SAN VICENTE DEL CAGUAN, Caqueta, Colombia (Reuters) - The dirt tracks winding through southern Colombia's tangled jungle often mark the beginning of the end for besieged patches of rainforest in this part of the Amazon. Across San Vicente del Caguan, one of the country's most deforested regions, illegal and informal roads fan out in an ever-expanding network, bringing visitors, commercial interests and farmers and ranchers who clear and burn the land. The result is the steady decay of Colombia's Amazon. A Reuters map of the region shows a lattice of lines that crisscross one another and creep southward into the forest and fan out on all sides. (Graphic: https://tmsnrt.rs/329ehRE) The destruction, which is striking on the ground, is significant enough to be visible from the sky. Patches of deforestation appear at the furthest extent of the roads, according to the map, which underlines the impact of unplanned roadbuilding by combining satellite imagery and local … [Read more...] about Road to ruin: informal byways sow seeds of destruction in Colombia’s Amazon

Apple probably thought ‘mini’ was just not small enough to describe the new miniscule – I mean nanoscule – MP3 player. The nano was smaller than the mini – although it was only 0.1in shorter. Newton Fourteen years before the iPhone and 17 before the iPad Apple threatened to turn computing on its head by releasing a handheld PC that you could fit in your pocket – if you had really big pockets. The big thing about this not-so-little thing was its handwriting recognition, which unfortunately, on launch, was about as accurate as the weather forecast. It effectively damned the device from Day One – even when it was immeasurably improved in later versions. On its debut the handwriting recognition dictionary contained just 10,000 words – about the same as a bookish six-year-old child. Like the iPhone and iPad that followed it so many … [Read more...] about Simon Jary – Apple’s N of the road

If you were interested in technology around 2013 and 2014, lifelogging , or the practice of recording everything about your life for digital posterity, increased self-awareness, and potentially personal growth, was the big trend . The wide adoption of lifelogging seemed inevitable, at least based on the number of products and interest surrounding it, but it never really took off in the way lifelogging evangelists said it would. Or did it? Despite all the privacy concerns that eventually made lifelogging a dirty word, we have still all become lifeloggers — we just don’t call it that. Sadly, we may have lost out on the main redeeming feature about it in the process. Lifelogging tech Google Glass is perhaps the quintessential life-logging product. It was designed to be worn all the time and had a camera that could take stills and video, which it then uploaded directly to Google Now (remember that?) for all to see, and you to remember. You could feasibly catalog everything that … [Read more...] about Lifelogging isn’t dead. It lives on, just without any of the promised benefits
