My German is iffy -- it's mostly really
just a funny voice I make -- but I think most of these notebook
computer design concepts on PC-Welt are pretty self-explanatory. They
don't all look practical (I'm looking at you, strange Klingon-looking
battle laptop), but if you like to reminded just how many roll-up
screens and interestingly-folded laptops we have (Answer: One million
zeros) there's a lot of fun stuff to check out. I've been told the
first page is the winner of the competition, while the second page is
all the runners-up. (Thanks, Thien!) Read - The Winner [PCWelt] Read - Runners-Up [PCWelt]
Applying "Digital Hub" Concepts to Enterprise Software Design
Applying "Digital Hub" Concepts to Enterprise Software Design05/04/2004 09:03 PM Adam Behringer: "One thing that I have discovered is that there are
many common issues and design challenges for this type of software,
even in vastly different industries. In this article, I will share an
architecture approach that has worked well for most of the projects in
which I have participated. In future articles, I will give some
practical tutorials for building a complex business system one step at
a time."

Oracle Judge Says He's Still Unclear on Key Concepts
Oracle Judge Says He's Still Unclear on Key Concepts06/25/2004 10:04 PM The federal judge who will decide an antitrust trial contesting Oracle
billion bid for PeopleSoft ordered the lawyers in the case to provide
better explanations about several key concepts because he remains
fuzzy on their meaning.
Knowledge management has come to the forefront of
the business world surrounded by an air of publicity and a degree of
scepticism. However in recent years, this label has been removed, and
managers and employees are now discovering the real value of knowledge
and knowledge management to their organisations. Globalisation and the
spread of multinational organisations are demanding the use of cross
cultural management and working practices across several language
groups. This leads to the question of whether knowledge management
should be practiced in the same way across nations.
This
project aims to investigate, by the use of a conversational study and
questionnaire, whether differences exist in the opinions of knowledge
management across two specific language groups: French and English.
The hypothesis that language affects thought is discussed with a view
to linking the language spoken to differences in opinions held by an
individual. The first outcome of the study was that the hypothesis
'language affects thought' was substantiated. Secondly, the hypothesis
that differences exist in the opinions of French and English speakers
in the field of knowledge management was unable to be confirmed as
correct. A copy of the full report can be found here.

Supernova Summary Day 1: Distributed Concepts Expand Beyond Technology
Supernova Summary Day 1: Distributed Concepts Expand Beyond Technology06/25/2004 03:42 AM So, we promis
ed a short summary of Supernova, and since there are plenty of
bloggers and sites covering the conference, we tried to pick through
everything and come up with a slightly different take on things.
Certainly, there was a lot of things being talked about that
get discussed over and over (and over and over) again at every one of
these conferences and which shows up on the same old blogs with the
same old arguments. It would have been nice to cut out some of that
fat, but mixed in with all of this was an idea that not everyone seems
to be picking up on: the power of all of this "decentralization" isn't
just focused on the technology world, but expands well beyond that.
While many of the conversations were focused on technology, it's time
we started looking beyond the nuts and bolts of decentralization and
towards how it will actually impact real lives. Thomas Malone got
that process started with his keynote talking about how decentralization
makes massive changes to the way humans organize, and how truly
powerful that concept really is. Unfortunately, instead of diving
more into those concepts, many of the discussions went back to the
nuts and bolts (and arguing over what shape the nuts and bolts should
be -- of if we really need nuts and bolts at all). Still, a few
conversations went beyond this issue and focused on more important
aspects of decentralization. The final panel of the day, on "fighting
distributed wars," (which was described by more than a few people as
"depressing") showed how terrorists now understand network theory, and
it's about time those who are fighting terrorists realize that they,
too, can learn from ways that technologists learn how to build
resilient, redundant networks in the fight against terrorism. That,
in many ways, is a powerful lesson of decentralization that looks at
how we can apply technology concepts to the broader world that really
impacts peoples' lives on a daily basis.

The conference was designed to explore the legal, moral, political,
social, commercial, and technical perspectives of open source and free
software, to build a broader understanding of the movement.
I spoke on a panel entitled Education
and Public Knowledge: Open Access, Open Content. The aim of the
panel was to understand how the lessons from open source and free
software could help develop a thriving open-content ecosystem, within
the context of education.
The entire conference will be online soon -- check it out!
