The world's biggest plane has started rolling off assembly lines and is expected to take its first flight in March 2005. The quarter-billion-dollar, twin-deck, four-aisle plane can carry 555 passengers. Thanks to its design's outsized wings, future versions of the economical plane may carry as many as 800 passengers. With the A380, Airbus hopes to do to Boeing what Boeing did to its competitors over 30 years ago with the 747. Already, Airbus Industrie has outsold and out-delivered Boeing for the last two years. But don't boycott just yet! It turns out the A380 is 51% American-made. Parts are so big they don't fit in this whale-like record-size transporter (though this Russian monster may have a claim); they are transported to Toulouse on a barge. More pics. Let's hope this latest high-tech aerospace gamble does better than the last one. Europe, of course (troll alert), already makes the world's biggest truck, the fastest trains, the best cars (sorry Japan), and the most successful rocket launchers. On a darker topic, 10 years ago, French commandos boarded an Airbus and killed Islamic terrorists planning to fly it into the Eiffel Tower.

Corporations Still Not Cutting Web PieCorporations Still Not Cutting Web Pie 06/30/2004 06:02 AM Corporations Still Not Cutting Web Pie By Jim Wagner http:/ /www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3373151 The Web sites of too many Fortune 100 companies in the United States don't take customers seriously, an upcoming report by research and consulting firm The Customer Respect Group concludes. The 2004 Online Customer Respect Study shows that while companies like Microsoft (No. 1) and Hewlett-Packard (No. 2) performed very well across the board, most had inadequate privacy, operational or security measures in place to reassure customers. The study evaluates the top 100 U.S. companies in six categories -- simplicity, responsiveness, transparency, principles, attitude and privacy -- and elicits end-user feedback on their experiences of visits to the Web sites. Grading is done on a 0 (worst) to 10 (best) scale. Roger Fairchild, president of the Bellevue, Wash.-based consulting firm, said he finds it amazing that after three years of publishing report results, companies still don't take their online sites seriously.

Maybe all we really need is disappear ing ink technology to save paper. Toshiba has developed an ink that when heated, disappears. They plan to sell the opposite of a printer, a device that erases your printed pages at a rate of 100 pages/hr. Isn't that what you always wanted for Christmas?

Cutting data costsCutting data costs 02/16/2004 10:38 PM Computer Weekly Feb 17 2004 2:16AM GMT Tree-cutting and tag-spinningTree-cutting and tag-spinning 02/05/2005 10:19 PM I have been mulling over a big old post about tagging and folksonomies, but book work has taken priority this week, and by now most of what I wanted to say has been said by others (here are some go od links). So this is all I think I'll throw in to the discussion -- and append to my previously posted skepticism that people beyond early adopters will pursue tagging with any avidity: "Tagging" is a great word. "Categories" are onerous; they sound like work. "Tags" sound like play -- like a game we played when we were tots. (Hey, it's ludic!)"Categories" also implies, to many users, a mental model in which each item must live in one category to the exclusion of others. "Tags" encourages overlap, duplication, experimentation. I like the way David Weinberger puts it he re, as he compares older-fashioned information hierarchies with folksonomic tagging: "The old way creates a tree. The new rakes leaves together.... The old way -- trees -- make sense in controlled environments where ambiguity is dangerous and where thoroughness counts. Trees make less sense in the uncontrolled, connected world that cherishes ambiguity." And the world of software is so allergic to ambiguity that we should cherish any new development that opens a space within the digital realm for multiple meanings. If the software that begins to harness the tagging phenomenon can stay true to the spirit the word evokes, I think it has a chance of overcoming human intertia and resistance to doing more than the bare minimum of metadata labor. Which places a premium (as Ross Mayfield points out) on ease of use. If people are going to tag things at all, you need to make it really easy for them to do it fast. Del.icio.us -- once you set up its toolbar shortcut -- is pretty good, though I think it would be great if it showed you how other people tagged a link before you did your own tagging. Technorati's experiment with tagging for blog postings obviously has a very long way to go, but it's moving in the right direction. Will the whole thing get debased by commercialism and swamped by spam? Sure. Then we'll return

One interesting Wi-Fi application is at One America Plaza in San Diego. The developer of the commercial office building offers Wi-Fi to tenants for free. He charges tenants for wired broadband access which is built in to the building but figures that Wi-Fi is an "amenity" so should be offered without cost, just like elevator service. An already-built Wi-Fi network sounds like a super bonus for any business hunting for new office space....
