So I have been doing research into multithreading for no reason other than curiosity and I have noticed something which I'd like to bring up.
The best way to multithread any software, apparently, is data-decomposition. As in instead of putting subsystems on different threads, you break up the processing of one subsystem into multiple jobs to do concurrently, scaling to n number of threads.
This is all fine and dandy, but say if you were to do this to the physics system, my logic would be to break it up so for n threads divide the number of objects by n and give each thread a group of objects to update. Then you would have a situation were conflicts would occur. Say object A collides with object B, but A and B are being updated at the same time on separate threads. Problem.
Another example is for updating game logic on gameObjects. What if object A is dependant on the health of object B. But again, they are being updated on different threads.
Now I know the simple answer is, minimize interaction and communication between objects, however this is not always going to be good enough, especially in physics, since object interaction is critical to the function of the system.
I have not worked on a game were objects never have to talk to each other, so how do you get around this problem when designing a multithreaded game?

Visual Minutes – recording our Customer Conference
You may have seen our recent blog on the planning for our Customer Conference. The event was a great success, with a record number of customers in attendance at Kings Place, London.
Qube SLM: Staying ahead of the game
The mass hysteria caused by the launch of the iPhone 6 a couple of months back proves people's desire to have access to the latest technological advancement is as strong as ever. As a software company, we know this better than anyone.
CEO comment: What does the "Global" in Qube Global Software actually mean?
The name of our company – Qube Global Software – is very deliberate and we're very clear about what it means about us as a business. It refers primarily to our position as a provider of global solutions, rather than a network of global offices. This is in part a response to the globalisation of the real estate industry, not just in terms of the way portfolios are developing but also the growth of global service providers – many of which we support with our solutions.
CEO update: Business continues to perform well
Following this year's Customer Conference – which proved a huge success – and recent publication of our Annual Report, it seemed like a good time to jot down a few thoughts on where we currently stand as a business and where we think we're headed.

Would you want to find out you have skin cancer by reading the diagnosis in an e-mailed copy of your electronic medical record? Of course not. Nobody would.
Most doctors are also shocked by that possibility. They much prefer to deliver the news in person so they can fully explain the diagnosis and provide some treatment options and comfort.
As the Health and Human Services Department gets ready to hand out $17 billion for developing electronic health records, one of the areas that needs further study is whether and how to regulate how patients get their digital health records. Under the recent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published Dec. 30, 2009, HHS requires that patients get access to their records. However, the department didn't provide much detail about the specifics.
Patients might be in for some unpleasant shocks if they have unhampered access to their records for the first time, according to an interesting report from Fred Schulte at the Huffington Post Investigative Fund.
With all the emphasis on giving patients access, there will still be lots of questions about how to do it right. I've written recently about information therapy principles and about the Hl7 standard for how and when to provide the information. But it's still just the beginning of this important discussion.

There are three favorites that are still getting a little playtime as new inductees into the National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York.
CANYON ŌĆö SweetwaterŌĆÖs football team was seriously tested on Thursday for the first time since it defeated Monahans three weeks ago to clinch a playoff berth.
The Mustangs trailed in a game Thursday for the first time since that 63-34 win, as Perryton led 7-0 in the opening minutes.

BIG SPRING ŌĆö For the first three quarters, Roscoe and Wink went back and forth at each other on the scoreboard ŌĆö the Plowboys answering ever Wildcat TD with one of their own.
But Roscoe, which led after each period, wound up on the losing end of a 36-28 decision in a Class 2A, D-II bi-district contest.
Roscoe (5-6) held leads of 14-6, 21-14 and 28-22 at the quarter breaks.
The Roscoe girls basketball team led 7-5 after one quarter of its season opener on Tuesday, but Robert Lee dominated the middle two periods to win, 37-28.

Mia Herrera was the top scorer for Roscoe with nine points while Sunshine Saddler finished with eight.
Samantha Ortega scored five points, and Dani Dean and Selena Perez both finished with three points.

With the Saturday, Dec. 6 production, Nolan County residents can enjoy the classic holiday tale during the one-night only event at the Sweetwater Municipal Auditorium.
The Nolan County Food Pantry was the recipient of a giant donation this week.
More than 200 employees at the United States Gypsum (USG) plant in Sweetwater collected over 10,000 pounds of fare in its first company-wide food drive after the donation was given to the pantry earlier this week. Dozens of workers at the plant helped load the massive haul, which required a flatbed trailer to move it.

Oakdale High School's wrestling program made a big splash during their first ever appearance at the Morning Star Invitational in Los Banos on Dec. 22.
Eighty-one high school wrestling teams from across the western states converged on the 64-man brackets of the prestigious two-day Sierra Nevada Classic in Reno on Dec. 27 and 28.
Oakdale High's lanky guard/forward, Kylie Gust, is the Dirk Nowitzki of Lady Mustang hoops. Her exploits were a bright spot during the OHS girls basketball program in the 2011-12 season and she has already made a big impact this year. She drained two threes and landed a team-high eight points as Oakdale rallied to a 37-23 win over LeGrand on Thursday as the varsity girls captured their second win of the season. Gust will be a key factor in Oakdale's success moving forward this season.
Valley Oak League girls basketball teams that saw Oakdale High struggle to a winless 2011-12 campaign may expect more of the same from the Lady Mustangs after learning of Oakdale's preseason struggles this year.
The miracle of social networking provided the platform for a miracle for the Oakdale High marching band this past week.
Oakdale High varsity boys basketball coach Jeremy Fields had a hunch the football team was in for a long postseason when he scheduled most of his preseason action for late in the year.
The deeper a football season goes, the larger a toll it has on winter sports programs.
With a host of wrestlers still competing on Oakdale High's state-bound football team, the Mustang program is missing some serious depth.
The last non-pigskin selection for the Oakdale Leader Athlete of the Week this fall belongs to Oakdale High's varsity volleyball team. The girls bested Pioneer in four games to advance to the second round of the postseason, adding prestige to a terrific season that included a co-Valley Oak League championship.
Some postseason magic carried eighth seeded Oakdale High to a spirited 3-1 rout of No. 9 seed Pioneer in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs on Nov. 6, but happy thoughts couldn't do the trick in a 3-0 loss to No. 1 seed Oakmont two days later.
Chasing a five-goal deficit in the fourth and final period of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championships water polo finals, Katie Vanderburg and Emily Stolken connected with stunning scores within a one-minute span to open the door for a possible Oakdale High comeback.
The first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II girls water polo playoffs wasn't particularly kind to Capital Valley Conference No. 3 seed Del Campo, who fell 17-7 to Valley Oak League champion Oakdale on Saturday, Nov. 3 at Whitney High.
If Oakdale High's varsity boys soccer team had any questions on the type of game to expect from a Central Valley team in search of its third trip to the Sac-Joaquin Section finals in four seasons, they certainly had them answered quickly on Oct. 30.
Despite the tiebreaker that forced the Lady Mustangs to enter the 2012 Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs with the lowest possible seed, Oakdale's girls tennis team didn't go down without a fight. They ended their season with a 5-4 loss to Whitney on Monday, Oct. 29 in the opening round of the postseason.
For the third consecutive season, the Oakdale girls are perfect in the pool.
It was a mixed week for the varsity tennis team, as the girls faced a pair of Valley Oak League (VOL) teams, suffering a tough 5-4 loss to Manteca on Tuesday, Sept. 23. They regrouped and earned a 7-2 victory over Weston Ranch on Thursday, Sept. 25.
The 2014 Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach is this weekend, Sept. 26 through 28 and at least one local golfer will be on the links. Fans and spectators will be treated to viewing celebrities, pro golfers, most likely enjoy great weather and also get to see local golf phenom, Mabel Wong.
The Valley Oak League's first cross country meet of the season was hosted at Legion Park in Modesto on Wednesday, Sept. 17 and featured an outstanding effort from the Oakdale Mustangs.

OK, here goes. I finally was able to get time to take more pics hoping that these items can be identified.
I really like the tall one (vase or spooner) but there seems to be a defect on it. The second picture shows the defect. You can feel the difference in thickness when you rub your finger over it. 3 sides have it in different spots.
Let me know if you need any more info or pics.
Is anyone else running into this same issue? I was in the middle of listing a item a few minutes ago and when I hit continue to finish the listing, the page went down. This is what popped up

I have been caught up in this scam of purchasing counterfeit Younique 3D Fiber Mascara and there are hundreds upon hundreds of fake sellers out there.

Here is an example of what it should and should not look like...

I mailed a package by 1st class mail on Wednesday Nov 19. Expected delivery was Saturday Nov 22. Tracking had showed item departed left sort facility shortly after midnight Thursday Nov 20. That was the last status I saw from Thursday through Saturday evening. I was wondering where it was since there had been no updates as of the expected day of delivery. Now Sunday Nov 23 tracking shows departed sort facility Saturday evening Nov 22, two days after the first time it supposedly departed.

Today, I visited a personal friend of mine at the jewelry shop he owns. I'd gone in there to get a wedding set repaired and to replace its faux stone with an emerald. A planned 30-minute visit turned into a 4.25 hour visit and lunch. *grin*
When I visit, I often bring jewelry which I find interesting and unique. It's a thing we have, this gawking and talking about jewelry and gems. Sometimes, I consign some of his older stock on venues to get it moved out (more of that in another post). He knows many things I don't in regards to fine jewelry, and my wealth of knowledge in costume jewelry often comes into play when I look at things that have been brought to him.
Today, he gave me a gift: several pieces of Rostov finist jewelry. The bracelet has no assay marks, but the earrings do have an assay mark. All are lovely. They were given to me as a blessing, and I'll be quite honest: I'm in love with these pieces.
If anyone can tell me anything about this type of jewelry or can translate the tag, I'd greatly appreciate it. All of the pieces have the original Russian tags.
Hello all x
I just wondered if anyone knows who this Tammy clone is please? Does she have a name? She was made from the Tammy mould, I can see very faint impression on the nape of her neck, bt her only markings are made in Hong Kong on her back. Apart from her horris hair and her rough seams, she's a very well made doll.
I have looked and can't find a clone that was actually made from the same mould. Has anyone seen one like this before? Thank you all ( I have redressed her )
Hope my pics aren't too big, I selected medium but they look huge
I hope I am in the right place, I am completely turned around with the way the boards are now. Can anyone help me with this pattern please? It's on a small vase I have. Thought it was a tea leaf but I think I am wrong. Thanks!
Measures about 2 3/4" in diameter and has a 1/2" opening on each side. Is it some kind of buckle? Thanks for help!
I did this about 10 years ago. At that too much was going on in life and sales was not good enough to mitivate me to put any time in it. I lasted about one year. Mostly just paid the rent and the cost of merchandise.
Now I want to try it again. I just secured a booth of size 12x15 feet. The rent is $1 per square foot. I also bought a few bookcases from a dealer in the mall.
The idea is of couse to sell books that are otherwise not sellable online. I know that it involves a lot of time to do this.
Pros? Cons? Experience?

This is my find for the day. It has very high quality matte hand painted decoration. It actually reminds me of some the American arts & crafts makers, like Rookwood and Newcomb. I'm not sure what to make of the subject matter, ladies running silhouette. I'm almost certain the mark within the square is the signature of the artist or company. I've search gotoberg and couldn't find anything. Measurements, 6.5" tall and 5" diameter. Any thoughts as to maker or age are greatly appreciated.
Hi Everyone,

Working through some old lace and fabric pieces and would love any help you can give me concerning lace names and whether handmade or not. My eyes see most of these items as being handmade.

Any help you can give me would be very appreciated. Photos show front and back of lace.

Can anyone help me with what this pressed pattern brass plate is for? Looks like a light switch plate, but does not have the standard two screw holes other plates have. Where the switch would go is fairly deep, so I wondered if it may be a switch plate to protect a switch someone does not want to easy turn on or off.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I did a "Completed Listings" search and it appears that Antarctic Covers do get much interest.
I did notice that a lot of them were philatelic (not addressed and sent through the mail).
Would that make much difference?
Here's one.
Is it worth listing?
OK...I had the name for this about 3 weeks ago...now can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know?
Have these two and there aren't any identification marks on them. I was hoping someone could help me either ID them or help discribe what material they're made out of? Would these be considered slush cast? Cast Iron? Not sure. Also, I'm guessing these are c. 1950's, any help dating them would be super!

Hi my name is Bil I have an eBay store but I'm not here to talk about that. I want to share pics of my angel Gracie Lynn. She is part Chihuahua part Yorke. She has a very calm natural temperament and she is very loyal and affectionate. She is an angel in disguise as she makes my life a little more livable.
I posted this on the antiques board not knowing that this board existed, and the good folks there sent me here. Hope someone can help with this art work. I don't know anything about art, but for some reason I really like this.
The artist is Hiroshi Kimura, and the piece is dated 2004. Research shows he's in the New York area, but I can't find where any of his works have sold. It appears to be OOC on a 1 1/2" thick wood frame. It looks to have been varnished (if that's the correct term) with a yellow coat of something, or maybe it's just yellowed with age? Size is 14 1/4" square.
On the yellowing--I tried cleaning it with a magic eraser and the yellow didn't budge, so I don't think it's on top of whatever sealer is on the piece. it's sealed (or topcoated?) with something, and the yellow appears to be either part of it or under it.
Thank you for your help!

I am not sure exactly what this is or how to describe it. The backround appears to be silk with the backrounds of the different objects painted onto it with stitching or embroidery over those. I can't find anything identical but some that appear similar. I don't think it is especially old and its probably a tourist type item, but the images and colors are very nice and quite vibrant. I would appreciate it if somone out there could give me an idea of what exactly it is called. I don't know if it is embroidery or refered to as something else. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have this photograph that was doctored up the old fasioned way, probably before Photoshop. I can't get anyone to agree on who the Ventriloquist dummy is depicted on it.

Any help will be appreciated.

I found this Chinese? Japanese? mask at a thrift store & bought it because I've never seen one like it. It is made out of clay? Chalkware? - there is white where a small nickin the mask is like chalkware, but it is a lot heavier and just feels sturdier than chalkware. It measures 14.5" long.
What is this & what is it made of?
Another reason I bought it is becaise I was hoping it is an antique - looking at the wear around the hook where it would hang on a wall, can someone roughly tell me it's age?

Looking for a little help here. I was out checking out some thrift stores this morning and came across these boots and now wondering if they are genuine or not. They have been worn but in great condition for the price that I did pay for them.
Good morning, I have these 2 matching 3 1/4 inch long coinsilver pictureback spoons which I believe are American Coinsilver. They have a nice floral picture on the backs and beveling on the fronts with AW in fancy script for the monograms. These seem like 1780-1810 pattern items to me. They are the same basic form as my John Meyer dove back spoons which are 1780-1820ish Philidelphia. They might be David Mygatt who worked Danbury CT and later New York ca. 1804. I might already have this solved, however, I know better than to assume to much.
OK, all the regulars here know I am a Victorian Sash pin maven, I LOVE them! So, I won a lot last week that had a sash pin in it that looked strange to me in the photos, but I bid on it anyway (keeping the wonky look in mind) and won. Got the lot and there is this poor, sweet, brass sash pin covered in a layer of silver spray paint!
At least they had the good sense to remove the stone first!
But what I want to ask is what is the best way to remove the paint? Should I start by soaking in water? Or should I go right to paint stripper? It looks fairly recently done since the painted surface is in good shape - lucky me
Here is a photo of my poor, painted sash pin (yes, they very nicely painted the back also!)
Hi! Can anyone tell me anything about this nice hand painted bowl? I saw several Acoma pots that had similar very detailed geometric designs. This one has some age to it. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is Acoma pottery and the approximate age? Here are the pictures....

This one is for James
I recently received a shipment of 8 internal hard disk drives listed by an eBay seller as "new."
I contacted the seller, giving three reasons why I thought the drives were not actually new as produced by Western Digital, but were drives that had been removed from WD My Book USB external hard disk drives.
The most important reason is that the serial numbers of the drives are associated on the WD support website with the My Book devices, not with internal hard disk drives.
The seller's response does not include an admission of deception.
However the seller has offered to refund the purchase price and shipping charges and provide a return shipping label.
Is it too idealistic to demand that this deceptive listing practice be stopped? Is negative feedback justified?
Is there a better way to help other eBay buyers avoid this kind of deceptive listing from this seller?
Ebay gives me a shipping ding!
I ask CS (in Utah) if my customer leaves feedback confirming delivery would ebay take the strike off ~ NO
The system can't do that she says.
I ask why the customer doesn't have an option to click that would confirm delivery or pickup
She says sellers would harass buyers that didn't leave feedback, I explain it's not a feedback issue.
It's the ability for a buyer to confirm delivery of merchandise
Then she goes into the 10% thing and it's for issues just like this
I then ask if I mail my customer a toothpick with tracking would this satisfy ebay
She said YES
So in essence local delivery and pickup can affect your TRS status.
Sometimes I think ebay has gone CrAzY
Good morning my fellow **bleep** off ebay sellers!!! I just wanted to say EBAY is showing 2014 growth in sales!!!!
And every seller I have spoken to has seen a 70% decline in sales in 2014 !!! **bleep** is really good with ebay!!
Ebay's policies are broken & it's time we sellers show them that we have other alternatives to FEEBAY.
A new site with growing potential!! Bonanza.com which is shaping up to be pretty impressive.
Is it reasonable to link both user names to the same PaYPal account?
I am doing this after discoveriong in this forum that there are advantages.
Thank you
a few days ago i won an auction for 7 bucks and change from a new seller. i figured id get the item for cheap... and i did. selling on ebay isnt that complicated so i thought things would turn out ok.
i sent payment right away and got a notification that it was sent to an unverifed account and the seller would have to claim it. it looks to me that he put in the wrong email adress. but heres the problem - hes completly missing in action. he hasnt claimed my payment, responded to my messages, and of course he hasnt shipped my item.
when i go to the resolution center, it tells me that i need to pay still. the next page brings me to order details which shows my paypal payment date and the transaction which shows that payment was sent and is pending as unclaimed. i know i can cancel this payment through paypal any time before he claims it - but i dont want to make myself look bad in any way on ebays end. theres still an item that techically i need to pay for. i know i cant open a case just yet because the 7 day mark hasnt come, but i have a feeling that im going to run into the same wall when that day comes?
i have little faith that im actually going to get my item. he doesnt even want my money!! he seems to have no intrest in doing anything actually.
what should i do?
I created a post earlier about getting a price quote and can't seem to find a reasonable price range to send this package. The box will be 50 in x 20 in x 30 in L/W/H and weigh about 20 pounds. If I ship from UPS it quotes me around $250 for ground which seems ridicoulous to me. Also I don't believe USPS can deleivery a package this big either. Anyone have any ideas for the cheapest option to send to an ebay buyer?
Yesterday an odd thing happened on an auction, #271664994021 that I was bidding on. My bid and the winning bid were the same amount and arrived at the same time. The other bid was accepted. This of course is not unusual, but on the bid page my bid is listed under the winning bid. It has been my observation, in these auctions, that when a bid comes in, after another bid,that is less than one bid increment over the highest bid comes in, in this case $2.50, it is ignored/not listed. My bid is there on the bid page under the winning bidder, same time, same amount. A second is broken up into an infinite number of parts. Even though the bids are listed as the same time, they came in at different times. In order for my bid to be listed, it would have had to come in before the winning bid.
I called eBay customer service. He talked about sniping for a while, but sniping has nothing to do with this. eBay has to process the bids as they come in, no matter where they come from.
I have been a member of eBay for sixteen years and have bid on thousands of items. Never saw this before. I just thought I would run it by this forum. Why did I not win this auction?
Anyone having trouble seeing their accounts? I can see active selling, but cannot pull up all selling or unsold. Plus I cannot sell anything new. I have 500 free listings but cant use them. I also cannot see how many listings I have left. Please advise. Thanks.
Hi. Don't know what to do. Won an item and the seller doesn't want to accept my payment - saying that I contacted on the 4th day and it was late and he sold it someone else. What should I do? I understand that I had to contact him earlier, but also I think that the seller had to inform me that he was going to sell the item someone else. Thanks for your attention and help
the issue refund link at paypal is not there, only on this transaction that i need to refund. cannot contact paypal because its the weekend. don't know why this link is gone from this transaction, its still on all my other paypal transactions.
...but still hasn't actually shipped it. That puts her now at 20 days out from purchase. She stated she 'no longer wanted it' for her reason for return. I graciously accepted her request for a return but asked that she please mail within 5 days (the eBay requested time period) and send it with tracking. No response. No tracking uploaded. No return. Still sitting in "began return" mode.
If she doesn't send it back for another 4-5 days, is there a way to end this? I'm sick of it just hanging out there. I'd like to either get it and give her the money back (then block her) or simply close it and be done with it.
How does this work?
I don`t like to use *calculated* shipping becouse * free shipping* attracts more buyers.
If you have free shipping in the listing then that is what Califorina residents will get.but to ship to them cost about $20.00 more that other states.
I started 2012 at 100 or 5000.00 was going good until 2014 had sold 82 idem and made at lest 400.00 for ebay and had 99% rating so where did I go wrong
I recently received and cell phone that the seller said was clean but would not give out or check the ESN/IMEI number. I received the phone and the inside white label had been partially removed. I tested the phone on another LCD and found the ESN/IMEI number and then found out the phone was stolen. Because I went past the 30 days, (after ordering the LCD and then doing the repair) I was not able to file an eBay claim. I did however file a PayPal claim. After appealing a decision I finally won and received my money back. The trouble is that anyone who is selling a phone either new, for parts or otherwise should be forced to state in the auction that the ESN/IMEI number is either Bad, Stolen, Reported Lost or Clean & ready for activation. I repair computers and cell phones and when their are so many out their I continuously get an eBay error stating that I have sent out hte maximum number of emails today - please try again tomorrow. The problem with that is some of those auctions end today and I would need that information prior to placing a bid on that particular item.
My suggestion is
Force sellers (as I am one of them) to list the ESN/IMEI number is Bad - Reported Stolen or Lost or Clean - Ready to be activated OR Allow more emails to be sent out each day by potential buyers that need answers.
I had a bidder win an item and not pay. I did the upi and closed without payment or any communication from bidder (not calling them a buyer as they didnt pay) I forgot to put them on my block list (I was distracted over a sick pet for a couple weeks, I really do know to put non payers on the list). Now this person has bid on the relisted item they didnt pay for the first time. What should I do?
I recently sold an item. I just get an email from buyer stating they have a problem with their paypal and it will take atleast a week to reset it. They told me to relist it if I couldn't wait a week for payment.
First, I've never heard of such thing about Paypal. Sounds like buyer is trying to get out of purchase. I don't want to relist but I don't want to wait a week. UGH! What would you do?
Over the past months I have read so many return 'issues' that my head spins and I just can't ever seem to find the right one when searching for when I'm in need of specific help, so please bear with me
Buyer requested a return due to Doesn't Fit. I accept returns. Buyer was supposed to ship by 11/20 we kept communication and she shipped on 11/22, I received today. She provided me with the tracking # but didn't upload it herself, and I can't find a way for me to do that (she did this at the post office because she couldn't figure out how to ship online).
I would like to go ahead and refund her the purchase price (looks like that's all I'm liable to refund per my Ebay message, i.e., no shipping costs) now that I've received it -- am I running a risk by refunding her with no tracking to prove I received it? I thought I remember reading somewhere about double Ebay refunds by not doing this right -- if I refund now, and let's say Ebay tells her for whatever reason to upload tracking and it shows delivered, would another refund happen?
My question may be silly but one thing I've learned is to never proceed with what seems appropriate until I check with the fine folks one these boards
Thanks in Advance!
My friends i need your help urgently
One of my friends (eBay's newbie) paid for 4 items from the same seller on 28th of September and today we saw that the seller has not even shipped the items,so please tell us what must we do because few days left to act.
I am ready to send payment after winning an auction. How do I go about getting in touch with the seller in order to pay her for the item?
I messed up big time and set up the shipping on a 3 pound item with "21x13x10 in." dimensions (the 21 and 13 probably being in feet, not inches) with a resultant retail charge of $39.40. Needless to say, I own the buyer a significant refund, since the actual retail price is $12.20. Funny thing is the buyer paid without question- that a LOT of money! I voided the label and went to post office and purchased the correct one there. Not so funny thing is the postal employee couldn't figure out why the online charge was so high. She looked at the label and said everything was set up correctly - didn't notice the DIM WEIGHT PRICE notation.
My question is how do I issue this $27.20 refund....I didn't see an option under All Selling/More Actions. Do I go into PayPal and do it, or somewhere else within eBay? Do you recommend I also send a short note to the buyer explaining the situation now - or wait till I see that the refund has been issued???

A short ungrammatical misspelled press release put out on PRWeb Monday morning and jumped on by the AP and TechCrunch because it claimed that Google had paid $400 million for Rhode Island-based public hotspot provider ICOA proved to be a hoax.
The company's pink sheets stock sells for under a penny, almost nothing in fact, and only moved from $0.0001 to $0.0005 on the fake news. Around 500 million shares traded, including a swat of 330 million shares, worth around $225,000, sold by somebody.
ICOA's daily volume is usually around 2.6 million shares.
ICOA said it's notified the SEC. It thinks the bogus press release and probable pump-and-sump scheme originated from Aruba.
On its web site PRWeb.com attributed the "fraudulent" press release to "identity theft" that happens "on occasion, across all of the major wire services." It also said the matter has been turned over to the proper authorities for further investigation.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...
