Social networks: The great tipping point test | social network, behaviour, popular, mathematics, prediction, big brother, future, social control, sociology | Your online traces are helping fuel a revolution in the understanding of human behaviour – one that's revealing the mathematical laws of our lives. Every move you make, every twitter feed you update, somebody is watching you. You may not think twice about it, but if you use a social networking site, a cellphone or the internet regularly, you are leaving behind a clear digital trail that describes your behaviour, travel patterns, likes and dislikes, divulges who your friends are and reveals your mood and your opinions. In short, it tells the world an awful lot about you. | 20100726 | peek | visit | add/edit |

| 6 | Medieval Multitasking: Did We Ever Focus? | hypertext, Internet, medieval, pointer, writing, communication, literature, painting, history | The function of these images in illuminated manuscripts has no small bearing on the hypertext analogy. These “miniatures” (so named not because they were small—often they were not—but because they used red ink, or vermillion, the Latin word for which is minium) did not generally function as illustrations of something in the written text, but in reference to something beyond it. The patron of the volume might be shown receiving the completed book or supervising its writing. Or, a scene related to a saint might accompany a biblical text read on that saint’s day in the liturgical calendar without otherwise having anything to do with the scripture passage. Of particular delight to us today, much of the marginalia in illuminated books expressed the opinions and feelings of the illuminator about all manner of things—his demanding wife, the debauched monks in his neighborhood, or his own bacchanalian exploits. | 20100712 | peek | visit | add/edit | |

Iraq inquiry: Former UN inspector Blix says war illegal | Iraq, invasion, USA, UK, George W. Bush, Hans Blix, intelligence service, War On Terror, warmongering, war, United Nations, WMD | But Dr Blix said most international lawyers believed these arguments would not stand up at an international tribunal. "Some people maintain that Iraq was legal. I am of the firm view that it was an illegal war. There can be cases where it is doubtful, maybe it was permissible to go to war, but Iraq was, in my view, not one of those." He said he agreed with France and Russia, who argued that further UN authorisation was needed for military action. "It was clear that a second resolution was required," he said. In the run-up to war, he said the US government was "high on" the idea of pre-emptive military action as a solution to international crises. "They thought they could get away with it and therefore it was desirable to do so." | 20100727 | peek | visit | add/edit |
