Researchers honor Swartz's memory with PDF protest | Internet & Media In a tribute to Aaron Swartz, the Internet activist who committed suicide Friday, researchers have begun posting PDFs to Twitter to honor his campaign for open access. Swartz, 26, had faced the possibility of $4 million in fines and more than 50 years in prison for allegedly stealing 4 million documents from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Jstor, an archive of scientific journals and academic papers. The authorities claimed that he broke into a restricted-access computer wiring closet at MIT and accessed that network without authorization. The PDF campaign was born out of a desire to honor Swartz's memory and his battle for open access to documents on the Internet, said Micah Allen, a researcher in the fields of brain plasticity, cognitive neuroscience, and cognitive science. "A fitting tribute to Aaron might be a mass protest uploading of copyright-protected research articles," Allen wrote yesterday on Reddit. I caved & got a TweetReach report for #pdftribute.

CRAPPY TAXIDERMY Los libros digitales en la educación escolar Desde que el hombre inventó la escritura como código compartido para comunicar ideas y pensamientos y, comenzó a agruparlos en lo que más adelante se conocerían como libros, se inicio para la comunicación humana un gran proceso transformador. Los libros, a lo largo del tiempo, han experimentado cuatro grandes cambios. El primero de ellos, ocurrió en el siglo III aC. cuando se pasó de escribir en tablillas de arcilla a hacerlo en rollos de papiro. El tercer cambio ocurrió a mediados del siglo XV cuando Johan Gensfleisch zum Gutenberg, en Maguncia, Alemania, puso a funcionar su imprenta de tipos móviles. El Kindle del siglo XVI Agostino Ramelli: Le diverse et artificiose machine. Debieron pasar algo más de quinientos años para que se diera el cuarto eslabón en la cadena evolutiva del libro. 1. m.

Researchers begin posting article PDFs to twitter in #pdftribute to Aaron Swartz « Neuroconscience Yesterday, as I was completing my morning coffee and internet ritual, @le_feufollet broke the sad news to me of Aaron Swartz’s death. Aaron was a leader online, a brilliant coder and developer, and sadly a casualty in the fight for freedom of information. He was essential in the development of two tools I use every day (RSS and Reddit), and though his guerilla attempt to upload all papers on JSTOR was perhaps unstrategic, it was certainly noble enough in cause. Before his death Aaron was facing nearly 35 years in prison for his role in the JSTOR debacle, an insane penalty for attempting to share information. We don’t know why Aaron chose to take his life, but when @la_feufollet and I tried to brainstorm a tribute to him, my first thought was a guerilla PDF uploading campaign in honor of his fight for open access. I’m not much of an organizer, so I posted in one of the many rising reddit threads and hoped for the best: Otherwise, hide in the swarm today as a show of support for Aaron.
