After my recent success with Plurkit, I decided to take the idea to the next level and add in more social sites. The outcome is SocialAddict which has 11
Nowadays many JavaScripters are aware of the advantages of event delegation. Chris Heilmann and Dan Webb, among others, have discussed its advantages, and I've been using it as much as possible for about two years now.
Event delegation is especially useful in effects like dropdown menus, where lots of events on links may take place that can easily be handled at the root level (an or in this case).

When taking the test, you should use the default settings of the browser you are testing. Changing the zoom level, minimum font size, applying a fit-to-width algorithm, or making other changes may alter the rendition of the test page without this constituting a failure in compliance.
The Acid3 test measures some performance characteristics. The test does not attempt to make any comparisons or judgments as to the performance of any hardware used, and should not be used as a hardware benchmark. If the test is run on a slow computer or device, it may run slowly or not smoothly and this does not imply non-conformance.
Social software brings groups together to discover and create value. The problem is, users only have so much time for social software. The vast majority of users with not have a high level of engagement with a given group, and most tend to be free riders upon community value. But patterns have emerged where low threshold participation amounts to collective intelligence and high engagement provides a different form of collaborative intelligence. To illustrate this, Ross Mayfield drafted the Power Law of Participation. Interesting. Onion model? Lurkers vs Posters?
Kaltura is an open source video platform, from its video codec to its back-end systems for uploading, hosting, embedding, syndicating, analyzing and inserting advertisements into videos.

Freescale offers complementary MQX RTOS suite for its ColdFire microcontroller with full source code. Although the software is deliveried in source code, it is highly recommended not touching source code in the component level. Freescale suggests designer using a user configuration file to configure the operation system in compile time.
Great view about Collective Unconscious in the 2.0 world
“Never before have we had such amazing ways of delivering information through television, books, photographs, graphics, computers, video, multimedia, and the internet. Yet so many children are bored and have become less and less motivated to learn about and understand the world around them,”
Jung’s collective unconscious is the dreamtime of Homo sapiens. ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’ is the dreamtime of late-era hypercapitalism. The energies that inform Jung’s collective unconscious are for the most part biological: instinctual drives of fear, hunger and sex (along with the drive for psychic wholeness). The energies that inform the ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’ are more abstract, related to the movement of electronic capital and the maximization of profit to shareholders.
“These modules seek to penetrate, but in a passing way. A second of your attention is all they ask. Nothing is firing that rends or cuts. It’s a massage, really, if you just go with it. And why not? Some of the most talented people on the planet have devoted their lives to creating this psychic sauna, just for you.” Ersatz environments and colourful advertisements have been with us since the fifties, de Zengotita adds, but the multimedia blitz we experience now represents a whole new level of persuasion. “Saying that it’s just more of what we had before is like saying a hurricane is just more breeze.”
Today’s mass dream, split from the organic foundation of the world and cobbled together from shards of television shows, newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, films, ad jingles, ringtones – the whole mad fantasy of what’s hip, what’s not, who’s in, who’s out and the international villain du jour – is the raw stuff of the ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’.
Mainstream media culture currently has all the signs of full-blown psychosis. This is analogous to Jung’s shadow. Confronting the shadow is unpleasant on a personal level, but healing cannot be effected without being confronted with the truth – and as folk wisdom has it, the truth hurts. What is positive about this process is that we’re being forced to confront the very worst in the imaginal output of our great, untethered, free market economy.
We are, ultimately, the stories we tell each other of our past, present and future. We become what we seek. It’s up to us to rule the imagination or leave it in the hands of a select few to shape the future of the mass dream. As Buckminster Fuller once said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
5% of users account for 75%
of all activity, and 10% of users account for 86%. This seems to
suggest that the site has managed to engage a mass audience beyond
those who typically engage with social media.
Half of all Twitter users are not "active."
his leaves about 30% of users who
have an account and have tweeted before, but happen to be inactive now.
Tuesday is the most active Twitter day
APIs have been the key to Twitter's growth & utility.
English still dominates Twitter
Twitter is being led by the social media geeks.
150 followers is the magic number. In a particularly
interesting data point from the survey, Sysomos found that Twitter
users tended to "follow back" all their followers up until about 150
connections. Then the reciprocation rate fell off dramatically, which
seems to indicate that this number may be the crossover point where
people shift from using Twitter for more personal use to using it more
for "lifecasting" their thoughts and actions to a community of people
who they feel varying levels of connection to.

Looking past these small points, the report does share some fairly interesting observations and stats as well if you dig a bit deeper. Here's my read on the 10 standout conclusions that the report offers to help you (and your brand) better understand the potential uses of Twitter
A firewall is a software application, located at a network gateway server. It offers a unique level of protection from nasty virus and virus infected programs that rely on unwanted incoming traffic aiming at attacking computers. It does so by blocking communications targeting to access your system without your permission.
Magnetic fields enable much of the technology that we take for granted today. Transportation systems such as the mach level train in China, power generation equipment such as wind power, hydro electric systems. In fact, magnetic fields affect almost every aspect of our daily lives and even in today's technology, and the technologies of tomorrow.
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is an integrated development environment (IDE) designed for building and debugging embedded applications for the ARM microprocessor. It includes a C/C++ compiler able to achieve a high level of optimization, thus generating a very compact and efficient FLASH/PROMable code.
Any tax scheme should reflect a nation's goal to increase productivity and to improve the lives of people of all income and social levels. As it is now, the U.S. tax system has too many inequities.
Software emulators have great value for the software developers who are focusing on high level application software. There are some popular open source emulators for embedded systems, like QEMU, ARMulator and Skyeye.
GNU Radio is an open source Software Defined Radio (SDR) project that was started about ten years ago by Eric Blossom, an electrical engineer. The main idea which is behind this project, as its founder says, was to turn all the hardware problems into software problems, that is move the complexity of a radio equipment from the hardware level to the software one, and get the software as close to the antenna as possible.

"The AS3Commons project is dedicated to one principal goal: creating and maintaining reusable ActionScript? 3.0 components. This is a place for collaboration and sharing, where developers from throughout the community can work together on projects to be shared.
AS3Commons developers will make an effort to ensure that their components have minimal dependencies on other libraries, so that these components can be deployed easily. In addition, AS3Commons components will keep their interfaces as stable as possible, so that users (including other AS3Commons projects) can implement these components without having to worry about changes in the future.
We welcome participation from all that are interested, at all skill levels. Coding, documentation and testing are all critical parts of the software development process. If you are interested in participating in any of these aspects, please join us! "
"The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. The protocol emerged from experiences implementing AtomPub clients and servers in a variety of products over the past several years. OData is being used to expose and access information from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, relational databases, file systems, content management systems and traditional Web sites.
OData is consistent with the way the Web works - it makes a deep commitment to URIs for resource identification and commits to an HTTP-based, uniform interface for interacting with those resources (just like the Web). This commitment to core Web principles allows OData to enable a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools.
OData is released under the Open Specification Promise to allow anyone to freely interoperate with OData implementations."
