AvantGo, the once ubiquitous application for all PDAs, is shutting down its web sync service. Users of the service have just begun to see banners stating, “Starting June 30, Avantgo will no longer offer mobile web content.” With modern wireless networks and browsers built in to new smartphones, the on device browser just couldn’t meet [...]
I recently borrowed an iPod Touch from a friend and co-worker to play with the new 2.0 firmware version and App Store. There’s a lot of potential with this new platform. The very attractive device, capable hardware and ridiculous hype associated with iPhone makes it a great platform for developers to get wide exposure for [...]
In February, the OpenCalais project was slashdotted because it had opened a bounty on a WordPress plug-in to produce RDF formatted version of blog posts. The project sounded interesting, and my previous semantic web project had just stalled. The specification was very loose, so I assumed that they were expecting a simple alpha that could [...]
Apparently Google has finally gotten sick of spyware authors taking advantage of them and have devised a system for preventing automated searches. Unfortunately, they’re just blocking entire IP blocks from using their service. This means that large corporate networks who’s outbound net goes through a small number of IPs gets entirely blocked from [...]

There are a few critical things you’ll need to get started with OpenAds development:

Years ago I was introduced to a young autistic man while my sister was working at a camp for ‘adult children’. Steven was polite and well spoken among his peers, but had few real friends. He also had a savant-like gift for dates. If Steven were asked, “What day of the week was it on [...]
There exists a model of using several ‘experts’ or classifiers in order to increase the relevancy of a result. In the fish example from Duda, Hart, Stork, a group of experts are asked to determine if a fish is diseased. 9 of them say it’s not, but one disagrees. How do you [...]
Web companies - ad revenue based media companies in particular - have amassed great amounts of data on their users. However, they’re data rich and problem poor. Access and error logs are everywhere, but generally they’re not mined for anything more than simple metrics. I’ve used several log analyzers and web trend [...]
