Google leads the day with the announcement from their cultural institute about 1000 museums at your fingertips. The coolest part is that you can zoom into the images so far that you can see the brushstrokes. ThreatPost reports on a serious Linux kernel vulnerability and its patch. High Scalability has an interesting post on scaling the latest ad campaign for David Guetta.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
