Latitude is a new feature for Google Maps on your mobile device. It's also an iGoogle gadget on your computer. Once you've opted in to Latitude, you can see the approximate location of your friends and loved ones who have decided to share their location with you. So now you can do things like see if your spouse is stuck in traffic on the way home from work, notice that a buddy is in town for the weekend, or take comfort in knowing that a loved one's flight landed safely, despite bad weather.

1) the geographical non-specificity of architecture these days as people live their lives in constant connection with people in remote spaces

2) a desire to open up the production process of “smart homes” in reaction to current trends for placing the design and construction process solely in the hands of knowledgeable others.

3) an emphasis on contextually specific “environments” rather than object-centric “sensors”

absolutely fabulous tool to imbue meaning to error messages. Thanks to Maya's "interpersonal errors" :-)

Nice Likert scale labels designed for attitude capture - the words are linear and in the same scale making for a better (more reliable) response. Of course my personal take on Likerts is that they pretty much never allow me to express my true feelings.
