Social media analysis: a new way of listening
Social networking is a fast-growing online trend that is changing the media landscape, particularly in the way in which consumers and companies interact with each other. These sites enable community participation and include blogs, discussion forums, social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as consumer review sites. No editor is required, which means the content is not controlled and publishing costs are always near zero.

The IBM ACS System: A Pioneering Supercomputer Project
[Recorded February 18, 2010]
The showcase IBM effort at high-performance computing in the 1960's has traditionally been considered the IBM S/360 Model 91. That machine well deserves the attention it has received. In fact, in the field of computer architecture, the 1960s are known for the CDC 6600 and the IBM Model 91, and many modern processors trace features back to those machines.
However, there was another relatively unknown IBM effort that operated in parallel with the deployment of the Mod

Huge solar prominence caught by NASA's SDO
This huge eruption of gas on the Sun was seen by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on April 19, 2010. The gas follows the Sun's magnetic field lines, bursting upwards and then raining back down. The scale of this is vast: the Earth could nestle comfortably under the arc of this prominence.
