In the last three or four Drupal projects I have been involved with it seems that clients are requesting more and more video as part of their content. Video it seems has become so integrated with how we consume content that it is everywhere. Sites like Vimeo, YouTube, and Blip are readily available to stream embedded videos to our site with a simple piece of HTML.

Yesterday, Wine When Where hit the iTunes store and is now available for download. The idea of the application is based around the idea that we all like wine in some way shape or form, but you cannot always remember where or when you had that one good wine. Now you can using Wine When Where, simply pull the app out and snap a photo of the wine, give it a name, a rating, viola, you have now saved your wine to your local repository to view it any time you want.

Yesterday, a major update to one of my favorite Linux distributions started hitting the public mirrors for download. After about a month of testing and building, the CentOS 7 general release is up and ready for download. The current build is only for a desktop environment, but other builds are also on the way for docker, cloud images, and the minimal release.

On Wednesday a pretty shocking bit of news came out of the Docker camp revealing the ability to gain access to the host machine using an exploit called the “Docker container breakout.” The exploit was written by Sebastian Krahmer and was posted to the Exploit Database on June 18th.
