Keeping with control of content and customization
Personalized web page similar to myYahoo.com, built with a relatively new language called Ajax. I vaguely understand how it works. However, play around with this and you'll see it has some great potential. Completely confused? Go to the tiny about link at the bottom of the page.
www.netvibes.com/ - I've played around with my page some - the best thing I discoverd is it makes a good starting RSS reader if you don't have very many feeds to keep track of.

I needed to add one more since there was talk about photo copyright and flickr and this is amazing to me.

True to the end

Winston's take on holography was interesting. This might be because I can actually remember some of the hype about it when I was younger. Holography was going to revolutionize they way we see everything, movies, pictures, books. Well we all know that hasn’t happened. In the examples we’ve read thus far, the supervening social necessity can be looked at from 2 angles; necessity is created because the technology or invention is cheap to produce and therefore buy, and the new invention is finally easy to use for the unwashed masses. Did anyone else think Winston’s tone in this last chapter was a little more fun? At least not so hyper scientifically dull?
