It is now legal to jailbreak an iPhone. Yes, it voids warranty, but at least it’s allowed! i cant even describe how happy this makes me!!! Yesterday lots of tweets were shooting around after I posted the Wired story of the legal news & everyone was all proud of the USA. It was so sweet to see pride and even patriotism from so many geeks who rarely feel heard/ understood by govt.
This will open up so much for developers — and it deregulates a lot of app dev that Apple was otherwise holding tight reins on for their own profitability. Understandably. But now that cannot happen anymore. That said, I agree with Tarah:
if you’re going to jailbreak your iPhone, you have to respect the hardware that you’ve been given, but it’s up to you to figure out how to create a positive user experience on your own (or with the developer community), because, in my opinion, it comes with a pretty superb user experience upon purchase. Ethically, though, I agree with this decision - if you buy a machine, you should be able to do whatever you want with it, as long as it’s not endangering anyone.
-Tarah (more @ his post: BIG digital rights changes yesterday )
How might this change things immediately for you? theoretically, any phone can now be sold and unlocked on any carrier (if supported)! That means when you travel you can hook up a world phone without contract (sometimes) & a host of other small awesomenesses that should have ALWAYS existed.

Semantic Web, or Web 3.0 is a set of dynamic, standard, enabling technologies, that enable a user to understand and access information on the Web based on what it means to them, not a machine, per se

Fraternity of the Wired Works in the Wee Hours
By JENNA WORTHAM
NEW YORK — After college, most people do their best to avoid having to pull any more all-nighters. But for some, even after graduation, the wee hours of the morning are the most productive……
One big advantage of the late-night hours is that they are blissfully free of the distractions that clutter the daytime. Even the Web goes quiet. People feel less compelled to check Twitter and Facebook and chat with friends and colleagues via instant message.
“When you don’t have your co-workers constantly interrupting you, fewer friends bored at work and on IM, it’s easier to get things done,” said Montana Low, the chief scientist atRescueTime, which makes productivity software. “A lot of people have problems with this type of distraction, and everyone is looking for ways to get a little more out of their day.”

![Social gaming start-up Zattikka raised $5.5 million through parent company Expedite 5, Inc. in an investment led by Notion Capital and a group of private individuals including Harald Ludwig. Clearly, Notion must view browser-based and mobile social gaming as a big growth area.
Zattikka will use the new funding to invest in recruitment, marketing and R&D to broaden its portfolio of browser and mobile games. Zattikka was founded in August 2009 by Tim Chaney and Mark Opzoomer, two former Virgin games executives.
In the past 3 months they report an increase in average monthly unique users by 76%, exceeding 1 million unique users in June, 2010. It also boasts a total of over 77 million “recorded game plays” across its entire games portfolio. That’s pretty big for a little guy.
“Online social gaming is one of the most exciting markets at the moment. [unlike competitors who are dependent on one product or franchise, Zattikka] “is dedicated to owning as much IP as it can.” —Ian Milbourn, founding partner of Notion Capital
