GNU Octave
GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
The story of the WorldWide Telescope « Jon Udell
Most scientific data will never be directly examined by scientists; rather it will be put into online databases where it will be analyzed and summarized by computer programs. Scientists increasingly see their instruments through online scientific archives and analysis tools, rather than examining the raw data. Today this analysis is primarily driven by scientists asking queries, but scientific archives are becoming active databases that self-organize and recognize interesting and anomalous facts as data arrives.

anyone who thinks the power of data mining will let them write a spam filter without understanding linguistic structure deserves the in-box they’ll get; and that anyone who thinks they can overcome these obstacles by chanting “Bayes, Bayes, Bayes”, without also employing exactly the kind of constraints Pereira mentions, is simply ignorant of the relevant probability theory.

This is a list of the Basic Concepts posts being put up by Science Bloggers and others. It will be updated and put to the top when new entries are published.
Has scientific method become obsolete? « Entertaining Research

At a more fundamental level, in spite of what Chris Anderson has to say, science is about explanations, coherent models and understanding. In my opinion, all of what Anderson shows is that, if you have enough data, you can develop technologies without having a clear handle on the underlying science; however, it is wrong to call these technologies science, and argue that you can do science without coherent models or mechanistic explanations.
