Download the Sept 16 Th Issue of the Telegraph Rimage Becomes Qumu: Fully Committing to Video Communications Today, Rimage announced it is changing its name to Qumu. In reality, there is a lot more than a simple name change and new website, happening here. The company is working hard to stay ahead of a changing market and changing business model. Currently, 78% of their revenue is derived from the mature disc market, and 22% is from the video offerings of their Qumu subsidiary. However, the disc market is undergoing a measured decline, while the market for video is expanding by leaps and bounds. The good news is that Qumu is uniquely well suited to not only survive this sea change, but thrive from it. We called the folks at Qumu to get the inside scoop, click through to find out what we have learned. Continue reading...

The Google and Vidyo Partnership Enters a New Phase: Scalable WebRTC August 28, 2013 | David S. Maldow, Esq. Vidyo announced a new development in its relationship with Google today. The result will be a videoconferencing experience combining the benefits of WebRTC and SVC (scalable video coding). I spoke with Vidyo CEO, Ofer Shapiro, to get the inside scoop on this announcement. But first, in order to understand the full context, we need to go back and take a quick look at the very successful result of their partnership to date, Google Hangouts. The "Google Hangout" feature is the shining star of the Google+ social network. While the debate over the long term viability of Google+ continues, no one can deny that Hangouts are a winner. Aside from its adoption and use among consumers (as a free alternative to Skype, which charges for multiparty meetings), some enterprising individuals and businesses have leveraged Hangouts in truly novel video applications. Continue reading... Avizia Educator: Videoconferencing and Complete Room Control August 26, 2013 | David S. Maldow, Esq. While the standard meeting room will always have its place in business and education, it may be destined to become a secondary player to new, technology powered, collaboration rooms. What is the difference? A meeting room is a place where people talk about the work they need to do, while a collaboration room provides the tools needed to actually get the job done. Whether the room is powered by large touch screens, projectors, integrated project management software, videoconferencing technology, or all of the above and more, the purpose is clearly more than simply reviewing your progress with the boss before returning to your cubicle. Education has been a strong early adopter of collaboration technologies, as they often work excellently as teaching tools. After all, a good teacher lectures, but a great teacher collaborates with the class. The problem is that these technologies can be complicated, and a teacher should ideally be focused on the subject at hand, not on learning all of the intricacies of the classroom projector, touch screen, VC unit, etc. etc. The teacher doesn't need more tools, he or she needs an easy way to control all of the existing technologies, ideally from one interface. This is the goal of the Avizia Educator. We spoke with Corey Costly (Avizia CMO) to learn more about this new solution. Continue reading... New Sony Endpoint? What Would Be The Point? August 23, 2013 | David S. Maldow, Esq. An item crossed my desk today regarding a new Sony endpoint. While the articleappears to be referring to an existing product, it did get me thinking about Sony and videoconferencing. I have always been confused by Sony's position in the videoconferencing market. This particular product, the $8,999 PCS- XG100S (shown above, and released earlier this year) is a perfect example of my concern. Why is Sony, one of the best video electronics manufacturers on the planet, always behind the times and off the mark when it comes to videoconferencing? With Sony's amazing video expertise and massive resources they should be able to offer more than products which simply play industry catch up, and lean on "specmanship" over user experience.

August 23, 2013 | Telepresence Options August 19, 2013 Telepresence holds great promise for retail banking, but most early-movers are missing the boat.

Augmenting reality to share both experience and information August 19, 2013 | Telepresence Options Story and images by Maria Korolov / Hyper Grid Business At some distant point in the future, virtual reality will be good enough and immersive enough that we can telecommute to our jobs by simply stepping into some version of a Holodeck or plugging into some version of the Matrix. Today's virtual reality has only very limited use for the average corporate employee. There are some uses. Rapid prototyping, virtual simulations, the occasional virtual meeting or conference. But these are, right now, very much niche applications. Continue reading... Ubuntu Edge Hits $12 Million in Pledges - 1 Day to Go August 19, 2013 | Telepresence Options

  • Ubuntu Edge, El Smartphone De Canonical En Busca De Financiación
    Ubuntu Edge, el smartphone de Canonical en busca de financiación Canonical lleva un tiempo prometiendo quedesembarcará de lleno en el mercado de los smartphones con terminales gobernados por una versión móvil de Ubuntu pero, para conseguirlo, ha decidido reclamar la ayuda de los usuarios. Esto es, ha lanzado una campaña de crowdfunding a través de la plataforma Indiegogo para juntar el dinero necesario para su desarrollo, que ha sido presentada como la mayor iniciativa de este tipo jamás organizada. No en vano, los chicos de Canonical se han puesto como meta reunir 32 millones de dólares en un periodo máximo de 30 días. Con este dinero fabricarán un lote limitado de 40.000 dispositivos y aquellas personas que quieran llevarse uno de ellos deberán aportar 600 dólares el primer día (opción que a estar horas ya está agotada) o bien 830 dólares a partir de ahí. Se estima que este primer terminal, bautizado con el nombre deUbuntu Edge, comenzará a comercializarse en mayo de 2014. “Ubuntu Edge es el dispositivo de convergencia definitivo, al poner a prueba las normas establecidas para PCs y smartphones”, ha dicho Mark Shuttleworth. “El enfoque del crowdfunding es una manera novedosa de probar la demanda de tecnologías de vanguardia y nuevas clases de dispositivos, [así que] soportar a Ubuntu Edge es la mejor manera de catalizar la próxima generación de dispositivos personales en la industria”. Las principales características de este terminal es que tendrá arranque dual para Ubuntu OS y Android, y que será capaz de transformarse en un PC al uso si se acopla a un monitor.

We kept on architecting, designing and developing apps for our customers – and it has been quite a few interesting years since then: old platforms faded, new platforms were born and a selected few took over the world by storm.

  • THE OFFICIAL UBUNTU BOOK CAPTURES Both the Spirit and the Precision with Which Ubuntu Itself Is Crafted
    Praise for Previous Editions of The Offi cial Ubuntu Book “The Offi cial Ubuntu Book is a great way to get you started with Ubuntu, giving you enough information to be productive without overloading you.” —John Stevenson, DZone book reviewer “OUB is one of the best books I’ve seen for beginners.” —Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide “This book is the perfect companion for users new to Linux and Ubuntu. It covers the basics in a concise and well-organized manner. General use is cov- ered separately from troubleshooting and error-handling, making the book well suited both for the beginner as well as the user who needs extended help.” —Thomas Petrucha, Austria Ubuntu User Group “I have recommended this book to several users who I instruct regularly on the use of Ubuntu. All of them have been satisfi ed with their purchase and have even been able to use it to help them in their journey along the way.” —Chris Crisafulli, Ubuntu LoCo Council, Florida Local Community Team “This text demystifi es a very powerful Linux operating system. In just a few weeks of having it, I’ve used it as a quick reference a half-dozen times, which saved me the time I would have spent scouring the Ubuntu forums online.” —Darren Frey, Member, Houston Local User Group “This is a book that the new Ubuntu user would fi nd helpful in getting started and the more experienced computer user would fi nd informative enough to keep as a reference manual. I also enjoyed the computing humor.” —Dr. Gregory Chapelle, General Atomics, Electromagnetics Division, San Diego, California “In short, this book is something that I can honestly recommend to anyone using Ubuntu.
