Convert Workbook Objects to Image, Extract & Recognize Text from Image
http://saaspose.com/blog/saaspose-cells/archive/2012/11/21/convert-workbook-elements-to-images-and-extract-text-from-images-using-saaspose-rest-apis.html
There might be a scenario where developers want to convert workbook elements to images using Saaspose.Cells and extract text from the images using Saaspose.OCR. Saaspose.Cells is a REST API that helps you create, manipulate and convert spreadsheets in the cloud whereas Saaspose.OCR is a REST API for optical character recognition and document scanning. Let’s have a look at how you can use these two REST APIs together to work with spreadsheets and text recognition.

Ask HN: Is there anything usurping WebRTC?
Considering starting a video conferencing service as I have been frustrated with some of the limitations of available services I have tried.

It seems strange to me that webrtc was last released almost 2 years ago now?

Is it perfect? Nothing could possibly be upgraded on it in the past 2 years?

Is a big overhaul in the works and web standards just move slowly?

Just curious if I should be looking somewhere else to stream video from a smartphone to a webpage?

Facebook, Google+, what about new generation social networks?: Outlyf.com
http://www.outlyf.com
When you see the war between Google+ and Facebook, the two most important social networks actually, you can see ridiculous difference between them: Facebook is old and make new thing in a messy mix every month.

Outlyf.com is a social network who is really useful and who want to connect peoples having the same spot in common.
Spots are real places all around the world, like stadiums, nightclubs, bars, museums...
With a travel system, a blog, a map localisation and a real good privacy, Outlyf will be the next higher social network.

Ask HN: What do you make of my "Social Game" ideas
I release these ideas, without warranty, under the uncommon creativity license. I tried to give them to a bum, but he turned his nose and said they were worthless.

The Game of Bureaucracy

-Thousands of individual players at various stations of a bureaucracy.

-They have a job to do, which can usually be boiled down to input and output, inbound and outbound, incoming/forwarding.

-Each station is supposed to fulfill a requisite function in the life cycle of the bigger goal.

-There is a hidden mechanism to the game, which blocks or diverts or otherwise screws up the progress of the task, such as forwarding a completed function to the wrong recipient, who must now undertake a job not their own. Players are thus thwarted a majority of occasions, usually without knowing it.

-There are promotions for efficacy; but there is no end.

-Players can chat with each other during downtime. //////

A Social Platformer Game

-There are 2 types of players: "characters" and platforms.

-Characters (like Marios) enter en mass from a fountain. Like a constant "Zerg Rush".

-They proceed across the treacherous level of shifting platforms, toward the goal.

-Platforms are motivated to either help the "Marios" (or "Zergs") or hinder them, by moving, blocking, scraping against stationary items, etc. This is entirely up to the player.

-Upon dying after a fall, characters are immediately reanimated and tossed out of the fountain. /////

The Game of the Path To Enlightenment

-This game is essentially an Indian Run (follow the leader).

-Leader takes the line of players around a map.

-They seek out destinations, people, things, or simply to finish a course or maze.

-Possibly they seek out real world places, or even visit websites, or various web portals.

-Something about coupons.

-Players in line (followers) wait for their turn up front, while issuing commands and comments to the leader about what she do, or else they watch what takes place on screen.

-Loaded with pratfalls, bad deals. /////

Polygamous Fruit Flies, the Game

-A mouse button mashing game.

-Players are fruit flies in a closed ecosystem.

-Their goal is to zone in on other fruit flies of the opposite sex and try to copulate with them.

-To copulate, the player must click repeatedly on the target while in close range. But the target may click back, and fight off the attack, if they wish. Else, they submit.

-After copulation, they die and embody one of their offspring.

-There are DNA stats associated with each fly. Within range, a fly can read these stats. The stats are basically increments and decrements, depending on whether or how much a fly is the offspring of close relatives. This gives incentive or disincentive to copulate or not.

-Players accrue points as well (not related to DNA Data), associated with the amount of successful attempts at copulation.

-Mutations.
Ask HN: Opinions on jBCrypt?
bcrypt has a good reputation for password hashing. I want to use it for apps running on the JVM (Clojure, in my case), and it seems that the jBCrypt is the only implementation available. It's on version 0.3, which may or may not be disturbing. Is it an established, respected library? If not, what Java libraries does everyone use for password hashing? I found something called Jasypt, which looks reasonable, but I know even less about its reputation than about jBCrypt's.

The ethics of SEO
http://yoast.com/ethics-seo/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ethics-seo
The type of SEO I help my clients do and promote to you using this blog is often labeled white hat SEO because it stays within Google's and other search engines guidelines. Other SEO's don't care about Google's guidelines as much and do what's called "black hat SEO". Far too often though, black hat SEO is confused with the hacking of sites and the use of other tactics not outside the laws of Google but the laws of our lands. I think it's time for me to explain where I stand in this.

Show HN: RJU – Browser extension for hackable Reddit theming
https://github.com/dan-lovelace/reddit-json-ui
Hey HN! Wanted to share my weekend project Reddit JSON UI. It's a browser extension for hackers that want to create their own theme for Reddit pages.

It allows total customization through use of HTML templates and CSS. It's not yet on any extension stores as there is still much to be done but was interested in getting early feedback before submitting. It supports Manifest versions 2 and 3 which means it is both Firefox and Chrome compatible. The code is open source on GitHub and would likely serve as a good starting point for anyone else wanting to build a complex cross-browser extension. There's also a type system that converts Reddit JSON to TypeScript that is still very early stage but again, perhaps useful to someone else working in a similar area.

If you'd like to check it out, there are local installation instructions in the README as well as a starting theme for HackerNews in the templates directory. I'm happy to answer any questions or issues, feel free to open a ticket in GitHub.

Also, if you're interested in contributing, please reach out in GitHub. Cheers!

Is The Big Bang Theory Producing More Physics Majors?
http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/12/06/is-the-big-bang-theory-producing-more-physics-majors/
According to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), there was a 10% increase in the number of students accepted to read physics by the university admissons services between 2008-09, when The Big Bang Theory was first broadcast in the UK, and 2010-11. Numbers currently stand at 3,672. Applications for physics courses at university are also up more than 17% on last year. Philip Walker, an HEFCE spokesman, said the recent spate of popular televisions services had been influential but was hard to quantify.

Does Tomcat bite more than it can chew?
http://esbmagic.blogspot.com/2012/10/does-tomcat-bite-more-than-it-can-chew.html
How does Tomcat behave under a level of load that it cannot handle? One would expect connections to be refused - so that a load balancer in front can fail-over to another instance. But in reality one would see connections being established and subsequently reset, even after sending a partial or full request by the client, making it difficult for fail-over, especially when non-idempotent service calls are being made.

"Merchant adoption is not THE barrier to Bitcoin commerce - it’s the lack of incentive to spend."

Accepting Bitcoin from a merchant perspective is a brain dead decision. "Save over 50% on your transaction costs" is an easy sales pitch. Convincing people to spend bitcoins - that's the real challenge.

Steve Jobs Anecdotes and the Impact of Adobe’s Open Screen Project on IP
http://ipinsiders.com/profiles/blogs/steve-jobs-anecdotes-and-the-impact-of-adobe-s-open-screen-projec
An interview with Dave McAllister, Director of Open Source at Adobe Systems. Dave McAllister outlines the ongoing Apple v. Adobe/Flash Player v. HTML5 dispute - or creative difference and offers his personal view on the future of Flash. He looks at what’s new for Adobe, touching upon the reach of open development that Adobe is embracing, such as Flex, Brackets, and Phonegap – and the impact of open code and development on innovation He explains the borders of openness, the potential risks when tying open innovation to business strategies. He specifically outlines how more and more opened economy affects intellectual property protection (IP) and how to tie IP protection strategies with open innovation business strategies. He offers some exclusive reflections on his work with Steve Jobs: “He honestly was one of the most futuristic geniuses I've ever seen, able to figure the directions for the broad-based consumer and the high-end prosumer.”
Are You Making This Startup Mistake?
http://upandrunning.entrepreneur.com/2007/09/16/are-you-making-this-startup-mistake/
As you develop your startup, whether it's explicitly in your business plan or not (and probably not, given what a plan is), take the time to define success. What's important to you? Is business the only thing, or is business a means to an end. Does having your own business mean you don't have a family, or a vacation, or other things that are important to you.
