[読了時間:2分] 震災以降エネルギー問題が盛んに議論されているんだけど、僕自身専門家でもないし、何が正しいのかちょっと自分では判断つかない。そういう人も多いのではないかと思うんだけど、そのエネルギー問題についてロールプレイングゲームの感覚で学べるゲームの開発が進んでいる。開発しているのは、株式会社ダイスクリエイティブの小関昭彦さんを始めとする約20人のボランティア。 「EneShift」というタイトルで、主人公の新聞記者が約10人の識者にインタビューしていくというゲーム。識者はすべて実在の人物で、これまでに慶応大学教授の金子勝さん、歌手の加藤登紀子さん、衆議院議員の河野太郎さんなど、ボランティアスタッフが実際にインタビューして得た発言をゲームの中に埋め込んでいくという。 小関さんは「エネルギーって生活の根本。そのことを今まで当たり前に考えていた。311があって気にしないとまずいなと思った
[読了時間:1分] Android端末って日本国内だけで60機種、世界だと750機種以上あるという。それすべてで動作するアプリを開発するなんて事実上無理。1台5万円としても開発者にとっては大変な出費になる。 ご自身がプログラマーの久納孝治さんはこの問題を解決するために、ネットを通じたAndroidレンタルサービス「クラウド・スマホ・レンタル」を考案。サーバーにUSB経由でつながった実機を久納さんのほうで用意し、ユーザーであるプログラマーはその実機をリモートデスクトップのように遠隔操作することができるという。またGoogleが提供している開発ツールを使ってのデバックに加え、ウェブサイトの検証においてもウェブインスペクター機能でデバックが可能。 利用料金は現在検討中だが、30分500円くらいで考えているという。 エミュレータを使って開発するのと違って実機の遠隔操作なので、機種依存問題などを実際
[読了時間:2分] ソーシャルメディアウィークの一貫としてTechWave副編集長のマスキンが手がける「アプリ博」が渋谷のGMOインターネットさんで開催された(ていうか今まだ開催中)。その中でざっと見て面白そうなのがあったので速報します。 そのアプリの名前はU-NOTE。大学生向けソーシャルノートサービス。 僕が見せてもらったのはウェブ版で、FacebookのIDを使ってログインすると同じ授業を受けている人とリアルタイムでノートをシェアできる、というサービス。具体的には、200字ぐらいでメモをとったものが、このサービス上の友人のタイムラインに次々と表示され、自分のメモよりもいいものがあればコピーして自分のノートにペーストできる、というシンプルなもの。でもこのシンプルさがとてもいいと思う。 文書の共有はGoogleドキュメントなんかでもできるのだけど、共有する人が数人以上になるとタイミング的

[読了時間:1分] iPhone4Sの目玉機能である音声認識Siriはいまだに日本語に対応していないが、まもなく対応するかもしれない。その根拠はSiriに対して「どの言語をしゃべれるの?」と英語で聞くと「I can speak Japanese」と答えるようになっているから。Appleからの正式発表はまだないが、近く日本語対応の可能性は確かにありそうだ。 Apple製品関連の専門ブログ米9To5MacのライターがSiriに対し「What Language do you speak?」とたずねたところ「I can speak French, English, Japanese, and German…but I’m always learning.」と答えたという。 Apple自体もSiriのFAQページで2012年にSiriが日本語対応することを明らかにしている。 In 2012, Sir
Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) has once again cut prices on its iAd system for rich in-app advertising on iOS applications, according to a report, as ad buyers continue to balk at the up-front cost of participating in Apple’s vision of how mobile advertising should work.

There’s an interesting phenomenon occurring in startup land, with a number of companies emerging that are all seeking to build businesses with recurring revenue streams based on serving up monthly packages of food, beauty, clothing and other products.

A year ago, Fab.com pivoted toward its present model as a design flash sales site, and it’s been a stunning success, with 2 million members since launching eight months ago and a Crunchie award for best shopping app. But CEO Jason Goldberg envisions a much bigger future beyond flash sales for Fab.com as an Amazon-sized (s amzn) destination for design goods.

Global tablet sales in 2015 will exceed the number of PCs currently sold per year (~360 million) and make tablets a $100+ billion market.

The growth will be driven by falling prices combined with tablet penetration in the enterprise and education ma
