If there was ever a universal common.js shared among the entire develosphere, you’d fine these ten (plus one bonus) functions.

RIA ou KISS?
Apesar do título estranho deste artigo, ele não é para rir nem para dar beijos
RIA significa “Rich Internet Applications” e KISS é o conceito de “Keep It Simple, Stupid”. Os dois são, para algumas pessoas, o oposto um do outro, mas pessoalmente eu acho que nos dias que correm, com cada vez mais aplicações webbased e com mais funcionalidades, é importante que sejam fáceis de utilizar e não compliquem ainda mais a vida ao utilizador.

Banksy’s Online “Store”
After the stellar success of his star-studded LA show (where Brad and Angelina walked away with quite a few pics) and setting a personal record at auction back in October 2006, Banksy is offering free downloads of some of his images for those that can’t afford to buy his art. No doubt a response to the many profiteers who’ve turned his images into unauthorized tees and other goods (an practice antithetical to Banksy’s work), the move is a very Banksy like response. As he reminds on the site, please note that the images are for personal use only and should be printed at work.

Microbaterias atômicas poderão ser a solução para redes de sensores
Você já pensou em ter um celular, um tocador de MP3 ou um notebook atômico? Que dispensasse recargas constantes de baterias e fornecesse energia elétrica suficiente para anos de operação? Que substituísse as muitas vezes explosivas baterias de lítio por uma mini-central atômica? A promessa de energia de longa duração pode ser tentadora, mas será que os riscos não seriam muito maiores?
