Facebook Buys Instagram, Checks Off A Swath of 2012 Predictions In One Move

John Battelle's Searchblog

Waaaay back in January, I rolled out my annual predictions. Thanks to our pals at Facebook, a few of them are now pretty much in the bag. I may have to start doing these things monthly, given the pace of our industry. Prediction #5 was that it’d be a big year for Internet M&A. I further singled out Instagram as a company that would likely be bought, and figured there’d be a battle between Twitter, Apple, Facebook, and Google for the prize.

Lowering barriers to entry for digital preservation – a Q&A from the cloud

Preservica

The cloud has driven down the cost of ownership of IT systems enabling smaller organisations the ability to access services that were previously only available to the global 1000. Can the cloud do the same for digital preservation? Tessella’s head of digital archiving Mark Evans explored these issues at PASIG 2012 which took place in January in Austin TX.

Incorporating emulation into a business-as-usual digital preservation workflow.

Preservica

Great piece by Euan Cochrane on his blog ( [link] ). We have just finished working on the KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable) project. However, you are correct to say that most efforts have been focussed on migration: and we have a number of migration (and characterisation) tools supported in our Safety Deposit Box (SDB) solution. However, as part of KEEP we did add in an end-to-end emulation workflow to SDB as well.

To give it a whirl, you'll need a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 (beta at time of writing), and a 64-bit build of vsftpd. Why all the excitement? vsftpd has always piled on all of the Linux sandboxing / privilege facilities available, including chroot, capabilities, file descriptor passing, pid / network / etc. namespaces, rlimits, and even a ptrace-based de
