The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

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 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.

Not as impressive as the video makes it look (76 comments)
I've done a little bit of work in a related area, so I skimmed the paper (at the bottom of the first link,) and it's nowhere near as impressive and automagical as the video makes it seem. The user has to provide a mask distinguishing the object they are manipulating from the rest of the image, and then the user also has to provide the 3D model for the object! The model is then smoothed to better fit the original using the mask and the inferred illumination, textured using the image, and then popped out to be manipulated in 3D. Not to detract from how cool this all is, but the user is still doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
I bet a combination of the techniques in this paper and the techniques of multiple view geometry (which is where I've actually done a bit of work) would be considerably more impressive and automagical.

Re:sega channel (75 comments)
God, I wanted Sega Channel so much as a kid. All my friends at school had it, but I lived out in the sticks, where there wasn't cable.
Anyone else remember sega channel for sega genesis? i think 11.99 got me unlimited games on it for the month (granted i only recall 5-8 games on it at a time, and they would rotate every month) Seems like a much better price structure to me. 9.99 a month to play whatever limited rotating catalog is there
You pretty much just described Playstation+. Except it's $49.99 a year (or the $9.99 a month option if you're silly,) and although games are rotated out monthly, once they've been added to your account you can still download and play them as long as you're a member. If I were so inclined, I could go download and play a game that they rotated out of the service two years ago.
App stores compete with the 3DS (203 comments)
Nintendo must also contend with mobile games available on Apple and Google's app stores, which cost but a fraction of a Nintendo game.
Very few console gamers are buying cell phone games in favor of console games. Where Nintendo is competing with app stores is with its 3DS handheld, not really with the Wii U. I'm sure that's still contributing to the big N posting losses, but the summary makes it sound like Mario Kart 8 is losing out to Crappy Mobile Minecraft Clone no. 873.
Peer pressure? (158 comments)
My completely anecdotal non-scientific evidence is that girls interested in math, science, and tech were mostly discouraged by their peers. Communities to support girls and women pursuing tech are great and all, but I feel like for a lot of girls it's going to come down to one very simple question: do I get new hobbies, or do I get new friends? It wouldn't surprise me if a majority of girls choose the latter.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe things have changed since the decade or so since I was a high school student. Maybe it really was just my high school. But my suspicion is that this is still common, and ChickTech is going to have to find a way to solve the peer pressure problem.

Sounds to me like he's just using Twitter the same way everyone else uses Twitter. Why does tweeting about yakisoba make him a remorseless narcissist? He may be that, but regardless Twitter isn't the best venue for heartfelt apologies. I bet he also failed to take responsibility for Mt Gox last time he sent a text or wrote a sticky note.

I don't think that word means what you think it does. In my experience, nerd culture is more about cramming random science-y trivia facts into your skull than it is the dedicated pursuit of knowledge. Might as well say I study the back of the cereal box every morning. (Spoiler alert, they're still after his lucky charms.)
Also, it seems like there's a bit stereotyping underlying your post. Guess what, men are also turned off by constantly being made to feel stupid. They are also turned off by bad social skills, bad physical health, and the inclination to play video games and study all day every day (rather than going out and doing something fun with friends).
I don't think the dividing line here is men/women. I don't know that it's even geeks/non-geeks. Maybe it's closer to extroverts/introverts. Really what it seems like to me is that a minority of people who are dedicated to their hobbies are looked down on by people who pursue those hobbies only casually (or not at all.) Model train enthusiasts are going to have the same problems as video game geeks if they don't throw a little moderation into their lives. It's just that the latter is more common.
Re:Right. (379 comments)
I've got a $30 bluetooth keyboard I use with my Nexus 7.
I looked into that, but I use a lot of specialized software in my work, and Android just doesn't cut it. I could install Ubuntu Touch, but I'd rather install another distro, which isn't easy to do. And 7 inches is friggin' tiny. I'm struggling with productivity on my 10 inch netbook.
The surface seems just about perfect for me. It's a tablet for reading papers when I want it in portrait mode, and I can plop it down and get some actual work done too. Even better, it seems like it's actually pretty easy to install whatever Linux distro I want on it.

Men in Black 3
2012 Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
They are back... in time.
Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back...in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him - secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

I was in my late teens when the first two Men in Black films came out and I really, really enjoyed them. Taking my age into consideration and the fact that it has been ten years since the last installment I really was not sure what I was in for with Men in Black 3. I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised.
While Tommy Lee Jones wasn't in the film for nearly as much as the younger version of Agent K, the filmmakers could not have picked a better replacement than what they found in Josh Brolin. He was pretty believable as a younger, smidgen happier K.
I think what works so well in these movies is that they…
Men In Black 2 was considered a bit of a misfire. Barry Sonnenfeld's decision to resurrect the franchise drew criticism as some saw it as a cash-grab. It might well have had the box office tills ringing, but it was a surprisingly good comeback for Smith & Jones.
The first thing that this film does is show you how to introduce your protagonist. "Boris The Animal" is Rick Baker at his most imaginative. From the off he makes a statement of intent that this will have the thrills and special effects magic that the first film had in spades. That scene on Lunar-Max was quite incredible and I still can't get over the fact that that isn't Hugo Weaving under all…
There are two undoubted stars in the latest Men in Black film - Josh Brolin's uncanny Tommy Lee Jones impersonation and Rick Baker. As with the previous two films, Baker's creature effects work is exemplary, particularly his kitschy '60s influenced creations. Fittingly, given the film's time travel conceit, it feels a movie out of time. Its chalk and cheese buddy cop dynamic and alien conspiracy setting is pure '90s meaning the whole film is a little outdated. However, throwbacks can still be enjoyable if they are entertaining but I'm not sure Men in Black III really is.
It is still bright and breezy but it rarely feels as much fun or as enjoyably imaginative as the first film (I'm still…
It's Men in Black, it's fun, it's better than the 2nd, that's all you need to know. I ordered an omelette, I got an omelette.
Much like Tommy Lee Jones' face, this film shouldn't work, but it does.
Thoroughly entertaining and good, fluffy fun.
Well, it is what it is. It is definitely better than the second, still it's not great but it also doesn't pretend to be a masterpiece.
It is worth it for Bill Hader's Andy Warhol cameo. It's transcendent.

It's a worn out premise to be sure but the story is fun and that almost makes it work. If you forget it's a Men In Black movie and think of it was a time travel action flick then it works better and Will Smith when he's not trying to be goofy "J" is fun to watch.
"Keep in mind, just because you see a black man driving a car, does not mean he stole it!"
"OK, I did steal this one - but not because I'm black."
Didn't expect much; but it was better than Men In Black II. Everything was done well, except that the villain was a little too weak, and just a little was too silly or too fast. But just very little. Good solid movie. I was surprised, and it was great fun.

Best of the three. Awesome ending.
A fun time travel twist sees Agent J travelling back in time to save Agent K's life. Starts out a little on the goofy side, but the film kicks into high gear once we're taken back to 1969. Brolin's doppelganger of Tommy Lee Jones is impressive.
Still not so good even though I like the concept, it´s to conveient and simple. Not bad, nor good.
I really had no intention of ever watching this film again, but I left it on TV while I did other stuff, and essentially watched the whole thing over again. It's actually kind of a perfect "leave on in the background" movie. There's some good jokes, lots of flashy and fun visuals, and it moves along so fast that you don't even realize you watched it. Josh Brolin's performance remains excellent and undervalued.

THE immediate reactions were shock and sadness from across the globe as news of Phillip Hughes' tragic death filtered through on Thursday.
AS the cricket community wrestles with what to do next after Phillip Hughes' death, RON REED writes the first Test against India should proceed, with the result mattering less than the symbolism of playing it.
PHILLIP Hughes' family and Australian captain Michael Clarke have delivered an emotional goodbye after the batsman tragically died from a head injury today.
AUSTRALIAN cricketer Phillip Hughes has died after being struck in the head while batting at the Sydney Cricket Ground. He was 25.
IT is doubtful whether any incident has caused more widespread grief in Australian cricket than the loss of one of the game's most likeable characters.

Beyoncé - Partition (Remix)
Artist: Beyoncé
Featuring: Busta Rhymes, Azealia Banks
Producer: Timbaland, J-Roc, Key Wane
Album: Beyoncé
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 8 votes )
In addition to offering listeners an unprecedented level of insight into the pop songstress's erotic adventures, Beyoncé's latest full-length has helped liven up the sex lives of many of her fans—including ones as prominent as Busta Rhymes. In the opening bars of this unofficial remix of standout cut Partition, the East Coast veteran announces, "My girl like Beyoncé; me too. / This what me and her be doin' in the back of the Maybach when we listenin' to Beyoncé." After Buss-A-Buss laces Timbaland, J-Roc and Key Wane's staccato synth beat with the racy details, Interscope spitter Azealia Banks grabs the mic for a middle verse more concerned with lucre than getting it in as such. ("If these n**gas wanna spend they cheese, then tell 'em hit up Miss AZ.") How about it, readers: has the added guest muscle elevated this remix above the album version? Debate away. If you haven't already copped the set, you can find the latter on Miss Carter's Beyoncé LP, available now in stores and online.

On the next episode of CBS's UNDER THE DOME titled "Reconciliation", Julia takes over as the leader of Chester's Mill after the town becomes divided in the wake of Big Jim and Rebecca's plans for population control. Meanwhile, Joe and Norrie help Melanie search for more clues about her identity at the Dome wall.
The episode airs Monday, July 28 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Get a sneak peek below!
UNDER THE DOME, based on Stephen King's bestselling novel, tells the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. It's been two weeks since the dome descended upon the sleepy town of Chester's Mill, whose inhabitants are still struggling to survive with resources running low as their search for answers to what the barrier is and where it came from continues. The post-apocalyptic conditions intensify while the residents must decide who to rally behind as new faces emerge and Big Jim continues to battle for the town's trust and allegiance. With survival hanging in the balance, can the residents of Chester's Mill work together to protect their uncertain future?

LiveMint recently ran an article, "India hedge funds outperform, but investors remain sceptical." (link)
I don't have access to the report quoted in the article and I am not sure if the returns are after fees and profit-sharing. But what is surprising is that these funds under-performed a basic, un-levered, momentum strategy. In the same period, our Momentum 200 Theme is up 61.54% and you can take all of it to the bank.
If you are charging 2 and 20, you should do better. Besides, most of them haven't been through a down-cycle. And yes, Momentum will totally get crushed in a down-cycle, but at least investors know what they are getting into. For all you know, hedge funds, being the black-boxes that they are, could be just long momentum.
Turns out investor skepticism is warranted after all.

The Hoops Inn has a well deserved reputation for fine food and drink and we are constantly working to develop and even improve on the fare we offer to our customers.
We endeavour to use high quality, local produce & suppliers including locally reared meat, locally caught fish and locally produced cheese and beer wherever possible to give our guests a true taste of the Westcountry.
Our restaurant can accommodate up to 50 diners, while the bar area seats 72 and the courtyard has space for 100 people in the Summer. We have ample free car parking (over 100 spaces) for our customers off the main road behind The Hoops Inn.
Private dining rooms are available if required.
"My husband and I recently stayed at the Hoops for two nights. I wish we could have stayed longer !
We stayed in room number 2. It is a suite with a four poster bed and a jacuzzi, tv, settee, coffee making facilities, it's just beautiful. So relaxing, clean, warm and cozy. Wonderful for a romantic couple of nights away!
I have never, ever slept in such a comfy bed! It was the most amazing night's sleep ever!
The food is wonderful. the staff are soooo friendly and welcoming, chatty and helpful. I cannot fault this inn.
You can walk through the car park onto a coastal path, with beautiful views . We walked to a picturesque village called Bucks Mills. It was very pretty, tough going at times but mostly because it was wet and muddy.
We drove the next day to clovelly, a couple of miles away. you have to pay to go into the village - £6.50 per adult - but it worth it. Again it is quite hard going, steep with cobbled stones but very pretty.
I would recommend a visit to the hoops... it's just perfect !" Nov 2012

After evaluating and deploying a number of content management systems over the past five years, I guess I've become a bit jaded. Frankly, they all just started to look the same. To be sure, each one has core strengths and weaknesses. Each is usually geared to fit a certain vertical market (education, for example), and many have similar levels of functionality. All of them have significant usability issues - particularly when authoring content that requires HTML tables.
So when I was asked to write a review of LayerIT CMS (priced at $2,695 for the enterprise edition), I expected to find another run-of-the-mill low-end system that wrapped a minor bit of code around a third-party WYSIWYG editor. What I discovered was an innovative, technically sophisticated, easy-to-use content authoring system that may someday be a real force to be reckoned with.
What Is a Web Content Management System?
A good CMS enforces business rules and facilitates the addition and editing of content on a Web site. Typical features include the ability to modify content through a Web browser based on a series of templates, full-text searching, approval workflow, security, data versioning, and library services. The goals of deploying a CMS include, but are not limited to, pushing the task of Web site authoring down to the original content authors, ensuring consistency in the site branding through the use of templates, keeping content up-to-date, and making content easier to locate for both contributors and end users. Oddly enough, price does not necessarily correspond to features or quality in this particular market segment of computing. Frequently, less expensive products yield better results than those positioned for the "enterprise."
To Boldly Go Where No CMS Has Gone Before
One of the most common complaints I hear from CMS content contributors regards the overall usability of their systems. In particular, users have a difficult time with content layout - largely due to the morass of table-based positioning. LayerIT eschews the traditional CMS authoring model of using table-based formatting in favor of the long-ratified W3C CSS positioning standards. Content is generated following XHTML guidelines and wrapped by <div> tags that stipulate x, y, and z coordinates on a page.
As depicted in Figure 1, positioning content is a simple matter of using LayerIT's drag-and-drop DHTML-based interface. I found the content creation experience to be not unlike using Microsoft Publisher, whereas most other Web CM systems follow a Microsoft Word-centric approach to authoring and placement.
Worship at the Altar of Dan Steinman
Many facets of the authoring environment even functioned correctly in Netscape 4! Entering WYSIWYG content, however, remains browser-specific as LayerIT utilizes the SiteObjects editor (www.siteobjects.com), which does not support Netscape. Content generated from LayerIT displayed identically in all browsers tested.
Preventing Use of the <BLINK> Tag
Templates are created in LayerIT using the same authoring mechanism that's used to create content. No programming is required. It uses a metaphor that's usually found only in more expensive content management systems - treating templates as virtual transparency layers. If any template "layer" is modified, all pages that include that layer will reflect the change. This design is much more flexible and maintainable than using the single, monolithic template approach found in most CMSs. It also ensures that specific aspects of a site's branding will always remain intact, despite the desires of the amateur "designers" on your staff.
WISINWIW - What I See Is Not What I Want
As previously mentioned, LayerIT uses the SiteObjects Lite 2.5 editor (soEditor Lite 2.5). The integration of this component into their overall framework seems far from complete, however. There is no way to restrict access to WYSIWYG features for "challenged" users. Furthermore, I was shocked when my attempt to insert an embedded image into the WYSIWYG field was met with a generic image dialog box instead of a popup referencing the LayerIT asset repository. Furthermore, the editor is completely unaware of CMS-based pages when attempting to create a hyperlink between content.
Repeat After Me: 'It Wasn't Me...I Didn't Do It'
My evaluation version did not contain any versioning features; however, LayerIT has implemented this functionality for their next release. Planned functionality includes the ability to preview the current work-in-progress page, published page, and all prior versions of a page.
'If the Code Don't Fit, You Must Decrypt!'
Source code for LayerIT is encrypted; however, they provide an extensibility model for adding custom ColdFusion code. You can drop a reference to a custom ColdFusion module anywhere on a page. The output from the script will render within LayerIT's generated
Conan the Librarian
Library services, or the ability to upload, search, and deploy non-HTML content items such as images, are limited in this release. As depicted in Figure 2, while you can upload any document type into specified directories, there is no additional classification scheme that can be applied to the files. I suspect that this UI would start to become ungainly once hundreds of images were uploaded into a production system.
Worse still is LayerIT's "insert image" feature which takes all .gif and .jpg files and unceremoniously drops them into a single drop-down box from which the user must make his or her selection.
Content Approval and Security
Content approval and security have been implemented as a rigid, six-level hierarchy. Users may be assigned the following rights and each succeeding level inherits the rights, of those above it:
1. A READER can only view published pages
2. A CONTRIBUTOR can edit existing pages
3. An EDITOR can create, edit, and delete pages
4. An EDITOR II can create and edit templates, and edit the CSS
5. A DEVELOPER can create and initiate portlets
6. A PUBLISHER can approve pages for publication
This scheme should suffice for organizations that require only a single level of approval prior to publication. Pages can be marked for either anonymous login or member login.
HTML Is Good
The product allows you to create static HTML files from the dynamic content. This feature is typically found only on high-end content management systems and has a direct impact on scalability and portability of the site. Back when I was in the hosting business, we had an old P-90 that would regularly serve up 100K HTML page views a day. Unfortunately, I could not verify this particular feature as it failed when tested with an HTTP server 500 error.
I Am Not the Center of the Universe
I freely admit that I am an "ugly American" when it comes to localizing my applications for a non-U.S. market. Working with LayerIT reminds me that in order for an application to succeed on multiple continents, some attention must be paid. At the time of this review, all documentation for the product was in Norwegian; however, an English translation should be available by the time you read this. More regrettable is that while the system can automatically output the last updated date on a page, the list of formats does not include mm/dd/yyyy.
Fill in the Blanks
LayerIT shows remarkable poise for being essentially a 1.0 release. However, there are a number of issues with their architecture that could prove to be show-stoppers for those of you interested in the product. In particular, there appears to be no direct support for generating "printer-friendly pages." Also, the system utilizes a URL-based approach for distinguishing content. For example, the home page of my sample site is accessed through the following URL: http://localhost/layerit/index.cfm? pageID=2, while a different section page is displayed by typing this URL: http://localhost/layerit/index.cfm?pageID=23.
This URL-based data representation scheme can be difficult for Internet search engines to catalog appropriately and has been abandoned by higher-end CM systems in favor of more traditional "human readable" URLs. The lack of deep integration with the SiteObjects editor is particularly troubling.
I Could Have Been a Dentist...or a Doctor...or a Journalist...
One of the great "life lessons" that I have learned is that an innovative use of technology does not necessarily guarantee market success. In fact, sometimes the relationship between the two is inversely proportional. While LayerIT has a strong technical foundation for being a force in the CMS world, at the time of this writing they have but six commercial customers. Most established players have over a hundred. The company officially launched in February of this year, so there is a bit of risk associated with their "staying power" in the marketplace.
LayerIT is a dichotomy. While conquering the battle for creating a highly usable interface and embracing CSS positioning, its weak implementation of the WYSIWYG editor seriously compromises its usefulness. While striving to include high-end features like HTML generation, it contains a pedestrian implementation of library services. Considering its price-point, however, much of this is forgivable. For those of you on a tight budget wanting to deploy a CMS, LayerIT is certainly worth considering. I anxiously await their "official" 2.0 release that should clear up many of the issues I encountered. Then it may actually qualify as a "best value" for low-end CMS implementations.

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.

WASHINGTON -- The world has changed a lot since incoming college freshmen have been alive.
Beloit College has released its annual Mindset List, which looks at the cultural experiences and touchstones shaping the view of the world of the college class of 2018.
"It looks at how their worldview differs significantly from their mentors and even from people just a few years older than they are," says list creator and co-editor Ron Nief, the Wisconsin college's director of public affairs emeritus.
The Mindset List was originally created as a reminder to faculty to be wary of dated references, and has become a popular catalog of the quickly changing perception of each new generation.
Students in this year's list were generally born in 1996.
They were born after Tupac Shakur, JonBenet Ramsey, Carl Sagan and Tiny Tim were already dead.
"They were only a couple weeks into kindergarten when they saw the endlessly repeated images of planes blasting into the World Trade Center, and the horrors that followed it," Nief says of the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
On a less-serious topic, while previous generations saw round glasses and thought of Beatle John Lennon, "now, generally, it's Harry Potter," says Nief. "He's become an icon of that generation."
Nief says the differences in technology are very evident when young employees are trained on office phone systems.
"You tell them to press 'press pound,' and they look quizzically, until they explain 'hit hashtag,'" says Nief.
The Beloit College Mindset List for the Class of 2018
- During their initial weeks of kindergarten, they were upset by
endlessly repeated images of planes blasting into the World Trade Center.
- Since they binge-watch their favorite TV shows, they might like to
binge-watch the video portions of their courses too.
- Meds have always been an option.
- When they see wire-rimmed glasses, they think Harry Potter, not John
- "Press pound" on the phone is now translated as "hit hashtag."
- Celebrity "selfies" are far cooler than autographs.
- The Daily Show has always been the only news program that really "gets
it right."
- Hard liquor has always been advertised on television.
- Ralph Nader has always been running for President of the U.S.
