    Onderwerpen

    * Cindy vertelt eerst even over de Phare-conference die vorige week in Gent georganiseerd werd.
* Het tweede onderwerp van deze 49ste aflevering: de nieuwe MacBook Pro’s – uitgerust met Thunderbold / Light Peak die Apple vorige week voorgesteld heeft. We overlopen kort de specificaties van de nieuwe toestellen en proberen te bepalen wat Thunderbold nu precies gaat betekenen. We overlopen ook kort welke nieuwe informatie er beschikbaar is in verband met OSX Lion, de opvolger van Snow Leopard die in de zomer zal gelanceerd worden. En om het Apple-feestje helemaal compleet te maken geven we nog snel een overzicht van de laatste iPad 2 geruchten.
* Google voert een vrij ingrijpende wijziging door aan zijn zoekalgoritme teneinde ‘low quality sites’ uit de zoekresultaten te weren. Een nieuw hoofdstuk in de Google vs. Demand Media-saga.

    Tips

    * Stefaan heeft het – in zijn hoedanigheid als programmeur – over Developersagainstpoverty.org, een campagne waarbij ontwikkelaars aangespoord worden om geld te geven voor het goede doel. Stefaan heeft natuurlijk zelf ook het goede voorbeeld gegeven.
* Cindy keek de voorbije week naar Freevideolectures.com, een website met maar liefst 18 000 video’s van lezingen over allerlei onderwerpen.
* Jan heeft Google Listen ontdekt, Googles podcatcher voor Android.
* Marco heeft het over de Sega Dreamcast Collection, de meest geliefde Dreamcast-games van Sega in één verzameling.
* Maarten blijft tot slot ook bij games met L.A. Noire van Rockstar Games, beschikbaar eind mei.

  3. Why Removing Freeways Can Be Good for Cities | Changing Gears

    Half a century after cities across our region and country built sprawling freeways, many of those roads are reaching the end of their useful lives. Instead of rebuilding them, a growing number of cities are thinking about—or actively—removing them. That may come as a surprise.

  6. Tangible Interactions in Urban Spaces

    The transition from physical to virtual spaces means that there is less opportunity to physically interact in public spaces. Historically public spaces were used for celebration, today they are used for anonymous mobile calls. We would like to explore the ways in which the tangible aspect of physical space might be re-introduced into our virtual interactions through an exploration and discussion of - among other things - responsive architecture.

  7. Elements of a Networked Urbanism by Adam Greenfield

    Over the past several years, we’ve watched as a very wide variety of objects and surfaces familiar from everyday life have been reimagined as networked information-gathering, -processing, -storage and -display resources. Why should cities be any different?

    What happens to urban form and metropolitan experience under such circumstances? What are the implications for us, as designers, consumers and as citizens?

    Adam Greenfield lives in a city and thinks you probably do, too.
