There’s an ongoing discussion in Greece lately (no, I’m not talking about the econimic crisis, debts and all this fiscal stuff). A journalist who appeared to be the founder and to maintain the most-visited blog worldwide, troktiko, was killed assassinated. Everything in troktiko was anonymous (no connection with Anonymous meme). Lot’s of people liked it and even more hated it. Despite all this, just after the assassination a conversation about internet anonymity started from journos and bloggers.

Thoughts on Twitter’s new API
I’ve been reading today about Twitter’s new User Streams API. Well I have to admit that I am a bit outdated on tech news since last week, because I went to Mt.

Lately, I see a few other friends to deactivating their Facebook accounts and some others who haven’t ever registered for a profile.

DeskShade & Locksreen bug/hack
You know, there’s a cool Mac OS X app out there called Deskshade with many great features and enhancments for your desktop. Although it comes with plenty of smart time-savers and other small thingies I use it only for it’s screen-lock capability, called DeskLock which actually is a similar to WinKey+L in PCs.

Της φαντασίας η συνέχεια της συνέχειας
Ο Ηλίας γράφει για το θέμα της φαντασίας (επικεντρωμένο στην επιστημονική πτυχή της), την τεχνολογία και το μέλλον. Η συσχέτιση με το Matrix και το Minority Report, αναπόφευκτη. Κάπου εκεί, ανάμεσα στις σκέψεις του, άφησα και εγώ ένα σχόλιο το οποίο τελικά προέκυψε ως η καλύτερη συζήτηση που είχα σε comments τα τελευταία 3 χρόνια blogging.
