For a Python programmer Apple Cocoa Programming might seam interesting since Python (and Ruby) next to Objective-C are supported languages from within XCode 3.x. Python and the bridge PyObjC are both part of the developer installation. Therefor they are available out-of-the-box. Also project templates are available within XCode. There are advantages to program Cocoa through Python. The most

There is a convergence of Web Application Frameworks and Application Frameworks in general. Apple is positionened in a unique way to get itself into the center of current development seen at Google, Zoho, Microsoft Live and others.This research note gives a good insight into what to expect in 2009 and after. Expect this to be a valueable read if you are involved in IT-Strategies, in Telecoms, the

How would Office look if consequently designed in a MVC (Model View Controler) style? What would it mean to the notion of a Office file format at all? What would it mean to shareing?Let's have a short look into MS Office. The best example is tables. There are some in Powerpoint, Word, Excel, Access. Each controller (user interface) behaves different, the stored data is different (try to

You are emprisoned with me to MS Office, Openoffice, Google Apps, Zoho, iWork and the likes -- and you think they don't live up to your expectations? Well, so do I (check also here).Most work I do in these days I start in MS Office. Mostly it is heavy on Powerpoint, Tables and Excel.

Well, if you can't stand stacks of folders nor the resulting one dimensional hierarchies and if the unix-like alias system is not really satisfying your outbreak -- then read on.Let's get rid of folders and filenames alltogether. People think differently anyhow. Usually a document fits into more than one area. Live is multidimensional anyway. So how may a solution look like?Operating systems from

The next generation broadcasting networks (ngBN)are just about to be build around the world. South Korea is currently leading with it's DMB deployment. Now what is in for users?We've got used to podcasting. RSS is a base technology.

Add a GPS and a orientation sensor (tilt, direction).GPS, orientation data are combined with camera data like angle, focus distance and resolution plus a short description (optional). All that is
