The ramifications of an un-patrolled Internet are even more extensive than anyone might have expected. It’s bad enough that pornography & other noxious sites that abuse our children flourish because there are not enough vigilantes to say they can’t, but now our personal identities & our right to keep them to ourselves are at stake. What can we do? - vijay

Bir Fikri Öldürmenin Sekiz Yolu (ve Fazlası) - http://www.sutkutusu.com/post...
İllüstratör Scott Campbell’ın kendine özgü çizgileriyle yarattığı Bir Fikri Öldürmenin Sekiz Yolu serisi yaratıcı düşünce ve yeni fikirlerin baltalanması üzerine güncel ve popüler referanslar içeren son derece başarılı bir infografik çalışma.

Palm Pre WebOS 1.3.1 update available now - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
webOS 1.3.1 was always destined to come right around the launch of the Pixi, but it's surprised us by showing its face early. No app catalog bombshells here, but there are a slew of more minor fixes and updates that should make users experience a great deal smoother. Is this the update that finally unlocks access to the GPU and provides the speed boost Pre owners are waiting for / advances the iTunes chess match another step? We'll let you know once our unit reboots, for now here are a few highlights from Palm's list of changes: Update: Downloaded, applied and rebooted. iTunes still isn't spotting our Pre as a device to sync with, and at least for the moment there's no great speed increases to speak of, but we have noticed a few more key tweaks that owners are sure to like -- setting a specific ringtone for text messages is exactly what we've been looking for.

FeedBurner stats now showing up in Google Analytics - http://www.pheedcontent.com/click...
Filed under: Productivity, Web services, Google You'd think that Google's purchase of FeedBurner a few years back would have meant that FeedBurner stats would be easy to track in Google Analytics. No such luck so far, but Analytics can now track at least some FeedBurner info, although the process isn't very obvious. If you want to see how many people click through from your FeedBurner feed to your site (no subscriber numbers yet - sorry!) here's how: In FeedBurner, go to the Analyze tab of your settings. Make sure the "Track clicks as a traffic source in Google Analytics" box is checked. Then, in Analytics, go to "All Traffic Sources" or "Campaigns." Use the search box to search for "feed" or "feedburner," and you'll see your Feed Clicks. Google suggests you select "Ad Content" from the segment drop down in the traffic source data table, so you can see which feed readers your various visitors are using. According to ReadWriteWeb, more detailed and easier-to-find stats are on their way... - vijay
