Diego Doval: Introduction to Weblogs Part Two: Syndication - "Sometimes the technology can appear to be daunting, but there's lots of people working on making it better, and easier to use. Once you are more 'embedded' in the world of weblogs, you will start finding new uses and applications---things that were simply not possible only a few years ago---to communicate, collaborate and express yourself."

Scott Berkun (uiweb): The art of usability benchmarking - "Usability benchmarking is one way to get a longer term view of how easy to use things are, and what progress is being made over time. [...] By capturing the current level of ease of use of the current product or website, a reference point is created that can be measured against in the future. It doesn't answer the question of how usable is enough, but if the benchmark is done properly, it does enable someone to set goals and expectations around ease of use for the future."

BBC News: Indian drive to bridge IT chasm - "India is to spend more than $2.5bn to help bridge a growing technological gap between its urban and rural areas."
PC Magazine: Hotmail Overhaul on the Way - "Microsoft is preparing a substantial overhaul to its popular Hotmail e-mail service. While company officials aren't explicitly saying that many of the new features are geared toward removing spam annoyances, that looks to be the case. The update includes many new interface enhancements, including a new start page."
AP/Silicon Valley: "Despite the Internet's ability to deliver information quickly and frequently, the World Wide Web is littered with deadwood - sites abandoned and woefully out of date."

The Register: Usability - is it what we think it is? - "The problem is that we all think we know what usability means. But we all view it from our own perspectives. The trouble is that I, and probably most of you, are working with technology all the time, and we make assumptions about how easy it is, and what constitutes improved usability. That may be reasonably when you are considering what would be easier for an application developer, say, but it isn't when you starting having to think about inexperienced end users. It is probably a long time since any of us were in that position and it is simple to underestimate the complexity of the technology for those that are not familiar with it. The question is: how much more are we taking for granted?"
New Scientist: New processor computes at light speed - "A superfast computing processor that uses light, not electrons, to perform calculations has gone on sale for the first time. Lenslet, the Israeli company that developed the processor, say its light speed calculations deliver the power of a supercomputer in a single device."
