The team said on Monday the 31-year-old wife of Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff, a former Williams executive director, would remain their development driver in an expanded role that will include two Friday outings. Williams did not say which race weekends Wolff would be appearing at. "I'm grateful for the support and belief Williams continue to show in me and 2014 promises to be a very important milestone in my career," Wolff said in a statement....

Transferring photos from iPhone
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I've recently purchased an iPhone, and taken over 200 pictures with it, but I can't seem to get them off the iPhone onto my computer. When I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't appear as a drive letter like my other camera does, or even my iPod for that matter. I also can't see anywhere in iTunes that I would go to transfer my pictures back to my computer. I'm using Windows XP. How do I retrieve these photos? It would take far too long to e-mail 200 photos to myself.
- Gord
A: The iPhone uses a new and different synchronization method from the iPod series of devices, and therefore will not appear as an external hard drive in the same way that the iPod does. Instead, the iPhone syncs its content through a special iTunes-specific protocol. This handles the transfer of contact, calendar and bookmark information in two directions, and all other data only from iTunes to the iPhone.
For transferring photos, the iPod will appear to the operating system as a Digital Camera, using a camera-specific protocol that is common on a number of different digital camera models. The first time you connect your iPhone, Windows XP should detect it as a "Digital Still Camera" and install the necessary drivers for it:
In a default Windows XP configuration, once the drivers are installed, Windows will also automatically start the "Scanner and Camera Wizard" to allow you to transfer photos back from your iPhone to your PC:
Selecting "Next" and working through the Wizard will allow you to choose photos from your iPhone that you wish to import, specify a directory to copy them to and how to name them, and even choose to delete them from your iPhone after import:
Once the Scanner and Camera Wizard has finished, the iPhone will remain connected, but instead of appearing as a drive letter, the iPhone will appear under the Scanners and Cameras section in your "My Computer" window:
Note that you can also browse the content of your iPhone's camera folder simply by double-clicking on the "Apple iPhone" where it appears in the "My Computer" window:
From here, photos can be dragged from the iPhone to any folder on your computer manually.
As an aside, for Mac users the standard tool for transferring photos from the iPhone is iPhoto, although Apple's "Image Capture" tool can also be used for simple transfers:
Any third-party photo management applications for Mac or Windows that are designed to import from digital cameras should also be able to detect the iPhone as a digital camera and transfer photos from it using this method. The officially supported applications are Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Photoshop Album for Windows users, and iPhoto and Aperture for Mac users, although any application that supports digital camera transfer should work fine.
One last very important note: If the iPhone is locked with a passcode when connected, it will either not appear as a camera device on your computer at all, or will appear empty (no photos available to transfer). This is a security feature to prevent somebody from getting access to your photos in the event that they get their hands on your iPhone. You must unlock the iPhone in order to transfer photos from it.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi top list of America's most respected brands but it's bad news for Delta Airlines
- Annual survey from CoreBrands evaluates companies based on familiarity, how favorably they're viewed, management, and investment potential
- Answers are pulled from polling 10,000 executives
- Also ranked highly were Hershey, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, and Harley-Davidson
Coca-Cola and Pepsi retained their positions as the most respected brands in the newly released 2014 CoreBrand's survey.
Every year the CoreBrand's consulting firm polls 10,000 corporate executives to find the country's leading brands.
The brands are then ranked by how familiar they are, how favorably people view them, their management, and investment potential.
Coca-Cola topped CoreBrand¿s 2014 list of America¿s most respected brands ahead of rival Pepsi
The Charlotte Business Journal reports that to be considered a company needs to be publicly
Most Respected:
1. Coca-Cola
2. PepsiCo
3. Hershey
4. Bayer
5 Johnson & Johnson
6. Harley-Davidson
8. Apple
9. Kellog
10. General Electric
Least Respected:
1. Delta Airlines
2. H&R Block
3. Big Lots
4. Denny's
5. Best Buy
6. Rite Aid
7. J.C. Penney
8. Capital One Financial
9. Family Dollar Stores
10. Sprint Nextel
traded and tracked by CoreBrand for over five years. They must also have a corporate brand.
The poll begins with 500 companies for consideration then cuts it down to the 100 brands that have the highest familiarity.
Both Coke and Pepsi polled highly, though how favorably people perceive them has dipped in recent years as many now view their products as contributing to obesity, Fortune reports.
Rounding out the top ten were Hershey, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Harley-Davidson, IBM, Apple, Kellogg, and General Electric.
Apple's ranking was of particular interest since CEO Tim Cook is still under pressure to see if he can match the performance of late co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs.
Ironically, thought Family Dollar was ranked among the least respected companies simply becoming a recognized brand is considered something of a milestone by the company itself.
'It is actually a counter-intuitive that they even show up here, as their brand is becoming more powerful year over year,' the report notes.
However it could be more recognized because of headlines last year regarding the brand's sluggish sales.
Assuming they focus on their public perception, the brand should be able to remove itself from the list.
Appearing for the second year in the lest respected spot was Delta Airlines.
J.C. Penney was also ranked poorly, as the company's image was damaged two years ago in an attempt to reinvent themselves as a more upscale brand.
They have since reverted to their prior identity in stores, but their favorability rating hovers at 60 per cent.
Also on the bottom of the list were Denny's, H&R Block, Big Lots, Best Buy, Rite Aid, Capital One Financial, and Sprint Nextel.

Top meets bottom in the Bundesliga on Saturday as champions Bayern Munich host Eintracht Braunschweig at the Allianz Arena.
The odds will be stacked heavily in Bayern's favour, although they have been dealt a blow in the build-up to the clash, with captain Philipp Lahm ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Lahm was forced off 28 minutes into his side's 3-1 UEFA Champions League win at CSKA Moscow on Wednesday, and will definitely miss Bayern's next two fixtures.
He joins an injury list that includes Bastian Schweinsteiger (ankle), Xherdan Shaqiri (hamstring), Claudio Pizarro (thigh), Diego Contento (foot) and long-term absentee Holger Badstuber (knee).
Franck Ribery has missed Bayern's last two games with a rib injury, while a calf problem kept Mario Mandzukic out of the trip to Russia, but both could be pushing to be in contention for Saturday.
If Croatia international Mandzukic is unavailable, coach Pep Guardiola is likely to continue with either Thomas Muller or Mario Gotze operating in a 'false nine' role in attack.
Despite their fitness issues, Bayern have been almost unstoppable this season, and thrashed title rivals Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park in their last league outing to go four points clear at the Bundesliga summit.
Bayern come into the game having won each of their past 17 home fixtures, finding the net 59 times in those outings.
The visitors have picked up half of their eight-point haul for the season on the road, but will take no confidence from their record at the Bavarians, winning none and losing 14 of their 18 trips to face Bayern.
Braunschweig will be without Dennis Kruppke (calf) and Ken Reichel (knee), with Jan Hochscheidt also set to miss out, as he regains fitness after a muscle injury.
Head coach Torsten Lieberknecht conceded beating Bayern will be a near-impossible task for his side, but expects to see a committed performance.
He said: "To call it a Herculean task is an understatement. Worldwide, every team tries to bring Bayern to the brink of defeat.
"However, my guys are tense, looking forward to the game and will not put up the white flag.
"We need to be at our maximum but I cannot ask anything super-human from my team.
"Many opponents have already had many ideas (on how to stop Bayern), but none were enough to get something."

Bjarni Thorvardarson is a rare telecom visionary. He thinks on a level of telecoms at an intercontinental level, rather than a national or local level. Hibernia Atlantic is his current project, and with recent news that the submarine and terrestrial cable system is now in the global media distribution business, he is shaking up the telecom community. An Icelandic native, he has brought his knowledge and skills to the United States, basing Hibernia Atlantic in Summit, New Jersey.
Pacific-Tier: Bjarni, what's been happening with Hibernia Atlantic in the past few years, since I had my last opportunity to visit with you?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: We've actually had a busy couple years – a very busy couple of years.
As you may recall, we started this business by buying a submarine asset that was formerly owned by 360 Networks. We've been busy trying to build our terrestrial network to try and connect this submarine cable to anywhere. We no longer refer to ourselves as simply a submarine cable, but rather a capacity provider in the eastern North America region and in Europe. Less than half of our business is now in trans-Atlantic capacity.
Even though that remains our core competence, and the core of our business, in terms of our business it is less than half of our revenue.
So that is part of the transformation that has happened over the past few years.
In terms of revenue, in 2005 we generated about $2 million in revenue, then $7 million, the $18 million the following year, then $28 million, and last year we generated about $38 million dollars.
And now the target for 2010, with our addition of MediaXstream, is about $75 million dollars in revenue. So, we've been growing about 40~50&, up to 80 or 90% a year. So you see it's a very rapid growth. We are riding on a couple things. One is that we are operating in the biggest capacity market in the world, which is the Northeastern part of North America and Europe. And we are focused on a niche sector, which is the big bandwidth market – which is by itself growing about 40% in volume terms a year
And now, since we still have a relatively small market share, we are growing even faster than the other (traditional) markets (players). That's how we've been successfully growing our revenues.
Last year, in 2009, we were confident for the first time, and we were profitable. We are very happy with the way things are going.
Pacific-Tier: That's excellent! Can you tell me a little about yourself, and how you got into the business of both submarine and terrestrial bandwidth and capacity?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: Sure. I've been in the IT and telco business for about 17 years since I finished my business studies. By education I have a degree in engineering from the University of Wisconsin (At Madison). Later on I added a science degree from the London Business School.
I went into the telecommunications business, and from there into investment banking (around 1998). Then shortly thereafter I started a fund that was investing in telecommunications and IT. That was 1999 into 2001. From there Ken Peterson actually got interested, Ken Peterson was the owner of Columbia Ventures (CVC), got into an investment in telecommunications. He brought a co-investor in with me, and bought the fund eventually. That's how it came about that I started working for CVC.
And I've been investing on their behalf in telecommunications since 2002.
Now one of the investments that we had made was indeed Hibernia Atlantic. That was 2003. Then in 2004 we sold an investment that I was responsible for here in Ireland. Then I took over the responsibility of Hibernia Atlantic. Since 2005 I have been with Hibernia Atlantic, running it for CVC.
That's how it came about that I've been investing and spending my time in telecommunications.
When it came that I was to take on the Hibernia Atlantic project, it was meant to be a 6 month project. We'd see what we could do, fix a couple things, and recruit the right people. It's one of those things that a 6 month window turned into a sliding 6 month window. And during the next 6 months we ended doing something exciting. That's what happens when you get interested in what you are doing.
You see the potentiality, you see what can be done, and you kind of stick around – and so its 5 years now. I no longer refer to it as my 6 month project, I now refer to it as my passion. It's what I do. I've been commuting between Ireland and the US now for the better part of 5 years, and relocated to New Jersey where we have the Summit headquarters, or US headquarters a few years ago. So I am pretty heavily enrolled in the Hibernia project.
Pacific-Tier: That's good. You mentioned earlier the topic of moving from telephony to broadband. Where does Hibernia and your plans fit into what I would call the "globalization of communications," or the "flattening of the communications architecture…" How do you fit into that model?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: Hibernia is very much a long-haul provider. We started in the long-haul wholesale capacity business, so provided the infrastructure provider to other service providers – the likes of BT and France Telecom, Cogent and the like… We did a very good business connecting the biggest consumer markets to places like New York, London, Amsterdam, Chicago, connecting those markets and enabling service providers in those markets to connect to different parts of the world.
Our business is really predicated, it is built on the globalization of business, or the globalization and international movement of information. That was the core part of our business model.
Now since then we have moved on to going up the value chain (if you like) to become the service provider to enterprises ourselves, and begin focusing on the finance vertical, which is a very demanding market. They (financial markets) are demanding and expecting low latency circuits between different trading markets and centers. That was a big first step into the enterprise world.
The next step we took was to the media sector, which we did first when we were acquainted with or partnered up with MediaXtreme, investing in MediaXstream a couple years ago. Then finally culminated in the acquisition of MediaXstream last month. So that's our big step into the media market.
So now Hibernia's approach to the market is threefold:
- We are still very much the legacy we started, which is the wholesale provider to other service providers and telcos around the world
- Second is the finance sector
- Third is the media sector
But they all are very much relying on the globalization of business and people's general view of the world. So we have to look and depend on it.
Pacific-Tier: So in a traditional sense submarine and terrestrial long-haul networks relied on SONET or SDH technologies as the basic (communications) protocol. Is Ethernet playing a stronger role in anything Hibernia is doing now?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: We started providing waves (2.5 or 10 Gigabit) via SDH and SONET as a product to the wholesale sector. For technical reasons including that was the technology Hibernia was built on. And also that was the product the wholesale providers relied on. They need to connect their different POPs (Point of Presence) equipment. A POP in New York, to a POP in London, that equipment relied on and called for SDH/SONET to connect the POPs.
Now as we grow into the enterprise sector, then the guys, the traders, or whoever we are doing business with – they don't have SONET or SDH equipment. They have Ethernet equipment or equipment that calls for Ethernet protocols. So it is incumbent on us to be able to provide that without cumbersome translation from one protocol to another.
So we have since built Ethernet at the core of our protocols. Now we can offer Ethernet over SONET, which is dedicated Ether net point-to-point. And we also built, using H3C equipment, a product that we can connect customer to and point-to-point to multipoint capacity.
So moving from the SONET/SDH world to the Ethernet world, or switched Ethernet is very much what we are doing. I am right with you there that we are phasing out one world and moving to another one. Even the telco providers are increasingly moving into the Ethernet world. Especially when it comes to building out their ISP or Internet networks.
Pacific-Tier: When you see organizations like the Carrier Ethernet Neutral Exchange (www.cenx.com) and things like that popping up that are basically designing their product on the old bilateral telecommunication company design… Do you believe that bilateral Ethernet, or that bilateral carrier relationships still have a role, or will companies like Hibernia make many of those old relationships irrelevant?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: Hibernia, in its traditional sense, is not going to replace bilateral agreements. But bilateral agreements are going to be phased out when it comes to the exchange of Internet traffic, because exchanges are going to replace them. It is like the minutes (telephone settlement) business extremely cumbersome. If you want to build a bilateral relationship with other telecommunications providers you want to exchange traffic with through some of the voice exchanges you can do business in a matter of days.
And that is the same with the exchange of Internet traffic. If you want to do peering on a bilateral basis with companies it takes you years to build up. If you want to do it through an intermediary (such as a public internet exchange Point), clearly it is moving from the bilateral agreements to the exchanges.
Now how does that related to the price a carrier has to pay when going through the exchanges? To transit pricing? Or what have you?
And we can see where these intermediaries are actually charging less and less for the service of being in-between the delivery of the data and the content origination. You can see that in transit pricing, and how transit pricing is continuing to plummet. So I think that we are becoming less reliant on the bilateral agreement. And I firmly believe the opportunity and the necessity of getting more exchanges up and running is important.
And I think the same transition, you can see the same transition when it comes to not only Internet peering, Internet traffic is also the interconnection of Ethernet circuits, the same transition occurred that we saw 50, 60, 70 years ago when it came to voice traffic. If you wanted to make a call from London to New York you had to call an operator in London, and he made a physical cross connect to a long-distance line that terminated in New York.
The operator in New York then made the physical transition to the local tail line to the customer in New York.
That's very much the same as when you are setting up an Ethernet circuit today. You have to build up a physical cross-connect in New York between the local tail provider and the Hibernia facility, and then in London to the tail provider over there.
With INNs and with proper Ethernet virtual cross-connects which are relying on a virtual exchange, or like exchanges that you are referring to, it's going to revolutionize the provisioning and setup time of these Ethernet circuits. We can see a leap in that direction over the next couple years.
Pacific-Tier: One other thing I'd like to ask about Hibernia's role in the Internet and international community in particular. I've been spending a lot of time in developing countries myself over the past year or so. So does Hibernia play a larger role, more than just an economic role,.. Do you also have a larger role in supporting the global community to provide a product that will bring global communications, education, entertainment, media, - can you bring that type of thing to another level?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: I think that when you have a major company, a large company on the global economic scale, then you have to sit back an think about what your global social responsibility is to the world, and what you can contribute to the world. Hibernia is light years away from being at that size, and we can best fulfill our role now by looking for what is our economical role in this world.
Today that role is to provide large scale, high interconnectivity in all the market we operate in at a very attractive price. And by doing that we can contribute to the successful globalization commerce that will facilitate the business which will break down barriers that might prevent doing business, or from offering access to multinational companies.
That's really what I think is our role in the world, to enable companies and people around the world be operating seamlessly as if they were sitting at two desks right next to each other (companies), and thus taking away the physical barriers of being located thousands of miles apart.
Pacific-Tier: If you look at the ideas, of say Carr's concept of the "Big Switch" (Nicholas Carr), where telecom companies, and computing companies, and storage companies actually become nothing more than a huge, ubiquitous utility that people expect. Do you agree with that idea, or do you believe companies like Hibernia should be able to offer much higher value than the idea of a utility "big fat pipe?"
Bjarni Thorvardarson: Well I think everyone has to know which business they are in, and that people can be in more than one business at a time. I say that from experience, because CVC (his prior venture capital company) was in the manufacturing of aluminum, and the manufacture of advanced products that were made from aluminum.
Making or smelting aluminum is very much a commodity business. The success of the business is predicated, or based on you operating a business efficiently. It's about cost, cost, and cost. If the price per pound of aluminum that you smelt is higher than your competitors, you are out of the market. So that's how we operated in the aluminum market.
But we also had exclusion companies. That is changing the aluminum ingot to bars that can be used by manufacturers, and be converted to door frames, and window frames, and converted into materials that could be sold to the end users or consumers.
So we were very much aware of the different needs of the value-added service market and the commodity market.
And I think the telecom business is very much the same. You have to know whether you are in the commodity market, the utility market, and there is a fair amount of utility market in the telecommunications world. I think the core of what Hibernia does is just that. It is a utility capacity between the POPs. It is providing 10G (Gigabit) capacity between London and New York, or London and Amsterdam, connecting all these high capacity markets, and it is a utility market.
You have to be very efficient in terms of how you operate your market.
Then, when you go up to the media market, or to the finance market, it is no longer a commodity market. The trader that is trading between London and New York, he does care about the price he is paying, but even more concerned with no having a second-rate service.
So you have to know which market you are operating in, and telecommunications will remain within the two markets.
Now Nicholas Carr's concept or theory of the "Big Switch" where the world is going to cloud computing as a utility, where you plug into a socket in the wall and you are connected to a network of computing power is a noble one, and a very interesting one, and I think it certainly is going in that direction, but the difference between the bits and bytes, and the electrons that flow on the wires of the utility companies or the electric companies – it is bits and bytes of sensitive information that you do not want leaving the company or be flowing on the wires outside of the company.
So there are many challenges the "Big Switch" theory or concept. But there are a number of companies that are building up a very successful business model. Amazon being one, and a number of other companies offering cloud computing and growing extremely fast.
I am fascinated by the concept and the model of business, but I don't think there is quite the pure cut between computing and the traditional utilities.
Pacific-Tier: Any other vision or looks into the future Hibernia may be able to share as you peer into the next 3 to 5 years?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: I wish I could pretend to have a crystal ball, and say what our visions are, but our vision, really for the near to mid-term future is to continue our growth into the different enterprise verticals. We need to continue to service the market we comfortably define as our core markets, being North America and Europe. That's where we will continue to focus our attention.
But we will to some extent continue to introduce new products that will leverage our network, and continue focusing on different verticals that we can also continue leveraging the network. The game for Hibernia over the next couple years is leveraging the asset. Those assets are not only our network, but also the experience of our company (employees) – the people we have, the processes, and the systems we have. Our competence and the network – that is what Hibernia is going to be not only for the next few years, but beyond.
Pacific-Tier: Do you see any potential partnerships or expansion across other parts of North America or into Asia at some time in the future?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: Without any doubt, I am sure we will find partnerships that will benefit both parties, but it is nothing I can speak about or speculate about right now.
Pacific-Tier: Fair enough! Any final words on Hibernia, yourself personally, or what you see as interesting things happening in the market?
Bjarni Thorvardarson: Not really, I am just enjoying working in this space, and I'm looking at a number of exciting opportunities. M&A opportunities, growth opportunities, and I am just excited to be here.
Pacific-Tier: As we all are, and thank you very much for your thoughts – it has been a great discussion.
Bjarni Thorvardarson:
Thank you! It is my pleasure!

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Apple's new Photos app will recognize 7 different facial expressions
A developer has uncovered how Photos will employ facial and object recognition to generate Moments and yield search results in iOS 10 and macOS Sierra.
A developer has uncovered how Photos will employ facial and object recognition to generate Moments and yield search results in iOS 10 and macOS Sierra.
Mac OS X, OS X, MacOS—whatever it's called, it's about to get a slew of new features, like Siri, overhauled Photos, and more tools for developers.
Those invited to a shared album can now comment and get 'smart' suggestions about which photos to add.
The iPhone 6s has a new and improved camera: 12 megapixels, 4K video recording and Live Photos. But is that enough to rival Samsung and LG's killer camera phones?
Instagram cut ties with Twitter this week, which means your photos will no longer display properly. Here are two workarounds that ensure your Instagram tweets will post unaltered.
Let the games begin: We tested the Samsung Galaxy S7 against Apple's iPhone 6S to see which flagship device is the best overall smartphone camera.
I'm not feeling a lot of love for OS X El Capitan out there. That might not be surprising, given that it's firmly in the tradition of Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard–new-feature-light, speed-and-stability-focused OS X updates.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

|from my art journal, 6.27.16 (gesso, acrylic glaze medium, acrylic paint, archival ink, found papers)
Closure is too final.
To grieve is to first hold loss
tightly fisted to the heart.
There waves of sadness
and longing
overwhelm and silence
our world.
"Are we even living?" we wonder.
And still life pulses
and one day we too
begin to hear
beneath the tumult
of grief, faint
possibilities sounding.
all the while love remained,
opening wide spaces
for kindness and clarity to grow.
To live with loss
is to honor the love
we most grieve.
This moment of grace
helps us to gain
our feet and stand;
helps us to see
why there can be no closure.
