    This is the best gaming/controller/mobile device solution I’ve ever seen. I would be tempted to get an Android smartphone just to do this! Check it out: GameKlip Can't see the video in your RSS reader or email? Click Here! Oh, snap! For only about $20 (and a PS3 controller), you can rock your Android as a serious gaming device. I love it! Best of all, the inventor of GameKlip is a really cool guy: Ryan French is a student at the University of Washington is majoring in Applied Computational Math Science, but has always enjoyed tinkering and building things.

    Because moths need to use every little bit of light available in order to see in the dark, their eyes are highly non-reflective. This quality has been copied in a film that can be applied to solar cells, which helps keep sunlight from being reflecting off of them before it can be utilized. Now, a new moth eye-inspired film may further help solar cells become more efficient. ..

    NASA’s first asteroid sample return mission took a step closer to reality on Wednesday, as the OSIRIS-REx project was cleared for development and testing. Scheduled to launch in 2016, the mission passed a series of detailed project assessments and now goes on to the development phase.

  • Google's Flirtation With Being A Hardware Company Is Over

    17 May 2013 | 2:03 pm
    A year ago, I left Google's annual I/O developers conference convinced it was making a major strategic shift into being a hardware company. As this year's I/O wraps up, I'm left questioning that conclusion. The message Google is putting forward in 2013 is very different: It's all about what developers can do with the software tools it provides, whether that means broad digital platforms like the Chrome Web browser and the Android mobile operating system, or fungible, ubiquitous services like Google+, YouTube and Google Maps. A Retreat From Hardware In 2012, the keynote offered a drumbeat of…

  • App Not Working? It Might Be Time To Check The 'Weather'

    17 May 2013 | 1:04 pm
    If you've ever used the Internet — and you know who you are — you've undoubtedly had apps or various services stop working unexpectedly. For ordinary users, this usually just means no access to Twitter or Gmail for a while. But for developers, whose apps and services rely increasingly heavily on hooks into popular Web services, the problem can be far more complicated. That's because modern Web services (and the apps that facilitate them) can fail for a variety of reasons. One of the most common problems arises when some other service has gone down — more specifically, when the…

  • Google: Please Fix The Crippling Problem Plaguing Google+

    17 May 2013 | 11:10 am
    Google+ has never looked and felt as it good as it does right now. Alas, looks aren't everything. A massive overhaul of the service, announced Wednesday during a keynote at Google's I/O conference for developers, has brought it in line with the most modern and functionally powerful Web design principles. It now has a multi-column layout, scrolling menu bars, and enormous images. Google also rolled out an umbrella messaging service called Hangouts, a standalone app for Web and mobile that neatens up the sloppy mess that was Voice, Talk, and Google+ messaging.   All of this is great news…

    Marc Benioff, Salesforce.com's hyperbolic CEO, has been telling anyone who will listen that the "sudden convergence of cloud, social and mobile spheres" is forcing - and allowing - companies to connect with customers in new ways, and to listen with an intensity never before possible. I'm sure the benefits of social business are dramatic and undeniable, but am I alone in being totally creeped out at what seems to be an obvious invastion of privacy? I don't know about you, but I'm just not ready for companies - even companies I choose to do business with - to closely follow everything I do and…

  • Maybe the Point of Chromebooks Isn’t Chromebooks

    Harry McCracken
    16 May 2013 | 1:40 pm
    Here at Google’s I/O conference, it’s safe to say that many attendees entered yesterday morning’s keynote expecting that it would involve the announcement of at least one or two major new gadgets. It didn’t, unless you count the pure-Android version of Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 that Google will begin selling on June 26. And the one gadget which was doled out to attendees, the Chromebook Pixel, wasn’t an I/O debutante: it was announced back in February. Some of the folks I chatted with after the keynote were disappointed by its lack of gadgetry. I wasn’t.

    Google likes to use the word “beautiful” a lot when describing its own products. That would be grating if it weren’t for one fact: more and more, the company is building beautiful stuff. And I’m not sure if it’s ever built anything more beautiful than the new version of its Google+ social network which debuted on Wednesday during the Google I/O keynote. The service, which was already pretty darn slick, is now among the most attractive and engaging web apps I’ve ever seen. Streams of activity are now laid out as one, two or three columns of tiles, depending…

(I wrote about that experience here.) Singhal in particular waxed enthusiastic about the possibility of building something as smart, helpful and effortless as Star Trek’s computer. The whole thing might have sounded pie-in-sky and unrealistic if it weren’t for the fact that the current versions of Google’s search app for Android and iOS have already taken meaningful steps in that…

  • Square’s Second Hardware Product: A Decidedly Square-esque Cash Register

    Back in February, innovative payment-processing startup Square introduced Business in a Box, a bundle which turned an iPad into a cash register. It included a third-party stand and a third-party cash drawer; it looked really useful, but I was a bit surprised that a company as interested in controlling its user experience was willing to outsource so much of it to existing products designed by other companies. Turns out that Business in a Box was a stopgap. At an event at San Francisco‘s Blue Bottle Coffee this morning, the company introduced Square Stand, a $299 iPad-as-cash-register…

  • Peer-to-peer vacation rentals disrupt travel business big time

Put aside Google for a moment (but only for a scintilla of a second), it is coming. The buzz of the moment is “peer-to-peer rental marketplace,” where travelers do deals directly with the owners of small hotels, private homes, a couch in an extra room and even, in one instance, a child’s playhouse in the back yard. Years ago the web created new opportunities for mom and pop hotels and condo owners that had been off-the-grid of the traditional travel…

    17 May 2013 | 3:48 pm
    First time accepted submitter iinventstuff writes "The Idaho National Laboratory has built a dirty bomb detection network out of cell phones. Camera phones operate by detecting photons and storing them as a picture. The INL discovered that high energy photons from radiological sources distort the image in ways detectable through image processing. KSL TV reports that the INL's mobile app detects radiation sources and then reports positive 'hits' to a central server. Terrorists deploying a dirty bomb will inevitably pass by people carrying cell phones. By crowdsourcing cell phones, the INL has…

  • Microsoft is Missing Apps the Same Way They Missed the Early Internet

    Ben Bajarin
    17 May 2013 | 1:00 am
    It seems odd to me that Microsoft of all companies is so drastically behind the curve when it comes to apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone. When you think about it, Microsoft of all companies was in the best position to create a better software buying experience, via an app store than anyone. Windows had 97 to 98 percent market share for the bulk of the PC era and software played a key role in that dominance. Why was there no Windows app store until the end of last year?1 It just makes no sense. 
Similarly, Microsoft was in a growing position in smartphones with Windows Mobile. They had…

    Yesterday, Google held its I/O keynote address. Ben Thompson of “stratēchery” has written an excellent article entitled: THE ANDROID DETOUR. I highly encourage you to take the time to read it. I’m going to re-state and build upon his thoughts here. 1) In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone. Google’s then CEO, Eric Schmidt was a member of Apple’s board and an honored guest at the iPhone presentation. It appeared that all was right with the worlds of Apple and Google – Apple was going to do its hardware thing and Google was going to do its services thing and a…

  • A Significant Product Differentiation

    Ben Bajarin
    15 May 2013 | 2:14 pm
    Philip Elmer-DeWitt is calling him the man who figures Apple is worth $240 a share. I read his blog post and dove into his theory of ROIC. Something he said stood out to me. Without significant product differentiation, Apple cannot maintain the ultra high profit margins and ROICs. I don’t know about David, but I consider iOS a significant differentiation. I believe in Apple the company. It is just becoming harder to believe in Apple the stock.

  • Trouble in the Cloud: Lessons from AP and Bloomberg

    Steve Wildstrom
    15 May 2013 | 4:22 am
    Its been a bad week for the cloud. Businesses of all sizes are under a lot of pressure to save money by moving IT operations into the cloud. for many companies, it can be a lot cheaper and more efficient to pay someone else to manage your email, storage, and servers  and provide other IT services than to do it yourself. But the disclosure of of phone surveillance of the Associated Press by the U.S. Justice Dept. and snooping on customer activities by Bloomberg News reporters, neither of which has anything obvious to do with cloud computing, might give you some pause about trusting your data…

    Tumblr feels that Yahoo’s $1.1 billion offer as “too low” and view it as “only a first offer”, according to sources close to to acquisition talks. Yahoo may have to significantly increase the offer to close the deal. An acquisition by some tech giant is likely in the cards for Tumblr, though, as sources say the company only has a few months of cash runway left.

Taxi Commission could severely hamper the company’s ability to offer low-cost services in the district. Last December, the D.C. City Council voted to approve a legal framework that legitimized mobile e-hail applications there, as long as those applications followed certain rules.

As I walked through the food court, there were many options including burgers, sushi, pizza, and a Chinese restaurant that looked like the food was quite tasty. 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,…

    Plenty of people rightly mocked the news a few years ago that the Associated Press was working on a plan to "DRM the news." The idea was to put some sort of licensing mechanism together to get news aggregators to pay to promote their news. This seemed incredibly dumb for a whole host of reasons. It added no value. Its only purpose was to limit the value for everyone in the system by putting a tollbooth where none needed to exist.

    As the Supreme Court of the U.S. starts to weigh in on whether or not Proposition 8, a ban against gay marriage in California, is legal, social media is buzzing and changing color with streams of red equal sign logos. My Facebook timeline Human Rights Campaign, an organization devoted to supporting lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender rights, is encouraging others to use its logo and share its photos on social media sites to spread the word about the Supreme Court proceedings. My Facebook timeline has a sea of red logos. Local activist Lucas Zucker made this comment on his Facebook…

  • Report: Yahoo eager to close $1.1 billion cash deal for Tumblr by Sunday evening

    Tom Krazit
    17 May 2013 | 5:25 pm
    Tumblr’s fate could be decided Sunday by Yahoo’s board of directors. AllThingsD reported late Friday that Yahoo is closing in on a $1.1 billion deal for the site, moving quickly to cement what would be the biggest deal of CEO Marissa Mayer’s tenure at the venerable but lackluster internet pioneer. After reporting Thursday that Yahoo was considering a number of options for Tumblr, including partnerships or strategic investments, ATD reported Friday that Mayer had decided to go all in. Om reported Thursday that Yahoo was worried about counteroffers from Facebook, much how…

    Toward the tail end of Google I/O on Friday, Sunil James, a Google product manager (on left in picture), and John Cormie, a software engineer focusing on networking for Google Compute Engine (GCE), showed off new network capabilities for GCE that can enable hybrid clouds running between GCE deployments and on-premise data centers. GCE customers are now able to do things like establish virtual private Layer 3 networks and assign static public IP addresses to instances, James said. Connecting networks will also become possible. And a load-balancing service is on the way “as part of the…

    Data analytics star Tableau had a successful initial public offering on Friday, closing the day up nearly 64 percent at $50.75 per share. That means the company brought in about $254 million (it sold 5 million shares, while stockholders sold 3.4 million) and has a market cap of $2.9 billion. Shares have remained relatively steady in after-hours trading, trending down only slightly. “We’re thrilled,” Tableau co-founder and CEO Christian Chabot told me during a call after the market closed. One should hope so. Chabot and his fellow co-founders stand to make a lot of money if…

    Stitcher just announced a new car mode for its iPhone app, bringing a simplified interface that works in both portrait and landscape positions. Accessible by tapping the Stitcher logo at the top of the screen, car mode offers a pared-down version of the app's standard UI, with bigger buttons and only the essential audio controls. It's nowhere near as flashy as Stitcher's BMW integration, mind you, but the point is to keep your eyes on the road and off your iPhone's screen. The app gets a few other updates this time around: a front page with top headlines, one-tap access to shows and podcasts…

  • University of Glasgow makes 3D models with single-pixel sensors, skips the cameras (video)

    Jon Fingas
    17 May 2013 | 8:52 pm
    Most approaches to capturing 3D models of real-world objects involve multiple cameras that are rarely cheap, and are sometimes tricky to calibrate. The University of Glasgow has developed a method that ditches those cameras altogether. Its system has four single-pixel sensors stitching together a 3D image based on the reflected intensity of light patterns cast by a projector. Reducing the pixel count lowers the cost per sensor to just a few dollars, and extends the sensitivity as far as terahertz wavelengths. Real-world products are still a long way off, but the university sees its invention…

  • Twitter partners with NBA to highlight in-game replays, Blake Griffin posterizations

    In all honesty, Blake Griffin himself could start a social network that served no purpose outside of featuring his dizzying (and disgusting, if you will) array of dunks, and it'd probably go over quite well. Instead, he -- along with other superstars in the National Basketball Association -- will soon see replays of in-game highlights making waves across Twitter in more official fashion. Hot on the heels of a deal between ESPN and Twitter comes this: a partnership between the NBA and the aforesaid social network that'll get video highlights to the world while the game is still ongoing.

In light of the the platform's first major software update rolling out to its devices, we asked about the plans for future releases. Bhardwaj told us that the plan is for them to come at a regular cadence of one major code update per year, with other, incremental updates for specific devices sprinkled in as needed. A particular focus is to do so while delivering devs fully realized hardware and to avoid fragmentation in the code base -- making it easier to create BB10…

The first, from Bloomberg, concerns the event specifically and cites a "person familiar with the matter" reporting we'll hear about new updates for Yahoo's once-mighty Flickr photo service. The second is from AllThingsD which has upgraded rumors of a Tumblr purchase from possible to possibly imminent, saying the company's board will meet Sunday to decide whether it will make a $1.1 billion all-cash offer for the site.

  • How the mighty have fallen: Nokia’s struggles, put in perspective

    17 May 2013 | 7:15 pm
    In one point in time, Nokia was the top-selling smartphone vendor in the world by a wide margin. It wasn’t even that long ago, in fact. But when Nokia failed to respond quickly enough to the industry’s shift toward touch, the Finnish giant lost its footing and toppled spectacularly. Just how bad have things gotten for Nokia? Market share numbers paint a pretty frightening picture, but a single tweet from Benedict Evans of Enders Analysis might do an even better job of putting things in perspective. In the past two years since Nokia announced that it was switching to Windows Phone as its…

  • Yahoo to vote on $1.1 billion Tumblr buy: AllThingsD

    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc's board will meet on Sunday to vote on whether to offer $1.1 billion in cash for New York-based blogging service Tumblr, tech blog AllThingsD cited sources close to the situation as saying on Friday. Such an acquisition would be CEO Marissa Mayer's largest deal since taking the helm of the once-iconic Internet company in July 2012. Yahoo is keen on Tumblr because its younger user base would enhance the older website's "cool factor," the technology blog cited the sources as saying.

    Oh HTC. You’ve produced one of the finest Android smartphones ever (seriously, just look at all these reviews), but you’ve faced more than your share of challenges when it came to actually pumping your top-tier One smartphone. As it happens, that may all soon change. FocusTaiwan reported earlier today that HTC is preparing to pump out more of its wonderful Ones in short order — Jack Tong, the company’s North Asia president, noted that this month’s production capacity for the flagship device is twice that of April, and that surge will only continue into June.

    NVIDIA brought its new Shield handheld gaming system to Google I/O this year and showed off a near-production device. The Shield made its debut at CES this year, surprising most since it’s a consumer handheld device from a company that generally makes internal components. But it has some neat tricks up its sleeve, including a Tegra 4 chipset, 2GB of RAM, a 5-inch 720p display and 16GB of internal storage. The Shield units available at I/O this week were all running Android and showing off Android games with hardware controller support, and none were demoing the PC game streaming that…

Microsoft chose to discard the Start button in favor of a new look designed to tie together the PC, tablet, and, smartphone experience," Johnson wrote.

There was no Skeletor equivalent though, until now. The life-sized Skeletor replica is molded and sculpted based on the dimensions of the action figure.

With Copy, you keep your files in sync across devices and get a web interface with easy sharing (including mobile devices,) similar to what you get with Dropbox. However, it differs in a couple of key areas that make Copy seem like a much better offering: When you share files with other Copy users, that space isn't docked from both accounts. With Dropbox, if you share a 1GB file, both you and the person you share with now have 1GB less storage space. When you sign up for Copy,…

    Resumen en español al final del artículo Ever since it introduced the Android-based Walmart XO Tablet at CES 2013 in early January OLPC Association has been remarkably quiet about it. The official Web site at xo-learning.org still looks like it was put together in a rush on a Friday evening, the blog on the site hasn't seen any updates since late January, and the anticipated launch-month of March went by without a single word from OLPC Association. Only the @xolearning Twitter account has regularly tweeted but it's been fairly generic chatter. This lack of updates, combined with OLPC's…

  • ‡ “Free Trials and Tire Kickers”

    Kyle Baxter
    10 May 2013 | 1:47 pm
    Marco Arment argues that free trials with higher-priced applications in the App Store would undermine people’s tendency to try out a number of applications even if they don’t use them long-term because they’re so affordable: If the App Store mostly moved to higher purchase prices with trials, rather than today’s low purchase prices and no trials, this pattern would almost completely disappear. Instead, we’d get the free trials for almost everything, and then we’d only end up paying for the one that we liked best, or the cheapest one that solved the need, or maybe none…

    Liat Ben-Zur: So what’s the problem? Aren’t all these hot new connected IoT devices connected up to the cloud? Well, that’s the problem. We are oversimplifying the landscape. Each specific device seems to connect to its particular cloud service. There isn’t really one cloud. Every manufacturer has their own cloud service, and often these clouds are closed, proprietary environments. Devices that live in their own siloed cloud cannot speak to one another, meaning they cannot benefit from the data, context or control of nearby IoT devices. That is why we currently need a separate app to…

The ad shows us how essential our phones have become, enabling us to capture the people, places and images we don’t want to forget. What’s powerful about this ad to me is that it’s just people living, experiencing and enjoying little moments and big moments, and the iPhone is just there to capture some of it. Not to be front-and-center, not to be the focus of attention—just to snap a…

    A darling of NASA and of the general public, the Kepler Space Telescopes, dedicated to looking at extra-solar planets, may be soon ending its run. A recent hardware failure on the Kepler has led experts to give Kepler just one more year. Artist’s rendition of Kepler Space Telescope Kepler had four reaction wheels, which keep Kepler steady and able to focus unerringly at distant stars and planets. Kepler really needs three wheels to achieve this job, but has four just in case. Earlier, in July, 2012, one of these wheels had broken down, putting engineers slightly on the edge. Kepler,…

    Samsung has high hopes for the Galaxy S4 (they actually hope to sell over 100 million units - or double the GS3 sales). Today the company reported that they will soon reach 10 million units sold - less than a month after launching the phone.The GS3 took 50 days to reach 10 million in sales, so the GS4 is selling at a much faster rate (almost double the rate actually). Google just announced that they will offer a GS4 model with stock Android 4.2 on their Google Play on June 26 for $649, this won't hurt sales rate I guess. The GS4 features a 4.99" Full-HD (1920x1280, 441 PPI) Super AMOLED…

    9 May 2013 | 5:26 am
    Researchers from the University of Delaware confirmed that electrons generate a magnetic field in a ferromagnetic material This new field does not radiate beyond the ferromagnetic material and so may lead towards high-density MRAM memory cells (in current technology it is difficult to shield the magnetic fields between memory cells).In materials made from two layers of a heavy metal and a ferromagnetic material, the spin current diffuses into the ferromagnetic material. When this happens, a magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field does not radiate beyond the ferromagnetic material…

    Softpedia News (Sebastian Pop)
    18 May 2013 | 1:27 am
    Valentin Boanta is a hacker that is serving a term in prison for supplying gadgets to an organized crime gang used to conceal ATM skimmers.

It took him six months, but he eventually finished the SRS, which is short for Secure Revolving System. Easily attachable to any ATM machine, it changes the way the card is read, preventing s...

  • Introducing the new HTML5 template Tag

    Craig Buckler
    17 May 2013 | 10:02 am
    Modern web applications use DOM manipulation to dynamically change areas of the page or insert values. A typical example is a table of figures; the initial page could return HTML column headers then initialize an Ajax request which returns several data records. The data is then appended to the table — but how? The developer has two choices:JavaScript is used to build HTML row strings or DOM fragments which are appended to the table. That seems easy until you need to make a change and must hunt around your JavaScript for the associated HTML code. To make life simpler, developers often…

    CSS Zen Garden is ten years old. If you started coding recently you may not have heard about the site, but Zen Garden was a defining moment in web history.Zen’s developer, Dave Shea, had a simple objective: to illustrate why CSS should be taken seriously and inspire designers. The concept provided a static HTML page and allowed developers to apply and submit their own styles. The only restrictions were that the CSS should validate and the resulting page worked in IE5+ and Mozilla (Firefox’s predecessor).The number of submissions increased exponentially and there was a sudden…

The open source product rapidly gained traction alongside PHP to become an integral part of the LAMP stack.Sun Microsystems obtained MySQL for $1 billion in January 2008. 15 months later, Oracle acquired Sun for $7.4 billion and became the owner of Java, VirtualBox, OpenOffice and MySQL.

  • Startups and the Art of Storytelling

    Mark Evans
    14 May 2013 | 4:05 am
    As brand journalism and content marketing become more engrained into the way that companies do business, storytelling is clearly becoming more important. There are a couple of reasons why this is the case. First, good stories are interesting, attractive and compelling. Second, brands will need to become better storytellers as content marketing becomes table stakes. When everyone’s telling stories, you need to be better at it to rise above the crowd – something we’re seeing in social media. So, how do brands tell good stories? It starts by being customer-centric, which means…

  • Should Startups Use Consultants?

    Mark Evans
    10 May 2013 | 6:30 am
    Earlier this week, the New York Times’ “You’re the Boss” column asked whether small and fast-growing businesses should hire consultants. The author, Clifford Oxford, opined that consultants should mostly be kept away: “This is the human factor of growth, and quite frankly, most consultants contaminate the whole place. Keep them out of this part of the business. Think about snakes in a wood pile. In fact, go back and find that 10-foot pole and grow without them.” As a consultant who provides marketing services to startups, I think Oxford is wrong because it…

  • How Much Should Startups Spend on Marketing?

    Mark Evans
    7 May 2013 | 4:30 am
    How much should startups spend on marketing? It’s a difficult to answer question to answer because many startups think that anything spent on marketing is a challenge to justify, whether it’s $100/month for a digital tool or $25,000 for an extensive media and blogger outreach program. The reality is most startups see marketing as a luxury or something that solves a point of pain, rather than a need-to-have or an exercise that has solid ROI. As a result, establishing a marketing budget can be a daunting exercise. The easy answer is how much to spending on marketing is do more than…

  • How to be David When There’s a Goliath

    Mark Evans
    1 May 2013 | 4:30 am
    For most startups, being to market first with a new idea or service is a rarity and luxury. For everyone else, the market is usually dominated by one or two players, even if the market is still in the early stages. It can be intimidating to have another startup with a strong foothold, not only with customers but in terms of awareness and media/blog coverage. It can look like an uphill battle in which a fledgling startup is scrambling to gain traction and credibility. So, what does it take for a startup (aka David) to battle a Goliath, even if the Goliath is another startup? At a high level,…

    17 May 2013 | 3:21 pm
    Rob Ford's term as the mayor of Toronto has been littered with controversy and bizzare spectacles. This latest one, though, is perhaps the craziest of all. Gawker is using crowdfunding platform Indiegogo to raise $200,000 to acquire footage of Ford allegedly smoking crack cocaine, speaking homophobic slurs toward other politicians, and other career-razing debauchery.

They wanted milk or cheese or maybe just an hour without you in house so they didn’t have to be parents for 60 minutes. You didn’t care. Within five seconds of that cash hitting your hand, you were out the door around the corner and down the block already imagining the bonanza of jawbreakers, Cheetos, licorice and Icy Squares that would soon be yours. There was no thought. It was instant. A flurry of…

  • BlackBerry Gains Significant Marketshare in Canada, Loses Ground Globally

    17 May 2013 | 1:32 pm
    There is both good news and bad news for BlackBerry. The good news is that its marketshare in Canada has more than doubled since 2012, up from 6% last year to 13.5% today, according to Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt. The analyst believes the launch of BlackBerry 10 spurred the dramatic change. BlackBerry still has a long way to go, however. In 2011, it held a marketshare of nearly 22% in Canada. And years before that, its marketshare was well over half. In Canada, Apple boasts 40% of the market, while Samsung accounts for 30%. Worldwide, BlackBerry isn't making much progress, however. It…

Here are nine questions everyone should ask themselves about their social media use: 9 Questions About Social Media In the 99U’s new book, Tiny Buddha’s Lori Deschene offers some hard-hitting, well thought out questions we all should be asking ourselves: Is it necessary to share this? Will it add value to my life and for other people?

  • New formula invented for microscope viewing, substitutes for federally controlled drug

    16 May 2013 | 9:00 pm
    (American Journal of Botany) In the May issue of Applications in Plant Sciences, researchers introduce Visikol, a proprietary new formulation that effectively clears organisms for viewing under microscopes. Visikol can replace chloral hydrate, which was previously one of the few high-quality clearing solutions but which is regulated by the DEA due to its use as a narcotic. The study tests Visikol's utility compared to chloral hydrate and demonstrates it as an effective replacement with a higher refractive index.

  • Small Package. Big Streaming Media

    Spot Cool Tech Stuff
    17 May 2013 | 8:02 am
    Big things come in small packages, they say. “They” must certainly have a Roku 3 Streaming Media Player. It’s Spot Cool Stuff’s new favorite way to watch streaming videos and on-demand television — and cost-effective too. It works like this: You connect the little Roku 3 box to the internet, either through an Ethernet cable or wifi. Then you hook the box up to your HD television† via an HDMI cable. And — voilà — you are ready to watch television (and listen to music and play games . . . more on that in a moment). Roku claims this tiny magical box will…

    Spot Cool Tech Stuff
    3 May 2013 | 12:54 pm
    When Kia offered us the opportunity to test drive a 2013 Kia Sportage we were initially hesitant. Our blog, after all, is called 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). And, around this same time, it happened that we needed a larger vehicle for a family Spring Break trip we had planned to the Catskills region of New York state. So…

  • The Mouse, Evolved

    9 Apr 2013 | 10:33 am
    The computer mouse has been around for nearly as long as the computer has — the first trackball was invented as part of a secret U.S. government military project back in 1952! 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…

    Spot Cool Tech Stuff
    27 Mar 2013 | 1:30 pm
    Over the last few decades, baby strollers have developed hipper designs and incorporated more rugged frames and lighter weight materials. But baby stroller technology (such as it is) has remained essentially the same as it was at the turn of the century — the 19th century. Happily, the humble stroller now is starting to become a little less humble. (And just in time for Spot Cool Stuff’s first baby, too!) A handful of new stroller start-ups are recognizing that today’s mobile and tech-savvy parents want those qualities reflected in their strollers. We’ll be publishing a…

    After nearly two decades of flat lining, the technology for washing and drying clothes has made substantial, incremental improvements in the last few years. The marketing of clothes washers and driers? Not so much. The average advertizement still consists of a supermodel masquerading as a housewife who becomes unrealistically upset at the ketchup stain on her blouse — and then unrealistically happy after her washer supposedly removed it. Leave it to GE, an innovator in home appliance technology, to be an innovator on the marketing front too. For their new High Efficiency Top Load Washer and…

  • What your IT department could learn from Sony's disruption

    Ron Miller
    17 May 2013 | 12:40 pm
    Sony is a classic example of a disrupted company, which failed to react to changes in the market and saw its brand diminish from one of the top names in consumer electronics to an also-ran. And believe it or not, your IT department could learn from Sony's mistakes because disruption follows a similar pattern whether it's an individual, a department or a corporation.  Read my full post and see all the lessons on CITEworld.

Airfights consist of up to 8 combatants, four per side, and vary depending on aircraft, pilot skill, and game difficulty level.

    After checking out PocketTactic’s piece on the limited (to Canada) release of a new Sid Meier game, I thought I’d take a little time tonight and check out Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol for iOS, especially there’s not a lot of game info either on 2K’s page (they’re the publisher) nor on FireAxis’s page (they’re the developer). Basically Ace Patrol is a turn based World War I air combat game — in the style of the old Avalon Hill games from late in the last century. You move your aircraft a hex or two at a time during your turn, maybe shooting, and then your opponent does the same.

    Robert Saunders
    1 May 2013 | 8:19 am
    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. Though launched in 1993, it was “built” in 1992. Dan…

    Two years ago, when the Samsung Galaxy series of phones were released, I, rather famously, posted three articles as to why “Samsung Vibrant is NOT my new Android Phone (Part One)“, (Part Two), (Part Three). Then, this past August, pretty much two years from then, I upgraded to the new Samsung Galaxy S3, and I couldn’t be happier.  All the problems I experienced with the Samsung Vibrant are gone, and there are so many new features I haven’t quite figured out how to use them all, but one thing is certain: I want to use this device safely in my car. So I’ve done a…

    The newest tablet in Samsung's lineup, the Galaxy Note 8 ($400) received top marks in our latest Ratings of 7- to 8-inch Wi-Fi tablets. It's largely the Galaxy's versatility that puts it at the top, with its innovative stylus and a feature lineup that includes GPS and a memory-card reader. (In comparison, the iPad Mini has none of those, but it also costs $70 less). One of the features that sets this tablet apart is the Note software that comes with it. You get handwriting recognition, the ability to multitask by running two apps side by side (with certain apps only), and Adobe Photoshop…

Though it's up and running, it's still an emerging standard, waiting to be ratified by the Wi-Fi working group; still, 802.11ac should result in faster throughput. Because it resides on the 5GHz frequency band, 802.11ac will run with less interference from other devices, including current computers, tablets, smartphones, microwave ovens, and cordless phones, which work on the same 2.4GHz band of the…

Each phone has a unique interface for presenting and accessing news feeds and messaging apps. But only the One tackles that task with aplomb. Here's what we found: The HTC One is a marquee model with a dazzling 4.7-inch, high-definition (1080p) display, and its sleekly curved aluminum unibody has a solid feel. We found its two amplified, front-firing speakers sounded better than those on many other phones, providing stereo sound loud enough and rich enough to enjoy without headphones. A…

    Make a netbook OS that’s not only cool to look at, but is much simpler to use. Netbooks are no-nonsense internet surfing devices with limited storage and power. So why do they keep coming reinstalled with Windows? Wouldn’t it make sense to create a simple, gorgeous operating system that uses the concept of SaaS (software as a service) cloud computing? That’s what the makers of Jolicloud thought. And that’s what the makers of Jolicloud created. Jolicloud is an OS that uses SaaS cloud computing. The programs you use don’t actually exist on your netbook’s hard drive. They don’t…

    Help the weak handed get a grip. About a year ago I started getting numbness in my dominant hand. After a few months the numbness became a noticeable weakness and I was having trouble using a pencil (which for a graphic designer isn’t the best think), mouse or even trying my shoelaces. After visiting the neurologist I was diagnosed with Ulnar Neurosis. My ulnar nerve was being pinched near my elbow and it delayed nerve impulses in my wrist and hand. With no nerve communication telling my muscles to move they had begun to atrophy at an alarming rate. Now I’m not asking you to play a sad…

    An ode to a father, a story of growing up with two mothers, a request for a cloak of visibility, and a reflection on goodbyes. Here are four Freshly Pressed standouts from this week — all quite personal pieces that have resonated with many readers. Go ahead and dive in: Why I Don’t Diet — An Ode to My Father My father spent his years fighting his size, wishing he was smaller, weaker, less of a giant.

  • AMD Shares Crash on Goldman Sachs Downgrade

    17 May 2013 | 3:05 pm
    AMD's shares took a bit of a beating today after an analyst from Goldman Sachs downgraded the company's stock to "sell." Odd seeing much of AMD's recent progress wiped out like this by a single analyst sitting in a cubicle somewhere. With sales of PCs slowing to rates not seen since records have been kept, the outlook for AMD, Covello argues, despite winning supply contracts from both Microsoft and Sony in forthcoming gaming systems, doesn't justify its recent rise to as high as $4.40 a share. AMD was trading at $3.80 a share, down 59 cents with 30 minutes to go in the session. Comments

The plaintiff in this case, AF Holdings, is seeking the identity of more than 1,000 Internet users that it claims are linked to the illegal downloading of a copyrighted pornographic film. Over the protest of the Internet service providers who received subpoenas for those identities, a lower court approved the disclosure of the names.

    Google announced a flurry of new services and updates to existing services at their I/O Conference in San Francisco. There were a steady stream of new products and enhancements to established services, so much so at times it was like trying to get a drink of water out of a fire hose. For developers Google announced three new APIs, all of which will supply big improvements in battery usage. The fused location provider will supposedly use only 1 percent of the battery power used by older APIs. Along with that will be the Geofencing API, which tracks user location changes and activity…

There’s still no official release date for Windows 8.1, jokingly called “The Apology” by some in the tech industry, but analysts expect Microsoft to have it fully deployed for the 2013 holiday season.

The first Facebook phone, also called the HTC First, may set a speed record for the fastest trip to the technology graveyard. Reports are mixed about whether AT&T has already committed to dropping the phone but at this point it’s really a decision between now or later. What’s for sure is AT&T dropped the price of the HTC First to just $0.99 after a month of sluggish sales. BGR first reported that sources inside AT&T confirmed the Facebook phone was facing impending doom, with sales of fewer than…

    Google recently rolled out update to Gmail for iOS that will open links to Google services in the native Google app, if they’ve been installed. If you click on a YouTube link or Maps, the update will skip Safair and open the link in the corresponding Google app. The interesting twist is that standard URLs will open in Chrome instead of Safari. So far both Google and Apple have been mum on the change and it remains to be seen if Apple will roll back some of these features. Apple doesn’t let users pick default applications in the iPhone, so this bold move by Google circumvents the typical…

Instead, Google took time to focus on how they’re making their core services – the things that Google has really built its success and fame…

    Pattern locks are popular on touch screen devices such as smartphones because they are easier to enter than typing passwords. When Windows 8 debuted, pattern locks became an alternate but necessary inclusion. Although most people are using Windows 8 on traditional non-touch based systems, touch-based laptops, tablets and monitors are catching up especially after the release of the Surface pro tablets. Windows 8 is the best solution for touch based laptops or touch monitor, but if you are not very keen on upgrading to Windows 8, there are ways to port several Windows 8 features to Windows 7…

  • How to Make Portable Applications The Default File Handler

    Kaushik
    16 May 2013 | 9:45 pm
    The universal appeal for portable applications lie in the fact that they aren’t associated in any way with the host computer. You can run them from a hard drive or a flash drive. You can move portable applications from one drive to another, or between computers and it takes all associated data and settings along with the program. If you don’t like a portable application, you can simply delete it because there are no file or registry leftovers to deal with. Portable applications operate almost in stealth. One drawback of portable applications is that it is not possible to make them the…

    "In NixOS, the entire operating system - the kernel, applications, system packages, configuration files, and so on - is built by the Nix package manager from a description in a purely functional build language. The fact that it's purely functional essentially means that building a new configuration cannot overwrite previous configurations. Most of the other features follow from this." Interesting approach.

What does it mean when a new CPU has a 12-stage pipeline, or 18-stage pipeline, or even a 'deep' 31-stage pipeline? Programs generally treat the CPU as a black box. Instructions go into the box in order, instructions come out of the box in order, and some processing magic happens inside. As a programmer, it is useful to learn what happens inside the box.

'My gut told me to say yes.'"

    Apple holds the trademark for punchline "There's an app for that" and rightly so there is an app for almost everything one could imagine using technology to help them with. To take things to another level altogether, an Indian startup "Biosense Technologies" has came up with an innovative iPhone app which lets users do Urine medical analysis at home at a fraction of cost and time of lab tests. A chemically active urinalysis reagent strip or "dipstick" is used to test urine samples, the chemically coated patches on these pads change color when dipped in urine - reacting to the contents present…

    Rex Hammock
    15 May 2013 | 3:36 pm
    I  try to ride my bike to work 2-3 times a week, rain or shine, hot or cold. When I tell that to people who know where I live and work, they picture in their minds me riding down Nashville’s busy Harding Road/West End Corridor. “No,” I tell them. All but a few blocks of my commute is free from traffic and I can hear birds chirping the entire way. Indeed, most of the route is via designated bike lanes, greenways or limited-access streets. At a nice and easy pace on my commuter bike (think pick-up truck), the commute takes about 40-45 minutes. When I explain my route to those…

    I’m glad to see that a PDF of this past weekend’s Baccalaureate Address by David Brooks has been posted on the Sewanee.edu website. It is filled with wonderful gems like this: “The first thing to worry about: Will I marry well? This is the most important decision you’re going to make in your life. If you have a great marriage and a crappy career, you will be happy. If you have a great career and a crappy marriage, you will be unhappy.

(That links to a year-end wrap-up of the stories I ran across during the year. And here’s a link to a Delicious list of about 50 articles I ran across that year.)

    Paul Stamatiou
    30 Apr 2013 | 9:00 am
    I have been thinking a lot about simplifying my life recently. I started a stellar new job four months ago and it felt like a great time to change other parts of my life. I used to be a slave to my startups. If I wasn't working, I had a perpetual feeling of guilt that I should be working. That lead to many all-nighters and eventually landed me in the hospital last year after fainting twice from fever and dehydration. That reads more like an accolade to the workaholic culture of Silicon Valley, which joyously consumes posts like how Marissa Mayer worked 130 hours per week. It was most…

With the newest generation of computers and smartphones that include premium speakers, you simply can’t afford to have mediocre audio in your videos.

  • Yet Another Data Breach – LivingSocial Gets Hacked

    Paul Griffin
    3 May 2013 | 9:13 am
    LivingSocial certainly didn’t have the best week this week after a massive data breach occurred last Friday, revealing the names, email addresses, encrypted passwords and birth dates of more than 50 millions users. I imagine that while the company is certainly thinking about how to move forward after this type of public transgression, it is also trying to figure out where things went wrong. This leads me, once again, to stress that in addition to using a driver that encrypts passwords that are sent across a network, you must also ensure that your database offers an encryption option. If you…

  • The Ultimate Guide to Targeting Search Profiles on Facebook

    Guest Author
    12 Feb 2013 | 5:23 am
    This is a guest post by Ben Plomion of Chango. When Facebook launched Facebook Exchange (FBX) last September, it was an important day in the history of online advertising.  Facebook accounts for some 25 percent of U.S. display inventory on the web. Now that inventory can be purchased with real-time bidding (RTB), and marketers can target their most valuable customers with a display ad on Facebook. But, though it didn’t receive as much attention as the launch of FBX, Facebook made another critical move in December when it allowed advertisers to target customers based on what they searched…

    We all know how important it is to optimize our content for search engines, but if you look at latest search engine trend, Google is focusing on ranking honest content more than content written for search engines. A good Rule of thumb is “Would you write this if search engines didn’t exist?” Beside ranking and indexing you also need to gain popularity and authority among your community and readers. So you must write articles that help them and provide solution to their problem. It shouldn’t be “only” aim to appear in search engine result. What happens…

    When Lightroom 5 Public Beta was introduced I recorded a video showing my Top 5 Favorite Features (see below).

You can perform edits on them in the Develop Module and also output them for web/email as well as use them in slideshows. I was curious as to how much space these Smart Previews would really take up.

    Ever since I upgraded to the iPhone 5 and got an iPad mini I’ve been slowly but surely replacing my old 3o pin iDevice cables with newer Lightning cables. While the price of Apple’s Lightning cables are a bit on the expensive side, what bugs me more is being limited to a fixed 1m length. While 3rd party 30 pin iDevice cables are a dime a dozen and can be found in many different lengths and configurations, 3rd party Lightning cables are just now starting to become widely available. There were some really cheap knockoffs that appeared early on and as the saying goes you get what you…

Sure it was faster than my notebook, but I just found that I was using my notebook more often than heading over to the Mac Pro. Now that I’m on the MacBook Pro most of the time, when I’m at my desk I want to connect all my peripherals.

    Josh Wolford
    17 May 2013 | 1:57 pm
    An Australian politician fell victim to a photo prank on Facebook that resulted in “liking” a picture of a 16-year-old boy’s testicles. Peter Collier has since apologized, claiming that the photo looked innocent enough to him when he liked it in late 2011. What happened to Collier could happen to all of us. You see a nice picture on Facebook of a group of people and you think “oh, that’s lovely. I like that!” and so you like it. But lurking in the shadows are exposed testicles. “Sneaky nuts” is a prank that involves sneakily showing one’s…

    Google is doing a lot of interesting things with maps these days. Not only do they have a whole new Google Maps experience, but they continue to amaze us on a regular basis with some of their imagery. Google still has a long way to go, however, when it comes to maps, specifically indoor maps. The search giant already has quite a few indoor maps, but as it says, this is the next frontier. “Mapping streets and buildings is the hard part,” Google says. “But the even harder part is mapping indoors.

    In an unexpected end to a week of speculation and rumor, E! News claims to have confirmed that pop star Beyoncé Knowles is, in fact, pregnant. The site cites unnamed “multiple sources” in its confirmation of the celebrity pregnancy. If true, the child would be the second for Beyoncé and her husband, rap producer Jay-Z. The couple already have one daughter, named Blue Ivy. Before their daughter was born, Beyoncé also suffered a miscarriage, about which she wrote a sad song. As rumors of the pregnancy heated up early this week, an unnamed source denied the claims, stating that it…

    This cover of Radiohead’s 15 Step appeared on YouTube back in January, but got some extra attention today when frontman Thom Yorke himself (or at least whoever runs his Facebook page) shared it with fans. Luckily for the video’s creator, IAmAhYell, those who are simply fans of Radiohead on Facebook also get to see it, thanks to a Facebook feature that says things like, “Thom Yorke is posting about a Page you like: Radiohead.” Radiohead has over ten million fans. It should be a good day for IAmAhYell’s YouTube views.

    Could you imagine Windows without a YouTube app? That could happen if Google gets its way. Google makes money when its apps support ads. The Windows Phone app for YouTube does not have ads. Microsoft made its own YouTube app but Google has sent a cease and desist letter to Microsoft demanding the app to be removed from the Windows Phone store. Let’s face it. Google won’t offer you a thing for free if it weren’t for those ads. It is not a surprise that the company is not happy with losing some revenue on Windows Phone devices. Windows Phone users can still use the mobile web…

    14 May 2013 | 4:54 am
    Microsoft has claimed to have sold 100m Windows 8 sales. Not a whole lot of people have challenged that claim. The Guardian’s Charles Arthur is though. According to him, the figure is between 57 to 59 million machines. The data is extrapolated from StatCounter and Net Applications’ NetMarketShare information. Microsoft will sell more Windows 8 licenses in the future. But the platform needs a shot in the arm to gather some momentum.

  • Analyst: Windows RT Needs Fixing

    Netbook Guy
    13 May 2013 | 4:55 am
    Windows RT was launched in a confusing manner and managed to turn off many Windows users. A platform that can’t run legacy Windows application and does not have all the popular apps to begin with was always going to struggle. According to Carolina Milanesi, Microsoft needs to reposition Windows RT: Microsoft’s strategy to portray Windows RT as for both work and play is not working … They need to change their tactics to position RT as the OS for consumption devices, to make the hardware a companion to the full Windows experience, not a replacement for it. It will be…

  • Two strategies: The Washington Post vs. The NYT

    Frédéric Filloux
    12 May 2013 | 11:22 pm
      Both are great American newspapers, both suffer from the advertising slump and from the transition to digital. But the New York Times’ paywall strategy is making a huge difference.  The Washington Post’s financials provide a good glance at the current status of legacy media struggling with the shift to digital. Unlike others large dailies, the components of the Post’s P&L clearly appear in its statements, they are not buried under layers of other activities. Product-wise, the Post remains a great news machine, collecting Pulitzer Prizes with clockwork regularity…

  • Elon Musk’s Sweet Revenge

    Jean-Louis Gassée
    12 May 2013 | 11:16 pm
      Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, saw its latest creation, the Model S – and himself – criticized by traditional media. Now, Tesla just scored its first profitable quarter and Consumer Reports put the Model S at the top of its rankings, making it possible for Musk’s company to become more than a niche player. Palo Alto is known, primarily, as the cradle of high-tech. Its birth registry stretches from pre-World War II Hewlett-Packard, to Cisco, Sun Microsystems (after Stanford University Network), Logitech, and on to Google and Facebook. But there’s an aspect of the…

    “Carriers are confident we won’t read the small print that contradicts their tricky advertising. Once in a while, a public servant really does his job and forces a retraction. Why so rarely?.” ‘My goal in life has been to have just enough money to ignore 8-point Helvetica!’ Thus spake a close friend one night in a quiet San Francisco bar. His objection was neither stylistic nor ophthalmologic. We were, once again, lamenting the shenanigans and ruses, the hidden fees and “some restrictions apply” (see, if you can, Sprint’s mendacious use of Truly…

How could Apple resist the temptation to solve its cash problem and make history again?

    17 May 2013 | 8:01 pm
    Google’s unfortunate decision to shut down its RSS reader service, Google Reader, is an important reminder of just how unreliable the cloud can be. When using free online services, and in some cases even some paid ones, you can never be too sure what is going to happen to your content, and whether or not the service will be available a year from now. Apps and services are bought, companies develop their strategy, and a lot of times, that means moving away from the one service or feature that you love the most.

Flight Control is not as big as Real Racing in terms of scope, it’s still an incredibly fun game that is an absolute joy to play, even if it might make you pull your hair out with rage once you reach the later levels. In the Flight Control game, you play as an air traffic controller trying to guide your planes to safety.

    There are dozens of notes apps in the iTunes App Store, and if you’re an iPhone or iPad user, you probably have a few notes apps on your device already. Ever so often an app comes along with so many great features that it pushes similar apps to the side.  Agile Tortoise’s Drafts is one such app. Drafts is not just for taking and saving notes, it is alsofor sharing notes to dozens of other apps and services. The app is optimized for both the iPhone ($2.99) and iPad ($3.99), and for what it does, the price tag is very reasonable. I’m pretty much a sucker for notes apps,…

    Today we will feature the work of a digital artist that goes by the username Muju. I ran across his work on Deviantart and clearly had to share it with you. If I had to describe his work in two words, I would probably say ‘vividly messy’. His artwork carries a messy/dirty style that’s very hard to pull off. I’ve seen artists try this and it’s not as easy as it looks. From my perspective Muju’s drawings are mainly fantasy characters influenced heavily by style, taste, and vivid imagination. His art is absolutely incredible and I hope you’ll think so…

    Excellent website design is a confluence of three factors, form, function and interactivity. One without the others will result in a website with little visual appeal, or little functionality, or little interactivity, all of which will defeat the purpose of the website in the first place – to attract traffic to it and encourage the desired actions among its readers.

    15 May 2013 | 1:16 pm
    Nerd Christmas (aka Google I/O) is nearly over and this year we’ve hit the jackpot. The big man has given us a new Android phone, a new integrated messenger, several improvements to Google+, and, best of all, a sexy new interface to Google Maps. Almost every single Google service (or at least the ones they’re not likely to shutter), has gotten an update this year but Google Maps stands out as the most impressive and important change.  Google has described this as “the biggest change we’ve made to Google Maps since we launched eight years ago,” and it probably is. While a…

  • Is YouTube’s freemium paywall a step too far for the social web?

    Ciaran Treacy
    12 May 2013 | 8:18 am
    With YouTube introducing subscriptions and Facebook ads entering your news feed, how can social networks make money without alienating users and brands? This week, YouTube announced that it will begin to create pay-per-view channels, whereby many popular subscription-based channels can now charge users to view content. Effectively, Google is creating an entirely new revenue stream for the site, standing apart from its standard advertising. But the problem Google is trying to solve here is one which has been around since the days Bebo and MySpace; how do you generate income from social without…

    Here’s a challenge. If I gave you two minutes and access to the Google Maps Android or iOS app could you find the precise latitude and longitude of the Eiffel Tower? I wager that you won’t be able to. Sure, you can search for the Eiffel Tower and you’ll be shown its location.  You could even be standing under the thing and, with GPS turned on, you’d still have difficulty getting its geo-coordinates. So, if you’re wondering how you can get the coordinates for any location on Earth, read on below. To find your latitude and longitude, or the coordinates for any location,…

Microsoft Points are the universal coin with which users can purchase games, movies and TV shows on their Xbox. What’s important about this announcement from the Irish company is that Microsoft Points and Xbox subscription can be charged to users’ mobile phones, eliminating the need to use a credit card. It’s estimated that 56% of the Irish population do not own a credit card. This is perhaps even more significant when you consider…

  • SCCM 2012 agent reboots when MSIEXEC uses REALLYSUPPRESS switch

    Luis Johnstone
    7 May 2013 | 7:13 am
    I recently discovered some rather worrying behaviour in SCCM 2012 SP1 regarding how the CM agent handles return codes from msiexec. If you pass the /REALLYSUPPRESS switch to msixec then that means that if msixec determines that the installation needs a reboot (for example, if a required file was in use during the install/upgrade) then msiexec will not initiate a reboot; instead it will suppress the reboot and return an exit code of 3010. SCCM 2012 Deployment Types define a 3010 as a "Soft Reboot". There does not appear to be any definitive documentation online from MS regarding the…

  • Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 WOL Proxy Feature Overview

    Paul Thomsen
    3 May 2013 | 9:06 am
    Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 includes a new feature named WOL Proxy. ConfigMgr (or SCCM) has had a wake-on-LAN solution since ConfigMgr 2007 for appropriately flagged deployments. ConfigMgr WOL runs in one of two modes: subnet-directed broadcast or unicast. ConfigMgr customers found that unicast did not work once the clients’ routers had dropped their MAC address (typically after 4 hours). Subnet-directed broadcasts only worked if routers were set to propagate subnet-directed broadcasts, which is normally not the case due to security concerns. Therefore…

You could watch over a sixth of a season of 24. You could even squeeze in a Super Bowl. Or you could just run a marathon like Sumir Karayi. Sumir Karayi has just ran his first London Marathon in charity for BAAF on Sunday and, with the help of all of those of you out there who have charitably donated, has managed to raise more than £11,000.

  • “I’m A Nuke”: MIT’s Rising Generation of Nuclear Engineers

    Guest blogger: Peter Dunn The phrase “young nuclear engineer” has been something of an oxymoron in recent decades, with the nuclear energy industry offering few openings for newcomers. Yet a new crop of nuclear engineers are coming out of MIT and videos themed, “I’m A Nuke” tell some of their stories. MIT students host the American Nuclear Society 2013 Student Conference in April. Newly educated engineers are vital because the engineers who entered the field in the 1960s and 1970s are retiring, and climate change concerns are sparking renewed interest in the ability to…

    16 May 2013 | 8:25 am
    All Access, a music streaming subscription service described as ‘radio without rules’, has been revealed as Google’s latest endeavour at the firm’s annual I/O developer conference in San Francisco. It is an add-on to Google’s already existing platform, Play Music, which allows users to store music they already own and sync to their devices for free. While Play Music permits purchased downloads of extra tracks, the All Access add-on allows those who sign up to stream music they don’t own on a monthly basis – a business model Spotify has proven to be very successful.

    10 May 2013 | 9:53 am
    While the market and the media have speculated at the release of an’ Xbox 720’ for the last five years, it seems that Microsoft had in fact set its sights on a number much, much higher. According to an image leaked on reddit.com , the impending console has been christened ‘Infinity’. As usual, Microsoft said it “does not comment on rumour and speculation”. Never mind, the new Xbox is set to be unveiled at a press event on 21 May, so rumours of the alternative name will very soon be confirmed. COD Ghost for the console will be revealed in conjunction on that very date,…

  • US Bill To Expand Realms Of Online Sales Tax Law

    Amrita Riat
    10 May 2013 | 5:29 am
    At the moment, the American government only charges online sales tax to retailers with a physical presence. So under the current law, large brick-and-mortar companies such as Walmart must collect sales taxes on online purchases in all states where they have a ‘concrete’ presence in the literal sense of the word. Purely online retailers are exempt, except in states where they have an office or distribution centre. The world’s largest internet store Amazon practically has bureaus or depots in every state, and as such is supporting a bill that will impose sales taxes on more online…

    13 May 2013 | 9:12 am
    We are not that long away from the scheduled release of Joomla 3.5, the next LTS (Long Term Release) and at this point in time I believe we really should not be looking at adding any game-changer features. My understanding, and hope, is that by the time we release 3.5 it should be a rock solid release and will need little more than minor maintenance and security releases for the rest of the release's life. What about new stuff? A high level Road Map exists, finally, but it doesn't dictate, or even suggest, for which release we should be aiming for with those features. If we truly want to…

    29 Apr 2013 | 6:35 am
    I am not a strong swimmer OR remotely fit and I thought I should do something about that. The venue for J and Beyond has a great swimming pool so encourage me to stop talking and get in that pool by sponsoring me, please. I will be raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC) in London by swimming 1km. That might not seem a lot to some of you but as I don't think I have swum more than 25 metres for over 20 years it's a heck of a long way for me. Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSHCC) need to raise £50 million each year to help rebuild and…

    Joomla! 4.0 or Next, Joomla! Platform or Framework, WTF is going on!? A lot of discussion and confusion has been going on lately about the direction of the Joomla! project. What's in store for the CMS, what's going on with the Platform, why a new direction with the Framework, and how's all of this tie together. I personally don't have all of the answers, but what I can share is my own vision for the future and how everything ties together.

  • Joomla Certification?

    27 Feb 2013 | 3:58 am
    As a trainer I am occasionally asked if there is any Certification available after the training and all I can offer is a certificate of completion or attendance. (There is definitely a cultural difference where some countries and cultures place a high value on formal qualifications.) In the final days of Mambo I was excited about the possibility of the project offering a more formal "official" certification process. That never happened and today I am glad it didn't as I do not believe that there is any real value in certification or that it can work in the real world. Why have a certificate?

    Big data.  There are few conversations in the IT community which do not start, address, or end on the topic.  Some conversations are visionary in nature, some critical, and many considering the challenges we’ll need to overcome in the process of understanding how to deal with big data. Definitions of big data almost parallel the 3 V’s of big data, which are velocity, volume, and variety.  We may call it a byproduct of massive data growth, cheap technology, and our ability to save everything.  We may address the enormous volumes of data generated by social media, smart grids, and…

    A good indication any new technology or business model is starting to mature is the number of certifications popping up related to that product, framework, or service.   Cloud computing is certainly no exception, with vendors such as Microsoft, Google, VMWare, and IBM offering certification training for their own products, as well as organizations such CompTIA and Architura competing for industry neutral certifications. Is this all hype, or is it an essential part of the emerging cloud computing ecosystem?  Can we remember the days when entry level Cisco, Microsoft, or other vendor…

    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…

That’s a pretty damn impressive number for any app, particularly considering that Facebook Home is only available for a very small selection of devices at the moment. 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…

I was lucky enough to be one of the first industry analysts to see Java before it was Java and it was just Oak. That was an exciting time.

    OpenStack’s huge momentum is undeniable. IBM, RedHat, NetApp, Rackspace, HP, Dell, Cisco, Intel and even VMware have committed significant funds and human resources to this project. But why would companies, that are otherwise competing rather fiercely, sit on one table to build an OpenSource cloud platform? The answer is certainly not “altruism”, as this is not a characteristic that is well appreciated by shareholders and boards. Each one of these organizations aims at selling as much hardware, software and services as they possibly can. OpenStack could be seen as the new “arena” in…

    Mateusz Roszczak

    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.

Try to avoid using the “ref” and “out” keywords. There is rarely a situation that you really have to use “ref” or “out” keywords.

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…

Therefore, I decided to gather the 8 most common mistakes made. 1.

    Some days ago all of a sudden my Macbook became slow, so slow, it really influenced my daily performance. I had to wait a long time before I could check a single e-mail, typing was slow, applications slowly opened etc. My first thought: a lack of disk space. That was not the case. After a reboot (which sometimes helps) I didn’t notice any change. Even with a small amount of applications opened, meaning a lot less than usually, it was still not too responsive. Oh no, a virus? Fortunately, the solution was a lot easier, at least, once I found it. A lack of disk space is often the issue…

  • Apple Will Deliver New UX Vision

    Randy Giusto
    3 May 2013 | 12:39 pm
    Refresh Importance Apple is set to do a major refresh of iOS and the first public unveiling is expected to be at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The key is reducing UI complexity while enhancing UX. With Jony Ivy now leading both hardware and software design efforts for iPhone, iPad, and iPod, Apple is closer to making this happen. iOS’ overall look and feel hasn’t radically changed much since 2007, though it was both disruptive and immensely appealing when it debuted. Apple has since been in a leadership position in both smartphones and tablets. The UI and UX of native iOS…

    2 May 2013 | 6:23 pm
    Mobile Ad Sales Rise! Facebook’s revenue was up as it slowly makes the transition to a mobile company. For its first quarter ending March 31, its mobile business rose to 30% of total advertising sales to $375 million, from 23% a year ago. Monthly active mobile users increased to 751 million, up 54%. It was about a year ago that Facebook was discounted as being nowhere in mobile. Since then the company has aggressively fought to change that perception. The boost in mobile helped its overall results and the Menlo Park firm beat Wall Street’s expectations as revenue rose 39% to…

    Randy Giusto
    25 Jan 2013 | 2:31 pm
    On Thursday, Twitter introduced its new video sharing service called Vine that is supposed to be the Instagram of videos. However, keeping to true brevity like Twitter does with its 140-character limit, Vine limits you to 6 seconds of video. Yes, I said SIX seconds. Of course, you can loop it. Vine is available on the iPhone and iPod Touch and is free in the App Store. Vine really pushes people to be creative, because that 6-second wall is pretty limiting. Twitter acquired Vine last fall and is its first foray into video. Yes, there are video recording apps out there like Tout and Viddy that…

  • Snugg White Leather iPad 2 Case and Stand Review

    Chris Satchwell
    15 Apr 2013 | 8:33 am
    I previously had a simple rubber back cover on my iPad 2. It was plain black and cost a few pounds from eBay UK. I partly did the job I wanted it to, however it was quite detrimental to the looks of it, and I recently discovered that on the back of the iPad there was a build up of dirt. I think what had happened was dirt was getting in and getting trapped. As a result I’ve had to thoroughly clean the back of it to keep it good and binned the black cover. As a replacement I have a white PU leather proper case which also acts as a stand. It is made by The Snugg who have a range of iPad 2…

  • Compound Blur – After Effects Spotlight

    Alex Damon
    29 Apr 2013 | 8:51 am
    The Compound Blur effect blurs pixels in the effect layer based on the luminance values of a control layer, also known as a blur layer or blurring map. So we have here some footage, and we also have this ramp going from black to white. Apply the Compound Blur by going to Effect, Blur & Sharpen, Compound Blur. By default, the effect will use your footage as a blur map. Brighter areas will have more blur, and darker areas have less. You can select Invert Blur to swap that. Instead of using our footage, we want to use our blur map. So next to Blur Layer, select your ramp layer. So you can…

  • Why Yahoo Might Pay $1.1 Billion For Tumblr Even Though It Only Has $13 Million In Revenue (YHOO)

    Jim Edwards
    17 May 2013 | 8:07 pm
    If Yahoo! buys Tumblr for $1.1 billion — a deal that may get approved as soon as Sunday night according to AllThingsD — one fact is likely to get cited a lot when the acquisition is announced: That Tumblr had only $13 million in revenue in 2012, after taking $125 million in investor funding.With lousy economics like that, why would Yahoo even consider such a high price?It's worth comparing a putative Yahoo-Tumblr deal to Facebook's $1 billion acquisition of Instagram last year. And not simply because the headline price is the similar.It turns out there are a lot of similarities…

    Microsoft has formed a new "deep tech" team of executives whose duties will include recruiting non-Microsoft developers to build apps using its products. The idea is to get Microsoft closer to next-generation developers who are making tons of money building Web and mobile apps on other companies' platforms. But according to some developers who've worked with Microsoft for years, the company will have to become a better listener in order to achieve this goal.  ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley was first to report on the deep tech team earlier this week.  With Windows 8, Microsoft…

    Great video from the guys at Numberphile talking about illegal numbers. It always amazes to think that your money in the bank isn’t protected by steel doors or guards with guns anymore–it’s protected by numbers. (more specifically it’s protected by one VERY VERY large number). The encryption key that is responsible for keeping your sensitive bank details secret, is nothing more than a very very long number, and that number protects your money more than any steel door or armed guard ever could. But it’s still a number. Similarly the encryption that protects the…

    Bruce Schneier, whom I respect tremendously, points out that freedom and security are opposing ends of the same spectrum, people balance out freedom and security based on what they perceive. In other words, people would sacrifice their freedoms if they thought they needed more security. A way to think about this, is the amount of Gated and Guarded communities we have sprawling through the Klang Valley (and even beyond). People are willing to sacrifice the extra money and give up some freedoms to live in a Gated and Guarded area, in some cases the premiums reach 100% just to live in a area…

    In 2 days time, the South-East Asian nation of Malaysia will go through its 13th General Election since 1955. Some might look negatively on the number 13, but for the vast majority of Malaysians the coming few days will either raise our hopes or shatter them. Malaysia has had only 1 party in power since it’s independence—that’s a long time to be in power, and for the first time since 1955 the ruling party in Malaysia is under threat, not just to lose it’s 2/3rd majority in Parliament, but the entire elections altogether, and with it control of the Federal Government.

The annoying snowy pixels were present only in Chrome but not when I used Firefox. This was the first time I encountered such an issue in the 6 years that I have been using Linux. A quick Google search led me to the culprit. It was the flash plugin named “pepper flash” or “out-of-process” that caused the yellow snow pixels on YouTube videos. Disabling the darn thing resolved the issue. Disable…

  • Catching up on Mission Impossible

    A few days ago, my wife and I saw again Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol on HBO. She was so hooked into it, she wanted to watch the earlier three films. While watching Ghost Protocol, she asked me why wasn’t I fond of the Mission Impossible franchise? In all honesty, I told her that for some unclear reason, it never grew or rubbed on me that Mission Impossible is a must-watch movie. It’s not that the movie sucks, on the contrary, it’s one of biggest action film franchises in Hollywood. I’d easily describe it as America’s answer to Britain’s James Bond…

  • My mobile phone history

    Call it an internet meme or not, this little exercise is a lot of fun to do mainly because you get to go down memory lane again and look back at all the previous mobile phones you have owned or used in the past. It may reveal how old you are, but it will show you how far mobile phone technology has gone and it can offer as to what the future may hold. For me, it all started in 1999 just before I graduated from elementary school when my grandfather gave me my first mobile phone as a gift. From then on it was ride from Siemens, to Nokia, to SonyEricsson to LG to BlackBerry and to the present,…

  • 2013 IT Spending Priorities Survey

    Winnie Ng Schuchman
    16 May 2013 | 2:27 am
    It’s that time again … InformationWeek gauges IT project priorities in the enterprise, and gives tech marketers an idea of their prospects and customers’ mindset for the rest of the year. This year’s study shows that technology professionals want to deliver business value, but have a hard time breaking out of the vicious circle of underfunding and playing catch-up. The good news is that more than 39% of survey respondents are reporting an IT budget increase for this year, and say the increase will be between 10% and 14%. We heard from 513 business technology professionals in our…

  • Data-Driven Techniques That Unlock New Customers And Revenue

    Scott Vaughan
    15 May 2013 | 3:05 am
    Originally published in eMedia Vitals on May 1, 2013. B2B media and marketing professionals have to rethink how we serve professionals to attract new customers and create new products and revenue streams.  One of the most effective ways to make this happen is through customer modeling: using data, insights and targeted marketing techniques to unlock new opportunities. There are many variations and interpretations of data-driven customer modeling.  My colleagues and I at UBM Tech defined customer modeling in a few ways (often these can overlap): Discover new customers – “find me more of…

  • Social Business Not Dead, Just Business As Usual

    Fritz Nelson
    14 May 2013 | 11:58 am
    Social is becoming embedded into applications and business processes. Soon it will cease to be a category. It wasn’t long ago that companies such as Jive and Yammer were proclaiming the era of the social enterprise. Knowledge workers no longer would be slaves to email. The best parts of social media would find their way to the workplace (sans photos of drunken friends). Knowledge and data would be found and shared with ease. Communication would be neither push nor pull but one or the other in the most appropriate times. And indeed the social enterprise has shown its worth. Insurance…

  • Requirements Collaboration: Traps to Avoid – Webinar Q&A

    Derwyn Harris
    15 May 2013 | 3:09 pm
    Yesterday, Karl Weigers and I co-presented a webinar on “The Six Common Traps to Avoid when Collaborating on Requirements.” More than 500 people attended and asked some great questions. Due to time constraints, we did not get to many of the questions, so I thought I’d address some of the common themes around requirements collaboration here. How does agile fit in the world of collaborating on requirements? I believe there is a common misunderstanding that agile is about stories, sprints, and burndown charts. These concepts are associated with methodologies from the Agile Manifesto.

  • Software Development: Get in the Room with Customers

    Sean Adkinson

    Jama has an initiative to get every employee in front of at least one customer, in person, which is not something that developers generally get to do. In fact, I’ve never heard of another company that sends developers on customer trips. My task was simple: follow Shane Angus, one of our technical account mangers on the Jama Services team, around the customer’s campus, observe and help out where I can. Shane was onsite to help onboard this new customer, a process involving many meetings and lots of time at the whiteboard. At Jama, my days in software development are usually spent coding in…

    Great business analysts are grown, not trained. The job includes many soft skills that are more people-oriented than technical. An organization’s BAs likely will come from diverse backgrounds, which could include the business side, the IT side, and subject matter experts. Whatever their backgrounds, new BAs will have gaps in their experience, knowledge and skill sets because of the unique bridging and communication-centric nature of this vital project role. This article looks at some of the skills and knowledge issues associated with business analysts who come to the job from various…
