Nat Friedman Leaving Novell -- one of the original Ximian founders, with interests in many directions and the coding chops to make them real. He'll found another startup, topic as yet unknown, which will be one to watch. This and more in today's Four Short Links.

Opponents can shed their rhetoric and reveal new depths to their thought when you bring them together for rapid-fire exchanges, sometimes with their faces literally inches away from each other. That made it worth my while to truck down to the MIT Media Lab for yesterday's Workshop on Innovation, Investment and the Open Internet, sponsored by the Federal Communications Commission. The event showed that innovation and investment are not always companions on the Internet. An in-depth look at the current state of the debate over competition and network neutrality.

The network has been a key witness and participant in the event itself - within minutes, and I mean literally minutes, photos and news of the devastation were posted online. Simultaneously, calls for aid went out and philanthropic organizations began mobilizing the response. Again, within minutes, organizations were sending out information to first responders and aid workers to coordinate their efforts.

Google's decision to lift censorship on its Chinese search results, and perhaps
shutter operations in China altogether, initially looked like
straightforward action-reaction: you hack me, I'll retaliate. But
there's more going on here. Google's public
revelation was the first sign. Elevating the matter into a free
speech/human rights issue was the second. Here's a key sentence from Google's blog
post: We have taken the unusual step of sharing information
about these attacks with a broad audience...
Four Possible Explanations for Google's Big China Move (Ethan Zuckerman) -- I'm staying out of the public commentary on this one, but Ethan's fourth point was wonderfully thought provoking: a Google-backed anticensorship system (perhaps operated in conjunction with some of the smart activists and engineers who've targeted censorship in Iran and China?) would be massively more powerful (and threatening!) than the systems we know about today. It's deliciously provocative to ask what the world's strongest tech company could do if it wanted to be actively good, rather than merely "not evil".

In this tutorial we start to work with REST and Flex, are you asking what is and why use REST? REST is acronym for REpresentational State Transfer and it helps you to provide services to communicate with your database via XML but not only. With REST you can work in large web application until to small RIA, in fact is a scalable system that make all communication easier. Before starting with this tutorial you must download and configure your computer to work with Rails and Flex 4, instructions included. Follow along step by step to create an address book with REST and Flex.

Wesabe recently announced a a cool security trick called Grendel that can eliminate the most common kind of data breaches threatening identity theft (the kind that Albert Gonzalez perpetrated on TJX and other companies). Reading the description of Grendel, I realized it uses a simple idea independently discovered by security expert Peter Wayner, to be found in his chapter of O'Reilly's Beautiful Security and his own book Translucent Databases.
Telling Time with Open Realtime Data -- Sony Ericsson MBW-150 bluetooth watch, showing the next few SF Muni bus arrival times for a nearby stop. The code to fetch the arrival times is running on my Droid phone, and communicating with the watch using Marcel Dopita's OpenWatch software for the Android platform. This is a neat hack, and reminds us that every object on our person could be programmed. This and more in today's Four Short Links.

In the cloud computing era, just about every small/medium-sized business task has a cloud-based solution. There's simply no longer any need to own a server, and purchasing desktop software should be the exception and not the rule. I don't make this statement lightly -- I actually live it in my company, enStratus. I thought I'd share how we run our business on cloud services.
Tldr -- an application for navigating through large-scale online discussions. The application visualizes structures and patterns within ongoing conversations to let the user browse to content of most interest. In addition to visual overviews, it also incorporates features such as thread summarization, non-linear navigation, multi-dimensional filtering, and various other features that improve the experience of participating in large-discussions. This and more in today's Four Short Links.
