Smartphones, Tablets, Enterprise Apps Among Top Tech in 2013

Apple, Google and others will battle it out for mobile device market share in 2013, one of Gartner's 10 predicted tech trends for 2013.


Quote

Big data, mobile device battles and the rise of the personal cloud were among the top 10 technologies and trends that will be strategic for most organizations in 2013, research firm Gartner announced  at the ITxpo in Orlando Oct. 23. Gartner Vice President David Cearley noted that while enterprises may not have to adopt and invest in all of the listed technologies, they should make deliberate decisions about how these trends fit in with the organization’s expected needs in the near future.

IT Must Deal With Real-Life Horror Shows


Quote

Slashers, ghosts and zombies ... Oh, my! With an onslaught of hackers, meddlesome internal users and malware-laden applications out there, IT departments may feel as if they’re dealing with a real-life horror show every day. So, with tongue-in-cheek, the folks at Bomgar speculated about which fright films would best represent the most common tech problems.

Sorry Bob I do understand what you're saying when Java is hard to patch a hole no matter what security companies are involved, when Adam Gowdiak decided to take matters into his own hands by developing a patch for a critical security vulnerability he had discovered in Java. Java starting to smell like a dead corpse see to many lying around in the compound which is not a great job patching up Java, Java will always be a critical security vulnerability.

Yes, I strongly recommend to uninstall Java, if not unconditionally needed.

IBM Researchers Making Carbon Nanotube Production a Reality


Carbon nanotubes, the next big thing when it comes to making faster computer chips, are beginning to leave the realm of fantasy and are starting to approach the possibility of commercial production, according to IBM researchers.


Quote

Carbon nanotubes are beginning to head out of the laboratory and into the edges of reality, according to a team of IBM researchers who have been hard at work creating carbon nanotubes that will be the basis for the next generation of computer chips.

The latest breakthrough as scientists continue to refine the handling and construction of the carbon nanotubes is that 10,000 of the tiny structures have been manipulated to fit and operate on a single chip using standard semiconductor processes, according to IBM. This is reportedly the first time that such an accomplishment has been possible.

Microsoft Sued Over Windows 8 Tiles

Microsoft's new Windows 8 tiling feature is being challenged in a patent-infringement lawsuit filed by a Maine-based company that doesn't sell any products or services.

Quote
The lawsuit, filed Oct. 30 by Portland, Maine-based SurfCast, alleges that Microsoft infringes on its U.S. Patent No. 6,724,403 dating back to the 1990s for the "tiling" concepts used in the new Windows 8 operating system that is now being used in PCs, Surface tablets, laptops and smartphones.

"We developed the concept of Tiles in the 1990s, which was ahead of its time," Ovid Santoro, CEO of SurfCast, said in a statement on the company's Website. "Microsoft’s Live Tiles are the centerpiece of Microsoft’s new Operating Systems and are covered by our patent."

Patent-infringement lawsuits, when filed by companies that don't sell their own products or services, typically are referred to as "patent troll" cases involving businesses set up to acquire patents that can later be pursued in legal cases against larger companies with deep pockets.

  IBM, Cleveland Clinic Put Watson to Work on Medical Training


Quote

IBM's Watson is headed to medical school. IBM and Cleveland Clinic are collaborating to use Watson's deep question-answer technology to help train students on how to come up with proper diagnoses and treatments for patients.

Founded in 1921, Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit academic medical center that integrates research and education.

Watson's ability to understand natural language and generate hypotheses will help medical professionals make clinical decisions, IBM reported.

IBM researchers and Cleveland clinicians, faculty and medical students will work together to apply Watson's deep question-answer technology to medicine.
