YouTube includes a number of simple production tools to help filmmakers improve their projects, but today it's launching one that could be huge for the low- or no-budget shooter: a library of completely free music that can be used in any video — even ones that don't end up on YouTube.

Oracle may have been known as a thin client advocate at one point but it's even better known for thick management.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft is revealing its latest research project today, a way to use Kinect for gesture-based navigation with Windows. While the company has long supported Kinect for Windows, it hasn't really provided a way for Windows users to navigate using Kinect. A new research project aims to solve that by mounting a Kinect camera above a desk that detects a number of gestures above and around a keyboard and mouse. Brings new meaning to the term "three fingered salute"

To give people a better Firefox experience, we’re changing the way plugins work. Earlier this year we talked about our plan for putting users in control of their plugins. We are now seeing these plans take shape in the latest version of Firefox Aurora. To give people more control over their browser, Firefox will no longer activate most plugins by default. When a site tries to use a plugin, the user will be able to choose whether to enable the plugin on that site. And now Firefox is also unplugging

Analyze Github commits to know which convention is popular. Spaces or tabs? I know: stupid question. Everyone knows the right way.

I'm surprised they don't have a mixed tabs/spaces option for Java since Eclipse revels in vomiting that into any file I edit.
