A Universal RFID key
RFID projects have been pretty prominent recently, ranging from projects here in Instructables, to our local Silicon Chip magazine in Australia publishing a RFID door lock project in their November issue. Even I recently purchased a RFID door lock on eBay for $15 to lock my garage (so my front neighbor could get tools if he wanted to). We have known that the cheaper RFID technologies were pretty insecure for a number of years. Researchers have demonstrated cloners of all varieties, but simple RFID tags are still being used for access control. A while ago, I was looking at Hack A Day, and I saw an amazing project that somebody had made. So, in typical fashion, I built my own reader hardware so I could have a look at the data from a card, and created my own version of the Universal RFID key. The key I made works beautifully both on my garage door, as well as on a number of other readers I tried. Will this key let you into anybodies RFID protected office?
What I Wish Tornado Were
FriendFeed has released its web server, Tornado. It seems like everyone's blogging about it, and it's obviously relevant to my interests, so I feel like I should say something. Let me start with the good stuff. First of all, I think it's great that we have yet another asynchronous contender in the Python world. Every time something like this comes out, it means that Twisted has to fight that much less hard to get over the huge hump of event-driven programming being too hard, or too weird, or whatever. It's good to have an endorsement of the general message "if you need a web server to handle COMET requests, it needs to be asynchronous to perform acceptably" from such a high-profile company as Facebook. Unfortunately I think the larger picture here is a failure of communication in the open source community. This is especially important if you are later going to make claims about that project not living up to your vaguely-described requirements, and thereby damage its reputation.

Python Community in Anguish, Pain, Despair Over Web Server
First they had the guts to punk TechCrunch, now Facebook picks a fight with the Python community by releasing a web server, called Tornado, developed by recently acquired Friendfeed. Terry Jones, CEO of Fluidinfo, probably best expressed the pain felt by Pythonistas: "Words fail me on this one. I’ve spent some hours today trying to put my thoughts into order so I could put together a reasonably coherent blog post on the subject. But I’ve failed." Facebook's Bret Taylor explains the reasons for such a highly unpopular move: "We ended up writing our own web server and framework after looking at existing servers and tools like Twisted because none matched both our performance requirements and our ease-of-use requirements." The performance myth was quickly dismissed by an article which shows that Twisted performs almost as well as Tornado. Pwpwp looked at the Twisted documentation, to dispel the ease-of-use myth. As you can see clearly, it's mostly a problem of perception.

HTTP Compression of the Fortune 1000 - content encoding can compress xhtml, css, and javascript for faster web page download times web compression
Summary: HTTP compression uses standards-based gzip and deflate compression algorithms to compress your XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript to speed up web page downloads and save bandwidth. HTTP compression, otherwise known as content encoding, is a publicly defined way to compress textual content transferred from web servers to browsers. HTTP compression uses public domain compression algorithms, like gzip and compress, to compress XHTML, JavaScript, CSS, and other text files at the server. This standards-based method of delivering compressed content is built into HTTP 1.1, and most modern browsers that support HTTP 1.1 support ZLIB inflation of deflated documents. Stephen Pierzchala, Senior Technical Performance Analyst with Gomez, said this about HTTP compression: "When tied to other methods, such as proper caching configurations and the use of persistent connections, HTTP compression can greatly improve Web performance.

What do React Native app development services do? :: robertmorin646
When the open-source framework called React Native was released in 2015, tech experts were unsure of its success. By that time, several tech giants had already appeared in the market. The prime buzz all around the world was centred on innovations in mobile app development. So, the idea of using the same codebase for the creation of different apps felt a little unpopular. However, these tech experts failed to understand that timely delivery of mobile apps is as important as its innovative property. Today, popular mobile apps are based on React Native. If you are looking to develop a quality mobile app for your brand, you can go for one based on React Native development services. There is one thing you must remember when you partner with one of the React Native app development services for custom mobile app development. When the open-source framework called React Native was released in 2015, tech experts were unsure of its success. Today, popular mobile apps are based on React Native.
