The liquidity drought for venture-backed startups, which was already declared
to be a crisis in the second quarter when not a single VC-backed IPO went
out, continued in the third quarter. And don’t expect the situation to get
better any time soon.
For the first three quarters of the year combined, IPOs brought in only $470
million and M&A activity totaled $11.3 billion, a steep decline from prior
years (see chart). Although there was one IPO in the third quarter,
RackSpace, which brought in $187.5 million, that was less than half of what
the company had expected to raise when it initially filed. In the third
quarter of 2007, by comparison, IPOs brought in $945 million. Mergers and
Acquisitions activity was also down in the third quarter, bringing in $3.5
billion compared to $10.8 billion in the third quarter of 2007, according to
The National Venture Capital Asso... (more)

Photosynth, Microsoft’s impressive photo viewing project that stiches
together images to create pseudo-3D worlds, got a major upgrade last week.
The app has ditched Direct 3D (which only works on Windows) in favor of
Silverlight, Microsoft’s cross-platform viewer, which means that Photosynth
is now Mac friendly. So if you’re on a Mac and have only been able to look
longingly at our coverage of the app over the last two years, here’s your
chance.
Mac and Linux users have been able to take advantage of an experimental
Silverlight Photosynth viewer since December, but the viewer has been missing
a few key features until now, and Mac users haven’t been able to really
participate in the Photosynth community. Now all Photosynth embeds will be in
Silverlight by default. Also included with the update is a new
‘highlights’ feature, which makes it easier to find important l... (more)
A recent survey of e-book reader owners and intenders shows that prior to the
release of the iPad, Apple ranks just behind Amazon in the US and UK in terms
of preferred brand; and if the iPad provides a compelling eReader experience,
it may overtake Amazon’s Kindle. Details may be found in the Strategy
Analytics Wireless Device Lab report, “US & UK eReader Owner and Intender
Survey 2010.”
Current e-book reader owners report being extremely satisfied with their
devices. Four out of five US owners prefer e-book readers to physical books.

Ease of access to books; Ease of content transfer; and Newspaper and magazine
availability.
“While brand name is still an important factor for current owners when
choosing their next e-book reader,” commented Chris Schreiner, Senior
Analyst at Strategy Analytics. “Consumers buying their first e-book... (more)

BuzzFeed began publishing section-by-section content to the blogging platform
Tumblr. It also worked with Akamai, a content distribution network, so that
some article pages would still load even if the core BuzzFeed site could not.
Gizmodo and Jezebel each set up Tumblr blogs, “Sandy 2012 Emergency site”
and “Post-Hurricane Emergency Blog,” respectively. Gawker, too, relied on
the easy-to-use Tumblr as a back-up. While Tumblr enabled practically
seamless connectedness amid the chaos, the resulting aesthetic was a bit of a
throwback to the spartan design of the Internet’s earlier days. … [visit

1. Cloud and Mobility - A Match Made in Heaven....
Cloud computing is providing organizations with low-cost applications and
storage, making it easier to manage the growing amount of information.
Increased adoption of cloud-based systems (IaaS, SaaS, PaaS and everything
else) in the enterprise will pave a way for a faster pace of adoption and
acceptance of the cloud-based back end for mobile devices. With increased use
of smartphones, tablets in enterprise (BlackBerry, Nexus, Surface, etc.),
increased acceptance of BYOD, more and more business information and data
will be moved outside the firewall. The trend will fuel the use of cloud
infrastructure for mobile applications, and platform and infrastructure
including storage. It's a no-brainer. Private mobile cloud, private mobile
app stores, standalone enterprise class mobile app stores, etc., will start
taking shap... (more)
Research by UK firm CWCS Managed Hosting reveals attitudes to purchasing
hosting solutions
4th October 2013 - Research into the UK hosting market by CWCS Managed
Hosting (www.cwcs.co.uk) has revealed that around half of senior IT decision
makers consider reliability and uptime as the most important aspect of a
hosted solution. Perhaps surprisingly, the cost of hosting was one of the
least important considerations, lagging behind security and scalability.
The independent survey, carried out on behalf of CWCS in order to further
understand the buying decisions of the UK's IT professionals when they
purchase hosted services, brought up some interesting results.
"We're a hosting provider that prides itself on great reliability and uptime.
This research confirms that purchasers and users consider these factors
extremely important," said Karl Mendez, CEO at CWCS Managed Ho... (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.
