“Expert A Says…” v.s. “Expert B Says…”

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:58:21 EDT

When I take parents through the process, my ultimate goal is not to imprint my method of parenting onto them, but rather it is to help them discover their own voice in parenting. I am frustrated with the advice of all of you parenting experts out there. I read articles so that I can become a better parent, but I am constantly running into people like you who say one thing, and people like John Rosemond who says another. You promote being a child advocate, while he insists on an old school discipline approach. Which method is correct? Or is it that you are both wrong? I just want to do the right thing so that my child is going to be the best she can be. I am including an example article of his.

Ubidyne’s New Micro Radio Delivers Scalable Output Power Performance

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:56:28 EDT

Ubidyne, a leading developer of dynamic digital active antenna technology for wireless communications, is showcasing its unique chip-based power amplifier solution for active antenna design at the LTE Summit later this month in Barcelona. Ubidyne's new P-Chip is at the heart of its latest micro radio transceiver and delivers scalable output power solutions for both small-cell and macro-cell active antennas. This means that radio equipment vendors and mobile network operators can benefit from economies of scale by using the same micro radio technology for any size of mobile operator cell array and network standard. Based on the Doherty amplifier design, a single transceiver provides output power between 0.8W and 6.4W by parallel use of P-Chips. For example, an array with 16 micro radios can easily exceed the output power of 2x40W of today's available remote radio heads. The P-Chip is the only fully integrated Doherty MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) power amplifier with more than 39 dBm peak output power. With high levels of integration and few external components, Ubidyne's P-Chip provides low-cost transceiver solutions for the telecom equipment market across a wide range of mobile operator requirements.

Network Topology Diagram

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:53:16 EDT

First of all, it's worth mentioning that the choice of network hardware and software used in a company depends on the network topology. But the topology, in turn, depends on the company's needs and requirements. Thus, the competent network topology increases the efficiency of all the organization and allows you not to distract your colleagues if one of the LAN components falls out. In addition, the intimate knowledge of the network topology allows the IT manager to evaluate its bottlenecks, and to plan further connections of the network devices and PCs better. Apart from everything else, the system administrator has to detect and recover any network failure as fast as possible. But if the company's network is complex and consists of dozens or hundreds PCs, servers, switches, printers, and other devices, it is not always possible to understand what the problem is and where to go to recover the failure. With the network diagram you always could view and try to understand where the defective device is, on which floor, in which office, etc.

Mind the Gap - Three Gaps to High Velocity Pipeline and How to Cross Them

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:45:00 EDT

Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Creating and Implementing Real-World Projects

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:44:30 EDT

This book is unique in the library of SharePoint 2010 books I own. It is a recipe book for entire solutions. The recipes take you from compiling the requirements to the implementation and the management of the final solution. Although the solutions in the book are good, they are not what I found to be its most valuable asset. The process the authors walk you through and the way they teach you to think about the design of the solutions is the most valuable part of the book. Each solution has the following sections : Identifying the Business Problems, Gathering Information, Designing the Solution, Building the Solution, Managing the Solution, and Reviewing the Platform.

HVS Financial Launches the Most Comprehensive, Accurate Long-Term Care Calculator to Help Boomers Plan for LTC Costs in Retirement

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:43:22 EDT

It is an indisputable fact that healthcare expenses rise exponentially in the final two years of life, and the main source of these costs are assisted living facilities and nursing homes. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 70% of individuals over 65 will need some level of long-term care (but not everyone will qualify), and the average expenditures can range from $20,000 to $150,000 per year in out-of-pocket expenses. Another significant problem is that these figures are based on today's dollars, offering little in the way of long-term projections to help people plan for the future.

Cloud Computing: HTC Phones Cool Their Heels in US Customs Due to Ban

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:30:00 EDT

Shipments of two new HTC smartphones have been seized for inspection by US Customs because of the limited import ban Apple got from the International Trade Commission in mid-December. HTC was found to have infringed an Apple patent on “data tapping.” That’s when you, say, tap on a phone number and the dingus dials it for you. The Taiwan company wouldn’t be in this predicament if it had followed through on its initial decision to just rip the functionality out. Instead it ultimately decided on a workaround and the customs people are checking to see if it’s abiding by the rules. That means that the HTC One X that AT&T just started selling out of shipments that beat the ban’s April 19 enforcement date is now listed as “out of stock” and the HTC Evo 4G LTE that Sprint was to start selling this Friday has been put on hold. Sprint is taking pre-orders.

IBM Pushing Forward with SmartCloud

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:24:00 EDT

The big, old-line enterprise IT vendors are now all-in, or close to it, with cloud computing. This may make things seem less exciting than a few years ago, when a flurry of startups were pushing the envelope and grabbing the headlines. But it's a good thing for IT buyers, and not necessarily a bad thing for the smaller companies that are now doing partnership deals with the big dogs and occasionally been bought out by them. IBM is a case in point, as it moves ahead with its SmartCloud Services strategy. The latest stats from Big Blue say there are now 1 million users of enterprise apps, more than $100 billion (with a nod to Dr. Evil) in revenue, and 4.5 million daily client transactions in the IBM Cloud. Forget all that early and some of that current talk about saving money. “Cloud is more than just about gaining efficiencies and cost savings, it's about driving...fundamental innovation,” according to Paul Loftus, general manager, IBM Global Technology Services. This no doubt comes to a relief to large-company IT execs, who really don't need their bosses harping on them to save money save money save money every day. They need to create cloud infrastructures that are flexible, clever, and future-proof more than they need to focus exclusively on cost. Lots of Stuff Going On One recent development finds TopCoder, touted as “the world's largest Open Innovation Community of digital creators,” moving its global community of more than 400,000 developers to IBM SmartCloud Enterprise. IBM has also said the beta period of its SmartCloud Application Services (SCAS) has finished, as it “is expanding to a full pilot with new customers.” The company says it's added a range of new customers in health care, international development, retail, manufacturing, and academia. And whither those exciting cloud companies of yore? IBM notes it's added several of them as new ISVs and partners, including AppZero, Cloud Prime, Cohesive FT, Convertigo, Corent, Jaspersoft, NViso, SOASTA, Sproxil, SugarCRM, Vacava, Vision Solutions, and Zementis.
