DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- (Marketwired) -- 06/04/14 -- Telematics Detroit Conference -
Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this Press Release.
QNX Software Systems Limited, a subsidiary of BlackBerry and a global leader in software platforms for in-car electronics, and Rightware, a leader in automotive user interface design tools, today unveiled their latest collaboration: a fully digital and reconfigurable instrument cluster for the QNX® technology concept car.
The new concept demonstrates how digital instrument clusters powered by the QNX® Neutrino® operating system and the Rightware® Kanzi® UI Solution are helping to transform the driving experience. For example, the cluster integrates with the car's infotainment system to display a wealth of realtime information - from local speed limits and turn-by-turn directions to traffic reports and incoming phone calls. And because the cluster is fully digital, it can dynamically change views, highlighting the most important information and using advanced visualizations to help the driver process information more quickly.
"QNX Software Systems and Rightware have already worked together on successful production programs, including the exciting new Audi virtual cockpit," said Peter McCarthy, director of global alliances, QNX Software Systems. "Leveraging our joint experience, we created this cluster for the QNX technology concept car to demonstrate how our technologies not only make in-vehicle systems easier to develop, but enable drivers to take best advantage of the rich information available in the connected car."
The cluster's advanced user experience is made possible by the integration between the Rightware Kanzi UI Solution and the QNX OS. The Kanzi UI Solution enables HMI designers to rapidly design high-quality UIs with photorealistic real-time 2D and 3D graphics. The QNX OS makes it easy for developers using the Kanzi UI Solution to access vehicle data and services - including navigation, multimedia, speed, RPM, and car diagnostics - by providing an abstraction layer based on QNX persistent publish/subscribe (PPS) technology.
Together, the QNX OS and the Kanzi Engine run-time module also enable the development of UIs that meet automotive requirements for start-up time, screen refresh times, reliability, and memory consumption.
"The QNX technology concept car really showcases how our Kanzi UI Solution can help automotive companies create advanced user interfaces for their production-quality environments. We are very honored to work with QNX Software Systems, a global automotive software leader, and we are very excited that they have elected to work with us on this project," said Jonas Geust, Rightware CEO. "We have had a great working relationship with QNX on many car HMIs that are already in mass production and, with this project, we are pleased to strengthen our cooperation and push the envelope of what we can do together."
Demonstrations at Telematics Detroit
Rightware will showcase their UI technology at Telematics Detroit, booth 111. For more information, please go to http://www.rightware.com/telematics-detroit-2014-june-4-5-novi-michigan-usa/.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Benny Gantz speaks at senior military forum 370.
(photo credit:IDF Spokesperson)
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz told a senior military forum that
the State Comptroller's Report on the Harpaz Affair marked "a sad day for the
IDF, the State of Israel, citizens and everyone who was close to the
affair."The report charted a feud between Defense Minister Ehud Barak
and former chief of staff Lt.- Gen. (res.) Gabi Ashkenazi, which culminated in a
forged document that was leaked to the press."I don't intend to be a
judge between the sides involved in this report, and I will handle my area in
the IDF," Gantz said, speaking at the start of the General Staff's investigation
into November's Operation Pillar of Defense."Lines were crossed and
improper steps were taken in functional and ethical terms," the chief of staff
added. "On occasion, authority was exploited in relation to other people,
through the use of information. On occasion, a good act was carried out in good
faith, but it crossed lines that must not be crossed."Gantz said that he
could not accept such conduct, despite his high regard for the people involved
in the affair.Addressing the part of the report which noted that former
intelligence officer Boaz Harpaz had been able to override instructions banning
him from receiving classified information from Military Intelligence, Gantz said
that both the former and current commanders of Military Intelligence had already
repaired the loopholes that had allowed this to happen."We appointed two
more committees to ensure that we do not have breaches," Gantz said, adding that
he intended to continue dealing with the afterffects of the affair."I
don't think there was ever a misunderstanding... regarding the seniority of the
government over the military wing," Gantz said, addressing claims by Barak that
Ashkenazi had attempted to carry out an insurrection against the elected
government. The State Comptroller's Report said no insurrection had been
attempted."We're pleased to know that we are a military that belongs to
a state and not a state that belongs to a military," Gantz said. "We will
continue to carry out orders by the government in accordance with the law – that
is the situation today, and that is the situation that will continue into the
future," he added.Gantz said that the military had moved on and put the
affair behind it, and that the IDF was a strong organization that knew how to
recover from difficult crises.

Rain Man
Self-centered Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise), is informed that his long-estranged father has died. Expecting at least a portion of the elder Babbitt's $3 million estate, Charlie learns that all he's inherited is his dad's prize roses and a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Discovering that the $3 million is being held in trust for an unidentified party, Charlie heads to his home town of Cincinnati to find out who that party is, and It turns out that the beneficiary is Raymond Babbitt (Dustin Hoffman), the autistic-savant older brother that Charlie never knew he had. Able to memorize reams of trivia and add, subtract, multiply, and divide without a second's hesitation, Raymond is otherwise incapable of functioning as a normal human being. The movie won Best Picture. Rated R. 128 minutes.

OpenStack Has Its Issues but it's Worth a Fortune
The OpenStack user survey published earlier this month shows the frailties of the project and why customers using it become reliant on vendors. These issues stretch across different aspects of OpenStack, discussed in detail at the Kilo Design Summit at the OpenStack Summit in Paris. Full details of the user pain points can be found here.
GNOME 3.15.2 Released
GNOME 3.15.2 incorporates GTK+ Inspector improvements, more GTK+ OpenGL support (including GTK+ OpenGL support for the Mir back-end), support for Epiphany to open web page sources in the default text editor, improved thumbnail handling for the GNOME Desktop, updated themes, numerous improvements to GNOME Boxes, various enhancements to GNOME Maps, many bug fixes, and the usual assortment of translation updates.
Getting OpenStack Ready for the Enterprise
OpenStack is gaining popularity as the cloud platform of choice for IT organizations. This was reflected in a 2013 IDG survey that found as much as 64 percent of IT managers including OpenStack in their technology roadmap. In the current fast-paced IT market, the massive scalability and flexible, modular architecture of OpenStack can help give organizations the agility they need.

Pistons guard Ben Gordon drives past Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, in Auburn Hills. / AP
Jamie Samuelsen, the sports director for the "Deminski & Doyle" morning show on WCSX-FM (94.7), blogs for freep.com. His opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the Detroit Free Press nor its writers. You can reach him at email@example.com and read more of his opinions at freep.com/jamie.
Who will lead the Detroit Pistons in scoring this season: Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon or a dark horse?
I was really looking forward to watching the game against Orlando on Tuesday night. I was excited to see how the Pistons would do against a formidable foe. And I was excited to see Ben Gordon playing a full game. Plus, my wife was working, and the kids were asleep, so I knew I had a full night of NBA basketball on the docket with no battle for the remote.
Close game. Good win. VERY impressive defense. (Whos that No. 6 for Detroit? He can still play some D.) And yet I turned off the set somewhat dissatisfied. I couldnt quite put my finger on it until I looked at the box score this morning. Pistons win, 85-80. As a team, the Pistons combined for eight assists. EIGHT! Three for Gordon. Three for Rodney Stuckey. And two for Will Bynum. Thats what bugged me about the game. And I needed the stat to confirm it. There was no flow to the basketball. Just a ton of isolation, creating one-on-one matchups for the three guards. The other two guys on the floor were left to either play defense, try for rebounds, or watch. Maybe Im still mourning the loss of Chauncey Billups. Or maybe Im just lamenting the nature of the NBA with all the one-on-one battles. But that bugged me.
I looked at the box scores of the Celtics and the Lakers, the last two NBA champs and contenders to win it all again this year. The Lakers had 19 assists on 38 field goals -- exactly 50%. The Celtics had 27 assists on 41 field goals 66%. The Pistons only had assists on 30% of their field goals.
I wont overreact to this. Its only one game. And I should point out that Tayshaun Prince was out, which is a pretty big cog in the ball rotation on offense. (Rip was out, too. But lets face it: Hes less of a distributor on offense and more of a collector.") But I think it shows what we should expect from the Pistons this year. The offense will come from the guards. And when the offense comes primarily from one-on-one matchups with the guards, it makes defending the team a little easier.
All that babble brings me to the answer: Ben Gordon. Hes the best at beating his man. Hes an offensive dynamo, more than Rip or anyone else. As we saw for six years, Hamilton is at his best when he has a point guard setting him up. Hes not as good on his own. Gordon is good in any circumstance.
Theres no such thing as a bad win, especially when you beat a team like the Magic. Im just saying that the style of the game annoyed me a little. And I think its a preview of whats to come. There will be nights when that works just fine and the shots fall. But when they dont? What then? Thats what concerns me.

The 16th Street Mall is a shopper's paradise -- that is, if you're in the market for some overpriced, faux-Native American souvenirs or maybe a nice wig. For those who actually live and work downtown, there's no beating Walgreens for sheer practicality, economy and reliability, not to mention great people-watching. Housed in a vintage building in the heart of downtown, the store -- which has been there for fifty years -- draws a cross-strata of humanity united by a shared drugstore dependence. Where else can you fill a prescription, develop film, catch up on some magazine reading and buy actual groceries, as well as the latest near-the-register novelties, all during your lunch break? Walgreens hawks the stuff of life in a lively part of town.

How does water turn to stone?
In the mountains of Croatia, a kind of alchemy is forging a magical landscape where water literally turns to stone.THE FALLING LAKES gives viewers a first-hand look at this remarkable process, which has helped make Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park one of southeastern Europe's natural wonders.
The park's crown jewels are a necklace of 16 lakes connected by gushing springs, sparkling rivers, and soaring waterfalls. The water streams over porous limestone that underlies the region. But the landscape is far from rock solid. It is constantly changing its shape, as erosion and an unusual chemical process continually form new dams and riverbeds that steer the water in new directions.
Here is how it works
As water travels through the limestone, it dissolves the surrounding stone and bubbles to the surface heavily laden with suspended lime (calcium carbonate). The water then flows through a natural filter of moss and plants that grow in a luxurious carpet along stream banks. Under the right conditions — water and air temperatures play a key role — the suspended lime is deposited on the plants, entombing them in a hard glaze. Eventually, the lime-encrusted plants petrify, and the entire mass turns to a rock that geologists call travertine. Even small animals can become entrapped in the "living" stone. Then, new mosses grow atop the travertine and the process begins again.
Over thousands of years, the waters of Plitvice have built everything from sturdy dams to weird and wonderful natural sculptures. But researchers have discovered that the conditions have not always been right to create travertine. Several times over the last 30,000 years the region has lacked the right combination of temperature and humidity to form travertine.
These days, however, the travertine-forming process is going strong, forming new layers at rates of up to an inch a year. But the process depends on clean water, and pollution from farm fertilizers and other sources threatens to slow or stop the process in some parts of Plitvice. Local groups are working hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
In the meantime, visitors throng to the valley, eager to see for themselves the magical water that can turn to stone. One visitor says that even Medusa — the mythical snake-haired creature who could turn onlookers to stone — would be amazed by the waters of Plitvice.
The colors in the photo are gorgeous, and your description is both informative and fascinating.

When I first saw the photo I thought of New Zealand waters coming from glaciers. There the water is milky white ~ opalescent from the pulverised stone it contains. It is quite different to this water you have described. I had heard of travertine in relation to the gran canyon in America, but did not realise the action could occur in a much more sedate area. Thanks for the picture and narrative.
Hi FM,this lake is also know as "The turquoise lake" and I can say that is really so.Thanks my friend for your kind words and support.

Most of what Google has done in lollipop is great—better design, thoughtful features, and better developer support. However, there are few wonky things going on in this first release, and it's hard to know if they're intentional or not. Case in point, the lack of silent mode on phones. Lowering the volume only offers vibrate mode, and the new priority notification system isn't going to help you.
With the release of version 6.2, Titanium Backup should now play along nicely with Android 5.0. This means rooted users who have already jumped to Lollipop can continue to use the tool to back up, restore, or freeze whichever apps they wish.
When you install the app, it's not going to look pretty. There's no Material Design to drool over, nor are there any fancy animations to catch your eye. Even the icon looks a little out of date these days.
There are a few great choices if you want to jump into the world of Android wearables, but maybe the ZenWatch with its surprisingly reasonable price is the one to wait for. The device has popped up in the Play Store as "coming soon," but Best Buy also has it listed. However, it's sold out there. Update 11/14/14: The ZenWatch is now available for purchase in the Play Store.
Turn those frowns upside-down, Nexus 4 stalwarts. Your beloved Nexus of yesteryear is finally getting that sweet, sweet Lollipop goodness in an official capacity, just as we expected. Google has posted the full system image that takes the Nexus 4 all the way to Android 5.0.
Are you a Verizon customer? Are you due for an upgrade on your 2-year contract? Well, go in armed with the knowledge that any 2-year agreement signed from today forward is going to have a substantially awful...er early termination clause.
The base fee of $350 is remaining the same - that's the not-bad news (I mean, it's obviously not good news). The problem is that until you're 8 full months into your contract, that ETF doesn't start declining.
Not too long ago, Pushbullet got all prettied up for Android 5.0. The app is a great example of a third-party developer coating their software with Material Design dust and spreading it out to users via an update (I'm pretty sure that's how all this stuff works). Now the team has given its browser extensions the same treatment.
The goal is for the Pushbullet experience to look largely the same regardless of where you access it, whether it's the site, the extension, or the Android app.
If you're a Greenify user who recently updated to Android 5.0, then you may have realized something peculiar: it was broken as crap. For me, it would constantly try to hibernate apps, but that wouldn't happen. As a result, it would try again. And again. And again. It literally drained my Nexus 5's battery twice within a four hour window. I was left with only one choice: uninstall it until an update came out.
Before Android 5.0, notifications would display the first few lines of text in the status bar (the ticker), assuming you didn't already have the notification shade open. Lollipop introduces the idea of heads-up notifications, and Google is so smitten with it that you can't even get the ticker anymore. It's heads up, or just the icon in the status bar.
If you've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (or SGN1012014, as I like to call it) on T-Mobile, you may want to head into Settings > About tablet > Software updates and see if there's something waiting for you. Team Magenta started pushing the 4.4.4 update out today, which also brings Download Booster along with it. Fun times.
New Features
- Update to Android 4.4 (KitKat)
- Download Booster
- IPv6 updates
That's essentially the bulk of it right there.
If you are one of the lucky few who were able to place an order for the Nexus 6 from Google or Motorola early on, you might want to check your email. Buyers are reporting their cards have been charged and shipping emails are going out. Interestingly, the phones are shipping directly from Shenzhen, China where they are being produced. These things are fresh off the assembly line.

Who's the One Nesting?
Thirteen weeks.
People have been asking me if my wife has started "nesting" our home yet. And the answer is pretty much "no", being that we're in the process of selling our house. It's a matter of gradually moving all our possessions out of the house, not getting ready for the baby right now.
This past weekend we did a 24 hour road trip to my hometown. (Meaning from the time we left Nashville, until the time we got back, it was 24 hours). My mom has kept my crib from 1981, along with my wooden high chair up in the attic this entire time. It appears she is turning my sister's bedroom into the "grandbaby room"- even my favorite childhood toys are there on display.
It's hilarious. And awesome. My mom is going through a nesting phase. Even if my wife isn't yet.

I also made the trip to Fort Payne this past weekend and discovered the grandmother nesting syndrome must be contagious. My mom insisted we go shopping for baby clothes (even though I don't know for which sex to buy), and my mother-in-law had unpacked baby clothes and shoes that belonged to Rhett – all the way from 1982!

Great Spring Break Getaway.
Our family just spent a week in this rental and had a wonderful vacation. The location is great for taking in the local theme parks or driving to either the ocean or the gulf. The property is very well maintained and had all the amenities needed to make us feel at home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a home to rent in Central Florida. Thanks again!!
Perfect home, perfect location.
I just want to take the time to personally say that we were very pleased with the house in Florida. Words cannot express how much we loved the house and all the amenities. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and in the perfect location for all that we had planned. We were literally 12-15 minutes from Disney. There were fast food restaurants, grocery stores and other outside amenities within 5-10 minute from the house, but living in the gated communiity made us feel secluded and safe at the same time. The house was clean, and spacious. The beds were comfortable and we rested well while we were there. Everyone, a group which consisted of 11 people, was comfortable and impressed with the house. Our family will definitely be back in years to come. Thanks so much, we will be recommending your properties to friends and families.
