Minidetector is a Django reusable app that allows you to know if a request is being viewed on a mobile device. It provides a middleware and a view decorator that sets a request.mobile variable to True if the request is coming from a mobile device. It's method of figuring out if a device is mobile is simple; It first checks for a special Opera Mini header, then for WAP support, then finally checks the User Agent against a list of known mobile strings.
An Android app to keep hold of your collections. Not only of collectibles but also of more plain day-to-day items, such as a "wardrobe" of clothes. Each collection has some special functions to handle its items.
Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.
Raindrop is an effort that starts by trying to understand today’s web of conversations, and aims to design an interface that helps people get a handle on their digital world. At the same time, it creates a programming interface (API) that helps designers and developers extend our work and create new systems on top of that data. We aren’t trying to invent new protocols or build new messaging systems, rather focusing on building a product that lets users get a handle on the systems we already use.
OpenHandle is an open-source community project to expose Handle Values in common text-based serializations to make the data stored within the records more accessible to Web applications. OpenHandle is not a replacement for the Handle System, but rather an alternate means to access Handle.
Review Board is a powerful web-based code review tool that offers developers an easy way to handle code reviews. It scales well from small projects to large companies and offers a variety of tools to take much of the stress and time out of the code review process.
With the Typekit service now you can embbed fonts with a few clicks using simple CSS mark-up, without having to handle any font file.
I tested it a bit, and it seems that what's implemented in that tool bears very little relation to RDFa. It's not simply a buggy implementation - it's not even attempting to handle RDFa remotely correctly.
Comme d'habitude, Google et ses milliers de docteurs en sciences est infichu d'appliquer un standard, si minime soit-il, du premier coup. Il faut dire que les docteurs en sciences chez Google sont tous dans les département "datamining" et "publicité". A la programmation, ils n'ont laissé que les prag-ma-ti-ques.

In this paper, we present VirtualThumb, a set of software-based conceptual techniques that enables a user to handle multi-touch operations under the limited physical resources available”
On taking over the world, and other things…
It’s been a month of milestones for Tumblr, and we thought it would be a good time to stop and say: Thank you to everyone for making this possible.
We can still remember watching your new posts come in one-by-one the day we launched. Now we’re waiting for five new servers to arrive to help us handle the 330 million (that’s 0.3 billion!!) hits and 20 million new posts we’re projecting for August.
More than anything, you continue to blow us away with the amazing things you do with Tumblr.
As our team gets bigger (we’re up to 9 people!), we promise we’re as committed as ever to making Tumblr the greatest place for everyone in the world to share the stuff they love and create.
We love you
command line parsing done right
Finaloption is a command line parser, intended to make writing command line applications easy and painless. It uses built-in Python types (lists, dictionaries, etc) to define options, which makes configuration clear and concise. Additionally it contains possibility to handle subcommands (i.e. hg commit or svn update).
allow you to test how your website can handle various blasts of traffic. The results with sites hosted at WpWebHost are excellent.
Designing websites is a quite complex job, with many design elements to handle for great results. Hopefuly the web is now full of generators that make your job much easier, here are 12 of them.
Sparrow is a library that provides a high-level API for RDF Databases. Any database the provides support for SPARQL Queries and has a triplestore that can handle contexts can be used as a backend.
The goal of Sparrow is to make sure all these different backends act the same, making it possible to change RDF Database backends without having to change your code.

Color-Structured Image Search
Jingdong Wang, Xian-Sheng Hua, and Yinghai Zhao
6 July 2009
In this paper, we propose a novel interactive image ranking technique, color-structured image search, by exploiting color spatial relation information, and demonstrate it in image research results refinement. This technique enables users to draw a few color strokes, called target color structure, to indicate the intent. Beyond the conventional image retrieval methods based on query by image content that simply view the target color structure as an image and compute the similarity merely according to the spatial correspondence criterion, the proposed method represents the target color structure using a set of spatially relational colors, and evaluates the similarities between target color structure and image color structure by exploiting their spatial correspondence information, and an extra novel criterion, the consistency of spatial relation of colors implied in target color structure, and even offering a scheme to handle the uncertainty of target color structure. This similarity evaluation process can be accomplished efficiently. Moreover, a convenient interactive interface is presented to allow users to specify target color structure flexibly. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
un peu trop communiqué de presse, mais des idées à retenirRDF is a data standard that is both expressive enough to represent any type of data that’s connected to the server and also flexible enough to handle new data sources incrementally. URIs provide a foundation for minting identifiers that don’t clash unexpectedly as new data sources are brought into the fold. Named graphs give us a simple abstraction upon which we can engineer practical concerns like security, audit trails, offline access, real-time updates, and caching.
SpiderOak offers a different approach to online backup by combining a suite of services into one consolidated tool - free online backup, synchronization, sharing, remote access, and storage. This difference is further measured in our zero-knowledge privacy policy - the first one ever employed in this setting. Our flexible design allows you to handle data from any operating system (Mac, Windows and Linux) or location (external drives, network volumes, USB keys, etc...) using just one centralized account.
The Google Data APIs provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web. These REST-style APIs are based on the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub), using the standard Atom syndication format to represent data and HTTP to handle communication. The Google Data API protocol also extends AtomPub for processing queries, authentication, batch requests, and providing alternate output formats (JSON, RSS). Many Google services support the Google Data API protocol
The PG5 is the "new and improved" version of the older B6. The lamp housing is easier to handle and the positioning frame for screens offers a more secure fit, preventing screens from bending or slipping. It is also slightly more compact and decidedly more colorful!

We’ve been working with foundries to develop a consistent web-only font linking license. We’ve built a technology platform that lets us to host both free and commercial fonts in a way that is incredibly fast, smoothes out differences in how browsers handle type, and offers the level of protection that type designers need without resorting to annoying and ineffective DRM. As a Typekit user, you’ll have access to our library of high-quality fonts. Just add a line of JavaScript to your markup, tell us what fonts you want to use, and then craft your pages the way you always have. Except now you’ll be able to use real fonts. This really is going to change web design. We’ll be launching this summer with a great collection of beautiful and hardworking typefaces. We’ll offer a free version of the service to get you started, and a low-cost way to grow from there. A truly scalable professional version will follow soon after.
