Volunteers create new digital maps
,----[ Quote ]
| "A lot of people thought 'garbage in;
| garbage out' â if you only had the ordinary
| Joe on the street contributing data, you'd
| get bad data," said Steve Coast, who
| founded OpenStreetMap as a university
| student in Britain in 2004 when he couldn't
| find any open-source digital map data, and
| decided to go out and map Regent's Park in
| London himself. "And in fact, it's much
| better data."

Open Source Spying: 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| In 2006, Clive Thompson wrote in a
| watershed New York Times Magazine article
| âBillions of dollarsâ worth of ultrasecret
| data networks couldnât help spies piece
| together the clues to the worst terrorist
| plot ever. So perhaps, they argue, itâs
| time to try something radically different.
| Could blogs and wikis prevent the next
| 9/11?â (Open-Source Spying) At the Gov 2.0
| Expo, Clive Thompson will discuss the
| progress made in the Intelligence Community
| since that 2006 with Matthew Burton, Chris
| Rasmussen, and Lewis Shepherd.

Forget Avatar, the real 3D revolution is coming to your front room

| opportunities were only the beginning?
| What if 3D printing actually changed lives

| a senior lecturer at the department of
| mechanical engineering at the University
| of Bath. Since 2005 he has been working on
| the Reprap, a project with a clear aim: to
| make a 3D printer that can reproduce
| itself.
