Dominion Voting was proud to be partnering with Elections Alberta for the first time this past October to deliver advance voting tabulation services for four by-elections in the province. Elections Alberta used Dominion's ImageCast Precinct tabulator as the main polling place tabulator, as well as the ImageCast Evolution for voters with accessibility needs.
By-elections were held in four ridings across the province, in Calgary-Foothills, Calgary-West, Calgary-Elbow and Edmonton-Whitemud. Four days of advance voting took place from October 22nd – 25th and Election Day was on October 27th. Elections Alberta staff were trained by Dominion on how to operate the tabulators, and were provided election support for logic and accuracy testing, advance voting opportunities and Election Day.
Before voting began, Elections Alberta invited members of the accessibility community to preview and test the ImageCast Evolution. It was met with great enthusiasm, and offered the option for voters with accessibility needs to vote completely independently and privately.
In past elections, it often took hours to handcount and tally results, but at the close of polls on Election Night this time, Elections Alberta staff were able to quickly and accurately tally the results from the advance polls. A total of 9,698 ballots were cast by electors during the four days of Advance Poll voting in the four electoral divisions, and overall voter turnout hovered between 36-40% across the four ridings. While voter turnout was lower than typical general elections, it was significantly higher than the two federal by-elections held in June in Alberta.
A full report on the by-election is expected to be published in the coming months. Elections Alberta is keen to continue leveraging technology in modernizing the voting process, and Dominion Voting looks forward to supporting this goal.

In the UK, Cape employs 4,000 people and is the largest access and insulation employer in UK industrial services. It helps maintain over two-thirds of the UK's coal and oil-fired power generation facilities and 87 per cent of its nuclear capacity. As you would expect, IT plays a key role in its operations. When the company decided to relocate its UK headquarters, this was an opportunity to refresh and update the IT infrastructure: Cape's UK data centre was also located in its former Wakefield offices, from where the entire centralised infrastructure ran on 35 servers.
"IT is critical to how we operate as a business," says Dave Jones, Head of IT - UK Region, responsible for a user population of 700 across 60 sites. "It's absolutely essential in areas like payroll: we have to pay 4,000 people every week and it's critical we get it right. We can't risk people walking off-site because they haven't been paid!"
In his role, he says that IT has to be seen as a true enabler in delivering against business strategy and helping achieve corporate objectives: "The challenge for me, as Head of IT, is working closely with the business to ensure we're properly aligned - so I can prioritise IT projects and resources accordingly".
'Lift and shift' - or embrace the Cloud?
When the time came to move offices, Cape carefully reviewed the options available. "These included 'lifting and shifting' the whole IT Infrastructure to new purpose-built facilities at other UK sites - although there were no obvious sites and a significant cost would be involved," Jones says.
Jones continues "Second, we could lift and shift to a third party hosted data centre. But we needed around eight racks, so there'd also be a significant cost. The third option was a complete migration from on- premise physical infrastructures to a hosted Cloud solution.
Why Phoenix?
Phoenix already had a relationship with Cape, providing Business Continuity services and hardware break/fix maintenance for a number of years. "However, we did go out with a formal tendering process, initially looking at seven suppliers," Jones says. "But we knew from the outset that Phoenix had the resources and infrastructure in place to provide what we wanted. We also knew Phoenix people had the right skills around our critical SAP environment - the only aspect of our previous set-up that we wanted to physically migrate into the new facility, including a HP server." From a shortlist of two, Phoenix was awarded a three-year contract to host and deliver Cape's IT, in no small part based on the quality of its people. "Only three of the original seven suppliers believed they had the technical ability to support our SAP environment," Jones says.
A smooth transition
Cape's fully hosted solution is, Jones says, "based on best-of-breed technologies that include VMware for virtualisation and NetApp data storage. It's located in Tier 3 data centres that provide us with far greater security, redundancy and resilience than we could ever have afforded in-house." Cape now has a future-proofed IT Infrastructure that's extremely flexible and can be easily expanded to meet changing demand: "We can easily flex up if we require additional computing resources," Jones adds. "The great thing is, we can do this on-demand and at a monthly incremental operational cost, so we don't need to worry about Cape ex constraints. I suppose we have more of a 'hybrid' Cloud approach. It's clear Cloud computing is working out for us, and was the right choice for Cape."
"Phoenix provided us with a highly competent team throughout, from initial bid through the Solution Architects who designed our solution to the Project Manager and technical teams who delivered it. As with any large and complex project, you run into a few difficulties and learn lessons. But I've been extremely happy with the collaboration between Phoenix and my teams in getting issues resolved quickly, with minimum disruption. In fact, I did set expectations with the business of some disruption and, to be honest, we experienced far less than you'd normally associate with a project of this nature." Critically, not one payroll deadline was missed, despite the added complications of migrating over the SAP legacy system.
"It's clear that Phoenix attached all the right resources to deliver the solution we wanted. And the project did not overspend." Another positive outcome, he says, is this project helped drive improved change control in Cape's own IT team. "I knew we needed to tighten this up, and working with Phoenix - with its ISO accreditations, governance and change control processes - really helped us improve our culture internally. That's another win."
We knew from the outset that Phoenix had the resources and infrastructure in place to provide what we wanted. We also knew Phoenix people had the right skills around our critical SAP environment.
Dave Jones, Head of IT Cape
With 19,000 employees worldwide, Cape is an international leader providing industrial services to a wide range of clients, including access, insulation, fireproofing, coatings and cleanings.
Relocate, update and enhance - at controlled cost - business-critical centralised IT services in advance of an office move. This included migrating and retaining an essential SAP legacy system into any new environment.
Cloud-based IT infrastructure services designed by Phoenix and hosted/delivered from a secure Phoenix data centre, including VMware virtualisation technology and NetApp storage. Phoenix also monitors and manages the environment 24/7.
A more secure, resilient and flexible high performance IT infrastructure than Cape could have provisioned in-house, using the latest technology and delivering measurable technical and financial benefits. Phoenix expertise also guarantees support for a mission-critical SAP legacy platform, Cape's internal change control culture has improved significantly, and IT services can now flex on-demand.

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.

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.

I want to develop in Qt, and I already know Python. I am learning C++, so what are the advantages of programming Qt in C++ over Python? C++ seems more complicated, and seems like there is not much gain.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you're planning on distributing your app, it's much easier to deliver a self-contained compiled executable than relying on your end users to install Python and PyQt first. But that may or may not be a consideration for you.
PyQt application will still require python. C++/Qt Application compiles to native exe. By using C++ you'll get access to 3rd party libraries that won't be available in python, plus you'll exterminate "middle man" - layer that sits between your program and qt dlls and potentially you can get better performance. For example, I would not write an archiver or mp3 decompressor in python, although it certainly can be done.
However that comes at a cost - c++ does not have a garbage collector, is much more complex, has "slower" development (compilation time), requires years to master and you'll get better performance only if your bottleneck is in within interpreter (i.e. scripted language overhead). I.e. C++ gives more power at a cost of greater responsibility and longer development time. If you don't need that, then you don't have a reason to stick with C++.
Choice of language depends on your application/situation and your personal preferences. If you need to make application SOON or make a mockup, then it'll be reasonable to use language you're familiar with. If you have serious performance problems, then it'll be reasonable to hire skilled C++ programmer to do the job - make native application, profile it, optimize, etc.
Please note that language is a tool. If you want to use your language for everything simply because you like the language, you're not working efficiently.
Personally, I would not use python for a larger application I'm expected to maintain for a long time. However, this is because the language is not exactly compatible with my mindset (reliance on Murphy's Law) and (as a result) I'm not comfortable with it. Person that thinks differently will be probably much more comfortable with Python and might even think that C++ is too restrictive.
Another thing is that judging from my experience of writing Blender plugins and various python scripts, there's some serious performance overheads that appears because language is scripted, and very heavy list/map/array manipulation that can be performed FAST for free in C++ might take 5x..10x times longer in python. Some people might insist that this can be fixed, however, cost of this "fixing" might overcome benefits you get from using scripted language. Regardless of my preference, I still use Python for making utility scripts that need to run several utilities, split/splice/parse their text output and do something with it (C++ isn't very good at this situations), and I'd still provide Python bindings (assuming Lua is no good) in a program that must be extensible.
In the end it comes down to selection of most suitable tool - if C++ will not give you any benefit compared to Python, then there's no reason to switch.
In short, I believe that unless you have strong performance requirements, you should stick with Python. Also, as Greg mention, your program will be more portable with Python than with C++.
I love C++ but these days, for most project, I mostly turn to Python if not Java. However, if I'm writing a game or a graphics application, I might consider C++.
C++ optimizes machine speed.
Python optimizes programmer speed.
C++ is relatively wordy: more words per idea expressed. Bugs / Lines_of_code is roughly a constant, so concision matters.
C++'s memory management is sometimes manual, which can mean strange runtime issues (http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/checking-early.html) including segfaults and memory leaks. Python takes this out of the hands of the programmer and automates it.
GUI's rarely care about the speed of their implementation language - the main issue is how fast the enduser can type and click.

As you enter Snow Village, the mayor, Mike Burch, meets you at the door.
Burch is also the fire chief, police chief and the city manager of the village, but wearing so many belts isn't too hard for the professional contractor who constructs the teeny, tiny village in his garage every year.
This year, the display is open to the public for a small fee as a fundraiser for Support Sedona Firefighters, a nonprofit, promoted by Burch's wife, Barbara Burch.

Clippers news: David Stern, NBA could stop Celtics-Clips deal
- Updated: June 20, 2013
The NBA's league office is unlikely to approve any trade involving Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers being exchanged for Clippers players or picks, according to ESPN.com.
League officials are believed to have concerns with the way the two teams planned to execute a potential swap, citing the fact that there would be a breach of NBA rules which prohibit side deals or contingencies in any trade. In this instance, it was obtaining Rivers' coaching rights that was belived to be the biggest issue.
NBA commissioner David Stern confirmed the details of the report in an interview on ESPN's The Herd, citing the fact that the coach and players' transactions would each be separate and therefore not allowed to coincide.
"I would say that if we know that what the parties really wanted to do is one [trade] and they're going to break it into two for the purposes of trying to avoid the restrictions that the collective bargaining agreement places on it, we know how to deal with that as well," Stern told show host Colin Cowherd.
Whether or not dodging the rules of the new CBA was a goal of either team is uncertain, but what is clear is the fact that Stern is stepping in and flexing his muscle as it relates to a Los Angeles team for the second time in two years. He famously blocked a Los Angeles Lakers trade with the New Orleans Hornets that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers in exchange for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.
The news on the Celtics-Clippers deal comes just hours after reports surfaced that the two sides were closing in on an agreement that both were satisfied with. The Clippers were reluctant to give up guard Eric Bledsoe in addition to DeAndre Jordan. A re-worked deal was believed to include more draft picks.

Paula Broadwell won't be charged with cyberstalking: U.S. Justice Dept.
Former Commander of International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces-Afghanistan Gen. David Petraeus, left, shakes hands with Paula Broadwell, co-author of 'All In: The Education of General David Petraeus,' July 13, 2011. (ISAF)
The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, December 18, 2012 12:48PM EST
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Justice Department is dropping its investigation into whether David Petraeus' mistress, Paula Broadwell, stalked a romantic rival online.
Broadwell's lawyer, Robert Muse, gave The Associated Press a letter from U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill that says no federal charges will be brought in Florida related to "alleged acts of cyberstalking."
A retired Army general, Petraeus resigned as CIA director in November after acknowledging the extramarital affair, which was exposed after Broadwell emailed Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, allegedly warning Kelley to stay away from Petraeus and Gen. John Allen, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
Kelley reported the emails to the FBI, triggering an investigation that led the FBI to Kelley's emails to the married Allen, who is now under investigation by the Pentagon.
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.

Advice for sleeping with sudden insomnia?
I haven't been able to sleep well for the past week; this is totally out of the blue, as I usually get around 7 hours of z's. I think it's due to stress. I'm averaging around 3 hours on a good night, which is taking its toll on my physical/emotional/cognitive health. I'm actually dreading getting into bed tonight, and would like some advice from MeFites who are struggling with/have overcome insomnia on how I can best rig my chances for possibly sleeping well.

...the cumulative hangover would literally kill me.
Basically, I've been drinking up to two thirds a bottle of liquor (or equivalent) a night for the past two years.

Mind Games!!!!! To help me fall asleep.... Tell me yours

Can you suggest dull and informative podcasts to help me fall asleep?
Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep because I can't stop worrying over issues of the day. I've found that listening to a slightly boring podcast really helps in those situations. So far, I've been listening to history podcasts but I think the technique would work with other subject areas and I'd like to find more such podcasts. I'm looking for intelligent and serious podcasts (little to no humorous banter) on important and/or academic topics. Ideally, the presenters would have monotonous voices and would spend a bit too much time on the dull minutiae, but the subject matter would be sufficiently interesting to help me stop thinking about other issues. I don't want to hear a group of friends or colleagues bantering. I don't want to hear comics interviewing each other. Pseudo-science or woo won't help because I may respond emotionally.

Should I try to get out of this lease?
I recently signed a lease on a new apartment that I'm supposed to move into on January 16. Now, I'm having serious second thoughts and trying to figure out if I should talk to the owner about getting out of the lease. I paid a deposit, but don't mind forfeiting that. I've been looking for a new place for the last four months, ever since new neighbors moved in upstairs. I have insomnia, though my sleep had been ok earlier in the year; it got much worse, though, because the new neighbors are frequently up late talking loudly. Even smaller sounds, like their footsteps on the hardwood floor above me, started to bother me. It's been a huge problem because I haven't slept well essentially since they moved in, and though I tried to talk with them, I definitely want to move. [more inside]
Sedation effect from amitriptyline, does it fade?
My neurologist has prescribed amitriptyline (Elavil) for migraine +/- sleep issues. I took the first dose, 10 mg, last night. Today I am Elmer Fudd. I have felt substantially sedated all day, and this is not ok if it stays! I'm trying to decide whether I should continue with another dose tonight, or discontinue & call the doc on Monday. Dr. Google tells me that the half-life of the drug is 10-50 h., so I'm leaning towards no. So, if you have experience with amitriptyline - is the sedative effect an initial one that fades, or will it stay (or get worse)?

How do you find a psychiatrist anyway?
For the first time in a while, my anxiety is more than I can manage on my own without medication. On top of that, I've had chronic insomnia for over 15 years, not sleeping is a probably my biggest anxiety trigger, and I'm tired of begging my primary care doctor for ambien prescriptions. Twice before I've waited until everything fell apart and I was in a major crisis and dropping out of my life to seek help; I don't want to do that again. I've had quite successful therapy (talk and CBT) before and been prescribed various meds by primary care doctors in the past, but I want to start managing my brain chemistry in a more proactive way. I've never seen a psychiatrist and don't know where to start. Yelp reviews? Standing on the sidewalk with a sign? I'm in San Francisco, I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO insurance, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and real desire not to have another nervous breakdown. What's my next step?
Guided meditation recommendations for kid with insomnia.
My son is almost 9. He suffers from mild anxiety, and very often can't sleep at night. He gets plenty of exercise most days as he plays sports year round. He reads at night, but this doesn't always do the trick. He's a very intense kid, and rather than cut down on the sports (which very often is the source of his stress, even though he loves playing) I'd like to manage the anxiety. I think some sort of guided sleep meditation might be really useful here, and I'd love some recommendations. Most of what I've found so far either is sort of corny and a little babyish, or is not specific to sleep and is more about mindfulness and not as good for relaxation. Thanks!

Help! I can't stay asleep.
Here's what a typical night looks like for me: 1. Go to bed between 10pm and midnight. Fall asleep easily. 2. 3-4 hours later, wake up for no apparent reason. Turn over and (usually) fall asleep again. 3. An hour or two later, wake up again. If lucky, fall asleep again; if unlucky, toss and turn for a while first. 4. Repeat step 3 several more times until morning. 5. Get out of bed at 9 or 10 feeling tired and unrefreshed. The awakenings happen for no discernible reason. I don't have nightmares, need to pee, etc., I just find myself awake. On an average night I wake up 4-5 times. [more inside]

Shutdown Timer 1.0
Seamless installation and plain UI
The installation process does not offer to add or download any products that are not necessary so that Shutdown Timer work properly, and it is over in just a few seconds. The UI you come face to face with can only be described as simple and clean, and it is suitable to all user categories, even those with little or no previous experience with the IT world.
Set up the clock and date
This software utility enables you to program Shutdown Timer to shut down your PC with just a few clicks, by choosing a date with the help of a built-in calendar, and an hour by using the built-in up and down arrows.
It is important to keep in mind that after you click the "Start" button, this tool is going to be hidden from sight. You can only view it running in Windows task manager.
In addition to that, the CPU and memory usage is low at all times, which means that it is not going to put a strain on the computer's performance and you can run it alongside other apps without experiencing any kind of problems. Help contents are not integrated, yet when considering how simple it is to use, it becomes apparent they are not actually needed.
Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say that Shutdown Timer is a pretty decent piece of software, with a good response time and an accessible interface. Nonetheless, the lack of further options might ward off power users, and it has not been updated in quite a while.

Franks Red Hot Buffulo Sauce......
- s
- schrutefarms Oct 6, 2009 04:02 AM
Just bought some today....What should I expect? Tangy? Vinagry? Spicy??? I hope not, as I hate spicy....
re: almansa
We love it and we love wings!!!! But yes... it is spicy! (???) We add some butter to it and then toss it with wings we cook perfectly on a charcoal grill. They taste fried and are totally delicious! With blue cheese and celery...yum! Just another opinion...
re: care11
Tangy and vinagry with some background "heat"...
re: care11
I just want to clarify that I meant Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce - the prepared, ready-to-go version, not Frank's Red Hot sauce, which I love, and use, with butter, for wings at least once a week.
If you're not a spicy person, you might try cutting the sauce with ketchup or bbq sauce. (Hoisin, maybe? I hate to rec that w/out trying it.)
But it's also possible to just go very, very lightly on the Franks. (I'm in the "don't bother w/it" camp - we prefer Louisiana Hot Sauce and butter.)
re: horseshoe
Yeah, I'd be pretty disappointed if a sauce with "Red Hot" in the name wasn't at all spicy.
re: Humbucker
Franks Red Hot is the name brand. I'm hoping to find a buffalo sauce that is more tangy than hot. Do you have any imput on this particular sauce?
re: schrutefarms
What you want is a sauce for wings, not a buffalo wing sauce. Well maybe a chinese style sauce might be what you want. There are tons of recipes for wings on the net. Search and you will find.
re: horseshoe
I am with horseshow on this one. if you are needing a jarred sauce there are some out there. I noticed a few at Whole Foods a few weeks ago, and I have even seen Hooters jarred in mild and hot varieties.
Personally, you are best to make your own as it is easy to control the heat and you have a whopping two ingredient list: hot sauce (of some variety or home made) and butter. Ghee would be a nice alternative.
If you are wanting wings and do not care for spicy, try other flavors of wings. I like to make a large variety on the grill adding sauces at the end of the grilling cycle, adding several layers to char into the bird.
Try these: orange marmalade/ butter (I add cayenne for heat), bbq (hopefully home made), terriyaki, tikka masala, green coconut curry, tandoor (yogurt with spices), miso glaze, ponzu, samjang, pesto, mole even a sauce robert... or any other numerous sauces you might not consider for a wing makes them delightfully special. Why limit yourself to butter and tabasco?
A friend of mine simmers the raw wings in his sauces, the deep fries, then sauces again and then grills. Talk about flavor packed! I just grill and layer.
Anything called "Buffalo Sauce" will be spicy in the same way that Tabasco is spicy. They are all made with hot peppers.
Allright. Went ahead and opened the jar. I used it as a dip with chicken fingers (I should also point out that I'm hungover, so this sounded like a brilliant idea). Def on the spicy side, but I am also a HUGE wimp. I liked the taste, though. And after the fourth or fifth bite, I really didn't notice the heat as much. I wish I could find one a tad milder, but all in all, am pretty happy with Franks.
This recipe has become a staple at our house. I always have some made and everyone requests this when we're invited to a potluck. I use all ranch and mozzerella instead of blue cheese. I find shredded rotissierie chicken works really well. Oh and double the recipe-it's never enough if you make it as is. It's really good with veggies, tortilla chips, potato chips, bread, or by the spoonful. :)
re: jcattles
Daaaaang that sounds good.
re: jcattles
that dip is always a hit at anything we make it for, I brought it to work for something and it lasted literally 15 minutes before it was gone.
re: roro1831
yep, here too- I don't know how many times I've given the recipe out or emailed the link. I ALWAYS double or triple it, it goes so fast.
re: jcattles
We did something similar for the Super Bowl, kept the blue cheese and added fresh jalapenos & serranos. I think we also put cheddar and sriracha. There were people making sandwiches out of it!

The Apple Effect: The Leaders Shall Become Followers
November 07, 2014
Google Wallet reportedly has experienced a sudden surge: Weekly transactions are up 50 percent, and the number of new users has nearly doubled in a month. Obviously, the primary explanation for this sudden leap is Apple's entry into the mobile payments world. It introduced Apple Pay in September and rolled it out officially October 20. Google Wallet has been available since 2011.
The Do-Not-Call List's Maddening Loophole
November 06, 2014
What are you thankful for? Me... I am very thankful that this year's Election Day is finally over! Why? So I can get some peace and quiet in my life once again. I don't know about you, but my phone has been ringing constantly for weeks, and every call has been a political call. All I can say is... ENOUGH ALREADY! I am so happy this election had clear victors. The reason is simple.
Verizon, AT&T Are Watching You
November 05, 2014
The Electronic Frontier Foundation this week renewed its protests against Verizon Wireless' and AT&T's use of supercookies that can't be deleted or disabled to track customers' mobile Web-browsing activities without their knowledge. The carriers' tracking isn't new -- Verizon has been using these supercookies for two years. However, that has not been generally known.
Facebook's Voter Turnout Efforts: Good, Bad or Pointless?
November 05, 2014
In the run-up to Tuesday's mid-term elections, suspicions were rife about the possibility of Facebook influencing the outcome. Facebook had joined Google, Twitter and other high-tech companies in urging people to vote, but skepticism about its motives ran high. In previous elections, it had turned its call to voters into sociological experiments, tweaking its approaches for different groups.
Android Hoards 84 Percent Smartphone OS Market Share
November 04, 2014
Google's Android stole share from all of its major mobile OS rivals over the past year to achieve a whopping smartphone market dominance of roughly 84 percent in the third quarter of 2014, according to a new Strategy Analytics report. Apple's iOS, which weighed in with about 12 percent, lost more than a point of share to Android since the same quarter a year ago.

Hart clarified on Monday that it was not known whether Alsbury or copilot Peter Siebold had moved the feathering lever.
Microsoft Kicks Windows 8 to the Curb
November 04, 2014
Microsoft on Friday ended retail sales of Windows 8, meaning that the only way the much-maligned operating system will be available from now on is preinstalled by PC vendors. Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate are no longer available at all as of Oct. 31, either for direct purchase or preinstalled. Both Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8 remain available preinstalled.
iPad Pro Rumor Comes Up for Air
November 04, 2014
Rumors of a larger-screen iPad 'Pro' have been floating around since early this year. Most have suggested variations on a supposed 12.9-inch screen size. As soon as they rise, though, they're buried by another news wave. The latest to surface is a report in a Japanese tech blog. The upcoming iPad Pro reportedly will have a 12.2-inch screen and not the more widely rumored 12.9-inch screen.

Halloween has come and gone here in the Northern reaches of the Linux blogosphere, but for those of us paying attention, few things could be more frightful than the bloodshed now occurring in Debian's civil war.

Russians Scrap Jobs Tribute Over Tim Cook's Being Gay
November 03, 2014

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare - You Won't Need a Season Pass to Fight Zombies

However, its worldwide debut was not without controversy.
Gallup Poll: Credit Card Hacking Could Happen to Me
November 03, 2014
Over the 4th of July weekend, 82 people were shot in Chicago -- at least 14 died from their wounds. For the year, there were 63 homicides in Oakland as of late October. Philadelphians logged 47 homicides in the first 64 days of this year, two more than were killed in New York City during the same period. Yet results of a recent Gallup poll suggest the threat of credit card theft looms largest.
Defining a Hero: Why It Matters That Apple's CEO Is Gay
November 03, 2014
Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced he is gay. Typically, when a CEO's personal life becomes a major issue, it is a bad thing. I do think this will have an adverse impact on Apple's sales, but I also think it will have a beneficial impact on the world. I'll share my thoughts about why a CEO doing something both controversial and potentially heroic is a good thing.
Cyberattacks Could Wreak Widespread Havoc by 2025
November 03, 2014
The Pew Research Center last week released a report suggesting that cyberattacks in the next 10 years might cause major destruction of human lives and tens of billions of dollars in property damage. However, the situation might not be as overwhelming as the raw numbers indicate, said report author Janna Quitney Anderson, director of the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University.
A Customer Experience Secret Weapon
October 31, 2014
There aren't many areas in business where processes used to save money and maximize deal sizes also result in a better customer experience. The exact opposite is usually the case -- the drive to save money by making an internal process more productive or to increase the amount being sold to the customer usually impacts the customer experience for the worse. A notable exception is CPQ software.
Android Creator Andy Rubin Exits the Googleplex

Rubin reportedly is departing to start a tech incubator for hardware-focused startups.
Apple Pay May Leave CurrentC in the Dust
October 30, 2014
Apple's debut of Apple Pay has been more than a little bumpy, and the company may be in for some additional negative press about its competitive position before the dust settles. However, there is one major factor in Apple's favor that could help it win the mobile payments tug-of-war in the end: time. It's chief competition, CurrentC, won't launch for another few months.
Tim Cook Makes Waves, Creates Ripple Effect
October 30, 2014
Apple CEO Tim Cook on Thursday publicly proclaimed he is gay. While his sexual orientation isn't news, his strong acknowledgment sparked a wave of discussions and drew kudos from his Silicon Valley peers and others. "My first reaction was, 'It's 2014, so what? So many other famous people have come out as gay, why does one more matter?" said technology journalist Mitch Wagner. "But I was wrong."
Snail Mail Surveillance: Rules Are Weak - and Routinely Broken
October 30, 2014
The U.S. Postal Service didn't adequately follow its own rules last year, when it secretly recorded and shared information about some 49,000 pieces of mail to further criminal and national security investigations, according to an audit report from the Office of Inspector General. Information recorded under the service's longstanding mail cover program is limited to what's written on the exterior.
Apple Pay vs. CurrentC: Prelude to the Beacon Wars
October 30, 2014
The current dustup between Apple Pay and CurrentC is a stark, bleak mess. That's not because Apple promises an easier, more secure way of making a smartphone-based retail transaction. Nor is it because CurrentC wants to harvest data on you and provide behavior-bending coupons, incentives and special deals, while cutting out the middleman credit card processing industry. It gets worse.
Give Me That Old-Time Operating System, Apple - It's Good Enough for Me
October 30, 2014
OK, I admit it. I both love and hate Apple's new iOS 8 -- and apparently so do many others, based on the online searches for help I've done. I've had a love-hate relationship with iOS for years. There's much about the new iOS 8 to love; however, I hate that updating to it screwed up so many features I regularly use. What's worse is that Apple does not seem to care.

Mobile Database Management's Coming of Age
October 28, 2014
The push is on for mobile database management tools built from the ground up to run directly inside phones, tablets and wearables. These mobile database solutions are being designed to do what heavyweight open source solutions like SQLite, Cord Data, MySQL and PostgreSQL were not designed to do. Some 4.55 billion people worldwide are using mobile phones this year.
Elon Musk Calls for Preventive AI Demon Wrangling
October 28, 2014
Elon Musk, CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla Motors, among his many roles, this week warned about the threat humans face from artificial intelligence. AI is probably our biggest existential threat, he told students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon," Musk said, indicating that it might not be possible to control it.

With 3D movies like "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" doing well in the theaters, the next step in the rollout of 3D adoption involves driving consumer interest in home theater 3D.
Panasonic is aggressively following up its Consumer Electronics Show (CES) debut of its 3D home products with a national marketing tour that started in Boston recently, and we were able to see what it was all about.
During the event, which was held in the city's upscale Copley Place mall, consumers were invited to see the latest Panasonic 3D televisions, home theater in a box (HTiB) systems, portable electronics, desktop audio systems and cameras.
On hand for the product demonstrations was an entire team of Panasonic employees, including Gene Kelsey, director of retail sales support and training for Panasonic. According to Kelsey, the company decided to show a range of products to demonstrate how they can all work together in home environment.
"These products expand upon what consumers can do in their homes," he explains. "When our TVs, home theater systems and Blu-ray players are connected together, users can control these devices with a single remote."
Kelsey adds that the most popular attractions at the event are the 3D televisions and Web-enabled Viera Cast televisions, which now offer Skype communication capabilities.
He notes that with 3D movies in the theater creating consumer excitement and the ease of use of the Web-enabled TVs, consumers are seeing that these technologies aren't out of their reach.
"Those [3D television and Viera Cast] are the two things that are attracting the most attention," Kelsey estimates. "People are blown away by it. They are seeing 3D at the movie theaters and now they are saying, 'I can enjoy this in my home.'"
