• Kanzure mentioned that Octopart is now offering lifecycle data (like "end-of-life" alerts) for electronic components, and wondered if that includes replacement recommendations.

• A link to Open Ephys was shared (http://open-ephys.org/blog/2013/7/25/jhz6fxuebyn4iuwubm6z37rqpg405q), which is likely related to open-source neuroscience tools and hardware.

• A Google+ post by Larry Page was shared and noted as "nice" by a user, though the specific content wasn't described in the log.

• Kanzure shared information about STACK (http://css.csail.mit.edu/stack/), a code quality analysis tool that works at the compiler level by analyzing code produced by LLVM, as used in the stepcode project.

• Several academic papers were requested through paperbot, though there were issues with the libgen service not working properly at the time.

• There was a brief mention of "smali" help, which likely refers to the intermediate language used for representing Android app code.
