Officials in New York have determined that Airbnb is illegal, despite efforts by the online firm to persuade the city otherwise. The law violated is the illegal hotel law, which prevents residents from renting out their property for less than 29 days. According to CNET, the law originally meant to prevent landlords from turning residential properties into hotels.
The ruling doesn’t necessarily mean all Airbnb hosts will be cracked down on, as the city only enforces the rule when a complaint is filed.

Vimeo is really paying off today. Awesome video about the Internet Archive, which is now actually a building you can visit! Interesting issues with archiving and keeping historical versions of the web accessible.

This Google Glass tutorial video gives a sense of what a user sees and how they use Glass for more in-depth browsing and navigating the interface. After all the videos I’d seen, I didn’t realize the important role that the touchpad plays.

Blogger Who Quit The Internet For A Year Had A Horrible Time

parislemon:

Yours truly, a year ago writing about Paul Miller’s decision to “quit” the internet for a year:

In my month away from email, I didn’t miss it at all. Not for one second. Unfortunately, it’s a necessary evil of the modern world. But the internet is different. My guess is that in his year away, Miller will come to realize more and more that the internet is nothing if not one of the greatest achievements in human history.

It’s going to be a hell of a lot harder to live life without it.

I’m sure there will be a killer book deal on the other side though!

A year later, Miller’s own proposed titles for such a book:

No Internet, No Life: The Paul Miller Story

How To Disconnect From Reality In 365 Days

At First I Liked Not Using The Internet But Then It Got Kind Of Sucky

Does this mean that everyone who threatens to quit the internet now has to shut up? Please?

Quitters never win…
