Creative Commons is running a study on what "non-commercial" means to different people -- creators, remixers, corporations, webmasters, and so on. Many of us give out our works under Creative Commons "non-commercial" licenses (I do!), but there's a lot of disagreement about where the boundary between commercial and non-commercial lies. Your contribution to the survey will help Creative Commons refine this border and come up with something that we can all point to when a disagreement arises. As previously announced, Creative Commons is studying how people understand the term â??noncommercial useâ??. At this stage of research, we are reaching out to the Creative Commons community and to anyone else interested in public copyright licenses â?? would you please take a few minutes to participate in our study by responding to this questionnaire? Your response will be anonymous â?? we wonâ??t collect any personal information that could reveal your identity. Because we want to reach as many people as possible, this is an open access poll, meaning the survey is open to anyone who chooses to respond. We hope you will help us publicize the poll by reposting this announcement and forwarding this link to others you think might be interested. The questionnaire will remain online through December 7 or until we are overwhelmed with responses â?? so please let us hear from you soon! Non-Commercial study questionnaire...

Thereâ??s a screenshot thatâ??s been sitting on my desktop for a rather long time now, and itâ??s as scary as it is interesting.
Facebook recently conducted a poll which showed up on the homepage newsfeed, and asked Facebook members just how exactly did they think Facebookâ??s â??friend finderâ?? worked when it prompted them for their email [...]

These watches from Tokyo Street take three novel approaches to telling time: one draws a target, the other makes a graph, and the last displays ants. Glowing, inscrutable little ants.
The Ever-Increasing watch slowly draws a graph of the time which, though it displays what some might call a rather predictable function, gets the point across just fine. The SCOPE II is more direct: a small targeting reticle locks onto the current time, which is arranged among a bunch of incorrect ones. Then there's the ANT.
It's not clear what each of the the ANT watch's ants symbolize, but if you take for granted that they probably correlate somehow to the current time, then you can accept that it's at least a useful icebreaker. The SCOPE II and Ever Increasing watches are priced at $180 and the ANT at $120 from Japanese ??berimporter and Gizmodo Gallery suppoter Gizmine. [Tokyo Street at Gizmine]

A couple of hours ago, the Google Security Team posted an article claiming that Googleâ??s made the switch to OpenID, joining Yahoo! and Microsoft in the ranks OpenID providers.
But it looks like someone may have been a bit to hasty to pull that switch (perhaps itching to get some of the limelight Microsoft has been [...]
