We already know that people can be addicted to their cell phones and smartphones (nomophobia) and we know that marketers are using our attachments to various devices (and our incessant need for more) as a way to get us hooked. It may be sensationalistic to refer to companies like Apple...

by Jeff Wiener on November 18, 2011 tweetmeme_style = 'compact'; tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.thetelecomblog.com/2011/11/18/the-technological-wonders-of-google-x/';  In a world where many of our best minds are tasked with how to sell financial deregulation to Capital Hill and other under-handed Wall Street conundrums, it often seems like the futuristic world of flying cars and robot servants depicted in science fiction for the last half century will always remain just that…fiction.

What Is RDF and Why Should I Care?

In a previous article we discussed how the Semantic Web is about making content easier for machines to interpret.
