"Mappers is an atlas of hand drawn maps. it is an ongoing project…" Too bad all texts are portrayed as pictures.

The release of Google Earth 5.2 had a lot of new features, so many that we had to write three different blog posts just to cover it all. Well, OK, four with this one. One of the most exciting features from a developer standpoint is the new KML extension, <gx:Track>.
We wanted a better way to represent movement on and above the globe. Time animation works well, but from a KML standpoint it required very bulky files. In order to “move” a <Point>, you created a new <Placemark> for each time segment. Your <Point> didn’t actually move, it merely was replicated at a different place. This made animating your path rather cumbersome. Instead, we wanted a smoother experience, and one that allowed you to truly animate a <Geometry>. So, we created <Track>. To get a real sense of the power of <Track>, check out this video.

As a follow-up to Apple's emergency iPhone 4 press conference yesterday, in which Steve Jobs claimed that all smartphones suffered from similar reception problems when held tightly (and also erroneously quoted Nokias as having "stickers on the back that say 'Don't touch here'"), Nokia has apparently responded with a statement, quoted below.

Do you want RegexPal-style regex syntax highlighting on your webpages? This library takes care of it for you, so you can spend more time writing powerful regular expressions and less time deciphering them. Currently, JavaScript regexes only are supported. Any regex features not supported by JavaScript are marked as errors, along with some edge cases that cause cross-browser grief. There's a bit more detail in my related blog post.

The Full Page Test loads a complete HTML page including all objects (images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes). It mimics the way a page is loaded in a web browser.
The load time of all objects is shown visually with time bars.

Miltä näyttää kun kesken autovideon kuvauksen käy karhu kimppuun? Tai miltä kuulostaa kun "romaniaa" puhuvat Epätieteellisen seuran valkotakkiset herrat päästetään autotohtoreiksi?
Entä kuinka käy kun mahtiauto ja pappamopo ottavat toisistaan mittaa moottoriradalla – viännettynä eli savoksi selostettuna?
Ja mitkä autot esittelevät horsebicin harrastajat, avaruusmies tai kesälomaileva joulupukki?
Oudot, hauskat ja mieliinpainuvat videot on kuvannut Kimmo Taskinen.

“Listen up, team. Our task is to create a system that will frustrate and perhaps even anger a large number of our organization’s employees, customers, and potential customers. What can we do?”
“Well, we might affect them when they are most vulnerable; say, when they are looking for a job or a promotion.”

There was a time when companies described what they were trying to communicate rather than larding in unnecessary hyperbole. It gave us a sense of what is going on. Somewhere along the way, that sense of simple communication was lost in the need to demonstrate self-serving leadership status. Is it any wonder that some of us don’t even read press releases anymore?
Here is my pet list of words I find a turn off when used injudiciously:
-
"Steve Jobs addressed the media at the Apple Press conference and explained the Apple iPhone 4 antenna and call reception issues. Catch Steve Jobs explaining the iPhone 4 issues"
