Be Subversive--10 Subversion Tips to Control Your Code
http://fyi.oreilly.com/2008/10/subversion-tips.html?CMP=EMC-ormnewsletter&ATT=oct08-fyi-subversiontips

Is Subversion the right tool? "If you need to archive old versions of files and
directories, possibly resurrect them, or examine logs of how they've changed over
time, then Subversion is exactly the right tool for you." So write the authors
of O'Reilly's Version Control with Subversion, 2nd Ed.--C. Michael Pilato, Ben
Collins-Sussman, and Brian Fitzpatrick. And here, these members of the Subversion
development team give you their top tips for avoiding the pesky network round-trip,
safely moving files and directories with wild abandon, teaching your Subversion
client to add certain properties to your files automatically, and more.

Black Monday, 2008
http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2008/09/black-monday-2008.html?CMP=EMC-ormnewsletter&ATT=oct08-news-blackmonday

At one point, the stock market fall was so rapid that several financial sites
web service update servers were overwhelmed and crashed as people refreshed their
browsers second by second to watch the carnage. At the end of the day, the damage
was significant - the Dow down 672 points (6.2%), the S&P down 94 points (7.8%)
and the NASDAQ down a staggering 200 points (more than 9.1%). In Canada, the TSX
closed down 750 points, and it's likely that the selloff in Asia and Europe will
be just as brutal.

Theodore Tso: How the LSB Helps You Behind the Scenes
http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2008/09/theodore-tso-how-the-lsb-helps.html?CMP=EMC-ormnewsletter&ATT=oct08-news=tso

The Linux Standard Base (LSB) is the Rosetta Stone for Linux distributions, it
establishes a common set of libraries and tools that any Linux application can
use safely, and be assured of running correctly. The Linux Foundation is the
keeper of the LSB, and recently we spoke with Theodore Tso, who helps tend the
LSB, about what goes into keeping it healthy, and how it benefits ISVs,
distribution maintainers, and end users alike..

Nancy Duarte You are a Natural Born (Visual) Storyteller
http://fyi.oreilly.com/2008/09/learn-to-tell-your-stories---.html?CMP=EMC-ormnewsletter&ATT=oct08-news-nancyduarte

According to Nancy Duarte, author of slide:ology: The Art and Science of
Creating Great Presentations, we're often afraid to unleash our natural
storytelling instincts because we're afraid to be different, afraid to stand out
from our corporate norm. And this leads to presentations that put our audiences
to sleep - or worse - fail to communicate the information that we hope to convey.
In her recent webcast, You are a Natural Born (Visual) Storyteller, Nancy showed
the audience how to infuse life, intelligence, and good design into their
presentations. The recording is now ready for viewing.

iPhone Forensics 101: Bypassing the iPhone Passcode
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596153588/?CMP=EMC-ormnewsletter&ATT=oct08-webcast-passcode

Jonathan Zdziarski, author of the just-released iPhone Forensics, delivered a
much-talked about presentation on bypassing the iPhone 3G passcode, in which he
revealed some little known "security" issues pertaining to that device. Most
notable was the fact that the iPhone captures and stores screenshots of any place
you visit on the web (using your iPhone, of course). The recording is now ready
for viewing.
