(In Swedish at least for the time being. To view the tweets in English I wrote during the conference, use this search) Jag var på Singularity Summit 2009 i helgen som gick, och skiften.se publicerade mina någorlunda hastigt nedskrivna tankar om det efteråt.

Spotify, seen by many as the music service Napster should’ve been and thus would have saved us from the last 10 years of evil piracy, has a darker side to it as well. To understand, let’s do some history: First, one of the suggestions from the media industry on how to "solve the piracy problem" (that still hasn’t...

While I’m sure I’m going to cross post some of the things I write about, the more mobile related posts will appear at Sony Ericsson blogs instead of here. I’ve kicked off with a post on It’s not about smartphones - on how some of the new devices on the market differ in their actual usage from what we’ve seen before...

A pretty informal study made the global headlines a week back about how 40% of everything posted to Twitter amounts to just "pointless babble". That conclusion is seriously flawed, and likely stems from a misunderstanding on how humans communicate. Our consciousness has very low bandwidth. Exactly how low is hard to...

Here is the text broken up into paragraphs: In our daily exposure to science, we’ve been told that there exists a quality metric that allows us to distinguish between "bad science" and "good science". Peer review; the concept of scientific works being sent to certain publications, where editors then asks other...

I have a problem. While the culture of giving something extra for good service, tipping, varies greatly between countries, I’ve so far found no solution to the problem of being given bad service. It doesn’t matter if the local culture practically mandates a tip or if it’s just considered to be something you do when...

Jag röstade pirat i EU-parlamentsvalet 7e juni 2009 Nyckeln till att kunna rösta pirat även i riksdagsvalet 2010, och i nästa EU-parlamentsval, ligger i att kunna förklara det skifte som redan har inträffat inom politiken både för våra egna väljare och för media (blogsfären såväl som di gamle). Skiftet jag pratar om...

_Speed of information - or - don’t kill my Intarnetz! Browsing through news that’s relevant for me, through the excellent Google Reader, it’s becoming increasingly common to see audio and video links show up. I realise why there’s an interest from the publisher of the information to create a stronger emotional bond,...

I’m currently paying a group of people to further a political agenda I find important I’m currently paying someone to continue digging into the facts behind important political decisions I’m currently paying the initiator of a cause to continue exposing myths that otherwise might be used as support in creating an...

If you belong to generation X, this might apply to you. If you belong to generation Y or the mythical Z, it most certainly does. The question is, are we already seeing the effects without even knowing it, and what would be the cause? "This", of course, being the likelyhood of advancements in science (biological &...

A few days ago I bought my second Playstation 3. Mostly for use as a media centre, but of course with the intent of using it for gaming as well. It’s nice having more than one room playstation-enabled. However, even though I must be considered a sucker^H^H^H^H^Hgood loyal customer, I feel somewhat punished. Sony...

…is this diagram. It’s from [probably the best climate blog](http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/more-signs-of-the-sun-slowing-down/ "probably the best climate blog") I’ve ever read, and while there’s no question of the author’s own opinions it’s very well researched throughout. [While I’ve...
