You weren't hoping for backyard privacy anyway were you? Google Earth will soon show even higher resolution images. Check out this article for details on the deal.

Due to browsers' prohibition on cross domain XMLHTTP calls, all AJAX websites must have a server side proxy to fetch content from external domains like Flickr or Digg. From the client-side JavaScript code, an XMLHTTP call goes to the server-side proxy hosted on the same domain, and then the proxy downloads the content from the external server and sends back to the browser. In general, all AJAX websites on the Internet that are showing content from external domains are following this proxy approach, except for some rare ones who are using JSONP. Such a proxy gets a very large number of hits when a lot of components on the website are downloading content from external domains. So, it becomes a scalability issue when the proxy starts getting millions of hits. Moreover, a web page's overall load performance largely depends on the performance of the proxy as it delivers content to the page. In this article, we will take a look at how we can take a conventional AJAX Proxy and make it faster, asynchronous, continuously stream content, and thus make it more scalable.

An experimental matrix of Web 2.0 mashups.
Usage: Hover the cursor over any cell in the matrix. A small box gives details on mashups for that API combination. Top links in hover box bring you to that API's reference page. Links in body of hover box take you directly to the mashup. Not all combinations have mashups & only those with the 'º' indicator currently have entries. Cells at the intersection of same API (ex: Amazon+Amazon) list any other examples for that API.

Note that there are two views into the matrix: the default view shows only those APIs for which mashups have been added to the database. The second view shows all APIs regardless of whether there's currently a mashup registered. It's big. Definitions: What is a mashup anyway? As always, it's good to check Wikipedia's definition, but essentially a "mashup" is a web-based application built through (creative) combination of data from multiple sources. Often, but by no means always, this data is retrieved by using a vendor's API such as those listed here. (An API? Also at Wikipedia.) Some recent press may also help explain: BusinessWeek's "Mix, Match and Mutate", The Economist's "Mashing the Web". Background: This is an experiment. It is intended to be both a reference point and also a visualization. What you see here today will change both in content and form shortly. I am quite interested in seeing the 'space' in which mashups exist. Clearly, some APIs such as Google Maps, appear to be more widely used than others. UI Issues: Cross-browser support is good but not complete. Sometimes it can b

Very easy to use site to produce various online posters showing things you like. Aimed at kids but interface is very advanced and simple to use.

A/B testing in Wordpress can be tricky - here's a video tutorial that shows how to do it.

'The house that tweets' This 2 minute video interview with Andy Stanford-Clark is much more entertaining than the YouTube interview I bookmarked earlier. Lots of action shots of home telemetry, Andy's Java midlet on his phone, and what I think is a GNOME desktop showing his home's web interface.

Many people ask how other twitter users can have so many updates a day. Do they have nothing else to do, only tweeting. In my article"Combine twitter, friendfeed, twitterfeed and RSS" I described how to bring your blog or webpage articles automatically in twitter. Today I will show how to automatically retweet articles.

A great post on the beauty of a transparent business models. Don't make me talk to a sales guy, just show me the price!!!

This is the Airbag demo car. It is a small car model which presents all airbag sensor system used in modern safe cars.

Since last day/night Wolfram Alpha is alive. The big question about Wolfram Alpha was if this engine can outclass google. This morning I made my own first experiences with Wolfram Alpha. My first impression is that google and Wolfram Alpha are completely different. The following article will show my first attempts and the results.

ALT key, the key on a computer keyboard used to change the function other keys. I never thought of these wonders can be happen or done use the ALT keys. It's my pleasure to show what i read few min back about Special ALT Characters

We all know Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing. But here is the intresting part, we know a lot about Google and about their products and services, In the screenshot let me show you what according to some intresting Twitter users Google is all about.

This is Freescale's ultra low voltage dc-dc converter circuit and I'm going to show it operating charging Lithium ion battery from a solar cell. What I have here is the evaluation board with a circuit on it and this is the amount of voltage.

Ever wanted to display the number of posts your blog has achieved for your blog readers or perhaps just for yourself? Or, what about the number of posts in a specific category? If so, I'll show you a quick and easy way to do just that, and we'll style up the output with a bit of CSS Level 2.1 the standard way.

Some notes from a Mac OS X perspective: http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/public/2009/04/11/wuala.png for a screen shot of Wuala beta (133) on Mac OS X. http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/public/2009/04/11/wuala-nfs-finder.png for a Finder view of things; Wuala is presented as a volume. http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/public/2009/04/11/wuala-contextual.png shows a contextual menu for a PNG in Wuala. When I realised how well things are integrated, my jaw dropped. I was truly amazed. Uses of Java, NFS etc. seem to be excellent. I could wish for: * Wuala service to support extended attributes * the Wuala application to be more refined * an easier way to share/publish thumbnails of images - but these things are not show-stoppers. Summary: best in class! A winner!
