As usually. It took some seconds to me to realize what it really was :) But you make it as soon as the man showing the "gmail gestures" starts moving ... And don't forget to click on the try button, on the right side :P

creepy is an application that allows you to gather geolocation related information about users from social networking platforms and image hosting services.

James Gosling, the notable programmer who founded Java at Sun Microsystems, has joined Google, a company locked in a lawsuit over how the technology is used in Android.

Gosling announced his new Google employment today on his blog. "I don't know what I'll be working on. I expect it'll be a bit of everything, seasoned with a large dose of grumpy curmudgeon," he said.

Drinking water (tap water) in Tokyo

Contamination of tap water (until March 27) Radioactive contamination of drinking water in Tokyo (Iodine) Analysis of tap water in Tokyo can be found here for each day starting with March 18. This analysis shows that Tokyo tap water currently contains some radioactive Iodine (I-131), and some Cesium (CS-134 and Cs-137) radioactive isotopes. Interesting in this context is that according to a  WHO report on Japan of March 22 (pdf-file), Japanese health limits for radioactive Iodine are about 10 times lower than global standards, ie if Japanese health limits are exceeded, the levels are still at 10% of global limits (we don't intend to underestimate this problem however). We conclude that currently radioactive Iodine (I-131) concentrations are about 7% of Japan's limits set by Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission, and about 0.7% of international health limits, and are currently on a downward trend. According to US Ambassador Roos, US Government experts are currently analyzing the Tokyo tap water situation and will report on their findings shortly.

Contamination of tap water with Cesium (until March 27) Radioactive contamination of drinking water (Cesium):  Cesium contamination with radioactive Cs-134 (1/2-life = 2.1 years) and Cs-137 (1/2-life = 30 years) isotopes is currently on the order of 0.2% and 0.4% of the limits set by Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission and are on a downward trend. The relatively long 1/2-life of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137 means that these radioactive isotopes will stay with us for many years. To understand this situation it is necessary to compare these levels with natural levels, and with other sources of radioactivity, and how Cesium interacts with our bodies.

Jon Bruner: On all your titles you've dropped digital-rights management (DRM), which limits file sharing and copying. Aren't you worried about piracy?

Tim O'Reilly: No. And so what? Let's say my goal is to sell 10,000 copies of something. And let's say that if by putting DRM in it I sell 10,000 copies and I make my money, and if by having no DRM 100,000 copies go into circulation and I still sell 10,000 copies. Which of those is the better outcome? I think having 100,000 in circulation and selling 10,000 is way better than having just the 10,000 that are paid for and nobody else benefits.

People who don't pay you generally wouldn't have paid you anyway. We're delighted when people who can't afford our books don't pay us for them, if they go out and do something useful with that information.

I think having faith in that basic logic of the market is important. Besides, DRM interferes with the user experience. It makes it much harder to have people adopt your product.

I have to admit I've never heard of it before .. shame on me !!
