Picture this rosy scenario for your high-tech future: You awaken because
your curtains open automatically, your coffee maker starts brewing and your bed
administers a subtle hint in the form of a back massage. Your closet, having
scanned your calendar, coughs up a freshly cleaned suit for the big meeting
today. You head for the kitchen while reading the day’s news as a translucent
holographic display. Thanks to motion detection, it stays right in front of you
as you walk.
And when you stub your toe — because you will, pal, if you wander around
scanning eye-level holograms — you can use a diagnostics app on your mobile
device to see whether it’s broken. Speaking of your feet, you will have a
smartshoe that pinches you to keep you from lingering over breakfast and being
late for your meeting. Neither human error nor human nature will interfere with
your gratingly perfect morning.
If this is the happiest news delivered by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen in
“The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business,”
imagine what the bad news is like. Actually, you don’t have to: the authors have
come up with memorably batty examples. They say that the future will be a tough
time to be a Malawian witch doctor because when everyone in the world has access
to digital information, the witch doctors’ authority will be contradicted. It
will also be hard to be a warlord in eastern Congo if warlords are touchy about
negative publicity.
Maybe they are. “The New Digital Age” is much more prescient and
provocative than it is silly. Its thinking got a little less futuristic when
last week’s Boston Marathon bombings turned crowdsourcing and cameras into
high-speed methods of needle-in-a-haystack detection.
The collaboration between Mr. Schmidt, the executive chairman (and former
chief executive) of Google, and Mr. Cohen, a foreign-relations expert and
director of Google Ideas, is meant to explore the ways in which technology and
diplomacy will intersect. “There is a canyon dividing people who understand
technology and people charged with addressing the world’s toughest geopolitical
issues, and no one has built a bridge,” they write.
The most frightening and important sections deal with the futures of war
and terrorism, and it is here that the authors sound most assured. Until now,
they point out, it has been relatively easy to use scare tactics and Web
charisma to mobilize acolytes. But a new accountability is coming, and a wired,
well-informed public will be able to tell the difference between stardom and
wisdom. “The consequence of having more citizens informed and connected is that
they’ll be as critical and discerning about rebels as they are about the
government,” the authors write.
This book articulates why any leaders, whether legitimate, revolutionary,
self-styled or tyrannical, will need much more elaborate planning skills than
they ever had before. “States will long for the days when they only had to think
about foreign and domestic policies in the physical world,” it grimly says.
Future political visionaries will have to devise policies for both the real and
virtual worlds, and those policies will not necessarily be consistent with each
other. There is already much evidence for the authors’ claim that cyberwarfare
and drone strikes are apt to overshadow traditional combat — although technology
may yield military uniforms that can generate sounds, camouflage themselves and
even self-destruct rather than wind up in enemy hands.
Despite dry, dense prose and occasional weird misfires (will it be joyous
or heartbreaking to watch holographic home movies, to have the dead visit your
living room?), “The New Digital Age” throws off many worthwhile
provocations.
Some are pop-cultural: It’s no longer true, the authors argue, that
everyone will be famous for 15 minutes (per Andy Warhol). Thanks to the
unforgiving nature of the Internet, everyone will be famous forever. “It’s only
a question,” they say, “of how many people are paying attention, and why.”
Some are global: Making frequent swipes at China (the authors agree with
certain experts “that China’s future will not be bright”), this book handicaps
the prospects of both rebellion and suppression as if the fate of the world
might depend on these things — because it might.
Any reader of “The New Digital Age” is sure to have a favorite point of
contention. Like the book’s view of politics: The authors predict that we can
expect many more Herman “Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan” Cains in the future,
candidates with big personalities who become momentarily popular but cannot
withstand tough scrutiny.
Then they advise political consultants to map the brain functions of
candidates for a scientific assessment of how well they handle stress and
temptation. When a politician makes it past that kind of screening, we will have
truly reached the robotic age.

Eskom strike the headlines this 7 days when it admitted
Africa's greatest energy organization Eskom has began its migration to
Windows 7 and eight from Home windows XP.
The corporation is likewise incorporating all-around yet another 20 SAP business software package modules on the first implementation of an SAP update it accomplished in October 2011.
Eskom delivers ninety five p.c of South Africa's ability and forty percent of Africa's total electrical power consumed. The state-owned enterprise has 27 most important energy producing locations providing coal, gas, hydro, nuclear and wind energy.
The previous SAP enhance noticed Eskom consolidate from four various SAP techniques covering different places of its small business to the single occasion, to make a "single variation of your truth", in addition as save a lot of Rand from only signing only one SAP application agreement.
At the time the company also moved far from customised SAP apps and chose instead to deploy "vanilla" deployments to "remove complexity" from its operations. It was discovered by Eskom that customised SAP apps created details silos and designed it more difficult to enhance programs.
Eskom is now having that a action even more by including an additional 20 modules to go over organization areas like cell performing, e-recruitment, estates administration and others, to further aid 34,000 SAP close customers in the organization.
Sal Laher, CIO of Eskom, said, "We are also preparing to get a 3rd stage in
our SAP deployment sooner or later, which is able to aid us introduce new good
metering schemes, which can be exactly where the market needs to head."
Eskom strike the headlines this 7 days when it admitted it would be to the brink of blackouts this coming winter subsequently of servicing and ensuing downtime at a few of its building vegetation.
Smart metering along with the goal of lowering ability utilization could enable alleviate foreseeable future troubles.
On the benefits of the Home windows 7 and eight upgrades, covering the desktops, laptops along with other cell devices of fifty four,000 people, Laher claimed, "Migrating to Windows seven will give us better integration with other programs, improve mobility, and maximize security.

Justin Bieber hopes Anne Frank 'would have been a belieber'
If Anne Frank had not died a teenager in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945,
Justin Bieber hopes she would have been his devoted fan.
That's what Bieber, 19, wrote in the guestbook at the Anne Frank House when he visited there Friday, according to the Amsterdam site.
"Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber," Bieber wrote. The tourist site posted the message on its Facebook page.
Adolescent and teen girls obsessed with the Canadian singer are known as "beliebers."
Bieber, who is in the middle of a European tour, stopped by the Anne Frank House between his concert in Antwerp, Belgium, and a Saturday performance in Arnhem, Netherlands. He told fans on Twitter it was a "chill day."
Bieber visited the house "together with his friends and guards" Friday night, according to the site's official Facebook page. The Anne Frank House confirmed to CNN that its Facebook post carrying Bieber's message was authentic.
"Fans were waiting outside to see a glimpse of him. He stayed more than an hour in the museum," the Facebook page said.
Frank was 13 when she and her family began hiding in a dark and damp "secret annex" of the house to escape the German roundup of Jews in Holland in July 1942. She never left the house for two years, spending much of her time writing in her diary, until she and her family were found and arrested by Nazis in August 1944.
Swiss man reintroduces his cousin: Anne Frank's letters
Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945. Her diary survived to tell her tragic and inspiring story.
Bieber's representatives did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment Sunday, but visitors to the Anne Frank Facebook page had plenty to say.
A sample of reactions:
"Glad he went, but, the last sentence is VERY self serving. he missed the lessons of Anne totally."
"She would've been a WHAT? That little idiot is way too full of himself. She's an important historical figure so show some respect."
"Way to turn an inspiring moment into something about yourself."
"lets hope she would have never been a belieber"
"Here I thought it was nice of him to go and see the history of her until I read what he wrote. Have some respect Mr. Bieber for she will be famous long after your fame fizzles."
"'Despite everything, i believe people are really good at heart' - Anne Frank I think before everyone goes bashing Justin Bieber we should take a moment to think about these words and why Anne said them."

Nevertheless for people who will not know
I would not deny it, items are undesirable in Computer land at the moment.
The IDC is reporting the biggest fall in Laptop shipments because the company
started monitoring these things in 1994: a 13.9% drop 12 months above year and
much steeper slides for unique manufacturers. The first quarter of 2013 can be a
stinker for PCs. It is the reality. What might not be, although, is everyone’s
insistence on pinning this on Windows 8.
“At this place, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Home windows eight start not merely unsuccessful to offer a optimistic improve towards the Computer market, but appears to obtain slowed the marketplace," reported the IDC’s Bob O'Donnell within the scathing report.
That quotation led to quite a great deal everybody stating that Home windows eight is killing PCs profits. In truth, headlines such as this “Windows eight Killing Laptop Sales” and “Research agency IDC: Computer revenue plunge as Windows 8 flops” had been not unheard of.
IDC did not lay many of the blame on Windows eight. It pointed out a decline in netbook sales (keep in mind those?), Dell and HP’s difficulties, a lack of new marketplaces in the US, whitebox program consolidation and public-sector shopping for constraints in China.
There genuinely was hardly just one bit of fine news while in the report. Apple endured much less than other makers, but still observed a Computer shipment decline (typically, IDC stated, as a consequence of the expansion in iPad gross sales).
Definitely? A released stopped people today from acquiring new PCs? While numerous buyers and companies can nonetheless choose to purchase Windows seven units (and/or the Home windows 7 program), all of them pulled up small mainly because they had been afraid of the really distinctive Home windows eight?
Home windows 8 differs. The Home windows Design (previously Metro) interface is often a mystery to some. There’s no “Start” button and it is is actually made for a touch practical experience, although it really works just fantastic which has a mouse.
To start with, I do like Windows eight and utilize it each and every day. It runs all Windows seven software and provides me an incredibly traditional Home windows encounter if I need it. The “Desktop” remains to be there, soon after all. Furthermore, if you get a instant to have a look at Windows eight, you immediately realize that the Begin Menu is now larger than ever: It is the Windows Design/Metro Interface.
Almost every single Home windows update has, at the least to begin with, been considered a failure. Some, like Vista, and Windows ME, have been. But even the successes like Windows 95, ninety eight and Windows 7 had been originally judged improperly - till they grew to become ubiquitous. I’m not arguing that Home windows eight will inevitably do the same. It’s also early to know of course.
Nevertheless for people who will not know, listed here the way it operates: Microsoft launches a whole new OS and nerds and lover boys line approximately get their hands on it. Every person else steers clear, at least for a while. Consumers very a great deal settle for no matter what OS arrives on their own new Computer system and they are not jumping to obtain new PCs (a lot more on that afterwards). Organizations normally glance sideways at any OS update. They have little interest in expending far more money on new personal computers if the outdated kinds they've appear to be doing work just great. Even if they do purchase new PCs, they’ll have their IT set up regardless of what is conventional inside their place of work. This is the reason so many firms remain operating Windows XP. It might acquire a long time for them to totally up grade.

Microsoft to add dual-factor sign-on security 'soon': report
Microsoft will toughen up its products' security by adding dual-factor authentication "soon," according to a report today by Liveside.net.
Judging by details in the blog, the approach closely mirrors what Google did years ago: authorization requiring both a password (the first factor) and a special six-digit code retrieved from an authenticator app on a person's smartphone (the second factor). The smartphone code changes frequently so it can't be used for long.
We've contacted Microsoft for comment and will update this post when they respond. However, there's a strong indicator that there's truth to the report: the availability of an Authenticator app from Microsoft for Windows Phone 7.5 and 8, published last Friday with a version 1.0.0.0 release.
One commenter said the app "also works with Google's 2-step authentication," an indication that there could be a two-way street between Google and Microsoft systems. That could be very handy since Google offers its Authenticator app for Android, iOS, and BlackBerry and many people who might want to use Microsoft services will have those types of phones.
In 2012, Microsoft acquired PhoneFactor, a provider of multi-factor authentication technology that uses phones.
Dual-factor authentication makes it harder for people to get access to your account, since those trying to get access to your account need both your password and your smartphone. Even if they get access to both, they'd also need to get past your smartphone lock screen -- you do use a password or other security mechanism, right?
However, dual-factor brings a significant hassle, too.
• You must authorize your phone in advance using a pairing process.
• Software and services that tap into your account -- likely including some e-mail programs, for example -- must be reworked to handle dual-factor authentication. And until they are, you must use what Microsoft apparently will call "app passwords," and which Google calls application-specific passwords.
• You have to have your phone with you to log in to devices and services, which can be an annoyance if it's upstairs charging and you're downstairs working, or if you left your phone at home by mistake. It appears likely from the Liveside report that you'll be able to skip dual-factor authentication for frequently-accessed systems once you log in with the system once, though. And Google, at least, lets you print a set of authentication codes that you can use in an emergency instead of the dual-factor authentication.
A hassle it may be, but identity theft is a lot worse, especially in cases where hackers obtain account details for tens of thousands of account holders at a time. So it's no surprise that dual-factor authentication is gradually spreading around the industry.
Facebook, Yahoo, PayPal, and Dropbox already offer dual-factor authentication, with Dropbox customers able to use Google Authenticator. Twitter posted a job listing indicating it's interested, too.
It might cease you from downloading suspicious
After you purchase a new notebook or personal computer method that has a new functioning program, its overall performance would little question be outstanding. However, as time goes by, you can recognize the program is slowly but surely deteriorating. The very first matter that allows you to definitely detect this is often its lowered velocity.

Facebook didn’t let any one sign into devices
For any organization that has struggled with mobile for many years,
Facebook Dwelling is Facebook getting the mobile encounter ideal. Inside the
brief hands-on time I had at the event, it was clear this can be just the very
first important step forward inside the company’s mobile obsession. It is
sophisticated and contemporary - just what Facebook needs on modest smartphone
screens.
As soon as you have got Facebook Residence in your Android telephone, your lock screen turns into a very quite Cover Feed - Facebook’s new term for its stream of photographs and status updates that take up the complete screen. Without even unlocking your telephone, you see the newest updates out of your mates inside a slow pace that allows you to essentially read and follow. Unlocking the phone and going right to your Facebook Residence screen is as speedy and quick as swiping towards the left for a new photo or status update, or swiping your profile photo at the bottom on the screen.
Facebook didn’t let any one sign into devices with their own accounts, so our only practical experience was having a demo device that, presumably, held an employee’s account.
The phone’s lock screen also displayed the user’s most current notifications - for example, a new like or message. Just swipe to the ideal on a notification and you’ve removed it. That is just 1 of several quick gestures Facebook has included, creating it less difficult than ever to interact with posts. “Like” and “comment” buttons are appropriate there within the bottom left corner, but you are able to just as quickly double-tap to like a post. Tap and hold a photo in Cover Feed and it'll zoom out so you may see the full image. Let go and also the photo zooms back in and requires up the screen. Swiping left and ideal for distinct updates is rapid and smooth.
You'll be able to access all your apps by tapping the center household button or, when the phone is locked, by swiping your Facebook profile photo up toward the Apps alternative. From there, you also get the speedy Status Update, Photo and Check-In buttons above your pages of apps.
Facebook Household isn’t thoroughly polished pretty but. It could use a lot of other characteristics - posting content material directly from the household screen, rather than having to go into the app drawer comes to thoughts - and finesse. There's no customization for Cover Feed, so if you wish to scroll vertically through a more common News Feed (just like the one you see the present Facebook mobile app) you must visit your app drawer and open the principle Facebook app. And once you tap on a friend’s face within a post, you visit the key Facebook app at the same time.
