Menelusuri Editor Wikipedia

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Wikipedia 'shows CIA page edits' An online tool that claims to reveal the identity of organisations that edit Wikipedia pages has revealed that the CIA was involved in editing entries Wikipedia Scanner allegedly shows that workers on the agency's computers made edits to the page of Iran's president. It also purportedly shows that the Vatican has edited entries about Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams. The tool, developed by US researchers, trawls a list of 5.3m edits and matches them to the net address of the editor. The new tool was built by Virgil Griffith of the California Institute of Technology. It exploits the open nature of Wikipedia, which already collects the net address or username of editors and tracks all changes to a page. The information can be accessed in the "history" tab at the top of a Wikipedia page. By merging this information with a database of IP address owners, Wikipedia Scanner is able to put a name to the organisation and firms from which edits are made.

Hari Ultah Compact Disc

Bayangkan jika tidak ada CD, kita masih stuck dgn kaset dan video BETA cam. Lupakan saja iPod dan digital music...

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Exactly 25 years ago the world's first compact disc was produced at a Philips factory in Germany More than 200 billion CDs have been sold worldwide since then and it remains the dominant format despite the growth in digital downloads. The CD was jointly developed by Philips and Sony and the disc has also become a key storage method for computer users. The first CD produced was The Visitors by Abba. Piet Kramer, who was a member of the optical group at Philips during the disc's development, said: "When Philips teamed up with Sony to develop the CD, our first target was to win over the world for the CD. "We did this by collaborating openly to agree on a new standard. For Philips, this open innovation was a new approach and it paid off." He said the companies had never imagined that the computing and entertainment industries would also opt for the CD as a storage system for content. The first CDs went on sale in November 1982 and were mainly classical recordings.
