There are two main methodologies of open source development. There’s the Apache model, which is design by committee – great for things like web servers. Then you have the benevolent dictator model. That’s what Ubuntu is doing, with Mark Shuttleworth.
When in my writing lair, I have no access to the Web. Otherwise, I’m like one of those lab rats on too much sugar. To compile my Google searches would be to see my sludgy, allusive brain at work.
I love the idea of something beautiful happening, and then it being abrasively cut into. Because in a way it’s similar to switching channels or surfing the web; I like people getting lulled into something and then taking them somewhere else.
Twitch is a platform. Switch it on, and you’ll find thousands of channels of pure gameplay rolling around with people talking in the background. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll also find people talking on camera, with sets built like an actual talk show, and schedules of events posted at the bottom of the web page.
My earliest design work was print, and that was my first love. Of course, as the years went on, I did more and more Web design and less and less print. And like everyone who made the switch from print to Web design, I bemoaned the lack of control.
I was the first to advocate the Web. But I am very troubled by this thing that every kid must have a laptop computer. The kids are totally in the computer age. There’s a whole new brain operation that’s being moulded by the computer.
In ’93 to ’94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.
The wisdom of the crowds has peaked. Web 3.0 is taking what we’ve built in Web 2.0 – the wisdom of the crowds – and putting an editorial layer on it of truly talented, compensated people to make the product more trusted and refined.
Just as it can be addictive to be in a real world bookstore or library, it’s the same on the Web.
I’ve definitely pitched some viral ideas and do have a pretty good understanding of the Web.
Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don’t care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.
I’m on the Web a lot. I like to play games online. Sometimes I play Sims.
There is quality work happening on the web and there is room for everybody to work. It is not just about hero or heroine thing on the web. The focus is also on multiple characters.
Acting-wise, I did a web series. I play a music agent in a series called ‘Keeping Up with the Downs.’
Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.
If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.
I don’t let myself ‘surf’ on the Web, or I would probably drown.
Facebook is becoming the web. Everything you need is there… it is the universe.
Women, by nature, are a certain way; they think a certain way. Women are web thinkers. We think wide… Why? Because we have children. Why? Because we were born as women to have children and to be able to take care of them. We do so many things at once.
For days on end, I avoid the Web, never logging in until about two or three, after I’ve written all morning. On a good week, I don’t go online till after Wednesday, so four or five days might lapse without my checking e-mail.
I’ve learned the dangerous lesson of the web: You succeed by giving up control, and that’s inverse of the normal campaign.
Traditionally, nations have harnessed taxpayers to their territory by making almost all social guarantees dependent on working in one country, every day, every month, and for at least three decades. In creating free movement of people, this web has only got more complex but never disappeared.
If you don’t have an E-mail address, you’re in the Netherworld. If you don’t have your own World Wide Web page, you’re a nobody.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it’s managed responsibly.
I have no idea how to get in touch with anyone anymore. Everyone, it seems, has a home phone, a cell phone, a regular e-mail account, a Facebook account, a Twitter account, and a Web site. Some of them also have a Google Voice number. There are the sentimental few who still have fax machines.
The upfront spend to build trial, authentic reviews, web traffic, and passion for your product is far less expensive than paying tens of thousands of dollars for a one-time activation with an ‘of the moment’ star.
Skype is easy enough to use so that people don’t need to be tech savvy – a lot of users just want to communicate with their friends and family, and they find this is the easiest, cheapest way. If you can use a Web browser, you can use Skype.
The Internet has heralded a revolution in our society. It has transformed the way we do business, entertain, communicate, and travel. In many ways, the change has been positive. The web has brought new freedoms, spurred economic growth, and extended the boundaries of knowledge.
When I find the right information, the Web is a blessing; when I don’t, it’s a distraction.
It’s very, very difficult to reinvent yourself when you’re 40 or 50, whether you are a taxi driver who now needs to become a web designer, or anything else. It just becomes more difficult and more scary.
It has been aptly noted that web browsers are less Internet navigation tools than they are ebooks with highly diverse content.
Cognitive psychology has shown that the mind best understands facts when they are woven into a conceptual fabric, such as a narrative, mental map, or intuitive theory. Disconnected facts in the mind are like unlinked pages on the Web: They might as well not exist.
I don’t surf the web very much.
There are two main methodologies of open source development. There’s the Apache model, which is design by committee – great for things like web servers. Then you have the benevolent dictator model. That’s what Ubuntu is doing, with Mark Shuttleworth.
A lot of web companies will take a short-term approach and sell to an incumbent and don’t end up living up to their full potential.
If I were to write Web now, it would be a much, much darker book.
I have been following an English web series and was inspired how Hollywood actresses express themselves and bring out their personality.
Here is a guiding principle: If a business collects data on consumers electronically, it should provide them with a version of that data that is easy to download and export to another Web site.
The original idea was to make it easy to publish content on the Web and find an audience. What we learned from publishers is that the thing they want the most is more readers and more revenue.
People really do not have time to read all the newspapers in the world and all the sites that we now commonly use on the web. There is no possibility of keeping up.
When I do web shows, I want to do something that is good and different.
Most spiders eat and remake their webs every night.
That’s the power behind a tool like Facebook Connect. It is making a Web without walls. Facebook allows you to go to other sites to comment, rate, etc., without having to set up a new profile for that site.
I have also done a web show called ‘Delhi Police’. It is about the investigation around the Nirbhaya case. It is also very path-breaking and interesting.
Nobody is going to try to confiscate guns, although some Web sites know better: President Obama, they are certain, wants to.
I’ve made sure to always update my web properties constantly – Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, my Hypebeast blog… making sure I divided content across all of them to keep each outlet fresh to keep people coming back.
I think anyone who uses the web is smart and will profit.
I think there are a lot of honest people doing honest business on online auctions. But the control on these Web sites is pretty minimal.
There is no longer any anonymity on the Web – unless we mandate it. The most personal information about your online habits is collected, bought and sold, often instantaneously and invisibly. Data collection is a business driven by profits at consumers’ expense.
All the information you could want is constantly streaming at you like a runaway truck – books, newspaper stories, Web sites, apps, how-to videos, this article you’re reading, even entire magazines devoted to single subjects like charcuterie or wedding cakes or pickles.
Every single aspect of myself, let me put it this way, it’s all about trying to incorporate. It’s about trying to weave the web and keep everyone happy. And of course, it’s about giving value to those people so they continue to sponsor me.
I definitely feel like there’s a lot of terrible things on the Internet, obviously. You can really pretty much find anything on there. It’s pretty awful. And the crazy thing is that we don’t even access that much of it – it’s like the dark web or whatever. It’s the other Internet that we don’t even access.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a writer and an artist when I grew up. So in college, I was an English major, and then I became a fine artist. But when I arrived in San Francisco in 1995, I figured I could leverage my artistic skills by becoming a Web designer and programmer.
