly for strategic reasons. It could be for the technology or pieces of it. It could be to block other competitors or even to hire the engineers themselves. This is the nature of technology startups: Create cool hacks between your friends, make a demo that others might want. Release it and itterate. The bit from release to exit is the hard part and I'll leave it to the reader to fill in the gaps how. Hint start here: paulgraham.com/notnot.html
"... I mean, it is not anything particularly revolutionary or novel. They have no revenue, no significant user base. Google could probably replicate this technology with its army of programmers in a few weeks ..."
The other reason companies like google purchase Startups is they can literally turn out products, gain significant markets before big companies can. So while google has the engineers they are constrained even with their 20% time to get a product to market with lots of users. This out-sourcing development trend is something Startups can exploit post the IPO drought caused by Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.
