    "I Had Four CEOs!": Speaking of prison terms, Josh Topolsky scored an interview with Jon Rubinstein on his way out of the door from HP. Rubinstein tries — and fails — to hold back his contempt for the past few HP regimes. It reads like he and fellow HP VP Todd Bradley had a grand plan (this one, perhaps?) for HP/webOS that disintegrated when then-CEO Mark Hurd was ousted. That, of course, kickstarted months of turmoil and turnover, highlighted by the disastrous Leo Apotheker reign (which didn’t even last a year). The notion that Rubinstein’s exit was planned all along sure smells…

  • Next-generation Vehicle Protection Jammer protects against IEDs

    27 Jan 2012 | 5:54 pm
    Improvised Explosive Devices, or IEDs, are one of the largest sources of coalition casualties in Iraq. Many of these IEDs take the form of roadside bombs, which are hidden on or alongside a road, then detonated when a moving vehicle passes near them. While there is more than one way of causing these bombs to detonate, they are often set off by a hidden human observer, using a radio-control device. Forces using the new Vehicle Protection Jammer from EADS subsidiary Cassidian, however, should find themselves at a greatly-reduced risk of such attacks... Continue Reading Next-generation Vehicle…

    If you're not smiling in your Facebook photo, your life is probably going to suck in four years time. Reseachers J. Patrick Seder and Shigehiro Oishi at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville discovered that smile intensity from a single Facebook profile photo in the first semester of college predicted self-reported life satisfaction three and a half years later, at the time of college graduation. This type of study isn't actually unique to Facebook, however. A 2011 study by Harker and Keltner showed that female students smiling in their college graduation yearbook photos from 1958 and…

  • Third Critical Rambus Patent Invalidated, Nvidia Vindicated

    27 Jan 2012 | 6:37 pm
    U.S. Patent # 6,591,353, "Protocol for Communication with Dynamic Memory," tends to refer to a "memory device." The innovation with respect to this device appeared to be the introduction of a synchronous clock. That way, time-multiplexed transfers could take place in a regulated fashion. But as USPTO documents published today show, the appeals judges found that two existing patents cited by Nvidia qualify as prior art, and moreover, that the teachings demonstrated by those older patents would be inspiration enough for a skilled artisan to apply the teachings to improving synchronous memory…

    So, we've shot down SOPA and PIPA. Congratulations Internets for a job well done. Mission accomplished, right? Not so much. While that's two bad pieces of legislation pushed back, there's much more where that came from. Leaving aside existing nastiness like the DMCA, we also have the even nastier Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) (PDF). How bad is it? Bad enough that the European Parliament's rapporteur for ACTA (Kader Arif) resigned over it today (January 27, 2012). Unfortunately for those of us in the United States, President Obama has already ratified ACTA on behalf of the United…

    As mobile becomes normal for the Web, location becomes key. The next phase of location apps are live, right there with the user as she goes about her business. When it comes to mapping the outside world, the space is pretty crowded. It's hard to argue with Google Maps, whose free consumer service powers the maps on both dominant smartphone platforms. For businesses, it's crucial to be on the map, and Google Places can't be overlooked. But there's another frontier of mobile mapping that matters, and the exploration has just begun.

    OK, now this sounds nifty: Microsoft is experimenting with building its Kinect gesture-input system into notebook computers running Windows 8, says The Daily’s Matt Hickey:   A source at Microsoft has confirmed that the devices are indeed official prototypes of laptops featuring a Kinect sensor. In terms of functionality, there are hundreds of different ways that motion control could be leveraged in a portable. Gaming has the most obvious applications, but a Kinect-enabled laptop could also toggle between programs with the wave of a hand, or media controls could be tweaked with the…

As Mashable reports, the Nintendo Network will offer the requisite connected console fare, including user accounts, online multiplayer, downloadable add-ons and eventually full game downloads.

  • More About the Apple Cult (Even Though I Said It Was Time to Stop Talking About It)

    Harry McCracken
    27 Jan 2012 | 3:16 am
    Over at TIME.com, my Technologizer column for this week is about the theory that people who buy Apple products act like cult members. As the theory would have it, they snap up Macs, iPhones, and iPads not because they’re good products, but because they’re mesmerized by Apple advertising and think that owning the company’s products makes them better human beings. Or something like that. My take is that the theory was always silly–and that it’s particularly nonsensical in an age in which truly vast numbers of people are buying Apple products. The company’s…

    When Netflix backtracked on its plans to spin off DVD rentals into a separate company called Qwikster, the company didn’t say whether it would still add video game rentals to its mail-order service, as announced along with the spin-off. Now, it’s official: Netflix will not rent video games, or at least it has “no plans” to do so, CEO Reed Hastings said in an earnings call. He did not elaborate. Netflix had planned to rent video games as an optional upgrade for movie renters. The news excited me because both GameFly and Blockbuster have trouble sending out the newest…

    Although posting an image onto Facebook of yourself swinging from a chandelier may not be a wise decision, I think we can all agree that posting photos of yourself with the $8,000 you just robbed from a convenience store is incredibly stupid. There's certainly been no shortage of foolish criminals being nabbed after logging on to social media sites to boast of their crimes, so it's natural that law enforcement agencies have been upping their efforts to monitor these websites. But just in case state and local agencies don't spook criminals into wising up, maybe the feds can. Full story at…

    I first encountered 955 Dreams about a year ago when I came across a magical iPad app called The History of Jazz. When I sat down with co-founder Kiran Bellubbi to talk about the app for a TechCrunch story, it was immediately apparent that his vision extended far beyond just one beautiful app.  I kicked off my story with something he said to me: “The shallow experience for a user has to be very interesting. The deep experiences have to be profound.” In the app-crazy world we live in, it’s not uncommon to hear developers attempt to get philosophical. But with Bellubbi, I totally bought…

On this you have my word.” - Tim Cook responding to the NYT piece about awful working conditions in Chinese factories where many Apple products are assembled.  It’s not a response to the press, it’s a response to the Apple team, which Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac was able to get ahold of.  It’s a good response, and the right one.

    Ruby Released: Jon Rubinstein, the former CEO of Palm (and former Apple executive), has left HP. With Palm hardware now dead and webOS now open-sourced, the writing has been on the wall for this to happen for a while. To hear HP tell it, this was the plan all along. As Arik Hesseldahl writes: Rubinstein is said to have no immediate plans, and had completed a 12-24 month commitment to stay with HP after the acquisition. “Jon has fulfilled his commitment and we wish him well,” HP spokeswoman Mylene Mangalindan said. Sounds almost like a prison term.

    A lot of people have asked for my take on The New York Times piece yesterday about the true cost of making Apple products in China. Let me first just say that it’s an important piece full of good reporting by Charles Duhigg and David Barboza. Parts of it are very sad — sickening, really. But let’s be honest. The post focuses on Apple because Apple is now arguably the most successful company on the planet. If they were, say, the 8th largest computer manufacturer, they probably wouldn’t have even been mentioned. Again, that’s not to say it shouldn’t have been written — it…

    There used to be a time when I would go to tech industry events, trade shows, internal company meetings, etc. and I was one of the few in the room with a Mac. I took great pride in that fact, but now the Mac is gaining everywhere. It’s in schools, hospitals, labs, construction sites, restaurants, consumers’ homes, coffee shops, and now increasingly in the enterprise. With this observation in mind it should come as no shock that Apple blew the doors off their latest earnings and recorded all time sales of Macs.

  • Where Have All The Profits Gone? Gone to Apple, Every One

    Steve Wildstrom
    25 Jan 2012 | 7:43 am
    A few years ago, folks in tech used to worry that all the profits in the PC industry were being scarfed up by Microsoft and Intel and that the crumbs left to PC makers would be insufficient to fund any innovation. For companies not named Apple, those were the good old days. Apple’s  blowout December quarter was stunning enough viewed in isolation. But it is even more striking in comparison to the rest of the industry. Apple’s revenues of $46.2 billion blew past Hewlett-Packard’s $32.3 billion to make it the industry leader by sales. But the real story is profits.

    The Republican presidential candidacy is still far from decided, based on the split primaries and mixed polls so far. So here’s another source for trying to figure who’s really pulling ahead — the number of new Facebook fans that each candidate is getting, according to the Inside Facebook Election Tracker. Mitt Romney is finally making some strong gains this month, in contrast to his Facebook performance over December. By “strong gains” I mean he’s been attracting a roughly similar number of fans to Ron Paul, the candidate who normally dominates on the web…

Of the 10 million Kinects out there, the only ones connected to computers are the ones being fiddled with by the various hackers and students making science projects out the things.

  • Four Unfortunate Ways Twitter Is Killing Tweetdeck

    hilzfuld
    12 Dec 2011 | 1:23 am
    By: Hillel Fuld Twitter, as a company, has made its share of mistakes over the years. These include implementing its own retweeting system that makes it significantly more difficult to see how many people retweeted you and who they are (not to mention the fact that when I use the Twitter retweet, I can’t add my two cents to the original tweet, it all kind of defeats the purpose), the Twitter URL shortening service, which seems to break more links than it shortens, or many others. But the good news was that with all these issues, I always had Tweetdeck to fall back on. Then Twitter…

I wrote a review of the book and if you can only read one post, this one or that one, read my review. Of course, what made the book so amazing was not just my love for technology or Apple products, nor was it my admiration for Steve Jobs, it was the story of a man filled with contradictions who ended up revolutionizing anywhere between seven and nine industries, depending who you ask. One of the more entertaining parts of the book was the story of Jobs’…

  • Knowledge Is A Universal Natural Resource -- And Locking It Up Hurts Everyone

    Mike Masnick
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:39 pm
    One of the more important points in understanding some of the fights over the ridiculousness of today's copyright and patent laws is to recognize how knowledge (information) is a natural resource. It is the input that makes other great things. Economist Paul Romer's famous research really showed how knowledge and information as a resource is what creates economic growth. Once you recognize that fact, you begin to run into problems when you think about locking up that natural resource. Think of other natural resources. Do we think the world is better off if there's a greater supply of each of…

    Back in 2010, we wrote about an attempt to sue the website TheDirty.com for libel... in which the lawyer for the site accidentally sued a different site, called TheDirt.com. This resulted in some hilarity with a bogus default judgment and plenty of confusion. We joked how, given the similarities in the names of those sites to Techdirt, perhaps we should be happy that we weren't sued as well. However, once all the mistakes were realized, the case did shift to actually suing TheDirty.com's owner. TheDirty is (1) not safe for work and (2) not a particularly nice site.

On Thursday morning, I took part in a press briefing about the SOPA/PIPA fight (this was before it had been shelved, but after the web blackouts) at the US Capitol. I was actually heading to the airport soon after, so I had checked out of my hotel, and had put the metal water canteen that I use in my bag. It was empty, knowing that I'd have to…

In that post, we noted that even Nimblebit's game was hardly the first such game out there, and now (as pointed out in our comments), someone decided to take the format of Nimblebit's letter, and redo it as a letter to Nimblebit about the other games that inspired Nimblebit's game. The tone is a little snarky -- and to be honest, I never got the feeling from the original that Nimblebit was claiming that it, too, wasn't inspired by others. Still, this really does show the…

But would users care so much if Facebook gave them a cut of the profits it generates by selling their data? Think about it like Plink’s new loyalty program that rewards consumers with Facebook Credits for eating at certain restaurants, only in reverse. I suggested this Thursday as a possibility for empowering users across the web, generally, but Facebook (and maybe Google) actually seems like the perfect company to pull it off.

  • Plasmonic cloak makes objects invisble, but only in the microwave region of the spectrum

    Daniel Cooper
    28 Jan 2012 | 2:39 am
    Okay, so we're not up to USS Pegasus levels yet, but for the first time researchers have been able to cloak a three dimensional object. Don't start planning your first trip to the Hogwarts library restricted section just yet though, the breakthrough is only in the microwave region of the EM spectrum. Using a shell of plasmonic materials, it's possible to create a "photo negative" of the object being cloaked in order to make it disappear. The technique is different to the use of metamaterials, which try to bounce light around the object. Instead, plasmonics try to deceive the light as to…

  • Tamron and Kenko bring third-party glass to the Micro Four Thirds bash

    28 Jan 2012 | 12:27 am
    The fresh trend of Micro Four Thirds shooters is on the rise, thus it shouldn't come as a surprise that more glass-makers are jumping on the MFT bandwagon. Joining the likes of Panasonic, Olympus and Kodak as part of the Micro Four Thirds Group, is a trifecta of third-party lens manufacturers: Tamron, Kenko Tokina and ASTRODESIGN. Following closely behind rival Sigma, the newcomers are looking to make a dent in the four-thirds universe. Better late than never, right? There's still no sign of these optics being available for you to stack in your camera bag, but the news just came in, so it…

  • IBM builds 9 nanometer carbon nanotube transistor, puts silicon on notice

    Michael Gorman
    27 Jan 2012 | 10:34 pm
    It's not the smallest transistor out there, but the boffins at IBM have constructed the tiniest carbon nanotube transistor to date. It's nine nanometers in size, making it one nanometer smaller than the presumed physical limit of silicon transistors. Plus, it consumes less power and is able to carry more current than present-day technology. The researchers accomplished the trick by laying a nanotube on a thin layer of insulation, and using a two-step process -- involving some sort of black magic, no doubt -- to add the electrical gates inside. The catch? (There's always a catch) Manufacturing…

  • Shocker! New RIM CEO targets existing BlackBerry users for upgrades

    All of new RIM CEO Thorsten Heins' fresh ideas will apparently still be revealed to the company's board in a couple of weeks, but he's already dropped some gems in interviews with the Wall Street Journal and Reuters (update: and Bloomberg). First item on the agenda? Getting current users upgraded to the latest and greatest BlackBerry hardware. Citing internal statistics that indicate 80- to 90- percent of the company's customer base aren't running BlackBerry 7 hardware yet, it will work closely with US carriers to promote upgrades until the new BB10 devices hit later this year.

Not so if Apple has their way, perhaps some time down the road. It seems that Apple did apply for a patent which details a system that employs coded magnets and ferrofluids, resulting in haptic feedback on a touchscreen or virtual keyboard. For example, a coded magnet could be activated when a proximity sensor detects a finger approaching a touchpad or other surface…

In fact, Apple managed to touch 23.9% of the global smartphone market share in Q4 last year, just edging past Samsung’s 23.5% share.

Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not occur in nature. Plasmonic metamaterials are negative index metamaterials, meaning they are, in essence, invisible at a certain frequency range.

Sales of its 3DS portable gaming platform were disappointing and its top-selling but flagging Wii console is now caught between the groundbreaking, motion-sensing version introduced in 2006 and the refreshed Wii U due sometime this year. That has led to sagging figures for the Kyoto, Japan-based company, which reported its first loss this week since it began reporting numbers in 1981. For the fiscal year ending in March, Nintendo expects to be down $264 million, according to Bloomberg news. The company forecast $9.8 billion in revenue, revised…

    Collaboration is a word that gets used in the business world a lot.  We want people to share their thoughts, ideas, and musings in real time in the hopes that we can achieve accelerated performance or innovation.  Way before technology came along, people collaborated in person, or maybe even slowly through the mail, so this concept is nothing new.  What is fresh are the technology tools the Internet has spawned that help us all collaborate much faster, better and cheaper. The fact that the Internet connects people instantly, and for free, across the globe, improved the potential of the…

    We have quite a cast of characters in the Republican presidential race this time around. Newt Gingrich is especially intriguing to me because he is a historian bytraining. He states that this skill allows him to know how Washington works and that is an advantage for us all if he gets elected. I have given some thought to this because Newt is clearly a smart person with a great command of the past, the facts, and the realities of Washington. The question that comes to mind for me is, as aleader, how much does the skill of looking backwards help a leader? There are really only three timeframes…

    I often comment that technology is just a tool.  It’s not magic, nor mysterious, it is just a tool.  I do admit that some aspects can be complicated, and if one adds together all the technology we face in life, it can get overwhelming.  However, it is just a tool in the end, but a very powerful tool to be sure.  Those who master it have a distinct advantage over those who do not.  We all choose to what extent we invest time into adding technology skills to our lives – be that social tools, devices, software applications, or operating systems. The scary thing is that most people lack…

    A key challenge IaaS providers face when building a cloud infrastructure is managing physical and virtual resources, namely servers, storage, and networks, in a holistic fashion. The orchestration of resources must be performed in a way to rapidly and dynamically provision resources to applications. The software toolkit responsible for this orchestration is called a virtual infrastructure manager (VIM). This type of software resembles a traditional operating system—but instead of dealing with a single computer, it aggregates resources from multiple computers, presenting a uniform view to…

We long ago gave up on our local cable monopoly, so its use is split between digging through the increasingly meager offerings of online video rental services and watching a screensaver-ified flow of our travel favorite photos. Sometimes maybe using the live 2D->3D conversion thing. I never said we weren't both dorks. That being said, the TV comes with, as most new TVs seem to, an app store. And it sucks. By gods, the…

  • Reflecting on Haiti, Disasters, and Technology

    16 Jan 2012 | 9:57 am
    Two years ago, in the aftermath of the January, 2010 earthquake, hackers and social activists led a charge and saved lives in Haiti from across the sea. Ushahidi remindes us of the scale of this by reposting a blog from the process. Re-reading this through me into a reflective state on how far ICT4D has come in the past few years, and how much more value it brings to the table. The initial, amazing outpouring of support for earthquake victims in Haiti was heartwarming. The worldwide aid response, not without some hiccups and valid criticism, went well. The one thread through the global…

    Not a very bloggy year, but I like to think I made up for quantity with quality. By far and away, the most popular post I wrote in 2011 was Privacy, Trust, NymWars, and Social Change, in which I tried to clarify why pseudonyms are valuable in online civic discourse. Coming in second, Monitoring and Evaluation is broken. Let's really break it. - a gripe on the somewhat depressing state of M&E, especially in the tech4dev world, based on a discussion at the DC Technology Salon. In third place, we have my calling on the #Occupy crowd to get beyond building sustainable tent cities and get down…

    A rant on the tight hold "overhead" has on nonprofit financials and giving decisions I wrote with my colleague is up on Co.Exist. An excerpt: When considering donations, people often make harsh assumptions about nonprofits that spend on marketing and overhead. But maybe those expenses means the organization is doing a good job? Every year around this time, a batch of articles comes out talking about how to maximize your year-end giving by focusing on nonprofits with super-low overhead, so you can rest assured that every cent you donate goes directly to the cause. But I’ve spent the better…

    Look. I'm going on vacation tomorrow. I have promised myself to keep my stress levels down, so this is as much as you'll hear from me about SOPA - those in favor of being able to randomly block any site have thus far not shown anything beyond a mindless, selfish, shortsighted and childish desire to make the Internet bend to their will. The Internet works because it bends to no one private interest, and serves us all. They're not even letting opposing viewpoints testify at the Congressional hearing: http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/sopa_testimony/?akid=1018.606560.JTkq.... If this is how…

    Resumen en español al final del artículo A team of students from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago has been working on a charging station for XO deployments in developing countries. Like the laptops themselves, the design needed to be rugged and inexpensive, but also simple enough to be reproduced in their area of deployment. Using a three-legged PVC structure, hardboard shelves, and dulled nails for support, the final cost of each charging station ended up being under $1.00 per XO when constructed in the US; and when using a simple jig, the construction time is under an hour…

Or more precisely (since at this level, technological progress is probably predetermined) what is going to kill them? Mostly not what they like to believe is killing them, filesharing. What’s going to kill movies and TV is what’s already killing them: better ways to entertain people. So the best way to approach this problem is to ask yourself: what are people going to do for fun in 20 years instead of what they do now? While it’s almost certain Hollywood’s relevance will…

Minimum taxes are Band-Aides for a flawed tax system. The solution is not to create a new penalty for firms that learn to manipulate the law, it is to fix the basic law in the first place. If Obama wants to prevent companies from gaming the system, he could lower the corporate rate and eliminate tax preferences.

Greg Mankiw explained why that is—nearly five years ago: Another piece of the puzzle is that Mr. Buffett’s tax burden is larger than it first appears, because he is a major shareholder in Berkshire Hathaway. When the C.B.O. studies the tax burden, it includes all federal taxes, including individual income taxes, payroll taxes and corporate income taxes. In its analysis, payroll taxes are borne by workers, and corporate taxes by the owners…

    So the Apple – Samsung patent saga is still on. As we had reported earlier, Samsung had sued Apple in Germany, claiming infringement of some of its telecom and 3G patents. Two of those patents were essential FRAND patents, which made it likely that Apple would be found infringing them.However, a week ago, Germany’s Mannheim Regional Court threw out a lawsuit by Samsung claiming patent infringement of a 3G/UMTS wireless patent by Apple, for reasons which weren’t very clear at the time of the ruling.Today, Samsung suffered yet another setback in its patent battles against…

    TweetI’ve recently started learning how to play the guitar and was looking at different bits of software I could get to help me with this. I was wondering if you could recommend a tuner for my guitar. Hi there, there are a number of these around, but I have come across one that’s free and should do everything you wanted to do. It’s the Audio Phonics Guitar Tuner and using proprietary pitch recognition technology, the program can find exact notes in less than 50ms latency. The recognition technology also adapts to the speed of the processor for smooth tracking. The program is…

    TweetI’ve noticed that a friend of mine has a really cool Facebook display with a picture at the top and a timeline of events. How can I change my account to do the same? The mode you’re talking about is called “Timeline” and it’s a funky new way of using Facebook. Getting it is extremely simple: To get timeline, simply go to the Introducing Timeline page and click Get It Now. There you go, as easy as pie. Much easier than making a welding cable stick to a wall, huh? I’ve been using Timeline for a few weeks now, and I’ve found it works well.

    TweetI have recently transferred all my photos to CD-Rs, with one disc for each topic. How long can I store them like this before transferring them to new discs? Having seen floppies become unusable over time, how do I ensure that there will always be a medium and method of saving these photos for posterity? This is a tricky one to answer because it depends on so many factors, such as the media quality, storage location and atmospheric conditions. Store a very cheaply manufactured CD-R in direct sunlight, for example, and the disc’s plastic surface may bow or bend in the heat and become…

Do you have any suggestions? Such problems are seldom due to a genuine incompatibility between a certain version of a web browser and a website. Much more likely is that the website is performing a check and has failed to recognise the new version of the browser you’re using. If this check can be bypassed, the site usually works perfectly well. To this end, some web browsers offer the ability to change…

Paint.NET is an impressive image-editing program that has all of the tools needed to repair and improve photos, without a price tag. Installation is simple, though Paint.NET requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. That means it won’t be long before you’re tweaking photos or making your for rent by owner sign. The interface is well laid out, more like Photoshop than the other popular free image editing tool…

    Foxconn Employee Says Next iPhone Coming 9to5 Mac reports that a source at Foxconn has information on the next iPhone. The device is not yet ready, but is likely to be launched this summer. There are a number of prototypes floating around and they all have slight differences, so it’s impossible to tell exactly what the specs for the next iPhone will be. Their source is the same one who foretold that the iPhone 5 was not coming last summer. Some of the common themes mentioned this time around: 4+ inch display (made by LG on at least one of them).

    The response to Washington’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) was so swift and powerful that it can really only be called a protest in the same way that a first-round Mike Tyson knockout can be considered a fight. In a flash, Google got seven million signatures, Wikipedia staged a self-imposed blackout and countless other sites, including our small operation, followed suit. People crammed the streets in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and D.C., and many members of Congress quietly backed off. In only a few days, the web browsers of America had crushed two quickly…

    There have been complaints about children and teens misuse of social networking sites. Typically in school when someone doesn’t know how to do something correctly, it is taught to them. Why is social media any different? Social media and multimedia have changed drastically in just a few years. Today 95% of all teens ages 12-17 are online and 80% are using social media sites. Jobs are now requiring skills in social media and other online tools – no matter the industry. Therefore a formal education on the subject is necessary.

    Have I ever told you all how much I dig Evernote? I use it everyday and constantly find new ways to implement the “remember everything” service into my everyday life. One of the things I do heavily is forward emails to Evernote from Gmail. Things like receipts that come to my inbox, I quickly forward them to Evernote by using the designated email address assigned to me when I signed up what seems like ages ago. What I then have to do is open Evernote, find the note that’s stored in my default notebook, and manually move it to the appropriate notebook and add tags to the note to…

Numbers have shown that black people love their gossip news, but they are just as interested in hard news as they are gossip.

    Well, Twitter didn’t exactly use the word “censor.” But “withholding” particular tweets after they’re posted sounds like censorship to me: “Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country – while keeping it available in the rest of the world. We have also built in a way to communicate transparently to users when content is withheld, and why,” Twitter said in a blog post. Twitter will send emails to users when their tweets are blocked, including who requested the block, and mark the censored content on Twitter…

  • Growing Snow to Help Predict Avalanches

    Joshua Saul
    27 Jan 2012 | 3:30 pm
    Inside the Landslide MSU/Kelly Gorham Ed Adams, an engineering professor at Montana State University, used to study avalanches from inside a fortified shack. He would attach his shack to a boulder on a mountain, set small explosives in the snowpack, and trigger an avalanche, surrounding the shack. "Once snow gets on the ground, it's in an ongoing state of change," Adams says. That changeability makes the snowpack dangerously unpredictable. Scientists such as Adams know a lot about avalanches in general but very little about their inner workings. Adams has since moved from his shack into the…

  • Study Shows Females Can Delay the Aging of Sperm Cells for Decades

    Dan Nosowitz
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:30 pm
    A new study, led by Dr. Klaus Reinhardt at the University of Sheffield, shows that females of some species can prolong the lifespan of ordinarily short-lived sperm cells by days, months, or even decades, waiting for the optimal time to use it. The study could have some big implications for the general study of aging, as well. Here's the deal: sperm cells are very short-lived, typically. They have a very high metabolic rate compared to other cells, but the reasons why sperm cells deteriorate so quickly is still not well-understood. It was assumed that part of the problem is that sperm cells…

    Hydroponic Plant Bed Julie BeckGrowing kale and tilapia--and brewing beer--in an abandoned stretch of Chicago Recently I had the opportunity to visit The Plant, Chicago's first vertical farm. This claim depends on your definition of vertical farm, of course, because The Plant isn't the sort of futuristic vegetation-filled skyscraper you might expect, and it isn't solely agricultural. While food will be grown there, the space will also house small food-related businesses, breweries and bakeries and the like, so it might be more accurate to classify it as a "food business incubator."

The company's working prototype, called D-Dalus, is roughly five feet by three feet square and can lift about 100 pounds. But the size and lift are not what's most impressive. A flying machine with no airfoil, rotor or jet propulsion can travel where most cannot: in very tight spaces and through terrible weather. ROTOR ASSEMBLIES The…

    This company is credited with inventing the home computer, and with coining such technological terms as mouse, desktop and icon. Apple Computers was founded on April 1, 1976 in Cupertino, California by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. By the next year, they had produced the successful Apple II. When the company went public in 1980, it created the most millionaires of any company that came before it. Apple has become well-known in recent years for its technological contributions such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad, and continues to pave the way for changes in the industry, even after the death of…

  • Apple’s Quarterly Profit Higher Than Google’s Revenue

    24 Jan 2012 | 5:44 pm
    Apple has released their quarterly results, and to say they knocked it out of the park is an understatement. Without analyzing too much, just take in the raw numbers. Revenue: $46 billion. 15.4 million iPads sold. 37 million iPhones sold. 5.2 million Macs. Google reported its fourth-quarter 2011 revenues rose a disappointing 25%, to $10.58 billion–and sales net of payments back to other sites that are ad partners was only $8.13 billion, noticeably less than analysts’ forecast of $8.38 billion. Profits of $9.50 a share also came in far short of the $10.49 Wall Street was expecting. (news…

    “According to a new report from research firm NPD, iOS’s U.S. market share (by sales) jumped from 26% in the third quarter of 2011 to 43% by October and November. Android, however, came out on top, with 47% market share during those two months, down from 60% in Q3. Says NPD, over the course of 2011, the smartphone battle saw iOS and Android distancing themselves from the competition, turning it into “a two-horse race.” (TechCrunch) Apple owns the top 3 spots at this point, which only means one thing to me: Owning the entire space.

It’s a question startups need to ask themselves in a world in which first impressions can mean everything. With all due to respect to the growing legion of minimal viable product (MVP) disciples, one of the most crucial things for startups is giving users something different, compelling or interesting so they stick around or, as important, they’re willing to give you a second chance.

    A couple of weeks ago, David Crow had a post in StartupNorth about the importance and challenging that startups face when it comes to hiring. The post came to mind during a conversation with a startup entrepreneur looking to aggressively hire. A key point was how hiring has to be seen as a strategic rather than administrative process. It makes sense given how a bad hire can penalize a lean and mean startup that needs to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible. As much as startups recognize the importance of making good hiring decisions, the reality is the process can be…

And that excludes the $12.5 billion Google will be spending to acquire Motorola when the deal (pending regulatory approval) closes within the next couple of months.

  • The Internet Will Reach a Billion More People in Four Years

    27 Jan 2012 | 3:45 pm
    The internet's fast growth pace isn't poised to slow down any over the next four years, a projection released by the Boston Consulting Group suggests. According to their research, the internet economy is expected to double by 2016, from just over $2 trillion in 2010 to more than $4 trillion. Driving the growing economy is a continued rise in users. In 2010, 1.9 billion people used the internet. By 2016, this number will swell to 3 billion, or nearly half of the world's population, BCG believes. “No company or country can afford to ignore this development. Every business needs to go…

A few weeks ago the Lemelson-MIT Program put a similar question to 1,000 young adults ages 16 to 25, and stodgy old purists can breathe a sigh of relief. Thomas Edison trumped everyone. "Though part of the 'Apple Generation,' many young Americans surprisingly chose Thomas Edison (52%), as the greatest innovator of all time, demonstrating that education around the history of invention exists in today's curriculum," the organization…

Stewart tends to be more political and DeFranco leans a little more pop, but the same way Stewart is at the helm of an Award-winning writing staff predominately comprised of Ivy League-educated Jews, which works to disseminate news of current events with a sometimes sardonic, sometimes reverent tone and always informative perspective to left-of-center-leaning Comedy Central-watching Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, DeFranco is at the head of, and behind a…

    Is it a tablet? Or is it a phone? That’s the tagline on billboards advertising the new Samsung Galaxy Note. When the company selling a product expresses uncertainly about what exactly their product is, you know you are dealing with something different. Indeed, the Samsung Note seems like a new hybrid product that’s both an oversized phone and an undersized tablet. The phonelet weighs 6.3 ounces (178 grams) and has a 5.3-inch display—more than the largest smartphone and less than the smallest tablet. The Android operating system powered by 1.4GHz dual-core processor is capable of…

The Android-running Prada Phone by LG is a skinny one (naturally) at 8.5mm thick, and comes packed with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, a 1.0Ghz dual-core processor for speed, 8GB of onboard storage, and an 8MP rear-facing camera so you can snap crystal clear photos of your daily outfits.

  • Fake online product reviews draw regulator attention

    Consumer Reports News
    27 Jan 2012 | 1:00 pm
    User reviews are an established part of the online shopping landscape. And so it comes as no surprise that companies have tried to "game" the system to their advantage. It also means reviews from actual consumers can be up for sale, undermining the entire process. The New York Times reported this week that Amazon took a merchant off its site because it was offering a full rebate on $10 leather cases for the Kindle Fire if the buyer wrote an online review. The merchant, VIP Deals, shipped the Kindle cases with a letter that offered the rebate. "Advertising disguised as editorial is an old…

  • Don't let your high-tech phone die during an emergency

    Consumer Reports News
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:45 am
    An increasing number of U.S. consumers are turning to "cutting the copper" when it comes to home telephone service, relying instead on their cell phones or Voice over IP (VoIP) service that uses their home's high-speed Internet connections. However, such systems can stop working during an emergency such as a power blackout, hurricane or other natural disaster. Unlike traditional copper-wire based telephone services, VoIP and mobile phone services are highly dependent on electricity—and Internet connections—to work. (Read: Surprise!

  • Get Quality Followers For Your Twitter Channel

    Steitiyeh
    22 Jan 2012 | 9:33 am
    All brands and twitter users are concerned about increasing the count of their followers rather than focusing on building a proper community around their twitter channel. It’s good to have a good number of followers count, but always worry about quality followers and don’t place the number of followers on top of your to-do list. It’s exactly similar to anyone who launches any web app or a web venture and spends most of his time looking at Google Analytics and how much traffic he got instead of improving his tool and launching new features. But this doesn’t mean you…

    “How do you write your articles?” A question that I was asked various times and I thought that I had to write an article about it and share its answer with you guys. It’s very healthy for any blogger and her/his blog to set a certain criteria/routine of how they’re going to create content for their blogs. Personally I follow some steps in every article I write that I think are “a-must” for every article, there are other steps I do with some articles only.

Initially I even promoted it to fellow developers but slowly slowly things got change and now ecosystem of Android is at a state where I don’t appreciate it.

From the FBI: The malware is appropriately called “Gameover” because once it’s on your computer, it can steal usernames and passwords and defeat common methods of user authentication employed by financial institutions. And once the crooks get into your bank account, it’s definitely “game over.” Gameover is a newer variant of the Zeus malware, which was created several years ago and…

  • College T.A – All-In-One FREE iPhone College App!

    Crazy Mike
    27 Jan 2012 | 10:57 am
    Most college students keep very hectic schedules when classes are in session and have a lot of information to keep in order, but now they can easily keep track of pretty much everything college related with the College T.A. (by ArcDNA Inc.). This FREE iPhone app has a variety of college specific categories or buckets to place activities, clubs, schedules, assignments, professor information, and more — all in one app. Looking back to my college days, we did not have cell phones, and the management of classes was kept in day runners, if you were geeky enough to have one. Now, with the…

While there is much overlap between prediction and forecast, a prediction may be a statement that some outcome is expected, while a forecast may cover a range of possible outcomes. Nevertheless, our friends at Yankee [...]

    It seems a vision of a far-off utopian future or the wildest dreams of science fiction: you sit down with your laptop at a coffee shop, a steaming mug of half double-twist decaf caramel latte beside you. You open the lid of the computer and a green light above the screen comes on, and perhaps you hear the faint sound of a whirling servo. You’ve barely raised the over-priced misshapen hipster mug to your lips when the system displays a welcome message and logs you in without any keyboard input. Setting the mug down, you make am upwards gesture and swirl with one hand. Applications on the…

  • Should kids learn to code?

    Matthew Murray
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:02 am
    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the absurd notion (forwarded by Codecademy.com and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg) that anyone could become a serious, worthwhile programmer, and get a decent job from those skills, inside of one year. This week I came across a story by Andy Young at kernelmag.com called “Coding for Success,” which addressed a slightly different coding question: Should we teach all kids to code as part of their education? For that story’s author, Andy Young, the answer is an emphatic yes. I’m a bit less certain.I agree with him, to an extent, for two…

    In the wake of the Megaupload takedown, it might seem like a good time to back away from increasingly locked-down cloud storage. After all, you don’t want to lose all your media if the worst happens. At least one digital locker is bucking the trend: Google Music. The search giant’s cloud music service added a new feature this week; US users can now download their entire MP3 library, both purchased and uploaded tunes.

It is the perfect water filter.In an experiment, the University of Manchester researchers filled a metal container with a variety of liquids and gases and then covered it with a film of graphene oxide. Their most sensitive equipment was unable to register any molecules leaving the container, except water vapor. The graphene oxide filter even prevented helium gas…

The templates that Moonfruit offers aren’t something you would expect from this type of service. Similar services often have incredibly basic templates you can build your site off of.

I am far from alone. - Mobile sites by and large have lower functionality and a crapper user experience - There seems to be an increasing number of sites recently wanting to point me to their mobile site (and i know from previous experience once you are there you are stuck - there is usually no way back) Spot the contradiction. It seems odd to me that just as these sites are becoming less necessary, they are increasing. Clearly the time lag of consultants suggesting…

  • Knowledge Is A Universal Natural Resource -- And Locking It Up Hurts Everyone

    Mike Masnick
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:39 pm
    One of the more important points in understanding some of the fights over the ridiculousness of today's copyright and patent laws is to recognize how knowledge (information) is a natural resource. It is the input that makes other great things. Economist Paul Romer's famous research really showed how knowledge and information as a resource is what creates economic growth. Once you recognize that fact, you begin to run into problems when you think about locking up that natural resource. Think of other natural resources. Do we think the world is better off if there's a greater supply of each of…

    Back in 2010, we wrote about an attempt to sue the website TheDirty.com for libel... in which the lawyer for the site accidentally sued a different site, called TheDirt.com. This resulted in some hilarity with a bogus default judgment and plenty of confusion. We joked how, given the similarities in the names of those sites to Techdirt, perhaps we should be happy that we weren't sued as well. However, once all the mistakes were realized, the case did shift to actually suing TheDirty.com's owner. TheDirty is (1) not safe for work and (2) not a particularly nice site. It mostly involves user…

I was actually heading to the airport soon after, so I had checked out of my hotel, and had put the metal water canteen that I use in my bag. It was empty, knowing that I'd have to…

    There are a lot of food options out there, and fast food is certainly one of the more popular choices for people on the go. Not surprisingly, though, fast food establishments usually don't have the best reputation for healthy dining, but some of them are trying to change their image. Here are just a few stories on fast food news. Burger King is testing out a home delivery service for its food in the DC area. Best sentence in the coverage: "There are some real food-quality issues here," says Ron Paul, president of research firm Technomic. [url] McDonald's tried a social marketing campaign on…

  • Responses To Nimblebit Point Out That Inspiration Comes From Lots Of Places

    Mike Masnick
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:07 pm
    We just wrote about Nimblebit's response to Zynga upon discovering Zynga's game that looks a lot like a Nimblebit game. In that post, we noted that even Nimblebit's game was hardly the first such game out there, and now (as pointed out in our comments), someone decided to take the format of Nimblebit's letter, and redo it as a letter to Nimblebit about the other games that inspired Nimblebit's game. The tone is a little snarky -- and to be honest, I never got the feeling from the original that Nimblebit was claiming that it, too, wasn't inspired by others. Still, this really does show the…

    Are you hesitating with your social media strategy, unsure of where to start? You are not alone! In this interview David Alston, CMO of Radian6, explains how listening to what your customers are saying to, and about, your company is the best first step to take.

    Some 500 people packed the theatre on a recent Monday evening at the Business Leaders Network (BLN) event showcasing Eric Ries, Silicon Valley entrepreneur and author of The Lean Startup. (Well done BLN, and especially Mark Littlewood, who hosted the proceedings and ran the Q&A with aplomb and humour.) This and numerous other packed TLS events in the preceding week in Ireland and the UK showed that Ries’s fame preceded him, even drawing attendees from continential Europe. Much has already been written and said online about the Lean Startup method, and the book is so widely available…

  • How Do I Enter A Room Confidently?

    Heather Townsend
    26 Jan 2012 | 8:00 am
    I’ve spent a large portion of 2011 helping professionals and business owners become more confident to both stay in to network as well as going out to network. Every time I run a training workshop focusing more on the working the room part of networking, there is normally someone who wants to know how to enter a room confidently. It sounds like a trivial matter to enter a room confidently. Or at least that’s what we try and tell ourselves, when we are beating ourselves up because we still haven’t cracked the secret of confidently entering a room. Let’s be honest, it can be very…

    Today we are rolling out our new retention tracking system. Now, instead of choosing a user’s cohort on an event-by-event basis (the first time the event was fired) you tell Mixpanel their cohort by sending a $born or $signup event (in fact, this event can be called anything, the key is that you only send it once per distinct_id. If you call it $signup there will be a slight improvement in performance for your report). Usually you would send this event when they first make an account, but a lot of our customers have been asking us about their existing users. How can you tell Mixpanel…

    We rolled out some big changes to the way retention reports work. Now you can slice and dice your retention data the same way you can in the Segmentation report. To our existing customers, the biggest change is in the way cohort groups are determined. In the past, you could only select a single event for retention analysis, now you can select two – one for determining the cohort (usually you would pick a signup or $born event for this) and one to look at the retention for. This is explained in detail on our documentation page, and in the video below the fold. You may be wondering:…

  • What coworking can teach corporate offices

    Jessica Stillman
    27 Jan 2012 | 8:03 am
    If you’re going to Austin this year for SXSW and you’re a fan of coworking, you might want to arrive a few days early to hit the Global Coworking Unconference Conference (formerly known as the Coworking Unconference) being held in the city on March 8. With a range of panels on starting and running a space, the all-day event is geared toward owners. But at least one discussion might be of interest not only to coworking entrepreneurs but also to forward-thinking managers as well. As more and more workers take up the promise of technology and get out of the office to work where and when it…

  • Nope, independent work isn’t behind rising inequality, says expert

    Jessica Stillman
    26 Jan 2012 | 8:00 am
    Last week we highlighted a piece in Canadian magazine Maclean’s that explored the question of whether the rise of independent work was contributing to rising income inequality. And while I argued that it was pretty hard to see how independent work rather than government policy and the globalization of the evolution of tech was the root cause of increasing inequality, the post closed by pondering whether the growing number of independent workers was in some way contributing to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots once the process was under way. I didn’t have any solid data to…

The cloud-based tool uses the power of crowdsourcing to populate org charts. More than fodder for headhunters, public org charts have become increasingly useful as more of our work is done in tight connection with associates outside of our organizations.

I don’t think she’s enjoying it either. She might enjoy the benefits, though. In China today, demand for female bodyguards is rising quickly, at a higher rate than the demand for male bodyguards is growing.

Content that breaks laws, such as pro-Nazi material in Germany or perceived slights against the king in Thailand, will be censored specifically in those countries – the rest of the world will still have unaltered access to those tweets. Users will be notified of any censorship that takes place, and governments can order content censored within their countries at will. Unsurprisingly, there has been backlash.

  • The Monster Case Turns Your iPhone into a Cuddly Pet

    At the very least, holding onto your phone will be a little more comfortable. The Monster Case is a snap-on hard case for the iPhone 4S that comes with a chunk of fake fur growing out of the back. The website for the case says that photography and flashlight are affected, which I’m guessing is a typo, unless they are talking about stray fur covering up the lens. The price is a little monstrous, though – $40 for a patch of fake fur and a plain hard case for your iPhone 4S might be asking a bit much. You can get the Monster Case in snow white, creamy camel, and schnauzer grey. The…

As it turns out, though, this article is already published at PaidContent.org, so it's pretty clear someone kindly submitted it to us, but included the whole of that article.

The European Parliament has to accept it too - not a done deal either. My opinion on the matter is clear.

When you price your mobile app, for example, it doesn't really matter whether you make it cost $1 or $2. The majority of people who want your app and are prepared to pay something for it won't balk at two bucks versus one. But making your app cost anything at all puts up a hurdle much greater than 100 pennies, especially in new markets. Android Market users have paid for significantly fewer apps than iOS/iTunes…

    With each new release of Firefox by Mozilla, we see better performance, stability and security. But, despite all these improvements, Firefox is still resolutely a 32-bit browser. Yes, Mozilla is still working on Firefox 64-bit, but for some reason, they haven’t officially released any 64-bit builds for Firefox. If you can’t wait, you can grab a nightly build of the 64-bit available for Windows and Linux from Mozilla servers. Many people will hesitate to use a nightly build for regular use. For those who wants stability and don’t want to try a risky nightly build, Waterfox…

  • Use Video Email to Send Responses to FAQs

    Will Franco aka Flywheel

    Video email doesn’t just build trust and rapport, it makes your message clearer and more memorable, as opposed to plain text communication. This is part of the reason why video is becoming a fundamental component of an online marketing strategy.  If you are sending emails via Outlook or GMail, you are marketing your business online! In this post, I am going to go over how I use video email to send responses to the questions I get asked most frequently. Firstly, I use the Logitech C910 webcam because it produces the best picture and sound. I then fire up the jiveSYSTEMS video email…

And those are intended for an individual or group, potentially, at a specific time– for example, an event. And generally, you address them, hey, Joe and Sally, or hey, Joe, or hey, Sam, it was a pleasure to meet you, or, I’m looking forward to seeing you. Now, evergreen video email messages are, basically, responses to frequently asked questions. Think of them is canned responses. Now, in evergreen video email messages, you don’t want to mention…

All the end of the world prophecies from the Mayans lead people to do some really crazy things, but the majority of us just think that the dude that chiseled out the rock for the calendar just ran out of space. In any case, it behooves us to pause at the end of this year and ponder the next as to what we think will happen. Just a few short years ago we were all still watching TV on huge boxes…

    24 Jan 2012 | 7:56 am
    Before you startblogging, you must make it clear to yourself what you are going to blog about or very simply the main topic of your blog. You can not go and just blog about anything you want, like you start blogging about technology, then someday move to entertainment and later end with video games. This will kill your blog from the SEO point of view. If you are not serious about blogging, and consider this just as your past time, then you may not put importance in this. But if you consider this seriously and want to continue blogging for a long-term, then you must find a niche for your blog.

        My iPhone has become my point & shoot camera for the most part. It's a good camera and while I do own "better" point & shoot cameras, my phone is always with me. Therefore it wins by default. I've also seen several attempts at adding lenses to smartphones and in most cases I'm left scratching my head trying to understand why anyone would want to do this? After all If I'm going to carry big lenses or if the photography is that important to me, then I'm also going to carry a decent camera body to go with those lenses. I recently made one…

         I've been creating Photo Books in other applications for quite some time now. While I've always gotten the books printed that I wanted, it was always a chore managing the photos in my App of choice (Lightroom) and then exporting/importing them into another App or Service just to layout a book.  That all goes away for me with the introduction of the Adobe Lightroom 4 Beta. One of the books that I do/update on a regular basis is my "Portfolio" book. People are always impressed when I show them my Portfolio as an actual professionally printed book.

    Usually when something big in tech or photography happens my friends start asking me "did you order one?" This time the big news is the newly announced Nikon D4 DSLR camera. Let me start by saying that I've always had Nikon D3 envy, but just couldn't justify the price. I don't need the high speed because I don't shoot sports. My D700 has served me quite well and I really have no complaints with it. My desire to replace it only stems from the desire of having a full-frame camera that also does video. I have a Nikon D7000 for travel and currently a D5100 in studio for…

    As you know, the comment is so important to any blog platform that you may have to build an attractive comments form that users will enjoy filling out. Usually forms are pretty classic with standard fields, submit buttons - nothing more, nothing less. But still even little change of field background, border style, layout, rounded corners can make huge difference. Sometimes adding live comment preview, smiles or some simple CSS bold, italic, underline effects to give more options to advanced comment writers, such as Markdown may be a good choice to satisfy these requirements. Today I would…

    Keeping temperature-sensitive IT equipment like servers cool in heated buildings during the winter months has become a challenge.

    Android is becoming the major backbone of gadgets(like smartphone, tablets and TV).

    How would you feel when you visit a website looking for information and it says – Loading – Please wait 10%, 50%…? Annoying?

    As an engineer, I admit, I tend to get caught up in the “How”. How things work, that is. And in the world of M2M, there’s a LOT of “how” to sink my teeth into. But there’s also quite a bit of “why.” And the more powerful the argument for “why”, the more likely a new technology is to be adopted in the general population. A recent study by Market Strategies International found Americans are attracted to M2M concepts that seek to make their lives easier, safer, or help them save money. American consumers found appeal in the primary M2M concepts in this order: Home energy…

    For several years, M2M has been redefining how we interact with, and obtain information from machines in the western world. This growth has not been lost on the Asian market – which is fast becoming a hot spot for accelerated M2M activity. I am happy to see businesses from around the world enter the Asian market. In my opinion, this is a signal of a strengthening and stabilizing market – and we’re a part of that uptick. In an area of the world where until recently M2M applied mainly to telematics and security, we’re now seeing applications to cellular, smart grids, transportation.

    Developing new International business relationships is considered to be very different in each country. Cultural differences, a variety of languages, local habits and/or specific slang seem to be human obstacles causing individuals to feel uncomfortable by nature when they first meet. No doubt this is a very true statement yet based on my experience it seems to be somewhat different when one comes from ‘The Netherlands’ in Europe.

    Beijing is famous for its traffic. As are cities in the United States including Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York. Our governments and urban planners have yet to find a golden solution to keep traffic moving–if there is such a thing. Earlier this month I came across an article in ChinaDaily about a new concept for traffic flow designed by a university student named Li Xu. After witnessing his father losing a business deal due to being stuck in traffic, Xu designed an intersection that theorizes to keep traffic moving–even without lights. This concept interested me for a few…

    A lot of online marketers and SEO individuals are starting to become rigidly defined in terms of proper ways to perform certain tasks. One such item of discussion is backlinks and the relevance of them. A lot of people are continually reaching for the most authoritative links out there. Now, I’m not saying this is ludicrous, but the fact that many people are only interested in these high level links IS kind of dumb. As an example, let’s say that you have a site that sells obscure comic books. The site panders to items like parallel spin offs or fan favorites like Lobo.

    26 Jan 2012 | 6:53 am
    The netbook era may be over. But there is still value in playing with Linux-based, open source netbooks like the one Pandora is planning to bring to the market. The netbook ships with a 600 MHz ARM-based TI OMAP3 SoC and plays Quake 3 and Mario 64. This netbook does have a Nintendo DS look and feel to it. Here are the specifications for this device:600 MHz TI OMAP3530 SoC256 MB of DDR-333 memory512 MB storagedual SDHC card slots43-button QWERTY keyboardThe device will be available for $485 for international customers. The fact that this is open source is a plus. But the price is too high.

  • 178m Ultrabook shipments by 2016

    Netbook Guy
    25 Jan 2012 | 6:55 am
    While netbooks are falling, ultrabooks are rising. They are expected to be the future of laptops in the next few years. How big this market is going to get? According to Juniper Research’s forecasts, 178m ultrabooks could be sold per year by 2016. That would still not top tablet sales, which could reach 253m units. There is no question that ultrabook prices are a bit too much for consumers at this point.While Intel’s control of the brand ensures that Ultrabooks stand out from traditional notebooks, vendors face a balancing act in terms of product strategy… Meeting Intel’s…

    24 Jan 2012 | 6:51 am
    HP is not in the business of releasing new netbook models as often as it used to. But it does bring new models to the market once in a while. The HP Mini 1104 netbook is designed for professional and educational users. It has an ATOM N2600 processor inside with 2 GB RAM. Just like most netbooks, this device will have a 10.1 inch display at a resolution of 1024 x 600. The HP Mini 1104 netbook has Intel GMA3600 inside with optional HSPA+ support. At $399, we don’t expect HP to sell a ton of these netbooks. Readers who read this page, also viewed:4 Cool Netbooks Below $2503 Best 7…

  • Microsoft Ready for Post-Netbook Era?

    Netbook Guy
    23 Jan 2012 | 6:53 am
    It is no secret that netbooks have been declining with the rise of tablets. These were highly portable laptops at great prices that rose to amazing heights a couple of years ago. With the rise of affordable, premium tablets, netbooks have lost a lot of marketshare. Take Microsoft for instance. Netbooks were responsible for 8% of the company’s sales a year ago (now only 2%). As Patrick Moorhead, principal at Moor Insights, explains, netbooks just lost out to better alternatives:In the end, and I have been very clear on this since day one, is that netbooks are just inexpensive notebooks…

  • Piracy is part of the digital ecosystem

    Frédéric Filloux
    22 Jan 2012 | 12:15 pm
    TweetIn the summer of 2009, I found myself invited to a small party in an old bourgeois apartment with breathtaking views of the Champ-de-Mars and Eiffel Tower. The gathering was meant to be an informal discussion among media people about Nicolas Sarkozy’s push for the HADOPI anti-piracy bill. The risk of a heated debate was very limited: everyone in this little crowd of artists, TV and movie producers, and journalists, was on the same side, that is against the proposed law. HADOPI was the same breed as the now comatose American PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) and SOPA (Stop…

    TweetWhat’s the use of offering more than 500,000 wares if customers can’t find their way through the gigantic bazaar? I know, I already harped on about the lack of curation in Apple’s App Store, but that was 16 months ago…when the Store contained a “mere” 250,000 apps. Since then, the iPhone has sold in ever larger numbers (we’ll soon see if the December quarter number crossed the 30 million units line, and by how much) and with more than 18 billion downloads, the App Store is an unmitigated success. If this is what “broken” looks like, why fix it? And how? To answer…

    TweetAdvertising still dominates the newspaper revenue model. Depending upon the particular country, it is not uncommon to see print dailies getting 70% to 80% of their revenue from advertising. In the early days of the digital era, when business plans were driven by “eyeballs”, everybody hoped to replicate the tried and true print advertising revenue model. Now, the collective hallucination has dissipated; a more down-to-earth vision prevails: publishers willing to preserve high quality (read: costly) journalism recognize they have no choice but getting their users to pay for it,…

  • Will Microsoft buy RIM or Nokia?

    Jean-Louis Gassée
    15 Jan 2012 | 12:15 pm
    TweetWe continue along the lines of last week’s Monday Notekriegsspiel with the latest speculation Will Microsoft, at long last, buy RIM? The idea has been kicked around for at least five years: Days after the iPhone’s introduction in January 2007, Seeking Alpha suggested that the Xbox maker ought to buy RIM in order to build an XPhone. In retrospect, this would have saved both companies a lot of grief. It’s early 2007 and the BlackBerry maker is riding high. With its Microsoft Exchange integration; a solid PIM (Personal Information Manager) that neatly combines mail, calendar, and…

    Tweet(This version corrects an error in the percentage for the price increase of the FT) Every newspaper, magazine or website is working on a paywall of sorts and closely monitoring what everyone else is doing. In almost every news company, execs are morosely watching advertising projections and finding numbers that are not exactly encouraging. For digital media, there is no way around this year’s weak outlook: the bad economic climate only adds to the downward price pressure exerted by the ever growing inventory of web and mobile pages. In a best-case scenario, volumes and prices will…

  • Why Link Building is Becoming More of Content Marketing

    Shiva Chettri
    23 Jan 2012 | 5:03 pm
    Has link building turned into content marketing? That’s the buzz on the webinars at the moment. So – what is content marketing and how do you do it?  Baiting Your Hook Content marketing is just another term for link baiting when all is said and done. You create outstanding content and people start to link to you because your content is so compelling. Remember, this is not just articles we are talking about here. In fact, the market for articles – which are stuffy and pretty obviously invalid even if they are interesting – ought to be slipping away as social media really takes hold.

    It is well-known that a bill called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) could ultimately lead to online censorship as dictated by government protocol. Erik Martin, general manager of Reddit, put it best, explaining that, “SOPA would kill Reddit” and other community-driven forums of its nature. Not everyone agrees with Martin and several companies chose to stand behind the anti-piracy act, only to face an immediate revolt among online communities. Following this reaction, the faces of some industries have pulled back from their alliance in the bill, while others may be a little more…

    The Stop Online Piracy Act (aka. S.O.P.A) has been making headlines around the web in recent weeks. The bill introduced by the U.S. House of Representatives aims to cut down illegal file sharing.

Many people who own their own business do not think of the fact that their business can be open 365 days a year, 7 days a week with their own website.

The costume was made out of nice material instead of the weird smelling plastic mask and the stiff vinyl bodysuit. See Exhibit A for an lovely example of a vinyl Darth Vader costume. What’s up with my reaction in the photo? I wasn’t happy someone took my picture before I could get my mask on.

    Energy efficiency is a key pillar in President Obama’s vision for ‘an economy built to last’. The easiest way to save money is to waste less energy. We hear that loud and clear! The bipartisan Shaheen-Portman bill – already with U.S. Congress for approval – would increase energy efficiency across the U.S. economy by strengthening building energy codes, providing financing options for manufacturers and requiring the federal government to improve its energy management. Along with our friends at the Alliance to Save Energy, we urge Congress to pass it. The renewed focus on…

In mid-November and late January, the circular path of the sun crosses the axis of the Infinite Corridor. The setting sun can then be viewed from the far end of the corridor, evoking the mysterious wonder of Stonehenge. It’s a little bit of campus magic—and it has rolled around again. The next sighting of this seasonal phenomenon is set for this Monday and Tuesday. If you are nearby, swing by the Infinite Corridor and see it in person.

  • Upgrading to Joomla 2.5 - Some Warnings

    27 Jan 2012 | 3:33 am
    Joomla 2.5 was released earlier this week and I would like to publicly thanks everyone who helped to code and test this release. It truly is the next major step in the life of this awesome community software project. The upgrade process from Joomla 1.7 is a very simple one-click process but there are a few things you should do immediately after performing the upgrade to ensure a smooth transition. Of course it goes without saying that you should perform a full site backup before starting the upgrade process. The advice below should be followed in this specific order. Clear the Cache The…

  • Do you use Social Media?

    It seems that almost everyday there is a new social media opportunity appearing online which is immediately followed by an inevitable land grab phase. But before jumping on the bandwagon of the latest and greatest thing to hit the net take a moment to think. Are you getting the maximum benefits you could from your current social media streams? Are there some that just didn't work for you? Are you missing opportunities because you just don't get it or did you not put in the time and effort and create a consistent social media presence. Should you drop the turkeys, adjust your practice, read a…

  • Joomla! is not one community

    28 Nov 2011 | 6:37 am
    This year I have been fortunate to travel and speak about Joomla in 13 countries across almost all the continents on the planet. One thing I quickly learned is that despite increasing globalistaion and harmonisation we are all different. I've written before about the obvious differences of language but there's much more too it than that. Local culture and economics play an important part as well in defining and differentiating the Joomla communities around the world. In India I observed an overwhelming hunger for knowledge, especially coding, to enable people to support others with specific…

Very exciting time indeed as up until this point watching t.v. has been a bit of an issue with the existing projection HD television that is on the floor. Kinked necks and not being able to see the bottom of the screen fueled the request to the jolly man in the red suit for a new t.v. that could be mounted on the wall. Well, that’s exactly what I did.

  • Maintenance Mode For WordPress

    30 Nov 2011 | 7:55 am
    How to put WordPress into “Maintenance Mode”One thing that many people don’t know about WordPress is that it comes with the built-in ability to put itself into “Maintenance Mode”. This can come in super handy while you’re developing, switching, upgrading, or troubleshooting your WordPress site. It will give you (or any user with the ability to sign into the admin area of WordPress) the ability to sign into WordPress and see your site as you normally would while your visitors / users see a completely separate splash page or even a completely different site.

    Poor little Research in Motion just can’t catch a break. Following last year’s woes, with the days-long BBM network disruptions and the colossal failure of the BlackBerry PlayBook, 2012 doesn’t seem to be their year either. One of the biggest criticisms levelled at the company by investors and tech journalists alike has been that of stale leadership, and you’d think that they’d welcome a new man at the helm. While long-time co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie were shown the door, an insider, COO Thorsten Heins, was given the reins. The German-born Heins is…

Jones the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that police must have a search warrant before using GPS tracking devices to surveil criminal suspects. While all justices agreed that the tracking device placed on Jone’s jeep violated the Fourth Amendment’s unreasonable search and seizure protection, the justices were divided on how far the ruling should have gone. Justices Alito, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan said that “the court should have gone further…

    For those of you who aren’t familiar with Buffer: the app lets you schedule tweets or Facebook posts so as to spread them across the day, ensuring you reach a wider audience and attain higher CTR and rate of engagement. The app aimed at marketers and power users has already gained traction among who’s who of social media, and while it does have paid plans for heavy users, you can still grab a free account for one of your Twitter and Facebook profiles.

  • The CMDB is not a data warehouse

    Charles Betz
    26 Jan 2012 | 6:11 pm
    Managing IT data is maddening. IT organizations are hamstrung right and left by lack of complete and high quality information, yet approaches to resolve this have been only partially successful – at best! One approach that has had less attention is the idea of a data warehouse for IT data. As big data and analytics get more and more traction, the idea of applying them to IT is obvious. Now, a CIO, if presented with the idea of an “IT data warehouse,” may respond “I thought we had one of those – the CMDB (Configuration Management Database, or System).” But the CMDB/CMS does not…

    Happy (belated) New Year! (Well, maybe not so happy if you buy shoes online or are having second thoughts about source code escrow.) Like many, I’ve been contemplating my expectations for 2012. But rather than just play armchair quarterback (a popular pastime among NFL fans here in Denver of late), I thought it would be more useful if I were to pop up from severe heads-down mode for a moment and share a couple of my most significant expectations for the year in terms of the research topics I’ll be prioritizing in the coming weeks and months: In the last few years, we have seen the…

    Yesterday I tweeted “Most software CEO’s are technologists at some level. Saylor is a passionate nerd. It’s a compliment.” I’ve covered MicroStrategy for years and have attended many of CEO Michael Saylor‘s keynotes and the reoccurring theme is his deep understanding of emerging technologies and how they will disrupt the business intelligence space. He has always charted an aggressive course for the company and often chased trends that have yet to make the radar of less imaginative competitors. Big Data, Cloud, Social and Mobile business intelligence are all at the forefront of…

    When you combine the constantly changing landscape that is the mobile industry with the renowned innovation that the adult entertainment industry is famous for, how on earth do you identify the right business model for YOUR business? Let’s face it; if you’re anything like me, you are presented with a cavalcade of potential business opportunities on a weekly basis. But with mobile, most of the time you are travelling on an unmade road. So much of it hasn’t existed before so you have no case-studies to refer to and only your gut instinct as to what you think will generate the big…

    Shuaib
    9 Jan 2012 | 8:22 pm
    This blog is primarily a programmer’s blog about programming. So you will see lots of code snippets in most of my posts. To properly handle the indentation, syntax highlighting, line numbering and other such issues with code snippets in a post, I needed a reliable wordpress plugin. I tried a few different ones, and finally decided on SyntaxHighlighter Plus. It is easy to use (with one problem that I am going to discuss), and the final result is very nice looking, as you can see in my posts. But I faced a very annoying issue during my early usage of the plugin. I usually write my post in…

    Graph theory is one of the most important topics of study in computer science. It is so, because a lot of real world problems can be modelled using graphs. A lot of natural and human-made structures, are in essence, graphs. For example, an organization’s administrative hierarchy can be modeled as a graph with certain employees working under certain project leads, which in turn report to certain department heads. It can be used to model transportation systems, electric circuits, human interactions, and telecommunication systems. Basically anything representing a relation of some sort…

    So a year of Topcoder SRMs came to end. It was the last SRM of the year today. It wasn’t an ideal SRM for me, should have done much better. But still, I ended gaining in rating, however little it be (+3). Wasn’t such a great year for me to be honest. I had set a goal for myself much higher then where I eventually have got to.

    Ah the elusive division one. Seems like I have to wait even more then I expected to be part of that elite(!). Because this SRM didn’t go that well for me. The easy problem was solved by many, very fast. My guess is that most of the people just looked at the examples, noticed a pattern, and submitted a solution on that. That is how I came up with the solution too, but I took a bit of time to prove the solution to myself. This delay caused me precious points that proved to be decisive in my rating lost at the end. The medium problem was a tricky one. I spent a lot of time trying to come…

Now we got word that the promotional truck, filled with Mango treats and sandwiches, was out in Aliso Viejo, California in front of an AT&T store. By giving away some free food and some hands on with Windows Phones, Microsoft hopes to get some converts. It's certainly an interesting approach and we've heard nothing but good things from those who've managed to get the…

The SEGA Game Gear and Master System emulator has been submitted to the Windows Phone Marketplace and should be made available to all in the next few days. Coming with a free trial, the emulator will ultimately fetch for $1.29 which we find to a great price for this well designed app. We've playing with it for a few days now and while there is currently no sound (the devs are hoping to get that working in the future) we found the emulation and presentation top notch. The app is fluid, intuitive to use and has…

  • Quick start with method caching using Spring 3.1 and Ehcache

    Rafał Borowiec
    20 Jan 2012 | 6:17 am
    A while ago I wrote about method caching in Java using Ehcache Annotations for Spring. However, Spring 3.1 release, among many enhancements, brings native support for method caching with so-called cache abstraction. The main usage scenario of cache abstraction is to reduce the number of expensive executions and/or slow methods returning the same result for given parameters. The usage of Spring cache abstraction consists of two aspects: cache declaration and configuration. Spring provides many ways for declaring and configuring caching in an application: annotation-based, XML-based or mixed.

  • Looking Forward

    1 Jan 2012 | 6:15 pm
    This image shows us how Chevy has evolved over the years but it also mirrors our growth as a society in a very short period of time. A sliver compared to the age of this planet. Positive change can happen quickly and effectively if we remain looking forward and celebrate every day as the gift that it is. Permalink | Leave a comment  »

  • Testing the Ikonoskop A-Cam dII - the camera that loves you

    19 Dec 2011 | 6:51 pm
    Ikonoskop sent me a A-Cam dII camera to outfit with Arri accessories and try out in a real-world situation.  I was impressed by the image quality of this digital-16mm camera that has a lot of potential for professional use.  The size is tiny compared to tech that is simlar but it definitely holds up to the bigger cameras in a lot of ways.  Here is a sample vid I shot with the camera - I tested in both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions: I didn't have any external connectors or cables so I used the onboard viewfinder.  Since it is a very light camera but solid camera, I…

  • How web anonymity drives innovation

    Chris
    23 Jan 2012 | 8:43 am
    There are times, when research data challenge the common assumptions. Three months ago, we wrote a short piece about the prismatic personality concept, and how it clashes with real name policies of most social networks. Both Google+ and Facebook were notorious in their attempts to drive away users that preferred nicknames to their actual names, and they went as far as banning prolific artists, journalists with established pen names, and human rights activists that tried to protect their families. We thought it’s not only wrong, but also very counterproductive. Back then, our article was…

  • CES 2012: “Social” still on the offensive

    Chris
    10 Jan 2012 | 7:54 am
    There’s only one thing I could write about today. The annual madness of CES is here, with a flurry of quirky gadgets, pompous keynotes, and with some top people in the industry, including Steve Balmer and Kaz Hirai. As you can imagine, most developers on our team watched the CES coverage with interest. Apart from some strange moments, like Bill Gates busting dance moves in a weird remix, and some crazy gadgets like the guitar conversion for iPad, we were eager to know what 2012 will look like according to the companies that shape the technology world, like Microsoft, Google and Sony. One…

  • Alpha Test Update: New Year’s Resolutions

    Chris
    5 Jan 2012 | 7:23 am
    A new year is a time for two things: annual summaries of pretty much everything (from Google’s great Zeitgeist to articles like “2011 in competitive curling”), and for some new year’s resolutions. An interesting survey by Harris Interactive shows, that in 2012 one of the top resolutions of internet users is to… “share less via social media”. It even beats “being kinder to others”! While it might sound strange, I’m really excited by the results. Why? It just shows that people are tired of updating their social accounts constantly. After several years, the formula is getting…

  • Driving the people-content convergence

    Chris
    16 Dec 2011 | 6:02 am
    There’s probably more than a hundred popular books and scientific works about why social networks became so popular. Some say it’s because they offer an accessible way to fulfill our basic social desires, like staying connected with friends and relatives, gaining somebody’s attention, gossiping and satisfying our curiosity. Others point to the value of networking and honing real human relations in a digital age. You could say that metric tons of printed paper can’t be wrong, but I think you could say just as much in a single sentence. Social Networks are popular because we like the…

We decided to do it in form of this blog post, written both for people who are awaiting their alpha key, and for users who are currently testing. First, let us explain one thing. A lot of you have been asking for the alpha key, but for the time being, only a very limited amount of people received invitation.

  • Dark Souls Review

    Keith Ballard
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:35 am
    It can be incredibly easy to both overestimate and underestimate the famed difficulty of Dark Souls and its spiritual successor Demon’s Souls.  Rather than fitting nicely on the usual scale Dark Souls aims for a different sort of challenge altogether.  The truth is that action RPG fans have become accustomed to loose and silly combat that tends to boil down to flailing away at enemies with a lightning sword until someone dies.  In such encounters character stats tend to decide the victor while difficulty merely refers to the damage output and toughness of the…

    12 Jan 2012 | 7:25 pm
    Credit: AP The United States Army analyst suspected of passing classified information to Wikileaks should face a court martial, a military tribunal has recommended. Intelligence analyst Bradley Manning is alleged to have leaked US government cables to the whistle-blowing website. Accused of leaking thousands of documents and “aiding the enemy”, he could face life in prison if convicted. Pte Manning, 24, appeared for a pre-trial hearing in December, in which prosecutors pushed for a court martial. He was arrested in May 2010 in connection with the leak. The US Army said in a…

      This is definitely not your grandfather’s guitar. At $6100 this not-so run of the mill guitar better bring more to the table. The Gibson Les Paul Standard 2010, may look awesome, but there is something very cool that every tech lover would be interested in- it tunes itself. Hidden behind the pegs (or tuners), there are six tiny, but powerful, servos that adjust the tuners, until the proper pitch is found. When playing on stage, if needed, you could change the tune on the fly – while playing – using the bank of tuning presets.

But further down the list, a familiar name is making a charge: Amazon, with its Elastic Compute Cloud service, built a 17,024-core, 240-teraflop cluster that now ranks as the 42nd fastest supercomputer in the world. Amazon previously built a 7,040-core, 41.8-teraflop cloud cluster that hit number 233 on the list, then fell to 451st. But Amazon submitted an updated Linpack benchmark test with the addition of a new type of high-performance…

    Steve wept. And unlike Jesus, who famously wept over the death of Lazarus and the fate of Jerusalem, Jobs cried over just about everything. He cried at the beginning of Apple after Woz’s father pushed his son to take more ownership of the company because he thought Jobs wasn’t doing much work. Jobs went over to Woz’s home and bawled his eyes out. Woz kept him on. Jobs cried when his employee badge said #2 instead of #1 (which went to Woz), then ended up getting badge #0. He cried when Apple pushed him out of the company. He cried at Pixar during a battle with Disney. He…

But this year there were competing visions of that future. The industry leaders seemed to have divergent approaches to the development and marketing of “smart.”…

  • Pfizer Refuses To Write Lipitor’s Epitaph

    Tom Young
    20 Jan 2012 | 12:18 pm
    Did the world end for Pfizer’s Lipitor when it went generic late last year? Not as far as we can tell. In fact, Lipitor seems to be writing a new book on generic defense strategy. Generic competition began on November 30, 2011 in the U.S. For the first 180 days, only one competitor has market access, in this case Ranbaxy. This period of exclusivity is a putative reward for developing and getting approval for the first generic. In general, when a drug switches to a generic, the “bottom falls out” of the branded product, and again, generally-speaking, the market share for the branded…

Sales kicked off with a bang at the end of 2011; British shoppers spent a record £4.3 billion on the 26th and 27th December. Despite a tough economy this is a new record. The sales themselves were particularly impressive, with discounts of up to 80% off, so it’s no wonder some shoppers camped outside of their favourite shops overnight, waiting for the early morning 6am or 7am openings.

    In one of the most significant steps on data privacy in recent years, the European Commission is set tomorrow to put forward a comprehensive plan to reform the EU’s data protection rules.  As a starting point in this long process, the Commission should be lauded for tackling one of the most critical issues of the digital age.  At the same time we urge the Commission to refrain from adopting the overly prescription approach embodied in this draft which we feel would thwart access by EU member’s citizens to the full array of the most exciting products and services the digital economy has…

    For any data-driven enterprise hoping to grow its operations in Europe today, the vaunted Single Market is a chimera. Rather than a harmonized legal framework and clear rules for how companies must safeguard people’s personal information and preserve their privacy, one finds a confusing patchwork. Take the example of a cloud computing service that offers software tools, data storage, and processing power for enterprise-level clients to use in running their operations. The technology architecture of such a service should easily allow the cloud provider’s physical headquarters to be located…

    Old electric vehicle reports are useless: the subject is moving too fast. One year ago, it was widely believed that there were three key enabling technologies for hybrid and pure electric vehicles – batteries, motors and circuitry (electrics, electronics, telematics) – but “the battery is the car” in controlling cost and performance, so success revolves mainly around getting battery costs down and performance up, particularly improving energy density for pure electric vehicles.

    Nissan developed a paint for its cars which can fix scratches automatically by itself. Now Nissan is building a case for the iPhone using this material. So if you happen to drop your iPhone and scratch this cover, it will heal by itself. The healing process will take some time depending on the intensity of the scratch. This is made possible with the use of a special paint is made of polyrotaxane, which Nissan says reacts when its structure is changed and actually morphs back into its original shape, covering over the scratch.The case will be available later this year.[via The Verge]

    Matt Rosoff

    A couple weeks ago, Google started blending social information from Google+ into search results. The blogosphere's reaction to this change, which Google called Search Plus Your World, was swift, loud, and mostly negative. Twitter complained that Google was unfairly favoring its own social network over competitors, then a programmer at Facebook seemed to prove it. Worse yet, the results seemed to be less relevant in a lot of cases, leading a number of people to declare Bing the better search engine. But in all the noise, what do users think?

Awesome Samurai Umbrella I’ve seen one or two in the metro lately on one of my regular trips to work via the MRT. “They got through the security guards carrying those?” Was the first thought that crossed my mind when I first saw one, fooled into thinking they were really bladed Samurai replicas. “Or maybe they were used by…

    Wow, that didn’t take long. Narayan Babu from Dexetra spent a mere eight hours working on a Siri clone for Android Phones, named Iris. It answers many basic commands just like Siri does – you can ask it both serious and comedic-like things, and it’ll give you a response. Iris also displays images when it can (and makes them clickable). Based on the supplied screenshots and feedback it has received on the Android Market, Iris for Android seems to work quite well, given that the app is in its early stages.

Este nueva herramienta de gestión del tiempo ofrece la sincronización automática con Google Calendar, notas con fotos integradas, localizada actual y previsión del tiempo, gestión de lista de…

  • iDesk: un concepto de mesa interactiva al estilo Microsoft Surface

    Domadis Cabrera
    23 Jan 2012 | 5:50 pm
    Los amigos de MacLife han publicado algunas imágenes de un concepto llamado Apple iDesk, una mesa multitáctil que funciona similar a la Microsoft Surface. Imagina un espacio de trabajo totalmente adaptable que no solo sostiene tus equipos, sino que además los mejora y se relaciona con ellos. Al igual que con la tecnología de Microsoft Surface, todo el escritorio se comporta como una pantalla sensible al tacto capaz de ejecutar varias aplicaciones simultáneamente, algunas de las cuales (como la agenda, el teléfono y las notas Post-It) reemplazarían a sus homólogos físicos por…

    Si alguien se pregunta si la entrada de Apple en el mundo de los libros de texto digitales fue una buena idea, creo que tenemos una cifra que les ayudará a tener una mejor idea. Pues los usuarios han descargado 350,000 libros de texto digitales en sólo tres días. El enorme número viene después de que Apple anunciara la disponibilidad de los libros de texto digitales a través de la iBookstore el pasado jueves, con los títulos disponibles desde el primer día.

Facing criticism from both the public and Congress (PDF), Google is now responding to those claims on its public policy blog. ...

  • Automate Private Browsing With Ghost incognito For Chrome

    Paul Ciano
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:45 am
    Private browsing modes are included in all modern web browsers and are useful additions for when you want to make it more difficult for other parties to track your browsing sessions. Although it is not difficult to initiate this mode, it can be cumbersome to have to remember to switch over every time you need to privately access a site. If you’d like a way to automate this process and you use Google Chrome, try Ghost incognito. Ghost incognito is a Chrome extension that automatically opens sites of your choosing in incognito mode. After installation, a new icon will sit in the top of…

    Sometimes, the knowledge that an application is a powerful tool used by professionals for complicated, highly technical work, can leave the average user a bit intimidated. Perhaps, this feeling will result in the development of an aversion to the program and preclude any possibility of becoming more fluent in its use. If you find Microsoft Excel 2010 bewildering and you’d like to learn how to utilize basic formulas, you may find this post enlightening. To get started, a fundamental observation of how Excel spreadsheets are organized is required. A spreadsheet is basically a grid, and…

    If you are a Mac user, you may have noticed that application quitting behavior can be quite inconsistent. For some apps, closing the last window of the app also quits the application, like on Windows. For other apps, closing the last window will still leave the application running in the background, potentially consuming precious resources. Furthermore, if you are using OS X Lion, you may be irked by the new Resume feature, which recreates all the windows you had open when you last closed an app upon its subsequent re-opening. If you’d like to change how this crucial aspect of daily…

    Bill Wood
    23 Jan 2012 | 7:03 am
    SAP ReimplementationSome time ago I started a series on doing an SAP reimplementation for little more cost than a technical upgrade.  While I have done these, there were also a couple of interesting scenarios that added new complexities which needed to be addressed.  For example, how do companies deal with a seriously fragmented application landscape?  This is esepcially true in large enterprises where each company code, location, business unit, or other area decided to implement their own SAP applications independent of the others.  Then there are the companies with rollouts or upgrades…

  • Why Use the SAP ASAP Methodology?

    Bill Wood
    16 Jan 2012 | 7:40 am
    ASAP Methodology BackgroundIn the mid 1990’s SAP had gained a significant amount of bad press and publicity around several high profile project disasters that the company knew were completely avoidable. At that time Oracle, Baan, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft all had sales people making the case that SAP was too expensive, too complicated, and took too long to implement. In response SAP released the ASAP Methodology in the mid-late 90’s (around 1996 or 1997) because of the number of SAP projects that were going over time, over budget, and were at risk. It has been refined, polished,…

    With the thousands of minds and millions of dollars put into developing electric vehicle car batteries, it makes sense that companies are starting to “think outside the car” and look for the next application for energy storage. As energy grids get smarter and renewables account for a greater portion of the grid, grid operators are looking to new energy storage technologies to smooth out grid demands instead of relying on power plants running during peak demand times.According to Pike Research, there’s an estimated $122 billion in potential deployments over the next ten years.

  • Next-generation Vehicle Protection Jammer protects against IEDs

    27 Jan 2012 | 5:54 pm
    Improvised Explosive Devices, or IEDs, are one of the largest sources of coalition casualties in Iraq. Many of these IEDs take the form of roadside bombs, which are hidden on or alongside a road, then detonated when a moving vehicle passes near them. While there is more than one way of causing these bombs to detonate, they are often set off by a hidden human observer, using a radio-control device. Forces using the new Vehicle Protection Jammer from EADS subsidiary Cassidian, however, should find themselves at a greatly-reduced risk of such attacks... Continue Reading Next-generation Vehicle…

    admin
    25 Jan 2012 | 12:57 am
    There are few things more frustrating than working hard on your affiliate site for a couple of months only to see it suddenly disappear in the search engines seemingly overnight. Maybe telemarketing calls during dinner are more frustrating. But it’s up for debate. I wrote a post last year trying to educate people on what exactly is going on when your site gets (or seemingly gets) a penalty in the search engines and what you can do about it. But with changes in the search engines even since then, and new results coming to light, it’s become necessary for me to expand on that.

    Ever since Panda, most good SEOs have been drawing people’s attention to a few factors that according to the new algorithm changes, have greater importance as ranking factors now. Two of those are bounce rates, and time on site. If you missed all that talk, we’ve basically said that now, Google is looking more and more at how people interact with your website in order to determine it’s quality or lack thereof. So Google wants to see how long visitors are spending on your site (longer indicating greater quality than shorter) and at what rate people “bounce” from…

  • Stark WordPress Theme

    cjblythe
    25 Jan 2012 | 4:46 pm
    For some reason, the themes I use for my own blogs and websites are mostly fairly subdued, almost vintage looking with neutral and/or earthy colours. Yet, when I design, I tend to like high contrast themes using bright colors and geometric graphic elements with clean crisp lines and very open, readable, sans serif fonts. Stark is an example of the type of themes I like to design the most. It is open source, GPL licensed, has 2 columns with a left sidebar, is of fluid width and has both an upper menu and a vertical menu. The color scheme is high contrast with vivid red, black and white. One…

    Bright, optimistic and reminiscent of spring, the “Spring Wish” theme would suit any kind of blog or website. After the recent migration of my sites, I decided I was tired of the old Empty Nest Genealogy theme and wanted to design a new WordPress blog theme for my genealogy website. At first, I toyed with the idea of using “Spring Wish” before settling on a modification of “Write”. I added a right sidebar and created incremental transparencies for the backgrounds of the sheet, header and the content areas. “Spring Wish”, on the other hand, I…

I worked very hard to come up with a design that was good enough for this header image I’d been holding onto for quite a while. I had tried to design themes around it in the past, but always abandoned these efforts with disappointment. I wasn’t pleased with any of them. This one, however, is the one I’ve been waiting for. It will suit just about any type of website or blog and I can’t wait to see it being used by someone. This simple but rich and elegant WordPress…

    Empty Nest Themes is only one of four blogs I run. They’re a lot of work and that work can be extremely hard on my over-40 year old eyes. I’m sure you’ve all heard about the ‘over-40 year old eyes’ syndrome. True to popular belief, my eyes deteriorated rapidly after 40 years old – to the point that I needed bifocals within two years. I was new to bifocals and ‘stupid’ and not knowing any better, ended up paying $1200 for my progressive glasses at a local retail outlet. They even threw a free pair of prescription sunglasses!

    I’ve been hearing the same question again and again lately from people who are going to replace their motherboards: What’s going to happen to my Windows 7 installation? And why not worry? Microsoft certainly didn’t do a good job of preventing Windows XP from getting screwed up when you replaced the motherboard of a system running the OS. I figured that, instead of answering the question 1000 times, I’ll answer it once right here. The truth is that the result normally depends on what type of Windows installation you have; namely, whether you have an OEM or retail…

  • The Pirate Bay to encourage Magnet links : Plans to drop torrent files in the due course

    13 Jan 2012 | 10:03 am
    The largest file sharing website and torrent tracker The Pirate Bay has announced support to Magnet Links and also has proposed to drop the torrent files.This doesn’t mean that The Pirate Bay will no longer be a file sharing website as many think.Magnet Link is similar to torrents but rather than in a file form as in the case of torrents it is a URI.Magnet links don’t hold information on the location of a resource but rather on the content of the file or files to which they link. The Pirate Bay cannot implement or use advanced P2P file transfer technologies like DHT(Distributed…

  • 'Moon rocks' made here: tranquillityite discovered in Western Australia

    Birger Rasmussen, ARC Australian Professorial Fellow at Curtin University
    26 Jan 2012 | 9:08 pm
    By the time the Apollo Program ended in 1972 it had cost NASA roughly US$170 billion dollars (in today’s terms). It was seen as a waste of money by some, but almost 40 years since the launch of Apollo 17, we are still seeing significant returns on the investment. Among the most significant of those returns is the valuable information the lunar landings provided about our moon and, in turn, the planet we call home. Have you seen my rock collection? Prior to the Apollo missions, knowledge about the moon was limited to remote sensing, modelling and speculation. It was unclear what the moon was…

  • Do big servers have the edge at the Australian Open?

    Paul M. Sommers, Professor of Economics at Middlebury College

    With the Australian Open into its final few days, we’re starting to see the best tennis players in the world come to the fore. And to be the best in the world, you need a well-rounded game, including a powerful serve. But how much of a role does a powerful serve play when you get toward the end of a tournament? Is there a relationship between serve speed and ultimate tournament success? Does court surface play a role in determining the effectiveness of a serve? The four major Grand Slam tennis tournaments are contested on a range of surfaces: two hard courts (Australian Open and US Open),…

  • Wham, bam – what goes into your Australia Day lamb?

    Damian Frank, Researcher in Flavour and Sensory Science at CSIRO

    As you stand around the BBQ this Australia Day, savouring that quintessential aroma of grilling lamb, spare a thought for the selfless service of our unsung national heroes – our estimated 140 million plus sheep (ovis aries). And spare a thought for those that made them so tasty. The Australian sheep meat industry has benefited from decades of dedicated scientific research by organisations such as state departments of primary industry and CSIRO. Without that, it’s unlikely your grilled lamb chops would be quite as fresh, juicy, succulent, tender and deliciously flavoursome. These days the…

    To its credit, the Australian Government is making a concerted push into science outreach with the tritely-named Inspiring Australia program. This includes $5 million in funding through the equally tritely-named Unlocking Australia’s Potential grant scheme – intended to “inspire people with science”. Now, I’m all about science outreach. (In fact, I’m also all about philosophy outreach too. You might call it reason outreach, all up. But let’s stick to science for now.) I firmly believe the greatest existential challenge faced by humanity is the spread of unreason, for unreason…

    Binoy Kampmark, Lecturer in Global Studies, Social Science &Planning at RMIT University

    It all starts with a disastrous human presumption: the animal world is there to be used, abused and mocked. Cage it, memorialise it, idealise it, and worship its remains with a sickly reverence through cable television subscriptions. This is the anthropomorphic premise behind Monster Bug Wars, a show that starts its second season on Foxtel’s Animal Planet channel this evening. It might be worm vs. spider, cockroach vs. mantid, ant vs. land crab, and so on. In Monster Bug Wars, animals are merely human representatives writ large, killing, maiming and eating with lusty bravura. Humans, it…

    Priyanka
    21 Jan 2012 | 9:02 am
    Recently, you must have noticed around the web that one of the most popular file hosting sites- Megaupload- has been seized by the FBI for contributing pirated files. In this sudden shut down of the site, lots of users have lost their files as no warning or alert has been received. This has been a great loss for Megaupload users as they couldn’t save or take a back up their files. Today, only Megaupload has been locked down but tomorrow any other similar file hosting site can be a prey to this anti- piracy campaign. So, therefore, I suggest every user to start taking a back up of their…

  • NHS New electronic Drug chart system- Is it really worth it?

    Now we all now how much people say that the NHS needs more money however, it seems if the NHS actually spent it properly we may be better off. The prime example which I recently experienced was the adaptation from paper drug charts to an electronic system. Firstly the NHS have had to spend money on laptops for each bay in the hospital so that the nurse can carry out his/her duties. Now I am sure that it would be much better to spend this on extra staff.  Secondly all who use the new software for simply handing out medicines have to be trained to use it this takes time and money.

Is there any point to existence or do we quite simply… exist. Well most of us believe that there must be some point to living this is due to most things we do on the world having a point.

    Tim Conneally
    27 Jan 2012 | 2:06 pm
    According to a number of reports on Friday, the head of HP's mobile efforts, Jon Rubinstein, has left the company. Hewlett-Packard acquired Palm in 2010 as a move to advance in the smartphone business. But after a little more than one year and a just a few new mobile devices, HP killed the Palm brand, dissolved its mobile business unit, and turned webOS into an open source project. So after four years championing webOS as the savior of Palm, then as the key to the mobile kingdom for HP, Rubinstein is returning to the sidelines. He has announced no plans for the immediate future.

Real close: 36.5 million smartphones, according to Strategy Analytics. Together, the two companies accounted for 47 percent of fourth-quarter smartphone shipments. The horse race between the companies sours Apple apologist arguments about iPhone vs Android. Staunch iPhone defenders blow off Android competition as one against many. But on the one-to-one comparison, Apple isn't so high and mighty. Samsung is keeping pace…

    Want to do more with VideoPad? You can add VirtualDub Video Plugin Effects to VideoPad Video Editor, giving you access to additional tools and effects. Some of the most common VirtualDub plugin features you will find out there have already been added as built-in features of VideoPad, but there are certainly more out there if you take a little time to look.

    Facebook is constantly changing ever since its initial launch in 2004 and it continues to go through facelifts. The newest update is probably the biggest and it is called Timeline. Your profile page layout completely changes, with one large picture at the top acting as a banner and the rest of your information (posts, pictures and statuses, etc.) reading like a cool website for yourself. You can go as far back as when you first logged on or to when you were born. Timeline acts almost as your life scrap book and is great for those who love to reminisce.Initially Facebook Timeline was only made…

    Google, the de facto standard for search on the internet, has made our lives a lot simpler by putting information at our fingertips. The ease with which we can find almost anything on the world wide web is quite astounding, even for those who’ve seen the search giant grow from a simple webpage to a multi-billion dollar giant. That said, Google is not perfect, that is, there are a few areas where a tweaker would love to get his or her hands dirty. Thankfully, though, there are some great Chrome extensions that fulfill that need without you having to learn any coding or scripting. So, without…

Overall, they were about what I expected, which is to say, slower growth than in earlier quarters in 2011 but still positive growth. As such, they countered some though not all of the negative picture presented by Oracle's weak results in its quarter ending November 30, 2011 (see…

    WordPress permalink structure is perhaps the most debated issue be it in WordPress specific forums or on other blogs. Earlier at DailyBlogging I had kept the permalink structure to /%year%/%month%/%date%/%postname%. But after a week or two I changed that to /%category%/%postname%/.The reasons were pretty logical for this change. First: I seldom used to post daily because there was hardly any use of posting tons of post everyday when there is no one to read them. So having a date specific permalink was nothing short of a blogging suicide.Second: I liked the inclusion of the category slug as it…

In this exotic country, the social networking site Orkut seemed to rule supreme and unspoiled. But, as it happened to Myspace a while back, it doesn’t take a long time for things to be completely turned upside down. So in the last few months, numbers have been reversed dramatically. It seems that Brazilians have been abandoning their loyalty to Orkut and have been changing their preferences. Thus now massive numbers of subscribers have been added to the Facebook and Twitter machinery.

A cloud provider never offered me Red Sox tickets after a volume purchase. Purchasing and deploying capacity based on 12 month sales projections. Sales is never wrong.

    When reading iBooks using the Apple iPad, particularly if you are using the new iBooks Author application, it may not be immediately obvious how to navigate from an open book back to the library. To navigate back to the Library you need to tap the open book just once which brings up a menu bar at the top of the screen with buttons for Library, Book Navigation, Notes, Screen Brightness, Zooming and Bookmarking. You can also double-tap a particular word to highlight, define or copy a word or phrase and you can also attach notes and search for further occurrences of the phrase.

    If there is one bad thing about jQuery, it’s that the entry level is so amazingly low, that it tends to attract those who haven’t an ounce of JavaScript knowledge. Now, on one hand, this is fantastic. However, on the flip side, it also results in a smattering of, quite frankly, disgustingly bad code (no one is immune to this). But that’s okay; frighteningly poor code that would even make your grandmother gasp is a rite of passage. The key is to climb over the hill, and that’s what we’ll discuss today.

    Dragon Go! is a far superior alternative to Android's standard voice command app, having already proved itself with its powerful desktop voice recognition software. Sometimes it's best to call in an expert to perform tasks that others seem to muddle through. Many, myself included, have long been frustrated with Android's often inept voice recognition app. It never seems to understand what your saying, and instead of polite conversation you usually end up yelling profanities at it. Enter "Dragon Go!", the far superior alternative voice recognition app for Android. Voice recognition is what the…
