Medieval Copy Protection

An anonymous reader writes “In medieval times a ‘book curse’ was often included on the inside cover or on the last leaf of a manuscripts, warning away anyone who might do the book some harm. Here’s a particularly pretty one from Yale’s Beinecke MS 214: ‘In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen. In the one thousand two hundred twenty-ninth year from the incarnation of our Lord, Peter, of all monks the least significant, gave this book to the [Benedictine monastery of the] most blessed martyr, St. Quentin. If anyone should steal it, let him know that on the Day of Judgment the most sainted martyr himself will be the accuser against him before the face of our Lord Jesus Christ.'”

TweetDeck is an Adobe Air desktop application that is currently in public beta. It aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking an abundance of information i.e twitter feeds, and breaking it down into more manageable bite sized pieces.

TweetDeck enables users to split their main feed (All Tweets) into topic or group specific columns allowing a broader overview of tweets. To do this All Tweets are saved to a local database.

The far left column will always contain All Tweets. The REPLIES, GROUP, and SEARCH buttons then allow the user to easily make up additional columns populated from the database.”
