Matterhorn is a free, open-source platform to support the management of educational audio and video content. Institutions will use Matterhorn to produce lecture recordings, manage existing video, serve designated distribution channels, and provide user interfaces to engage students with educational videos. The first release, Matterhorn 1.0, includes the following features:

* Administrative tools for scheduling automated recordings, manually uploading files, and managing metadata, captioning and processing functions
* Recommended capture agent hardware specifications
* Integration with recording devices in the classroom for managing automated capture
* Processing and encoding services that prepare and package the media files according to configurable specifications
* Distribution to local streaming and download servers and configuration capability for distribution to channels such as YouTube, iTunes or a campus course or content management system
* Rich media user interface for learners to engage with content, including slide preview, content-based search and captioning

Matterhorn is also a framework of media services. It is therefore highly configurable to meet individual institutional needs.

Counting only things that are printed and bound, we arrive at about 146 million. This is our best answer today. It will change as we get more data and become more adept at interpreting what we already have.

Historypin is a online tool that acts as a digital time machine, allowing people to view and share history in a totally new way.

Using Google Maps and Street View technology, Historypin aims to become the largest user-generated archive of the world’s historical images and stories.

The site invites the public to dig out, upload and pin their own old photos, as well as the stories behind them, onto the Historypin map. Uniquely, Historypin allows users to layer their old images onto modern Street View scenes, revealing a series of windows into the past.

Historypin is a global project. It was launched in London in June 2010 and in the next few years there will be events and projects held all over the world over.

BookLiberator is a set of free software and hardware to digitize books: it lets you photograph all the pages in a book without harming the book. The resulting images can be processed with free, open source software to make user-friendly files in a variety of formats.

Editor's note: Many friends after seeing my video "Tarantino vs Coen Brothers" requested me to do a new video duel of directors, so I decided to do now a tribute to my two favorite directors, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese, were 25 days re-watching 34 films, selected more than 500 scenes, and a hard work editing.

User-space file systems have some distinct advantages. The first one is that they don’t reside in the kernel, naturally, so it’s fairly easy to distribute your code. [...] The second advantage is that if there is an enhancement or a bug fix, you can quickly update the file system (no waiting for a couple of kernel revisions). [...] A third advantage is that if the file system crashes for some reason, it doesn’t necessarily take down the entire OS.

Wireless has become a part of our official and personal lives. Securing against wireless threats has been and will continue to be an important piece in the overall enterprise security puzzle. However, as if following Darwin's theory of evolution, wireless security myths too are born, evolve and then die to be replaced by new ones.

Myth 1: My enterprise is secure if we do not have a Wi-Fi deployment.
Myth 2: I use WPA2 in my network and I am secure.
Myth 3: I have enabled 802.1X port control and I am secure.
Myth 4: My network access control (NAC) solution will protect me from Wi-Fi based threats.
Myth 5: 802.11w eliminates Wi-Fi denizl-of-service (DoS) mattacks. [sic]
Myth 6: Part-time security.

Over the years there have been a number of connectors developed to enable Apache httpd to communicate with Tomcat that have used a variety of protocols. When searching the web for information on how to do this, it isn't unusual to stumble across some really bad, out of date advice. So first of all the only options you should consider for this are:

* mod_jk
* mod_proxy_http
* mod_proxy_ajp

All of the other other options have not been supported for a number of years so you should avoid mod_jk2, mod_jserv, mod_webapp and any other module that isn't discussed here.

Summary
Cesare Pautasso presents a pattern-based design methodology used to build RESTful services, which is accompanied by an example used to draw a number of patterns: Uniform Contract, Entity Endpoint, Content Negotiation, Endpoint Redirection, Idempotent Capability. Pautasso also mentions a couple of anti-patterns: tunneling everything through HTTP/GET and HTTP/POST.
