Swift is a new language developed by Apple for iOS and OS X development. Introduced at Apple's developer conference WWDC 2014, the language is designed to eventually replace Objective-C and provide several important benefits, one of which is greater resilience against erroneous code.
In this article, I assess how Swift compares with Objective-C from the security perspective. My team based our comparison on Apple's Secure Coding Guide document, examining the various security vulnerabilities stated in the document and checking if they can be exploited in Swift. It is important to mention that we explored only loopholes that exist in Objective-C, not new ones that might exist in Swift.
In each case, we use the typical classification for defects, which include the category, the severity, and the likelihood that the vulnerability might be exploited.
Integer Overflow
Severity: High
Likelihood of Exploit: Medium
The Integer Overflow vulnerability can be exploited when user-supplied input is used in calculating the amount of memory that is to be allocated. When the user input is not validated, there is the potential for a malicious user to enter a number that is too large for the integer data type, which can cause program crashes among other problems.
In two's-complement arithmetic, a negative number is represented by inverting all the bits of the binary number and adding 1. When the digit in the most-significant bit is 1, it indicates a negative number. Therefore, in Objective-C:
int a = 2147483647; a += 1; // a == -2147483648
In Swift, integer overflow cannot be used for security exploitation. In contrast with Objective-C's behavior, an overflow causes a runtime error in Swift, making it impossible for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. For example, in Swift:
var a : CInt = 2147483647 a += 1 // Runtime error
In sum, Swift shows across-the-board improvement and is immune to the Integer Overflow vulnerability, unlike the older Objective-C.
Buffer Overflow
Severity: Very High
Likelihood of Exploit: High to Very High
A buffer overflow occurs when an application attempts to write data past the end of a buffer. These overflows can cause applications to crash, compromise data, and provide an attack vector for further privilege escalation. Books on software security invariably mention buffer overflows as a major source of vulnerabilities. Approximately 26 percent of the exploits published by United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) for 2012 involved buffer overflows.
In Objective-C, a buffer overflow may be caused by incorrect pointer manipulations, by incorrectly allocating heap memory, or by incorrect C-string manipulation. For example:
size_tinput_size = getchar(); char* buf = malloc(input_size); gets(buf); // if more than input_size bytes is available for input, heap overflow occurs
The surprising fact is that the same kind of heap overflow can be reproduced in Swift. Although Swift does not have pointers, which are the cause of buffer overflow bugs, it has a capability to call C functions. To make this C function calling possible, Swift provides some pointer-like constructs, such as
UnsafePointer. By using these constructs, it is eventually possible to reproduce the exact same heap overflow:
let inputSize : Int32 = getchar() let buf = UnsafePointer<Int8>.alloc(Int(inputSize)) gets(buf) // if more than input_size bytes is available for input, heap overflow occurs * /
Stack overflow is also possible through this C-compatibility mechanism. Here we demonstrate changing the value of a local constant via pointer manipulation:
func addrExt(p:UnsafePointer<Int>) ->UnsafePointer<Int> { return p } var a = 222 let b = 333 let pa : UnsafePointer<Int> = addrExt(&a) pa.successor().initialize(444) println(b) // Prints 444
In sum, the risk of buffer overflows in Swift is lower than in Objective-C due to the lack of pointers, although it is still possible to mistakenly create a loophole. Fortunately, Swift's term,
UnsafePointer, is a reminder of the dangers of this feature.

Treat the multiple triggers behind inflammation for lasting relief from sensitivity flare-ups.
Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin's highly reactive state. The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin's protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.
UltraCalming™ contains UltraCalming™ Complex, our exclusive complex clinically proven to control neurogenic and immunogenic inflammatory pathways that lead to skin sensitivity.

From Openmoko
CDMA Version
Currently there is no such version planned.
The reason is simple:
Openmoko is about free phones.
We are currently not aware of any carrier using CDMA and supplying R-UIM (smartcards, similar to SIM cards in GSM networks).
Every phone needs to be provisioned by the carrier itself.
Most CDMA phones do not even have a R-UIM slot it seems.
Thus a CDMA Version is currently not feasible.
Verizon Wireless recently announced their 'Any Apps, Any Device' option for their customers in 2008. With this announcement, a CDMA2K-EVDO-based OpenMoko has become a distinct possibility.
This page is to suggest the possibility of a CDMA version of the OpenMoko and see if there would be any interest in accomplishing this:
Leave your nickname here if you are interested in a CDMA version.
- NeoSpawn -- Being a current Verizon wireless user, they use a CDMA system, and so I would very much buy OpenMoko if it is a phone that I have full access. This would be unheard of, and honestly I think this would take off like a wildfire
- dyous87 -- CDMA support for carriers such as Verizon wireless is all I would need to get this phone. If this comes out I would get it without having to think twice.
- SteveoSupremo -- I am willing and able to do hardware design. And if FIC wants it I will sign a NDA.
- Ryuch 06:48, 26 October 2007 (CEST)
- Andronov Philipp 27 October 2007 it would be greate to have CDMA smartphone
- brusstoc Nov 2007 - I am interested. (if this is an 'open' phone, then we should not eliminate carriers just because they are short-sighted, right?)
- artlex Nov 27th 2007 - Now that Verizon has decided to open up their CDMA network to all device makers in 2008 (for a 'small' fee), isn't this very desirable? In my area Verizon coverage is superior to all others. (http://news.vzw.com/news/2007/11/pr2007-11-27.html)
- aesiamun Mar 11th 2008 - Acutally Verizon is moving to a GSM network. They are building out a GSM-based network called LTE http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/verizon-dumps-cdma-for-gsm-based-lte-in-4g-networks
- RyanT5000 05:20, 28 November 2007 (CET) - I'm currently locked into a Verizon plan, and this phone seems clearly superior to all the Verizon phones (except for slide-out keyboards, which some prefer). If I understand correctly, Sprint's selection is almost as bad. OpenMoko could capture a huge segment of the CDMA high-end phone market, especially since there's no indication that a CDMA iPhone will be released any time soon.
- Endingexodus Feb, 9th 2008 - As I currently use Verizon, I would very much like to see a Verizon compatible phone, I am in agreement with brusstoc, in which if openmoko is truly open, it would be compatible with as many carriers as possible. A higher price for a more specialized phone would not be terrible.
- Swagger March 1st, 2008 - I'm currently a Sprint customer and I would LOVE a CDMA version of this phone. The current selection of smart phones is crap.
- derekv March 22nd, 08 - Verizon Customer, I get good service with Verizon but their selection of phones is terrible. At the moment they only have one linux based phone, which is their cdma/gsm "worldphone". I'm curious to see how this "any device" thing is going to pan out. It could change everything. Having not looked at the hardware design, would it be possible for a phone to be configurable for different networks by having hardware modules? Even if the phone had to be taken apart, it would allow you to switch networks and travel more easily, as well as upgrade, while not having to pay for networks you don't want -- ideally -- perhaps -- maybe --
- sarumont March 24th, 2008 - I'm currently a Sprint customer and I would LOVE a CDMA version of this phone. My HTC Touch is horrible, but the GSM carriers in the US are worse.
- heathhey April 14th 2008 - I would gladly pay $600 for a cdma freerunner. I am moving to a rural area that is only serviced by CDMA carriers (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel). I'm currently trying to decide which of verizon's terrible phones I want to be saddled with for the next two years, and I would much rather it be the Freerunner.
- wldtazm4 April 20th 2008 - I would be so happy if they opened it up for cdma I love verizon, but they don't have any phones that I like. this phone is an awsome phone by the looks of it...free runner all the way!

Remember a few weeks ago when Microsoft caused a minor stir by saying that the Xbox One wouldn't include a headset out of the box? Turns out that's not the case anymore. Like so much else regarding the system, Microsoft has reversed its position and decided to include a headset with the Xbox One after all.
Xbox Community Manager Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb showed off the included headset in an unboxing video for one of the first production units of the system. That video, posted today, shows the unboxing for the limited "Day One" edition of the system, which is already completely sold out. Microsoft has confirmed that all systems will include the standard headset: a 44 gram padded earpiece with a bendable, rotating boom mic that allows it to be used in either ear.
Microsoft is also using the unboxing to highlight the previously known ability for all Xbox One controllers to plug into the system directly using a standard USB micro cable. When plugged in, the controller's wireless radio will turn off and the controller will actually be powered by the system, eliminating the need for batteries. If you have a play and charge kit, you can also charge the controller as you play through this standard USB connection rather than the proprietary cable used on the Xbox 360.
Microsoft is making a big deal of the HDMI cable it includes, a Category 2 wire rated for 1080p, 3D, and 4K on the HDMI 1.4 spec. The system also upgrades the Xbox 360's current A/B/G/N wireless functions to include dual-band support on 2.4 and 5 Ghz frequencies.

President's Scholars Program
The President's Scholars Program attracts some of the most academically gifted students in the nation. Each year SMU invites 20-25 of the most gifted first-year students in the entering class to receive President's Scholarships: the highest academic merit awards given by the University. The President's Scholars Program is so named because it represents the University's highest commitment to attract and serve high-achieving students. President's Scholarships provide full-tuition and fees for eight consecutive fall and spring academic semesters or graduation, whichever comes first.
Since its founding in 1982, the President's Scholars Program has provided a world of opportunity to some of the nation's brightest students, who in turn enrich the University environment with their intellectual vitality, diverse talents, and campus involvement.
President's Scholars also receive travel expenses and tuition for study abroad, choosing from more than 100 programs throughout the world. Some President's Scholars take advantage of SMU summer programs abroad, while others compete to be admitted as students for a year at prestigious universities abroad such as those in Great Britain.
Scholars also have opportunities to meet world leaders on campus for the Willis M. Tate Distinguished Lecture Series, which sponsors several of the scholars. In its 37 years, the Series has brought to campus three former U.S. presidents, nine foreign heads of state, eight Nobel Laureates, and two Supreme Court Justices. For more information, the Tate web site can be visited at www.tateseries.com.
President's Scholars join a tight-knit community of highly motivated students and dedicated faculty and staff mentors. Activities throughout the year include the annual retreat at the SMU-in-Taos campus, located on the site of a pre-civil war fort and a 13th century Anasazi pueblo nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico. Dinner discussions at faculty members' homes bring scholars together with other professors for conversations about current events and hot topics. Many scholars interact with corporate and community leaders who underwrite their scholarships and offer mentoring opportunities. SMU President R. Gerald Turner also welcomes scholars to his home for special events.
President's Scholars join the University Honors Program, which fosters an intellectual community through challenging interdisciplinary courses, student-initiated research, internships, and classes taught by exceptional faculty (www.smu.edu/honors). It is not unusual for President's Scholars to combine double or triple majors across disciplines, while also actively participating in campus life. After graduation, many continue their studies at distinguished medical, law, and other graduate schools throughout the world.
Many President's Scholars are leaders in student government and serve on committees of the SMU Board of Trustees, the governing body of the University. SMU is one of the few universities in the nation to have a voting student-member on its Board of Trustees, along with student members serving on all Board committees.

Musings on Baseball and Wine – Hey, It's January. What Do You Want? ;)
All work and no baseball makes Kristen a sad girl…a most unacceptable state of affairs if you ask Kristen, I can tell you that. Lacking the ability to add baseball to the equation, clearly it was time to mix in a little playtime. It's a three day weekend, so naturally Seth and I lit out for Cambria and Paso Robles the second we were both off work and packed up on Friday night. Yeah, it was a 4 and half hour drive starting at 8 p.m. So what? Brown footed loons are naturally nocturnal…and diurnal and crepuscular for that matter, whichever natural activity cycle is apt to lead to greater work productivity and/or a good time. We're adaptable like that. Anyway, as we noted walking around town this morning, the Cambria/Paso Robles/long weekend/random weekend thing has been our thing for as long as there has been an us. Some years, I think we use the house more than his parents do…other years I know we do.
And after this many years of coming up here to California's Central Coast wine county, I can tell you that that natural cycles of baseball and California wine mirror each other in so many different ways it's a wonder they aren't more closely associated than the more traditional pairing of baseball and beer. Just to name a few:
- In California, wine's biggest event, its Fall Classic if you will, is the Harvest and crush (literally what it sounds like) which occurs in October. And, much like in baseball, you really want to get it over with before you hit November if at all possible.
- While wine blending, bottling and selling can occur all year long depending on what varietals a winery offers, the majority of the blending, the tinkering with the 25 man roster if you will, occurs in February and March and again in the early summer months.
- Rookie wines can be excellent right out of the bottle, or take several years of aging and conditioning before they really show their stuff, and the aging almost always improves the end result.
- Some winemakers rely on their own farm system, growing the majority of their own grapes. Others rely on the farm systems of their colleagues. Trades and outright "free agency" purchases are common.
- Many amateur aficionados think they know almost as much as or ever better than the professionals…and a lot of them have blogs. 😉
- Both the aficionados and the professional raters rely on often obscure numbers and statistics that are not necessarily what the actual wine makers, being more of a by taste, gut instinct and experience sort, rely on when putting together the finished product.
- And then, there is the fickle finger of fate thing. Just as really promising rookies may fail to live up to their potential or excellent ballplayers suffer career ending injuries, sometimes nature says "nope, I don't think so" in the form of a drought, or quite the opposite, or any number of other minor disasters and the grapes just don't live up to their potential either.
This last bit really speaks to what's happening in Paso Robles and I would imagine the rest of California's winery regions this year. California didn't really have much of a summer in 2011. And, while consistent balmy mid 70's weather is wonderful for tourism and fantastic fodder for any number of movies, it absolutely sucks for grapes which need hot days and cool breezes at night in order to fully develop the sugars that eventually ferment into the delicious nectar we enjoy. That kind of weather was in short supply this off season, much like free-agent starting pitchers of quality.
And, much like baseball teams with said starting pitchers, wineries tried different things to insure victory, from leaving the grapes on the vines an extra long time, risking catastrophic rain storms, to stripping the leaves off to give the gapes the full benefit of the sun, risking malnourishment and, should the heat wave finally come, scorched grapes. Just as in baseball, some wineries lucked out and some did not (the Angels clearly falling in the former category here). And it's safe to say that in both worlds a lot of teams/wineries have rebuilding years ahead of them. But here's the thing about rebuilding years in wine or in baseball that a lot of folks forget. Rebuilding necessities can lead to unexpected levels of creativity and take us in directions we never thought we could go. And, every now and then, this leads to an even better result than anyone could have possibly imagined. I can't wait to see how the fruits of 2011 and early 2012 work out for everyone, on the field and in my glass. Cheers!

GateHouse News Service
Back to school means schedules, deadlines, projects and responsibility. Some parents and children associate a new school year with stress, meltdowns and arguments. Gear up with enthusiasm, planning and effort. Pave a path for your children to do their best this year by following some simple guidelines:
Communicate with enthusiasm
While purchasing school supplies with your child, talk about how excited you are about the school year. Pique interest with what he or she may learn. Use phrases such as �I can�t wait to hear about your science experiments this year� or �I wonder what books your class will read in English.� It gives an unspoken message that you expect great things, and that you will be involved and supportive. Throughout the year, remember that you are your child�s cheerleader. If your child begins to complain about the workload or teacher, provide a listening ear with encouragement to work through it. Help him to understand that school is his job. Guide him to give it his best effort, assuring that you will help him along the way.
Get organized
Pick up extras � crayons, markers, a ruler, stapler, tape, glue, a hole punch, pens, pencils, erasers, and a compass or calculator � for a Homework Basket. Items can be purchased at a dollar store, and will be worth your $10 investment. For added excitement, purchase seasonal pencils or erasers to hold interest and enthusiasm. The basket teaches organizational skills and eliminates any excuse of not being able to do homework because �I can�t find my markers!�
Be present
As much as possible, remain near your child, especially during early learning years, to answer questions and provide support. Do an occasional �walk-by�, where you give a kiss on the head or a pat on the back. Those touches are an unspoken message that you are there for him and are proud of his hard work. Add a few encouraging words. Intermittent statements, such as �I�m proud of you� or �I love to watch you work,� will spark interest, enthusiasm and endurance.
Set a schedule
Determine a homework schedule that suits your child. Many parents feel children need to play after school to run off energy after a long day. However, your child might be better able to complete his work � without complaints and in a timely manner � when given a re-fueling power snack. The incentive is that when homework is complete, then he or she may play. Children who play immediately after school may not fully enjoy their time as their assignments loom over their heads. Many children are engaged in after-school activities, and homework cannot be started until later. No matter what your busy schedule brings, if your child is not completely successful with his homework, make adjustments and figure out what will work. For added time-management, teach your child to identify test or project due dates on his own calendar with color coded sticker dots.
Watch distractions
If siblings are a distraction, invite everyone to the table to do their work. Fill a special Homework Basket for younger children with quiet activities. Younger children love to be included and feel important when provided with early learning workbooks. Picture books, coloring books, special crayons, dot-to-dots and flash cards will hold your child�s interest. Teach him your expectations of working quietly and carefully.
School is your child�s pathway to success. Get him started on the right road!

Basic dimensions of the Aura Vent and it's identifying attributes. Primary identifying dimensions of vents and fans are the inside diameter of the Head, which equals the diameter of the hole being vented, and the height of the Collar which is the solid tube between the Head of the vent and the Flange which attaches to the roof.

Louvers are the vertical openings in the vent, which facilitates the flow of air, while keeping animals, insects, debris, and embers out. The combination of inner and outer Louvers on our signature "Aura" series of vents and fans are shaped to create a positive vacuum effect which draws air out of the vent, utilizing a physical principle known as the Venturi effect.

Expected snow and rain in your region and the pitch of the roof are the key consideration when choosing the height of the collar of your roof vents. Zones 1 and 2 are not expected to sustain significant snow packs, while zones 3-7 are likely to experience snow, possibly for weeks or months. Vent collars under 4 inches are inappropriate for flat (0/12 pitch) roofs because even heavy rain can splash water into a shorter vent.

Are financial advisors paid too much?
There is a notion prevalent in the academic literature and at the popular level that financial advisors claim an undue share of the national wealth. Specifically, some question if something nefarious such as unfair, rent-seeking behavior might explain why total compensation of financial intermediaries is at all-time high of 9% of GDP.
A newly published academic paper takes a far more benign view of financial sector compensation, arguing that the financial sector's share of GDP is related to the growing importance of wealth preservation in a maturing economy.
The 40-page working paper by Nicola Gennaioli of Università Bocconi, Andrei Shleifer of Harvard University and Robert Vishny of the University of Chicago—titled "Finance and the Preservation of Wealth"—also finds other causes of the financial sector's rise and fall in economic history.
Financial advisors will not be surprised that declines in productivity and, especially, trust reduce opportunities for advisors in the long run, though they may be surprised that in the short run productivity drops enhance their prospects.
"This is because the drop in productivity reduces GDP and growth opportunities a lot but leaves the wealth preservation service of the financial sector relatively unaffected," the authors writes. "As a consequence, the financial sector shrinks less than GDP, increasing the share of national income going to finance."
Gennaioli, Shleifer and Vishny point out that the finance sector's share of national wealth ebbs and flows over the years, rising from 2% of GDP in the 1940s to about 8% at the time of the financial crisis.
Its level before the Great Depression was 6%, but that earlier economic crisis "in all likelihood combined a decline in productivity with a sharp decline in trust in the financial system," which took fully 40 years to reverse, assuming prewar levels only in the 1980s.
That financial intermediaries' share of national wealth rose to prewar levels decades after U.S. productivity and wealth surpassed prewar levels illustrates the key role trust plays in lubricating the financial economy.
A related and counterintuitive insight is that competition in the seemingly crowded financial sector increases intermediaries' wealth. That broker down the street is not eating your lunch but rather adding to the overall level of trust.
"Part of the reason why the income of the financial sector grows over time is that the entry of new intermediaries increases the proximity of money managers to investors, increasing risk taking and the size of the financial sector," the three researchers write.
New entrants "got 'closer' to their clients and therefore became more trusted," they add.
Gennaioli, Shleifer and Vishny refer to financial intermediaries—bankers, brokers, wealth planners, or money managers—as "money doctors," suggesting that an innate lack of confidence draws savers to professionals without whom they would be putting their money into mattresses and gold.
Economic growth and trust, far from mere slogans, are the tide upon which financial advisors' careers rise.
"An important byproduct of economic growth, entry by financial intermediaries and reduction in fees is that investors allocate increasing shares of their wealth to intermediated financial products, rather than to self-storage" [i.e., mattresses and gold].
Indeed, a rising level of trust seems to bring with it increasingly sophisticated financial products and commensurate increases in fees.
"We draw a sharp distinction between self-storage, which requires no intermediation, and risky investments, which require money managers. In reality, the gradation is more continuous, from cash in mattresses and gold, to bank savings, to liquid market investments, to illiquid investments such as private equity and hedge funds, with increasing amounts of intermediary attention (and cost)."
In another counterintuitive idea, diminishing returns on capital over time reduce unit management fees. Yet, "despite this reduction in unit fees, the aggregate income earned by money managers grows over time. This is because the growth in the size of the intermediated wealth more than compensates for the reduction in unit fees, and causes financial sector income to rise over time. In our model financial sector income grows faster than value added, so the ratio of financial sector income to GDP grows over time," the authors write.
For financial advisors, this sounds too good to be true. The task of wealth preservation keeps their incomes rising—unless and until…"a drop in either productivity or trust causes financial intermediation to shrink."
As previously mentioned, a drop in productivity actually enhances intermediaries' wealth in the short term because advisors' wealth preservation role remains relatively unaffected, thus increasing GDP share as other sectors decline.
A decline in trust, however, sends a shock to the system.
"As trust suddenly dissipates (owing, for instance, to a financial crisis), individual [sic] take money out of the financial sector and put it into mattresses (self-storage). This reduces financial intermediation and the financing of profitable investment opportunities. Income reductions reduce the stock of wealth, further undermining the ability to finance investment in the future. This process generates a persistent contraction in financial intermediation and income until the new, lower, equilibrium is attained," the authors write.
The working paper is filled with equations and technical jargon, but it offers some fresh thinking on what advisors need to fear (scandal, lack of trust, economic downturn) and what they perhaps needn't fear (competition). None of the paper's three authors could be reached by AdvisorOne.

If you have a hard time getting on the treadmill or dragging yourself to the gym on a regular basis, you know that it can be tough to stay motivated. Without people in your life to help you stick to fitness goals, it can be even tougher. Maybe you're one of those people who is really addicted to the joys of training for a specific sport or for health reasons. Or maybe, like many of us, you're somewhere in the middle. You work out with some regularity, but you sometimes need a little boost to get your running shoes on.
These days, our gadgets follow us into the weight room or the running trail, and there are already plenty of apps that help track your training workouts, running routes, and nutrition. Some of my favorites include RunKeeper, DailyMile or LoseIt. Over the years, I have tried dozens of these apps, and a few have helped me track my workouts to an amazing level of detail. However, my experiences with these apps are usually mine alone. Finding other runners or strength training friends generally happens outside the apps. If you use your mobile phone to help you train, you may feel lonely after so much data-entry tapping. The fitness app Fitocracy potentially solves this issue. Fitocracy has only been around for less than two years, but it is already gathering a following as a platform that encourages discipline and consistency through social and gaming elements.
How it works
Fitocracy started out as an invite-only Web application. Over time, the company's user base has grown to 600,000 people, according to CEO Brian Wang. The app is currently available on the iPhone; iPad and Android versions are in the works. The secret to Fitocracy's recent surge of success is simple. The app asks you to track your workout data, and you are rewarded by a system of power-ups, achievements, and challenges that come straight from the world of role-playing video games. Fitocracy also encourages you to get more social with other fitness enthusiasts, creating a community of people who are competing with you, but also applaud you for your achievements.
Getting started with the app is simple. You can register for a new account in the app (or on the Fitocracy website) by using an e-mail address, or your Twitter or Facebook credentials. Because the app is geared toward social interaction, the tutorial animations prompt you to first fill out a profile. Fitocracy keeps things simple; you'll only be asked for a user name, profile pic, and bio. You can also enter your weight, but the app won't display that to fellow friends and competitors. It's a nice touch of privacy, and adds a bit of relief in case your goals are related to weight loss and you're worried about what others might think.
The app navigation is divided into five major areas (with a button for each one): Feed, Groups, Track, Leaders, and You. Under the feed, you'll find a feed of status updates from other users, as well as announcements about who has leveled up and conquered new challenges in the app. Groups provide access to a nice roundup of different niche interests in fitness, and the selections are pretty impressive. I found groups focused on strength training, powerlifting, Crossfit, yoga, running, and even dietary/lifestyle groups such as Paleo. Once you join a group, you get a mini feed of peoples' questions and comments about the topic. I found that most discussions in these groups were very active, even though it's composed of short status messages. You can't post images, but the groups do support hyperlinks.
The groups are one of the reasons that Fitocracy feels like a real community. Not everyone is a runner, and not everyone is interested in bodybuilding. By finding the group that works best for your specific interests, you can begin to follow other users who you may have more in common with.
The Leaders button takes you to a leaderboard where you can see the top users of the app. You can also view just users you follow or users by gender.
Tracking is simple. By using the Track button, you can add hundreds of training sets and reps from a built-in, searchable library of activities and put together a workout for a single day. Adding sets and reps just takes a quick tap, and you can remove them with a swipe. Once you're done entering your data, you can submit your workout. The app awards you points for each of your day's activities, and the wait for the calculation is pretty fun. If you get enough points, you'll level up, just like you level up your mage in games like Final Fantasy.
Fitocracy can import data from RunKeeper, so if you're using RunKeeper to log your training, it can make things easier. Still, Fitocracy doesn't support the GPS tracking features found in other apps. You can also export your own data anytime as a CSV file.
Similar to Facebook's Like button, Fitocracy lets users "give props" to their friends to encourage more activity. This social integration makes it easy to follow people and make new friends. It's a bit reminiscent of the early days of Twitter, when users followed many new accounts because the community was smaller and people were getting to know who was there. Receiving props is surprisingly one of the most effective parts of the app. When users encourage you after your workout, you feel a great amount of support.
Leveling up and notifications
Milestones in fitness can really help with one's self-confidence. If you've ever set out to do a set of ten chin-ups, you know that it can take weeks to accomplish it, and when you do, you feel like celebrating. Fitocracy has a built-in database of these milestones, and when you track workouts, you are sometimes rewarded for completing these "quests." In my case, I was rewarded for running 5K, training on the bench, and logging ten sets of exercises in a week. Getting rewarded for staying consistent and working with small, incremental goals really feels good.
Fitocracy displays your achievements right in your profile, and other users can poke around to see how far you've come. I consider myself pretty fit: I do strength training and I run about 5-6 times per week. Even with my previous experience, I was still delighted each time the app commended me for completing quests. Most achievements come from physical feats, like running 1,000 miles or performing 30 pull-ups in a single set. Others come from being social, so if you're good at talking to other people and encouraging them, you can also earn these achievement badges.
Fitocracy is free, but you'll have to pay for one of its more interesting features. For $4.99 per month, users can engage in a one-on-one fitness challenge. You can pick the style of combat, whether it's a max-rep squat or running a half marathon. Those challenges are also prominently featured in the app.
The app's purple and white interface is elegant, but the gestures needed to retrieve notifications can get a bit repetitive. It's easy to miss the notifications that appear in the upper right-hand corner, and navigating through them to get to other user's profiles involves too many swipes. I found myself losing a lot of precious time going back and forth to get to people I followed or to give props.
Tracking your fitness data is nothing new in the world of Web and mobile apps. What I liked about Fitocracy is that it has created a welcoming place and an original interface for people who are new to fitness. If your goal is to lose weight or take up a walking regimen, it can be a good space to find others that will encourage your efforts without judgment. I was also surprised by the community of more advanced users. Some Internet forums for running, endurance sports, and strength training are home to disputes and trolling, but I've found that Fitocracy's advanced users are very encouraging.
Is Fitocracy truly like a video game? Not really. It's definitely more of a social app, but you can tell that the developers enjoy a good RPG—the point system and achievements are satisfying. I obsess about tracking workout data, and the app helps me keep a good record of my efforts while connecting with new people. I hope more gaming elements appear in the future, since I found them so motivating after a day in the weight room and after my runs.
The good:
- Easy to get started and track your workouts
- Support for various activities, including strength training, cardio, yoga, and stretches
- The gaming elements make tracking workouts very fun
- Integration with RunKeeper accounts
The bad:
- Navigation elements can be clunky and frustrating
- Some features, like sharing to Tumblr, are only available on the Web version
- The app could use more gaming elements

Apple Inc.'s announcement of the iPad mini on Oct. 23 was widely expected. It was the second announcement that caught many industry observers off guard -- going against the typical one iPad-per-year product cycle, Apple stunned reporters with the announcement of a fourth-generation iPad (or iPad 4), just over six months since the launch of the iPad 3.
The iPad 4 introduces a new variant on the Apple A6 processor found within the iPhone 5. The Apple iPad 4 features the latest processor in the "A" family, the A6X. Like the A6, the A6X features two customized ARM cores. However, this new processor features four graphic cores, as opposed to the three graphic cores featured in the A6.
Apart from the change in processor, Apple has been quite mum on what other changes are featured in the latest iPad. Will taking apart this device reveal some design changes from the previous-generation iPad, or has Apple created a product that only requires a change of software and a swapout of processors?
Taking a look inside will answer those questions. Click on the photo below to check it out.

Containers That Never Change
Last week, I introduced a programming style that never changes the value of a variable once that value has been established. In that article, I made a statement that one reader questioned:
If we try to write this program recursively using the technique we mentioned earlier, we find that each recursive call passes the entire result array as an argument. As a result, the program's runtime will be quadratic in the number of iterations — hardly a happy state of affairs.
Here's why I made this claim.
We start with the example to which I was referring last week:
vector<unsigned> collatz_vec(unsigned n) { assert(n != 0); vector<unsigned> result; while (n != 1) { result.push_back(n); if (n % 2 == 0) n /= 2; else n = 3 * n + 1; } return result; }
Next, we rewrite it as a tail-recursive function. We do so by observing that the variables that change in the loop are
result and
n, so we define an auxiliary function with those values as parameters:
vector<unsigned> collatz_aux(unsigned n, vector<unsigned> result) { if (n == 1) return result; new_result = concat(result, n); if (n % 2 == 0) return collatz_aux(n / 2, new_result); else return collatz_aux(3 * n + 1, new_result); }
We now rewrite our
collatz_vec function to call our auxiliary function:
vector<unsigned> collatz_vec(unsigned n) { assert (n != 0); return collatz_aux(n, vector<unsigned>()); }
The subexpression
vector<unsigned>() is a convenient way of constructing a
vector with no elements.
At this point, we have a problem: How do we write
concat? The obvious technique is something like this:
vector<unsigned> concat(vector<unsigned> v, unsigned n) { v.push_back(n); return v; }
This function violates the restriction we wished to impose against changing the value of a variable once such a value was established. Unfortunately, so long as we stick with
vectors, it's the best we can do. At least, by using this function, we have been able to encapsulate the idea of appending an element to a
vector to create a new
vector. However, this function copies all of the elements of
v, which means that our
collatz_vec function winds up running in quadratic time — because as result grows, all of the vector's elements must be copied on each iteration.
In short, in order to make the recursive
collatz_vec function run in a reasonable amount of time, we need some kind of
vector-like data structure that allows us to append an element in O(1) time, rather than having to copy all of the elements each time we wish to append one. Putting it more simply, the whole notion of appending rests on being able to change the data structure to which we are appending. What we want is to be able to create a new data structure that contains all of the elements of the old one, along with one additional element, and we wish to do so in O(1) time.
There are many data structures of this kind. Lisp used one of the simpler ones. Next week I'll start explaining how it works.

That is correct. Major asset allocation such as stock / bond ratio will follow a 5% band. It works as follows:Dieharder - Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. It sounds like you re-balance based off of being over/short a certain percentage in your allocations, correct? Rather than just re-balancing every quarter-end, for example. I"m still trying to determine which path to go with. I personally like the idea of only rebalancing every quarter or semi-annually to reduce the tax implications and since I'm lazy. :lol:
stock / bond ratio 60/40 - you rebalance when stocks are at 65% or 55%
As I have found out over time, it takes extreme market moves to drop the asset allocation to this level. Last time I had to do this was in 2008 and last week is only the second instance in three years.
Under normal market conditions, even with new money going into cash, my AA rarely shift above 2% to 3% range between stocks / bonds.
I have found that this technique avoids re-balancing too frequently, and thus allows momentum to play out. It still does not capture the market bottom, if I were to modify this to a 10% band then I think I would have bought at the market low in 2009 and not late 2008 which was still early.
But that kind of market moves are rare, at least prior to 2008 and so far experienced this month. I think 5% band is reasonable to let you re-balance after capturing momentum effect, you may not catch the bottom, but the idea of re-balancing is never to do that.
The other thing I mentioned is instead of buying equity / bond in a fixed ratio with new contributions, I have decided to let all new contributions go into cash after 2009. Therefore I am not re-balancing when equities go up, only buying them when they go down because I am accumulating cash on the side while equities are going up. It's same as selling them and buying fixed income. Once equities fall, I use the accumulated cash to buy them.
It is easier to track the transactions and you can determine the purchase instead of your paycheck schedule deciding it for you.
