- Many Core Processors -- not the first time I've heard nondeterministic computing discussed as a solution to some of our parallel-programming travails. Can't imagine what a pleasure it is to debug.
- Pinterest Cloned -- it's not the pilfering of the idea that offends my sensibilities, it's the blatant clone of every aspect of the UI. I never thought much of the old Apple look'n'feel lawsuit but this really rubs me the wrong way.
- What You May Not Know About jQuery -- far more than DOM and AJAX calls. (via Javascript Weekly)
- Spark -- Scala-implemented alternative framework to the model of parallelism in MapReduce. (via Pete Warden)
