Rosetta Collection - The Rosetta Project

http://rosettaproject.org/archive/collection/ The Rosetta Disk and 1000 Language Archive The Rosetta Project began with an experiment in microetching technology, the Long Now Foundation wanting to evaluate the potential of microetched nickel disks for the very long term archiving of textual and image data. Based on tests conducted by Los Alamos National Labs, such a disk could arguably withstand a variety of extreme environmental conditions and remain legible under magnification, providing a record far into the future. Because the disk is an analog representation of page images (similar in concept to microfiche, but with a much higher page density), it also avoids the well known problems of digital storage.
The Pulp Magazines Project is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the study and preservation of one of the twentieth century's most influential literary & artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The Project also provides information on the history of this important but long neglected medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists, and their publishers. Images and materials associated with this site are intended strictly for non-commercial, scholarly uses. http://pulpmags.org/

Blog: New Text-to-Speech API for Chrome extensions

http://blog.chromium.org/2011/10/new-text-to-speech-api-for-chrome.html Interested in making your Chrome Extension (or packaged app ) talk using synthesized speech? Chrome now includes a Text-to-Speech (TTS) API that’s simple to use, powerful, and flexible for users. Let’s start with the "simple to use" part. A few clever apps and extensions figured out how to talk before this API was available – typically by sending text to a remote server that returns an MP3 file that can be played using HTML5 audio.

Plagiarism Checkers: 5 Free Websites To Catch The Copycats

“A lack of originality That was from “˜Copycats’, a song by the Cranberries. Just swap the radio for the web and we could have an anthem for our times where content is free and content lifting is freedom. Copying is tame, plagiarism is the more serious (and demeaning) word and with the laws against copyright infringement in place, plagiarism as intentional fraud carries a mean look. Content plagiarism on the web spreads as fast as the web itself. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/article-checkers-5-free-websites-to-catch-the-copycats/
