Big Data and scientific transparency
Taymon
This piece in the New York Times highlights the recent phenomenon of social scientists working with data from companies like Google and Facebook, and how, in contrast to the ages-old principles of scientific transparency, they generally can’t release their data sets. It’s a really interesting and important question: How do you allow researchers to replicate each others’ results in the age of Big Data, while also protecting users’ privacy?

Turning the classic Snake Game into a Location-Based Exergame
vrml
The HCI Lab (http://hcilab.uniud.it ) of the University of Udine has turned the classic Snake game into a location-based exergame (LocoSnake) to encourage walking.
First, LocoSnake detects players’ position and retrieves the satellite photograph of the area that will be used as a playing field. Then, the player controls the Snake in the game by walking in the real-world, using GPS.
LocoSnake will be presented at the PERSUASIVE 2012 Conference in Sweden, and a technical paper with a detailed user evaluation of the exergame is available at this link: http://hcilab.uniud.it/publications/2012-02.htmlView Link [youtube.com]

Samsung Galaxy S3 – the lost advert from 1985
techvideo
TechRadar can exclusively reveal a lost Samsung Galaxy S3 advert, dating all the way back to 1985.
Although almost 30 years old, the Galaxy S3 has managed to stay under-wraps for the better part of three decades, with rumours about its arrival only beginning to leak six months ago.
Tucked away under our Mobile Devices Editor’s desk, hidden in a dusty VHS Back to the Future box, the video cassette housing this historic piece of film depicts the Samsung Galaxy S3 going head to head with the iPhone 4S, in what can only be described as an epic He-Man vs Skeletor esque battle.View Link [youtu.be]

Brain Pong
mccrum
I’m part of a hackerspace in Manhattan who has finally combined the classic game of Pong and EEG brainwaves to allow the movement of a player’s paddle via concentration. Then we decided to kick it up a notch and are in the process of building a version 6′ by 8′ tall.
We’ll be debuting it at the Figment festival here in town on Governor’s Island this summer as well as Maker Faire later on in the fall.

Museum of Endangered Sounds
gory
Preserve the sounds made famous by old technologies and electronics equipment. For instance, the textured rattle and hum of a VHS tape being sucked into the womb of a 1983 JVC HR-7100 VCR. As you probably know, it’s a wonderfully complex sound, subtle yet unfiltered.

Women Empowerment
swapniljain
IMOW launched its latest online exhibition, “MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe.” The rare and inspiring photographs, artwork, and stories in the exhibition depict women from all walks of life explaining how their role as a mother has affected them. While the importance of mothers figure remains the same throughout history and cultures, the experiences of mothers from one generation to the next has shifted drastically as cultures and societies have evolved.
The exhibition aims to turn inspiration into action, helping fuel a worldwide movement of advocates for mothers’ human rights and advances in maternal health. To do so, it has launched an online pledge that any visitor to the exhibition can sign in less than a minute. The pledge will be presented to the UN General Assembly in September 2012 to urge world leaders to make progress on the Millennium Development Goal of improved maternal health.View Link [mama.imow.org]

Translation of War and Peace for Nook replaces all instances of “Kindle” with “Nook”
Iron Clad Burrito
A publisher submitting War and Peace for the Barnes and Noble Nook replaced all instances of the word “Kindle” with the word “Nook” (presumably in an effort to curry favor with his preferred e-book overlords).
“It was as if a light had been Nookd in a carved and painted lantern…”

Unlike phonics which try to teach the many pronunciation rules of English, this directly shows the pronunciation data of English words, and can be a great tool for kids to read early.
