Hypercities.com: A geo-temporal platform developed with Google.

Hypercities is a very interesting and helpful website. I never heard of hypercities before i was told to this assignment.

- "Rather than surfing the web, going from site to site, portal to portal, what if you could surf a city, browse its streets, get lost in its buildings, meet friends and strangers in a hyperlinked world, go back in time, and reemerge in another city? "

Take me to your leader. ADOBE FLASH FOR THE iPHONE IN 2009 !

Recently it is being worked on to put adobe into the new iphone for 2009. Supposivley there isnt alot of Apple support on this making though. It was announced that adobe and flash are working together to get flash onto the iphone. It is all up to adobe now to decide whats going on. There are supposed to be about a million devices being sent out by the end of the year that have flash. Why does it just have to be on the iphone? why not other phones as well? !

" On the Media" WNYC. "Digital killed the analog star"

In this radio chat two women are talking how how there was supposed to be a switch from anolog broadcast to digital. Congress and the FCC have been talking about a change since 1996 !The change was signed three years ago and the people werent ready to switch. Congress postponed the deadline from this tuesday to june 12th. People didnt want to switch to digital broadcast and turn off their analog signals. Therefore People woke up to black tvs. It is a plan to change into digital reception so people dont have to rely on the "rabbit ears" ( antennas). Some stations will use the extended June deadline. Elderly viewers, non -english speakers and lowincome people are most effected. Digital reception most people get through cable or satelite receivers.
