DaniWeb IT Discussion Community http://www.daniweb.com/forums/dani-images/misc/dani/logo.gif http://www.daniweb.com Mashup Twitter and Yahoo to get TweetNews http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3806.html According to Vik Singh of the Yahoo! BOSS team, the combination of Twitter and BOSS is a real time news search facility that can mash Yahoo news with Twitter topics. What you end up with is the most timely delivery of news you can get, certainly much more so than the likes of even Google News for example. BOSS, in case it has passed you by, is the Yahoo! open search web services platform and stands for Build your Own Search Service. The idea behind BOSS is simple enough, to foster innovation within the search industry. If TweetNews is anything to go by, then I would say it is working. In...

I've given our Government and various people a hard time - if they cared what I said it'd hurt. I've said these things are managerial rather than technical. And I've had a nagging feeling that it might, just might, not be completely fair to blame the UK and just about nobody else. As a UK resident clearly I get the UK stories rather than the others. Until now. I'm happy to be able to confirm that the White House has lost a whole load of e-mails dating back years. And a judge has ordered the...

My first reaction was surprise. Six months? That sounded serious. Then disgust, as Internet trolls had Jobs on his death bed. As The New York Times reports, Jobs’ condition isn’t related to his bout with pancreatic cancer. According to The Times, it’s for a different medical disorder where his digestive system is having difficult processing food. Again, pretty serious stuff, but not the terminal disease that so many...

My my, talk about a tempest in a tea pot. The Times attributed this bit of profundity to a prestigious Harvard University physicist named Alex Wissner-Gross, who is working on research on the environmental impact of computing. It came out later in the week after everyone thought about it that this didn't add up. The Times quickly back-pedaled on story and Wissner-Gross said the writers had mis-interpreted what he said, but...

So just how sick is Steve Jobs? Last year the mention of the word cancer in the same breath as 'Steve Jobs' was enough to send Apple shares into freefall. Stories circulated that he was planning to quit Apple and there were even reports that he had died. No wonder, as Apple grabs record market share for the Mac OS the rapidly thinning Apple CEO has been, rather belatedly, trying to fire-fight the ill health rumour machine....

Here's a big secret; it isn't. Late last years someone bought a system on eBay which had loads of private information on the hard drive. It should, said the original owner (the Social Services in the UK if I recall correctly) have been destroyed, whereas it looked as though someone had stolen it from a dump. Well guess what - that's the fault of the person whose job it was to destroy the data in the first place, not the poor sap who ends up with a...

His (or her?) company has instituted a new scheduling policy known as "9/80." It compresses 80 hours of work into only nine days, instead of the more traditional 10. In exchange for working longer days, employees get every other Friday off. The reader wonders about the practicality of such an arrangement and asks, "Is your system flexible? Do you find time to get personal stuff done during the week? Is Friday good for anything other than catching up on lost sleep? And perhaps most important, do your managers respect the...

The falloff is primarily from the news that consumer/retail spending fell 2.7% in December – twice the amount that economists had expected. At least the companies I mentioned above don’t have the problems that Nortel Networks has. Nortel, the largest manufacturer of telephone equipment in North America, filed for bankruptcy this morning, sending its own shares plummeting 75% to 07.5 cents in early morning trading. Word on the street was that Nortel... Internet Marketing Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:50:15 CST Brian.oco http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3798.html Remember the Perverts on Facebook? Uh, Never Mind http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3795.html A Harvard-based task force convened by 50 Attorneys General that spent a year researching the issue of sexual solicitation of children online has found out that there actually isn't a problem. According to the New York Times, which obtained a copy of the report from the Internet Safety Technical Task Force due to be released Wednesday, the fears that older adults were using popular Web sites such as Facebook and MySpace to deceive and prey on children are a "moral panic." Instead, a far more serious problem is that of child-on-child bullying, both online and offline, which no one is...

Symantec owned MessageLabs is warning that cases of advance fee 419 fraud, along with other financial scams, have spiked as we enter 2009. From December 22nd 2008, through into January 2009, the number of scams detected by MessageLabs more than doubled. The numbers show that this kind of fraud has increased from 4.2 percent to 10.2 percent during the period. That compares to just 3.1 percent during the same time last year. But that is just the start of it, according to MessageLabs which predicts that 419 scams will...

Apparently, lawyers representing McKinnon have told the British Crown Prosecution Service that he would be prepared to plead guilty to offences under the Computer Misuse Act if prosecuted in the UK. This rather than face trial for his crimes, where it is argued he would face lengthy prison time as a consequence of being something of a scapegoat for the authorities there. It has...

CEO http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3793.html According to reports the new Yahoo! CEO will be Carol Bartz, the 60 year old former Autodesk chairman. She will replace Jerry Yang, the Yahoo! co-founder who was pretty much forced into resignation late last year following his handling of the Microsoft takeover offer. Bartz has a good reputation in the industry, with nine years at Sun Microsystems during which time she ended up as the company number two after CEO Scott McNealy. Then came 14 years at Autodesk where she also rose to the top. Indeed, Bartz is one of the 50 most powerful women in business according to Fortune magazine.

Jeff Hunsaker, President and COO, stated that "The auction, we believe, is the best approach for us to move forward and also to exit bankruptcy." Ah, the agony of utter and complete defeat. What actually will SCO have left after selling off its Mobile Business and OpenServer Business? The better question in my mind is "Who the hell would want them?" Perhaps an even better question is "Do they really own either of them?" You can't legally sell what you don't own. It was proven...

Since many of the mistakes can leave sites vulnerable to to cyber crime, it's a good idea to peruse the list and make sure you don't have any security gaps in your systems. In fact, just two of the 25 errors account for more than 1.5 million security breaches last year. Some of the errors the group identified include: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release...

Apple Weathers the Storm http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3790.html A wild news day for tech stocks, with Sony posting its first quarterly loss in 14 years and rumors running rampant that Microsoft will start laying off employees after all. A week or so ago, Microsoft issued a statement saying that the company would avoid layoffs, and would instead focus on cutting back on contractors and not replacing employees who left the company. So much for that, apparently. But we’ll know for sure by January 22, the date of Microsoft’s next earnings call. Strangely, some Wall Street types say that layoffs would be lousy for impacted employees, but good business...
