THE Fiddler Book straight from the source, EricLaw - the developer of Fiddler!
Fiddler is a wonderful tool with never ending extensibility. With this book I shall master it!
MAVIS indexes audio and video so you can do text search over the contents. For example search for ‘metro’ in all of the BUILD conference talks.
jQuery plugin that blindly removes lines with errors and recompiles until it works
VIM Clutch is a USB pedal for VIM users:
When the pedal is pressed down, the pedal types “i” causing VIM to go into Insert Mode. When released, it types and you are back in Normal Mode.
Some fun CSS things including the following:
head { display: block; border-bottom: 5px solid red; }
script, style, link { display: block; white-space: pre; font-family: monospace; }
script:before { content: “ ”; }

Someone has been watching too much Ghost in the Shell. I’d say someone has been watching too much Hackers but this actually looks cooler than their visualizations and also you can never watch too much of Hackers.
The Verge has the best earliest coverage of the Microsoft Surface press conference and pretty photos.
Microsoft Surface event 2012: everything you need to know
This page is a high-level overview of the project and provides guidence on how to implement the intents in your applications without the need for the you to understand the entire spec.
| HTTP Content Coding Token | gzip | deflate | compress |
|---|---|---|---|
| An encoding format produced by the file compression program "gzip" (GNU zip) | The "zlib" format as described in RFC 1950. | The encoding format produced by the common UNIX file compression program "compress". | |
| Data Format | GZIP file format | ZLIB Compressed Data Format | The compress program's file format |
| Compression Method | Deflate compression method | LZW | |
| Deflate consists of LZ77 and Huffman coding | |||
Compress doesn't seem to be supported by popular current browsers, possibly due to its past with patents.
Deflate isn't done correctly all the time. Some servers would send the deflate data format instead of the zlib data format and at least some versions of Internet Explorer expect deflate data format instead of zlib data format.
451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons: The 451 status code is optional; clients cannot rely upon its use. It is imaginable that certain legal authorities may wish to avoid transparency, and not only forbid access to certain resources, but also disclosure that the restriction exists.
That was fast.
As you might have guessed, Flame is also US/Israel produced malware. From the people who brought you Stuxnet, its… Flame!
Summary of one of the Chrome security exploits from pwn2own. Basically XSS into the chrome URI scheme which gives access to special APIs.
A leaf directory in a whole set of files that map from character set byte value to Unicode code point. This one is a set of Microsoft character set byte mappings, but there are other vendors in there too.
So this is another Stuxnet by Israel/US?
The analysis reinforces theories that researchers from Kaspersky Lab, CrySyS Lab, and Symantec published almost two weeks ago. Namely, Flame could only have been developed with the backing of a wealthy nation-state. … “It’s not a garden-variety collision attack, or just an implementation of previous MD5 collisions papers—which would be difficult enough,” Matthew Green, a professor specializing in cryptography in the computer science department at Johns Hopkins University, told Ars. “There were mathematicians doing new science to make Flame work.”
Won’t someone think of the URIs?! At some point in the not too distant past, MSDN changed how you link to documentation and broke all existing links. This included some of links in documents on MSDN.
