| 4 Ways Tablets Help the Modern Sales Rep Posted: 21 Nov 2012 04:14 AM PST The effective use of mobile technology is increasingly becoming a driver of selling success. In competitive industries, sales reps need anytime-access to account information, collateral and other materials – the kind of access that can be achieved through tablet deployment. Many sales teams have been slow to fully embrace this technology, relying instead on the sales tools with which they are inherently most comfortable. But bulky catalogs and printed marketing materials can't deliver the speed or quality your company needs to compete in today's marketplace. Regardless of the size of the organization, sales teams need to either integrate technology into the sales process or r… More About: corporate sales, ipad, sales, salespeople, tablets

| Unlikely Tech Alliance Aids Recovery After Sandy Posted: 21 Nov 2012 01:59 AM PST Last weekend, more than ten days after superstorm Sandy, and after many days of darkness, most residents of Red Hook finally had power back. But power isn't everything anymore. In the immediate aftermath of Sandy, people across the city used Internet and social media to communicate with their loved ones and let them know they were OK or needed some help. The Internet is no longer a frivolous thing, it's a critical tool during and after natural disasters like Sandy. And in Red Hook, a neighborhood mostly comprised of low-income public housing residents, Internet is sometimes a luxury very few people can afford. It's in this low-lying neighborhood that an unlikely alliance was formed. A… More About: Hurricane Sandy, disaster relief, superstorm sandy

| Apple’s ‘Spaceship’ Campus Might Not Be Finished Until 2016 [REPORT] Posted: 21 Nov 2012 01:28 AM PST  Apple's updated plans for its cutting-edge Apple Campus 2 design show four levels of offices, sprawling landscape, a cafeteria, corporate auditorium and a fitness center. The design shape is still the same as it was initially proposed back in June, with a sleek, circular main building and glass surrounding the exterior. Click here to view this gallery.
Apple originally wanted to start building in 2013 and relocate in 2015; but based on the new timetable, it will more likely break ground on the site in 2014. Apple seems to be at fault for the delay, as the company said in August that it would file an updated proposal in September, but only did so in November. If local residents don't file any legal challenges, and if city council quickly approves the project, however, breaking ground in 2013 is still an option, according to David Brandt, Cupertin… More About: Campus, apple, spaceship

| White House Asks Facebook Users to Pick a Turkey to ‘Pardon’ for Thanksgiving Posted: 21 Nov 2012 12:56 AM PST Gobbler or Cobbler: Which turkey do you want pardoned? The White House is asking Facebook users to help decide the fate of two Thanksgiving birds. But fear not -- the duo won't be dinner. Rather, the winner with the most votes will be dubbed "National Thanksgiving Turkey," while the loser will be his alternate, according to a White House blog post. "No turkeys will be harmed during the selection of the National Thanksgiving Turkey," Erin Lindsay, deputy director of online engagement for the Office of Digital Strategy, wrote on Tuesday. "After the pardoning, both turkeys travel to George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens to reside in a custom-made enclosure at Mount Verno… More About: White House, barack obama, president obama

| Researchers Design Bio-Bot Able To Move On Its Own [VIDEO] Posted: 20 Nov 2012 08:45 PM PST Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a so-called "bio-bot," a 3D printed, 7-mm long biological machine. Made with hydrogel and rat heart cells, it can walk on its own. The project aims to imitate nature to create more efficient robots that have a variety of applications. "The idea is that, by being able to design with biological structures, we can harness the power of cells and nature to address challenges facing society," said Rashid Bashir, the project's lead researcher. "As engineers, we've always built things with hard materials, materials that are very predictable.

| iPad Hacker Trial Tests Pre-Internet Law Posted: 20 Nov 2012 05:12 PM PST Five weeks after the release of the original 3G-enabled iPad in April 2010, Apple and AT&T suffered a massive data breach, exposing the email addresses of hundreds of thousands of early adopters. The embarrassing breach was, in a way, one of AT&T's own making. When a 3G iPad visited AT&T's website, the iPad transmitted a unique ID number and generated a new URL for the AT&T site, which in turn called up the user information associated with that ID number from AT&T's databases. By the time the AT&T website loaded onto the iPad, the user would see his own email address, which he'd provided when he set up the iPad, already filled in on an AT&T webpage.

| Things to Be Thankful For, Technology Edition Posted: 20 Nov 2012 04:39 PM PST You know the scene. The family is gathered, the turkey is carved, the sweet potatoes are mere inches from your fork and have no idea of the fate that is about to befall them. Then someone pipes up: "I think we ought to go around the table and say what we're thankful for." What are you going to say? You're hipster enough that you would rather die than spout a cliche like "my health" or "my job" or "this food"; that's a given, surely -- of course we're all thankful for such things. But you're also enough of a geek that you fear saying what you're really thankful for; reeling off the specs of that awesome phone you just bought would be met with blank stares.

| Cybersecurity Guru Calls for More Online Regulation Posted: 20 Nov 2012 04:12 PM PST According to cybersecurity guru Eugene Kaspersky, the Internet needs more regulation. And it needs more and better regulation especially on the use of government-sponsored cyberweapons like Stuxnet and Flame. At an event in New York today, Kaspersky, the head of Russian antivirus giant Kaspersky Lab, said that the online world is a more dangerous place than ever. "There are different types of threats in the cyberspace," he said. "There are criminals, hacktivists and cyberweapons." According to Kaspersky, governments have gotten better at understanding and fighting cybercrime, but cyberweapons are still something they don't get.

| 10 Smart Tips for Buying an HDTV Posted: 20 Nov 2012 03:44 PM PST For all the incredible things our phones and tablets do, everybody wants to spend at least a little time kicking back on the couch in front of a big screen. Some of us want to spend a lot of time doing that. In either case, it's important to have an HDTV that delivers the experience you want -- whether that's 8 hours a day or 8 hours a year. On average, people buy a new TV every seven or eight years, so the set you buy will be something you're stuck with for a while. You don't want to buy an HDTV that ends up obsolete in just a few years. Or worse, something ugly. An HDTV is still a pretty large expense.

| Historic Mars Discovery: 14 Things It Could Totally Be Posted: 20 Nov 2012 03:27 PM PST The Curiosity rover has reportedly made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars. The problem is that we will have to wait a few weeks to find out what it is. Curiosity made the finding onboard its mobile chemistry lab, Sample Analysis at Mars Instrument (SAM for short). While NASA has so far been mum on the discovery, Curiosity Chief Scientist John Grotzinger told NPR that it will be "one for the history books." In fact, the data is so revolutionary that the team has to double-check to make sure that it is actually correct. Based on Curiosity's detailed reports, we do know what the rover has been up to since her August landing.

| This Scrappy Mammal Survived Dinosaur Extinction Posted: 20 Nov 2012 02:24 PM PST A scrappy family of mammals with unusual, mismatched features moved underground and, like living in a perpetual bomb shelter, managed to survive the mass extinction event 65 million years ago that wiped out the world's non-avian dinosaurs. We know this thanks to new research on the fossil mammal Necrolestes patagonensis, whose name translates to "grave robber," referring to its burrowing and underground lifestyle. The animal, described in the latest Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, had an upturned snout, a sturdy body structure, and short, wide legs.

| HP and Yahoo: A Tale of Two Iffy Comebacks Posted: 20 Nov 2012 02:08 PM PST Hewlett-Packard and Yahoo's paths seem to be cosmically intersecting. Very soon, Yahoo's market valuation may eclipse HP's as the two follow what in the short term looks like opposite trajectories. HP's stock is at its lowest level in a decade, while Yahoo's is the highest it's been in 18 months. The stakes are relatively low in this race. HP's current valuation -- about $23 billion -- is less than the amount Apple's market value increased by on Monday alone. Yet, HP is poised to supplant Yahoo as a wholesale provider of tech schadenfreude, a commodity with seemingly endless demand. The real competition is for the title of Silicon Valley's reigning basket case. In this arena, HP se… More About: Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo, marissa mayer, meg whitman

| Here’s How Nokia Creates Its Maps [VIDEO] Posted: 20 Nov 2012 01:28 PM PST
Nokia Here, the company's upgraded and re-branded location services, launched on iOS today. The launch follows the company's big unveiling of the service last week, which takes advantage of Nokia's 3D maps. After the event, Nokia was kind enough to show me how it creates its maps, taking me on a ride around San Francisco. To create Here maps, Nokia is using a fleet of Volkswagen Jettas -- 45 of them to be exact -- to capture 3D representations of roadways and the surrounding environment. The cars don't just take into account the buildings they drive by, they're also capable of mapping street signs and even elevation. That data can then be u… More About: Nokia, Nokia Here, maps
