JavaScript: The Good Parts

Anita Kuno writes "JavaScript: The Good Parts is about the good parts of JavaScript and how to use them. This book takes a realistic look at the strengths and weaknesses of JavaScript and tells you how to use it to its best advantage. The code samples deal with the language and its merits — creating web pages is not discussed. How to understand the language, to execute the operations you want, is the focus of the book, not how to make rounded corners. The author, Douglas Crockford says, 'My microwave oven has tons of features, but the only ones I use are cook and the clock. And setting the clock is a struggle. We cope with the complexity of feature-driven design by finding and sticking with the good parts.'" Keep reading for the rest of Anita's review.

How creepy is Google's Street View?

Since its launch a little over a year ago, Google Street View has been the pseudo-comedy privacy scare that keeps on giving. Just in the past few weeks, we've been treated to such instant Street View classics as the house on fire (prompting a commenter-driven rush on Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three jokes), the wedding proposal (with audience participation), and the man sleeping one off in front of his house (a close friend of his had just died, isn't that hilarious). These join iconic Street View bloopers like man climbing fence and a bloated list of other occasionally funny or unnecessarily cruel finds.

(Makes sense as the game runs on the Taito Type X2 arcade system board!) The NESYS Card will come in four patterns, all of which are pictured. This saved player data contains the player name that appears on-screen in versus mode. The player data can also be accessed individual cell phone SFIV player webpages, which feature stats and ranking as well as news about SFIV events. Via the cell phone site, it's possible to create and name SFIV guilds. Players can then collect "guild points" and compete with other SFIV guilds to improve their ranking to boot!"

Nvidia 55nm Parts Are Bad Too

JagsLive sends in a story (in somewhat inflammatory prose) from The Inquirer, which links to many others; they have been following developments in the alleged NVidia quality "fiasco" for some time. "Hot on the heels of its denials that anything is wrong with the G92 and G94s comes another PCN [Product Change Notification] that shows the G92s and G92b are being changed for no reason.
