  • Facebook May Be Worth $100B, But What Are You Worth To Facebook?

    It’s almost here. The big day. Can you feel the excitement? Yes, if all goes according to plan on Friday, Mark Zuckerberg will ring the Nasdaq bell in a hoodie, the big blue social network will go forward with one of the largest IPOs for an internet company in history, the markets will hit a fever pitch, the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse will update their statuses — and the rest of us will just go back to using Twitter. Nonetheless, Facebook is expected to go public at a valuation between $92 and $103 billion. As such, it’s pretty clear what Facebook is worth to us…

  • Giving iPad PowerPoint Presentations Just Got a Lot Better

    15 May 2012 | 11:01 pm
    One of the iPad's more intriguing business uses is making presentations before a live audience. The device is portable and fun to use, and the swipe and pinch gestures can make for some dramatic presentations. Sadly, iPad presentations haven't lived up to their potential - especially for users of Microsoft PowerPoint. But the lastest version of Brainshark's free SlideShark app could help change that.    Normally, the latest version of a mobile app wouldn't merit coverate on ReadWriteWeb, but this is a game changer, especially for experienced speakers who are used to running their…

  • FDA approves 20 minute take-home HIV test

    16 May 2012 | 4:00 am
    One of the biggest problems in fighting the spread of AIDS has always been convincing people to have themselves tested regularly. Unfortunately, getting someone to take a trip to a clinic isn't always easy, particularly in areas where there aren't many options for discrete testing. In a development that could leap right over this privacy hurdle, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has just unanimously approved an over-the-counter HIV test that enables people to test themselves in their own home and receive results in just 20 minutes. ..

    Aside from arable land, most farm crops require significant amounts of water, fertilizer, nutrients and pesticides to grow. While specialized breeding is often used to help produce plants that require less of these inputs, Purdue University researcher Burkhard Schulz has found a way to create tiny versions of plants that suffer no reduction in yield through the addition of a cheap and widely available chemical. ..

  • Smartsense navigation system works where GPS won't - indoors

    Nick Moore
    16 May 2012 | 12:40 am
    It's not that long ago that GPS capabilities in a mobile phone were considered a standout feature. Today, GPS navigation is standard for smartphones, and as a result, many of us have come to rely on them when it comes to getting from A to B. However, GPS technology isn't without its faults, and if A to B is located under a roof, out of sight of the orbiting GPS satellites, then you can end up falling back on the not always reliable sense of direction. To fix the problem, Fraunhofer Research is developing Smartsense, a smartphone sensor capable of providing accurate navigation indoors, without…

  • Firebase: Syncing Data between Clients

    7 May 2012 | 9:17 am
    Firebase is a cloud service that automatically synchronizes data between clients and with their cloud servers. It frees developers from worrying about how their data will be communicated and stored, and allows them to focus on their own application logic. Apps built with Firebase can be written entirely with client-side JavaScript, update in real-time out-of-the-box, are inherently scalable, and interoperate well with existing services. “Firebase is a scalable real-time backend. What that means in layman terms is it’s like Dropbox for your applications data. It really let you build great…

    Zaarly is altering the way people outsource simple errands and tasks. The site works by letting people post requests for an item or service, and then lets other people, businesses and companies bid to fulfill those needs. Once an agreement is met, Zaarly connects the two parties so they can complete the deal. People can either pay in cash when the service is complete, or through Zaarly’s payment system. In March 2011 during SXSWi in Austin, Texas, Zaarly was beta-tested and introduced nationally in early May of the same year. Since then, the company has attracted over 100,000 users and…

    It's the single greatest dilemma of modern society: How much freedom would you trade to get more security - or vice versa? Since Windows XP became the most exploited operating system in history, Microsoft has taken bold moves - not all of them very popular, but usually very effective - to sever the routes of exploit. User Account Control, though controversial, eliminated perhaps 90% of account-elevation exploits. Now the company makes another bold security move - changing how Windows 8 boots to increase security, potentially at the cost of some freedom for certain users and…

When it comes to social networking, a recent study suggests, you can run but you can't hide.  A paper published last month in the journal PLoS One shows how researchers were able to learn about nonmembers of social networks based on information their friends posted online. Using machine-learning models, German researchers Emöke-Ágnes Horvát, Michael Hanselmann, Fred A.

As scientists have been able to see farther and deeper into the universe, the laws of gravity have been revealed to be under the influence of an unexplained force.

  • All the talk about Apple taking over mapping on iOS sounds great. Can't wait. However, I haven't heard much on the turn by turn front. This is the one area, the only area, where I'm jealous of Android users. Without turn by turn, I'll continue to have to use a 3rd party app for 90 percent of my mapping usage. So, my obvious question: Have you heard if Apples new map app will include a (vocal) turn by turn feature?

    15 May 2012 | 8:32 pm
    I haven’t heard anything specifically about this, but my guess is that Apple has been hard at work on it for some time. The fact that the maps update is coming seems like a good sign. Or it may take longer. Not sure. They know this is one of the remaining “low-hanging fruits”, as John Gruber calls them, that they can add to iOS. It’s also an area where Android is, without question, winning — as in, actually winning, not “winning”.

    In a presentation to financial analysts on May 10, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said he was not particularly worried about the prospect of Microsoft issuing a version of Windows for ARM processors later this year. “We think [x86 is] a differentiator,” he said. “We have the advantage of the incumbency, the legacy support.” Maybe he’s right. But it is disconcerting to hear this sort of complacency from the head of Intel, especially at a time when ARM-powered smartphones and tablets pose an unprecedented threat to Intel’s core laptop and desktop business.

  • Tablet Computing in Portrait Mode

    Ben Bajarin
    11 May 2012 | 10:07 am
    Last week I wrote about my two must have iPad accessories. In that list I included the Logitech Ultra-thin Keyboard Cover. Among the many reasons I like this case over similarly good ones like the Zagg Folio or the Adonit is because it allows me to do computing on my iPad in portrait mode. It is very interesting to me that so many companies who make keyboard accessories assume that when you want to use the keyboard you want to use it with the screen sideways or in landscape mode. Even the Logitech Ultra-thin case has the smart cover magnet in the dock groove assuming you want to prop it up…

  • DISH Hopper: What Goes Around Comes Around

    Steve Wildstrom
    11 May 2012 | 7:26 am
    Satellite TV operator DISH Network got a lot of attention when it announced its new Hopper DVR with a feature that “can automatically skip commercials in primetime TV – ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC in HD. Only on the Hopper. Only from DISH.” The Replay 4000 DVR from 2002. A cool feature, but hardly new. When ReplayTV introduced the first DVR in 1999, it included a 30-second skip-forward button, a revolutionary idea at the time. (Replay was the brainchild of Anthony Wood, who went on to found Roku.) Three years later, Replay, by then owned by SonicBLUE, introduced the Replay 4000. The…

    The are almost too many tech events in the calendar these days to mark any particular one out as being worthy of note. I say almost because, on the global stage at least, TechCrunch Disrupt (Ok, Ok, but still…) remains up there because of how much other media attend and, well, just it’s general awesomeness. Into this small basket you could also put, for instance, Le Web, Founders Forum in the UK, DLD, The Lobby Conference, the tech elements at Davos and maybe even TED. What few of them are doing however, is celebrating new blood. You tend to see the people who have made it, not…

Yes, if all goes according to plan on Friday, Mark Zuckerberg will ring the Nasdaq bell in a hoodie, the big blue social network will go forward with one of the largest IPOs for an internet company in history, the markets will hit a fever pitch, the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse will update their statuses — and the rest of us will just go back to using Twitter. Nonetheless, Facebook is expected to go public at a valuation between $92 and $103 billion. As such, it’s pretty clear what Facebook is worth to us…

  • Gartner: Q1 2012 Phone Sales Declined 2%, Dragged Down By Asia-Pacific. Samsung Leads All

    Ingrid Lunden
    16 May 2012 | 4:25 am
    Sign of a maturing marketing flattening out, a lack of compelling devices, or a contraction in the economy? Gartner today released figures that note that worldwide sales of mobile phones were actually down by two percent this quarter, to reach a total of 419.1 million units — the first time the market has declined since the second quarter of 2009, the analysts say. Gartner’s explanation is a slowdown in demand from Asia-Pacific, because of a lack of compelling new devices getting launched in the period: users are simply holding out until something better comes along. Nevertheless,…

The most famous one is of course the Darth Vader kid, which you can and MUST watch here. Then came the sequel in Superbowl 2012. You can watch that one here.

To determine how to design a lightweight and efficient chair that’s sturdy enough to support a wide variety of users. When someone sat in the chair, monitors recorded data and processed it with an “algorithm that determines the most structurally efficient version of the chair,” according to the blog Co.Design.

The airline plans to make in-flight calling available first on its flight from London to New York. By the end of the year, in-flight calling will be available on 17 planes and at least 10 routes. Calls will be restricted to the time the plane is actually in the air – so you’ll still have to power off when the plane takes off or lands – and American laws require the service to be turned off when the…

    Even though just about every objective statistic suggests otherwise, the copyright industries still take turns bemoaning the terrible toll that piracy is supposedly taking on their markets.

    We recently wrote about Twitter's decision to stand up for a user in court, fighting against a court ruling that said that a user has no proprietary interest in their own tweets and info, such that those users cannot contest a government attempt to subpoena information from Twitter. This is not the first time that Twitter has aggressively stood up for its users' rights against government excess -- in a world where that's quite rare. When the government comes calling, most companies roll right over. In response to this, the folks over at Fight for the Future have put together a petition page,…

Brill runs Press+, one of the first companies that built a business around setting up paywalls for publications. They focus on NYT/FT-like "metered" paywalls, where you get some content for free, but if you hit a certain number of pages, you're locked out unless you pay. Brill, whose company had to sell out to a much larger player recently (suggesting it's not as successful as he makes it out to be), insists during the episode that there is no way to make money giving away journalism…

    When Facebook made it easy to share what videos you were watching, companies like Socialcam, Metacafe, DailyMotion and Viddy rocketed up the app-charts and saw a sharp increase in the usage and downloads of these apps. Of course, with this friction-less sharing actions came howls of complaints from Facebook’s users. Well, it seems the party has come to an end. The reality check is eerily reminiscent of the decline in attention for social news-reader applications. AppData.com statistics show a sharp decline in the number of daily active users of these services.

    There’s a principle of application design that beautiful means usable, but a new study out of Google suggests that’s not always the case. Rather, the researchers found, while beauty doesn’t necessarily affect perceived usability, poor usability can negatively affect perceived beauty. The study is far from conclusive, but as consumerization continues to sweep through software design, it might offer some warning worth heeding. Nobody wants a reputation as selling a product that’s both unusable and ugly. The subject is on the top of my mind after recently writing a piece for GigaOM Pro…

Although our love of smartphones continued to blossom, with sales of that subcategory up nearly 45 percent, it wasn't enough to stave off a two percent overall decline compared to the same quarter in 2011. A total of 419.1 million handsets were sold, representing the first hiccup after nearly three years of growth and leading analysts to point fingers at a slow down in the Asia / Pacific region as well as a lack of product launches at the start of the year. Meanwhile, these figures also confirm what was already gleaned…

  • Go-Go Dog Pals lets you exercise Rover without tapping your precious calorie reserve

    16 May 2012 | 3:42 am
    Sure you love your dog, but having him watch you sit on the sofa doesn't constitute playtime. Standing up and even running around outside together will surely get the job done, but why get up for exercise when you're perfectly comfortable on the couch? That's the idea behind Go-Go Dog Pals, coined "the funnest most fun way to exercise your dog." Unless you have a few acres to play with beyond the front door, you'll still need to to bring Rover out to the yard before unleashing the wireless gopher look-alike, but there finally appears to be a solution for controlling your dog just as you do…

    Be still your beating heart, Samsung has announced that several customers who have already fallen for its incoming flagship's charms will get their pre-orders honored a day early. Unfortunately, it will be limited to those that ordered through its own brand store in Westfield Stratford City in London, but those lucky few will get their very own Galaxy S III at 6pm on May 29th -- half a day before the rest of the UK. We're planning to get our hands on a review model before then, so expect to see our fully-fleshed musings before the end of May.Continue reading Galaxy S III will launch a day…

  • iPhone waltzes into top spot of US phone satisfaction index, small carriers trump the giants

    Jon Fingas
    16 May 2012 | 3:19 am
    We know almost too well how smartphones perform in US market share; what we don't usually see is how happy customers are once the shrink wrap's off. Going by a newly-expanded American Customer Satisfaction Index, it's the iPhone that most scratches the itch at a score of 83. Despite having just been added, Apple was noticeably ahead of a three-way tie between HTC, LG and Nokia at 75. You might not want to look if you're a freshly-minted RIM executive: the BlackBerry made its freshman debut on the charts at the bottom, or 69. Big carriers have their own reasons to wince, too, knowing that…

Taiwan's DigiTimes, an online trade news site, reported that Apple recently placed large mobile dynamic random access memory (DRAM) orders with Elpida's 12-inch plant in Hiroshima, Japan, securing around half the facilities total chip production. It cited unnamed industry sources in its report, which hit shares of major chip suppliers to Apple. ...

  • HTC shares tumble as patent case delays U.S. sales

    16 May 2012 | 1:55 am
    TAIPEI (Reuters) - U.S. sales of two new smartphones from Taiwan's HTC Corp will be delayed due to a patent dispute with Apple Inc, a fresh blow to the company as it tries to turn around declining sales in what was once its largest market. Shares in HTC tumbled more than 6 percent after it said shipments of the phones were being held up by U.S. customs officials. Apple scored a narrow victory against HTC in a patent lawsuit in December over technology in the smartphones, one of many such disputes in the fiercely competitive smartphone market. HTC said in a statement on Wednesday that "the…

    Ogmento is a gaming company dedicated to the creation of high-quality augmented reality games. Although AR games aren’t that rare – the 3DS does a few quite well and there are a number available on mobile phones – Ogmento is focusing on higher-end experiences. The demo above shows how they’re able to track targets in real time and, with a few button presses, have a tank fire into a crowd of luminaries including Will Wright and Bruce Sterling.

A new game on Kickstarter called Incantor promises some real-live olde timey majicke fun for your iPhone.

  • Ask Forgiveness, Not Permission: Why Dish “Ad-Skipping” Tech Irks TV Execs

    When Dish announced their new ad-skipping tech, response was fairly muted. Sure it was some cool technology – the experience is seamless in that you notice maybe the first second of a commercial and then a little notification pops you over the commercials entirely – but TV execs are reportedly upset by Dish’s unilateral decision. Fox’s Peter Rice said it was “a strange thing to do” and NBC is still evaluating it. However, what is really interesting is that Dish decided to go ahead with the service at all. The system works because Dish is currently recording…

The real world does not have such advanced technology yet, but we are getting close with Zachary, a 12-year old boy who has been diagnosed with the rare X-linked myotubular myopathy disease which affected males only, preventing him from going to school. This has not stopped Zachary though, as he is now testing a specially designed robot that can be controlled using a computer in order to be at school.

    According to the Wall Street Journal, Google could be brewing a new strategy for its Android mobile operating system. A source familiar with the matter allegedly told the WSJ that Google is planning to grant mobile device manufacturers an early access to new releases of Android in a bid to prevent wireless carriers from controlling the devices. That was pretty the plan with the Nexus S, and although it was a great device, the plan was basically a commercial “flop”. Based on what it has done in the past, Google will usually give one manufacturer an early look at the latest version…

Perhaps it is time to beef things up a bit with the Honda UNI-CUB personal mobility device, where it offers a similar amount of freedom of movement across different directions, something that walking on your own two feet provide. It does seem to resemble the U3-X personal mobility device somewhat which Honda first unveiled to the world back in 2009, the UNI-CUB will come with Honda’s proprietary balance control technology as well as…

    It seems that someone made a boo-boo somewhere today, where a Mass Effect 3 DLC was spotted earlier before Sony removed it – and it was surely an accident (on purpose or not, that remains another question to be answered on a different day), otherwise Sony would not have pulled the plug on the Mass Effect 3 DLC. Despite removing it, it was too late not to know more about the Mass Effect 3 DLC, where it came with a couple of new maps as well as half a dozen more classes.

    Forget the Prime Evil that is Diablo, even he is no match for Error 3003. With a sea of gamers trying to log on into Diablo 3 after it was released, there were plenty of gamers experiencing time outs as well as different error messages. Two of the more popular ones we saw were Error 3006, Error 12 and Error 37 – I guess with the turn of the tide, the most popular error now would be Error 3003 as you can see above. Not only that, there are other gamers who have also reported on an Error 75, but so far that error has remained rather reclusive, so it might be some time before she ends up…

    Facebook's march toward its IPO has put a harsh spotlight on the social network's shortcomings, and one of the primary worries among prospective investors is that Facebook doesn't have very sharp mobile chops. There are a million things it could be doing in mobile to draw in more revenue, they say, but it's still an area in which the network moves painfully slowly. Maybe that's exactly why I often prefer to use Facebook through its mobile iOS app. Facebook on iOS is uncluttered and streamlined, it doesn't change often, and if there are ads anywhere on it, I don't notice them.

    There seems to be a built in negative filter for most people when it comes to the concept of humans being dependent, or “addicted” to technology.  They assume that anytime people are unnaturally attached to a device, there must be a form of psychosis involved.  Surely this stems from a deep-seated belief that anything that was not naturally grown inside our body is by definition – artificially augmenting ourselves.  Admittedly this is a slippery slope.  We have deemed using steroids or HGH an unfair advantage in building ones body for athletics.  Yet we are OK with laser eye…

    OK, this is rather interesting. An app that provides private browsing on your iOS device. The Onion Browser for iOS private browsing provides, potentially, for a safe browsing experience in the event that your phone gets pinched by border agents. From Lifehacker: We’ve talked about ways to Tor in Chrome and Firefox before, and Onion Browser uses the same basic premise. It tunnels your browsing through a Tor proxy server so websites don’t see your IP address and it encrypts all of your information before it leaves your device.

    Developer Techno
    14 May 2012 | 11:58 am
    The lure of cloud computing is its elasticity: You can add as much capacity as you need to process and analyze your data. The data might be processed on clusters of computers. This means that the analysis is occurring across machines. Companies are considering this approach to help them manage their supply chains and inventory control. Or, consider the case of a company processing product data, from across the country, to determine when to change a price or introduce a promotion. This data might come from the point-of-sale (POS) systems across multiple stores in multiple states. POS systems…

    MongoDB has the notion of drivers. Drivers for most mainstream libraries are available for interfacing and interacting with MongoDB. CouchDB uses web-standard ways of interaction and so you can connect to it using any programming language that supports the web idiom of communication. Wrappers for some languages make communication to CouchDB work like drivers for MongoDB, though CouchDB always has the RESTful HTTP interface available. Redis, Membase, Riak, HBase, Hypertable, Cassandra, and Voldemort have support for language bindings to connect from most mainstream languages. Many of these…

  • COMPARING NOSQL PRODUCTS - Querying Support

    Storage is one part of the puzzle. The other is querying the stored data. Easily and effectively querying data is almost mandatory for any database to be considered seriously. It can be especially important when building the operational data store for applications with which people are interacting. An RDBMS thrives on SQL support, which makes accessing and querying data easy. Standardized syntax and semantics make it an attractive choice. The fi rst chapter in this book talks about the quest for a SQL-like query language in the world of NoSQL. Among document databases, MongoDB provides the…

  • COMPARING NOSQL PRODUCTS - Data Modeling

    Developer Techno
    4 May 2012 | 12:44 pm
    RDBMS offers a consistent way of modeling data. Relational algebra underlies the data model. The theory is well established and implementation is standardized. Therefore, consistent ways of modeling and normalizing data is well understood and documented. In the NoSQL world there is no such standardized and well-defined data model. This is because all NoSQL products do not intend to solve the same problem or have the same architecture. If you need an RDBMS-centric data model for storage and querying and cannot under any circumstances step outside those definitions, just don’t use NoSQL. If,…

    Developer Techno
    30 Apr 2012 | 12:38 pm
    Transactional integrity is relevant only when data is modified, updated, created, and deleted. Therefore, the question of transactional integrity is not pertinent in pure data warehousing and mining contexts. This means that batch-centric Hadoop-based analytics on warehoused data is also not subject to transactional requirements. Many data sets like web traffic log files, social networking status updates (including tweets or buzz), advertisement click-through imprints, road-traffic data, stock market tick data, and game scores are primarily, if not completely, written once and read multiple…

Unfortunately to a lot of these gamers, they can’t even get past the login screen with Blizzard giving them an Error 37.

    Trying to cement itself in the affordable, dual-SIM, Android handset niche, Alcatel adds another Blaze phone, the 985N, which is a slight upgrade from their dual-SIM Glory X 918N released late last month. It seems that there’s really a market for dual-SIM Android smartphones in the sub-P10,000 region and Alcatel plans to capitalize that by adding the Blaze 985N. It looks like the Glory X 918N but this one has a slim metallic strip surrounding the sides, a chrome Home button and that rubbery back panel for a better grip. As for specs, the 985N now has a 3.5-inch screen but the…

According to multiple sources, the new MacBook Pro will feature a new, ultra-thin unibody design, USB 3.0 ports (a first for Apple,) and at the center of it all, a "jaw-dropping" Retina display. How's Apple gonna achieve making a thin notebook even thinner? With the removal of two components. First, the optical drive is going bye-bye. Apple started phasing out optical drives with the release of the original MacBook Air, and then continued the trend with the latest Mac mini. With the…

With speeds of up to 1.3Gbps, the new 802.11ac standard is three times faster than 802.11n, but the only problem is that there aren't any 802.11ac chips installed in any computers yet, so buying the router right now would just mean you are preparing for the future. Luckily, it's backwards compatable with 802.11a/b/g/n standards, so you're good there. The AirStation AC1300 media bridge allows you to connect up to four wired devices to your new…

    Kyle Baxter
    14 May 2012 | 2:28 pm
    Tyler Cowen asks what the definition of “austerity” is, and sort of answers it: I wonder if some Keynesians have in mind the baseline of “the expansionary policies which I think would be appropriate,” in which case doing less than the Keynesian optimum is always a form of austerity. I have a more simple definition: it’s a word used to cast moral and emotional judgment on a set of policies without having to actually discuss what those policies are and whether they may be justified or have some basis.

  • The Importance of After-Sale Marketing

    Mark Evans
    15 May 2012 | 6:30 am
    For startups, attracting a user (free or paid) can be a huge challenge and an accomplishment given their fickleness and the intense competition. It means having strong messaging about what the product does, the value propositions and benefits, and then making sure enough people become aware of it through different marketing and sales channels. There’s a lot of moving parts to win over a customer. The problem for many companies, including startups, is their marketing efforts stop once the user is registered and/or the sale is completed. All the marketing work to get someone to learn…

    I was recently invited by MaRS to do a marketing presentation for its Entrepreneurship 101 program. It was nice to be invited back and, at the same time, fascinating to see how the presentation and my experience has evolved over the past year. While social media has become more entrenched as a marketing and sales tool, the common denominator is the importance of storytelling, regardless of whether those stories are told – be it Websites, social media, videos, brochures, case studies and white papers.

  • Why Startups Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Sell

    Mark Evans
    11 May 2012 | 6:30 am
    I like startups that sell a product. It means they’re operating a business that hinges on getting consumers to spend money as opposed to offering a product that enough people will like that it magically delivers a way to generate revenue. In my opinion, too many startups are afraid to sell their products. They’re afraid there’s too much competition, they’re afraid not enough consumers will be willing to pay for it,  and they’re afraid of not getting the traction to attract investors or an acquirer. Instead, they take the easy way out by offering their product…

  • What’s Your Story, Morning Glory?

    Mark Evans
    8 May 2012 | 5:49 am
    Everyone likes stories. Our love of stories starts when we’re children, and keeps on going. For startups, telling a good story is as important as creating a product or service that solves a problem, makes life easier or simply entertains. So it is always surprising (and disappointing) when a startup does a bad job of story telling, particularly if they have a good product or service. Without a good story, many people may never discover the service because the initial impression is it is not compelling, interesting or useful. The thing about good stories is they’re told in…

The online video hosting, distribution, and advertising network of choice for thousands of independent creators of original web series updated its interface (which felt, looked, and operated much like it did when the site launched way back in 2005) to something more easy on the eyes and more easily navigable that would assist viewers in discovering new programing and entice them to stick around for a while. The new design seems, at least in part, to be working. Mike Shields at Adweek reports while Blip’s audience declined in the past year 11% to 5.1…

    Spot Cool Tech Stuff
    10 May 2012 | 1:57 pm
    For years now, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II has been a favorite mid-range digital SLR among serious photographers. The workhorse of a camera took professional-quality images and offered a huge feature set—and did so for a relatively low price. Then, two things happened: First, Canon came out with an updated version of the Mark II—the EOS 5D Mark III. Second, Canon reduced the price of the Mark II by $500. Both the 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III are, inarguably, excellent full-feature SLR cameras. But now that there’s a serious 5D choice, which of the two is the better option for you? Spot…

Indeed, the Samsung Note really is something different—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…

    The sweet sound of silence may be departing the friendly skies now that Virgin Atlantic has announced that in-flight mobile calls will come to at least 10 of the airline's routes by the end of this year. Even though Virgin has multiple US destinations, American law dictates cell service must be turned off within 250 miles of US airspace. A company called AeroMobile will provide the in-flight cell access, which is only available for a limited bandwidth, meaning only a few lines can be accessed per flight.

    15 May 2012 | 10:00 am
    Although the Google TV platform—which uses the Android operating system and Google's Chrome browser—hasn't met with much success, LG will try to change that situation with a new G2 series of 3D LCD TVs that will be available later this month.

  • Verizon landline phone service is ho-hum, but new DSL customers must get it

    Consumer Reports News
    14 May 2012 | 2:30 pm
    Verizon is now compelling new subscribers to its DSL Internet service to also take landline voice service. Yet that phone service, like comparable services from AT&T, Frontier, and others, received only middling satisfaction scores in our newly released survey* of subscribers' home telecom services, including Ratings of phone, Internet, and TV services. The decision, which went into effect on May 6, has been decried by Consumers' Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, which says it will "further reduce the affordability and availability of broadband services to consumers."

    Today many smartphones don’t come with styluses, but if you prefer using stylus over your fingers, today we have a perfect stylus for you.

    Gaga Duck is an iPhone game that features 2 types of games wrapped into one: a Reverse Jumper and a Shooter game where your Duck and his robot friend (Yamu) work together to clean out the garbage-ridden pond throughout the 3 challenging game modes. It is about time a developer turned the traditional Jumper game upside down, where the player has to go down farther and farther — opposite of the norm. Not sure if it’s me or this game, but I found Gaga Duck to be a good challenge, and it takes some time to get use to going down and not up — just saying. Your duck (Gaga) and Yamu…

Math has never been one of my strong subjects, but the “Hands On Equations” method presents algebra in a tangible, common sense approach that just clicked for me. I guess it’s because the method requires you to interact with each problem, literally in a “hands-on way.” The method includes…

    You may recall that, in the case of Joel Tenenbaum -- who is in a legal battle with some major lbels for file sharing -- a jury awarded the labels $675,000 for the sharing of just a few songs. The judge, Nancy Gertner, pointed out that this seemed unconstitutionally excessive and reduced the award to $67,500 -- knocking 90% off the jury's award. The appeals court in the case reinstated the original $675,000 on procedural grounds. It said that Judge Gertner jumped the gun in leaping to the constitutional question, rather than using remittitur, as had been done in the Jammie Thomas case.

  • The Sky Continues To Rise: EU Gross Box Office Returns And EU Film Production Both Hit Record Highs In 2011

    16 May 2012 | 2:38 am
    Even though just about every objective statistic suggests otherwise, the copyright industries still take turns bemoaning the terrible toll that piracy is supposedly taking on their markets. So it's good to come across some official figures that suggest the contrary, particularly because in this case they come from the European Audiovisual Observatory—not a market research company, but a public service body. Here are the latest numbers for the European film industry: 2011 was a year of stabilisation at the European box office as the marked upward trend of GBO [gross box office] of the…

  • Thank Twitter For Standing Up For User Rights

    Mike Masnick
    15 May 2012 | 10:42 pm
    We recently wrote about Twitter's decision to stand up for a user in court, fighting against a court ruling that said that a user has no proprietary interest in their own tweets and info, such that those users cannot contest a government attempt to subpoena information from Twitter. This is not the first time that Twitter has aggressively stood up for its users' rights against government excess -- in a world where that's quite rare. When the government comes calling, most companies roll right over. In response to this, the folks over at Fight for the Future have put together a petition page,…

    Everybody at one time or another wishes they had a better memory. There are some techniques and memory exercises to help improve the way people memorize lists, but some things are just more memorable than others. Some research is starting to delve into why we remember some things but not others, and here are just a few interesting links that you might want to write down. An analysis of IMDB's memorable movie quotes could help figure out what makes well-written dialogue so catchy. Not surprisingly, the most popular catchphrases have unusual combinations of words and often express some pearls…

  • Darell Issa Puts Old Leaked TPP IP Text Up For Discussion

    Mike Masnick
    15 May 2012 | 5:59 pm
    We've written a few times now about Rep. Darrell Issa, and the Madison platform his office has set up to allow for crowdsourcing opinion on legislation and other government documents. He originally used it for his OPEN Act, but then later posted the text of ACTA as well. His latest move is to post the leaked text of the US's negotiating position on TPP. This is the same text that leaked out last year. It would be nice if the USTR did something like this itself with the latest text, but that's not how USTR Ron Kirk works. To him "transparency" is only sharing the text with big industry special…

This is from their campaign on Kickstarter: Women Entrepreneurs are trailblazers.  We create businesses… and the jobs, salaries, economic growth, and futures that follow have a powerful but little-known impact.  As entrepreneurs ourselves, we are amazed at how rarely the media tells the incredible stories of women braving new frontiers, succeeding (and sometimes failing), and building legacies.  We want to bring some of these astounding journeys to the screen.  SHE MEANS BUSINESS is a documentary…

    How to Evaluate your Mobile User Acquisition Spend Last week an experienced digital marketer visited our offices to learn about Mixpanel. His background was in web analytics, but he had recently been hired by a growing mobile company to professionalize their digital marketing. When he arrived at his new company, he was shocked to learn they were paying thousands of dollars for users via a number of ad networks (iAd/MoPub/Admob/Tapjoy, etc) but didn’t have numbers showing how engaged the users acquired this way were. He had no way to know if a user acquired from one campaign brought in more…

Previously, you could only do a single segment, asking questions like “Show me my funnel broken down by country.” Now, you can ask much more advanced questions, filtering and segmenting on multiple properties – for example, “Show me my funnel where users are male, greater than the age 40, and break it down by where the user came from.” Some valuable…

  • iPhone SDK & UDIDs

    Suhail
    2 Apr 2012 | 3:44 pm
    We’ve been receiving a lot of feedback about UDIDs and how we treat them. This is in part due to how iOS 5 is deprecating the use of UDIDs and Apple rejecting apps who make use of it. The good news is that we removed the use of UDIDs from our library a few months after Apple issued notice on them so that our customers would not have any issues. In short, if you’ve integrated or updated our library within the past 6 months you’re totally safe. If you haven’t, then feel free to update it to our latest library on Github.

    Constant connection and the blurring of the lines between rest and work that it sometimes causes is one of the clearest downsides to the otherwise pretty awesome phenomenon of remote and flexible working. Tech tools that block distractions can help keep the spheres separate and give your brain a chance to recharge, as can shifting company culture to encourage rejuvenating off-time.

Interop is all about enterprise IT — networks, security, servers, stuff with gravitas — and Google is, well, Google.  Whatever it is, it’s not enterprise IT. Or is it? It’s not IBM or Cisco, but in its own way, Google is becoming a serious IT company. According to Jonathan Rochelle, group product manager for collaboration apps (with whom I spoke on Tuesday), you can see the evidence of Google’s maturity in recent…

    The social networking site Twitter has announced a new service in which a weekly email digest will be delivered to users’ inbox. The digest would be a week’s summary of top stories and most relevant tweets of users’ network. Twitter acquired Summify earlier this year. Summify was a Canadian startup that sent daily emails to users summarizing the top stories that were collected from their various social networks. It has to be noted that Twitter’s email digest announcement has come just a few weeks after the acquisition. Twitter said in a blog post that the email digest…

The report says that Apple will introduce its own mapping system with 3D features on the next generation mobile platform. Sources say that the new Apple Maps will be quite similar to the existing Google Maps apps that are found in iOS but will deliver a much “cleaner, faster, and more reliable experience.” The noteworthy change that will gain attention in iOS Maps is the new 3D mode feature. The 3D mode is said to display realistic graphics based on declassified missile target…

    "Google plans to give multiple mobile-device makers early access to new releases of Android and to sell those devices directly to consumers, said people familiar with the matter. [...] The expansion of direct sales marks a bid to exert more control over key features and apps that run on Android-powered phones and tablets, thus reducing the influence of wireless carriers over such devices, these people said. Wireless carriers typically handle marketing and sales of devices and thus can exert some control over the services that run on them." So, an expanded Nexus program that includes several…

But that's not all. Such a ruling could shake things up for many other companies across the programming world and beyond." The fact we even have to worry about this speaks volumes about the state of the industry.

    In a post entitled Please Don't Learn How to Code, software developer Jeff Atwood argues that the "everyone should learn programming" meme has gotten out of control, and that most people don't need to learn how to code. I mostly disagree with Atwood's premise and land on Benjamin Stein's side of the argument. Coding teaches you analytical thinking skills, logic workflows, and debugging like no other activity can, and you can apply those skills to lots of situations beyond actually building production apps. But Atwood hit one nail right on the head that I can't stress enough to people who want…

    Originally published on CNN.com. Startups are fighting a war for talent in Silicon Valley, and the companies that actively welcome men and women are going to win it. Smart companies don't recruit "brogrammers." The term "brogrammer" is a joke, of course. Male software engineers don't actually pop their collars, wear sunglasses and lift weights while writing code, and share hot tubs with bikini-clad women. But the joke is funny (to some people) because it reflects a certain truth about a community that excludes great talent in favor of frat house fun. The tech industry's testosterone level can…

    The Shit Girls Say meme blew up because all of us vaguely recognize the college-age woman who says those things. The meme is also highly annoying because it implies "girls" are airheads. I prefer a more constructive commentary on female speaking habits, which is why I loved a recent podcast interview with Tara Mohr, a women's leadership expert. Mohr describes little ways in which women unconsciously discount or minimize what they have to say, by overusing words like "just" and "actually," making declarative statements sound like questions, and by talking too quickly to avoid interruption.

    Amit

    When I first read about Pinterest, I didn’t pay enough attention as it looked like any other image bookmarking site with a beautiful interface. But as I spent more time on the website exploring pins and repinning some of them to my own boards (see here), the interest level has definitely gone up.I plan to do a detailed write-up later but here’s a quick tip for users who are already active on Pinterest – avoid renaming your Pinterest boards.That’s because when you change the name of a Pinteret board, the associated web address (public URL) of that board will also change.

    You want to create lengthy, complicated and unique passwords for every website that you use but that rarely happens in practice because these complex strings would be nearly impossible for anyone to remember. Most people thus rely on password management software that encrypt and store all your passwords in a database which is protected by a single password. You enter that master password and you instantly have access to all your stored user logins and passwords.There’s however another solution as well that will help you generate unique passwords for all your online accounts but without…

    It seems that everyone in IT is talking about security these days.  And it’s hardly surprising, given the recent security breach with VISA and mastercard, everyone in AND out of IT is wary of identity theft and its consequences. I came across a New York Times article from last summer, that focused on why user credentials should be encrypted, and why you should be losing sleep at night if they are unencrypted.   What’s interesting is that given the multiple breaches in data security we have seen in recent years, some folks still prefer to roll the dice and chance it.  And in…

During this process, Outlook creates a default profile for the particular account and save it by the name Outlook.

Of course, one can make multiple user profiles in Windows to come up with a solution but making a new profile just for Outlook does not sound feasible.

I heard people often saying, “When you’re tired, you must have rest. Don’t write until you start feeling better”. Everyone is ready to give a useless advice when others are struggling with something.

    Bloggers at any level of their experience, feel that what they are doing is the right thing and there are minimal mistakes they are committing, and if any, they could be ignored. Having such a mindset itself is one of the mistakes that every blogger does. You are a learner from the first day to the last in your Blogging career. Words and paragraphs don’t flow out of your mind into the keyboard with perfection all the time. And it isn’t a particular blog post am talking about, but the entire blog where each and every aspect including the design, the conversations, which all hold…

    Do it already! If you’re not posting online images and videos for your local business, you’re missing out on a great opportunity to capture the attention of your target market. Studies and statistics continue to prove that images capture the attention of online users significantly more than text, especially when they show up in search results. And more and more people are watching online videos for both personal and business use; don’t you want them to be viewing yours?

    Terry White
    15 May 2012 | 3:48 am
    I ordered this little gadget before heading out on my current tour and got a chance to try it out in the hotel lounge with one of my colleagues. CloudFTP for all intents and purposes is a little adhoc access point with a USB port on it. Technically you should be able to hook up just about any storage device to it and share the content on that device wirelessly with your devices (computers and iOS/Android devices). I figured I’d give it a real world test and time for a CloudFTP review. I took it out of the box, read the little manual that comes with it (so I could figure out how to…

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 is now available in the Mac App Store! This is good news for those of you who haven’t bought Lightroom yet. As with most things there are some pluses and minuses: This is a single platform license for Mac only. (The boxed version and the ESD offering on Adobe.com can be installed on Mac or Windows) Updates will take place through the Mac App Store, not via Adobe.com for this version of Lightroom. When we update Lightroom for new camera support(about 4 times per year), the Mac App Store version may be released at a different time than the update on Adobe.com…

    Creating Consumer Evangelists - By Alex L. Goldfayn

  • How Marketing Affects Stock Price

    The Evangelist Marketing Minute is a weekly thinking launch point that is always short enough to read in about 60 seconds. It covers technology marketing, branding, positioning, language, and public relations. Your email address is never shared, with anybody, for any reason. This Week’s Launching Point: Consider these stock prices: Apple in 2000: $23 | Today: $566 Amazon in 2000: $30 | Today: $228 Microsoft in 2000: $58 | Today: $31 Netflix in July 2011: $295 | Today: $77 What lesson do these numbers teach?

  • Why Microsoft Is Being Left in The Dust

    Alex Goldfayn
    11 May 2012 | 5:14 pm
    My new Mashable column was posted this morning. It begins this way: There are now a number of companies — Apple, Google,Amazon, and others — that have Microsoft in their rear-view mirrors, disappearing quickly on the horizon in a cloud of dust. That kick of dust in the company’s face is being emitted by Apple’s iPhone and iPad, Amazon’s Kindle, and Google’s search and cloud domination. Microsoft’s own wild lunges into various technology segments are also contributing considerably to it being left behind. Take the company’s recent partnership with Barnes & Noble,…

  • Start A Lot

    Alex Goldfayn
    7 May 2012 | 9:31 am
    Starting is often the biggest hurdle in getting things done. Once you start writing the email, you usually finish it. Once you begin to exercise, you’ll complete it. Similarly, once you start making calls you’re not eager to make, or start on the work task that you’ve been avoiding, you’ll likely finish it. At least, the chances are much higher than if you hadn’t started doing the work. When you start, you create forward inertia. When you start, you take down the hurdle. When you start a lot, you conquer procrastination. So, start early, and often. Start a lot.

  • Be The Disruptor

    Alex Goldfayn
    5 May 2012 | 5:07 pm
    AT&T’s CEO, Randall Stephenson, had this to say this week: “You lie awake at night worrying about what is that which will disrupt your business model. Apple iMessage is a classic example. If you’re using iMessage, you’re not using one of our messaging services, right? That’s disruptive to our messaging revenue stream.” This is the classic defensive posture of a leader who is not thinking big. He is waiting for the next big thing to go wrong. iMessage is causing problems, but the next thing could be worse. What could be next? He lays awake at night anticipating disaster.

So…When you read an article you find helpful, hear a good speaker, watch a valuable TED video, or come across some material that you can use for improvement, ask yourself: What can I do today to begin implementing this?  You don’t have to execute the entire plan, or apply the entire practice — but do begin it.

There’s a social feature that’s on by default, and shares the videos you watch to your Facebook feed, but apparently, even if you turn it off, the feature comes back when you restart it.

They hired Mads Christensen, a personality famous for poking fun at stereotypes, to moderate the Dell-sponsored partner summit and apparently he made some rather off-color remarks about women. While the remarks may have been suitable for a comedy club, many professionals did not find it appropriate for the event.

It does seem that the rise of iPad contributed to the fall of netbooks. Apple priced its tablet aggressively and made it hard for netbook makers to stay competitive. Fast forward to today and tablets are still going strong. Netbooks are still struggling.According to research firm Canalys, netbook shipments have been down by 34% from the first quarter of 2011.

    8 May 2012 | 6:54 am
    We don’t see too many new exciting netbook models these days. But companies such as Acer are still making them. The Acer Aspire One 725 comes with AMD Fusion and has a 11.6 inch screen. You get a 1366×768 display, AMD Radeon HD 6290 GPU, 4GB Max RAM, and a 320/500GB hard drive. This is under one inch thick and will come with a 4-cell battery. WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 are also offered. It is not clear how much you should expect to pay for such a netbook though.Are you impressed?[via Slash Gear]Readers who read this page, also viewed:5 Lightest Netbooks Around

  • $799 MacBook Air Coming in Q3 2012?

    Netbook Guy
    7 May 2012 | 6:54 am
    Apple has been quite successful with its MacBook Air laptops in the past couple of years. The company is planning to take its game to the next level by offering these tiny laptops for as low as $799 in the third quarter of 2012. The exact specifications for these budget MacBook Air devices are not known. The price should still give Apple the chance to put more pressure on ultrabook makers. MacBook Air is going to be very tough to beat if Apple keeps this up.[via SlashGear]Readers who read this page, also viewed:10 Tablet Keyboards You Should See4 Cool Netbooks Below $25010 Stylish Netbook…

  • The Apple-Intel-Samsung Ménage à Trois

    Jean-Louis Gassée
    13 May 2012 | 3:29 pm
    TweetFascinating doesn’t do justice to the spectacle, nor to the stakes. Taken in pairs, these giants exchange fluids – products and billion$ – while fiercely fighting with their other half. Each company is the World’s Number One in their domain: Intel in microprocessors, Samsung in electronics, Apple in failure to fail as ordained by the sages. The ARM-based chips in iDevices come from a foundry owned by Samsung, Apple’s mortal smartphone enemy. Intel supplies x86 chips to Apple and its PC competitors, Samsung included, and would like nothing more than to raid…

  • Francois Hollande’s Start-down Nation

    Frédéric Filloux
    6 May 2012 | 3:09 pm
    TweetA forgettable election campaign just wrapped up: François Hollande is now the President of the French Republic. Time spent on foreign issues during last week’s one-on-one television debate mirrored the rest of the campaign: less than fifteen minutes in a 2hrs 50 minutes bout, one that left most viewers yawning. This campaign was petty, gallic-centered, oozing with demagoguery and completely devoid of great projects or ambitions for the country. Mr. Hollande himself epitomizes this political flabbiness. He’s the default candidate. Last year, after Dominique…

    TweetThere was a time when clever individuals could sustain themselves by exploiting people’s ignorance and anxiety. Augurs studied the flight of birds to explain the will of the gods; haruspices practiced divination by inspecting the entrails of sacrificed animals. For fear of bursting into uncontrollable laughter, so the joke goes, the fortune tellers studiously avoided making eye contact with one another in chance street encounters. Not much has changed. Our modern-day haruspices, the Wall Street anal-ists, must struggle mightily to keep a straight face (although perhaps not so…

    TweetThe digital advertising equation is outlined in the Nielsen graph below. The Global Trust in Advertising survey released this month (summary on Nielsen site and PDF here) underlines one key finding: For the vast majority of digital users, trust lies first and foremost in recommendations and opinions from their peers. As for the bulk of formats found on web sites or on mobile (such as various flavors of display advertising), they fall to the bottom of the chart. Nielsen’s study, based on 26,000 respondents in 56 countries, was conducted in Q3 2011. Here are the expanded results (click…

  • 4 Of The Best Printers For Connecting To A Wireless Network

    Erez Zukerman
    15 May 2012 | 8:31 pm
    Up until a few years ago, a small home printer had to be attached directly to the computer it was servicing. Or, if you had several computers, it had to be attached to at least one of them, and that computer had to be sharing it for others to be able to use it. Thanks to the modern wonder of Wi-Fi, this is no longer the case. Many inexpensive printers don’t have to be connected to anything these days, except for power of course.

    A startup blends activity tracking with online incentives in hopes of getting kids into shape. Malica Astin, 11, never paid much attention to how much physical activity she got. But one day she played basketball while wearing a small activity tracker called a Zamzee on her waist. Later, she plugged it into a computer's USB port and uploaded the data captured by the device's accelerometers. Unlike a FitBit, a popular pedometer geared to adults, Malica's Zamzee didn't tell her how many steps she took or calories she burned. Instead, it gave her points for the movements she made.

    4 May 2012 | 4:27 am
    Algorithms translate a process into instructions that a computing machine can understand, based on a mathematical, statistical and logical framework. They are usually developed to minimise and rigorise the computing steps involved in a process or formula and therefore maximise its solution efficiency in terms of computing resources, while at the same time improving its accuracy and verifiability. Algorithms are taking over the world – at least the computational part of it- and that could be a good thing. Algorithms come in all shapes and sizes and have been around a long time- well before…

    The dorm room isn’t just a place of innovation for the all too familiar tale of creating mobile apps and social networks.

    For a few years, the now-famous 2.007 robot contest has included an optional electric vechicle section for students who favored crafting an experimental ride to a robot. But this year, EVs got an official final event all their own, with two parts: a 50-meter drag race and a hill climb up a four-story parking garage. Chibikart, designed by grad student Charles Guan '11. Charles Guan ’11, a grad student in mechanical engineering, taught this special 2.007 EV section, which students affectionately named 2.00gokart.

    I’m not usually into super-compact cars but there’s no denying the draw to this unique beauty. The EXO concept is the result of a challenge to designers Mark Beccaloni & Mauro Fragiotta to create a minimal and compact yet realistically usable urban vehicle. Designed from the outside in, the external geodesic shape is not only aesthetically captivating, but provides serious strength to the structure.

    Nokia’s second Windows phone, the Nokia Lumia 710, is a good budget option but doesn’t quite hit the sweet spot Despite what you might read in the media, it’s too early to say if Nokia’s relationship with Microsoft is already a disaster. While the Lumia 800 hasn’t exactly set the world on fire in terms of sales, the fact remains, it’s a very good phone and has set a precedent of what we can expect from the Nokia-Microsoft team-up – from their high-end phones, at least. However, the Finnish company have proclaimed that mid-range and budget handsets…

It is, after all, the third incarnation of the best-selling tablet – so why wouldn’t we? Naming differences aside, the new iPad has, rather predictably, been a roaring success in its first few days on the shelves: three million have been sold since its release on March 16th. One of them has ended up here – so we thought we would give you the lowdown…   Design…

Just a plain old, simple, ‘new’ iPad. However, names aside, there is plenty to get excited about with the new Apple tablet – and plenty of thinking to do for the other makers of tablet PCs, who will be a little concerned at the latest arrival from Cupertino.

This is not just for the core of Joomla itself but also as a toolkit that extension developers and designers can utilise.

    30 Apr 2012 | 4:51 am
    For me open source is not just about the software it's about community and community is not just about people working together it's about sharing. And it's not just about sharing code, it should also be about sharing experiences, successes and failures. The more open and transparent we are when we share the better for everyone. For me life isn't a competition it's an event and what better way to have a successful event than to learn and share from and with each other.

    26 Apr 2012 | 4:01 am
    What's the first thing you do when you decide to build a new website? Do you download and install Joomla!, do you go to a template supplier and select your template or do you do something else instead? Whatever your process, it’s time to step back for a minute, grab a Pencil and Paper and start to Plan. You wouldn't dream of building a house without first drawing some plans and a website is no different.To build a successful website — and why would you want a failing website — then you need to follow these three Ps.

The first version was built with regular Joomla content and as soon as K2 was released the site was redesigned, rebuilt and given some K2 magic by the guys at JoomlaWorks. With the release of Joomla 2.5 it became clear to me that not only was it time to migrate my site to 2.5 it was also time for another experiment. I have taken the opportunity with this rebuild to…

Previously they used their own in house employee for web work. The employee was a good person but probably lacked some real web skills and was at times out of his depth in regards to building sites with Joomla, which he used exclusively for all sites. I was amazed to see that all the previous work done by this cool and funky design house were all completed using commercial templates and hence starts my first little "rant".

The iPad was essentially the first tablet computer of its kind, and as well as causing massive stir, also resulted in other manufacturers hurriedly creating their own answer to the Apple tablet.

With just one click you can select and install new software. There is a good mix of free and paid apps and it’s dead easy to see what users think of them with the classic star rating system. We do like Apple here at Tech Towers, but they don’t get everything right.  For instance, iTunes is slow, bloated and unintuitive but the Mac App Store is fabulous.

Art, literature, and more can all provide the much needed spark which gets a designer on the path to producing a website which is uniquely effective, and also something their client will love.

    In this article, we’ll be looking at how the newly announced Samsung Galaxy S3 stacks up against some of the top smartphones on the market – the highly regarded HTC One X, the worldwide marvel the iPhone 4S and the best Windows Phone yet, the Nokia Lumia 900. Let’s get straight into this by-the-numbers comparison, then we’ll shed some light on what can’t be compared so easily in a simple table!

  • Review – Warriors Orochi 3

    Edgar Khoo
    29 Apr 2012 | 4:27 am
    If there’s one thing you can say about Tecmo Koei and their Musou series, it’s that they know how to keep the ball rolling. Despite every iteration being on the receiving end of endless comments about its mindless button-bashing nature, it continues to retain an exceedingly loyal fanbase. And so the question arises: does the latest in a long line of Musou games deserve your attention and money? Warriors Orochi 3 takes place in an alternate universe created by the demonic Orochi, the antagonist of the previous games who merged the two worlds of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors and…

    27 Apr 2012 | 5:26 pm
    It wasn’t long ago that the phrase “comic book film adaptation” would result in utter disappointment. Those barren days have passed, and we have yet another fine addition to the Marvel film universe. This film is jam packed with Whedon’s trademark witty banter, vital for the confrontation between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their foes. You’ll be surprised at just how enjoyable these verbal set pieces are in comparison to the action packed sequences. Whedon manages to capture the essence of the comic books brilliantly and successfully brings his vision of The…

  • The “Facebook phone”

    William Judd
    27 Apr 2012 | 4:14 pm
    According to the DigiTimes, HTC and Facebook are working on a ‘Facebook phone’, saying that the HTC hardware would be paired with “a platform exclusive to Facebook”. This would be the third handset the two companies have collaborated on after the ChaCha and Salsa handsets, which featured a dedicated Facebook button and OS-level Facebook integration. These earlier devices were well liked by social media enthusiasts, but were a bit handicapped with too little RAM and processing power. Could we see a Facebook phone that ships with Android 4.0 and more powerful hardware – maybe even…

  • Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition: coming this summer to PC, iPad, Mac

    William Judd
    5 Apr 2012 | 5:09 am
    Baldur’s Gate was one of my favourite games when I was a PC gaming kid, and definitely shouldered its way into my top 3 RPGs of that era (next to Fallout (1)) and Planescape Torment (2)). The Bioware-penned RPG told an epic and personally riveting story, taking place in a classic D&D universe that was lushly envisaged (by the standards of the time) with top notch graphics, well-voiced characters and plenty of text to read. Now some years later, Baldur’s Gate will be making its way onto the scene once more, courtesy of Overhaul Games. The classic RPG will be released on three platforms…

    Mary Ludloff
    11 May 2012 | 2:30 pm
    By Mary Ludloff As you all know, privacy is one of my favorite topics. And when you’re talking or blogging about privacy, it almost always comes back to personally identifiable information (pii) which just happens to be the focus of the Privacy Identify Innovation Conference that will be held in downtown Seattle, May 14-16 (otherwise known as pii2012). Natalie Fonseca (@TechPolicy) is the co-founder and executive producer of the conference (now on its “third edition”), and she has assembled a group of speakers and sessions that make privacy-geeks (like myself) giddy with anticipation:…

The topic: big data and the capital markets. That 33-page report is now available and it’s a must read for anyone interested in big data and business. Why a must read for all?

IMHO the problems that David is describing are more a reflection of problems with batch oriented technologies like Hadoop (more on my take on Hadoop here) in the cloud than a general problem for cloud based big data solutions. Computing always has, and probably always will have, a bias towards creating batch focused technologies at the…

The survey-based research, entitled “Integration Technologies for Cloud Services”, will be followed later this year by an EMA Radar Report on a similar topic. There can no longer be any doubt that Cloud computing has come into its own as the biggest game changer since the Internet. Nevertheless, as with any radical change in application architecture, it also introduces a host of new management challenges. One significant challenge relates to…

    On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747 passenger aircraft collided on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, in the deadliest accident in aviation history. 583 people perished. Like the Titanic, a multitude of causes converged into the disaster. A terrorist bomb at a another airport, an overstretched small regional facility, a flight crew pressed for time, fog … but one theme recurs in discussions of the accident: language. Think about the word “takeoff.” Many of us are air travelers, and we might think we know what that word means. But the fact is, unless you are a…

    I spent three great days last week with Kaseya and its user community. The experience was eye-opening in many ways. A bit of background: EMA considers Kaseya a systems management provider, and as such they are usually covered by my colleagues Steve Brasen and Torsten Volk. However, this year for a couple of different reasons we decided I would go to their annual event, and I’m glad I did. Kaseya has a rich ecosystem of customers and vendors, and in particular serves the Managed Services Provider (MSP) market. MSP is a broad term, and I can’t say I understand the MSP market completely, but…

    Okay so networking fabric wars, OpenFlow, and SDN startups are all the buzz in the networking space right now and while it is fun to speculate and debate the topic, it is time to get back to basics. Sure we need to decouple the network plumbing from its current rigid, fixed, physical design, but let’s be honest this is a non-trivial task that will not happen overnight. It is going to take 5 to 10 years to fully evolve and even then traditional network equipment is still going to be out there.

    A lot my coverage over the past couple of years has been focused on the increasingly interesting mix of applications that get delivered over enterprise networks and the impact that has on how networks are being planned and operated. This cocktail has become increasingly volatile, as latency-insensitive traffic loads are mixed with a growing number of latency-sensitive traffic loads. Chief among the latter has been VoIP, but the growth in live, interactive videoconferencing cannot be discounted. In my research from 2011, Videoconferencing Impact on Network Management, I found that network…

    It is estimated that by 2017, the global enterprise mobility market will be nearly $174 billion, according to a report by Global Industry Analysts.

According to Gartner’s January 2011 worldwide IT spending forecast, global IT spending in enterprise software and apps has grown to $253 billion in Q4 2010 from $228 billion in Q4 2008, with a low point of $224 billion in Q4 2009.

The focus of the New York startup has since changed to staying on a friendly basis. MatchPuppy now allows dog owners seek out other dogs for play dates, because dogs get lonely too.

  • Alpha Test Update: 200 Feedbacks and Counting!

    Chris
    22 Apr 2012 | 3:13 am
    It’s been a long while since our last Alpha Test update. In the meantime, invites started to pour out generously, we got more testers, more feedback – and more things to do. Our task board now looks like a hedgehog after a stroll through the “post-it” factory. That’s why, even if you haven’t heard from us in a while, don’t worry! We’re still here, hard at work, pumped up and excited. We just didn’t have time to bring things up to speed, hence – the article you’re reading now. First of all, thanks for all the great work you’ve done testing the alpha version. So far…

  • Do we really live in the age of Social Networks?

    Chris
    26 Mar 2012 | 4:41 pm
    Today, I’m going to write something you’d least expect from anyone working on a system that has “social” somewhere in its description. I’m going to say that social networks are really not as big or influential as we make them to be. They’ve been media darlings for half a decade now, and some people even go as far as saying that we live in the age of Social Media. Is it true? Let’s start our little crash course in perspective with some hard numbers. Because that’s what big apps like to throw around – numbers, numbers, and more numbers (all of them self-reported, of course).

  • StormDriver at the London Web Summit

    Chris
    22 Mar 2012 | 6:52 am
    This Monday a part of our team went over to the UK to attend the London Web Summit. Our mission? Pitch the hell out of StormDriver in front of investors, industry insiders and other startups. And pitch we did, until we could barely speak. It’s been the first time we have shown our system to the public, with a full hands-on demo. The result was very encouraging. It was great to see how people react to StormDriver, and how many of them thought it’s something new and interesting. Before the end of the show, our pockets were already filled with business cards. But the prospect of finding…

    Nothing brings tears of joy to a developer’s eyes like his baby being compared to some of the most interesting projects out there. Recently, the Italian version of Wired wrote an article comparing the features of Italian Volunia with some other star-ups, that pursue the direction of innovative social interactions. As a result, we ended up on the same list as Trap!t, WhoIsLive, Chime.in and some major old social platforms, like Twitter and Facebook. It’s always nice to be noticed. Volunia’s launch made me think it’s strange how many new systems try to discover some kind of new,…

It was a serious change, that impacts most of the system’s components, but that’s not everything we’ve prepared for our next Alpha release.

  • Blockscape, Minecraft, and the Uncanny Valley

    Whether you have been playing Minecraft for over a year or are just now getting into it on the Xbox 360 I’m interested in hearing what you think of this. A man by the name of Jens Blomquist is working on a game called Blockscape that appears to be centered around the idea of being a much more detailed version of Minecraft. I’m generally bothered by games that seem to blatantly rip off something that’s popular without doing something new, but Blockscape is far too early in development to tell how things will turn out.  Only time will tell whether it’ll be a Terraria or…

    Body language has long been an area of study and wonder. The ability to read the natural signals emitted by humans and therefore interpret their underlying thoughts and emotions has long been seen as a powerful tool and has been used in many areas. However, there has been an increase in effort to develop methods to determine emotion, other than those relying on human analysis and this is being led by the advancement in computer technology. Nao, a humanoid machine that expresses and detects emotions was launched in 2010. It hunches its shoulders when it feels sad and raises its arms for a hug…

    The Walking Dead Episode 1, subtitled “A New Day,” is the latest adventure game outing from Telltale Games, although the degree to which it is a game may be up for debate.  You play as a felon named Lee who survives a car crash during the zombie outbreak.  Lee meets up with a little girl, a group of survivors, and a few characters from the comic as he tries to find a safe haven. There isn’t a lot of freedom in Episode 1.  As one might expect in a zombie apocalypse, the majority of the game is spent barricaded in small areas with only a few rooms.  This time consists…

  • Startups: 5 Things You Should Never Outsource, And A Few You Should

    Guest Author
    10 May 2012 | 9:18 am
    Whether well funded or on a shoestring budget, financial accountability is the name of the game for all startups, regardless of industry.  In streamlining operations, there are some functions that should remain in house, and a few that are best left to experts outside the company – in other words, roles and responsibilities that make good business sense to outsource.  Some may be logical, or even obvious, and some may be things seldom considered when outsourcing comes to mind. Let’s start with intrinsic company roles that should always remain internal: Executive leadership.  Why…

    Have you tried to visit a Web site and waited . . . and waited until after over 30 seconds before something appeared on your screen? Industry experts say that people won’t wait more than 8 or 10 seconds for a site to load. I hope by now, if you own an online business, you have thoroughly tested the speed of your site and how long it takes for it to load. Customer experience begins the moment a user hits enter and waits to see what you have to offer. Remember there are hundreds if not thousands of other options for most internet users. “Slow” should be the last word on a…

    If you’ve ever played with a Tarot deck, you may have noticed people cringing at the sight of the Tower card. Admittedly, a tower aflame from a lightning bolt with people plummeting to their death isn’t very welcoming, but looks can be deceiving. While these pictures may initially conjure thoughts of ruin and destruction, they also carry a deeper meaning: CHANGE. What does the Tower card have to do with tech and entertainment, you ask? Everything. Change does not come easily. In fact, it often creeps up on us unexpectedly, turning our lives upside down and shaking us from our…

Of course the two big take-aways include the latest iteration of Panda and the vague announcement that one of the link signals that Google has been using for several years has been dropped. There is a lot of speculation on that one but it is doubtful that the link signal that was dropped was a very strong one to begin with. Also, as with any update, new changes in spam protection.

Innovation comes from every corner of everyday life ─ the last great novel you read; the cereal package that was easy to open; the microwave dinner that didn’t suck; the next use of air and balls from Dyson; the machine that made your coffee; the noteworthy car rental experience in Indianapolis.

In thinking about these two very different businesses, one would think that the music industry, in which creativity is the product, would be far more innovative than banking, often perceived as traditional and conservative. But as it turns out, they have developed on parallel paths, and in most cases, banks turned out to be on the leading edge more often.

    Article published on the Digitpedia web site. Please don't copy.Christmas is over, New Year is done and dusted and the sales have begun. 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. It’s not just clothes and electronics that have been reduced. The…

I’m sure the little ‘i’ gives away how you control it – via an App. You buy the Phone Controlled Helicopter from the ParamountZone website.

    BSA today released the ninth edition of our Global Software Piracy Study — and in it, we have plowed new ground. This year’s study marks the first time anyone has directly asked a large sample of computer users around the world, “How often do you acquire pirated software?” The answers people have given to that and other questions reveal sharp divides between the habits and outlooks of users in emerging and developed markets. Those differences help explain why the global piracy rate hovered at 42 percent last year while a steadily expanding marketplace in the developing world drove the…

    The English author H.G. Wells is thought to have said, “Human history is, in essence, the history of ideas.” How right he was considering the visionary innovators who have transformed the world with great ideas. Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Johann Gutenberg, plus more modern day icons such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates — to name but a few. It is the achievements of these and many others that we celebrate on World Intellectual Property Day. Where do we begin to look for what’s next?

    “If your neighbor’s house gets broken into, you’d want to know about it.” That was how John Landwehr, Vice President for Digital Government Solutions at Adobe Systems, put a fine point on the need for efficient and effective sharing of cyber threat information. He spoke at a packed briefing BSA hosted today on Capitol Hill to help educate House staff on issues involved in cyber legislation now pending in Congress. Landwehr used the analogy of a home invasion to illustrate what information ought to be shared, with whom, and for what purpose: You would want to know how the break-in…

  • IP: The Not-So-Secret Sauce in the US Economy

    Robert Holleyman
    11 Apr 2012 | 2:06 pm
    If there was any doubt, a new report from the Commerce Department makes it abundantly clear that intellectual property is the secret sauce in the US economy, officially contributing roughly one-third of the country’s GDP and more than a quarter of its employment. If you are keeping score, that comes to $5 trillion and 40 million jobs, which pay a significant wage premium over jobs in non-IP-intensive sectors, according to the report. Software publishers figure prominently in that picture by, among other things, directly employing approximately 260,000 US workers in 2010 while exporting more…

    What to do about China? It is the world’s second-largest economy and our second-largest trading partner, after neighboring Canada. Yet it remains the wild, wild East of the global economy, a place arguably more dangerous than anywhere else in the world for innovative U.S. companies to do business. If likely president-to-be Xi Jinping is interested in improving bilateral relations, as he suggested during a recent visit to America, then addressing that problem would be an excellent place to start. As things stand today, a troubling gap in the rule of law between China and the West costs…

Along with the date, there has been many rumours on what the refresh will bring, like Ivy Bridge processors, a 2048 x 1536 Retina Display, and a thinner profile along with SSD for quick bootups. It’s been a while since the MacBook Pro has received a significant update on form factor and functions, and since most of Apple’s other products have undergone some changes, it should be the MacBook Pro’s turn this year.

    If you are a developer then you are very familiar with variables and they are probably one of your best friends.

The latest news is that the first working draft of CSS Variables just got released. Why CSS variables? Variables in CSS is something that people have been asking and wanting for a quite long time.

    General Motors' decision to cancel the entirety of its $10 million Facebook ad budget is, arguably, the second major shoe to drop on the social network's ad budget. Back in January, Procter & Gamble CEO Bob McDonald told Wall Street he was scaling back his company's $10 billion annual ad budget (mostly in traditional media) to take advantage of free impressions offered by Facebook in the form of Likes and status updates. That's two out of America's top three biggest advertisers. The two decisions were made for different reasons (GM wasn't convinced Facebook ads are effective; P&G is…

    So you want to develop an iOS application for your iPhone or iPad. Thinking of being the next big app to hit the appstore. Only one problem, developing applications for the iPhone and iPad require a Mac or more specifically a machine running Mac OS X. It could be you actually own a Mac, you could go and buy yourself an RM1800 Mac Mini, or you could try a hackintosh, although just creating a hackintosh would be a small project in itself.

  • How GPS Units Help Police Catch Criminals

    Admin
    8 May 2012 | 5:47 am
    GPS software as of now is playing a pivotal role in social security and safety. Police and law enforcers rely on GPS units and navigation as well as locator systems to not only catch criminals, but also to be able to communicate effectively with each other. The Global Positioning System consists of 24 satellites that orbit Earth and send signals to ground stations that can monitor and, for example, pinpoint an object’s exact location within less than a meter at any given time. GPS units have become an increasingly prevalent law enforcement tool with important functions in solving crimes…

  • Top 10 Beach Destinations in India

    26 Apr 2012 | 11:29 pm
    In addition to ideal temperatures and crystal-clear water, beaches in India offer accommodations ranging from bamboo huts to luxurious 7-star hotels with personal butler service. Here is a list I’ve compiled of 10 of my favorite beaches in India. Now this is just my opinion, so please share your thoughts. What beaches are your favorite and why? Goa: The northern area is known for parties and festivals, while the southern exudes a more quiet, relaxed aura. Goa is a Mecca for para-sailing, windsurfing, water scooter and banana boat riding, and is always a good time when the sun goes down.

  • ‘Tech’ Care of Your Kids: School Uniforms with GPS Chips

    Admin
    6 Apr 2012 | 4:11 am
    The primary aims of technology are to make our lives simpler and safer. Government officials in Brazil are making sure that technology fulfills its goals by creating GPS trackers that are being embedded in students’ uniforms. The main reason for these trackers is to enable parents to know exactly where their children are when they are supposed to be in school, just in case they skip school or something much more worse were to happen, like a kidnapping. 20,000 students in Vitoria de Conquista have been given these uniforms with GPS embedded chips. These chips are embedded in the sleeves of…

  • GPS for Future Astronauts

    Admin
    2 Apr 2012 | 8:15 am
    Space, the final frontier as they say. Space, terribly huge and ever expanding. No maps, no GPS, no navigation systems. As more and more ventures into space are launched, the need for a navigation system as accurate as the GPS system on Earth has become very great. And some clever scientists may have found a solution to allow a spacecraft to pinpoint its location with stunning accuracy: by using dead stars! Dead stars are of quite a few varieties, like the white dwarf and pulsars. The stars in question here are called pulsars as they pulsate with steady x-ray pulses; which are so steady and…

As mentioned by EVGA’s product manager, the card has comes with 14 Phase PWN with 4GB GDDR5, 8+8 PCIe Power port +EVbot and probes to a voltmeter/ multimeter ( maybe signs that shows the possibility of voltage controller in the non reference version????) – and its cooled by a single fan.

  • Pictures of Colourful’s Nvidia GTX670 Leaked

    The Sorcerer
    7 May 2012 | 9:13 pm
    Well, eventually it had to happen. Pictures of GTX670 are leaked by a website and now they’re all over the internet. First sentence in mind? Look at the size of that thing!!! The card is made by a Chinese Company called “Colourful” and by the looks of the heatsink it looks no different from how you would expect from a GTX680, but once you turn it around, the size of the PCB is what will stun everyone. It goes without saying that Colourful has a separate section away from the PCB for the fan so it will be interesting to see if others will make the card with the same design. The article…

    If you thought blocking file-sharing is stupid enough, wait till you get this: Reliance Communications and Tikona ISP has Blocked access to The Pirate Bay and Vimeo. First thought in anyone’s mind: Why Vimeo? What was Reliance even thinking when they decided to block Vimeo-  a movie sharing website no different than Youtube?? According to the news source, Medianama- the first to report on this, one can speculate that Reliance communications (and now Tikona ISP) blocked Vimeo for the reason being that it hosts user generated videos and eventually a question arises that other video sharing…

  • Coolermaster Elite 311 Plus RC-311P-TWN2 PC Chassis Review

    The Sorcerer

    Coolermaster sends their newer Elite 311 Plus Mid-tower case that comes with a single USB 3.0 port on the front panel. Just how much value can you put in such cases? Elite series is one of the first to give a step-up over cases from Indian brands that were worth about Rs. 1,000/-. As usual, end user’s needs increases and they wouldn’t mind paying bit more provided the cost was justified. That’s how cases like Elite series started to sell. And then came NZXT Gamma which pretty much changed a lot about cases worth well below Rs. 4,000/-. Sure, the only setback was that the front panel…

    Jane Andrew
    13 May 2012 | 2:29 am
    Losing cell phones is undoubtedly a sensation that can send our nervous system into doldrums. And one can’t always rely on a cell phone tracker to be able to outthink the potential mobile thieves. Cell phones have become so much more than just mere communication devices; they are our social hub, data storage safe, memory box, entertainment center and whatnot! Losing all of this in one blow could possibly rupture a few nerves and give one a quasi cardiac arrest. Now, to save the cell phone users from that sinking feeling, Senator Charles Schumer and New York City Police Commissioner are…

    Max Payne 3 is just around the corner. The third entry in Rockstar’s beloved franchise is looking like another hit in their collection. Rockstar has a history of making good stories, and this one looks no different. And we’ve missed bullet time, so it’s about time we get back to playing with time and wasting bullets along the way. But somehow, with the visuals and trailers, Max Payne 3 doesn’t feel like what we’ve come to expect from Max Payne; rather it feels like a completely different game, which leaves me a little disappointed.  The original Max Payne had…

Android has succeeded the existence of several entities in the mobile phone ecosystem.

And as such, there is the possibility of that odd game totally passing under your radar. The game might not be popular on the hype meter, or it just might not look good in the previews. One such game which totally surprised me is The Walking Dead episode One. First of all this is not your typical Zombie slaying game. So if you’re expecting something akin to Left 4 Dead, don’t…

One word that connects the stories – braggadocio. Merriam-Webster defines it as braggart, empty boasting, arrogant pretension or cockiness. After the airport brawl between Raymart Santiago and Ramon Tulfo, you all know the story so I’ll skip those details, the…

    Providing detailed, current information that speaks to your prospects’ pain points is crucial when building the long-term relationships that lead to technology purchases. In fact, tech vendors are particularly well positioned to advise prospects on how to solve their technology problems because they can draw from their experience with dozens or hundreds of implementations (or more) across their customer base. Yet many vendors squander this opportunity by failing to provide the kind of content potential buyers need, according to new UBM TechWeb research. Based on survey of 240 business…

    People hate to wait. No industry feels this more than the food service industry in which restaurant profit margins depend on the patience of hungry patrons. Unfortunately, it’s hard to control or predict what people will do when they hear, “It’ll be an hour wait for a table.” Parties must chose: flee to a less popular joint or bite the bullet and try to distract themselves from their rumbling stomachs. The method of distraction is critical to keeping frustrations low. So what do people do to pass the time, and how do restaurants aid the process? I was curious, so I went out to a…

De hecho, será tan delgada que no dejará espacio para una unidad óptica, al igual que su primo de peso ligero, el MacBook Air. Otros cambios de diseño incluyen un botón de encendido en el propio teclado (que sustituye el botón de expulsión) y, posiblemente, la falta de un puerto Ethernet (reemplazado por un puerto Thunderbolt extra).

    Jonathan Fincher
    16 May 2012 | 4:00 am
    One of the biggest problems in fighting the spread of AIDS has always been convincing people to have themselves tested regularly. Unfortunately, getting someone to take a trip to a clinic isn't always easy, particularly in areas where there aren't many options for discrete testing. In a development that could leap right over this privacy hurdle, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has just unanimously approved an over-the-counter HIV test that enables people to test themselves in their own home and receive results in just 20 minutes. ..

  • Smartsense navigation system works where GPS won't - indoors

    Nick Moore
    16 May 2012 | 12:40 am
    It's not that long ago that GPS capabilities in a mobile phone were considered a standout feature. Today, GPS navigation is standard for smartphones, and as a result, many of us have come to rely on them when it comes to getting from A to B. However, GPS technology isn't without its faults, and if A to B is located under a roof, out of sight of the orbiting GPS satellites, then you can end up falling back on the not always reliable sense of direction. To fix the problem, Fraunhofer Research is developing Smartsense, a smartphone sensor capable of providing accurate navigation indoors, without…

In such situation, the large screen is a benefit, and that’s the reason why the company planned to create such a beast.

    There was a time when music was on just about every website. The reason for that was that it was a new and exciting idea. Internet speeds had only just grown to a speed where having a whole track of music stream from a site was possible, and so every web designer and his wife thought it would be a good idea to make use of that. And in theory music in a website design is a cool concept – as music can perfectly create a particular mood or style by playing over the top.

  • Learning experience: let's take consciousness in from the cold

    Colin Hales, Researcher in brain electrodynamics at the Centre for Neural Engineering at University of Melbourne
    15 May 2012 | 10:27 pm
    Until 20 years ago, scientists interested in empirical work on consciousness – our private subjective experiences – hid it by minimising or eliminating the “c-word”, the use of which was a career-limiting (or at least fund-limiting) move. Consciousness defied scientific characterisation until, at the very beginning of the decade of the brain (1990-2000), the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick and others began a dialogue that made an empirical science of consciousness viable. For 20 years, the mainstream science of consciousness could be generically called the ABC-correlates of…

Through open-source, collaborative programs such as wikis, the creation and distribution of information has effectively been crowdsourced. But can this democratisation of the production of information and the expansion of networked global communities lead to action in solving real-world problems?

  • Sticky and picky: why male orb-web spiders like heavy virgins

    Anne Wignall, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University
    14 May 2012 | 3:42 pm
    When it comes to selecting a mate, females are traditionally thought of as the choosy sex; males, meanwhile, aren’t thought to be particularly picky. This makes sense for many species – the sex that invests the most in offspring is expected to take the most care in selecting their mate. A sweeping look at the animal kingdom shows that females generally produce few, large and expensive gametes (eggs) and often engage in extended parental care that can be expensive, both in time and energy. On the other hand, males tend to produce many, cheap gametes (sperm) and have minimal contribution to…

  • IT Service in Sydney Advices the Ideal Tools and Softwares to Revive Old Data from Damaged Hard Drive

    maria
    11 May 2012 | 6:29 am
    Various techniques have been devised to revive old data from damaged hard drive and they all prevent loss of data and any other financial turmoil implicated by inaccessible records in a database.

    Recently, Techlaze was accidentally marked by Google as spam. After reporting the error through Google’s Webmasters tools, Google has finally restored the site to its original state. The problem was that most of the articles on the site were having trackbacks and comments which led to malicious sites, thus resulting in Google flagging us.

    Katyayan Gupta

    Huawei hosted about 160 industry and financial analysts at its ninth annual analyst summit in Shenzhen, China in April 2012. The main takeaways from the event are: Huawei continues its drive for more financial openness and transparency. In an effort to shed the image of a secretive nonlisted company, Huawei provided detailed information about its financial and operational performance. In 2011, Huawei grew revenues by 12% to reach US$32.4 billion and EBIT by 9% to $3 billion. The main regional growth was registered in Latin America, up 40%.

  • Looking Through The Cloud

    SaaS vendors must collect customer insights for innovation and compliance. As of the end of last year, about 30% of companies from our Forrsights Software Survey, Q4 2011, were using some software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution; that number will grow to 45% by the end of 2012 and 60% by the end of 2013. The public cloud market for SaaS is the biggest and fastest-growing of all of the cloud markets ($33 billion in 2012, growing to $78 billion by the end of 2015). However, most of this growth is based on the cannibalization of the on-premises software market; software companies need to build…

    Like many people, I find myself having to type the same bits of text many times throughout my working week. Various applications already have ways of reducing the labor involved in this. For example, email clients have auto-signatures and word processors have automatic text facilities. The Mac OS X operating system itself is strong when it comes to automation. AppleScript and the sophisticated Automator utility help many power-users accomplish frequently repeated tasks more efficiently. However, none of the inbuilt features of OS X or my installed applications did exactly what I needed – so…

  • The Rise and Fall of Draw Something

    Craig Lloyd
    8 May 2012 | 10:05 am
    Not too long ago, Draw Something was a social-gaming phenomenon raking in 50 million downloads within the first 50 days of the game’s release. It even beat Words With Friends to become the most popular Facebook game at the time. Zynga (creators of FarmVille) even bought out developer OMGPOP (creaters of Draw Something) for $180 million because of the game’s massive popularity. However, did Zynga act too quickly? It turns out the rapid rise to fame has hit a plateau and is now heading in a downward direction. The past few weeks have seen a steady decline in the number of users…

    The term high fidelity (or hi-fi) can be traced back to the dawn of music recording, and in general defined a system that could reproduce music with the sharpest and most fulfilling audio quality.  And as the generations moved from turntables to boomboxes to walkmans to portable music players, so too did the continual desire to purchase high-end, hi-fi systems to blast the tunes.  Although today one can still get bulky hi-fi stereo systems with 400W of power, a CD tray, an iPod dock, and a remote control, it just doesn’t seem to be as trendy and up-to-date as it did in 1996. …

    Guest post by Craig Mathias BYOD was perhaps the hottest topic in the Wireless and Mobility track at Interop 2012 in Las Vegas last week, being mentioned, by my count, in at least half of the sessions in the track, and a number of other tracks as well. Oddly, one of the best discussions (equally oddly, at the same time as an equally good panel on the same topic) was in the last session of the week, one on mobile operating systems. The objective for this session was to ask the really big questions: Will we get down to two (or even one; yes, it's worth asking if iOS might run away with the…

Why were the carriers denying that they used it? The problem is, the image is inaccurate. Yes, Carrier IQ was (and is still) probably collecting information from your phone, assuming that their monitoring software was installed as part of the carrier's package that's preloaded before the device is shipped.

There are many ways to measure success and, although the setback might could be merely temporary, it is hard to put a price on how costly this is for HTC.

    When we were young we were told that writing is an art and only a few people can write in good hand writing but thanks to the latest computer technology. Now anyone can write in a magnanimous way, be it anyone – an MIT professor or a third grade student. All of them can write in a way which is understandable to all. In case uniqueness is the problem, then you would love to know that you can choose your writing style from well over million styles; each one is different from each other. By default, each computer is installed with some hundred fonts but you can obviously download more of them…

Now that it’s gone, though, many people need another solution to check pure Google search rankings.  Google adjusts the rankings significantly based on your location, search history, and other data that they’ve…

    Tony Abbott, leader of the Opposition, issued a statement saying that the National Broadband project can make consumers pay more than what they’re currently paying for their existing ADSL plans. In his speech to the Parliament, Abbott said that the services that the NBN will offer could end up being more than thrice the cost of the current services. In the said speech, Abbott has questioned the logic in spending $50 billion for a project that can lead to customers paying three times more than what they’re paying today, mainly for speeds that customers may not need. He also questioned the…

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, a viral infographic is worth 10,000 page views.

But new tools and software are effectively imploding those barriers and making data visualization more accessible to the masses. One of the most important new guides to DIY data design is The Data Journalism Handbook. The first of its kind, the handbook is an…

    Chris Mahns
    8 May 2012 | 8:48 am
    Today, F5 announced that support for SPDY was going to be available in version 11.2 of the BigIP OS, when it ships later this year although I don't know if this will be built into the base system or if it will ship as an add-on module. In addition to SPDY support, other improvements that look to be coming will center around image optimization, CSS versioning, and content reordering so 11.2 is looking to be an interesting release. Update: A slideshow with more info has been posted.

    Since April 25 I’ve been logging chunks of my life. Trivial, yet in the longterm interesting stuff like how many coffees, salads, metro and bike rides I’ve had. I think it’s exciting. Some may find it weird, others unnecessary and others plain stupid. I find it intriguing, awesome and useful. Data is important. In the short term it – might – is pointless but the exciting part starts when one distances himself from the present and try to figure out the patterns that emerge and as a result change his life – not in any kind of spiritual way but in a very…

  • Why RSS is not dead, will not be and the major difference with Twitter

    Apostolos
    16 Apr 2012 | 5:07 pm
    RSS is great — it never has been widely accepted by the masses but still, it’s really useful. And there’s a big distinction between how RSS is and how is supposed to be used, and Twitter. In the true form of things, they never competed — and if they did — that was a mistake. The main difference between those two (RSS, Twitter) is time-relevancy. And, well, acceptance and usage from the masses. That’s where RSS is behind. Time-relevancy and the real-time newsfeed Twitter took off for several reasons. One of them is the “instantness.” Using Twitter, a user…

  • Side-project Local Thessaloniki, all about social & location again

Hence my new side-project, Local Thessaloniki. Local Thessaloniki is basically a foursquare list (you should follow it here), heavily curated to feature only the best venues of the city. All about food, coffee, drinks and cocktails. But there’s more. It’s a list embedded on an external (mine, lol) website that helps with the visual part — foursquare lacks on that one.

Users rarely run into situations that require chkdsk’s intervention but when they do they’re in for quite the lengthy wait as it looks over your hard drive for faults.

On the plus side, they do keep the same memory configuration and memory clock speeds as the 680 so you’re not giving up much in…

In his talk, Robin mentioned a new technology on the horizon which holds the promise of replacing DRAM, SRAM and NAND called resistive random access memory (ReRAM or RRAM). If so, ReRAM will enter the technological race pitting MRAM, Graphene Flash, PCM and racetrack memory as followons for NAND technology.  But none of these have any intention of replacing DRAM.

It certainly signals a significant ongoing interest in flash storage in whatever form that takes. Currently EMC offers PCIe flash storage (VFCache), SSD options in VMAX and VNX, and has plans for a shared flash cache array (project: Thunder).  An all-flash storage array makes a lot of sense if you believe this represents an architecture that can grab market share in…

Down a bit in the article they said that the mystery deflecting gamma rays seems to be the creation of  ”virtual electron” electron&anti-electron pairs in the nucleus. The deflection is something ~1.000000001 not much yet, but the belief is that even heavier elements such as gold will refract gamma rays even better.

    If you have used the Deployment Imaging Servicing Management (DISM) cmdlets in Windows 8 (Server or Client), you would have quickly realized that the functionality is limited only to certain basic tasks around image servicing and tasks such as capturing a WIM image and applying WIM image are still with dism.exe. So, we still need to use dism.exe when we need to perform some of the advanced tasks as I mentioned here. Now, it may not a very suitable solution when you want to do everything using PowerShell.

    2 Feb 2012 | 6:55 am
    Ever since PowerShell v3.0 CTP build got released, I am using ISE as my primary script editor. I keep changing preferences such as colors, etc. The new feature in ISE v3 remembers the changes made to ISE options. While this is quite useful, sometimes resetting all the changes we did can become painful. I need to use Tool->Options dialog and then click the 'Restore Defaults' button Or we can use the $psise.Options.RestoreDefaults() method. I am not sure of any other method unless I missed it in the RTFM

Apparently it will be sporting a nice  7-inch retina display with a super high resolution.

It will be shipped only in 8GB and will be released this October. To me £200 is viable, if it has a 7 inch display and 8GB of storage I…

This last weekend IBM added support for attaching multiple volumes on the SmartCloud, and Josh just couldn't resist gathering more data. The numbers show the IBM SmartCloud persistent store outperforms the Amazon Elastic Block Store at 1, 2 and 3 volume disks. In fact a disk made from 3 striped IBM volumes actually performs about 45% better than the equivalent 4 volume disk on Amazon. IBM has currently…

  • Disruption in the Cloud

    Joe Kinsella
    11 May 2012 | 12:14 pm
    My interest in cloud computing was driven several years ago by a simple belief: the cloud is a disruptive technology that will transform the landscape of computing. The belief was deeply influenced by Harvard professor Clayton Christensen’s 1997 book, The Innovator’s Dilemma, which postulates that established market leaders almost always fail when confronted with disruptive innovation. While few today would argue cloud computing is not a disruptive technology, there is little agreement on the timing and impact of the disruption. Background on Disruptive Innovation The simple fact is that…

    Joe Kinsella
    6 May 2012 | 5:40 am
    Reference architectures are used to define best practice templates for implementing hardware and/or software solutions. While they have traditionally been associated with physical infrastructure, they are just as indispensable in the cloud. A well defined reference architecture can be a critical tool for managing cost, performance and maintainability of your cloud infrastructure. Objectives Reference architectures can take many forms - e.g. a document, diagram, spreadsheet, code. At a minimum, the reference architecture should answer the following questions about an application architecture:…

  • IBM Cloud Ecosystem: Spotlight on Sonian

    Excerpted from ThoughtsonCloud, by Jeff Klink and Joe Kinsella The cloud ecosystem is undoubtedly a valuable asset to cloud computing.  With the empowerment that comes from the value of the vendors, the limits on cloud vendor’s growth surely diminishes with each passing day.  The IBM cloud ecosystem team is comprised of business and technical leaders who look toward independent software vendor (ISV) relationships and their ability to grow the IBM cloud.  One vendor that I have had the pleasure of working alongside recently is a cloud data archival service named Sonian.  Over the last…

In this review we will be taking a look at the official Apple iPad Smart Cover, Leather Tan, designed for the iPad 2 (model MD302ZM/A) but also works with the 3rd generation of iPad. Whilst this review will focus on the leather version there are two main types of Smart Cover available: the Polyurethane design and the premium aniline-dyed Italian…

    The big data market looks set to be worth over 50 billion dollars by 2017, up from just 5 billion today, according to research from technology research and advisory community Wikibon. In 2011, the market leaders in the field of big data, by revenue, were familiar names including IBM, Intel, HP and Oracle, with Microsoft down at 23rd place. The split of big data spending is between services (44%), hardware (31%), and software (25%). Big data adds levels of complexity that require new skills. Typical organised data, such as that from an ERP or CRM, may fall into the gigabytes of size but big…

    According to a recent study, by data integration company Informatica, more than 67% of respondents viewed “big data” as a business opportunity rather than a risk. The survey asked almost 600 business and IT professionals their views on a range of big data issues and over a third were either testing/piloting, or had in production already, big data related projects with the aims of achieving greater operational efficiencies and increasing business agilities. One of the big challenges identified by the respondents were the lack of tools, or the lack of maturity of tools, to handle the task…

    The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it. (Marcus Aurelius) If you have a job in IT (and who among my readers hasn't?), then it is going to fundamentally change soon. Why? In my own job, I see the full spectrum from where IT innovation is created to the very last laggards who are still depending a lot on mainframes and other ancient technology. Some things in IT are new (like, every week there's a new startup/technology/trend that is shaking up the industry), and some things are just repetitions of stuff that has happened before, albeit in slightly different colors.

    While most customers immediately understand how the magic of Oracle's Hybrid Columnar Compression, intelligent storage servers and flash memory make Exadata uniquely powerful against home-grown database systems, some people think that Exalogic is nothing more than a bunch of x86 servers, a storage appliance and an InfiniBand (IB) network, built into a single rack. After all, isn't this exactly what the High Performance Computing (HPC) world has been doing for decades? On the surface, this may be true.

And that is the problem most people in IT struggle with: How is what you do in IT related to your company's total value chain?

In fact, most of my project/personal data on my Mac sits on sparse encrypted disk images that are regularly rsynced to an external storage service, Strato's in particular. The beauty of this solution lies in it simplicity: Sparse encrypted disk images show up just like any other hard drive.

A new report coming from Open Rights Group highlights exactly why we are against it just weeks after UK mobile ISPs began blocking Swedish BitTorrent Website ThePirateBay. It's almost tragic just how perfectly our concerns about internet censorship are being practiced - and even more so thanks to the timing of it all. Late last month, the UK High Court ordered ISPs to begin blocking Swedish BitTorrent website ThePirateBay. At the…

    One of the most common ailments bloggers suffer from is back pain. This is due to the extended hours spent sitting in a chair typing away on computers. This problem is commonplace for people who do not get enough physical exercise in their daily routine. Women are especially prone to this and are in danger of having bad posture as well. An excellent way to combat these effects is by taking regular stretching breaks. Stretching is good for loosening up muscles and relieving tension for problem areas. The neck and back can be a source of great discomfort after long hours of sitting. Blogging is…

It was so nice to use that four months later I purchased the Roku 2 XS for the living room and no…

    15 May 2012 | 10:53 am
    Technology can make or break a life –it’s a fact. This is especially so for kids. Children growing up, left alone to play violent video games, may have the tendency, later on, to view life as nothing but a series of battles to be fought. Today, even child psychiatrist will advise parents to train children from early on to instinctively distinguish virtual life from real life. We hear of kids playing online games and video games for hours, thumbs in perpetual motion as if their lives depended on winning a game. In most countries, gaming seems to be what a child interprets as…

  • The Next Big Thing: New Tech Start-Ups on the Rise

    Renee Schmidt
    11 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    Each of us can name at least one friend who has had (or thought they had) a killer idea for the next big app. But how many of those ideas actually take off? Not many. Maybe it’s because the idea wasn’t brilliant after all, or maybe the Silicon Valley venture capital was missing. Whatever the case may be, in actuality, the start-up scene is flooded with apps and services that are more than worthy of investment. We’ve decided to put together a list of a few start-ups that are making moves on the tech scene; ones that could even become the next Instagram. Here are our favorites!

  • The Levo League: Empowering Career Success for Women

    On April 17th, President Obama proclaimed – National Equal Pay Day, calling Americans to recognize the full value of women’s skills, their contribution to the work force, acknowledge the injustice of wage discrimination, and join efforts to achieve equal pay. Make some noise generation Y ladies! National Equal Pay Day has defiantly broken the glass ceiling, right? Well, not exactly. Sad to say, not all companies have taken recognition to the ‘end of inequality.’ Now a new wave of women have taken on the challenge of equal pay. One group in particular is the Levo League. Led…

    The are almost too many tech events in the calendar these days to mark any particular one out as being worthy of note. I say almost because, on the global stage at least, TechCrunch Disrupt (Ok, Ok, but still...) remains up there because of how much other media attend and, well, just it's general awesomeness. Into this small basket you could also put, for instance, Le Web, Founders Forum in the UK, DLD, The Lobby Conference, the tech elements at Davos and maybe even TED. What few of them are doing however, is celebrating new blood. You tend to see the people who have made it, not the one's…

  • Tenenbaum To Supreme Court: Let's Get This Constitutional Debate On Statutory Rates For Copyright Infringement Rolling

    16 May 2012 | 5:09 am
    You may recall that, in the case of Joel Tenenbaum -- who is in a legal battle with some major lbels for file sharing -- a jury awarded the labels $675,000 for the sharing of just a few songs. The judge, Nancy Gertner, pointed out that this seemed unconstitutionally excessive and reduced the award to $67,500 -- knocking 90% off the jury's award. The appeals court in the case reinstated the original $675,000 on procedural grounds. It said that Judge Gertner jumped the gun in leaping to the constitutional question, rather than using remittitur, as had been done in the Jammie Thomas case.

    A new Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone will be hitting the Verizon shelves soon. Verizon and HTC once again have teamed up to release the new HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE smartphone. The phone comes packed with a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 4 inch LCD qHD screen, and an 8 megapixel camera.

  • Text Editing On The iPad Just Got A Lot Easier For Jailbreakers

    Patrick Bisch
    5 May 2012 | 12:42 pm
    Typing on the iPad has never been something I was particularly fond of. Having to go back and forth between the keyboard and the text you’re writing is nowhere near as fast or efficient as using a physical keyboard and shortcuts. But the other day I saw a concept video that showed how text editing on the iPad could be much better. Just swipe to the left or right on the iPad keyboard to move the cursor left or right. No more back-and-forth between the keyboard and text. Genius! That was just 3 days ago, and it seems a jailbreak developer has already been working on bringing it to Cydia.

    Google is always coming up with fun, quirky things to experiment with on the web. They recently showed off an 8-bit version of Google Maps during April Fool’s Day (which they’re big on), and an even more recent experiment with their search engine turning into a battle between O’s and search results while searching for “Zerg Rush” (it’s a StarCraft tactic). Google had another experiment up their sleeves this weekend when it showed off a new browser-based game called Cube.

  • Bypass Location-Based Internet Restrictions With Unblock Us

    Marc Angeli
    26 Apr 2012 | 9:30 am
    When I moved from the U.S. to Canada 11 years ago, Internet content restrictions weren’t an issue. The Internet wasn’t the multimedia experience it is today, so most sites didn’t even bother geo-blocking. But now everything seems to have to be re-licensed for each country it airs in (don’t even get me started on the stupidity of the process), and it’s become a huge nightmare for services to try keep content the same across the board (say, what happened to NAFTA?). So, as a result, content in other countries compared to content in the United States is lacking.

    AMD has long been playing catch up to Intel in the processor wars, with both companies recently finding that their main competitor is actually ARM Holdings for the future and not so much each other. In this regard, Intel recently launched its Ivy Bridge series of CPUs for the thin MacBook Air-esque “UltraBooks” and Trinity from AMD is their competitor for the same products which they refer to as “SleekBooks”. The HP Envy SleekBook is the only such device with a Trinity chipset on the market at the moment, but Acer, Asus, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba all have…

    We live in a connected world that becomes smaller by the day as technology and the internet brings everyone closer together. National boundaries mean very little online, and industries that still try and impose geographic restrictions are the ones that are suffering most in this digital revolution. If a film, album, or some software is released in one country before another it is promptly pirated and “released” worldwide. But it is not just digital goods that are impacted by the worldwide nature of our outlook but services and even physical products. It used to be that a company…

Rather than clutter the SERP with people’s likes and Google + profiles like Google does, Bing’s social search functionality is nothing more than a gray sidebar (closed by…

After meeting with Facebook managers to address concerns, the company’s marketing executives were left unconvinced of the effectiveness of the site’s advertising methods, claiming its paid ads had little impact on consumers.

    14 May 2012 | 11:12 am
    In these days of online cloud storage, it certainly makes sense to use these storage services for backing up your precious files so that in case of disaster or data loss, you can just download the files from the cloud. We should give importance to our digital life as the data is not replaceable and once lost, its lost forever. If you are using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and want to share files to public, then here is how it can be done. Making a file public means sharing that file with your friends and family. The process is very simple and easy, as you may have never thought.

    Like Apple, Microsoft has also introduced its own Windows Store in Windows 8 for installing applications specific to Windows 8 . On Mac OS, there are many different kinds of apps available but at this stage, the Windows Store cannot compete with Apple’s App Store. Its too early to compare both these app stores. The problem is that anyone with access to your computer can easily download and install apps from this store. A solution to this problem is to disable Windows Store in Windows 8. This would be useful especially for those who are using Windows 8 in a corporate environment.

    The Wall Street Journal is this morning reporting word from Apple's suppliers that the iPhone maker has placed orders for new iPhone displays, which measure "at least 4 inches diagonally." Production is said to be commencing next month, with the WSJ identifying LG Display, Sharp, and Japan Display Inc. as the three major panel suppliers that Apple is contracting. A move up from the iPhone's persistent 3.5-inch form factor has started to feel overdue in the current climate of 4.7- and 4.8-inch flagship Android smartphones, so this may finally be a sign of the Cupertino company relenting and…

    When we reviewed the Panasonic P–04D last month, some of our major gripes with the device were its lack of Android 4.0, laggy performance, Pentile screen, glossy plastic construction, and the poor placement of the sleep / wake button. Well, today Panasonic and NTT Docomo are announcing a new handset — the Eluga V P–06D — that fixes pretty much every complaint we had. First off, this isn't the 5-inch Eluga Power, although Docomo will be releasing that phone later this year as well. All of Docomo’s new Android devices are launching with Android 4.0, and the…

    A new Pantech LTE smartphone has met with FCC approval, and judging by the specs it's on its way to AT&T — but there may be some interesting surprises in store. Along with the expected assortment of legacy radios, the P8010 also supports four separate LTE bands: the 700MHz and 1700MHz bands, which AT&T already uses for LTE, and the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands as well. Of course, AT&T currently uses the latter two for its 3G network, but the inclusion of LTE support for those bands could indicate the carrier is planning to use some of its existing spectrum to help expand its LTE…

Songify is an auto-tune app that turns your spoken words into music, Auto-Tune the Newsstyle, and has seen over nine million downloads on Apple devices. Smule said last December that the company was unlikely to port its apps to Android as most devices that run the OS have a high audio latency that makes them difficult to develop for. Prerna Gupta, co-founder of Khush (the original developer of Songify, which was bought by Smule last year), tells GigaOM that "the critical mass on Android has become very interesting,"…

That’s the problem the PVR/DVR/TiVo solves, right? Not always.

I can get a lot of the same content directly from the providers…

However, as the importance of startups finally becomes apparent to the powers-that-be, the tools and opportunities available to tech entrepreneurs in countries like Ireland is taking some of the fear out of it. This is no doubt a good thing, but perhaps some of these startups are living in an artificial cocoon of funding, incubation, mentoring, games rooms, and lattes in the common area. The fear of losing everything isn’t always as strong a…

  • The Value of IP

    One of the ironies of our high tech age is that developers and designers seem to know very little about the value of software as a product.

But these are just methods to attaining a given goal in, hopefully, a faster and better way. Admirable as some of this guidance maybe, software applications and software businesses are often created seemingly without very much understanding of the real, inherent value of Intellectual Property (IP).

    Social discovery is an online space that has been emerging over the last couple of years. It is a throwback to some of the original ideas that the first social networks were built around. Friendster was about meeting new people through mutual friendships. Likewise, MySpace was a very social way of discovering new music. In contrast, Facebook, with its multiple levels of privacy settings is very much about keeping in touch with people you already know. Social discovery is, in essence, a network that enables you to meet people. For the moment, with Facebook’s star still in the ascendency,…

    Paul Lilly

    Without question, Ultrabooks are the sexiest, trendiest laptops on the market right now, and with good reason. They're thin and light like a MacBook Air and every bit as good looking (and in some cases, they're thinner, lighter, and better looking than their iOS competitors), fast, and highly portable with long-lasting battery life. All of these things are attractive in a notebook, but if you could afford a desktop replacement laptop, would you still shop an Ultrabook? That's a question consumers will have to answer.

Meanwhile, Shenzhena in south China is rumored to launch LTE service in late May to a small number of customers.

    You’ve probably noticed the Digg Digg plugin on the left-hand side of each DailyTekk post (even if you had no idea what it was called). It’s what we use to embed social sharing buttons on our site to make it easier for people to spread the work about what they read and like on the site. It was working great (and still is), but I started getting a few comments here and there saying I needed to add some sharing buttons to the site to make sharing easier. Huh? What I discovered was that if someone accesses the site in a small enough browser (either due to screen restraints or mobile…

    Chris McConnell
    15 May 2012 | 6:30 am
    Remember when you first started using email? It was cool, wasn’t it? And fun? Now email has become a chore. For modern Americans, our inboxes are a bit like our homes–we spend a lot of time there so it might as well be as pleasant of an experience as possible. Our lives still run on email, of course, because it’s a default form of communication but also an avenue of authentication (how many sites still require you to enter your email address in order to create an account?). Email may slowly become less relevant (or more likely, morph and change shape) in our personal and…

I’ve been a founder or co-founder in tech startups for the past 13 years. I’ve hired over 100 people in that time. I’ve hired a recruitment agency once; we were desperate and needed the talent.

I'd agree for many years this has been the truth however something is happening in the world of Linux. I is starting to innovate again. Some might say that it has been doing this for years, however i think its fair to say with the numbers of Windows users coming over to the desktop it's had to slow down the innovation and focus on the usability aspect.

    7 May 2012 | 1:54 am
    The Dell XPS 13 ultrabook looks quite standard for this class of devices. The aluminum cover, a thin form factor, multiple ports, and basically, that's all. The memory is soldered directly to the motherboard, so upgrading of memory is not possible. However, you can replace the 128 GB SSD drive, (or you can buy a model with 256 GB SSD included). In general it is better to leave it as is. The Dell XPS 13 ultrabook has a 13 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display. This resolution and the quality of the screen are enough for the average user. Also, the brightness, contrast and color of the display are…

    So what is it that makes the Live Duo better than just an ordinary external drive? Well for one thing, at 4 terabytes of space, you’re not going to be running short any time soon, thanks to the two drives hidden away in the device. Secondly, the drive also features RAID0 or RAID1 support – in RAID0 mode you’ll have access to storage on both drives, so when one drive is full, your data will be diverted to the second drive. In RAID1 mode, you’ll only have half the storage capacity (2TB in this case), but anything you copy onto the device is mirrored on both drives. So in the event of…

  • Ö Case for the iPhone comes with built-in screen cleaner

    15 May 2012 | 8:10 am
    Thanks to our phones in general spotting glossy looking displays, this is just a recipe for attracting fingerprints and grime, thus making our displays to look extremely unsightly if not cleaned every now and then. While using our shirts and napkins as makeshift screen cleaners, wouldn’t it be better if we could take proper screen cleaners with us on the go? Designer Löytö Esineiden has come up with what he thinks is a solution in the form of the Ö Case, a case for the iPhone that comes with a built-in screen cleaner.                   …

    This is the last post on the four part series of how to define an application integration tool. In the previous posts, we looked at Web Enablement, SOA Enablement and Application Integration. In this post, we will look at process controls and their relationship to the tools that facilitate the many needs of application integration. Controlling processes is an important aspect of most application integration implementations. Whether manually built into the integration effort through individually coded routines or using a tool to simplify process creation, it is typically the layer of the…

  • Verastream and Application Integration

    Ronald Nunan
    19 Mar 2012 | 9:08 am
    Continuing with our look at the most common Verastream uses, let’s examine application integration. In this use, Verastream plays its most pure middle-ware role. Application integration is generally thought of as using software to control the process of linking separate applications together. According to the Wiki Page Enterprise Application Integration, “Enterprise Application Integration is an integration framework composed of a collection of technologies and services which form a middleware to enable integration of systems and applications across the enterprise.” (At least that is…

  • Service Enabling your Legacy Applications with Verastream

    Ronald Nunan
    21 Feb 2012 | 9:52 am
    A couple of week ago, we introduced several of the more helpful things that Verastream is used for.  One of them was service-oriented architecture (SOA) Enablement. This means that Verastream can break old or ‘legacy’ applications into sets of reusable services, allowing these applications to operate as good citizens in your enterprise SOA.  Most likely your customer information control system (CICS) or other mainframe applications were not built to participate in an SOA. With Verastream, you can wrap an application, say your CICS-based General Ledger, and expose parts of it as…

  • Who Knew – Web Enabling Terminal Screens is Popular Again

    Ronald Nunan
    26 Jan 2012 | 9:07 am
    A popular method in the ’90s to enhance terminal applications – the practice of creating an appended front-end for older, typically character-based applications – has been around for years. That’s actually a longer time than the web has been around.  But since the mid to late ’90s, this practice has largely revolved around putting a graphical representation of an application represented in a browser – a web enabled user interface (UI). Useful for applying a modern and more functional UI to old applications, it had benefits in not requiring changes to the source or…

  • How do you describe an Application Integration tool?

    Ronald Nunan
    23 Dec 2011 | 12:52 pm
    In talking with someone who uses  Attachmate products, but does not have direct experience with a Verastream solution, I was asked what is it that Verastream does. It’s a good question, and one that doesn’t really have a single answer – primarily because Verastream can be used in different ways. You could describe Verastream by the technology itself. Verastream is a platform and set of tools used to facilitate the unlocking of legacy assets. Once unlocked, information from these systems can be put to use as needed. You could also dive into the technology that makes this happen, but…

    Baroan Technologies 2012At Baroan Technologies, we are often asked, "What is managed services? Do we need it? What can it do for our company?". Our favorite way of describing managed services is this: Think of your computer (or your whole network) as a car. When you get home from work, you leave your car in the garage until the next morning. Imagine that while you're sleeping, a pit crew comes in and does a complete 20 point inspection, rotates your tires, fills your gas tank, and changes the oil. Every morning your car is optimized and ready to go. This is what managed services does for your…

  • How to Reduce Picture Size in Outlook

    24 Apr 2012 | 2:00 pm
    Sending digital pictures by email can result in huge message sizes which may be bounced by the sender or recipient's email server. To avoid an issue, you should reduce the size of image attachments before you send them. While this is easy to do in any image editing program, including the Picture Manager that comes with Outlook 2003 and up, it does take a few minutes to reduce the photo and save it. You can save a lot of time if you let Windows or Outlook reduce the file size as you attach the image instead of resizing it yourself. There are a couple ways to do this. Note: If the recipient…

  • Phishing Scam: "Looks like someone broke into your Facebook"

    One of our help desk techs recently came across this scam when helping a client with an email issue. This email found in the inbox was the cause of the issue. It does not look like a typical phishing scam since it is written in a casual manner that makes it seem as if it was sent from an actual person. The email claims that your Facebook account has been hacked. The subject is "Looks like someone broke into your facebook!" and the zip attachment is a virus. The body of the email can say a variety of things, as we found that some people received the message: "Hi there ______, What's with your…

  • Which Works Best for Encrypted File Transfers - RSA or DSA?

    Overview During the process of generating server keys, client keys, or PGP keys in the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager, you're asked to choose between two supported key algorithms: RSA or DSA. Which one should you choose?     The purpose of server, client, and PGP keys Maybe I should start by explaining very briefly what these keys are for. When you generate a server, client, or PGP "key", you are actually generating a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. Private keys are for decrypting and signing, while public keys are for encrypting and verifying. When you generate a server…

Mistakes affecting customers can be embarrassing, painful, costly -- and, in the era of social media, broadcast to millions of people. How do you deal with them?

    Identity theft is growing by the numbers each day and all because users do not take the proper precautionary measures to safeguard their private data. The same goes for companies.

Software can ensure that employees get paid on time, allow executives to converse with overseas clients as well as safeguard highly confidential company secrets. All of that effort will go to waste if hackers get into a company’s networking system and have their way with it.

    John

    The discussions regarding Android Fragmentation have been moving upward this month, especially because of the most recent numbers coming from Google’s own Android Developer site.

The upgrade process for the OS on a smart phone should be multiple times over the course of a year and yet it seems that there is often only a single update. That is unless you have an Apple iPhone where they force these…
