TWiT 366 Shownotes
TWiT 366
http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/366
------------------------------------
0:00 intro
2:48 Kevin Rose returns: Digg's death & rebirth, Milk, transition to Google.
14:21 Google Self-Driving Cars: 300k miles without a non-human driver accident. The future, and technology outpacing legislation -- and how huge tech leaks will render many laws useless.
16:47 Rathole: GoPro footage of plane crash, NBC Olympic coverage fail.
21:40 Sponsor: GoToMyPC
24:32 Diamond Club: talk from last week continued (about the book's success), the iTunes Top 100, etc.
29:24 Google & Takedown Requests: their new search terms (re: copyright notices) -- and the general ongoing issue of takedown requests. Talk about how right holders could dictate search results, says EFF. About the takedown request process being flawed. Example of LendInk.com, a site by a disabled vet that coordinates legal exchange of print books (but was effectively shut down after high volume of takedown requests).

For viewing iPhone-sized webpages with Chrome, edit any existing Chrome bookmark and replace the URL with this. By default, Chrome cannot be manually minimized any smaller than 400px in width. This gets around that problem.
javascript:(function(){window.open('http://localhost:3000', '','width=320,height=480');})();

davidpots / all songs, ungrouped (original source JSON)
Created September 11, 2013 12:34
Songs, grouped by key (year, artist, or title). This is the result of a Javascript exercise I'm doing to better get a handle on grouping/sorting/manipulating JSON. To see the original JSON source data I used to dynamically create each of these grouped sets, see the bottom-most file of this gist.

"songs": [
{
"title": "1904",

Intro Tab variations for "Take On Me" by A-ha.
Intro Riff, Version 1
The Marty Schwartz version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWWM6sn0opU). The 2nd and 3rd bars use an open E string as liberally as possible, which is nice for minimizing movement of your left hand.
