Since last post on the visual poiskovoy Search me she has a new function mediapoisk and collections ( Stacks ). The video search is not new (although its continue to invent ), but the ability to flick the mouse to create galleries of interesting. Prior to that, the features of the search engine was only in the visual representation Cover Flow (I think I added the outline around the words of the query in the screenshot) and the assumption category, due to the lack of which in the normal search you have to add the exception. the And Yes, AdBlock still blocks Searchme, but only screenshots of sites, so you have to add an exception "@@searchme.com". the Stacks Stack — a collection/folder of links to the found pages, videos and images that are displayed in the same gallery (but in the order they were added, which you can then change it via the box in the corner of the slide). With collections, as it turned out, work very convenient to take the picture and drag

on may 11-12 of this year in Moscow will host the third conference of professional programmers Application Developer Days (ADD). What you need to know about the conference ADD someone who it was not? First, what is a conference about technology, about programming languages, libraries, tools, architecture solutions and complex projects. There are almost no reports about people management, about effective methods of manual search and error about ways of convincing the customer that there are no errors and everything goes according to plan.

Definitely some things you can't imagine. Second, the Application Developer Days is, of course, the conference isn't for everyone. If you do develop arm on FoxPro and plan to pursue it further, then ADD this is not your case. You are concerned about the

In the course of interaction on the social sites all network members communicate writing topics, respond to comments. The most interesting interlocutors added to the friends and their messages get to a personal feed. While the growth of the number of messages becomes increasingly difficult to determine with whom to communicate. With someone can be quite active to write in different themes, but because of the large amount of information not just to associate different messages with one person. has Long been known that people, regardless of their analytical skills faster and better perceive information in graphical form. But now, in order to determine how close their views with the opinion of another member of the community is necessary to perform a lot of messages or to act impulsively relying on memory and an instant decision. Therefore, I propose to implement on Habrahabr visualize the social relations between abrollsoftware. This will make it easier to find like-minded peop

If more, it is a service that allows users, without diving into the API a huge amount of services and any knowledge about the development\programming languages mix and automate various activity with each other. In early 2012, received a seed investment in the amount of $1.5 M . In the system of only a few entities, such as tasks ( these are the rules of your triggers or reactions to an external event), recipes (these are the tasks that others have created and shared with all) and channels ( that's what it takes to try to confuse establishing different patterns of tasks, each channel should be tied to ifttt.com ).
