POPSExploratory testing techniques Exploratory testing techniques are approach to software program testing that is concisely described as simultaneous learning, test design and test execution. Cem Kaner, who coined the term in 1983 , now defines exploratory test as "a style of computer software testing that emphasizes the personal freedom and responsibility of the individual tester to continually optimize the quality of his/her work by treating test-related learning, test design, test execution, and test result interpretation as mutually supportive activities that run in parallel throughout the project."

POPSThere is Now a Scientific Way to Measure Smelly Farts "The contraption could even have use outside of fraternity houses, Clain says, as a biosensor for harmful hydrogen-sulfide-producing bacteria in hospitals. Or dentists could use it to measure oral malodor. They’ve also received some interest from doctors with four-legged patients. “You can test the health of livestock through the quality of their farts,” Salas says. “Smell and sound can tell you a lot about their bowel movements.” When it came time to present the invention in class, though, Clain and Salas had to test their detector by making raspberry sounds and breathing on it—human exhalations contain enough hydrogen sulfide to trigger the sensor. “It’s hard to fart something really smelly on command,” Clain laments. “Besides, it provided a nicer atmosphere for those around us.” Still, their professor saw fit to award the project a well-deserved A."

POPSRobot Teaches Itself to Smile To begin teaching the robot, the researchers stuck Einstein in front of a mirror and instructed the robot to “body babble” by contorting its face into random positions. A video camera connected to facial recognition software gave the robot feedback: When it made a movement that resembled a “real” expression, it received a reward signal.

POPSI found the definitive stuff for Midi Music A very good free software write a source code and it gives you the beautiful part in PDF and the midi file that goes with it... Not everybody will like it, it's not wysiwyg, need more time of adaptation than a graphical sequencer but at the end probably more powerful at least for partition printing.

POPSBuilding a machine that can learn from experience There's another requirement: The finished cognitive computer should be as small as a the brain of a small mammal and use as little power as a 100-watt light bulb. It's a major challenge. But it's what our brains do every day. "Value systems or reward systems are important aspects," he said. "Learning is crucial because it needs to learn from experience just like we do." It won't be an easy task, says Tononi, a veteran of earlier efforts to create cognitive computers. Even the brains of the smallest mammals are quite impressive when you consider what tasks they perform with a relatively small volume and energy input. "I would be happy to create a mouse brain," Tononi says. "A mouse brain is quite remarkable. And from there, it shouldn't be too hard to scale up to a rat brain, and then a cat or monkey brain."

POPSGoogle's Secret Weapon: MapReduce As the inventors of MapReduce noted in a recent paper, "It has been used across a wide range of domains within Google including: large-scale machine learning problems; clustering problems...; extracting data to produce reports of popular queries; extracting properties of Web pages for new experiments and products...; processing of satellite imagery data; language model processing for statistical machine translation, and; large-scale graph computation." Or in other words, the tasks Google performs are similar to the functions performed by the brain: learning, categorization, vision and language.

POPSMoodle Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a University with 200,000 students. This site itself is created using Moodle, so check out the Moodle Demonstration Courses or read the latest Moodle Buzz.

POPSExcellent list of open-source alternatives to commercial programs I've used both the commercial and open-source programs listed on this page and have to agree with most of the choices listed here. If you can't find what you need from this list, it should at least provide a good starting point for beginning to explore the open-source and free software alternatives that are out there.

POPSProgramming for Artists With Processing, instead of writing programs, you make sketches. It's amazing what you can do with just a few lines of code. Tons of examples come with the free IDE. Not just for producing art, serious applications are made with it, some for use in the film industry. Java based and open source. Pretty cool

POPSMark Shuttleworth - Space Man Of course Ubuntu/Linux is my latest preoccupation (apart from clipmarks) and when I read he was behind it, and was described as an 'Entrepreneur' so I had to find out more. There are more than a few types of 'Entrepreneur' when I saw that a few years ago he was most famous for going with the Russians to the International Space Station, (It's easy to forget much of what happened more than 7 years ago) I thought it would even have made the Russians laugh, and that isn't easy. He's involved in community projects in South Africa, concerning Education and free software, to allow greater access to learning, and computer technology. He's also been to Antarctica aboard a Russian Icebreaker.

POPSYouTube uses Python as Language of Choice I use Ubuntu Linux on my computer and I was looking for a programming language to start learning. There are many to choose from, Python, Perl, C/C++, Java, etc... The one I want to start with is called Python. What's neat is over at Python.org I found out that YouTube uses Python to make changes and such to their website (and or servers). I just thought this was neat.
