Quickly to chew over, as picked by the technology team burst of 8 links for you

"For the first time as a public company, professional social network LinkedIn its second quarter results today reports." LinkedIn's revenue for the quarter came to $121 million, the what an increase of 120% compared to 54.9 million $ for the second quarter of 2010 is. Net revenues for the second quarter amounted to $4.5 million, compared to $ 4.3 million in the second quarter of 2010; Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter was $10.8 million compared to $ 6.4 million in the second quarter of 2010. The company blew away that Analayst estimates quarter. "Analysts expected a loss of 4 cents per share on 104.5 million $."

Monitor feeds, to determine whether tweets had disappeared. No longer: "Unfortunately Undetweetable was asked to shut down and we can no longer work without Twitter support." This project was to a discussion on privacy and digital identity to start, and thanks to the overwhelming response from users like you, hopefully, that we have achieved this goal. "At the moment, you can continue browsing Undetweetable, but we are deleted not more tweets to gather."

Simple, really. Find out how long it would take the average desktop computer to crack your password. Or if you are one of the most popular passwords (in this case it changes). No user name or E-mail made, so that it is safe.

"MegaPorn, MegaVideo, mega live, MegaPix and Megaupload are all Kim Schmitz: entrepreneur, father, former hacker, former street racer and former outlaw."
"Depending on whom you, all these sites and brands made by Schmitz--issues a known hacker in Germany, who is said to have officially changed his name to Kim Dotcom--are either part of the simple and successful Internet file storage-business, which he founded in the year 2005, or they are an extension of a huge online piracy Empire, some of the most visited video sites on the Web-right there along with YouTube and Hulu."

Oh, Kim Schmitz. Again.

About the (wonderful) Wayback Machine, the original Jim Cofer blog post, the yesterday's link led. Worth reading, because there you realize does, that inclusion of a clause is "Brown M & MS" in a big contract really very good idea. Keep it next time, you have something important to sort.

"As soon as Swartz was drilled, turned down... to pursue charges against him in fact, JSTOR JSTOR immediately a public statement so that they have no beef with Swartz." There are two obvious reasons why the Feds decided to prosecute anyway. The first is that the Feds at Swartz pissed off and only one chance waited to go after him.
"In 2008, Swartz, automatically use a free trial of PACER, a database with Government, court documents, sent a download of the nearly 20 million documents." This was in response to the call details for donations of downloaded PACER documents, the usually eight cents per page cost the activist Carl Malamud. Malamud's position is that because the public has these documents, access to them should be simple and free of charge online. In the event, not Swartz had broken any laws, so that the Feds were forced to delete its investigation. "Perhaps one was specific resentment."

Dan Frakes had the smart idea of creating a physical graph of capacity of thumb drives in his possession. Where is yours?

"-Sie have a MacBook or MacBook Air with Mac OS X lion?"-Ever wondered why you lose GB of disk space each day? "-With time machine?"

It makes local backups while you are away from the computer's time machine. Don't worry, it is a Terminal command to diable.
