It notes that keeping applications in-house allows MySpace to maintain control over the user experience, ensure profits directly benefit MySpace, and preserve its differentiation from other social networks. In contrast, using OpenSocial would cause MySpace to lose exclusivity and control over applications. The document recommends MySpace continue using its in-house application strategy to protect its business model and unique identity.

The document discusses augmented reality in Flash using FLARToolKit. It begins with definitions of augmented reality and an overview of FLARToolKit. It then provides step-by-step instructions to create a basic "Hello World" augmented reality demo in Flash, including downloading and setting up the necessary libraries and files. Additional sections describe how to use animated 3D objects, create custom markers, and develop more advanced demos with multiple markers or real-world applications. The document concludes by noting pros and cons of augmented reality in Flash and suggestions for further development.
Flash is currently the most popular interactive platform on the web and desktop via Adobe AIR, and is gaining popularity on mobile devices with Flash 10.1. While no mature alternatives currently exist, the future of Flash includes new technologies like 3D Molehill and increased openness and collaboration between organizations. People can get involved globally by following developers on Twitter and RSS or locally through Vietnamese Flash communities, user groups, and blogs.
This document discusses the pros and cons of MySpace using its own in-house applications versus using the open-source platform OpenSocial. It notes that keeping applications in-house allows MySpace to maintain control over the applications, adhere to its own policies, and retain all profits from the applications. In contrast, using OpenSocial would cause MySpace to lose differentiation from other social networks and control over how application data is used and shared. The document recommends that MySpace continues using exclusively in-house applications to preserve its differentiation strategy and ensure profits remain under its control.

Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is usually cheaper than buying from a breeder or pet store. Many pets end up in shelters because their owners were unprepared for the responsibilities of caring for them. Each year, hundreds of animals have to be euthanized in shelters because there are not enough homes available. Adopting helps reduce pet overpopulation and prevents animals from suffering or facing euthanasia.

Logistic Regression: Predicting The Chances Of Coronary Heart DiseaseMichael Lieberman
Logistic regression is used to predict the probability of an event occurring based on multiple predictor variables. This document discusses using logistic regression to predict the risk of coronary heart disease based on factors like smoking, cholesterol levels, body mass index, gender, age, and physical activity. It finds that smoking and high cholesterol levels are the highest risk factors for heart disease. The odds ratio is used to interpret the results, showing smokers have a 2.4 times higher risk than non-smokers. Examples estimate an inactive smoker's risk at 18% over 10 years, versus practically no risk for a healthy older man.
