Ebbene si, Apple è stata battuta sul tempo, almeno si crede, visto che ancora il tanto atteso Push non si è visto e non è stato nemmeno trapelato nel futuro firmware destinato agli sviluppatori. Ci ha pensato Lance Fetters a creare un applicazione che permette di tenere in background i nostri programmi preferiti, senza che essi [...]

Mind out of the gutter, this is a PG/PG-13 blog - most of the time.Anyhow, as a busy young professional, sometimes your day doesn't lend a lot of time for things like...lunch hours... or brief socializing. Sure you can socialize with the people who sit around you, primarily by yelling over the cube, but having that one-on-one interaction to chat about the weekend or the Hills is often difficult.So

Now once again, I am not political by any means, but every once and a while I do enjoy the thumb raising, fist pumping speeches by our politicians. At times they are comical, and sometimes just down right silly but every once in a while one of their comments will stop and make me think.Last night I tried, to stay up for the anticipated speeches by Giuliani and Palin. But geez don't they know ten o

If you are one of those iPhoner’s who is quite content grabbing the odd app that Apple dictate you can have from the App Store then all well and good. But if you are an iPhone of the ilk that rules are meant to be broken this is another reason to jailbreak that iPhone 3G. The [...]

Mobile phones are always stay my favourite gadget. Previously I have used several handsets and I do regularly study on the mobile phones. That's why when my sister asked me on what mobile phone to purchase then the first name that came to my mind was the HTC Touch Diamond. The reason behind suggesting the handset was its out-of-the-box looks and outstanding features. But I was not fully aware abou

Teenagers tap into the failing cerebral skills of their parents. Financial woes both great and small add a layer of pressure to the traditional family.

Lately I have been having a great conversation with few of you on what were the top 5 qualities of the successful event manager. Although not in the Top 5, a lot of you named multitasking. I agree. Even if you are involved with planning a dinner with friends, tasks will include collecting RSVPs, arranging food [...]

Yeah that’s right, according to the official Iphone Human Interface Guidelines that was published by Apple recently; only one application can be run on the iPhone at any given time. No applications running in the background, which means your iPhone is multi-touch, but not multitasking. This should give the developers something to think about, a bit [...]

One of the issues I face in my classroom as an art teacher is when my kids tell me that talking to their friends while working is okay for them, actually critical. A 2005 Johns Hopkins’ study, which specifically addressed cell phone use while driving, would also seem to speak to my classroom situation. Professor [...]

On Friday I talked about how multitasking can be a curse. Killing 2 or more options with one stone has become the standard. I try to distinguish between juggling many tasks that are ongoing and multitasking. To me, the latter is trying to juggle more than one thing at a time, like doing your day job while texting, checking email, and doing other things simultaneously. Juggling ongoing tasks giving each your full attention can be better.For example, before I had my first book published, I had many ideas for topics to write about and began to develop a bunch of books. I jumped from one to another, never making any serious headway for any of them. For years I worked on many books. An idea for one book led to an idea for another and another. All in one day! I’d have the files for several tit

Multitasking has become a way of life for many of us. Women work, care for kids, do household chores, AND, try to keep up with all the communication going on with email, cell calls, etc. Men, who are known for not being as communicative as women, are changing that with electronic devises that keep businesses functioning and people connected these days. Multitasking allows us to do a lot more. But is this a good thing?I remember when I did one thing at a time. There were no cell phones, emails, Internet distractions, text messenging, and we just ate blackberries. People talked to each other. I went to work, maybe called a friend or two when I could. Returning home meant preparing dinner, a little chatting or TV. For those of you in the Gen Y generation who don’t know what I’m talking ab

Here is a snippet from a great article I read:"The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn’t say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, “Do you have a fixed parking space? I’ve noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.” To which he replied, “Since we’re here early we’ll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don’t you think? Imagine my face.Basically, the [slow down] movement questions the sense of “hurry” and “craziness” generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of “having in quantity” (life status) versus “having with quality”, “life quality” or the “quality of being”. French people, even thou

Cory Arcangel, "Data Diaries", 2003Multitasking has recently become a widely discussed term. The synchronicity of today's media-backed daily life means that the phenonemon multitasking penetrates into almost all spheres of life and has a particular influence on our perception, communication and interaction.Lars Siltberg, "Ambidextrous Performance", 2006The NGBK Berlin, Germany organizes an exhbition and interdisciplinary symposium on "Multitasking – Synchronicity as cultural practice".

In the last few years, I've recognized that I no longer choose to multitask. I'm not sure I consider it a disability, but I do feel the need to write about it.For weeks now, I've been concerned about finishing the final edit of my manuscript. I had asked a number of friends and acquaintances to read it and I needed to input their recommendations, copy-edits or edits that I agreed with. Working from a few different versions of the manuscript took way more time than I had anticipated. And although I sent a version of the manuscript to the publisher 14 days ago, I suddenly felt the need to make some significant changes. I'm almost done--but not quite.At the same time, I had been asked (or I volunteered) to write reviews of two books, to make comments on two others, and to help a friend evaluate her plan for a new website. Although I feel guilty (not a usual emotion for me), until I finish my manuscript I have put all these projects on hold.Why? I'm not sure. What I do know is

In another blow to women, it turns out that multi-tasking not only wastes time, it may be harmful. In a scientific study (reported here Does Multitasking Save Time?), students were asked to do two tasks at once while their brains were examined using an MRI.  Turns out our brains aren’t built for multitasking. “Essentially it slows us down,” says Vanderbilt University neuroscientist Rene Marois who conducted the study. “We do one task and then after that we switch to the other.” It’s like an information traffic jam in your head. And it can be life-threatening, especially if you’re driving 60 miles an hour while talking on the phone. “One second of inattention can kill. And  studies have shown talking on a cell phone while  driving impairs your driving more than having had two drinks,” Hallowell says. There is more on this at ABC’s 20/20 at 10 PM on Friday.

Already a device of multiple disguises, from camera to music player and mini-TV, the cell phone's next trick may be the disappearing wallet.After all, since more than a quarter of the people on the planet already carry around cell phones, and hundreds of millions are joining them every year, why should they bring along credit and debit cards when a mobile device can make payments just as well?At the simplest level, all that's needed is to embed phones with a short-range radio chip to beam credit card information to a terminal at a store register. It's not unlike the wireless system used to pay tolls on many highways.But how to choose the right cell phone?The new BlackBerry Pearl with the right plans could be your faithful wallet.By now you can get a discount on a phone when you sign a new cell phone contract, but these days the kinds of new phones you get for free are super hot. Wirefly's featured deals include a free BlackBerry Pearl (free at checkout, no rebates required!) and

I bet you thought I wasn't going to update today! Well I did, although rather late in the evening. It's been one of those days. I'm not really sure about this cartoon. It's been floating around my ideas book for a few weeks. I think I didn't draw it as well as I might have done. Maybe this one will be reworked before considering it for sending out.

Frauen sagen sehr häufig, wir seien nicht Multiaskingfähig. Was ich nicht so verstehe. Ich kann während ich spiele Chips essen, Bier trinken und sprechen.
