Burning Question: Why Do DVDs Still Have Region Codes?
While vacationing in France, you find a DVD of Ishtar. Score! (It’s never been released on DVD in the US).

And why do we still have region codes?
The answers: taste and money, respectively. Though there’s no accounting for the former, those codes may soon be gone.
Regional restrictions began in 1997, as DVD technology was rolling out. They have nothing to do with the NTSC and PAL...
The Perils of Cloud Computing
What would happen if your future arrived too early? If you got the keys to your first car when you were eight? Landed your first big management job at 15?
I’ve been asking those questions while playing with the Cr-48 laptop, the first implementation of Google’s cloud-based Chrome operating system. After a few months with it, I feel like it’s important, but I also think it’s from a future we’re simply not ready for.

Content-Focused iPad Apps Value Form Over Function: Study
One set of instructions for the Moleskine iPad app.
A report released by the Nielsen Norman Group shows that many iPad apps are confusing users by being too subtle about the gestures needed to navigate them, and some are not sensitive enough to the accuracy limit of fingertips. The authors also found that many companies with perfectly functional websites are wasting their time making a less-functional iPad app.

Mothers, lock up your gamers. The PlayStation phone has arrived.

You could almost call the Xperia Play the shorter, fatter cousin to the svelte Xperia Arc, which Sony Ericsson once described as the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” At .62 inches, the Play looks positively bulky compared to its Xperia-line relatives — a veritable Jan Brady to the Arc’s Marcia.
