Google leads the day with their announcement of the Chromecast 2 and Chromecast Audio, as reported by TechCrunch. I love my Chromecast, and it is possible that I will now be getting another one. Michael Erasmus talks about TF-IDF in his 10 minute tutorial. For anyone implementing search strategies on some collection of documents, this is highly useful. Two security articles should be reviewed today as well. The Next Web reports on a WinRAR flaw, which you need to look at if you use it. PC World talks about a Linux botnet launching DDoS attacks.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
