QR Code Book with Twitter Feed
How would you feel about a book that was different every time you read it? Here is an interesting idea for a book based completely on QR Codes and twitter. The book contains 200 pages, 100 messages of love and 100 messages of hate and can only be read with a mobile phone. As there is no shortage of love/hate messages on twitter the book updates itself every week so it’s always changing.

Retailers missing the boat on internet research
As reported in The Australian
Australian retailers can fend off revenue leakage to overseas competitors and offset declining like-for-like sales through traditional channels, said Deloitte Australia’s Multi-Channel Retail specialist, Katherine Milesi.
Kasey Lobaugh, who leads Deloitte’s Retail Multi-Channel practice globally and is in Australia to address a conference said: “Australian retailers see the benefits of multi-channel retailing, however many of them lack a clear roadmap on how to get there.”
In a new paper titled: ‘Navigating multi-channel retail in Australia, moving from ‘if to how’?’ Ms Milesi discusses the best approach to multi-channel retail that encompasses online, mobile, phone and in-store self-service kiosks. She outlines how even in today’s difficult economic environment, retailers can achieve sustained cost reduction and develop new revenue streams.

The Future Of Mobile Computing
If you haven’t already seen the “Sixth Sense” demo by Pranav Mistry that recently went up on TED.com, then STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THIS NOW! This is the future, people.
This demo -- from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT, and spearheaded by student Pranav Mistry -- was the buzz of TED. It's a wearable data device that paves the way for data-rich interaction with the world. Imagine "Minority Report" and then some.

Why Facebook is good for you
IT STARTED with an article in the journal Biologist (vol 56, p 14) by the psychologist Aric Sigman. He argued that the increasing use of electronic media was causing a decrease in face-to-face social contact. Given that loneliness and isolation are linked to an increased risk of illness and death, might the internet and social networking sites be a health risk?
