<br>
The MIT Media Lab was founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte in 1985. It has been widely popularized since then, by its research projects at the convergence of design, multimedia and emerging technologies.<br>
<br>
Ito, as known as "Joi", is recognized as one of the world's leading thinkers and writers on innovation, global technology policy, and the role of the Internet in transforming society. He has been engaged in the global communication with key figures worldwide, from business to academic, and also devoting his efforts to various organizations including Creative Commons, Mozilla Foundation and WITNESS, an organization that empowers human rights defenders with the power of video.<br>
<br>
The media coverage valued their decision as resonating with its mission to foster a unique culture of learning by doing, developing technologies that empower people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all societies, to design and invent new possibilities for themselves and their communities.]]></content>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[The latest version of the free application &quot;ITmedia&quot; was released, the exclusive news reader for full-text articles provided by the IT information portal ITmedia (http://www.itmedia.co.jp/).It is the latest version of the iPhone application &quot;ITmedia&quot;, which has been developed by MediaProbe Inc. in collaboration with ITmedia Inc. Since the first launch in November 2008, it has been supported so widely that it has recorded over 280,000 downloads. Now this latest version is drastically redesigned and optimized for iPad.The whole new user interface for iPad will make use of its wide screen, five times as large as iPhone's, to improve the  overview presentation and readability, while dramatically enhancing its usability. Both in the portrait and landscape modes, your iPad will show you the articles in the most appropriate format.<br>
<br>
There is one more thing as to the functional enhancement; Now it supports Evernote features. Evernote is a popular Web-based application for the personal information reminder, which has been officially in service for Japanese users in March 2010. It is a multi-purpose tool that will help you to write a note on the article, save its URL, and so on.<br>
In combination with the Twitter features, they are expected to make this application more useful as an information management tool.<br>
<br>
MediaProbe Inc. is willing to provide creative solutions with iPad, which should promise even more possibilities than iPhone that has already realized innovative user experiences.]]></content>
