The creators of Wikipedia are launching a new travel site, Wikivoyage, aimed at providing worldwide travelers with free, up-to-date information about attractions, lodging, restaurants, nightlife and other essential on-the-go information. The Wikimedia Foundation's online travel initiative, which is ...
Amazon began shipping its Kindle Paperwhite e-reader on Monday, to a chorus of praise from reviewers who had been allotted a unit in advance. Most of the positive remarks were about the screen, with its built-in lighting. A typical comment said the screen makes it the best e-reader yet. However, a f...
Monmouth, Wales, has become the first "Wikipedia town," making it an area of international interest as it informally redubbed itself "Monmouthpedia." The Saturday event was attended by 70 to 75 people, said project leader John Cummings -- a sizable group for the area. That day, some 1,100 QR codes t...
If you've been involved in a project that has been documented on Wikipedia and has earned its own Wikipedia page, it can be disconcerting to visit one day and see the page vandalized, as happened to an associate of mine recently. This incident led to a frantic email exchange. One consideration was h...
As far as SOPA's critics are concerned, "if something works, break it" seemed to be the motto of the U.S. Congress last week as it rushed to pass a controversial bill that security experts maintained could throw a bomb into the gearbox of the Internet. The Stop Online Piracy Act, filed in the U.S. H...
The Stop Online Piracy Act appears to be reeling in the face of growing opposition. Internet heavyweights like Wikipedia, Google and Facebook have demonstrated their opposition to the proposed legislation, in some cases protesting by temporarily blocking users from accessing content. A broad swathe ...
Turns out there is a catch with the Kindle Touch 3G Amazon announced on Wednesday. The Touch 3G offers the addition of 3G wireless connectivity and sells for $149 -- $50 more than the Kindle Touch, which allows Web access over WiFi networks only. However, when you're using the 3G connectivity you ca...
Google is rolling out access in the U.S. to a tool that has already made a mark in other parts of the world: Map Maker. As the name suggests, Map Maker allows people to create and edit Google Maps. It debuted outside the U.S. because Google didn't believe there would be much demand for it in the sta...
AMD has begun shipping production units of its 32nm quad-core "Llano" A-series accelerated processor units (APUs) with discrete-level graphics, it announced Wednesday. That's well behind Intel, which began working on the 32nm process in 2009 and began shipping 32nm processors in 2010. "Once again, A...
Last week, I was on CES withdrawal and lusting after the latest Apple killer product, the Motorola XOOM, which like the Palm Pre years before was best of show. However, the Palm Pre failed in market and never became the iPhone killer it could have been. Given that Palm was full of ex-Apple emplo...
In what's been called the "biggest leak in intelligence history," more than 90,000 classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan came to light on Sunday and are wreaking havoc in political circles around the globe. Covering the period from January 2004 to December 2009, the reports were...
I don't mean the blind spot you get behind you when you're out on the road driving -- where you can't see a passing car in your rear-view mirror. Instead, I'm talking about something that's an aspect of human physiology: the "anatomical blind spot" -- a place inside your eye where the optic nerve r...
You don't have to be an Apple fanboy to rave about the coolness on display during a typical Steve Jobs keynote presentation. Sure, like any good speaker or stand-up comic, Jobs knows where his guaranteed applause/laugh lines fall during the hour or so he's on stage, and he's well aware of who will b...
Was it only four years ago that the anti-Facebook crowd was backlashing against the concept of the News Feed? Time sure flies when you're accusing the world's biggest social network of invading its users' privacy. Forget about the current spasm of criticism; hating on Facebook has been the default s...
Please don't get the wrong idea about this column; I have nothing against crowdsourcing. Some of my best friends belong to crowds. I also have nothing against the concept of a "free, Web-based, collaborative multilingual encyclopedia project," as Wikipedia defines itself. And while journalists, stud...
