Computers Make You Sick
Computers Make You Sick
09/09/2004 12:33 PMNot feeling so good? Perhaps you should blame your computer. A new
study says that
three out of every four office workers have
health problems because they're not properly trained to use their
computer. The problems are pretty obvious: back problems, eyesight
problems or headaches. As this becomes a bigger and bigger problem,
the suggestion is that corporations need to be more proactive in
training people on good computing and good ergonomics. Of course,
none of this seems particularly new, and many companies already have
ergonomics groups that make sure people are well set up to use their
computer in a healthy manner. At some point, good computing practices
and good ergonomics are going to be issues that people are trained in
at an early age -- and not at the office. However, in the meantime,
companies who want to protect their employees' eyes, back and head
might want to do a better job ensuring good computing ergonomic
practices.

“Father” of Mac platform aims to make
computers easier to use
01/05/2005 07:26 PMJef Raskin, credited with being the “father” of the Macintosh computer
and former Apple employee #31, has recently obtained $2 million in
start up funding to make computers easier to use.
Raskin is featured today in an article by the California-based Pacifia
Tribune. "We formed the Raskin Center for Humane Interface," he says.
"And we have been funded by a multi-national corporation for $2
million. Our plan is to work out of this office to show the world how
to make computers much easier to use."
Raskin wrote the groundbreaking book, "The Humane Interface," which
has now been translated into dozens of languages and is part of most
university computer courses. The new business is an offshoot of the
philosophical work begun in the book.
Raskin's concept involves "unified" computer programs. Instead of
multiple applications that must be "opened" before they can be used,
Raskin's model allows a computer user to simply shift between word
processing, spread sheets, photo manipulation, and just about
everything else through simple "command sets."
His new project also involves his son, Aza, a 20-year-old college
student. With an eye to the reality of the business world, Aza says
the purpose of the Raskin Center for Humane Interface won't be to put
computer companies out of business, it will "save them money in
technical support."
The Raskins say they are confident that the Raskin Center for Humane
Interface will be offering the world an authoritative product within
18 months.

PCs out sick more than users
PCs out sick more than users
06/25/2004 08:37 AMThe average UK PC is rendered unusable for the equivalent of around
nine working days every year because the owner is cleaning up spam or
fighting viruses. This is two days a year more than the average UK
worker takes off as sick leave, according to Yahoo. A survey of 2,500
UK e-mail users found that 70 percent of users had been infected by a
virus in the past year and 42 percent say they found it less stressful
fighting their way through rush-hour traffic than finding legitimate
e-mails among the spam in their inboxes. Spam is a problem for all
e-mail users but some companies are hit harder than others.

03/20/2003 05:31 PMI've been sick this past week, but that hasn't stopped me from testing
applications for Lockergnome. In between trips to the toilet, I
stumbled upon Huminity. I'd point you directly to its site, but I
don't want you to install it. In fact, I want you to tell everybody on
the PLANET not to install it. Why? Because it just raped my address
book. I guess I didn't take their privacy policy literally: 'Contacts
are notified by a one-time e-mail notification about their inclusion
in the Huminity network.' WTF?! Assume that when you install the
program, the people in your contacts list will be notified with no
further warning. Sick! Well, if you got a message from me telling you
to join this network, let me use this space to WARN YOU to avoid this
site / software at all cost....

Flick mosquitos or you could get sick
and die
Flick mosquitos or you could get sick
and die
07/19/2004 01:32 AMIf you catch a mosquito feeding on you, you should flick it away
rather than squashing it, lest you drive its infectious guts into your
body.
The issue is reviewed in an article published this month in the New
England Journal of Medicine that focuses on a 57-year-old Pennsylvania
woman who died in 2002 of a fungal infection in her muscles called
Brachiola algerae.
Doctors were puzzled because the fungus was thought to be found only
in mosquitoes and other insects. But it's not found in mosquito saliva
like West Nile virus and malaria, so a simple mosquito bite could not
have caused the infection.
The article's authors concluded that the woman must have smashed a
mosquito on her skin, smearing its body parts into the bite.
