Summary Where shall I begin, please your Majesty? Begin at the beginning, the King said gravely, and go on till you come to the end: then stop. Everything has to begin somewhere, so let us start with a focused history lesson. If any terms are unfamiliar to you, do not worry: if they are important for learning web development they will be defined in the later articles that go into more depth on each subject, and you can always search them out using your search engine of choice! This article is also translated into Serbo-Croatian. The Internet’s Origins On the fourth of October in 1957 an event occurred that would change the world. This event led directly to the creation at the US Department of Defense of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), due to a recognized need for an organization that could research and develop advanced ideas and technology.

How does this work? Normal images are rendered as a grid of pixels where each pixel has 24bits, 8 for the red channel, 8 for the green, and 8 for the blue (RGB). This allows 256 possible values for each color channel for a total of 256**3 ~ 16.7 million colors. However, the human eye cannot perceive this many colors. The example here uses the HTML5 canvas tag to do operations on image bitmap data. Encode/decode functions: function textToImageData(text, imgd) { text = "@!

Today we are releasing no less than four new features: Bulk actions on clips: publish, delete, tag, mention, or add to a board. Note taking: make rich text notes and to do lists. File drag-and-drop: copy image and text files from your computer in one fell swoop. An improved clipper UI: easier on the eyes and one step closer to mind reading. Editing multiple clips in Edit Mode Since each of these features is worthy of its own dedicated post, we're going to spread out the details over the next few days. From a perception perspective, note taking and drag-and-drop are, perhaps, the two more notable features because they change what you can clip and where you can clip it. Adding a new note on Clipboard Clipboard now support drag and drop A while back, we extended the notion of a clip to include bookmarks, screen grabs, and text snippets. We've also overhauled the Clipper interaction

Reading someone’s Gmail doesn’t violate federal statute, court finds
In a case decided on Wednesday, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that accessing someone’s online e-mail without their permission doesn’t violate the 1986-era Stored Communications Act (SCA). Though they differed in their reasoning, the justices were unanimous in ruling that e-mail stored in the cloud (like Gmail or Yahoo Mail) does not meet the definition of electronic storage as written in the statute. This new decision creates a split with existing case law (Theofel v. Farey-Jones) as decided in a 2004 case decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. That decision found that an e-mail message that was received, read, and left on a server (rather than being deleted) did constitute storage "for purposes of backup protection," and therefore was also defined as being kept in "electronic storage." Legal scholars point to this judicial split as yet another reason why the Supreme Court (and/or Congress) should take up the issue of the Stored Communications Act.

Kippt, Pinboard Help Digg Users Find New Home For Old Data [Here's How]
When Digg launched Version 4 in August 2010, users weren’t happy about it. Some called it a revolt. As Kevin Rose said recently in a Reddit AMA, the company made some decisions during the rollout that “went against its core” to stave off declining traffic. Betaworks acquired Digg in July and put its News.me team in charge of the site. The new owners had focused on getting the new version up and operational (with less expensive infrastructure) instead, but they promised a rectification to the historic data problem in the near future. Yesterday, the team did just that and actually seems to have gone beyond what is usually characteristic for new management or a deadpooled/acquired startup to do in terms of access to historic data. Digg said via blog post: We believe that people own the data they create, so while we work to determine if and how this data makes its way into the new Digg, we wanted to provide a way for users to access their history.
