Live-streaming platform Justin.tv now supports high-resolution videos using H.264 encoding. The codec, which has made headway in consumer electronics, is also a great format for the Web since it can fit high resolutions in relatively small file sizes--making it ideal for something like streaming. For now there are a few caveats that keep it from being accessible to the average user. For one, videos streamed in high resolution H.264 will not be saved into user archives, and there is no way to do it without using special software to process the stream before it hits Justin.tv's servers. Users are encouraged to be running a rig with a fast processor and modern graphics card, as it takes some considerable horsepower to crunch down video in real time. Eventually the company hopes to offer such processing power on its own servers, so that you'll be able to get similar results with any commodity high-resolution Webcam and a good connection.

Welcome to the home of Jx, a javascript library for creating graphical user interaces based on the fabulous MooTools library.

We've tried to provide a complete set of documentation and examples but there are surely some areas that are lacking.

"A world organized around centralized control. strict intellectual property rights, and hierarchies of credentialed experts is under siege. A radically different order of society based on open access, decentralized creativity, collaborative intelligence, and cheap and easy sharing is ascendant."

Although the Internet is already a valuable information resource in medicine, there are important challenges to be faced before physicians and general users will have extensive access to this information. As a result of a research effort to compile a health-related Internet directory, new tools and strategies have been developed to solve key problems derived from the explosive growth of medical information on the Net and the great concern over the quality of such critical information. The current Internet search engines lack some important capabilities. We suggest using second generation tools (client-side based) able to deal with large quantities of data and to increase the usability of the records recovered. [...] The evaluation of the quality of health information available on the Internet could require a large amount of human effort. A possible solution may be to use quantitative indicators based on the hypertext visibility of the Web sites. The cybermetric measures are valid for quality evaluation if they are derived from indirect peer review by experts with Web pages citing the site. The hypertext links acting as citations need to be extracted from a controlled sample of quality super-sites.

hierin wordt beschreven hoe de kwaliteit van online resources wordt bepaald door de citaties, oftewel links, op sites van experts die de resource citeren (en dus naartoe linken). Dat is 1 manier om kwaliteit te beoordelen.

Mastering PLR simulcast with Doug Champigny, The PLR Master was quite well received but unfortunately we had more questions than we had time. Due to that limitation we had to stop the call and schedule follow up. What we didn't have time to discuss last Wednesday will be uncovered tonight! And only if you participate in live call you can access that info for free: The Mastering PLR Simulcast - Part Two Wednesday, September 3rd at 8:00pm Eastern

Certain vulnerabilities within Ajax applications can allow malicious hackers to reek havoc with your applications. Identity theft, unprotected access to sensitive information, browser crashes, defacement of Web applications, and Denial of Service attacks are just a few of the potential disasters Ajax applications can be prone to and which developers need to guard against when building Ajax capabilities into their applications. Regular developerWorks author Judith Myerson suggests some application-strengthening tools, including Firefox tools and add-ons, which you can use to improve or solve security problems within your Ajax applications.

I am very excited about this 2007 project. This could save ordinary computer users a lot of money, and give those without much resources access to a lot of database power. Data is still complicated, and some people will still reach a limit where they need an expert in wrangling tables. I am very worried about the privacy and data security issues - how many club membership databases will end up on the web as a result of this?

Unlike the slow moving behemoths of old, start-ups have the ability to rapidly change direction and adapt to newly minted consumer demands. Young companies now have access to a plethora of new tools that utilize the internet to minimize costs and maximize efficiency.

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.

With increasing dependency on the Internet and computer, an average user needs to access technical support at least five times a year. And calling a technician every time robs you of thousand dollars. Continuing the same, most people end up with spending more on repairs than what they have bought their PC for.
