We live in an age where technology is connecting us to a font of up-to-the-second information. When there was that volcanic eruption in Iceland, how quickly did you know about it? This immediacy and connectiveness is both a good thing and bad, according to President Obama, who spoke over the weekend at Virginia’s Hampton University. “You’re coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don’t always rank all that high on the truth meter,” President Obama said, with words [...]

The Apple iPad has been jailbroken, within hours of its US launch, according to a notorious US iPhone hacker. iPhone Dev-Team member MuscleNerd revealed this weekend that he managed to jailbreak the new iPad after it had only been on store shelves for one day. The crack is a variation on the “Spirit” jailbreak used to de-restrict iPhone 3.1.3 and is believed to use a browser-based exploit to get root access to the iPad. Which basically means you can run unsigned apps run on the tablet. Apple has not yet responded to the news, nor is the company likely to, publicly at least. Though [...]

A prototype hydraulic and latching mechanism could bring to blind computer users something they’ve never had before: a full-page. Right now, refreshable Braille displays are slow and unwieldy, allowing a user access to the equivalent of one line of text at a time. For this reason, the vast majority of Internet content and computer applications are unavailable to the blind. What’s worse, these displays are often horribly expensive. From North Carolina State University, where the research is taking place: The mechanism would be made of an electroactive polymer that is very resilient [...]

The search giant’s hesitation, pinpointed in a post on Google’s official blog, came after “Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists connected with China were being routinely accessed by third parties” for nefarious purposes.

Culture Minister, Margaret Hodge, has warned this week that “the context in which libraries operate is changing starkly and at speed” and that British citizens should get library membership entitlement from birth.

Speaking at SXSWi this week, Ek noted that he would love to see Spotify on a number of web-connected platforms and that convergence is the key to making the music service work. In his talk, he mentioned that Spotify’s deal with 3 in the UK was working when it comes to mobile phones, but there is definitely more to come. “We have been quite successful in Europe with our deals,” explained Ek. “What we have [...]

With 500GB disks now shipping as standard on all but entry-level PCs and 2TB disks costing less than £130, storage space has never been more abundant or affordable.
