Which ecosystem am I talking about?
IBM had ruled and still rules the mainframe ecosystem . But the game changed!
Microsoft lorded over the desktop ecosystem. It still does but we all know that the game is changing again.
But what is the new game?
You would be pardoned if you think that the new game in town is the smartphone and tablet ecosystem. Most people think that way.
For sometime it did look like that. But the real new ecosystem is not about the hardware and really about the hosted services … and clearly, Google is winning.
Remember, what happened when Apple replaced Google map with its own? Does it matter to Google if iPhone sells more that Galaxy as long as Google services runs on iPhone? How much more usable would Windows phone have been if all Google services ran smoothly on it? Have you met a person who knowingly chooses Bing over Google search?
And … the nature of the new ecosystem is different
Earlier ecosystems were built on familiarity, standardization, interoperability and supporting infrastructure.
- Familiarity = Once you are used to a way of working why would you want to change?
- Standardization = Why would IT want to complicate life by introducing variety?
- Interoperability = Who would want do develop a product which cannot coexist with the most popular ecosystem?
- Supporting Infrastructure = People, expertise, add-on products etc.
But, the core product would not improve on its own just because more people are using it. User needs and user feedback had to be programmed into the next version.
Herein lies the beauty of the next generation of services – be it Google Search, Google Map, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon or even Wikipedia.
They improve on their own through learning algorithms
Learning algorithm = Algorithms that becomes more accurate on its own when more people use it
A good example of Learning Algorithm is Google Search. Have you noticed how accurately it can understand misspelled words – words not in the dictionary, proper names, abbreviations, Indian regional language words etc.? How you noticed how accurate the auto-suggest is? You would rarely have to type your complete search terms. It works so well even when you try to search something like an Indian regional language song.
Microsoft came up with UI innovations in Bing but Google could easily adopt what worked well. I have not yet met anybody who prefers to use Bing over Google.
IBM Watson won the Jeopardy! and had the ability to answer questions like a human. In May 2012 Google introduced "Knowledge Graph" and with that, you get direct answers to many questions in addition to the search results.
Even if some service replicates the algorithm, it would not be as good because the usage database would be missing. It would be a chicken and egg situation because people will not use it as it is not as good and the algorithm would not become better because people do not use it as much.
Same is the case with Google Maps. With more usage it becomes more accurate. Apple has already burnt its finger by trying to replace it.
Have you checked out Google's indoor mapping initiative (where GPS signals are not available) – if not then have a look at this and this!
Who can challenge Google?
Facebook? … There are enough number of studies which indicate that buying influence of social media is very low.
Amazon? … Would you purchase without comparing price? Serious purchasing without price comparison is a no-no.
Apple? … Industry best kept secret is that new generation Android phones are already superior to iPhone – and Steve Jobs is not around to pull a rabbit out of his hat.
Microsoft? … Right now they are clueless and busy defending their own turf.

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied ho...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Has Russia saved the Assad regime from collapse?
David Poort | 18 Nov 2010 18:59 GMT | Politics, Europe, Hungary
A string of scandals within the Dutch far-right Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders has rocked the stability of the Netherlands' new minority government.
The right-leaning minority coalition was formed last month after parliamentary elections in June in which the PVV increased its representation from nine to 24 members, making it the third largest party in the country.
James Sharpe, one of the PVV's legislators, resigned on Thursday because of a row surrounding his criminal convictions, making him the seventh PPV member of parliament whose history has come under scrutiny from the Dutch media.
Sharpe resigned after the media reported that his Hungary-based internet dating company had been fined for misleading customers. The website of Sharpe's company had tried to lure its users by featuring pictures of models that were not available for dating.
Sharpe, who was promptly replaced in parliament, denied any wrongdoing but "the evidence is all over the internet," the Dutch newspaper nrc.next reported.
Several incidents
The incident was the latest in a wide range of scandals involving PVV politicians.
Media in Holland reported last week that Eric Lucassen, a former army instructor and PVV legislator, had been convicted of having sex with teenage soldiers under his command.
Lucassen concealed his criminal record during the vetting process for his candidacy. He also held back that he was fined for harassing his neighbours by urinating in one of his neighbours' mailbox. The dispute revolved around the neighbour's dog, which had allegedly defecated on Lucassen's doorstep.Before the scandal, Lucassen had been the PVV's spokesman on neighbourhood issues.
Wilders apologised to voters and parliament because of the row, but refused to remove Lucassen from parliament. "He will no longer speak on behalf of the PVV on defence or neighbourhood policy," Wilders said.
Due to the PVV's spectacular growth, the party had not carried out proper research into its candidates, Wilders said. The PVV leader said the disclosure of the incidents had not put the stability of the government at risk.
'Dubious behaviour'
Five other PVV members of parliament have also come under media scrutiny for alleged dubious behaviour.
In 2006, Dion Graus allegedly tried to smother his highly pregnant wife after he had allegedly physically assaulted her. The charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.
Hero Brinkman, one of the party's most outspoken politicians, came under media scrutiny after head-butting a waiter during a bar brawl.
In an unrelated incident earlier this year, Marcial Hernandez spent a night in jail after being arrested for his part in another bar fight. That case is still being investigated.
Jhim van Bemmel has been accused of bankruptcy fraud.
Richard de Mos lied on his CV, claiming to have been "head of a school" in a rough neighbourhood of The Hague, while he was in fact a teacher at a primary school. Asked about the allegations, De Mos said he had done a two-year course to become a school director and had all the necessary certificates.
Wilders himself is expected back in court early next year to face charges of inciting racial hatred.
In 2007, he branded the Quran as "fascist" and later released Fitna, an anti-Islam film that drew complaints from civil society groups. Wilders says the charges against him are politically motivated. The minority cabinet of the Christian Democrats (CDA) and Liberals (VVD) relies on the support of Wilders' anti-Islam party to maintain a flimsy one-seat majority in parliament.
NRC Handelsblad, a daily newspaper, reported that the Christian Democrats are concerned about the reputation of a cabinet that has to depend on PVV legislators.
Opposition parties have called on Mark Rutte, the prime minister, to explain how the PVV's record affects the stability of the government.

Hi Everyone,
I've never owned a Ford before but my wife's been nagging me that our Volvo S60 T5R was too big/too thirsty and she wanted a smaller car.
Having researched thoroughly it's clear that the new Fiesta is best in class and the car to have, better still our local Ford dealership is offering cracking deals on ex fleet cars. I went to arrange a test drive and was very impressed with the level of service I received, I was shown a few cars and chose a 1.4 Titanium in Avalon for my 3 day test drive. I explained that I would be testing back to back with a Jazz as they also were highly rated.
I then test drove a Jazz for 3 days also allowing the missus and me to drive them back to back, the Ford had it straight away, faster, better handling, quiter, much better damping and a real looker. Not as practical but I'm not a coffin dodger yet! The Honda salesman phoned me 3 times to ask if I wanted the car, I got so peed off I returned the car after hours with a polite note saying I was buying the Fiesta and don't call me again.
Took the Fiesta back after 3 days and started talking money, it was up at £12,500 a 2009 model with 2000 miles having been a fleet car for 3 months and the other 3 sitting on the forecourt not selling. After much thought I decided I wanted a newer car and we started discussing a Zetec 1.4, these were £10,995, I said I wanted one in Vision and was told none were available, I was then shown a silver Jan 2010 car, I liked it but still preferred the Vision colour, after much haggling the price came down to £9250. I then said "we're nearly there, chip another £250 and I'll take it, my argument being that as a town car it needed parking sensors which the £250 would pay for, they could either fit them retrospectively and I'd pay £9250 or chip £250 and I'd fit them. We stalled and I was told they would call back after speaking to the manager ( yeah right ) 2 hours later they called and guess what, they had found a car in Vision my preferred colour and it had the City Pack fitted ( parking sensors & folding mirrors ) result! it was also newer an Apr 2010 car. To further confuse I was offered the Titanium for £9500 just £250 more aargh!!
I liked the Titanium but in truth none of the extra kit was essential, nice to have but not can't live without, also it was a Nov 09 car versus a Apr 2010 car so 5 months more warranty plus a 2010 car which I thought must be worth more come resale, and the Titanium didn't have parking sensors so... I said I'd take the Zetec. They told me it would be ready for collection the following week ( this wednesday 7th July ) and were kind enough to supply us with a 1.4 Style + to run around in.
They phoned me yesterday to say they had the car, it had been pre checked and was being valeted, would I like to take it out and make sure was happy with it.
Nice touch so I spent 2 hours driving it yesterday, took it back all was fine and collect tomorrow.
So long winded story but I'm very impressed with their customer service, so much so that I wrote to the salesperson's MD with a letter of commendation.
I think £9250 for a 1.4 Zetec with City Pack and less than 2000 miles and 3 months old is a good buy but you guys are the experts, is this a good deal? anyone else got this car and are you happy with it, looking forward to 37mpg instead of 15 and my wife is happy which is rare, also just seen that it placed 5th in the recent Which reliability survey ahead of the jazz which came 6th linky - http://www.telegraph...ity-survey.html

Electronic Drum Set
I wanted to tell you my progress in making the electronic drum set. The drum pads/cymbals/cowbell is a peizzo element sandwiched between 1/4 inch MDF and foam pad. The peizzo is wired to a 1/4 inch phono jack. The drum module was the part that I looked into before starting this project. Finally found MicroDrum that interfaces with an Arduino and can connect 48 different drums. It is cheaper then getting a profession drum module that can do 10. I am just in the middle of making foot pedals for the base drum and the hi-hat pedal that is made out of 1/2 inch MDF, hinge and spring. The base drum is a peizzo and the hi-hat is a momentary on-switch.

My name is Alyssa, and I am a 19 year old 2010 Walt Whitman graduate. I first came into tutoring during my sophomore year of high school and I enjoyed every second of it. I always was very math-oriented and I also speak 3 different languages so I figured- how can I put my knowledge to good use? In the summer of 2011, I created my own tutoring company and I brought a fun and easy-going environment to my students. My tutoring methods are very fair and understanding, I will work with you on a level that you can feel comfortable at and understand that I will always give you extra practice so you can retain your information better.
Thank you so much for visiting my page and I hope to hear from you very soon!

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Algebra 1 is probably one of the most difficult areas of math for some middle school and high school students aside from Geometry. Algebra 1 essentially covers foiling, defining lines on a graph, proportions, and has a splash of your basic math skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)added to it as well. With me as a tutor, I will help break down these seemingly impossible tasks to a better level of understanding so that you may have that confidence that you are lacking in that subject.

I have had a number of requests to hold another Cancellation Hearts game, so
in the tradition of Pat and Paul, March's first Friday of the month game will

I'll send out one more reminder only to those who have responded, to firm
things up.
As for the party, it was another fun weekend, with a decent though not
spectacular turnout of just under 50 different people. There were around 15 on
Friday, 30+ Saturday and fifteen Sunday. Because it was cold, we were unable to
use the table on the porch, and Saturday night did feel a bit crowded,

The weekend actually got off to an early start with a good sized turnout for
the weekly FRAGS (Framingham Gaming Society) gathering on Thursday. We have
been averaging over 10 people for quite awhile now. :) If you have been
waiting to try out a Thursday, feel free to join us.
The party started on a down note, as Vitas had to rush to NY because his
father had a stroke, Stacey's mom had to go back into the hospital for surgery
complications, and Frank had to have his appendix out. I'm sure everyone joins
me in wishing all of them the best.
Movie highlights included "Dr. Horrible", and "Earthlings:Ugly Bags of
Mostly Water" - the Klingon documentary. "Repo" did not go over real well, with
John's bad attitude going in helping to ruin the mood. I urge people to give it
a chance - it is a unique film.
Thanks to Tor for bringing the Klingon movie, Pete for the Poker Chips, and
everyone who brought food and games. Congratulations to ME for winning the
poker tournament (that's 2 of the last 3 at these parties - maybe I should be
doing more of these instead of Hearts).
As usual, the chili was a bit too hot for some. This time, instead of the
batch of peppers being mostly the mild green ones with a few red mixed in, the
one I used was almost all red, with only one of the milder green ones. Oh
well, leftovers mean another couple of nights I won't have to cook for myself.
I finally got to try out the new Fantasy Flight Cosmic Encounter (my old set
is starting to fall apart, and we were unable to pull together the right
people for a game). I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Too many mediocre
cards, and a bit too much randomness. It seemed pretty clear that most people
would get to 4 bases (um - I mean "colonies") and it would come down to the lu
ck of the draw. It pretty much worked out that way, and I decided to take a
joint win with Rick rather than hold out for a solo one which I'm certain I
could have had on my next turn. With so few cards, the good ones become far too
powerful, especially the Attack 40 and the Edicts (whoops - I mean
"artifacts"). As you can tell, one of the things I hated most was the fact that all the
terminology changed for no apparent reason, and some of the changes in
timing of cards. The powers also seem extremely unbalanced. (I got a real good one
- Remora - what the heck is a "Remora" anyway? RIck got a classic - Mind -
which seems very weak now in comparison).
Other highlights for me included a Celebrities game with virtually no names
being thrown out, a Shadow Hunters solo win as "Daniel", and surprisingly a
2-player game. I think "Dracula" is one of the more under-rated games in the
Kosmos 2-player line. (Of course the fact that there is a serious error in the
printed rules may have been part of the reason this game is not as well
received as some of the others). Joe R and I had an epic battle where so many of
the Vampires and Vampire Hunters were killed that we actually ran out of
encounter cards. Despite me getting him down to one life fairly early on, Joe
managed to find my 5th coffin while I had only killed 4 of his victims.
I've got to get to sleep. I'm heading to NY tomorrow at the crack of dawn
for Peter B.'s 50th birthday party, and I want to have time to head down to the
Princeton Record Exchange. Thankfully, I have a few more years to go before
hitting the half-century mark myself.
Ben P has asked me to try to schedule the next party as quickly as possible
in order to book time off and a flight up from DC. I will try to accommodate
In the meantime, I'll remind people once again about Cancellation Hearts
this coming Friday...
Until next time.

SAN FRANCISCO — Where do the Bills go from here ... besides Arizona?
This team is in severe trouble.
Bad enough they've lost back-to-back games — 52-28 and 45-3 — albeit to quality teams, New England (3-2) and San Francisco (4-1).Worse is the way they lost them.
Buffalo's supposedly dramatically improved defense, instead has performed as poorly as any in franchise history ... including eight seasons when the Bills won three-or-fewer games.
And that assessment isn't speculation ... it's fact.
In back-to-back losses to the Patriots and 49ers, the Bills have surrendered 1,201 yards, the most ever in consecutive games over the team's 53-year existence.
Those 97 points are the second-most relinquished in consecutive games —to the 103 given up in the last two of the dismal 1976 campaign — but the highest total when one of those two games was played at Buffalo.
WHAT'S MOST disturbing, though, is that an upgraded defense was the reason many "experts" saw the Bills as a team with playoff potential this season.
The reasoning went that the signing of ends Mario Williams — supposedly the jewel of this year's free agents on that side of the ball — and sack specialist Mark Anderson would dramatically enhance Buffalo's previously flaccid pass rush.
To date, for lack of a better word, both have been invisible.
Combined in five games, they have 25 tackles — 2 1/2 per game each — with they share 2 1/2 sacks.
On Sunday, with San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith allowed to throw with impunity, amassed 303 yards with three touchdown passes.
And the Niners showed perfect balance, rushing for 311 yards as, for the second straight game, the Bills' 'D' stopped nothing.
Most disturbing is the fact that Williams and Anderson are only a part — albeit major — of the problem.
Second-year cornerback Aaron Williams, taken in Round 2, has been awful, and his fellow starter, rookie first-round pick Stephon Gilmore has looked lost at times.
It's not fair to call Aaron Williams a bust this quickly, but he's done nothing to distinguish himself — one interception, one forced fumble in 14 games — and Gilmore, after an encouraging training camp, has been totally unimpressive.
AND THERE'S more.
Buffalo's linebackers, other than Nick Barnett, easily the team's leading tackler, has been decidedly substandard.
Outside starter Arthur Moats, who beat out veteran Kirk Morrison, inactive the first five games, performed so poorly — 16 tackles in his four starts — that he was replaced by rookie fourth-round draft pick Nigel Bradham.
And, in the middle, Kelvin Sheppard, to whom the running game is supposed to be funneled, has a measly 19 tackles in five games.
When you're getting little or nothing from your defensive ends, two of your three linebackers and both your starting cornerbacks, small wonder quality opponents are gashing that unit for record numbers.
AND WHILE it would be so easy to blame defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt, don't be so sure.
His pedigree in that role with both the Cowboys and Dolphins is high-quality.
And there was this interesting comment from San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg Roman after Sunday's game.
"They gave us an unscouted (not previously played) look," he said. "They had never shown that (approach) before. It was a great job by them ... they caught us.
"That's a tough one when you don't know what's coming. I've got to tip my hat to their coaching staff ... they got us."
So, it would appear that Wannstedt had an effective scheme ... Buffalo was down only 10-3 with a half minute left in the first half.
Maybe, just maybe, it's not the Xs and Os ... could it be the players instead?
Has general manager Buddy Nix had a pair of free-agent signings — Mario Williams and Anderson — that rival the horrendous and way overpriced acquisitions of Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker?
Has he conducted three drafts in which, other than first-rounders C.J. Spiller and Marcell Dareus, rival the dubious early-round selections of Donte Whitner, John McCargo, Trent Edwards, James Hardy, Aaron Maybin and Chris Ellis of the previous administrations?
We just might have been sold the cliched bill of goods on Buffalo's defense ... as their recent performance seems to indicate.
After all, the Bills' victories have been over two NFL lesser lights, Cleveland (0-5) and Kansas City (1-4) while they've been destroyed by San Francisco, New England and the Jets (2-3), who are now in full collapse.
What's certain is that the Bills are much closer to the AFC's dregs than its contenders, and there's no reason to think it will change.

Prescribing costs increase dramatically when people reach 65, according to a detailed analysis of more than five million patients published in the March issue of the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
Average costs were six-and-a-half times higher than for people under 65 and 16 times higher than for children under four.
When researchers from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Barcelona looked at the primary care records of 5.47 million patients in Catalonia, they found that just under three-quarters had been prescribed at least one drug and that women were 23 per cent more likely to receive a prescription.
But the outstanding finding was the significant cost differences based on the ages of the patients. When the researchers looked at the average number of drugs that patients were prescribed, people over 75 had almost eight times as many prescriptions as children under four years of age.
And the cost differentials for people over 65 were much higher than the four-and-a half times increase reported by a previous study in 1993.
This is probably due to a number of factors explains lead researcher Professor Eduardo L Marino from the Facultys Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacotherapy Unit. Our population is progressively ageing, we are better at detecting problems than 15 years ago and more expensive drugs are being developed.
Being able to predict prescribing costs is very important, he adds, especially when there are so many demands and pressures on healthcare budgets.
We looked at prescribing by gender, breaking down patients into ten age categories and analysing their use of 15 different categories of drugs he says.
This enabled us to build up a very clear picture of what sort of drugs people were taking, depending on their age and gender.
Other key findings of the study included:

Harvard law professor and civil rights advocate Alan Dershowitz is to offer his legal expertise to WikiLeaks.
According to a WikiLeaks press release, he will be working with British QC Geoffrey Robertson, head of Julian Assange's UK legal team.
Professor Dershowitz, who has represented a number of high profile clients including OJ Simpson, is one of the academic world's most prominent supporters of Israel. His 2003 book on Israel's history and politics, The Case for Israel, was a bestseller.

A former senior Israeli politician who served as an envoy to Egypt has said President Hosni Mubarak was just looking "for an honourable way out".
Commenting after Mr Mubarak confounded international expectation by transferring some powers to his deputy but refusing to relinquish his post, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said he had spoken to the president that evening.
Mr Ben-Eliezer, a Labour politician who served as defence minister under Ariel Sharon, said: ""He knew that this was it, that this was the end of the road."
The organisers of a conference this week on Lithuanian-Jewish relations have hit back at claims that critics of the Lithuanian government were not invited because it was jointly sponsored by the country's Foreign Ministry.
Francois Guesnet, who teaches modern Jewish history at University College London, said: "To suggest that critics of the Lithuanian government were excluded is not correct. Participants were chosen for their expertise, not on whether they were critical or not of the government."

David Birnbaum, Vladimir Zuravel and Catarina Pietra Toumei appeared in federal court this week accused of posing as members or associates of the Guggenheim family to swindle investors out of millions of dollars.
Their targets appear to have included presidents George Bush and George W Bush, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and Coca-Cola Company executives.

HGTV Cancels Pilot Over Hosts' Anti-Gay Views
The network has pulled the plug on real estate show "Flip It Forward" over statements made by its stars, David and Jason Benham, who called homosexuality an "agenda that is attacking the nation."
HGTV has pulled the plug on its upcoming reality series Flip It Forward after a controversy emerged surrounding the anti-gay views held by its hosts, twin brothers David Benham and Jason Benham.
"HGTV has decided not to move forward with the Benham Brothers' series," the network announced on its Facebook page.
The pilot for the show -- which follows families trying to convert fixer-uppers into their dream homes, with guidance from the Benham brothers – was set to premiere in October.
PHOTOS: 'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson and Other Stars Who've Made Anti-Gay Remarks
But HGTV had begun to draw fire, on its Facebook page and elsewhere, over their views on gay marriage.
At a 2012 rally organized by their father, Flip Benham, promoting a constitutional amendment in North Carolina that would define marriage only between a man and a woman, David Benham said: "We have no-fault divorce; we have pornography and perversion; we have homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation." He added that the Christian majority must repent for standing idly by and "tolerating" such things.
Many commentators hailed the decision on HGTV's Facebook page, with one writing: "Good decision not to stab every LGBT employee and viewer in the face."
Many more, however, praised the decision by saying they were sick of real estate shows and would prefer more reality programming built around decorating and gardening tips, along the lines of the network's Decorating Cents.
