pIn a comment yesterday, Ed Kohler raised some questions about a
href=http://www.yelvington.com/node/514#comment-5047timely vs. stale news/a that I thought I'd
address by turning back to my theme of basic assumptions and assertions behind our site management
system. Timeliness is right at the top of the list.br / img
src=http://www.yelvington.com/files/whatsnew.png alt=What's new widget on Jacksonville.com//p pI've
known all along that the online journalism has to be conducted in a world of continuous now. The
continuous news desk function was an assumption back in 1994 when we were building the first online
services at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis./p pYet I still see a lot of systems built around
antiquated concepts like editions. /p pWe're not going down that road at all. Continuous updating
and instant publication have been a primary goal of this project since we started./p pBut there are
barriers. Our newspaper newsrooms still rely on antiquated, print-centric systems for internal
workflow as written copy passes through various stages of editing. /p pWhen it's ready for
publication, a story can be immediately released to the Web -- but you have to be a bit patient,
because it then passes through a bucket brigade of software and systems. Eventually it'll show up
on the Web, but you'd better not hold your breath./p pThis sort of thing drives a lot of newsrooms
to fix the problem by using blog software. /p pBut that creates a silo of timely content that's
never integrated back into the topical collections on the main site. At some newspapers, there's
not even branding and ad positions on fresh news items./p pIn the course of this project, we've
shortened and tightened and accelerated that path from the antique world to the Internet, but it's
still a problem. /p pSo here's a solution: you don't have to do it that way./p pimg
src=http://www.yelvington.com/files/Create300.png alt=Create content //p pSince Drupal began its
life as bloglike software, post it right now is a built-in feature. All you need is an account and
the right permissions./p pIn our model, some content will still flow from the legacy system, but
every reporter is expected to know how to post directly on the Web. This means stories can be filed
immediately emfrom anywhere,/em so long as you have a laptop (or a netbook) and an Internet
connection./p pUsing Drupal's contributed family of Content Construction Kit modules, we've created
more than 30 specialty content types for specific purposes. The basic editorial node is just one of
those types, but it's a central and important one. (I'll talk about some of the others in a future
post.)/p pCreating creating a story isn't much harder than simple blogging. Yet the editorial node
type is a rich one, and when we run internal training sessions we can easily spend half an hour
talking about its many possibilities. /p pWe accommodate multiple photos, which are automatically
displayed in a dynamic widget. Videos (we use Brightcove) are properly sized and embedded. If you
indicate that the story is about a company with a stock symbol, the system embeds a little block
linking to live ticker info. Are there related stories? Start typing the headline of one, and an
Ajax-enhanced tool will dynamically look it up and create a bidirectional link. And so on./p pBut
you don't emhave/em to do those things. Breaking news can be posted immediately in its simplest
form, then updated, freshened, expanded and enhanced throughout the day. Since the system is
database-driven and dynamic, updated items can be flagged (as you can see here in the top image).
/p pUltimately, technology isn't enough. Breaking news requires human beings to discover and tell
the story. The best we can do with tools is make sure we've removed the barriers./p

Hi everyone,
Im new to this forum. I got a problem with my iphone 2nd generation. I have upgraded my iphone from
1.2 to 2.1 and now i have a big problem. everytime i use an application, be it which application it
may be it activates the GPRS of the phone. Im located in Spain and i have requested my provider to
desactivate the gprs on my "contract" but it seems its not possible. If i open an application -
games, such as Black Jack, iPint, etc.. application which in theory dont require internet
connection, the GPRS activactes and i get charged for it. I dont know it is a bug in the unlocking
software or if there is an application that is giving me problems. I cant pin point the error. Can
anyone help? or suggest what i can do, as so far, my phone bill for GPRS is nearly 100 Euros a
month just on "internet GPRS" connections. I have Wi-fi at home so now im scared to connect to
internet using my iphone just in case its connecting both ways, WI-FI "and" GPRS!!!
please advice.
thanks

height="290" Mobile phone operating systems and a reheated web browser war: that's how we'll recall
the year 2008 when it comes to software. From brand new to revamped browsers and mobile platforms
and apps, 2008's been good to technophiles who like their data in the cloud and accessible wherever
they are. Let's take a look back at this year in software, and some of the best new and improved
applications, web services, and mobile platforms that were born in 2008. Looking back at the last
12 months, these are the apps that get a gold foil-wrapped chocolate coin from us this year. iPhoto

height="135" align="right" class="right" Not only did you swoon over the release of Firefox 3
because of a href="http://lifehacker.com/392160/top-10-firefox-3-features"the "AwesomeBar" and the
rest of the "Had no idea I needed this but now I love it!" features/a it offers, but because the
launch itself was a grass-roots community-driven effort towards making software history. Indeed, on
June 17th of this year, the makers of Firefox a
href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/press/mozilla-2008-07-02.html"set a new Guinness World Record
for most software downloads in a given day/a, at more than eight million downloads of the new
browser iteration in 24 hours. If you haven't dug into the advanced functionality Firefox has to
offer, check out our a href="http://lifehacker.com/396312/power-users-guide-to-firefox-3"power

Chrome/h3 pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/12/thumb160x_gchrome.png"
width="135" height="135"While Mozillians and Firefox users celebrated across the globe over the
summer, no one knew that search powerhouse Google was in the software development lab cooking up
their own lean, mean browsing machine that would forsake all of the fox's bells and whistles (and
extensibility) to run Javascript-based applications lightening-fast. On September 2nd, Google
released the first beta of a href="http://google.com/chrome/"Chrome/a, their new web browser which
they hope you'll make your window to the web and all its apps. Our own in-house a
href="http://lifehacker.com/5055406/browser-speed-tests-the-compiled-up+to+date-results"browser
speed tests show that Chrome is indeed speedy/a, and we're seeing a significant uptake on Chrome
usage by Lifehacker readers. (Last month's browser breakdown for Lifehacker readers was 62%
Firefox, 22% IE, 8% Safari, and 6% Chrome. Not bad for a browser that's been out only a few
months.) For more Chrome goodness, see our a
href="http://lifehacker.com/5045904/the-power-users-guide-to-google-chrome"power user's guide to
Google Chrome/a.br clear="all"/p h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"iPhone 2.0 and the
App Store/h3 pimg

height="135" align="right" class="right" Yeah, yeah, the iPhone launched in 2007, but this year the
iPhone 2.0 software and the new iPhone 3G model with a faster data plan and GPS came out to hype
almost as big as the original iPhone launch. The combination of an operating system that finally
ran third-party apps officially plus pinpointy GPS goodness set the bar for what users can expect
to get from the next generation of smartphone with a fast internet connection, full-on browser, and
spot-on location-awareness. Plus, dozens of the apps available for the phone are free. At first, we

href="http://lifehacker.com/398658/why-youre-better-off-avoiding-the-iphone"we had our doubts/a.
The iPhone 2.0 launch did start to show some of the cracks in the Apple armormdash;several of the
earliest versions of the software were crash and freeze-prone, requiring many users to uninstall
apps and reset their phone software to fix maddening keyboard delays and application crashes.
Meanwhile, Apple's approval-only App Store left a few applications out in the cold. Still, the
iPhone 2.0 software created a compelling mobile platform and app marketing campaign that made Aunt
Bertha really want to try that Neil Diamond song out on Shazam.br clear="all"/p h3

src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/12/cydia-thumb.png" width="135"
height="135" align="right" class="right" What with the App Store limitations and Apple's insistence
on ruling over what you can and cannot do on your phone, it's not surprising the enthusiastic
"jailbreak" community soldiered on this year, continuing to offer installers and non-Apple-approved
applications for your iPhone even in the face of the mainstream iTunes App Store. We take our hats
off to these intrepid hackers, who offer such lovely functionality as the ability to SSH into,
theme, and download video clips to your phone; if you haven't jailbroken your iPhone or iPod touch,

height="135" Google's answer to Apple's proprietary iPhone hardware and software came in the form
of their very own touch mobile phone operating system, Android, which launched this past October.
Unlike the iPhone, this new mobile platform is open source and will run on various handsets going
forward. Right now Android's first release is only available on the HTC G1 handset; you can see our
a href="http://lifehacker.com/5064117/a-hands+on-first-look-at-google-android"hands-on first look
at Google Android running on the G1 here/a. As an iPhone user frustrated by limited apps,
crashiness, and lack of copy and paste, Android is like a breath of fresh air. Even though the
mobile OS is still very new, its open-source nature has led to hundreds of new apps. See our pick

width="135" height="135" Our favorite web application on the internet, Gmail, continues to burn
down barns and rip up the competition with continual iteration and feature adds. This year, Gmail
added a "Labs" section to your account, a safe way for power users to enable "experimental" power
features to their email while keeping everyone else's safe from harm. Truthfully, when I a

press event announcing Gmail Labs/a back in June, I had my doubts about whether or not the
featureset would ever expand beyond the initial 13, and if it would go beyond eye-candy games like
Snakey to, you know, actually useful stuff. Turns out it did. Six months later, a

Labs features/a are available in your account, including a super-useful Gadgets feature that lets

because of a href="http://lifehacker.com/392160/top-10-firefox-3-features"the "AwesomeBar" and the
rest of the "Had no idea I needed this but now I love it!" features/a it offers, but because the
launch itself was a grass-roots community-driven effort towards making software history. Indeed, on
June 17th of this year, the makers of Firefox a
href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/press/mozilla-2008-07-02.html"set a new Guinness World Record
for most software downloads in a given day/a, at more than eight million downloads of the new
browser iteration in 24 hours. If you haven't dug into the advanced functionality Firefox has to
offer, check out our a href="http://lifehacker.com/396312/power-users-guide-to-firefox-3"power

width="135" height="135"While Mozillians and Firefox users celebrated across the globe over the
summer, no one knew that search powerhouse Google was in the software development lab cooking up
their own lean, mean browsing machine that would forsake all of the fox's bells and whistles (and
extensibility) to run Javascript-based applications lightening-fast. On September 2nd, Google
released the first beta of a href="http://google.com/chrome/"Chrome/a, their new web browser which
they hope you'll make your window to the web and all its apps. Our own in-house a
href="http://lifehacker.com/5055406/browser-speed-tests-the-compiled-up+to+date-results"browser
speed tests show that Chrome is indeed speedy/a, and we're seeing a significant uptake on Chrome
usage by Lifehacker readers. (Last month's browser breakdown for Lifehacker readers was 62%
Firefox, 22% IE, 8% Safari, and 6% Chrome. Not bad for a browser that's been out only a few
months.) For more Chrome goodness, see our a

height="135" align="right" class="right" Yeah, yeah, the iPhone launched in 2007, but this year the
iPhone 2.0 software and the new iPhone 3G model with a faster data plan and GPS came out to hype
almost as big as the original iPhone launch. The combination of an operating system that finally
ran third-party apps officially plus pinpointy GPS goodness set the bar for what users can expect
to get from the next generation of smartphone with a fast internet connection, full-on browser, and
spot-on location-awareness. Plus, dozens of the apps available for the phone are free. At first, we

href="http://lifehacker.com/398658/why-youre-better-off-avoiding-the-iphone"we had our doubts/a.
The iPhone 2.0 launch did start to show some of the cracks in the Apple armormdash;several of the
earliest versions of the software were crash and freeze-prone, requiring many users to uninstall
apps and reset their phone software to fix maddening keyboard delays and application crashes.
Meanwhile, Apple's approval-only App Store left a few applications out in the cold. Still, the
iPhone 2.0 software created a compelling mobile platform and app marketing campaign that made Aunt
Bertha really want to try that Neil Diamond song out on Shazam.br clear="all"/p h3

height="135" align="right" class="right" What with the App Store limitations and Apple's insistence
on ruling over what you can and cannot do on your phone, it's not surprising the enthusiastic
"jailbreak" community soldiered on this year, continuing to offer installers and non-Apple-approved
applications for your iPhone even in the face of the mainstream iTunes App Store. We take our hats

of their very own touch mobile phone operating system, Android, which launched this past October.
Unlike the iPhone, this new mobile platform is open source and will run on various handsets going
forward. Right now Android's first release is only available on the HTC G1 handset; you can see our

crashiness, and lack of copy and paste, Android is like a breath of fresh air. Even though the
mobile OS is still very new, its open-source nature has led to hundreds of new apps. See our pick

width="135" height="135" Our favorite web application on the internet, Gmail, continues to burn
down barns and rip up the competition with continual iteration and feature adds. This year, Gmail
added a "Labs" section to your account, a safe way for power users to enable "experimental" power
features to their email while keeping everyone else's safe from harm. Truthfully, when I a
href="http://lifehacker.com/395211/gmail-gets-13-experimental-new-features"attended the Google
press event announcing Gmail Labs/a back in June, I had my doubts about whether or not the
featureset would ever expand beyond the initial 13, and if it would go beyond eye-candy games like
Snakey to, you know, actually useful stuff. Turns out it did. Six months later, a
href="http://lifehacker.com/5052060/what-gmail-labs-features-do-you-have-enabled"ten more Gmail
Labs features/a are available in your account, including a super-useful Gadgets feature that lets
third parties embed their apps into your inbox. (Like a

This post is part of Mashable’s Startup Review series,
which highlights great unsung startups. The series is made possible by Sun Startup
Essentials.
Company Name
Send
20-Word Description
Send is a free, easy-to-use email encryption service.
CEO’s Pitch
It’s not that there aren’t other secure methods to send an email … It’s
just that they’re too hard to use. We think everyone should be able to send a secure email
… and we all have better things to do than spend an afternoon installing and configuring
an encryption solution.
We don’t require you to maintain encryption keys - Though we think the public/private key
method works, we also think it was created for geeks and technicians.
Send is compatible with all email solutions including web mail - Anyone with a browser and an
internet connection can use Send. and, unlike other available solutions, Send requires no
software downloads or additional system configuration.
The service is easy to use - We created Send because the previous process for sending secure
messages was too difficult. Our studies suggest that people will not send encrypted messages if
the process is even marginally more difficult than normal. Simply put, security is important, but
cannot impede productivity.
Mashable’s Take
Personally, I probably take Gmail’s security for granted and have never really thought
about sending an encrypted email. But, if I was sending something like, say, the passcode to my
house’s security system, I suppose it would be a good idea. Simply called
“Send,” the service promises to encrypt your emails “using the same algorithm
the NSA has deemed fit for the encryption of TOP SECRET information.” I could tell you how
they obtained that algorithm, but then they’d have to kill me.
In any event, using Send for delivering an encrypted message is incredibly easy. Here’s how
it works:
1. On Sendinc.com, enter your email address, your recipients, a subject, your message, and any
attachments.
2. If you haven’t used the service before, Send will require you to verify the sender
address by sending you a confirmation message. You’ll also have to setup a password for
using that account in the future.
3. Send your message
4. Recipients will receive the message and be required to open an attachment, which contains the
encrypted message.
5. From the attachment, recipients click-thru back to Send, where they’ll also have to
create an account.
6. Send decrypts the message and shows the contents to the recipient.
Not having much experience sending encrypted messages, I can’t speak for the alternatives,
but as Send explains with the diagram below, they sound cumbersome. Doing it all over the Web,
with a solution that will work regardless of what email program the recipients are using, seems
like the best way. But then again, if I actually had stuff that was so top secret I needed to use
Send, I’d probably take a closer look at all of the options.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon...n1.4a219e8.html
"Blockbuster Inc. caught up to the competition last week by introducing a set-top box that
brings rentals from the Internet to the television. Now, the Dallas-based company hopes to pass
the pack by teaming with Microsoft Corp. on new mobile services that will let customers watch
even more movies on more devices. 'Eventually, we'll give customers instant access to any movie
on any device with an Internet connection and a screen,' said Keith Morrow, Blockbuster's chief
information officer."
I really love Netflix and their Watch Now service but the truth is their selection is pretty slim
pickings. Out of the 400 DVD's in my Netflix queue, only 9 of them are available as Watch Now
titles. Out of all of those 9 movies, I cannot play any of them on my Windows Mobile devices or
any other mobile device I own. It will be very interesting to see how Blockbuster is able to pull
this off, especially since they mention the ability to stream any movie on any device. Now the
real question is does any movie count as any movie they carry in their stores and online service
or will this be like Netflix where it is any movie they will have in their handful of movies that
are able to stream. Only time will tell. It is nice however to see big name companies already
utilizing the new Live Mesh platform.
