Technically delicious links:

  • Twitter Newspapers – Create your own online newspaper with top retweeted stories from your personal twitter feed that also pulls in text from linked stories
  • Digital Economy Bill – Another take on the UK's Digital Economy Bill which was shoehorned into law during Parliamentary washup prior to a general election.
  • Display Email User Agent In Thunderbird – Find out what email programs your correspondents are using with a simple Thunderbird hack.
  • A web without Flash – Adobe's web media player/streamer is no flash in the pan, it's present on 99 out of every 100 computers, but HTML5 can do so much more without the inherent security vulnerabilities.
  • Youtube’s next big headache – Forget the shenanigans wrought by the music and movie copyright guards, software piracy is the next big headache for Youtube
  • Java Patch Plugs 27 Security Holes – More fingers in the dam of insecurity, this time Java plugging the holes…
  • Recommended settings for using Google Mail IMAP with an email program – IMAP email synchronisation between GMail and an email client like Thunderbird or Outlook can be slow and a real bandwidth hog if you've set it up in a less than optimal way. Google has some suggestions, which seem to work very well.
