PP Plugin – Missed calls
To install this plugin, you must FIRST INSTALL THE MAIN APP PixelPhone.
Guía 902
En la versión completa, cuando la aplicación detecta una llamada a un número de teléfono del que dispone una alternativa en su base de datos, te preguntará automáticamente si deseas llamar al número alternativo. Aún así siempre tienes disponible la agenda de números 902 y su buscador.
Esta aplicación se alimenta de la información facilitada por los usuarios por lo que no podemos garantizar al 100% la fiabilidad de los datos. Si detectas que un número es incorrecto, háznoslo saber desde la opción habilitada para tal fin en la pantalla de detalle de un número. Así mismo, si dispones de algún teléfono alternativo a un 902, puedes enviarlo desde la opción habilitada en el menú principal de la aplicación.
Además, la nueva versión incluye la posibilidad de añadir números "baneados" (publicidad, comerciales, telemarketing...), para recibir avisos cuando tienes una llamada entrante de uno de estos números.
La suscripción a la versión completa (por 0,79€) elimina la publicidad de la aplicación, realiza las actualizaciones automáticas de los teléfonos y detecta las llamadas realizadas a números de los que dispone teléfono alternativo preguntando al usuario a cual desea llamar.

How is Call Control different than all of those other "Call Blocker" apps?
When you install Call Control, you become part of a community of users who actively report spam call activity to block thousands of the most active spam callers instantly. We call it our Community Blacklist - and it's incredibly powerful. Our patent-pending technology analyzes massive volumes of call data and user reports to filter spam callers while making sure your important calls are not blocked. And by reporting spam calls you receive, you contribute to making Call Control more effective for everyone.
Call Control integrates with the FCC Do Not Call registry to make Call Control even more powerful to fight spam calls!
Automatic Spam Blocking with the Community Blacklist.
You'd have to enter thousands of numbers into other call blocker apps to match the power of Call Control! Call Control comes pre-loaded with a Community Blacklist that's generated from Community reports and Do Not Call complaints, blocking thousands of spam and unwanted calls / text messages right out of the box.
(1) Call Control requests the Camera permission to enable logging in and managing your settings online via QR code.
(2) Message blocking in Kitkat and Lollipop requires Call Control to become your default messaging app which is optional.

Have you used pipes.yahoo.com to quickly and easily do... anything? I've recently created a quick mashup of StackOverflow tags (via rss) so that I can browse through new questions in fields I like to follow.
This has been around for some time, but I've just recently revisited it and I'm completely impressed with it's ease of use. It's almost to the point where I could set up a pipe and then give a client privileges to go in and edit feed sources... and I didn't have to write more than a few lines of code.
So, what other practical uses can you think of for pipes?

I have the following problem:
I have a web application that stores data in the database. I would like for the clients to be able to extract the data e.g. of 2 tables to a file (local to the client).
The database could be arbitrarily big (meaning I have no idea how many data can potentially be in the database. Could be huge).
What is the best approach for this?
Should all the data be
SELECTed out of the tables and returned to the client as a single structure to be stored in a file?
Or should the data be retrieved in parts e.g. first 100 then next 100 entries etc and create the single structure in the client?
Are there any pros-cons to consider here?
I have the following problem:
I've built something similar - there are some really awkward problems here, especially as the filesize can grow beyond what you can comfortably handle in a browser. As the amount of data grows, the time to generate the file increases; this in turn is not what a web application is good at, so you run the risk of your web server getting unhappy with even a smallish number of visitors all requesting a large file.
What we did is split the application into 3 parts.
The "file request" was a simple web page, in which authenticated users can request their file. This kicks off the second part outside the context of the web page request:
File generator. In our case, this was a windows service which looked at a database table with file requests, picked the latest one, ran the appropriate SQL query, wrote the output to a CSV file, and ZIPped that file, before moving it to the output directory and mailing the user with a link. It set the state of the record in the database to make sure only one process happened at any one point in time.
FTP/WebDAV site: The ZIP files were written to a folder which was accessible via FTP and WebDAV - these protocols tend to do better with huge files than a standard HTTP download.
This worked pretty well - users didn't like to wait for their files, but the delay was rarely more than a few minutes.
We have a similar use case with an oracle cluster containig approx. 40GB of data. The solution working best for us is a maximum of data per select statement as it reduces DB-overhead significantly.
That being said, there are three optimizations which worked very well for us:
1.) We partition the data into 10 roughly same-sized sets and select them from the database in parallel. For our cluster we found that 8 connections in parallel work approx. 8 times faster than a single connection. There is some additional speedup up to 12 connections but that depends on your database and your dba.
2.) Keep away from hibernate or other ORMs and use custom made JDBCs once you talk about large amounts of data. Use all optimiziations you can get there (e.g. ResultSet.setFetchSize())
3.) Our data compresses very well and putting the data through a gziper saves lots of I/O time. In our case it eliminated I/O from the critical path. By the way, this is also true for storing the data in a file.

Picture: Susan Sarandon New York Premiere of Arbitrage held at the Walter Reade Theater New York City, USA - 12.09.12
Veteran actress Susan Sarandon refuses to let age concerns affect her romance with her young business partner Jonathan Bricklin, insisting it's the "soul of a person" which really matters.
The Dead Man Walking star split from her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins, in late 2009 and she went on to romance her Spin table tennis club partner Bricklin, who is more than 30 years her junior.
The unlikely pairing has drawn some criticism from detractors, but 65-year-old Sarandon claims age plays no part in their relationship, just like it made no difference with Robbins, 53.
During an appearance on U.S. talk show The View on Thursday (13Sep12), she says, "Well, Tim was a little bit younger... I don't go by age. I go by the soul of a person. I think that when you really love a person, the age thing, the gender, the colour, none of that matters. It's really beyond that."

Ben Fry Visualizes the Evolution of Darwin's Ideas

The visualization explores the evolution of Charles Darwin's theory of, uh, evolution. It began as a less-defined 150,000-word text in the first edition and grew and developed to a 190,000-word theory in the sixth edition.

The World of Seinfeld
After yesterday's weirdness, I'm in the mood for something light.
The show about nothing lasted nine seasons, during which Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine interacted with a whole lot of people. Ricky Linn, a graphic design student, mapped all the relationships over the years.
Connecting lines are color-coded by type of relationship. It looks like Kramer was more about making friends while Jerry and George were more the dating type. I guess Elaine kept a tighter circle of friends.
Low Income Hinders College Attendance, Even for Top Students
What if you were a good student but knew you weren't going to be able to go to college?
I was fortunate enough for most of my life to know that if I wanted to get a higher education, I would be able to. Thanks, Mom and Dad. It's hard for me to imagine working hard in middle school and high school if I didn't have that goal in mind, but that's the path that many grow up with.
The above graph are the results of a study by the Department of Education started in 1988. It shows that low-income students are most likely not to complete college - despite doing well in 8th grade. It's a much different story for high-income students.
The Department tracked student progress in 8th grade and through high school and college over the next 12 years. Only 3% of students, from low income families, with low 8th grade math performance, completed college. Compare that to students with the same math performance but from high income families. Thirty percent finished college. That's ten times more than the former.
What's worse is that many low-income students who had high math performance still didn't complete college. The percentage of college completion for low-income, high math students was still lower than high-income, low math students.

Best Beer in America 2009
Following up from last year's beer graphic, Mike Wirth looks at medal winners
from this year'sat the Great American Beer Festival since 1987. This year's festival is September 24-26.
This time around is a little more context about the breweries in America, namely the number of breweries per state. It looks like someone used Many Eyes for some bubble fun.
Also, as suggested by FD readers for the 2008 graphic, Mike includes rankings by state both by number of medals and medals per capita. Vermont wins per capita. Alaska's up there at number 6. Actually, the top states per capita seem to be mostly northern states. Gotta stay warm, eh?

How Does the Internet See You? – Personas From MIT Media
I Google myself every now and then. Everyone does. I don't know why people act like it's all weird to do it. We're all interested in what's out there on the Internet about us or someone with the same name as us. Some of it is right. A lot of it is wrong. Personas, from MIT's Metropath(ologies) exhibit, scours the Web and attempts to characterize how the Internet sees you.
In a world where fortunes are sought through data-mining vast information repositories, the computer is our indispensable but far from infallible assistant. Personas demonstrates the computer's uncanny insights and its inadvertent errors, such as the mischaracterizations caused by the inability to separate data from multiple owners of the same name. It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world, where digital histories are as important if not more important than oral histories, and computational methods of condensing our digital traces are opaque and socially ignorant.
The piece is about the incorrectness of your Internet profile just as much as what's right.
As many have pointed out, the end result is kind of anti-climatic, but it's fun to watch the process at work, which makes heavy use of natural language processing algorithm latent Dirichlet allocation [pdf] from Blei, et. al.

What is Your Wine Personality Profile?
The Texas in a Bottle guide to Texas Wine [pdf] reads:
Ever listen to somebody describe a wine? They talk about it having "character" and "personality." To hear them tell it, wines are a lot like people. We've talked it over and came to a conclusion - they have it backwards. People are a lot like wines.
And to that end, Go Texan Wine goes on to describe your personality based on what type of wine you prefer. Do you like Merlot? There's a mystical side to you, slightly mischievous, but that only makes you the life of the party.
I'm difficult. I'm demanding. But oh, oh, oh, I am so worth it. What's your wine personality?

Map/Territory Shows Augmented Reality of the Future
Map/Territory, by designer Timo Arnall, is a concept video of what it might be like to interact with a map embedded in real life - not just on a phone or on a computer screen. Imagine a world where a flick of the wrist draws up all the information you need in real time and space. Check out the 30-second clip below:
I really love stuff like this. Stuff like Map/Territory, Bruce Branit's holographic world, Microsoft's vision for 2019, or even the Starship Enterprise is simply beautiful. It's fun to imagine what the future might be like.
Nevermind the how part. Technically speaking, I have no idea how Map/Territory would ever come to fruition, and I'm pretty sure Timo doesn't either, but who cares? While technical know-how is absolutely useful and completely necessary, sometimes you need imagination and creativity to push the boundaries of what's possible.

These types of subway maps seem to be getting fairly common, in both the static and interactive/animated variety - but the visualization always seems to come from estimates.
Have any metro systems released their full data? I am sure there are tons of data logs sitting somewhere, growing every time someone swipes their metro card or drops in a subway coin. And more importantly, are metro systems using these types of visualizations to figure out how to distribute trains at different times per day? Do they use something better?
[Thanks, Jamie]

The Library Management
In our continuous effort to serve you better, the KDU Penang library would like to remind all users of the importance of being mindful of due dates.
Review letters (email notifications, inventory letters or reminders) will be emailed automatically to all library users who borrowed / check out items prior to the expiry dates. This is a courtesy service provided by the library VIRTUA system. However, please do not rely solely on this computer-generated reminder service.
Please ensure every book or item borrowed from the library be returned on time. Fines for any overdue, damaged or lost book or item will be borne by the borrowers.
We hope all library users would occasionally refer to the date due slips pasted at the back of the items, and return / renew their items before the due date to avoid any unnecessary inconvenience.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance.
We thank you for your full cooperation.
