Computers

From Paul Gil, your About Computers Editor

Starting in February this year, Google changed its rules for cataloging websites. With a new formula that has been nicknamed Panda/Farmer, Google now penalizes websites that it considers to be 'content farms' or 'link farms'. This controversial shift has hurt many websites' traffic numbers. If you're a web publisher, definitely read more about post-Panda reality below.

House & Home

From Diane Schmidt, your About House & Home Editor

Every summer relatives descend on our home for at least a couple of weeks, usually with a few kids and sometimes even pets, in tow.

Like transforming my husband's office into a spare bedroom and my work area into a restful sleeping space that can hold at least a couple of kids. Help!

Our guest bedroom is hideous. It looks like a first-year dorm room with it's icky green walls and mismatched furniture. I've tasked my husband with updating this space. At first he protested, until I sent him this article - now he can't wait to get started.

Today

From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor

Yesterday it was so hot, I stopped looking at the weather app on my phone, because I just didn't want to know. I am not a hot weather person. In fact, I am a person who responds so poorly to hot weather that people frequently stop me on the street during July and August, just to ask me if I'm OK.

Calculator: How Much Water Do You Need?

I usually am OK, but boy, am I thirsty. It's hard to know exactly how much water to drink when it gets that hot out.

How Much Water Should Kids Drink?

Kids are generally braver about the heat than adults are. They just sort of wipe the sweat off their brows and continue being pirates or whatever. Which is another good reason to make sure they get enough water. (Nothing worse than a dehydrated pirate.)

I was going to use the title "Speed Test" but I didn't want to give the impression Basem actually went 172 miles per hour. So, yeah, the Cayenne sounds awesome. And once you tell your husband or wife what you spent, there'll be room in the back to take 'em over to the hospital.

From Chad Bowar, your About Music Editor

Summer means more time for fun and leisure, and hopefully more time to listen to your favorite music. It's also a great time to seek out new music, and you've come to the right place as our music guides have plenty of suggestions.

New R&B Albums: July 2011

This month has some well-known names putting out new music, with the biggest of those names being Brian McKnight, who drops a CD/DVD combo this month that includes a disc of all-new songs, plus a concert disc. Also on the list is Kelly Rowland, who's new project, Here I Am, features the hottest song she's had in years, "Motivation," featuring Lil Wayne.

Best New Bands Of 2011

"New" is obviously a subjective --if not loaded-- term, especially in a year in which The Guardian's New Band of the Day column featured Destroyer, nine albums and 15 years' worth of "new." So, for this list, we tried to take a hard-line stance that didn't just equate 'new' with 'breakout,' or, indeed, 'new to me.' Most of these acts had released little-to-no music b'fore 2011, and certainly hadn't found anything resembling hype.

40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room Review

The debut album by 40 Watt Sun, The Inside Room, is extraordinary. In a year already rich in excellent releases, The Inside Room shines much brighter than a 40-watt bulb. With all the emotiveness needed to cut a listener to the quick, and none of the drag that often mires the subgenre in muck, this album is nothing short of a doom metal triumph.

About Programming: SECTION Element, Enterprise Library

2011-07-12T11:19:00.000-07:00

If you can't see this email, click here

Programming

From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor

Hello Programmers!

This week we are looking at the SECTION element in web design. We also look at Microsoft's enterprise library, and a JDK7 release candidate. Finally we take a look at how to get the next node in JavaScript.

Have a great week!

Understanding the SECTION Element

When you use the new HTML5 SECTION element, you are defining the content as being a "section" of the page. This is different from the ARTICLE or DIV. Learn more about the SECTION element and how to use it correctly to define semantic sections of your content.

Microsoft's Enterprise Library

If you haven't started taking advantage of the Enterprise Library, your first reaction might be, "Where have you been all my life?" After all, we're up to version 5.0 and it shows all the signs of being a mature and reliable part of your software toolkit.

See More About: enterprise library patterns and practices code library

Get Next Node

JavaScript isn't just limited to searching the entire web page for a specific node or nodelist. Once you actually have a node you can navigate from there to the nodes around it such as the one immediately following it at the same level.

JDK 7 Release Candidate Released

The Release Candidate (build b147) of JDK 7 has been released and available to download. If all goes according to plan and no show-stoppers appear, it should make the general availability milestone on the 28th July, 2011.

From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor

This week, the final Harry Potter movie is hitting theatres. That means, of course, that we've come to the end of new Harry Potter releases. *Sniffle*

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' Book Review

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, aka "Book 7," was split into two separate movies. The first movie came out last November, and the second is imminent. Before you go to see it in the theatre, though, why not give the book one final read? It shouldn't take you too long -- it's only about 750 pages long.

How Did 'HP7 Part 1' Measure up to the Book?

Readers share their opinions (and you can, too!) about how closely the first Deathly Hallows movie matched up to the book. Was it worth the suspense? And how will the final movie be?

'The Deathly Hallows, Part II' Movie Information

So this is it. The final chapters of the final movie of the final book. I'm thinking that bringing some tissues along when you go to see the movie might be a wise choice.

If You Like Harry Potter...

Now that there is officially no new Harry Potter to be had, fans will be needing something else to read. Here are some fantastic classics that will keep you and your kids reading for quite some time.
