Designers vs Coding →
electrikmuse:
“Do I need to know how to code?” is a question that comes up with sure-fire consistency in design circles.

Are you going to dual major? If so, it would be a pleasure to have you join the Senior Seminar and get a studio.

infoneer-pulse:
Like every other taxpayer-funded public service, libraries have been hit hard by budget cuts during the economic slowdown of the past several years. Adding insult to injury, fewer people read, and those who do are increasingly likely to use e-readers instead of print books. Those forces have combined to send many libraries searching for new ways of doing business.
One of the...

infoneer-pulse:
The disk drives powering Dropbox, Amazon’s Cloud Drive, and Google Music likely issued a small sigh of relief Monday, after a federal court judge found that the MP3tunes cloud music service didn’t violate copyright laws when it used only a single copy of a MP3 on its servers, rather than storing 50 copies for 50 users.
For Amazon and Google’s nascent cloud music services, the...
