Dev Channel Update. Street View says "aloha" from Hawaii. Before joining Google, I lived in Hawaii for several years. Now, one look at a photo of palm trees swaying in front of an impossibly blue-green ocean transports me back to the islands—relaxing on the beach and listening to the sound of waves crashing on the shore. If one photo can do that for you, how would you feel if you had access to millions of them?

Rules For Dads Raising Daughters: The Good Men Project's List. This week, science confirmed what all parents (and all people who have parents) already know -- paying attention to your kids matters. And dads need to be just as attentive and loving as moms if they want to grow healthy, well-adjusted adults. When it comes to fathers with daughters, there are unique challenges associated with this endeavor.

Over at The Good Men Project, Marcus Williams and Joanna Schroeder teamed up to help. Their solution, the list that follows, is one of the best rule books we've seen. Perhaps that's because they agreed to disagree on some suggestions. "We agreed on many of these rules, though some only made it in when the other one wasn’t looking. While Williams and Schroeder recognize this is a lengthy set of instructions, we think they are all very much worth reading. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The Three Christs of Ypsilanti (1964) is a book-length psychiatric case study by Milton Rokeach, concerning his experiment on a group of three paranoid schizophrenic patients at Ypsilanti State Hospital[1] in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The book details the interactions of the three patients, Clyde Benson, Joseph Cassel, and Leon Gabor, who each believed himself to be Jesus Christ.

Synopsis[edit] To study the basis for delusional belief systems, Rokeach brought together three men who each claimed to be Jesus Christ and confronted them with one another's conflicting claims, while encouraging them to interact personally as a support group. Rokeach also attempted to manipulate other aspects of their delusions by inventing messages from imaginary characters. He did not, as he had hoped, provoke any lessening of the patients' delusions, but did document a number of changes in their beliefs. Editions[edit] The Three Christs of Ypsilanti was first published in 1964. References[edit] Breaking - Official Raspberry Pi Support Coming To Chrome OS - Do You Have $25 To Spare? I was expecting Raspberry Pi support coming to Chromium OS via Hexxeh. But looks like we are getting official Chrome OS builds on Raspberry Pi, thanks to Hexxeh. Yes, a Chromebox (if you can call it so) for $25 will soon be possible. Things are in a very early stage of development now.

The comment for this code change said “Build raspberrypi board, confirm board boots (minus UI)” That means the build is very very new! I see Hexxeh’s name as one of the main contributors for this project. Initial commit of Raspberry Pi boardBUG=none TEST=Build raspberrypi board, confirm board boots (minus UI) I am not 100% sure if this will actually land on Chrome OS. But there is a possibility that Google added this support to encourage the opensource community around Chromium OS. Okay, What is Raspberry Pi ? A note for those who are new to “Raspberry Pi “. What are they trying to do? We don’t claim to have all the answers. So, exciting news uh? More transparency into government requests. About two years ago, we launched our interactive Transparency Report. We started by disclosing data about government requests. Since then, we’ve been steadily adding new features, like graphs showing traffic patterns and disruptions to Google services from different countries.

And just a couple weeks ago, we launched a new section showing the requests we get from copyright holders to remove search results. The traffic and copyright sections of the Transparency Report are refreshed in near-real-time, but government request data is updated in six-month increments because it’s a people-driven, manual process. Today we’re releasing data showing government requests to remove blog posts or videos or hand over user information made from July to December 2011. Unfortunately, what we’ve seen over the past couple years has been troubling, and today is no different. This is the fifth data set that we’ve released. Energy efficiency in the cloud. Safe Browsing—protecting web users for five years and counting. In this post, we've collected some highlights from the past five years of our Safe Browsing efforts, aimed at keeping people safe online. See the Security Blog for the full details and more visuals.

-Ed. Five years ago, we launched Safe Browsing, an initiative designed to keep people safe from malicious content online. Our primary goal was to safeguard Google's search results against malware (software capable of taking control of your computer) and phishing (fraudulent websites that entice users to give up their personal information). We also wanted to help educate webmasters on how to protect their own sites. Malware and phishing are still big problems online, but our Safe Browsing team has labored continuously to adapt to the rising challenges of new threats.

Here’s a look at the highlights from our efforts over the past five years: Phishing and malware trends Online commerce sites are still favorite phishing targets because phishers are motivated by money.

After days of speculation and rumors, Microsoft's major announcement has just been unveiled at a press event in Los Angeles: a Surface tablet. We suspected the company might be working on its own tablet, and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer revealed the device on stage at Milk Studios in Los Angeles today. Discussing Microsoft's history with Windows, Xbox, and Kinect, Ballmer introduced a video of the company's hardware products over the years before unveiling Windows 8's companion, the Microsoft Surface. Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky took to the stage to describe the hardware of Microsoft's Surface tablet. There will be two options for Microsoft's Surface PC, one powered by Intel's 22nm Ivy Bridge chips running Windows 8, and another Surface powered by an ARM chipset and Windows RT.

Microsoft's Intel-based Surface tablet will run Windows 8 Pro, with a thickness of 13.5mm, a weight of 1.9lbs, and USB 3.0 support. Check out our hands-on with Microsoft's new Surface tablet PC.

Worried that your LinkedIn password may be a part of the nearly 6.5 million compromised on Wednesday?

Password management firm LastPass has released a secure tool to see if your password was among the stolen. News first surfaced about the security breach after a Russian hacker said he stole 6,458,020 encrypted LinkedIn passwords and posted them online (without usernames) to prove his feat. The breach comes on the heels of news that LinkedIn's iOS app potentially violates user privacy by sending detailed calendar entries to its servers. LinkedIn confirmed that some passwords had become compromised and said it would contact affected users with details on how to change their password. SEE ALSO: LinkedIn Hacker Steals 1.5 Million Passwords from eHarmony [REPORT] Although usernames associated with the passwords were not released, the passwords themselves will surely be used to help reverse-engineer other cryptography systems. How This Works Change Your Password. LinkedIn Password Checker. LinkedIn was hacked, confirmed by LinkedIn on 6/6/2012 LinkedIn has updated their blog indicating that there was a breach, and several LastPass staff members who used unique passwords for LinkedIn only, as well as numerous individuals not associated with LastPass, have confirmed that LinkedIn's database has indeed been hacked.

If you have a LinkedIn account, we strongly suggest that you immediately: Was *My* LinkedIn Password Hacked? If you would like to find out if your LinkedIn password was one of the 6.5 million that were leaked, you can use the below tool: Sorry JavaScript is required to use this tool Wait a Minute, Why Is This Tool Safe?

Growing Up on Zoloft - Talking Drugs, Depression, and Identity With Katherine Sharpe | Wired Science. I was pleased to hear last year that Katherine Sharpe* was writing a book on Coming of Age on Zoloft, and when I got my review copy a few weeks go, even the first half-hour’s reading showed me the book answered my hopes: The book explores not just the vital, running debate about whether we’re overmedicating depression and melancholy, but what it means to come of age, and of identity, while one is taking these meds, and it does so with smarts, sensitivity, and a sense for nuance.

This is quite an absorbing read, in the tradition of Kay Redfield Jamison — a personal but heavily reported look at a dilemma that is both highly personal, for those who face depression, and important for how our culture views mood, mental illness, medicine, and character. I think it an important book and recommend it highly. You can grab a copy here. It was a pleasure to discuss with Sharpe some of the questions she explores in the book; our conversation is below.

Pendulum Throw In The Towel. It looks as though Perth-born London-bred electronica piece Pendulum have reneged on a statement they made to fans at last year’s V Festival in the UK, explaining that they will be on hiatus.

However, we have now learned that the touring, recording force known as Pendulum is no more. In a recent interview with triple j, Rob Swire, one half of the creative due behind Pendulum which took form a decade ago in Perth, confessed that it stopped being fun. However, fans can let out a sigh of relief, as this isn’t the last we’ve heard of Swire and counterpart Gareth McGrillen, who will bring their side project Knife Party to the front burner.

“The Knife Party thing is going so well we don’t really feel like going back to junior school anytime soon”, Swire told triple j’s Linda Marigliano. “I guess we’d been doing Pendulum for ten years and that’s a pretty long time to be doing anything, I guess. So, we have been presented with a double edged sword. Read More. HXTqJ.gif (900×2216) Expiring Resources - BBC : dataisbeautiful. Listen to the Stock Check - Brooke Brisbois.
