Understanding Data. Quantum Computing: Where This New Technology Is Headed This Decade, Part 1. Three tips for choosing an ESB. Architecture of a Modern Web Application ~ TECHIE KERNEL. Some time in my career, I was working in a RFID tracking system and I was designing the real time event notification web application for that, I was using Google Map API to show the activities on a particular facility/ floor map, where RFID sensors were mounted.
Flexible 'electronic skin' can help heal, detect touch and temperature. Surgeons could one day restore lost feeling in humans by using artificial skin that's been augmented with flexible sensors, and a new development from researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology may bring that closer to reality.
The research team has developed a flexible sensor that can detect touch, temperature, and humidity — and can reportedly be built at a low cost. Lead researcher Hossam Haick told the American Technion Society that it is the first artificial skin sensor built with the ability to detect temperature and humidity, and that its touch sensitivity is 10 times greater than any electronic skin that came before it. Laws of Physics Say Quantum Cryptography Is Unhackable. It's Not.
In the never-ending arms race between secret-keepers and code-breakers, the laws of quantum mechanics seemed to have the potential to give secret-keepers the upper hand.
A technique called quantum cryptography can, in principle, allow you to encrypt a message in such a way that it would never be read by anyone whose eyes it isn’t for. Enter cold, hard reality. In recent years, methods that were once thought to be fundamentally unbreakable have been shown to be anything but. Big Data: What Does it Really Mean? Facebook Rattles Networking World With 'Open Source' Gear. Facebook man Frank Frankovsky.
Photo: Wired/Brian Frank Google solved the problem ages ago, but only for itself. Now, Facebook is building a solution for everyone else. As far back as 2007, rumors indicated that Google was designing its own networking switches, creating a cheaper and more effective way of moving information across the massive data centers that underpin its web empire, and early last year, the rumors crystallized into the real thing, as photos of a Google switch appeared on the web. Ten websites that teach coding and a bunch of other things. By pandodailyguest On April 5, 2013 Seemingly every day there’s a new article or blog post imploring you to learn how to code.
Meet Microsoft, the world's best kept R&D secret. As far as 99.9 percent of the world population is concerned, Microsoft is a stodgy, old-guard technology company.
Its bottom line is fully leveraged against PC operating systems and business software—hardly the building blocks of a future-thinking portfolio, right? But scratch that cold, conservative, pedestrian surface, and you’ll find a Microsoft that’s a veritable hotbed of cutting-edge innovation. Indeed, the company doesn't just loosen its purse strings when it comes to research and development. No, it practically throws money at really big thinkers to build a more wondrous, fantastical future. In 2011 alone, Microsoft's R&D budget reached a record high of $9.6 billion (yes, with a "B"). Big Idea 2013: The Web Grows Up. BYOD: Why Mobile Device Management Isn't Enough - Global-cio - Here's what to look for in MDM software and what limitations IT still faces in letting employees use personal devices for work.
Nine out of 10 technology pros think smartphones and tablets will become more important to business productivity in the next couple of years. Seventy-two percent expect to offer more bring-your-own-device options so that employees can access company data with their personal gadgets. But IT doesn't necessarily see mobile device management software as essential to coping with this proliferation of devices in the workplace. Only 26% of respondents to the InformationWeek Mobile Device Management and Security Survey say their companies have implemented MDM software, and another 17% say they're in the process of deploying it. THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL [SLIDE DECK] Big Data Right Now: Five Trendy Open Source Technologies. Big Data is on every CIO’s mind this quarter, and for good reason.
Companies will have spent $4.3 billion on Big Data technologies by the end of 2012. But here’s where it gets interesting. Those initial investments will in turn trigger a domino effect of upgrades and new initiatives that are valued at $34 billion for 2013, per Gartner. Over a 5 year period, spend is estimated at $232 billion. Google Now Better Than Siri. Basic SOA Using REST: A Hands-On Guide to Implementing Web services and Service Oriented Architecture. [next] Basic SOA Using REST By Mark Hansen Digg This Add to del.icio.us In this chapter, I describe the basic tools and techniques for implementing SOA components using the REST paradigm.
If you are an advanced Java programmer, you might find the first half of this chapter to be very basic. Beyond Open Access: Open Data, Web services, and Semantics (the Open Context Data Publication System for Archaeology)
