Business technology, IT news, product reviews and enterprise IT strategies - InfoWorld
InfoWorld has chronicled and analyzed the development of new technology and the people who create it since 1978. Today, InfoWorld is the Web destination of choice for IT decision makers seeking to modernize their operations using the latest technologies, architectures, and strategies. A core group of thought leaders, many of whom work in IT, produce InfoWorld's special mix of analysis, opinion, and product reviews to help IT professionals optimize resources, build agile infrastructures, and improve their work lives.
InfoWorld segments its content into Channels and Topic Centers. Sites in their own right, Channels focus on core issues affecting modern IT, with each Channel featuring articles, multimedia, a blogger "host," research material, and community discussion forums. Topic Centers deliver similar value within the framework of the main InfoWorld site. Both Channels and Topic Centers provide centralized resources IT professionals use to determine how to create the best solutions for competitive advantage.
Use Hulu, Pandora, or the BBC iPlayer from any country
.
For anyone who lives outside the US (or is a US citizen but goes outside the country for vacation), one of the more frustrating aspects of most of the TV streaming services I wrote about earlier is that they are restricted to users accessing the site from the United States. On the flip-side, the BBC's iPlayer is restricted to UK users only, because the BBC is funded by the British public.
OK, fine, I understand the BBC position. If I paid taxes to sponsor the programming, I might be miffed if the rest of the world had free access too. But what if you are a UK resident who happens to go on holiday to another part of Europe? Should you really have to miss "EastEnders?" I say, "no."

The machines are making such a wonderful music, who would want to pull the plug? | MetaFilter
Computer music is relatively old, going back to the very early 1950s. In the following decades, people have been creative with programmable technology, leading to "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" being played on an IBM chain printer back in 1966, and in more recent years, HP ScanJet 5100c included an Easter Egg. The HP ScanJet 4c's SCL (Scanner Control Language) unofficial PLAY TUNE command lead to these fine little ditties. Now over a decade ago, the duo known as [The User] enlisted three specialists to operate a computer program via a server that synchronized the dot-matrix printers and read complex ASCII text files in order to create musical compositions. The result was a techno-sounding piece that was performed by the administrators of the system, rather than one that was simply being played. Like a symphony of car horns, the coordination of these printers became Symphony #1 and #2 for Dot Matrix Printers (samples of Symphony #2, Symphony #2 Slashdot thread).

The Vertical Farm Project - Agriculture for the 21st Century and Beyond | www.verticalfarm.com
By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use (sources: FAO and NASA). Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to avoid this impending disaster?
