POPSTips from a traveling web developer Webworkers may, in a romantic fashion, dream of a life traveling and working where ever they want to. But the are a few considerations that might temper this feeling of unlimited freedom. Web developer Nate Weiner's trip to Japan gives some useful advice when traveling to places that, for instance, do not have Wifi connection.

POPSDirty business, exposed O boy, another 'scandal' related to Apple. I'm neither a fan nor an outspoken critic of Apple. But there's a lot going on lately around Apple and it doesn't look good. And yes, the world is unfair. I know. But that doesn't make it right.

POPSConversation starter: gambling with followers
I think it's a really interesting topic. But also a fine topic to get an idea of today's online discussion. I wonder if and how many comments this article gets. And what does that say? That we care? Or do we consume daily news as we consume our bread: thoughtless? Is 'what's new and interesting' determined by our own followers, or do we still rely on well known sources; sites and bloggers with the most followers? In that respect, it makes sense to question the 'currency' of 'followers'. And there's another thing: the intruiging Power of Numbers. Weight. Mass. Depth. As the makers of Bet Your Followers wrote: "we’ve watched the race to accrue followers become a strange obsession." The search for followers may stand for the archetypical desire to gather an army to conquer the world, or to build a stronghold to hide behind. If so, a game like Bet Your Followers may well be the start of a new kind of online strategic games, with a highly realistic touch. Speaking about sh

POPSThe article sucks, the comments rock! Please read the article first to understand what's the fuzz about, but I want to draw the attention to the comments, because I believe they make more sense. Too bad I couldn't clip the best parts (because it exceeds the limit).

POPSRetweeting comments, maybe also useful for Amplify? I love Clipmarks and Amplify, and i love to read and post comments on the clips. Imo, the comments are as valuable as the clip itself. Sometimes I even like the comments more than the content of the clip, and I wish to draw more attention too them, then retwitting or re-sharing the clip. So, I ask the Amplify team: is this possible?

POPSRechter: Zorgvuldigheidsplicht weegt zwaarder Agis heeft tot haar verweer aangevoerd dat zij een ‘bijzondere derde’ is als bedoeld in de Wet gemeentelijke basisadministratie persoonsgegevens (hierna: WGBA). Een gemeente is gehouden dergelijke bijzondere derden informatie uit de gemeentelijke basisadministratie te verschaffen, zelfs als met betrekking tot die persoonsgegevens een verzoek om geheimhouding is gedaan. Daartoe is volgens Agis vereist dat de betrokkene dit zelf bij de desbetreffende bijzondere derde aangeeft. De rechtbank stelt als volgt: Agis beschikte in overeenstemming met de WGBA over de persoonsgegevens van de kinderen van . Op basis van de WGBA was Agis - als 'bijzondere derde' niet gehouden tot geheimhouding. Dat neemt niet weg dat de maatschappelijke functie van een zorgverzekeraar een bijzondere zorgplicht (zorgvuldigheidsplicht) met zich brengt. Agis had zowel uit de aanduiding code ‘geheim’ en de uit de administratie van Agis blijkende gegevens, kunnen aannemen dat er sprake was

POPSStephen Fry: Twitter studies are pointless babble A selection of sane comments: "Hear, hear!" "This is the best answer on the study on Twitter that I read so far!" "I heard that 40% of short-term studies are pointless babble…" "i would question how anyone could possibly create ‘meaningful commercial or political content’ in less than 140 characters!" "Nonsense is highly underrated, being the essence of all language." "Surely pointless babble is the best kind of babble, while the rest is nothing more than attemps to sell a product or a belief." "Without “Babble” our interactions would sound like the shipping forecast, and let’s face it, it’s not as though people really inwardly digest most of what is spoken at them." "but let’s get one thing clear, who the hell decides what is babble and what is not, what is worthy, what is not? " "I like to Twitter the same way that I like to chat " sometimes seriously, occasionally informatively, generally idly." "You wouldn’t condemn a party for being d
