Apple releases new iOS, watchOS, tvOS betas
Apple has released a new round of developer betas for iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The release notes for the new versions are relatively sparse, and the very minor version numbers — 9.3.2, 2.2.1, and 9.2.1, respectively — would suggest that these are primarily maintenance releases and do not likely include any new features worth noting. The new betas are available to registered developers from Apple's Developer Site; those developers who installed the necessary beta configuration profiles for the prior beta cycle should also automatically see the new betas appear as an over-the-air update.
Apple News Twitter account starts promoting stories
The Apple News account on Twitter appears to be up and running, promoting stories as of last night. So far the feed has sent out a handful of sports and news items with links that direct users back to the Apple News app. Anyone clicking on story links from a device without Apple News or in a country where Apple News isn't available will be redirected to the affiliate news provider's site instead.
Siri security issue lets users bypass iPhone 6s/6s Plus lock screen (Update: Apple issues fix)
A newly discovered security flaw in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus allows users to bypass the lock screen and gain access to contacts and photos. The exploit only works on 3D Touch-equipped phones set to allow Siri access to Twitter, Contacts and Photos, but if all of those variables are in place, gaining access to a user's photos is relatively easy.
If a Twitter search run through Siri yields a tweet that contains an email address, a 3D Touch gesture can then be used to call up the contextual menu with options to send mail to the address or add it to contacts. Choosing to add the address to contacts allows access to the phone's existing contact list, and using the contact list's option to add photos to a contact, the user can browse the phone's photos without ever entering a passcode. To guard against the potential intrusion, users need only disable Siri's Twitter integration under Settings > Twitter. [via Apple Insider]
Update: Apple has tweaked Siri to stop the personal assistant from allowing access to Twitter searches from a locked iPhone. A spokesman confirmed to the Washington Post that the company pushed out a fix to make Siri force users to unlock their phone before delivering Twitter search results. The update was handled on Apple's on servers, so it won't require any action from users.
French agency: Apple owes 48.5 million euros over illegal contracts
A French watchdog agency claims Apple should pay 48.5 million euros in damages over illegal contracts with cellular carriers, French website BFMTV reports. The Directorate General for Competition, Consumption and Fraud has filed a complaint with the Commercial Court in Paris alleging Apple's contracts with carriers are "significantly unbalanced" in favor of Apple, in violation of the Commercial Code.
Siri improves MLB knowledge, but results are hit-or-miss
In honor of Opening Day in the MLB, Apple has rolled out some improvements to Siri's baseball knowledge, but we've found there's still a lot of room for improvement. The personal assistant is supposed to be able to provide more detailed statistics, including historical data going back to the beginning of baseball records, but simple questions like, "What was Ty Cobb's best single-season batting average?" returned, "I don't know who leads the league in batting average," so she can't even answer the question we didn't ask, much less the one we did.
Apple's plan to sell used phones in India meets strong opposition
Apple's latest push to sell used iPhones in India is meeting strong resistance from a consumer group backed by rival Samsung, Bloomberg reports. Apple's 2015 application was rejected, and the company's recent request has drawn opposition from technology executives who say allowing the sale of used phones will turn India into a dumping ground for electronic waste. "Make in India could turn into Dump in India," said Sudhir Hasija, chairman of Karbonn Mobiles, referencing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India program that encourages local manufacturing.
Apple releases iOS 9.3.1
Following reports earlier this week of a hyperlink bug which was causing freezes and crashes on some iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus units, Apple has released iOS 9.3.1, a minor update that promises to fix the issue. As usual, the update is available now through Settings > General > Software Update, or can be installed using a Mac or PC via iTunes.
Unboxing the iPhone SE
We've just gotten our hands on Apple's iPhone SE and have posted a number of unboxing and comparison photos, looking at the new 4" iPhone model alongside its larger siblings, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Be on the lookout for our full, independent, comprehensive iPhone SE review, coming on Monday.
Apple claims ruling in patent case was unconstitutional
Apple has asked a federal appeals court to reinstate a $120 million verdict against Samsung, claiming the three-judge panel that reversed the jury's decision in February violated the U.S. Constitution, Reuters reports. In a petition filed Monday, Apple's attorney said the panel's use of its own outside research to overturn the judgment undermined Apple's Seventh Amendment right to have a jury decide the case.
MLB coaches get iPad Pro devices with custom software
Apple is providing coaches with 12.9-inch iPad Pro devices running custom software through a new multi-year deal with Major League Baseball, The Wall Street Journal reports. The tablets will run a custom iOS app called Dugout, developed by the MLB's Advanced Media division. The app will be loaded with player statistics, stat breakdowns, interactive data and game footage pertinent to the team's matchup each day, with future iterations expected to support real-time data updates. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said he hopes the iPads will help speed up the pace of games and make baseball more attractive to a younger generation drawn to fast-action sports. [via Apple Insider]
Apple faces new security challenge after FBI hacks iPhone
Now that the FBI has cracked San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook's iPhone without Apple's assistance, the company is left with the daunting task of fixing a security vulnerability it knows nothing about. Unlike other security issues where Apple is working to solve a known problem, the company has so far received no information from the FBI about the method used to break into the device. To complicate issues further, The New York Times reports Apple's security operations have been in a state of transition since late last year, when Dallas DeAtley, leader of the Core OS Security Engineering team and the manager responsible for most government data extraction requests, left that team to work in a different part of the company.
Apple Q2 earnings call set for April 25
Apple has announced that it will release its Q2 financial results on Monday, April 25. As usual, the company will conduct its conference call at 5 p.m. Eastern time that day. Apple previously provided guidance for Q2 of revenue between $50 billion and $53 billion, and gross margin between 39 percent and 39.5 percent. As always, iLounge will provide coverage of the results.
Apple responds to Justice Department dropping iPhone lawsuit
Apple has issued a public response after the U.S. government dropped its lawsuit demanding the company's assistance in hacking into a terrorist's iPhone, with the company saying it will continue to aid law enforcement while also continuing to increase the security of its products. "From the beginning, we objected to the FBI's demand that Apple build a backdoor into the iPhone because we believed it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent," Apple said. "As a result of the government's dismissal, neither of these occurred. This case should never have been brought."
Justice Department drops lawsuit after cracking iPhone without Apple's help
The U.S. Justice Department said it gained access to the information on San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook's iPhone without Apple's help and has dropped its lawsuit against the company, Reuters reports. Last week prosecutors asked for a delay the day before a court showdown with Apple, saying the FBI was working with a third party to gain access to the phone. While reports claimed Israeli company Cellebrite was the third party working on breaking Apple's encryption, law enforcement officials haven't publicly revealed the party responsible for the hack, or what was found on the phone. "The FBI has now successfully retrieved the data stored on the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone and therefore no longer requires the assistance from Apple required by this Court Order," DOJ spokeswoman Melanie Newman said in a statement. Apple had requested that the FBI share information on how it accessed the phone, but an unnamed law enforcement source refused to tell CNN whether the FBI would make good on that request. "We can't comment on the possibility of future disclosures at this point," the official said. Apple declined to comment on the news.
Apple releases version of iOS 9.3 for older devices affected by Activation Lock issue
Apple has released a new version of iOS 9.3 with build number of 13E237, designed specifically for older iOS devices. The first finished public release of iOS 9.3 had an issue during the activation process. Users of such devices — including the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and earlier devices — who were unable to recall their Apple ID info could find their devices rendered inaccessible. This new build is meant to provide a fix for that problem. We're also awaiting an iOS update for everyone that will provide a fix for the current hyperlink bug seen in Safari and elsewhere after updating to iOS 9.3, but it appears like we'll have to wait a little longer on that front.
Report: Wireless charging, AMOLED screens could come to 2017 iPhones
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is predicting a drastic redesign of the iPhone coming in 2017, including wireless charging, AMOLED displays and a "completely new form factor design" with narrower bezels. Kuo has pushed up his estimate for Apple's release of AMOLED displays in iPhones, now backing previous rumors that customers will see the technology next year in a 5.8-inch iPhone that will completely replace the 5.5-inch iPhone, provided Apple can get enough of the larger AMOLED displays in time.
Hyperlink bug in iOS 9.3 causing apps on iPhone 6s/6s Plus models to freeze, crash
After updating to iOS 9.3, multiple iPhone 6s/6s Plus users have reported problems clicking hyperlinks in Safari, Mail, Messages, Notes and other apps. Some users are finding the links just don't redirect anywhere while others are seeing their apps freeze or crash, according to multiple posts in Apple's technical support forum. We have experienced the problem in Safari firsthand, with the hyperlinks going nowhere and occasionally freezing the app — so far we haven't seen the behavior in other Apple apps ourselves. Apple hasn't publicly responded to the issue but reportedly told one forum user "they're aware of the problem and that their engineers are working on an update (presumably, iOS 9.3.1), and that the update should arrive within the next two days." Apple's Support Twitter account also seems to be attempting to offer help to users who contact the account, with apparent mixed results. Some users have had luck restoring hyperlink functionality in Safari by disabling JavaScript, but found the problem still persists in Mail, Notes and other apps that contain links. So far the problem seems isolated to 6s and 6s Plus models, leading to speculation that the issue could be tied to 3D Touch.
Report: Apple working on original TV series about apps
Amidst rumours that have been swirling about Apple's desire to unveil original TV programming, a new report from The New York Times indicates that the company may be making its first foray into the arena with a show about apps. Apple announced earlier today that it's working with Will.i.am and veteran TV executives Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens to create a new unscripted show that highlights the "app economy." Apple executives have declined to discuss any specifics around the show, including even a title, timeline, or how the show will be delivered to viewers. Although it's notably the company's first original effort outside the music category — as Dr. Dre's upcoming show is — Apple SVP Eddy Cue noted that this latest entry does not represent any "broader ambition" by Apple in terms of original productions or streaming video, although he notes Apple will "continue to explore exclusive projects similar to the series about apps or its push into music programming." This particular project was apparently initiated as a result of a pitch by Ben Silverman, executive producer of several recent hit TV series' such as "Jane the Virgin" and "Marco Polo." Silverman worked with Cue to make "The Office" available on iTunes nearly a decade ago.
Reports detail Apple's extensive cloud infrastructure projects
Apple has been migrating more of its cloud computing to Google, but a new report from The Information claims the company is aiming to create its own extensive set of data centers and servers to bring all of its cloud services in-house. Last week CRN reported Apple has quietly been moving much of its cloud computing to the Google Cloud Platform and away from Amazon Web Services, whose infrastructure it uses to run online services like iCloud. Anonymous sources said Apple is now spending between $400 million and $600 million on Google's services after becoming dissatisfied with AWS being unable to quickly load photos and videos on users' iOS devices.
Report: Israeli software company helping FBI crack iPhone
Cellebrite, a provider of mobile forensic software, is said to be the company helping the FBI in its efforts to crack the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reports. Cellebrite officials refused to comment, but the company has been providing the FBI with decryption technology since 2013. Yesterday, a judge approved a two-week postponement of the FBI's court action against Apple as the government explores a "third-party" method of unlocking the iPhone.

Dimitrov, 23, who will enter the top ten in the ATP rankings on Monday, allowed his nerves and the windy conditions on Centre Court to get the best of him in his Grand Slam semifinal debut. Djokovic opened the match with some serious serving, hitting 19 consecutive first serves in. He leaned on his serve to easily pocket the first set and earn an early break in the second. Tennis Roger Federer will face Novak Djokovic for an unprecedented ninth Wimbledon title. Roger Federer crushes Milos Raonic to reach his ninth Wimbledon final by Courtney Nguyen 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More With 3-1 lead, Djokovic he regressed a bit as Dimitrov elevated his play, losing five straight games and ultimately the second set. After staying on the baseline for the first two sets, Djokovic made a concerted effort to finish points at the net over the next two sets. He wasn't always successful, converting 27 of 47 net approaches, but the tactic disrupted Dimitrov's rhythm off the ground. "I was playing in the semifinal against a future star, he is already a top player after beating Murray and he deserves respect for that," Djokovic said. "For his first semi he was really fighting and it it was tough. Like my last match against Cilic, I allowed my opponent back into the match and I am just pleased to go through." But play in the tiebreakers proved to be the difference in the match. In the third set tiebreaker, Djokovic quickly earned a 4-1 lead, and Dimitrov double-faulted and sprayed errors to lose it. In the fourth set tiebreaker, Dimitrov had a set point on his serve at 6-5. However the Bulgarian played too tentatively; ultimately he double-faulted to give Djokovic match point, and the Serb converted to improve his record in Grand Slam semifinals to 14-9. "He has quality shots especially the running forehand and a great touch and he is playing well when is aggressive and defending and that is something he has improved on in the last six months or so. It is a good win for me I am glad to be part of a great match." Game-by-game analysis of the match below. Fourth set 11:14 a.m. ET | Novak Djokovic defeats Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (7) to advance to his third Wimbledon final. Djokovic got the first minibreak in the third set tiebreak, but this time it's Dimitrov who strikes first, as Djokovic sends a ball long to give Dimitrov a 2-1 lead. Great point between the two that Dimitrov wins at the net for 3-1, but he gives the minibreak back with a poor forehand unforced error. Yes, Grigor, that was facepalm-worthy. The two head to the changeover with Dimitrov holding a 4-2 lead after Djokovic sends a weak forehand unforced error into the net. Serving at 4-3, Dimitrov puts a weak second serve into the middle of the box, and Djokovic puts the backhand into the net. Dimitrov follows that up with a sneaky approach into the net, and he finishes with a high backhand volley down the line to set up multiple set points at 6-3. Djokovic wins his two points on serve, and huge pressure here for Dimitrov serving at 6-5. He goes huge on the first serve and puts it into the bottom of the net. But a patient point from Djokovic as he slowly and methodically opens the court and the Serb has saved his fourth set point so far. 6-all. And then, can you believe it, Dimitrov double-faults and it's Djokovic with match point. Dimitrov saves it as Djokovic goes serve-and-volley on match point and gets passed. No, Novak. You're not Boris. Yet. Djokovic serves at 7-all and earns his second match point as Dimitrov hits the deck hard behind the baseline. Djokovic converts! Clutch performance from him on a day he didn't play his best. Double faults costly for #Dimitrov, incl' one deep in the 4th set breaker. 70% first serves in for #Djokovic pic.twitter.com/cNwAbR3HVA — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 4, 2014 Standing ovation for @GrigorDimitrov, who beat the defending champ, but found the final a stretch too far #bbctennis pic.twitter.com/cCu5FVSYS0 — BBC Tennis (@bbctennis) July 4, 2014 11:01 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, tied 6-6*. Amazing series of points played by Dimitrov to earn set point. He slapped a running forehand winner down the line to get to deuce and then shows off his speed and hands with a sliced volley that lands plum on the line. But Djokovic saves with a good first serve to the body that Dimitrov blocks into the tape, and the Serb holds with a huge roar. Why me. #grigorthoughts pic.twitter.com/V5Ikd1VYEi — René (@Renestance) July 4, 2014 Dimitrov holds at love. Djokovic holds at love. We're going to a tiebreak. 10:49 a.m. ET | Dimitrov holds, leads 5-4*. Two quick drama-free holds. Tiebreak coming? 10:45 a.m. ET | Dimitrov holds, leads 4-3*. Djokovic falls behind 0-30 on his service game. Remember, the Serb was up a set and a break at 3-1 in the second when Dimitrov reeled off five straight games to take that set. Dimitrov earns a break point with a nice approach and volley combo but Djokovic does well to save it, hitting a skidding forehand off a hard slice to earn the point. The Serb shaking his head at his box, frustrated by, well, everything right now. At deuce he double-faults to give up another break point in the game, but Dimitrov sends a forehand long. On the next point it's Djokovic who sends a ball long to give up his third break point of the game, but saves it with a good serve. He finally holds with two more great serves. Dimitrov holds easily. Much to Maria Sharapova's relief. She's been stressed: 10:34 a.m. ET | Dimitrov breaks back, leads 3-2*. Djokovic can't consolidate. Good work from Dimitrov to bounce back and immediately get that break back. He gets in trouble again on his own service game, falling behind 0-30 and throws in some surprising errors off both wings, but he scraps out the hold with an ace. Resilient. Great line from John McEnroe on BBC after Dimitrov tried to hit a two-handed backhand flick winner and sailed it. "Did he just hit that with two hands? Talk about Plan...G." 10:25 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads *2-1. Horrible service game from Dimitrov in his second service game. Serves three straight double-faults to open it and Djokovic breaks at love. We've seen Dimitrov have those sorts of nervy service games before but it seemed like he put those woes behind him. I enjoy tennis but I mainly enjoy watching the gorgeous girlfriends look terrified when someone breaks their boyfriend's serve. So scared. — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) July 4, 2014 Third set 10:13 a.m. ET | Novak Djokovic wins the tiebreak 7-2, leads 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2). First minibreak goes to Djokovic at 2-1 as Dimitrov slips again during the rally and can't recover. There's lots of talk about shoes and the court conditions causing these two to falter so badly, but honestly, if you try and slide on grass, aren't you going to fall down? You're not actually supposed to be able to that on grass. Djokovic consolidates to 4-1 in the tiebreak and then Dimitrov double-faults to fall behind 5-2. Dimitrov then puts a poor backhand into the net, and Djokovic serves it out easily with a 7-2 win in the tiebreak. Couldn't ask for more from Djokovic in that tiebreaker. 10:05 a.m. ET | Dimitrov holds, tied 6-6*. Fantastic point on game point for Dimitrov that ends with both men down on the grass. Great athleticism from Dimitrov once again. Such an entertaining player to watch. Wimbledon vrai pic.twitter.com/JtHzP3oGdt — Philippe (@saintmtex) July 4, 2014 More holds of serve.

Djokovic has an opportunity at 15-30 on Dimitrov's serve, but the best returner in the game sails an easy backhand return long off a second serve. His net attempts have left a lot to be desired but he's still coming in regularly. He gets to deuce on Dimitrov but the Bulgarian holds. Djokovic holds at love. The Serb got very frustrated in that return game. Opportunity lost. Djokovic tosses racquet in air, runs forward to awkwardly catch it. Prob his best result today coming to net. — Chris Chase (@chaztopher) July 4, 2014 9:50 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, leads 4-3*. Djokovic just isn't thinking straight. Down 0-15 he decides to serve and volley after a 90 mph second serve and he pays the price. Dimitrov earns break point at 30-40 and runs around to hit a huge inside out forehand return but Djokovic somehow redirects a short ball down the line that dies before Dimitrov can track it down. Lucky. Pretty straightforward stuff so far from Dimitrov in this set. His level hasn't dipped too much. Photo: CARL COURT/AFP/Getty Images 9:41 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, leads 3-2*. Djokovic is definitely changing up tactics. He's already been to the net nine times this set. He came to the net five times combined in the first two sets. The success rate isn't great -- he's won a little over 50 percent of the points -- but at least it puts the pressure on Dimitrov to come up with some passing shots. Photo: FACUNDO ARRIZABALAGA/AFP/Getty Images 9:33 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, leads 2-1*. It feels like it took him an hour and 20 minutes to do it but Novak Djokovic finally finds himself up at the net. He comes to the net again but Dimitrov shows off his scrambling defense and tracks down ball after ball before he puts a hard forehand at Djokovic at the net and the Serb can't handle the pace, putting it into the tape. Sorry to say, very un-Becker like volleys. #wimbledon — Douglas Robson (@dougrobson) July 4, 2014 All holds to start the third set. Second set 9:22 a.m. ET | Grigor Dimitrov wins the second set 6-3 to level the match at a set apiece. That's three straight games to Dimitrov now and the Bulgaria gets his second straight break. Djokovic has gone ice cold. There was no way he was going to match his first set service numbers, but he's serving at 61 percent first serves in, winning 58 percent first serves, and 33 percent of his second serves. Dimitrov is serving at around the same percentage but he's winning 86 percent of his first serves in this set. The Bulgarian is also getting back to his attacking, all-court style. He's 11 for 11 at the net this set. He was 5 of 9 in the first. The slice and court position the last 5 games have changed this match around for Showtime Dimitrov — Brad Gilbert (@bgtennisnation) July 4, 2014 Dimitrov serves it out at 15. It speaks volumes about where Djokovic's head is at that he actually stops the point on set point thinking a looping ball landed out. Hawk-Eye shows it was in and Dimitrov levels the match by winning five straight games.

Sure enough, Dimitrov gets break points again on Djokovic's serve and this time he converts for his first break of the match. Dimitrov's heavy slice is doing him well in this set. According to the BBC, 60 percent of Dimitrov's backhand slices are coming in at over 3,000 rpms, making for a severe bite off the grass. By comparison, Djokovic hasn't hit one with that heavy of spin and most of his are coming in at just over 1,000 rpms. Dimitrov consolidates his break and we're back on serve in this set.

Dimitrov finally earns his first break point, but the dust bowl conditions behind the baseline are his downfall. He tumbles to the ground while trying to change direction, and Djokovic saves the point with a forehand winner. Djokovic holds but at least he made some headway on the Djokovic serve. That could be a confidence booster. 8:52 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads *2-1. Dimitrov is just not seeing the ball well today at all. Hasn't had a string of good clean hits on the ball in a while. Serving at 1-all, 40-30, he throws in a bad double-fault and stares back up to the sky as if the sun got in the way of his toss. He earns game point with his fifth forehand winner, but a great return from Djokovic gets him on his heels and he hits an error. Djokovic earns a break point and converts, as Dimitrov gets pulled wide to his backhand and he hits the netcord and the ball deflects long. Another early break for Djokovic and Dimitrov is up against it. He hasn't settled into this match at all, due to a combination of the conditions and Djokovic's clean start to the match. Photo: CARL COURT/AFP/Getty Images First set 8:38 a.m. ET | Novak Djokovic wins the first set 6-4. Love hold for Djokovic to close out the set. That was a flawless start to the match. He lost just four points on his serve and gave away no free points, hitting just three unforced errors. 8:34 a.m. ET | Dimitrov holds, trails *5-4. After 19 consecutive first serves made to start the match Djokovic finally misses one long. Human after all. Both men exchange easy holds. That early break in this set has really taken the air out of the start of this match. 8:29 a.m. ET | Dimitrov holds, trails *4-3. Another easy hold for Djokovic. Why have they been so easy? He's served 15 first serves and they've all gone in. Through three service games he hasn't missed a single one. That makes your job very easy. Love hold for Dimitrov. Photo: CARL COURT/AFP/Getty Images Novak Djokovic broke Grigor Dimitrov to take the lead at 3-2. 8:24 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads *3-2. Djokovic holds easily and then Dimitrov out of nowhere plays an absolutely terrible game. Should have left a ball that was going out but swings and puts it long, then double-faults, then hits a backhand into the middle of the net, and then a forehand approach he sends two yards long. That's a shocker and that will likely cost him the set. The conventional wisdom was that Dimitrov needed to win the first set to make this a match. That might be off the table now. 8:17 a.m. ET | Dimitrov holds, leads 2-1*. Eight points into the match and Dimitrov already broke a string. Not sure how that happened exactly, as he barely gets his racket on a couple of Djokovic's serves before having to swap rackets with Djokovic serving at 40-love. Easy holds to start the match for both men. There's a bit of wind on Centre Court. 8:12 a.m. ET | Warm up It's a warm day in SW19, which is precisely what the forecast called for. Dimitrov was consulting with coach Roger Rasheed about how to handle the heat for this match, which many are expecting to be a long grueling affair. The Royal Box is packed today, with former players and celebrities. Lindsay Davenport, Pam Shriver, Larry Ellison and Bradley Cooper are just a few of the faces all spiffed up today. Oh and Maria Sharapova. She's decided to join us to watch her boyfriend try and upend the No. 1 seed: WATCH: Maria Sharapova takes her seat to support her boyfriend, Grigor Dimitrov. #Wimbledon http://t.co/e6RXCg0lWR — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 4, 2014 Easy warm-up for both men. Dimitrov will serve first. I suspect the British crowd will be backing him today. They love an underdog and he's been getting a lot of ink from the British press the last month, after winning Queen's and then somehow morphing into the "Bulgarian Beckham". Ready? Play .

But the Bulgarian, who ousted defending champion Andy Murray in the quarterfinals, is riding a 10-match winning streak on the grass courts -- he won the title at the Queen's Club before Wimbledon. Before this year, Dimitrov, 23, hadn't advanced past the second round at Wimbledon. Djokovic, 27, won the title in 2011 and was the runner-up last year.

SQL vs. NoSQL
So what about plain-old SQL RDBMSes? Should they be retired from active service? Are they a relic from an earlier time? Not so fast.
First and foremost, ACID transactions most definitely are required in certain use cases. Databases used by banks and stock markets, for example, always must give correct data. Where money is concerned, guessing is not allowed. It is true that no one really cares if your latest tweet takes a couple minutes to show up in your Twitter feed, but the same cannot be said for a billing system or accounting database.
Another thing in favor of RDBMSes is their use of SQL. It's a common language, and if you need to move from one database to another, you usually can get away with making only minor changes to your application, and it will "just work". True, it may not be possible in all cases, depending on how you used or abused the SQL queries in your application, but the foundation for moving easily between different SQL databases is there, and the tools and libraries you can use to interact with your data are plentiful and robust. A unified NoSQL standard query language or API will never exist because every NoSQL database is so different.
On the NoSQL side, the only thing in common is that there is nothing in common. Each NoSQL database has its own set of APIs, libraries and preferred languages for interacting with the data they contain. With an RDBMS, it is trivial to get data out in whatever format you need using whatever programming language you like best. Your choice of a NoSQL database might limit you to one or a handful of programming languages and access methods.
Another thing RDBMSes have going for them is the relational model. The R in RDBMS traces its history back to research by E. F. Codd published in the June 1970 issue of Communications of the ACM. Since then, it has been expanded upon, improved and clarified. The relational model for databases is so popular because it is an excellent way to organize information. It maps very well to an enormous variety of real-world data storage needs, and when properly normalized, it is fast and efficient.
In the relational model, data is stored in tables with rows and columns. An address table, for example, might have columns for street name and number, city, postal code, state or province, and country. A name table might have columns for given names, family name, prefixes (Dr, Rev, Ms and so on) and suffixes (Jr, Sr, Esq and so on). Each row in the individual tables would represent an individual address or name.
The relational part (see the What Does Relational Mean in a Relational Database? sidebar) comes into play as you define which addresses relate to which names using a key. A key is a field (the intersection of a row and column) or combination of fields in a single row that is guaranteed to identify uniquely that particular row in the table it is in. For the address table, you might have a column for keys from the name table. You can use this key to look up just those addresses in the address table that "belong" (by virtue of the key) to a certain name in the name table.
My example is pretty simplistic, but when combined with ACID transactions in an RDBMS, you achieve tremendous power, flexibility and reliability. There is a reason that businesses began using them decades ago and why open-source RDBMSes dominate the Web.
And, what about the Web? The primary argument many people use against RDBMSes is that they "don't scale", which simply isn't true. It is true that some individual RDBMSes do not scale very well or are harder to scale, but that doesn't mean every RDBMS cannot. RDBMSes are in use at every large company. The largest RDBMS installations routinely handle enormous traffic and petabytes of data.
This scaling myth is perpetuated and given credence every time popular Web sites announce that such-and-such RDBMS doesn't meet their needs, and so they are moving to NoSQL database X. The opinion of some in the RDBMS world is that many of these moves are not so much because the database they were using is deficient in some fundamental way, but because it was being used in a way for which it wasn't designed. To make an analogy, it's like people using flat-head screwdrivers to tighten Phillips-head screws, because it worked well enough to get the job done, but now they've discovered it is better to tighten Phillips screws with an actual Phillips screwdriver, and isn't it wonderful, and we should throw away all flat-head screwdrivers, because their time is past, and Phillips is the future.
One recent SQL-to-NoSQL move involved Digg.com moving from MySQL to Cassandra. As part of the move, Digg folks blogged about how they were using MySQL and why it didn't meet their needs. Others were skeptical. Dennis Forbes, in a series of posts on his site (see Resources), questioned whether Digg needed to use a NoSQL solution like Cassandra at all. His claims centered on what he considered very poor database usage on the part of Digg combined with inadequate hardware. In his mind, if Digg had just designed its database properly or switched to using SSDs in its servers, it would have had no problems. His best quote is this: "The way that many are using NoSQL is like discovering the buggy whip at the beginning of the automotive era." Ouch.
Relational databases sometimes can be tricky to design properly. You have to know and understand your data deeply. But when they are designed properly, the performance can be orders of magnitude better compared to poorly designed databases. You also should not overlook the hardware on which your database runs. Databases love as much memory and processing power as you can throw at them, and the traditional spinning-platter disk drive has long been a limiting factor. Does the high performance of SSDs herald a new age of RDBMS performance? Many experts say yes. SSDs may be a game-changer in the database world.
Relational SQL databases have been around for several decades. They have proven reliability and performance and a feature set that meets the requirements of 99% of the use cases out there. They even make excellent key-value databases, if that's the type of data you have. There are only very few companies that can't make a relational database work for them. You may not like to hear it, but with the law of averages, chances are your company is not one of them.
Yap what more can you say
Yes this article exactly matches the situation today with SQL/NoSQL movements.
Very good analysis.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Anne Rung, President Barack Obama's nominee to be the next administrator at the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, took another step torward that goal Wednesday.
Anne Rung
The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee approved Rung for the position during a voice vote Wednesday. Rung's nomination hearing was held the week before.
The full Senate must confirm Rung before she can assume her position at OFPP. No word yet on when that might happen.
If confirmed, Rung will replace Joe Jordan, who left his role as OFPP administrator in December to join private sector firm FedBid.
Rung joined the Office of Management and Budget as a senior adviser in May. Previously, she was the associate administrator of the General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy.

Not sure if this belongs in this forum and if it does not, I apologize.
I'm looking for some help. I have a code:
This code displays the ratings when you mouseover and hides them when you mouseout because I have a javascript function set up:Code: <if="author['mgroup'] != 14"> {$post['signature']}

 </if> {$post['ratings']}
My problem is that I want the ratings to be hidden by default and only show up when you mouseover and then hide again when mouseout. Right now the ratings are showing by default. Can anyone help me, how would I go about hiding the ratings by default? Thanks in advance.Code:function OnHoverPost( $postid ) { $( 'rb_' + $postid ).show(); } function OnUnHoverPost( $postid ) { $( 'rb_' + $postid ).hide(); }
