NotesMetta Spencer, a sociologist whose online broadcasts regularly feature world leaders in the fields of peace, climate change, pandemics, famine and, ironically, cyber risks said she spent weeks trying to convince YouTube Canada that the porn clips were the result of a hacking attack, without success.

NotesThe Physical Web is an approach to unleash the core superpower of the web: interaction on demand. People should be able to walk up to any smart device - a vending machine, a poster, a toy, a bus stop, a rental car - and not have to download an app first. Everything should be just a tap away.Unfurl

NotesWhen developers build software, it routinely includes modules that run on a Web server, other modules that run in the browser, and others that run as native mobile apps. Both developers and the people who use their software typically think of all these modules as part of a single app.

NotesIt might appear like gloom and doom (actually, if it doesn't, you're not looking), but really it's a massive opportunity. Again, anyone who uses a news reader can't imagine having to live without one, yet I see the feed ecosystem slowly deteriorating with no replacement in sight. That's the opportunity, in my mind. It's not about simply mimicking Google Reader (which I would never do anyways, as I've never liked it), but about bootstrapping off the system we have today, in order to create a new type of news reader for tomorrow. The future of news readers, so to speak. ;-)FeedUnfurl
NotesThe ironic thing is that Cesar Chavez was a Christian activist, basing his civil rights rallies upon Jesusâ example of achieving social justice through non-violence, and as such, is an iconic hero to Mexican Americans.

NotesNow, weâll be forced to fill the hole that Reader will leave behind, and thereâs no immediately obvious alternative. Weâre finally likely to see substantial innovation and competition in RSS desktop apps and sync platforms for the first time in almost a decade.FeedUnfurl

NotesWeâve all got used to being able to control how the major search engines index our sites using a combination of robots.txt and the robots meta tag to add attributes like ânoindexâ to individual pages. While this works great for the pages themselves, itâs not so good for non-HTML, indexable content such as PDFs or embedded media, as we have no HTML <meta> tag in which to insert the meta-information. In this article we take a look at a potential solution to this problem: the X-Robots-Tag HTTP Header.Unfurl
NotesYou see, for a long time weâve chanted this refrain wherever we could: If youâre not paying for it, youâre not the customer; youâre the product being sold. We point to Facebook and Delicious and ad-supported sites and lament the fact that weâre all just a set of eyeballs being sold to advertisers. So we came up with a solution. We decided that we donât want to be free users any more. We decided that we want to pay independent developers directly so that they can have sustainable businesses and happy lives.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesGoogle Chrome for iPhone and iPad is here. But as you all know by now, it is not the complete Chrome experience on iOS. There are many compromises (platform limitations, as Google calls it) that Google had to make to bring Chrome to iOS. Letâs take a look at 7 of them.Unfurl
NotesFirst of all, we understand that this will be frustrating to extension developers, and our decision wasn't made lightly. We went to a lot of effort in the design of the extension system to make it possible for people to self-host. All of the formats and protocols involved in the extension system were made simple with the idea that developers could re-implement them. It makes us sad to take off-store install away.Unfurl
NotesGoogle's undocumented favicon to png convertor (via) Showing the favicon of a domain next to a link is a really nice trick, but itâs slightly tricky to achieve as IE wonât display a .ico file if you link to it from an img element, so you need to convert the images server-side. This undocumented Google API does that for you, meaning itâs much easier to add favicons as a feature to your site. FeedUnfurl
NotesFirst off, my intention is not to fight you on this. You have more cars than I have dollars, and so I know I donât stand a chance legally, and on top of that, I donât really understand how legal stuff works.

NotesBut Judge Alsup wasnât convinced. He told the court he had learned to code in Java for the trial â implying that he knew other languages as well â and he said that he had written some of the infringing code at least a hundred times since Oracle filed its suit in August 2010. âI can do it. You can do it. Itâs so simple,â he said, adding that it takes less than five minutes. Then looked directly at Boies. âYouâre one of the best lawyers in America â how can you make that argument?â he demanded.Unfurl
NotesThe last couple of days, there's been a fair amount of blogosphere angst over Coding Horror's "Please Don't Learn to Code." Ironically, the best argument for learning to code appeared this morning, when it turned out that Judge William Alsup in the Google case could program, and learned Java in the course of the trial, and wasn't going for Oracle's claim that a short range-checking function was days of work. Alsup recognized immediately (and says he wrote the function hundreds of times during the course of the trial) that it's just a few minutes work for a competent programmer.FeedUnfurl

NotesThe Google Authenticator project includes implementations of one-time passcode generators for several mobile platforms, as well as a pluggable authentication module (PAM). One-time passcodes are generated using open standards developed by the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH) (which is unrelated to OAuth). Unfurl
NotesAt this point, Google would be better off focusing its attention on Android. With some tweaking, Android could power the same devices as ChromeOS, with more native functionality. Someday we may be ready for a browser-based OS, but we're not quite there yet. Unfurl
NotesMaybe even more interesting than the change in dates is the fact that Tran also hinted at a new application process for I/O. The last event famously sold out in less than an hour. This time around, it looks like developers will have to compete for spots at I/O. Tran tells potential attendees to use the two extra months to âbrush up on [their] coding skills,â as this will âcome in handy when the new application process opens in February.âFeedUnfurl
NotesIf Google wants to win the hearts and minds of these developers, it has to get more systematic and clear about roadmaps, has to be more circumspect about changing things without notice, and be precise about how apps that run on Google infrastructure now will or wonât run on other infrastructure in the future. The problem is, itâs not all that clear that Google itself is serious about this market. And if it isnât, why should anyone else take the plunge?Unfurl
NotesThe reason that Incognito is such a great feature for Google to build is that over time it will reduce the cookie deletion rate of web browsers.Unfurl
NotesAnd though many point to the similarities between Plus and Facebook â and the similarities have only grown with the addition of branded pages â the addition of Pages may be more of a challenge to Twitter. While a certain portion of the population is accustomed to information in 140 character bites, Google+ provides a richer forum where companies can release news to the public.Unfurl
NotesTwo weeks ago, Google disabled the + operator for searches, requiring quotation marks to force inclusion of a word.
Today, Google Plus rolled out a new feature - Pages for companies and brands, so you can "build relationships with all the things you care about". Included is Direct Connect - go straight to Pepsi's Google+ page by searching for +Pepsi.FeedUnfurl

Notes<blockquote>The shareable social object of subscribe-able items makes Readerâs network unique and the answer to why change is painful for many of its users is because no obvious alternative network exists with exactly that object. The social object of Google+ isâŚnearly anything and its diffuse model is harder to evaluate or appreciate. The value of a social network seems to map proportionally to the perceived value of its main object. (Examples: sharing best-of-web links on Metafilter or sharing hi-res photos on Flickr or sharing video art on Vimeo or sharing statuses on Twitter/Facebook or sharing questions on Quora.) If you want a community with stronger ties, provide more definition to your social object.</blockquote>FeedUnfurl

NotesOkay, so itâs not exactly Occupy Wall Street, and the cause isnât quite so dire as the recklessness of investment bankers gone wild or the government bailouts, but Google Reader is being cut off at the knees, and a number of its die-hard fans (including a few I know from Google Reader) have taken to the street to protest.FeedUnfurl

Notes One of the fascinating things about Google Reader is how each group of sharebros/Reader Partiers/Gooderioon came up with their own culture within the system, in parallel of and isolation from one another, but fundamentally similar in intent and function.Unfurl
