The Timelines Facebook Doesn?t Have?

article_graphics_28Last week Facebook made history. After collecting data about its users for years, Facebook turned to designer Nicholas Felton�who decided it was time to take that data to the next level and visualize it ? and the�Timeline was born. But what about what?s going on with the rest of the world, and not just my friends... why doesn?t Facebook have timelines for that? We'll answer that in a minute, but first, why does it even matter? �For the same reason you are reading this article, people like to stay up to date on a wide spectrum of information?social, topical, local, national, global?and we all hate to miss an important new story.

My Mac Windows Switch

eWEEK Labs Technical Director Cameron Sturdevant's year of using and covering Apple products in the enterprise has come to an end with a newfound respect for Mac hardware and the resistance of Mac OS X 10.6.3, code-named Snow Leopard, to hacks and viruses. For executives and high-value creative content users he sees Apple's appeal. But as we enter the cloud computing age, Sturdevant is less enamored of fat clients of any variety for routine office workers. - For just over a year I've used a variety of Apple
