Best of Breed | Top 100 Tools for Learning 2014

Must disagree with Twitter being number one. As Twitter now filters student posts it has become useless in the classroom, as student posts no longer can relied on to appear in a hash tag stream. Simply the students have stopped using it.

Yahoo threatened with $ trillion fine over user data access #vmvwiki

I like that the cost of the Star Wars Death Star is shown on the graph.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11326405

News coverage of the case, for which documents were unsealed last week, reported the proposed fines as $250,000 a day. But there was also a clause that called for a doubling of the amount each week if Yahoo refused to comply. It was more than enough to bankrupt the company after just a few months.

At the six-month mark, the doubling fine would have equaled $117 trillion. Depending on the calculation you use, the fine would have exceeded the total dollar value of the entire Earth (including economic assets and the physical value of the planet itself) in either the eighth or ninth month.

SSL Labs is a collection of documents, tools and thoughts related to SSL. It's an attempt to better understand how SSL is deployed, and an attempt to make it better. I hope that, in time, SSL Labs will grow into a forum where SSL will be discussed and improved.
