iPHONE GOES MINI

Apple's managed to charge a premium price for its iPhones because we're willing to pay for it. While we routinely see Androids and Windows Phone 7 smartphones sold at heavily discounted prices, or even buy-one-get-one-free, if you want a new iPhone, you're pretty much stuck paying full price for it. Apple may be looking to draw away some of those users shopping for smartphone bargains, as the company is reportedly working on a budget-priced, smaller version of the iPhone. PocketNow

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
