Apple dumps big cat OS X nicknames, zips lips on price and release timetable

Apple on Monday trumpeted OS X 10.9, or Mavericks, but made a U-turn from past practice and declined to name a price for the upgrade or tap a ship date as anything more specific than the fall. The departure from tradition lends credence to reports a month ago that Apple had pushed back the release of OS X 10.9 because it shuffled engineers from that project to reinforce the iOS team. The last time Apple shipped an OS X upgrade in a month other than July or August was in 2007, when it delayed OS X Leopard for similar reasons in the run-up to the first iOS, called iPhone OS at the time. Also non-traditional was the name Apple picked for OS X 10.9. While the nine previous editions were tagged with feline nicknames -- from Cheetah and Puma through Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion -- the company believed the trend had run its course. Or the remaining cats were too small a pool to continue the pattern, said Craig Federighi, head of OS X and iOS development, during Monday's keynote at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). "We do not want to be the first software in history to be delayed due to a dwindling supply of cats," Federighi joked before revealing that Apple had shifted to a naming convention honoring California, "in the place where OS X is designed and built." OS X Mavericks, or more prosaically 10.9, was named after a big-wave surfing spot on the California coast about 35 miles northwest of Apple's Cupertino headquarters. Federighi showed off only a handful of the more than 200 new features Apple claimed it had added to Mavericks, including Finder tabs -- for collecting several file manager windows into one view -- file tagging and improved support for multiple monitors. That last feature will be welcomed by power users, for Mavericks will put a menu bar on every screen and the Dock on the screen currently in use, tasks that now require third-party programs. "Tagging files is about 30 years overdue," said Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, in a Tuesday interview, about the feature that will let users label files with keywords for more efficient document organization and faster search. "Good for Apple that they're trying to make a traditional personal computer easier to live with. Maybe it will stimulate others to [add file tagging], and not just Microsoft, but the online storage services, too." Mavericks will include OS X versions of the iOS Maps and iBooks apps -- continuing Apple's practice of seeding Macs with software that originated on the iPad or iPhone -- as well as a new password maker and manager, iCloud Keychain. As the latter's name suggests, it's stored in iCloud, Apple's free online storage and synchronization service, and from first glance it could threaten the livelihood of top-tier third-party programs like 1Password and LastPass. And like the new iOS 7, Mavericks will automatically update programs in the background that were purchased in the Mac App Store. But the main push of OS X Mavericks, at least based on Federighi's presentation, was aimed at the No. 1 complaint of notebook owners: too-short battery life.бриджи для похудения неопреновые отзывы как отбеливать зубы подсолнечным маслом ягоды годжи купить в аптеке ростове на дону средство от бородавок с азотом жидкий каштан оригинал фото тибетские ягоды годжи купить в краснодаре коктейль для похудения имбирь лимон огурец титан гель купить цена il reishi o ganoderma lucidum капли идеал для похудения отзывы бад шрот расторопши биокор коктейль для похудения аптека копейка капли для похудения hcg отзывы о диете препараты для улучшения памяти у пожилых людей жидкий каштан 990 new пленка сауна купить спб средство для отбеливания зубов в домашних условиях магнитный корректор осанки мнение врачей как увеличить ягодицы упражнения видео средство от целлюлита форум ягоды годжи для похудения описание полезные свойства отзывы как отбелить зубы и убрать налет жидкий каштан отрицательные отзывы покупателей как лечить бородавки на вымени у коров жидкий каштан купить в тольятти как отбелить зубы за 20 минут отзывы о шоколад слим официальный ягоды годжи купить в аптеке оренбург как принимать гриб ганодерма для похудения как лечить вирусные бородавки на стопе средство от тошноты после алкоголя в домашних условиях мака перуанская порошок отзывы табекс 100 таблеток цена жидкий каштан night купить браслет бяньши для похудения отзывы спрей для похудения купить в израиле как подтянуть ягодицы за две недели коктейль для похудения белково ванильный протеиновый коктейль для похудения форум красная нить из израиля что это как лечить папилломы под языком капли для похудения оне тво слим лида как отбелить зубы народными средствами за 2 дня ягоды годжи купить в нижнем новгороде в аптеке удаление подошвенных бородавок жидким азотом ягоды годжи и малышева народные средства против вируса папилломы средство от бородавки на пятке ягоды годжи из тайланда отзывы жидкий каштан инструкция по применению народные средства от бородавок на руках жидкий каштан россия цена табекс купить в томске ganoderma lucidum 6 en 1 ягоды годжи где купить казань крем от целлюлита с эфирными маслами

AT&T to disclose government requests for user data

AT&T has joined Verizon Communications in promising to report on government requests for information about its customers, setting the stage for semiannual disclosures from both the dominant U.S. wireline carriers starting early next year. The company's announcement came just a day after Verizon had promised similar reports, a fact AT&T acknowledged. Earlier this month, AT&T had asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to support its removing a shareholder proposal about such disclosures from its annual proxy statement. In a statement, AT&T said it would report the total number of requests from law enforcement agencies in criminal cases; information about subpoenas, court orders and warrants; the number of AT&T customers affected; and details about legal demands that the carrier receives. The first such report will cover 2013 and will come out early next year, the company said in the statement, which was attributed to Senior Vice President and General Counsel Wayne Watts. AT&T said when governments ask for subscriber data, it works to ensure that each request is legal, and it sought to reassure consumers it doesn't feed information directly to authorities. "We do not allow any government agency to connect directly to our network to gather, review or retrieve our customers' information," Watts said. In addition, AT&T only provides wireless customer location data except in response to court orders and in emergencies such as missing-child cases, he said.w3dmmglb dd8 d3dx9 43.dll minitab 16 full version crack plant vs zombie jar touch quickcam e1000 drivers ham on rye bukowski epub gericom bellagio 1440 drivers yahoo password hacking software free full version flatout 3 chaos and destruction pcdvd+crack multi8 castellano 2012 usb disk security con serial gratis docuprint c525a driver windows 7

The 2013 Computerworld Premier 100 IT Leaders: On the fast track

Editor's note: Each year, Computerworld's Premier 100 IT Leaders awards program honors the best and brightest IT executives. This year's class of 100 men and women are no different, moving their businesses forward with potent technology and ROI-rich projects. Explore the full package by viewing the listing of this year's honorees, along with their photos, predictions, cool projects and more. This year's class joins a fellowship of hundreds of Premier 100 alumni, each of whom has demonstrated exemplary leadership qualities throughout their careers. To revitalize your own IT career, check out the best management advice from Computerworld's editors and learn more about the 14th annual Premier 100 IT Leaders Conference, which draws together these IT leaders, alumni and other top IT executives to network and exchange ideas. It started as a research project to explore how Steelcase's customers might benefit from products with built-in collaboration technologies. What emerged is Media:Scape, a line of high-tech multimedia office equipment that is now on the sales fast track at the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based office furniture manufacturer. Steelcase's IT department was front and center in the innovation effort, developing, building and managing the first prototypes of the products, which feature high-definition videoconferencing capabilities. "You have to show the business the possibilities," says Steelcase CIO Bob Krestakos, who with another colleague holds the patent for the HD video technology. "One of the big insights IT was able to bring [to product development] is the power of video in sharing data and collaboration." Show -- don't tell -- the business how to capture a competitive lead: That's the mantra of today's IT leaders, who increasingly are making their mark by devising new products and services that generate revenue and set their companies apart from the competition. Rather than simply proselytizing about innovation, the 2013 class of Computerworld Premier 100 IT Leaders and their teams are bringing to life what IBM CIO Jeanette Horan calls "the art of what's possible with IT." At $8 billion W.W. Grainger, CIO Tim Ferrarell's team is the driving force behind cost-cutting inventory management processes and services that the Lake Forest, Ill., industrial supply giant first used internally and is now selling to customers as an application. Over the years, Grainger's catalog, which contains more than 900,000 products, has grown to the point that it is no longer easily portable, Ferrarell explains. Now, thanks to inventory management services provided at customer locations and via mobile technology, Grainger can insert itself directly into a customer's purchasing process. "These technologies are fundamentally changing how we serve customers and how we do our work," Ferrarell says. "We are the first in our industry to offer mobile apps to customers and are rapidly expanding mobile capabilities into new features designed to save customers time and money and to ensure Grainger's offer is accessible real-time and closest to the point of need." The upshot: Over the past year, mobile traffic to Grainger's site has increased 400%. At Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels, IT is "the real thought leader" in developing new services that differentiate the hotel chain in what John Prusnick, director of IT innovation and strategy, calls "the sea of sameness" permeating the hospitality industry. One recent innovation: an airport-based check-in service that lets guests bypass the front desk and go directly to their rooms on arrival. The iOS application, which was designed and built by IT, can scan credit cards and encode room keycards at the airport shuttle center. "Guests became quickly enamored with the experience. They felt like they received VIP treatment," says Prusnick.screencast o matic for chromebook linksys lne100tx v5 1 driver skype per lg t310i sunage battle for elysium remastered skype app blackberry z10 hp laserjet 1320 pcl5 driver windows 7 64 bit lexmark t420 driver for win7 uc browser for samsung corby plus gt b3410 bluesoleil crack windows 7 freedom fighters 2 soldiers of liberty pc

Google may go from Google Glass to Google Robot

Google, the worldwide leader in online search, is also the company behind the dominant Android mobile platform, Google Glass wearable technology and the Google Maps app. Are Google Robots the next move? That's right. Google today confirmed to Computerworld that it's been buying up robotics companies for the past six months as part of an effort to develop its own robotics technology. As first reported today in the New York Times, Google is developing robotic technology for use by its manufacturing operation, which conducts electronics assembly among other things. Google officials told the newspaper that the robotics effort will be led by Andy Rubin, the man behind the creation and worldwide adoption of Google's wildly successful Android software. Patrick Moorhead, an analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, says it's not surprising that a company like Google would seek to venture far afield from its core technology, in this case Internet search tools. The company has already moved into several new businesses, including browsers, Chromebook computers, mapping software, autonomous cars and computerized eyeglasses. "I expected Google to ultimately get into robots, as it's not too far from an autonomous vehicle, only more flexible in its use cases," said Moorhead. The technology used to make "a very good robot would be similar to that in a super-sophisticated autonomous vehicle." While he adds that Google risks losing focus by continuing to go far afield from the core search business, the company can easily use some of its existing technology in the new products. "Technologies behind search and targeted advertising can play a part in robotics," said Moorhead. "Object recognition can be used by a robot and for visual search. Google Now uses predictive analytics to determine what you want to see and when you want to see it, and can also be used by robots to become more autonomous." Nonetheless, Google must walk a fine line between taking risks and getting lost in the weeds.temple run in corby 2 free cooking academy 2 full game free online hotspotshieldlaunch17 dragonvale free gems hack online java jdk for windows xp 32 bit adobe photoshop cs6 crack picasa mobile android apk enlga-1320 driver windows 8 puffin web browser apk full audio c3dx cm18738 device driver pci

Researchers create graphite memory only 10 atoms thick

Researchers at Rice University have demonstrated a new data storage medium made out of a layer of graphite only 10 atoms thick. The technology could potentially provide many times the capacity of current flash memory and withstand temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius and radiation that would make solid-state disk memory disintegrate. The team, lead by professor James Tour, included postdoctoral researchers Yubao Li and Alexander Sinitskii. In an interview, Tour said laboratory tests started a year and a half ago but his team only recently published a paper on the results. Laboratory tests showed that they were able to grow graphene, which technically is 10 or fewer layers of graphite, atop silicon and use it to store a bit of data. The sheets were roughly 5 nanometers in diameter. Graphene is a form of carbon. "Though we grow it from the vapor phase, this material is just like graphite in a pencil. You slide these right off the end of your pencil onto paper. If you were to place Scotch tape over it and pull up, you can sometimes pull up as small as one sheet of graphene. It is a little under 1 nanometer thick," Tour said. The new solid-state memory is one of many next-generation technologies that could someday replace NAND flash memory at the 20 nanometer (nm) node size. Others include race track memory and phase-change memory. Currently, NAND flash memory can be as small as 45nm in size, but projections show the technology will reach its limit of 20nm by around 2012. By using graphene, Tour said, bits could be made smaller than 10nm in size. Unlike NAND flash memory, which is controlled by three terminals or wires, the graphene memory requires two terminals, making it more viable for three-dimensional or stacked graphene arrays -- multiplying a chip's capacity with every layer, according to Tour. But like flash memory, chips made with graphene will consume virtually no power while keeping data intact. Tour also said graphene generates little heat, making it more suitable to three-dimensional or stacked memory. Graphene also distinguishes itself from future storage mediums through its "on-off ratio" or the amount of electricity a circuit holds when it's on compared with when it's off. "It's huge -- a million to one," Tour said. "Phase change memory, the other thing the industry is considering, runs at 10-to-1. That means the 'off' state holds, say, one-tenth the amount of electrical current than the 'on' state.special enquiry detail full crack apk blast thru game full version wechat terbaru untuk s60v3 angry birds kindle fire walkthrough edimax rt6x wireless lan card driver gateway 450rgh ethernet controller driver pingchat for android tablet do adobe flash player gratis Brazilian heroes of might and magic 4 the gathering storm

Cutting the cable: Wireless charging becomes a reality

Imagine sitting down at work, plopping a mobile device on the desk and having it wirelessly charge itself while, at the same time, synchronizing new data to your PC. In that world, one could also wirelessly charge a phone set on a car's dashboard or armrest while it plays music through the speakers, and never have to search for the one open electrical outlet at the coffee shop or airport. That world may not be too far off for the masses of smartphone, tablet and other mobile device users. With the launch of the Windows Phone 8-based Lumia 920 smartphone last week, embedded wireless charging is hitting the U.S. mainstream. The built-in wireless charging capabilities offered in the Nokia 920 doesn't require that widgets be plugged into the USB port of a smartphone in order to charge it from a magnetic induction power pad. That's the typical wireless charging process today. The Lumia 920 only has to be laid on a power pad to be charged. Charging Pads William Stofega, an IDC mobile device analyst, said wireless charging pad business is currently dominated by Duracell's Powermat technology, which is based on magnetic induction technology, one of two forms of wireless charging. Duracell's Powermat wireless phone charger But that choice is likely to change soon, thanks in part to the Wireless Power Consortium's Qi (pronounced "chee") open wireless charging standard, Stofega said. Already, some products from 120 companies are certified as compliant with the Qi standard. The certified products run the gamut, from the LG Optimus LTE2 and Panasonic Eluga smartphones, to charging pads, gaming controllers, Blu-ray Disc recorders, smartphone docking speakers, automobile phone chargers, alarm clocks, battery packs and charging modules that can be installed in tabletops and furniture. Magnetic induction vs. resonance charging Analysts note, though, that there are some slight differences in the Qi-compliant wireless charging products being developed today.oracle java jdk 7 mac winrar macbook air iconpackager 5 1 full version quake usb adsl modem driver indir google earth for mac os x 10.5.8 free f talk setup winzip for win7 32 bit billiards go locker theme mobile9 style me girl para pc simlab skp md2 exporter for maya dozen games apartment escape 3 walkthrough

Google's Andy Rubin steps aside as Android gets new leader

Android head Andy Rubin is stepping aside, and that could mean big changes for Google's mobile platform and for its Chrome operating system. Google CEO Larry Page announced the move in a blog post on Wednesday, saying Rubin will remain with the company but will take on a new role. Rubin, who is Google's senior vice president for mobile and digital content, joined Google in 2005, when the search giant acquired Android, then a startup company that Rubin had co-founded. Sundar Pichai Andy Rubin "The pace of innovation has never been greater, and Android is the most used mobile operating system in the world," Page wrote. "Having exceeded even the crazy ambitious goals we dreamed of for Android, and with a really strong leadership team in place, Andy's decided it's time to hand over the reins and start a new chapter at Google." Page said Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president of Chrome and Apps, will take Rubin's place and will lead both the Chrome and Android divisions. "Sundar has a talent for creating products that are technically excellent yet easy to use -- and he loves a big bet," wrote Page. "So while Andy's a really hard act to follow, I know Sundar will do a tremendous job doubling down on Android as we work to push the ecosystem forward." Related: JR Raphael: What will Andy Rubin's departure mean for Android? Industry analysts said they were surprised by the news, and some wonder whether Rubin decided himself to move on or if he was asked to step aside. Regardless of why he's leaving, this is a big shift for Android. Rubin brought Android to prominence on the global mobile stage, creating a two-horse race with Apple's iOS. With more than 60 partners, Android has become the most popular smartphone operating system in the U.S. "[Rubin has been] working his tail off on Android, and he's made it extremely successful," said Jack Gold, an analyst at J.Gold Associates. "I don't think anyone can say he hasn't been pretty damn successful.... They have become a major mobile leader. Could he have done it faster, better, smoother? Sure... but I haven't seen any huge mistakes." Gold said he doubted Rubin was pushed out. He speculated that Rubin probably wants to try his hand at something new. "Every so often these guys have to take a breath and say, 'I've done a really good job, but where do I go from here?'" Gold said. "He's got a lot of creative juices. He may want to go do some new things and start something else. They said he'll stay at Google. I'd be surprised if he left. He's got a lot of freedom and opportunities there."hijab woman photo montage for ipod light rock music radio for android slices for twitter for ipod alchemy android game for pc halo waypoint for android free face in hole free for iphone5 rat on a snowboard for iphone women jumpers dress suit for ipad old telephone ringtones for ipad hong kong drama for android
