Away with Applications: The Death of the Desktop
Away with Applications: The Death of the DesktopGoogle engEDU1 hr 26 min 30 sec - May 4, 2007Google Tech Talks May 4, 2007 ABSTRACT The computer desktop metaphor is ubiquitous, but how much work do we get done there? None! Time is entirely wasted navigating or shuffling content to the application in which we can finally work. What lessons can we learn from designing interfaces without the desktop and without applications? Is it even possible? And how does this apply to the Web? Currently, Web applications are often more usable than their desktop-based counterparts because each one does one thing and does it well. Desktop applications used to be the same way, but over time -- as applications grew to support the the users in the long tail -- each became a complex portmanteau of all possible features. If we are not careful, our Web apps will suffer the same conglomerated fate. Mashups and services help to solve the problem on the development end by freeing functionality from any particular application. But, there is currently no way to offer that wealth of possible functionality to users in a scalable way. Would it be nice to embed a dynamic map into your Gmail message? Sure. A Flickr slideshow? Sure. But for Google to offer those in addition to the hundreds of other possible options, would clutter the interface beyond usability. What's needed is a universal method of accessing functionality: a way of harnessing the power of services without the need for application developers to explicitly support them. I'll be demonstrating such a method. The talk demonstrates that a ZUI plus a universal method of accessing functionality spells the death of the application-centric computing model and the desktop-design paradigms.

The Defenders of Stan - ep. 8
"Stan" rolls on this month to effortlessly topple "Gemberling" as longest-running Channel 102 show, a record that has stood since "Gemberling" premiered at the very first Channel 102 screening in 2005. Austin Bragg, Hunter Christy, and the rest of the Big Honkin' crew (based in Washington, DC and Virginia), longtime 102 legends, now have one more notch in their utility belts. In this episode: Holy "Batman" parody, Captain Ultra!
Everything is Miscellaneous
Everything is MiscellaneousGoogle engEDU57 min 0 sec - May 10, 2007Google Tech Talks May 10, 2007 ABSTRACT David Weinberger's new book covers the breakdown of the established order of ordering. He explains how methods of categorization designed for physical objects fail when we can instead put things in multiple categoreis at once, and search them in many ways. This is no dry book on taxonomy, but has the insight and wit you'd expect from the author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, Small Pieces Loosely Joined, and a former writer for Woody Allen.
