Enterprise open source commentator Glyn Moody says that Android-based ARM
systems, such as the chipsets for Google's Android operating system announced
this week by Freescale, could be part of the next wave of price reductions
that will push netbooks down to $150 and less.
Moody believes that Apple will over time lose its iPhone advantage to open
source solutions like Android. Here is his logic:
"Freescale's announcement is still at the level of marketing hype, but it is
nonetheless indicative of how people are starting to think. And the crucial
element is Android, because once you have netbooks running the stack, then
you will have a spectrum of hybrids that can mix mobile and netbook features.
Again, this is something free software is ideal for: there are no constraints
on experimentation, and the tools for trying things out are readily
available.

The 7 Steps to Real World Business Transformation on the Internet of Things

navigating the business and technical path to success can be difficult to
understand. This presentation will show you how to approach creating broadly
successful connected customer solutions using real world... (more)
Most rainbows are colorful shining heralds that a storm has passed. "Project
Rainbow" leaves us in a fog as to what is to come. So do frequently named
participants such as IBM, Intel, AT&T, and Verizon by their silence. At its
vaguest, Project Rainbow is a consortium that loosely ties at least the
aforementioned companies together. According to a consensus of surrounding
industry hearsayers, the purpose is a serious verbal rumination about the
plausibility of a nationwide 802.11 network that all participants could
profit from. The fact that Project Rainbow exists with such certainty while
remaining so unidentifiable is part of its attraction for investigation,
reporting, and discussion.
Project Rainbow seems to be a loosely knit rallying point for certain known
and unknown tech-sector giants to discuss how to take advantage of the
popularity of 802.11 (WLAN) hotspot... (more)
Modern technology means we can track our children, but do we have the right
to know where they are, and do they have the right to keep their location
from us?
Parents may not be able to keep their children in sight at all times, but GPS
technology allows them to track their location almost anywhere. Many emerging
products focus on children. With either existing GPS technology or that which
one day may find its way onto the retail shelves, parents will be able to
keep track of teenagers' use of cars, to know how fast the teens have been
driving, or to find them when they do not return from a date by 11 in the
evening.
Little children can be given a bracelet to track their movements and help
frantic parents when they get lost in the mall. An online retailer advertises
a GPS-connected wristwatch that enables a parent to locate a child within a
minute by making a simp... (more)
According to Reuters reports, within the next few days Yahoo! will enable
free PC-to-PC voice calling between Yahoo! users, using VoIP-based technology
developed by a team from Dialpad, which Yahoo! acquired last year.
The new service, Reuters notes, will be available in 180 countries - though
whether Yahoo! will succeed in this bold bid to play catch-up with Skype (now
a subsidiary of eBay) is difficult to gauge.
Customers who sign up for Yahoo!'s "Phone Out" service will apparently be
able to call the US for just a penny a minute. Calls to thirty-plus countries
including Argentina and Korea will cost even less.
Let the VoIP Wars begin.

This is a series of three articles – the first (this one) outlining the
significance of Web 2.0 technologies, the second article discussing the
impact of Web 2.0 technologies on mobility and the final article on the
impact of Web 2.0 technologies on digital convergence.
If you are already familiar with Web 2.0, my goal, in a nutshell (no pun
intended!) is to extend Tim O Reilly’s seven principles to mobility and
digital convergence.
Thus, I will not attempt to add to the body of knowledge in terms of basic
Web 2.0 concepts themselves. I would rather prefer to build on some of the
excellent work done on the subject from folk such as Tim O Reilly, Richard
McManus and others. I will use their work as a background and extrapolate the
basic Web 2.0 principles to mobility and digital convergence (areas which I
am more familiar with).
My approach will be to ask a series o... (more)

'While the last decade was focused on the Web, the next phase in the
evolution of our industry will be on the convergence of Web, mobile and
desktop applications and the ability to extend existing applications with
these new technologies for a consistent user experience regardless of how and

Exclusive Q&A with with SYS-CON's Web 2.0 Journal in the run-up to his
session on October 20 at AJAX World RIA Conference & Expo in San Jose,

I’m reading Do You Matter? How Great Design Will Make People Love Your
Company. In theme and topic, it’s *very* similar to Subject to Change,
which mostly makes me grateful that we published first. We also don’t
reference Apple *nearly* as much as this book does, though I guess it may be
excusable, because one of its authors, Rob Brunner, worked there (though, he
worked there when Jobs wasn’t there, so take that as you will).
Anyway, I’m compelled to blog because when talking about “design
driven” corporations, the book cites, among others, Samsung. Now, I know
that Samsung has been lauded in the design process (though not for a few
years) because of how they used design to elevate their brand from an
east-Asian also-ran into the next Sony. BUT, from what I can tell,
Samsung’s “design-driven”-ness is all sizzle and no steak. I’ve owned
two Samsung products in the t... (more)

CloudEXPO Stories By Zakia Bouachraoui  The precious oil is extracted from the seeds of prickly pear cactus plant. After taking out the seeds from the fruits, they are adequately dried and then cold pressed to obtain the oil. Indeed, the prickly seed oil is quite expensive. Well, that is understandable when you consider the fact that the seeds are really tiny and each seed contain only about 5% of oil in it at most, plus the seeds are usually handpicked from the fruits. This means it will take tons of these seeds to produce just one bottle of the oil for commercial purpose. But from its medical properties to its culinary importance, skin lightening, moisturizing, and protection abilities, down to its extraordinary hair care properties, prickly seed oil has got lots of excellent rewards for anyone who pays the price.
