XHR is basically asynchronous HTTP, and [...] simple tasks rapidly become complex. As opposed to XMLHttpRequest, Web Sockets provide a real bidirectional communication channel in your browser.

A tangle of utility in both architecture and typography offers a fascinatingly structured title sequence for the BBC’s “How We Built Britain” that bespeaks an acquisitive England. The artificial monuments of type seem proportionally sound, the final title card an achievement of engineering.
Originally designed for the Canon 5D Mark II, Beachtek's DXA-5D two-channel XLR adapter lets you input professional-quality audio into your digital SLR when shooting video. Mounted beneath your camera or on a tripod, the DXA-5D plugs into the 3.5" mic jack on such cameras as the 5D Nikon D300s and Panasonic DMC-GH1.
A tuner for college and community radio stations. The stations are from goodradio.org so should stay reasonably up to date. Touch the sides of the screen for next and previous channel. After some testing it seems that Widgets, since they must use Flash for streaming, aren't the most reliable way to stream radio. If you like this widget you might go to gizmoware.net/chumby for a version that runs off a thumbdrive and is much more reliable.
This imaginative and insightful approach got me thinking about a related problem I’ve been keen to address for some time: data entry. How can we use paper as a more effective channel for information flow during and after humanitarian emergencies?

PBS is a publicly funded American TV channel with an emphasis on science, the arts and history. Watch entire shows or browse their excellent, richly detailed sites.
Threading
We’re quite familiar with the idea of writing a program that follows a specific sequence of steps as outlined in, say, a main() function. A Thread is also a series of steps with a beginning, a middle, and an end. A thread’s sequence, however, can run independently of the main program. In fact, we can launch any number of threads at one time and they will all run concurrently. Visit the Java site for a more involved explanation.
This is incredibly useful when it comes to data mining, as we can have separate threads retrieving different pieces of information from the network. If one gets stuck or has an error, the entire program won’t grind to a halt, since the error only stops that individual thread. To create independent, asynchronous threads, we simply extend the Thread class.

We display your most recently tr.immed URLs here, or, if you login, all of your tr.im URLs since you signed up. tr.im supports three different bookmarklets: tr.im Creates a new tr.im URL for the website you are at, and open a page for you to quickly tweet it to Twitter, and then send you back again. tr.im NW Creates a new tr.im URL for ther website you are at, but it opens a new window, which you can then quickly close with a keyboard sequence if you prefer. No countdown, no waiting. twitter Of course, create a new tr.im URL too, but instead send you over to Twitter's website to send it out from there.
Slitscan imaging techniques are used to create static images of time-based phenomena. In traditional film photography, slit scan images are created by exposing film as it slides past a slit-shaped aperture. In the digital realm, thin slices are extracted from a sequence of video frames, and concatenated into a new image.

In addition to adjusting the volume you can also change the channel with a flick of the wrist. The wand has 13 gestures in total and you can programme these gestures to be anything most infrared remote controls do.
Now, having logs of the channel reaching many megabytes, I was curious as to the text statistics produced by this channel, who has what reading age, and how much they’ve talked in comparison to other people.
