Real-time processing is when a program or operating system is fast enough that it can guarantee a reaction to data within a tight, real-world deadline. Typically, real-time computing delivers results from microseconds (one millionth of a second) to milliseconds (one thousandth of a second). Real-time applications that take things down to microsecond latency are stock market’s high-frequency trading (HFT) applications.

To say I’m a Twitter addict (@WhatTheBit) would be a bit of an understatement. Whenever I have a few seconds to kill, I scroll through my timeline.

The security measures that Twitter has to avoid this type of users are few because we only have a report button, which has no effect.
