There are certainly cases in which athletes receive concussions, yet say that they feel fine when asked. That’s why Reebok and flexible electronics developer MC10 have created the CheckLight skull cap.

    The octopus is a natural escape artist. It can squeeze its soft body into impossibly tight spaces and often baffles aquarium workers with its ability to break out of tanks. These abilities could be very useful in an underwater robot, which is why the OCTOPUS Project, a consortium of European robotics labs, is attempting to reverse engineer it in all its tentacled glory. Now researchers from the Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH), in Hellas, Greece are learning how the robot might use its tentacles to swim... Continue Reading Unleash the Kraken!

In some cases, we may even run through possible conversational scenarios in our heads beforehand, in order to “train” for the big event. The problem is, those imaginary interactions can’t provide us with unbiased feedback on what we could stand to improve. MIT’s new MACH (My Automated Conversation coacH) software, however, does exactly that. ..

  • Microsoft's Most Wanted: A Convicted Child Molester Worked At Yammer

    When the media begins reporting that some once-pervasive piece of technology is finally, definitively dead, my instinct is always to be skeptical. Back in 2011, for instance, NBC Nightly News ran a segment that commemorated the closure of what it said was the world’s last typewriter factory. More than two years later, the typewriter is still very much with us. So when I saw news stories this week stating that the world’s final telegram will be sent in India on July 14–169 years after Samuel Morse’s first telegraph message–I didn’t automatically assume that…

    Among the many things that everybody knows about Apple which aren’t actually true is the notion that it only tells the world about products once they’re fully baked. In the case of operating systems–for Macs, iPhones and iPads–it always shows off new versions months before consumers can get their hands on them, when they’re still works in progress. That’s more by necessity than choice: The company needs to give third-party developers early access to upcoming upgrades so they can begin to get their apps ready. Usually, however, what Apple shows involves…

    Inside The Immortality Business: Fascinating look inside the world of Cryonics (the freezing of the body to “cure” death later) by Josh Dean: I don’t think it’s overly reductive to state that there are three possible outcomes for those who choose the freezer over a coffin: One, science never overcomes the obstacles that stand in the way of bringing patients back and they are either thawed and disposed of the way they would have been disposed of originally. This is not a terrible outcome. They’ll have no idea it even happened. Two, the patients are thawed in whatever state they may…

  • Verizon Accused of Intentionally Slowing Netflix Video Streaming

    Soulskill
    18 Jun 2013 | 4:30 pm
    colinneagle writes "A recent GigaOm report discusses Verizon's 'peering' practices, which involves the exchange of traffic between two bandwidth providers. When peering with bandwidth provider Cogent starts to reach capacity, Verizon reportedly isn't adding any ports to meet the demand, Cogent CEO Dave Schaffer told GigaOm. 'They are allowing the peer connections to degrade,' Schaffer said. 'Today some of the ports are at 100 percent capacity.' Why would Verizon intentionally disrupt Netflix video streaming for its customers? One possible reason is that Verizon owns a 50% stake in Redbox, the…

  • Oculus Rift Raises Another $16 Million

    Soulskill
    18 Jun 2013 | 3:50 pm
    Craefter writes "It seems that the Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset caught the attention of investors after its showing at E3 this year. Spark Capital and Matrix Partners were able to push $16 million at Oculus VR in the hopes that the product will live up to the hype. The HD unit looks a bit more slick than the ski-goggles-with-a-tablet-glued-to-it prototype, but the device would look even more appealing if the next-gen consoles would commit to supporting it. (We all know how well the PS3's 'wave-stick' did as an afterthought.) That said, major titles like the 9-year-old Half-Life 2 and…

  • Google Files First Amendment Challenge Against FISA Gag Order

    The Washington Post reports that Google has filed a motion challenging the gag orders preventing it from disclosing information about the data requests it receives from government agencies. The motion cites the free speech protections of the First Amendment. "FISA court data requests typically are known only to small numbers of a company’s employees. Discussing the requests openly, either within or beyond the walls of an involved company, can violate federal law."

    Patrick Moorhead

    Modularity in electronics is defined as being able to transform or extend from one device into another.  In smartphones, it has been very successful and for the most part, it has displaced the mp3 player, and GPS.  For many, the smartphone displaced a portable game device and a camera.  Some consumers are using their phones as their stereo by plugging it into a speaker bay, and some college kids will even link their phones to their HDTVs to watch videos.  Years ago, one could claim that the PC sucked in the typewriter, but it’s hard to say that recent modularity attempts have been a…

Unlike Facebook and Microsoft, Google and Twitter publicly rejected a government deal to disclose the total number of spying warrants for user data, which would include (but not detail) the number of requests coming from the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA). “Lumping national security requests together with criminal requests—as some companies have been permitted to do—would be a backward step for our…

Yes, we are all more accessible thanks to the mobile phone and the social Web but that does not mean you should be calling me in the middle of the day to pitch me about your startup, does it?

Then the person behind the counter of the Chinese place did something smart that could have easily been the “differentiator” that would lure me in to becoming a customer. He held out a little plastic fork with a piece of juicy meat on it for me to taste. As if to say “Taste this meat,…

  • States Attorneys General Want Special Exception To Blame Sites For Actions Of Users

    Mike Masnick
    18 Jun 2013 | 3:50 pm
    One of the most important laws that has enabled innovation on the internet to thrive is Section 230 of the CDA. We've written about it many times. What it says is fairly basic: a website cannot be held liable for actions by its users. There are a few exceptions and caveats, but that's the basic premise. And it makes perfect common sense -- so much so that it's almost amazing that you need a law to say it. But, we do, because when grandstanding and moral panics come around, politicians and people with pitchforks love to blame third parties and intermediaries as if they're the problem. And,…

    Google appears to be stepping it up a notch in trying to fight back against the claims that it is somehow opening up its system to the NSA or other law enforcement folks. As you now know well, one of the leaks from Ed Snowden a few weeks ago was about a system called PRISM, which is associated with how tech companies provide information to the federal government in response to FISA court orders. The initial reports, claiming that the NSA had full direct access to servers and could see what people were doing in real time, appear to have been extremely overblown, as it now seems clear that this…

    In the wake of the NSA scandal leaks, there have been several examples of government officials and law enforcement coming out to state both that the program is necessary and that its existence ought never have been revealed. Those who espouse the latter often indicate that, as a result, Edward Snowden is some measure of a traitor, and in some cases so are members of the press that reported on the revelations. Not all former and current government folks are in that camp, of course, but those that are not typically argue the polar opposite: that the NSA program is either unconstitutional or…

Now, with the new NSA surveillance scandal, he's back (of course) and taking the lovely position that it's perfectly fine to charge journalists who publish information about NSA surveillance with crimes.

I borrowed a couple of computers from friends to write papers and used another friend’s to play games.

  • The first 3D-printed battery is as tiny as a grain of sand

    Signe Brewster
    18 Jun 2013 | 5:26 pm
    Imagine a computer so small it could slip through the human bloodstream. At just a millimeter in width, a new battery built by a Harvard University and University of Illinois team is perfectly suited to be a power source for tiny computers. It is also the first battery to ever be fabricated with a 3D printer. The team used a custom printer and ink to produce the batteries. A nozzle one millimeter wide deposited layers of nanoparticle-packed paste in a comb-like shape. A second printed comb nestled into the first, their teeth interlocked. These functioned as the two halves of electrodes, which…

  • Apple amends Siri’s response to suicide with more direct approach

    18 Jun 2013 | 4:00 pm
    When it comes to aiding someone who is emotionally driven to kill him or herself, the right response can literally be a matter of life and death. In order to help those in crisis, Apple has updated Siri’s search response system to field suicide-related requests with an approach designed to drive users to seek help as quickly as possible. With an update to phones running iOS 6 and iOS 7, Siri now reacts with a strong, two-fold approach when mentions of suicide come up. First, the assistant offers the number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and will even offer to call directly…

  • When your mother-in-law is endorsing you on LinkedIn, it’s time to question endorsements

    Eliza Kern
    18 Jun 2013 | 3:54 pm
    Last week I logged into LinkedIn and saw that one of my relatives had endorsed me for blogging. I like my relative a lot. But he’s not a tech blogger, and he’s not a colleague of mine at GigaOM either. In fact, we’ve never even worked together. I assumed he endorsed me because he’d read some of my articles, or he just wanted to be nice. But really, I had no idea why I got the endorsement. So I was curious to hear from LinkedIn: What is the point of endorsing someone on the social network? Is there any benefit to me if I get endorsement from a kind-of-random person who…

  • SpaceCurve raises $10M to make sense of our streams of location data

    SpaceCurve, a Seattle-based startup building a database designed to handle streams of geospatial data, has raised a $10 million Series B round from Triage Ventures, Reed Elsevier Ventures (see disclosure) and Divergent Ventures. The company launched in early 2012, and is promising customers the ability to build location-based products like Waze and a whole lot more. SpaceCurve has been pretty silent since its inception, presumably because it’s busy building out a product that has to convince businesses to build applications or run analytics in ways they might not have even seriously…

    Google has asked a secret Washington court to declare that it has a right under the First Amendment to disclose the number of security letters it receives under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Such letters, which the government uses to obtain phone and internet data about foreign nationals, are currently subject to an automatic gag order that forbids companies from disclosing their very existence. On Tuesday, Google said it is filing a petition to the secret court, known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The petition, embedded below, notes that the search giant has…

    Today we had a chance to play with Qualcomm's latest MDP devices (tablet and phone) which pack the company's mighty Snapdragon 800 SoC (MSM8974). The tablet is slightly larger than last year's MDP and features a 11.6-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel display, 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 32GB of built-in flash storage (with microSD expansion) and a 12 megapixel AF rear camera with flash (2MP in front).

  • Microsoft says it freed at least 2 million PCs from Citadel botnets

    Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that it took down 1,400 Citadel botnets with the help of the FBI, and now Ballmer and Co. have divulged just how big of an impact the effort had. According to Richard Domingues Boscovich, the firm's Digital Crimes Unit assistant general counsel, the operation freed at least 2 million PCs across the globe from the malicious code -- and that's a conservative estimate by his reckoning. It's believed that more than $500 million has been stolen from bank accounts thanks to information gleaned from keystrokes logged by computers afflicted with the software.

  • Dish doesn't submit another bid to buy Sprint, will 'consider its options'

    Richard Lawler
    18 Jun 2013 | 4:27 pm
    The latest move in the standoff between Softbank, Sprint, Dish Network and Clearwire has been made, as Dish stated today it will not submit another bid for Sprint. This comes after Sprint sued to stop Dish from buying Clearwire, which the satellite company called an attempt to deflect attention from its own unfair dealings. If you'll recall, Dish Network jumped in with a $25.5 billion offer to buy Sprint, but after Japanese carrier Softbank improved its proposal slightly, Sprint put Dish on a deadline to respond. That time limit expired today, and Dish is choosing to consider its options on…

  • Nintendo taps Steel Diver franchise for its first free-to-play game

    Nintendo was coy when it announced that its first free-to-play game will launch before the end of next March, divulging only that it wouldn't belong to the Mario or Pokemon franchises. However, the firm's Shigeru Miyamoto revealed to IGN that its first gratis title would be a Steel Diver game -- yes, as in the 3DS launch title -- featuring four-person multiplayer. Don't expect a rehash though, as the pricing model will change the game's design. Kyoto's gaming powerhouse hasn't settled on what business model they'll lean on quite yet, but CEO Satoru Iwata mentioned during an E3 analyst Q&A…

The decision may be good news for Japan's SoftBank Corp, which is also trying to buy Sprint. Satellite TV provider Dish said in a statement that it was not practical for it to submit a revised offer by the June 18 deadline imposed by Sprint even though it "continues to see strategic value in a merger with Sprint. ...

  • Kazam Is Another European Startup Hoping Against Hope To Inch In To The Smartphone Hardware Market

    Natasha Lomas
    18 Jun 2013 | 12:05 pm
    Hardware is so hot right now. So hot, in fact, that another European hardware startup is formulating an attack on the smartphone hardware space — joining the likes of Finland’s Jolla and Spain’s Geeksphone to have a go at handset making. The newest comer stepping in with a plan to shake up the “status quo” is called Kazam: a startup co-founded by a pair of former U.K. HTC execs, Michael Coombes and James Atkins. Coombes, who spent just over a year and a half as a U.K. head of sales for HTC, according to his LinkedIn, is Kazam’s CEO. Prior to HTC he…

The Goji is an automatic deadbolt that looks like HAL 2000′s eye and can take pictures of folks who come to your door and allows you to lock – and unlock – your door anywhere in the world. The system logs all entries and exits and can notify you when someone opens the bolt.

    Here’s a neat greentech idea currently seeking crowdfunding on Kickstarter. SunnyBot is a microcomputer-powered robot that continually tracks the position of the sun, angling its on-board mirror so that it keeps reflecting the sun’s rays onto a fixed point of your choice. The basic idea being to harness solar energy for use as an indoor light-source when rooms might otherwise be in shade, or to target the sun’s heat where it’s needed — for warming a room or heating a swimming pool or nurturing indoor plants, and so on. SunnyBot’s creators — an Italian…

The other maintains that email can be saved by better software, like Airmail. Airmail is being compared to Sparrow, a popular email client that became too popular for its own survival. Google bought it and absorbed it into Searchzilla's digestive system. The comparison is thanks to Airmail's clean and simple interface, which belies the power of the program.

"I think what's really surprising is that Facebook allowed the deal to die, because they're the ones that really need this app," said tech correspondent David Shamah.

The book released by publisher Simon & Schuster is also getting a small makeover with a new afterword and a brand new cover. The cover features a much younger Steve Jobs in the exact same pose.

    Apple launched a huge new advertising campaign this week, focusing on the company and its values. Just like Apple’s products, the ads for them are perfected in every detail.

  • iPhone Rumors Claim Multiple Colors And Bigger Screen

    13 Jun 2013 | 4:41 am
    Apple is looking at bigger screensizes and the use of multiple colors for future iPhone Models, claims a not so earthshattering Reuters report. Rumors about a bigger and cheaper iPhone have been raging for months. During the AllthingsD conference last May, Apple CEO Tim Cook gave his view about an iPhone model with a larger screen. “A large screen today comes with a lot of trade-offs. People do look at the size. They also look at things like do the photos show the proper color. Battery life, brightness, etc. What our customers want is for us to weigh those and come out with a decision.

It’s not unusual to see a company with hundreds if not thousands of known security defects, commonly called vulnerabilities, presents in their network, on servers and in applications. The tools to detect these defects are easy to purchase and run, the tools to deploy patches are readily available. Yet these well understood defects, these publicly documented issues that sometimes even have step-by-step instructions for how to use them…

    18 Jun 2013 | 9:18 am
    We all know the iPhone 5S is coming, likely with a fall release, and now that the time is near, the typical leaks are starting to occur. The iPhone 5S (or whatever it ends up being called) is being manufactured over in China, where most of these leaks occur. Today we get a look at the display and logic board. Interestingly, these two pieces fit with the previously-leaked camera and flex cable modules. Nothing too exciting here, though, as most of the magic is in the software. If real, this just tells us that Apple has a new iPhone in the works...but we already knew that anyway, right? Tags:…

Even things you “pay for” sell you off to advertisers because you really don’t pay for them—you only cover part of the costs.

  • Human Genes Cannot Be Patented, Says A Landmark US Supreme Court Ruling

    Debjyoti Bardhan
    13 Jun 2013 | 6:18 pm
    A Supreme Court ruling may change the landscape of genetic research forever. The US Supreme Court ruled that human genes cannot be patented, in a landmark hearing giving a huge victory to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) while disheartening Myriad Genetics. The issue was the BRCA genes, the mutations on which are believed to be responsible for increasing the susceptibility to breast cancer. The Contention Myriad Genetics had claimed patent over this gene, claiming to have ‘invented’ this gene, which meant that all treatments and even detection of the BRCA gene would entail a…

    FreshDesk, one of the best known startup success stories to emerge from India, has published a State of Customer Support report based on the data gleaned from the 250,000 users of its customer support software. The key takeaways are not very surprising. Customers hate being put on hold, and are the happiest when their queries are resolved within a reasonable amount of time following which satisfaction ratings plummet. In most cases, customers expect their queries to be resolved within a day. However, resolution time isn’t the sole parameter that determines customer satisfaction. Transparent…

    18 Jun 2013 | 12:59 am
    Cintelliq released a new report (OLED Lighting: products, pricing, capacity, costs and forecasts 2013 - 2022), and they forecast that OLED lighting will grow into a $3 billion market by 2020 - and OLEDs will then be a serious competitor to LED lighting. Cintelliq says that OLED lighting prices are falling fast and will reach €1,000/m2 by 2015/2016. This will cause demand (luminaires for the office, retail and hospitality sectors at first) to accelerate.Cintelliq says that demand will mostly be for rigid and flexible panels. Color and transparent OLEDs will remain a niche even in 2020.

  • DisplaySearch: OLED TV production costs will drop significantly in the following two years, will remain expensive

    oled
    16 Jun 2013 | 1:12 am
    DisplaySearch says that current manufacturing costs for OLED TV panels are almost seven times higher than LCD panels. They estimate the total manufacturing cost of a 55" FHD AMOLED panel to be $2,454 in Q1 2013. The high price is mostly due to low manufacturing yields.DisplaySearch expects these yields to improve, and cost will fall significantly over the next two years, but it will still be much higher compared to LCDs. In fact they think that in the following year the cost will fall by 36%, and so in Q1 2014 the price of producing the same OLED panel will drop to a little over $1,500, or…

    It is said that India will surpass China in terms of the number of 'working-age' population sometime in the next decade. That would be a whopping billion (mostly the next generation) from India and another billion from China alone! While this phenomenon is being hailed as the 'demographic dividend' by many, a few foresee this as 'demographic disaster'. They say it is a potent mega-ton-arab-rising building up. The sad part is that nothing seems to be evident at this point which tilts the outlook in the favor of a dividend rather than a disaster. Neither are strong actions being taken to…

Given the importance placed by startups on media coverage, it isn’t surprising to see creativity, somersaulting and horse-trading.

    I truly enjoy music mashups; they are the definition of creativity. Check out this one by Go Home Productions that reunites some of The Beatles by melding together John Lennon’s Imagine instrumental underneath Paul McCartney & Wings’ Band on the Run vocals to create an eerily cool song–check out this cool Beatles mashup: Can't see the video in your RSS reader or email?

    I used to work at a video game store. When customers were trying to decide which system to purchase, this is what I would tell them: “Focus on the game library.” I think the same can be said for smartphones and tablets. There are many apps that can be used on multiple devices–sometimes better and sometimes worse–but what can really separate the different OS’ are the exclusive apps. If you find that your favorite apps can only be found on a particular platform, that’s the direction you should probably go. Take a look at how the number of apps compare from app…

    Google+ is quickly becoming one of my favorite social networks and part of it is because of the ability to share photos with specific groups of people.  Recently, I took photos at my daughters kindergarten graduation, but I didn’t want to post the photos publicly and I didn’t want to put them on my Dropbox.  I decided to post them on Gooogle+ and share with all of the parents. Here’s how I did it: Photo Privacy with Google+ Photo Albums Google+ has many features, but photos are one of the often overlooked features. How do you use photos on Google+? You just finished…

  • The Pope, Kids and Honesty

    James Cooper
    18 Jun 2013 | 9:30 am
    A lot of things have been said about how the new Pope Francis has done things in a different way. This video is another example of this. Recently thousands of Jesuit school children had a chance to meet and see the Pope and actually ask spontaneous questions! What’s really striking is the honesty – of both the children and the Pope. Can't see the video in your RSS reader or email? Click Here! So often when you see public figures (both religious and secular) talk to children things are ‘dumbed down’ and have sugar coating put on (or are made ‘hip’ and…

    Those readers among you who are of a certain age will remember when a Blackberry was the smartphone to have. Of those, most probably owned a Blackberry. And of those, most probably miss the Blackberry keyboard. It was a real keyboard, not a virtual one, with click-y, tactile, pleasant-to-use keys. In an effort to recreate a quality keyboard experience for iPhone users, several case manufacturers have found ways to incorporate a keyboard into their products. Most of those offer a rather suboptimal experience. Some are downright dreadful. But a few work quite while. Of those Spot Cool Stuff…

It’s not Spot Ordinary Stuff or Spot Reasonably-Well-Made-Low-End Stuff — “ordinary,” “reasonable” and “low end” all being terms we associated with Kia. Yet the car company kept insisting that we give the Sportage a try (no strings attached).

Since then, there have been many variants of the mouse, with most new iterations better than the last. We’ve written before about the surprisingly well-designed Microsoft Arc Mouse. And we love (and always travel with) an Apple Magic Mouse. But somehow every mouse we’ve used also has something about it that doesn’t feel quite right. We couldn’t figure out what exactly that something was until…

Quite like the D&D experience… and I haven’t actually played the tabletop version of Warhammer Quest so I have nothing to compare to, so you’ll have to believe me when I say I’m enjoying the iPad version of the game.  :) Here’s the gist of the tabletop…

    On April 30, 1993, the World Wide Web was born. Today we just call it “the Web”; while other mistakenly call it “the Internet”. The Internet is just the basic tools or platform for delivering the web’s content. (An earlier post stated August 1991 as the birthday, but that version wasn’t publicly accessible. On April 1993, the page was made public.) And on April 20, 1993, the very first web page was published. Here’s a screenshot: To mark the anniversary, CERN has republished that page.

At the Adobe MAX conference in May, the company announced that it was taking its entire suite to the cloud to prevent software piracy and provide updates over the air. The new model also establishes a more stable revenue stream for the company because as it turns out, convincing users to pay for expensive upgrades every few years is difficult.

She was one of six women selected to NASA's 1978 astronaut class of 35 total people, a hugely different female to male ratio than we saw this week with NASA's 2013 group of astronaut candidates, which was half women.

    Smart phones, tablets, and laptops do lots of things well, but providing great sound quality usually isn't one of them. The small speakers in many of these devices produce audio that you could charitably call weak or even tinny. So what do you do if you're sharing tunes with friends or you want to listen to music or enjoy a video without putting on a pair of headphones? For the cheapest, most portable option, you can hook up to a small battery-powered speaker.

We saw several of these "tabletop" models earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show, and we're now testing three models in our labs.

    Nigel
    18 Jun 2013 | 3:30 am
    If product coolness was measured in ice cream, the new Sony Xperia Z 4G Tablet would be a triple choc whipped Sundae, with maraschino cherries, white truffle chunks and lashings of dark Belgian chocolate sprinkles on a bed of silver sugar flecks. Yes it’s that delicious. But before we continue any further, one quick question. What on earth is going on with Sony? Just a mere 24 months ago the company was the laughing stock of [...] 1,259 words | permalink | No comments | digg this continue reading

Obviously you would use a little bit more discretion if you could talk to the person on the other side of the door without having to open it.

  • Stats Wrangling I: Digging into Your Data

    Michael Pick
    18 Jun 2013 | 9:00 am
    Chances are that if you’re running a public facing blog, you’re probably happiest when someone actually reads it. Preferably lots of someones. Your blog’s stats can give you some great ways to get to know a little bit more about your readers, and what it is about your work that most attracts them. While the more liberal artsy types among us might shoo off the idea of obsessively stat trawling as something for the more scientifically inclined, there’s actually something for everyone lurking just beneath the surface, whether that’s inspiration or cold, hard logic.

Facebook's hotly-anticipated video ads are likely delayed yet again -- this time, until the fall. But Facebook sales executives are keen to get the long-awaited product into market and are advocating for the product to be shipped as is and for new features to be added later, according to the source.

We'll start by licensing the GPU core based on the NVIDIA Kepler architecture, the world's most advanced, most efficient GPU. Its DX11, OpenGL 4.3, and GPGPU capabilities, along with vastly superior performance and efficiency, create a new class of licensable GPU cores. Through our efforts designing Tegra into mobile devices, we've gained valuable experience designing for the smallest power envelopes.

No one is really laughing at the concept anymore as smartphones have taken over the top spot on image sharing sites by a wide and ever-growing margin.  It’s become obvious that the camera people use the most is the one they have with them and the one they have with them is embedded in their phone.  It’s no surprise when convenience triumphs in the technology market.

"Data wants to be Free", and most people give it away as if it was. It may want to be free, but it is very valuable. 2. Everyone who can collect it therefore, will collect it. 3.

The first thing that hits me, looking at the chart above, is that some of these are relatively tiny in impact, so its unclear how they will be "disruptive" in any significant way. The other thing that hits me is that three of these tiny ones are new energy sources. This implies a huge discrepancy between the new energy source hype/expectations, and the likely reality.

    18 Jun 2013 | 5:00 pm
    Augmented reality glasses are all the rage these days, because it's just not good enough to see the world through only our human eyes. We want enhanced vision, web connectivity, and complete access to our mobile lives with a blink of an eye. It's therefore no surprise that there are plenty of efforts out there to develop all kinds of AR glasses. Here are just a few examples. Have you been wondering what's inside Google Glass? A teardown of Google's AR glasses revealed: a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, a touchpad module, a TI OMAP4430 processor chip, 16GB of SanDisk flash, an…

  • States Attorneys General Want Special Exception To Blame Sites For Actions Of Users

    Mike Masnick
    18 Jun 2013 | 3:50 pm
    One of the most important laws that has enabled innovation on the internet to thrive is Section 230 of the CDA. We've written about it many times. What it says is fairly basic: a website cannot be held liable for actions by its users. There are a few exceptions and caveats, but that's the basic premise. And it makes perfect common sense -- so much so that it's almost amazing that you need a law to say it. But, we do, because when grandstanding and moral panics come around, politicians and people with pitchforks love to blame third parties and intermediaries as if they're the problem. And,…

  • Google, Without Admitting It Gets FISA Orders, Files Lawsuit To Challenge FISA Gag Orders

    Mike Masnick
    18 Jun 2013 | 3:02 pm
    Google appears to be stepping it up a notch in trying to fight back against the claims that it is somehow opening up its system to the NSA or other law enforcement folks. As you now know well, one of the leaks from Ed Snowden a few weeks ago was about a system called PRISM, which is associated with how tech companies provide information to the federal government in response to FISA court orders. The initial reports, claiming that the NSA had full direct access to servers and could see what people were doing in real time, appear to have been extremely overblown, as it now seems clear that this…

  • NYPD Commissioner Blasts NSA Secret Monitoring For Being Secret

    Timothy Geigner
    18 Jun 2013 | 2:29 pm
    In the wake of the NSA scandal leaks, there have been several examples of government officials and law enforcement coming out to state both that the program is necessary and that its existence ought never have been revealed. Those who espouse the latter often indicate that, as a result, Edward Snowden is some measure of a traitor, and in some cases so are members of the press that reported on the revelations. Not all former and current government folks are in that camp, of course, but those that are not typically argue the polar opposite: that the NSA program is either unconstitutional or…

  • It's Come To This: Commentators Arguing That The Press Commits A Crime In Exposing NSA Surveillance

    Mike Masnick
    18 Jun 2013 | 1:43 pm
    Marc Thiessen, a former speechwriter for President Bush, apparently really hates it when government overreach is exposed. We last mentioned him when he attacked Wikileaks in the aftermath of its publishing of various State Department cables. Now, with the new NSA surveillance scandal, he's back (of course) and taking the lovely position that it's perfectly fine to charge journalists who publish information about NSA surveillance with crimes. Greenwald’s crime is violating 18 USC § 798, which makes it a criminal act to publish classified information revealing government cryptography…

    Fragmentation on Android is an ongoing challenge for developers.

    Over a decade ago, I realized what was happening. All those message boards and web postings of the early internet were starting to be very visible and very tied to my name and what would become “My Online Identity.” I had some aliases at the time in addition to my own name. And I eradicated all traces of all of them. Because at that time in the evolution of the Internet, before the all seeing eye of search engines and bots crawling every link they could reach, you still could make all these online bits disappear. Now, that’s impossible. And I’m quite surprised that…

    One of the best things about Mac OS is the number of keyboard shortcuts it supports.  Keyboard shortcuts are great because you can perform a function right from the keyboard, which will save you a lot of mouse clicks. For example, why should you have to go to the File menu and then search for the option you’re looking for, when you can just use a quick keyboard shortcut that will do the same thing? Even though there are times when you can simply use your mouse, because the option is right there, in most cases a keyboard shortcut will save you time and is more convenient. To help…

    Bowers & Wilkins’s Z2 may not be their Zeppelin Air model, but for nearly half the price you get one fine Airplay / iPhone 5 docking station that seriously impresses for its nimble size. To that effect, the Z2 is small in size but delivers big in sound. This dock fills a room with a rich balanced listening experience. The music emanating out of it is crisp and clear – and that applies to when either an iPhone is docked or an iOS device is streaming to it over Airplay.  Furthermore, the overall footprint of the Z2 is minimal and easily fits into any surrounding.

    We got another nicely designed social sharing widget to show you guys, and it comes from Blogger user named Lokjeeth Singh of BloggingBolt.

So far it currently has buttons for Facebook, Dribbble, Behance, Twitter, and Instagram, but hopefully they’ll have buttons for other social sharing sites as well, such as LinkedIn, Google+, and Digg.

  • Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 is a speed demon, but battery impact remains unknown

    18 Jun 2013 | 5:57 pm
    Your current smartphone’s processor may be fast, but Qualcomm is hoping to show you a whole new definition of mobile performance. On Tuesday, the company staged a benchmarking exhibition in San Francisco to demonstrate the raw speed of its Snapdragon 800 chip, designated for “premium” smartphone deployment later this year. Qualcomm already has a footprint in many of the top handsets. The 400 series of chips is included in both the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, for example. Qualcomm hasn’t announced which phones and tablets will use the 800 series, but, for what it’s worth,…

  • Microsoft Dynamics ERP software now available on the Azure cloud

    18 Jun 2013 | 3:25 pm
    Microsoft is upping the stakes in the growing market for cloud-based ERP, with its Dynamics GP 2013 and NAV 2013 products now available for deployment on its Azure service. The launch, announced Tuesday, gives customers another option for cloud-based ERP (enterprise resource planning) services besides NetSuite, SAP Business ByDesign and others.

  • Icahn acquires larger stake in Dell, proposes new buyout deal

    18 Jun 2013 | 2:54 pm
    Carl Icahn has acquired a larger stake in Dell and called for a better buyout offer than the proposal of $13.65 per share from Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners. Icahn has proposed that Dell commence a tender offer for around 1.1 billion shares at $14 per share, with a maximum value of $16 billion. “Our proposal allows those who believe, like us, that the $13.65 price being offered in the Michael Dell/Silver Lake going private transaction significantly undervalues Dell, to continue to hold Dell shares,” wrote Icahn in an open letter to Dell. Dell announced in February that Michael…

    Michael Pick
    18 Jun 2013 | 9:00 am
    Chances are that if you’re running a public facing blog, you’re probably happiest when someone actually reads it. Preferably lots of someones. Your blog’s stats can give you some great ways to get to know a little bit more about your readers, and what it is about your work that most attracts them. While the more liberal artsy types among us might shoo off the idea of obsessively stat trawling as something for the more scientifically inclined, there’s actually something for everyone lurking just beneath the surface, whether that’s inspiration or cold, hard logic.

    7 Jun 2013 | 6:44 am
    People like fast. Fast cars, fast commutes, fast Internet speeds. What about fast connections to SaaS apps? While this may not seem quite as exciting, being able to quickly connect to your data sources is critical when making business decisions. One way to establish fast connections is through the DataDirect OpenAccess solution, which makes SaaS application data and Cloud data accessible through standards-based APIs. This means that data sources can be accessed through either ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET drivers. Rather than replicating data, OpenAccess exposes a real-time SQL view into the actual…

First up: Why do we need standard-based connectivity? Most SaaS applications like Salesforce.com expose their functionality through the Web interface to allow it to be used from any Web browser from any platform – this is how most users will connect. SaaS applications also expose their data through Web service APIs, which are proprietary APIs unique to each vendor. Salesforce.com has its own, so does…

    Remember the days of bullwhips, fedoras, and grail diaries? It seems they’ve gone the way of the pharaohs. Researchers have uncovered what seems to be the lost city of Mahendraparvata, previously known only from 1200 year old inscriptions. Mahendraparvata, one of the first capitals of the Khmer Empire, was considered lost to history and described in documents dating to 802 A.D. The Cambodian Archaeology and Development Foundation, searching the region of Phnom Kulen near Angkor, used an airborne laser scanning technology known as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The…

  • Popocatepetl Volcano Erupts, Ash Could Reach Mexico City

    18 Jun 2013 | 2:49 pm
    Popocatepetl, the second highest peak in Mexico, has erupted once again and is spewing ash that could reach Mexico City, which is 40 miles away. The volcano shot chunks of rock into nearby towns and witnesses say the smoke and ash plume rose at least four kilometers into the air. Residents may be evacuated if the eruptions continue, but everyone in the area has been on standby since mid-May, when a large eruption was accompanied by two earthquakes. The last big eruption was in 2000, when the volcano showed its most violent display in 1200 years and forced thousands of people to evacuate.

    Back at the end of April, Mars: War Logs was released on PC to mediocre reviews. Critics praised the action RPG’s setting, ideas, and the ambition of developer Spiders, but also panned the game for a poor translation and story issues. In an unusual move, Spiders and publisher Focus Home Interactive took the criticism to heart, and today announced that a new translation of the game has been created. The publisher states that the game was originally written in French, and that the English version of the game “strayed too far” from what the original story and character…

    Hollywood must remake every classic sci-fi film from the 70s and 80s. It’s some kind of unspoken rule or something. Warner Bros. has been trying to do its part with a remake of Logan’s Run, but the project has been stuck in development hell for years. Progress is finally being made on the film, however, with the addition of a new writer. Deadline reports that Ken Levine has been tapped to write the Logan’s Run remake. Gamers may know Levine better as the writer behind games like System Shock 2, Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. Those games share a lot in common with…

  • Taylor Swift’s Feminist Twitter Account Blows Up

    Taylor Swift has taken some flack from feminists in the past for her rather romantic songwriting, but now she’s getting a very different sort of attention. The singer/songwriter is the focus of a parody account on Twitter that was created by a fan and uses variations on her lyrics to send a positive feminist message. Clara Beyer says she’s not making fun of Swift with her posts; rather, she’s taking popular music that she herself likes and giving it a new spin. “I’m not the only one who enjoys her music but feels uncomfortable with some of the messages,” said Beyer.

    Google Adsense recently introduced two larger ad units, the 300×600 and the 970×90, and have also allowed larger ad units to serve similar-sized display ads.

This new feature is targeted to improve publisher performance as well as help advertisers to reach a broader audience. Adsense has now extended this flexibility to their best and most employed 336×280 ad unit, allowing it to serve a 300×250 ad instead.

It usually lasts a couple of hours during which the session moderator does his best to extract intelligent remarks from the human…

      Conventional wisdom and badly reconstructed history can lead to seemingly comfortable but in reality fragile conclusions. Prepare to be confused.  Ever since the Android platform emerged as the only real competitor to Apple’s iOS devices, we’ve been treated to a debate which I’ll oversimplify: If Apple makes all the money but Android gets all the volume, who will win? A cursory survey of tech journals and blogs would lead one to believe that the case is closed: Market Share trumps Profit Share. It always does. So Apple should call it a day? I’m skeptical. Not…

It is also quite interesting that in this era of modern, grunge, jazzy Web 2.0 type fonts Helvetica still survives and not only survives but maintains it’s poise.

  • Does Using Image Sliders Reduce Conversions On A WordPress Site?

    9 Feb 2013 | 7:40 am
    Sliders are an incredibly popular way of displaying content on WordPress homepages. In recent years, it’s been hard to find a WordPress site, especially an eCommerce site, that doesn’t have an image slider or carousel in a prominent position. They are a convenient way of displaying information—offers or products—in a dynamic and visually interesting way, and adhere to the (somewhat dubious) rule that most content should be above the “fold”. As an alternative to visually boring and static blocks of text, sliders are very appealing. However, a recent blog post from…

    Recently, Matt Cutts answered a question sent to him about the future effectiveness of guest blogging. That question is certainly not a new one, as a lot of SEO professionals use guest blogging as an effective link building tool, and have long wondered about how long it will remain effective. What is the most poignant part of this debate is that while there is a link building strategy behind guest blogging, it is also a very legitimate resource. What is important to remember is how to remain effective as a guest blogger to make sure that your efforts aren’t made irrelevant. To do this,…

    MIT chemical engineers have devised a cheaper way to synthesize a key biofuel component, which could make its industrial production much more cost-effective. The compound, known as gamma-valerolactone (GVL), is attractive because of its versatility, says Yuriy Román, an assistant professor of chemical engineering and leader of the research team. It has more energy than ethanol and could be used on its own or as an additive to other fuels. GVL could also be useful as a “green” solvent or a building block for creating renewable polymers from sustainable materials.read more

    Due to the fluctuating availability of solar energy, storage solutions are urgently needed. One option is to use the electrical energy generated inside solar cells to split water by means of electrolysis, in the process yielding hydrogen that can be used for a storable fuel. Researchers at the HZB Institute for Solar Fuels have modified so called superstrate solar cells with their highly efficient architecture in order to obtain hydrogen from water with the help of suitable catalysts. This type of cell works something like an "artificial leaf." read more

    18 Jun 2013 | 3:00 am
    The experience level of MIT volunteers differ. Some are MIT10 grads lending a hand for the first time. Others are committed volunteers who have served for decades. Regardless of one’s depth of involvement, the 2013 Alumni Leadership Conference is the ideal chance to become an even more effective and engaged Institute ambassador. Registration is now open for ALC 2013 and runs through Sept. 20. ALC 2012 will be held on campus Sept. 27-28. Last year’s conference coincided with the inauguration of L. Rafael Reif as MIT’s 17th president. This year’s conference aims to be just as memorable.

    What if you could deliver power to villages after a tsunami or earthquake by shooting lasers from a drone? Or circulate small drones above a festival site so people could recharge their cell phone batteries from them? Panelists react to a question from moderator John Castle, right. Four MIT alumni posed these questions, and several others, to each other and to over 100 attendees at last week’s View from the Top event, held at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center. The June 13 panel brought together five alumni from different decades and disciplines for “Reinventing the World,” a…

    Professor Patrick Henry Winston ’65, SM ’67, PhD ’70 It was a year with a hurricane up front and a deluge at the end. I asked a lot of graduating students if the ceremony should have been moved inside. One student, a typical one, said with steel in his eye, “Are you kidding, it’s was part of the MIT experience.” I saw the point. After surviving humiliating exams, endless problem sets, projects that wouldn’t get done, and countless all nighters, a downpour on commencement just added a bit of zest. Anyway, President Reif’s speech was not to be missed. He was cosmic,…

Kotter opened his keynote speech at the Association of Independent Living Groups (AILG) Annual Meeting by describing Mandela’s impact as a leader; Kotter credited that success in part to Mandela’s close friendship and collaboration with his political mentor, Walter Sisulu.

    While it has been keeping shtum on the subject of a possible iWatch, Apple has done nothing to allay the rumours by registering for the iWatch trademark in Russia. The less than stealthy effort has pretty much got everyone gossiping about the prospect of a wrist-based workstation once again (check out our earlier article on the smartwatch story). With evidence of the latter steadily mounting, CEO Tim Cook’s refusal to answer any questions about Apple’s voyage into wearable tech at a recent interview hasn’t exactly helped diffuse things. In fact, his stand-out comment that the area is…

  • PS4 Is Games Console ‘First And Foremost’: Kaz Hirai Digs At Xbox One

    31 May 2013 | 3:58 pm
    Yesterday’s D11 Conference saw Sony boss Kaz Hirai tell it how it is; explaining to the world that the PlayStation 4 is “first and foremost” a games console. Why state the glaringly obvious? Since the Xbox One reveal, Microsoft has received much criticism over how the one-hour video set focused disproportionately on television interactivity. The deprecation has a lot to do with how under-addressed  the gaming functionality of the new console was; with many feeling that the original game-playing audience had been swiped aside in favour of the mainstream revelation of an…

    William Judd
    6 Jun 2013 | 5:28 am
    A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a way of adding malicious applications to iOS devices through the use of a modified charger. The charger, which will be demonstrated at the Black Hat security conference late next month, uses a credit card size computer to send its payload within sixty seconds of being plugged into a new device. The hack requires no user interaction or jailbreak to be in place. As it bypasses Apple’s typical defenses against malicious applications being installed via its unusual attack vector, this attack could be particularly…

This year, the keynote was widely expected to yield another new Nexus and a new version of Android, but neither appeared. Despite this, the three and half hour keynote was riveting, with plenty of updates across Google’s wide range of apps and services.

  • Roll in, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3

    William Judd
    1 May 2013 | 6:43 am
    Samsung’s tablets are generally uninspiring, which may be why they haven’t seen the monumental sales of their smartphones. The Galaxy Tab 3 looks set to continue that trend, offering up a 7″ display and low-end specifications. The big draw is that it looks like a giant Samsung Galaxy S4, which is quite a feat considering the size of the S4. Let’s take a closer look and see if there are any features beneath the surface that make this tablet a worthy contender for your hard-won monies. Hardware As I mentioned above, the Galaxy Tab 3 is pretty weak when it comes to…

Specifically, you’re only intended to install Home if you’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S3, a Galaxy Note II, an HTC One X, One X+ or First. This being Android, there are…

    Who can watch the PRISM fiasco and NOT wonder about its impact on public Cloud computing? If the government can monitor your phone calls, it can certainly force SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS vendors to provide access to your financials, your sales records, your data, and anything else you do or store “in the Cloud”.  And while you probably don’t have anything to hide, do you really want a government contractor (http://bit.ly/16WdkvJ) mucking around with your company’s most critical business asset—your data?

  • Maybe We Should Call It The “Pre-Post-PC” Era?

    Steve Brasen
    6 Jun 2013 | 8:48 am
    IT marketing hype has generated quite a few ridiculous and sometimes outright bizarre phrases to describe trends in technology adoption, but few on the list of the absurd top the insistence that we live in a “post-PC” era.  The concept of “post-PC” derives from the (correct) fact that mobile device adoption has broadly accelerated, but makes the incorrect assumption that this is causing a substantial decrease in PC use.  Nothing could be further from the truth – especially in relation to the business use of desktop and laptop PCs. In the recently released EMA Research Report on…

    We finally had a codeforces round that went smooth and rated. :) Past two rounds that I participated in, both had something going wrong with it, and ended up unrated. DIV-2 Problem A; Ilya and Bank Account: You are given an integer N, and you are allowed to drop its last digit, or second last digit, to create an integer with greater value. If N is greater then 0, dropping allowed digits can not increase its value. If it is smaller then 0, dropping one of the allowed digit will give you the largest possible integer.n = raw_input() n1 = n[:-1] n2 = n[:-2]+n[-1] n = int(n) n1 = int(n1) n2 =…

  • Topcoder SRM 580; The one that made me feel stupid

    Shuaib
    27 May 2013 | 5:04 am
    So my second SRM with me being in DIV-1. And yet again I dropped to DIV-2. I focused on just the easy problem, and it *was* easy, but needed a bit clarity in thought. Alas I couldn’t solve it. Though my thought process was on the right lines, but not good enough. DIV-1 Easy; EelAndRabbit: You can choose any two time instants, on which your rabbit can capture all fish right infront of him (having any part coincide with the “x” position on which rabbit is standing). All fish move with same speed. Thus their formation will be same at any given moment in time. Thus you can…

    And one more time I enter the DIV-1 class with a good performance in this SRM. I was able to very quickly solve the easy one, implement a clear solution for the medium, and devised a correct solution to hard problem, though I couldn’t finish implementing it in time during the contest. Later in practice I confirmed that my solution was correct.

  • SPOJ; The Next Palindrome

    Shuaib
    18 Apr 2013 | 12:55 am
    This problem asks for next integer that is also a palindrome, after a given integer. A naive approach would be to start iterating over integers after the given one, and see if you hit a palindrome. Whenever you do, that is your answer. But the problem is that given input can have 1000000 digits. Iterating over integers that big to find a palindrome is going to take eons, besides the fact that you can’t even represent that big a number with a primitive type. Solution: We are going to use string operations to generate next palindrome. Notice that a palindrome is identified by its left…

  • Microsoft updates their social network, So.cl – a few of us notice

    If you have never heard of Microsoft’s social network, So.cl, we aren’t surprised. The service launched back in December 2011 and was a private beta for students of the University of Washington, Syracuse University, and New York University. Currently, the site is open to all users, but Microsoft keeps So.cl on the down low. So.cl is a truly unique experience which tries to mix Bing with social networking. The site can be described as a mixture between pinterest and tumblr; it is currently being run by Microsoft’s research division.     

  • Huawei gets brazen, says it would buy Nokia, finds Windows Phone too expensive [Update]

    Daniel Rubino
    18 Jun 2013 | 1:20 pm
    File this under “Did they just say that?” In an interview with the Financial Times, Richard Yu, chairman of Huawei's consumer business group, said that the company would be open to buying Nokia to boost their smartphone sales, especially in non-Asian markets where the Chinese OEM is still facing some challenges. Cnet interprets some of Yu's comments as suggesting that if Huawei were to buy Nokia, Windows Phone itself may be up for reconsideration. The reason is price: Windows Phone still has a license fee, whereas Android is "free". We're not confident that Huawei would do such a thing,…

  • 6 reasons why entrepreneurs won’t profit from more subsidies

    Alek Jankowski
    28 May 2013 | 2:28 am
    Entrepreneurs always need money, on the other hand the availability of public funded money might kill the real entrepreneurship as well. Real entrepreneurship starts in “survival mode”, having just enough money to build your solution and not to starve. Anyhow, the European Union tries to stimulate clever investments. But the whole system to manage this is becoming rather inefficient. Have you heard of a Project “Intelligent development of Poland 2014-2020”? We’d rather call it, “Lets add layers and layers of regulations on top of old regulations in order to spend more money on the…

  • Express names in code: Bad vs Clean

    Mateusz Roszczak
    17 May 2013 | 1:02 am
    Beginner programmers always spend a lot of time on learning a programming language, code syntax, technology and tools. They think, if  they master the craft of technologies, they will become good programmers. However, object programming is not about mastering the tools, it is about creating a solution to a problem in a particular domain and to do it in cooperation with other programmers. Therefore, it is very important to express your thoughts in code precisely and in a result to be understood by other people. Let’s start with a great quote by the Clean Code guru, Robert C.

But fancy keywords aside, are you sure you know how to use it to reap all the benefits? Let’s have a look at a couple of tips on how you can use DI to help you write high quality code. Always default to Constructor Injection DI comes in many flavors, including: Constructor Injection, Property Injection (aka Setter Injection), Interface Injection.

  • 6 more things C# developers should (not) do

    For all wondering what are the things a C# developer should and should not do. As the continuation of my previous post 8 Most common mistakes C# developers make I decided to write another article about the things C# developers should always be aware of. 1. Try to avoid using the “ref” and “out” keywords. There is rarely a situation that you really have to use “ref” or “out” keywords. It should be avoided as much as possible, because when you use them it means that your method probably tries to do too much (and therefore breaks the Single Responsibility…

  • Top 9 qualities of clean code

    Pawel Bejger
    21 Jan 2013 | 12:34 am
    How often do you express your disbelief when browsing through someone’s code saying out loud “Omg, that’s real spaghetti code…” ? Probably quite often. And how sure are you that no one thought the same when working with your code? In other words, how sure are you that your code is clean? The truth is that you can only be sure if you fully know what clean code means. It is hard to create a precise definition of clean code and probably there are as many definitions as developers. However, some principles that lead to a basic level of clean code apply. I have gathered the 9…

    An important part of the Hy! show in Berlin on Sunday 2 June was the startup competition. European startups were invited to send their pitch. From the applications five companies were chosen to pitch their solution to convince the jury they would make best use of the € 30.000 and Hub:raum support. Some pitches were really great, but most of them were not clearly following the regular pitching guidelines which irritated at least some jury members. What lessons can we learn from this?

I noticed that the students were especially interested in the exact role definitions of a Scrum team. The entrepreneurs among the audience wanted to know how they could perform “market research” best and how they could gain client feedback at an early stage to prevent they are developing the wrong solution. All these topics and more were covered. The presentation is available on Slideshare. Related…

  • The launch of the Gdansk OpenCoffee Meetup

    Peter Horsten
    4 Jun 2013 | 4:06 pm
    We know there are many entrepreneurs in Gdansk and we also know that we meet each other too little. The main causes are the lack of a centralised event agenda and a fixed time/place to meet with like-minded people. The launch of GENE, the Gdansk Entrepreneurial Network, is an effort to make this situation change. You can sign up for GENE, it’s free and without any obligations. We want to open up the entrepreneurial activity in Gdansk towards each other, but may be even more important to the international visitors (potential investors?). The centralised agenda we are realizing with…

    This morning while drinking a diet coke and trying to fully wake up, I was browsing the tech section of Google News and stumbled upon an article regarding Adobe’s new Creative Cloud. To summarize, the article discussed how unhappy Adobe customers are, about moving from a buy-once license that never expires to a subscription model. This comes after last week’s Xbox One announcement and the subsequent rumors about the lack of used-game support. It seems like there are quite a few software companies that are pissing off their user-base. Why is this happening, and is it all related? The sad…

  • Reader Question: Copying WordPerfect footnotes to Microsoft Word

    The Guru
    6 Jun 2013 | 6:00 am
    You know how I'm always telling you that the best way to get your old WordPerfect text into a new Microsoft Word document is to just copy it over? Well, that's not always the case. Sometimes Microsoft Word doesn't "translate" WordPerfect text into just the right Microsoft Word equivalent. A reader pointed out that doing a straight copy of WordPerfect footnotes into Word makes the numbering sequence go all wonky. Click the title above to find out how to copy those footnotes so you don't spend forever fixing them. (Oh, and look at the very bottom of the tutorial. You'll see a section that says…

    Last week, my guest post at Lawyerist gathered together some of the news coverage surrounding Microsoft's release of Office 2013 (a.k.a. Office 15), including Bloomberg Businessweek's interview with Steve Ballmer in which he responded, "I'm not going to talk about that" when asked when Microsoft would add an iPad app to Office. The response was staggering — over 100 comments (so far), with what could politely be referred to as a diversity of opinion. Within a couple of hours of publication, the editor at Lawyerist reported that traffic to the site (and to my post) was going through the…

    You will definitely love the Wi-Fi feature of your iPhone but it happens that sometimes it keeps disconnecting unexpectedly every now and then. It’s like your handset is not able to remain connected for a long period of time. And as a result your device ends up switching from Wi-Fi to cellular connection. In other words you end up getting charged when opening a page on your phone. This can be quite annoying especially if you already have a Wi-Fi at home.

  • Why you should unlock your iPhone

    Loic Cobbina

    Unlocking your iPhone is removing all the restrictions that your carrier may have imposed on it. The truth about phone carriers is that they offer iPhones at an extremely affordable price to attract users. But as part of the deal the user will have to use the handset for a certain period of time, usually 2 years. This implies that if you sign for any of those deals you will not be able to use any other network’s SIM card on the iPhone. The problem is iPhones are quite expensive gadgets and not everybody can afford to buy one for each carrier he wants to try. Each phone network may offer…

I have had the headphones for about a week now and I must say that I like the a lot. One of the first thing I noticed was how light-weight they are compared to other headphones, only 105g is not much for a quality headset in this league. Normally I would say that you can’t get any quality sound of a set of headset that light-weight, but I must admit that the sound this headset delivers is really good. The…

We first reported about flipkart’s launch of flyte digital music store in February 2012 and since then, flyte grew up to a catalogue of 15 million songs making it the largest store for digital music in India. According to flipkart, the reason for closing down flyte digital music service is the prevalent music piracy in India and lack of easy micro payments.

  • Invert – After Effects Spotlight

    Alex Damon
    31 May 2013 | 1:48 pm
    The Invert effect inverts the color information of an image. There are only two properties you can edit. The first is the Channel dropdown. This determines which channel or channels to invert. By default the effect inverts everything in the image. Black becomes white and so on. First let’s look at RGB, Red, Green and Blue. RGB inverts all three of the color channels together, but you can also invert an individual color channel if you want. HLS stands for Hue, Lightness, and Saturation. HLS will invert all three, or you can invert them each separately. YIQ inverts all three NTSC…

    Dave Paul
    24 May 2013 | 8:24 am
    While the wheels of justice may move too slowly for some, updates to the standard Webster’s New World Dictionary are slower still. Court cases that involve nonstandard or insulting language often reveal a language barrier of sorts. The more conventional dictionaries in existence are not designed to keep up with the spoken word, often meaning that slang and other colloquialisms will not be found in standard print form. The result is that many lawyers and judges are relying on online sources such as Urban Dictionary to determine the more flexible meanings of some current slang words. This…

It is similar to the Tint effect, except with the addition of midtone control. Apply the Tritone effect by selecting Effect, Color Correction, Tritone. The default gives your footage a kind of sepia look, as the midtones are mapped to brown. Highlights are mapped to white and shadows are mapped to black.

  • Google Wants The Government To Lift Its Gag Order On Surveillance Requests (GOOG)

    Julie Bort
    18 Jun 2013 | 5:24 pm
    Google has prided itself on being transparent about government snooping requests. It produces an ongoing Transparency Report that documents how many government requests it gets. That's fine for censorship requests, when governments make Google remove links to websites, or criminal investigations. But the government has forbidden it to say much about snooping done in the name of national security. In light of the public uproar over how much data the government is collecting, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo struck deals last week with the government that let them talk about how many…

PCSuperStore was the one of the retailer sites selling the FX-9000 series, though the page seems to be taken down.

  • On Manila as the gates of hell

    4 Jun 2013 | 8:51 pm
    I take Dan Brown’s description of Manila as the gates of hell in his latest book ‘Inferno’ with an open mind. Ironically, he writes fiction but the description of Manila was quite close to reality. Just be stuck in traffic at rush hour in most major streets like Taft Avenue or EDSA and you’d find it hard to disagree with the ‘Angels & Demons’ author. Besides, it wasn’t the first time Manila was featured in a famous work from the US. In the latest installment of the Bourne franchise where the last 40 minutes of the movie was spent in various…

There’s no doubt that his wit and humor has contributed immensely to his fame. However, the latest controversy he’s in right now just goes to prove that no matter what your celebrity status is, you’re still prone to making mistakes. It all started when he made a joke about rape and Jessica Soho in his sold-out concert last May 17: Ang hirap nga lang kung si Jessica Soho magbo-bold. Kailangan gang rape lagi.

    A lot of search engine optimization professionals are incorporating PR tactics into their optimization strategies these days, and there’s a very good reason for this trend: the search engines are placing premiums on authentic earned media.

  • How Detailed Should Requirements Be? (Part 1)

    Karl Wiegers
    17 Jun 2013 | 1:36 am
    Recently I was chatting at a wine tasting event with a couple of lawyers, who I had just met. One was surprisingly inquisitive about my work in the software requirements arena. Apparently she was working on case involving software at that very time. At one point she asked me, “How do you know how detailed to make the requirements?” It’s an insightful question, one that even experienced business analysts often ask me. There’s no single correct answer to this question, even assuming we could agree on exactly how to measure requirements “detail.” This is one of those thorny issues…

This makes it hard to know just when you can declare your set of requirements—whether for the full product or just the next iteration—complete. Even though you can’t know for sure if you’re done, at some point you need to define a requirements baseline and move ahead with the project work. In this article, adapted from my book Software Requirements, 2nd Edition, I propose several techniques for helping you find requirements you might have overlooked, as well as some ways…
