ted talks Jeff Han

Jeff Hans muti touch interface design is very very intersting. I want one so bad it looked so fun playing with the dots, lava lamp programs. I am always impressed by the new technology coming out today. I always wonder what will they think of next.

research paper

My topic was privacy on the internet and cookies. I have to say that i learned the most about cookies. I think everyone allready knows that the internet is in no why shape or form private. Cookies are infact the one of the biggest risks on the internet. If you have every bought anything via the internet your personal. Cookies are only small pieces of data that cant preform any operations by themselves but can contain any information you have entered into the computer. This was the most shocking thing i learned from this project.

Ted talks

I watched the talk from Stephen Lawler called Look up in the sky its virtual earth. I picked this video to blog about because i didn't like it. The virtual earth thing is pretty cool and will save the movie industry a lot of money and make commercials look amazing but how can it help me. The video seemed more like ad for Microsoft than anything. The apple commercial statements and by him talking about how they were the first to the Katrina disaster and showed people there house via virtual earth should have been in a commercial rather then on Ted.com.

HTML code

The only time i have used the actual html code is to change my background on myspace. I know there is a lot more u can do with myspace but never took the time to figure it all out. To change your background you just copy a html code from the Internet and paste it into your about me box and magically a new background appears. I really have know idea how the html code works but always wanted to learn. So I am mildly excited about building a actual web page.
