The BBC introduces The Internet: "at the heart of all this technology are things called cookies; programs that track where we've been and what we've been doing online". #fud #cookies #technofear #justplainwrong

I'm sure this wouldn't have happened on +Rory Cellan-Jones watch.

I've been looking forward to Coda 2 fixing all those little minor flaws in Coda for what seems like forever. Now it's out, I can't help but feel a little disappointed for Panic. They've missed an opportunity. Should have released early and often. Sublime Text 2 has supplanted Coda. Even with Coda 2's really beautiful niceties, the cross platform brilliance of Sublime seems likely to win out.

Coda 2

Hey #googleplus denizens. How can I get a circle to stay in that little top bar between visits? i.e. I don't want to know about Family or Friends most of the time, I do want to know about the interesting morsels our BSc Web Technologies students are discussing. But, when I reload, I'm back to All, Family, Friends. Hopefully it's a config option I'm missing… or perhaps it needs a #greasemonkey script.

I'm trialling Google Drive on our apps domain. Brilliant although … it does insist on using the folder name "Google Drive", which is ugly. I use short folder names, nocaps, nospaces. #onetinyflaw #frasiercrane #googledrive

Google does the semantic web

Except they call it the "knowledge graph".

Notwithstanding all the snide remarks, disinformation, cranks, wonks and derailers, the semantic web is at its core an awesome idea. It's just an idea with an arc of about 20 years to reach true usefulness. I reckon we're past the halfway point on that arc.

Google Goes Back to What It Does Well: Finding Things

Surprise! Google has completely transformed the way search works again. But this time, it's a kind of search that would have made the old Google proud. Today, starting with U.S., English-language …
