AVERT Full Scan Your Computer with 8 Antivirus Engines

Posted: 25 Oct 2010 12:00 AM PDT


Once I’ve remotely seen a computer running a few antivirus installed together with the real time protection enabled via teamviewer. You may think that it’s impossible because normally the antivirus setup installer will check for any installed antivirus before allowing you to proceed with the installation.

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 02:25 PM PDT

What is SepiaTown?
"In a way, it's a time machine. SepiaTown lets you use your computer or mobile device to see what the very spot you're standing on looked like decades or centuries ago...SepiaTown lets you view and share thousands of mapped historical images from around the globe....The objective of SepiaTown is to map a virtual past by collecting and mapping a vast collection of historical and vintage photographs, prints, film, audio and other media. Please help this collection grow and share your history - contribute your own early photos, pieces of history, and other media from yesteryear"


This site would be great for history teachers and their students, especially in classrooms that have interactive whiteboards!

Geoff McGhee is a journalist who specializes in multimedia and information graphics. He currently works at the Bill Lane Center for the Amercan West at Stanford, where he previously spent a year as a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at the university, studying data visualization.  


In the following video, Journalism in the Age of Data,  McGhee provides an interesting overview of the ways different disciplines are collaborating-and converging- to create visualizations that communicate data and information in effective and meaningful ways. The video is over 50 minutes long, but worth viewing. 


Info from McGhee's Vimeo site:
"Journalists are coping with the rising information flood by borrowing data visualisation techniques from computer scientists, researchers, and artists.  Some newsrooms are already beginning to retool their staffs and systems to prepare for a future in which data becomes a medium.  But how can traditional narratives be fused with sophisticated, interactive information displays? Watch the full version with annotations and links at datajournalism.stanford.edu "
