*** O'Reilly News ***
The Mac at 25: Andy Hertzfeld Looks Back
Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original designers of the Macintosh, is also the
author of the book Revolution in the Valley, which tells the tale of the birth
of the Mac. As the Mac approaches its 25th anniversary in January, Andy spent
some time talking about how the Mac has changed over time, how a group of highly
talented individuals was able to come together as a team to create it, why Xerox
let it get away, and how life might have been different if Steve Jobs hadn't
left the company for more than 10 years.
David Flanagan on JavaScript 2 David Flanagan on JavaScript 2
Is JavaScript and HTML the new BASIC? What does the average programmer need
from JavaScript 2? Is the web the new client-server model of computing? JavaScript
guru David Flanagan addresses these questions and more in this interview.
Interview with David Heinemeier Hansson: Rails Culture, Scaling Basecamp,
and Building Successful Companies
In this video interview, DHH discusses the current state of Ruby on Rails
adoption. Who is using Rails? How was the culture changed over the past five
years? Hansson also comments on the technologies that are catching his attention
and how they might affect Rails in the months to come. Hansson also comments on
his Startup School presentation, and why he thinks Chicago is an ideal environment
for technology and innovation.
Rapping the Higgs Boson: Katherine McAlpine (aka AlpineKat) talks particle
physics, the Large Hadron Collector, and Rapping at CERN
Katherine McAlpine spends her days putting together the online newsletter for
the ATLAS project at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. But at night, she dawns
her white labcoat and geek bling, and becomes AlpineKat, rapping about the world
of high energy particle physics. O'Reilly News spent some time talking to this
multi-talented woman about what's going on at CERN, what we can expect from the
LHC, why the Higgs Boson is important, and guerrilla filmmaking in the bowels
of CERN.
Audio: Lawrence Lessig on Congressional Reform and Internet for Everyone
Lawrence Lessig discusses Change-Congress.org, a online tool for users to tag
congressional candidates as supporting or opposing reforms such as public
financing, earmark reform, and congressional transparency. Lessig also responds
to a few questions about InternetForEveryone.org, a coalition of public interest
and industry groups working for open, universal, and affordable access to
broadband.
Forbes Puts the Spotlight on Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly
"If the do-it-yourself trend is a revolution, then Dale Dougherty and
Tim O'Reilly are its Tom Paines," writes reporter Elizabeth Corcoran in a recent
Forbes.com story, Making Future Headlines. Thomas Paine, if you recall, was
America's cerebral, revolutionary activist and the author of a mightily
influential 1776 pamphlet, "Common Sense," supporting the American colonies
independence from Great Britain. Like Paine, Tim, founder and CEO of O'Reilly
Media, and Dale, editor and publisher of Make, are "awfully good at spotting
trends," writes Corcoran. So good, in fact, that Forbes also included the pair
in their photo feature on techno-wizards--"In Pictures: Eight People Inventing
The Future."
Everything You Want to Know about the iPhone 3G
David Pogue, the New York Times technology columnist and bestselling author,

iPhone: The Missing Manual. It's the first and best book about every Apple
improvement to its own second edition--the iPhone 3G and iPhone 2.0. Over 100
new features are demystified, troubleshot, and evaluated: GPS position tracking,
MobileMe syncing, Microsoft Exchange server syncing, make-your-own ringtones,
geotagging photos, and much more! The book is available in print, PDF, EPUB and
Kindle-compatible Mobipocket formats. Browse the book now.
What developers should know about IP
Author Van Lindberg is both software engineer and practicing attorney. His
new book, Intellectual Property and Open Source tackles the slippery subject of
intellectual property. In this interview, Van explains why intellectual property
law is so important to developers—any developers—and shares his most important
tips for developers starting out in the world of open source.

Martelli - Google's Uber Tech Lead on Code Reviews, Nathan Torkington - What's
