Apple makes a more complicated interface. On purpose.. I've got a new piece up on Slate today, about Apple's iApps, Microsoft's Longhorn (the rumored next generation OS), and... [stevenberlinjohnson.com]

Google Views: looks good from here.

New Google Labs!. New Google Labs!: "Google Labs has two new projects: Google Viewer lets you view the web pages of your search results, in a slideshow fashion. [Archipelago]

I think the Google Viewer is going to become a powerful tool.  It takes the power of Google much closer to the overall functinality provided by desktop tools like Copernic Agent.

Google Viewer is nifty. When I did a vcr (IE only sorry)for search results, I used a sidebar frame. I think my time controller, while it never got all the kinks out, is superior in allowing a full range of pages-per-minute, rather than a 1-second scale modify widget. Now, we just need the thing to have thumbnails and a quick way to switch from GViewer to the result list and back again. I'll have to put updating the search result version for Mozilla.

Stunning, Small and Super Cool Phone. This phone is cool. Small and cool. I posted about Neonode N1 a while back ago but haven't thought about it much since, to be honest. But am I glad this thing will happen, or what!? Neonode N1 is a Smartphone 2002 (it's Windows CE, at least) with a number of interesting modifications. The screen is a touch screen and has a built-in camera despite its exteremly small size! The Swedish cellphone and PDA magazine Mobil has had the opportunity to play around with a beta device. According to them Neonode N1 will be available in February 2003. Be sure to check out Neonode's really fresh site, and more stunning pictures! [Pocket PC Thoughts]

When to use Affect vs Effect

 

            I quick google search didn’t produce the answer so I thought I’d post it:

            Affect is a verb

e.g. What you eat affects how much you weigh.

 

            Effect is a noun

e.g. The effect of putting your hand through a window is your hand will be cut.

 

For the grammatically challenged, if you can replace the word with result and it still makes sense your using it as a noun so say effect.

What you eat result how much you weigh.        - use affect

            The result of putting your hand through a window is your hand will be cut.  - use effect

 

share and enjoy
