BLDGBLOG: Drone Tax
Citing a recent court ruling in Arkansas that "has approved the use of aerial imagery to collect data on property sizes," and making reference to the already-controversial state deployment of aerial surveillance tools, sUAS suggests that drones could someday be used to manage a near-realtime catalog of local property expansions, transfers, and other tax-relevant land alterations.

HTML5: Edition for Web Authors
a strict subset of the full HTML5 specification that omits user-agent (UA) implementation details.

Screen Resolution ≠ Browser Window | CSS-Tricks
We often talk about screen resolution, which is not the relevant statistic when thinking about what space our website's visitors have available. The relevant statistic is browser window size.

Official Google Blog: +1’s: the right recommendations right when you want them—in your search results
Tell me who you are for your good… cough.So how do we know which +1’s to show you? Like social search, we use many signals to identify the most useful recommendations, including things like the people you are already connected to through Google (your chat buddies and contacts, for example). Soon we may also incorporate other signals, such as your connections on sites like Twitter, to ensure your recommendations are as relevant as possible.

Why the EU needs new personal data protection rules
I want to introduce the "right to be forgotten". Social network sites are a great way to stay in touch with friends and share information. But if people no longer want to use a service, they should have no problem wiping out their profiles. The right to be forgotten is particularly relevant to personal data that is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected. This right should also apply when a storage period, which the user agreed to, has expired.
lcamtuf's blog: HTTP cookies, or how not to design protocols
All these moves led to a very interesting situation: there is simply no accurate, offcial account of cookie behavior in modern browsers; the two relevant RFCs, often cited by people arguing on the Internet, are completely out of touch with reality.
