At a conference of CIOs that I attended this morning in Lisbon, all of our group were reflective and emotionally affected by the news of Jobs’ death – many heartfelt words were spoken from the stage, as they have been on stages, social networks, phone calls, and conversations all over the world today. And as we all mourned, many of us were literally holding Steve in our hands as we communicated via iPads, iPhones, Keynote, and Macs. Steve leaves a vast and extraordinary legacy and I will let the more eloquent pay tribute. But I will make a prediction and I will express a hope. I believe that we will look back at the 2002-2011 period as a golden age of technology – driven by Jobs at his most visionary.

The Chevrolet Sonic’s short life has been one wild ride – how many other cars have gone bungee jumping, sky diving and kick flipping in their first year of release? Soon, stick-shy drivers who prefer earthbound excitement can now find it in the automatic turbocharged Sonic. Once used mostly to enhance performance, today turbocharging is as much about fuel economy. Powered by a car’s own exhaust gasses, a turbocharger pressurizes the air passing into the engine, thereby increasing torque and providing a “boost” when accelerating. Posted by the FastLane Team

People living in London and its surrounding areas on Wednesday joined those in other parts of the country who have gone through digital switchover . One of the effects of this is that they will no longer have access to Ceefax, which is broadcast via the analogue signal. Although we won't be saying our proper goodbyes to Ceefax until later in the year when switchover is complete across the country (viewers in Northern Ireland, for instance, will still be able to see it until October), I wanted to send a note of reassurance and a reminder: our digital text service, available via the red button to people who use cable, satellite or Freeview, provides national, local and international news, plus sport, weather and much else besides.

Dell is looking for partners to help young people discover new possibilities. Why? Because we know that in a connected economy, when students have access to the right technologies and tools, they are able to master the skills they need for success in school, work – and in life tomorrow. As the strategic giving manager, I have seen first-hand how energized the youth become with our technology and a great example is from one of the poorest neighborhoods in Austin. For the children in Dove Springs Austin’s lowest income area, they have very few outlets where they can be exposed to the latest technology. They have even fewer opportunities to learn information and communications technology ...I recently read Howard Schultz’ book “Onward” about the fantastic turnaround he made as the new CEO of Starbucks. As you may know, he semi-retired, but when the company got into trouble he returned as CEO and made a remarkable turnaround. It seems that Starbucks had expanded too fast. It was having quality problems and was losing customers.

This post kicks off a new series, “From the Help Desk,” where we explore some of the questions seen in the support queue. One of the most common issues we see day-to-day has to do with images. Specifically, “What size should my image be?”
eBay Inc. today reported that revenue for Q1FY12, increased 29% to $3.3 billion, compared to the same period of 2011. We recorded Q1 net income on a GAAP basis of $570 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $725 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. The year-over-year increase in first quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share was driven primarily by strong top-line growth partially offset by increased investment in the shopping experience and the impact of acquisitions. “The first quarter was a strong start to the year for us with momentum continuing in our Marketplaces, PayPal and GSI Commerce businesses,” said eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe. “We believe that innovation in retail today is technology driven, and consumers are embracing smarter, easier, better ways to shop.

CS for Kids, Pwn in a Box, Mobile Companions, and 8-bit Linux Why Our Kids Should Be Taught To Code (Guardian) -- if we don't act now we will be short-changing our children. [...] their world will be also shaped and configured by networked computing and if they don't have a deeper understanding of this stuff then they will effectively be intellectually crippled. They will grow up as passive consumers of closed devices and services, leading lives that are increasingly circumscribed by technologies created by elites working for huge corporations such as Google, Facebook and the like. We will, in effect, be breeding generations of hamsters for the glittering wheels of cages built by Mark Zuckerberg and his kind. (via Karl von Randow ) The Pwn Plug -- $770 gets you a wall-wart full of network attack tools and wifi for remote access.
