The first and only book (Digital Video Concepts, Methods, and Metrics) I tried after reading your comment worked, for what it's worth.

I tried two of the books on 'Differential Geometry' books, and both failed.
Maybe it is country-specific - IP addresses from my country India are taken to a 'Buy this Book' page

Ho hum.
Glad I got a wriggle-on due to your earlier comment and did get a book I'm interested in. Thanks.

You'd normally expect antivirus software to improve your web browser's security, but just the opposite was true for AVG until today. You had one job...

Credit card users could have their PINs stolen, and merchants could have their bank accounts pillaged, in a set of attacks demonstrated by researchers Karsten Nohl and Fabian Bräunlein at the Chaos Computing Club security conference. That's it. I'm going back to the barter system

If you want more evidence that software patents are insane, surely you can't, then look no further than the Microsoft slider patent and its lawsuit with Corel for infringing it. Wait until they start enforcing their patent on blue screens

Adobe and MIT are teaming up to try to address the problem of code rot, and remove from the life of the coder the arduous and time-consuming task of manually updating old code for new technological capabilities. Maybe they can run it on the Flash code base?
(( Yeah, reported first in July. It's slow news week. Plus, now Adobe is involved. ))
