How much do they cost? ­ How do these costs compare with those that might be obtained by aggressive contract negotiation, perhaps for a larger number of seats? Going forward ­ What are the Best Practices re: software acquisition, software distribution, and contract management? ­ Where are there economies of scale? ­ What are the barriers to purchasing through negotiated agreements? Are there incentives? ­ What are the options – on campus, at other UCs, in the “cloud”?

  • 1Understanding Android
    1 Understanding Android In mobile device terms, the word Android can refer to either an Android device or to the Android operating system. In very simple terms, an Android device is any device that runs the Android operat- ing system. You might also encounter androids from science fiction films and books, which are robots that resemble people, but that’s not the type of Android I discuss in this book. You don’t need to understand what Android is or how it works to use it. You can simply turn your device on and start pressing buttons and tapping icons and you’ll probably get along just fine. That approach worked just fine for my 3-year-old daughter; she figured it out pretty quickly, much to my dismay. But in case you want a small peek behind the Android curtain, this chapter is for you . Introducing the Android Operating System Android is the operating system that powers all Android devices. Much like how the Windows operating system powers laptop and desktop computers, or Apple’s iOS (formerly known as the iPhone OS) powers iPhones and iPads. Think of it as the underlying software that instructs your device what to do. When you install an Android app onto an Android device, you are installing an app that was written spe- cifically for the Android operating system. You can’t install a Windows app on an Android device, and you can’t install an Android app onto a Windows computer. Actually, that last part isn’t exactly true. You actually can install Android apps onto a Windows computer — and even on Macs and Linux PCs, for that matter — but only if the computer is running a special piece of software called an Android emulator, which creates a virtual Android device on your computer.

  • Kik Messenger Remains a Contender in Messaging App Space
    ← Distimo iOS App Update: Publications, Ad Tracking, Metrics and More Leo’s Fortune Follows Monument Valley, Generates Over 50% of Total Revenue in First 7 Days → Kik Messenger Remains a Contender in Messaging App Space Posted on May 14, 2014 by Scott Reyburn It’s been a wild year so far in the global mobile messaging app space. With many more months left in 2014, the dust has yet to settle on the messaging app battlefield. Major messaging app players have been acquired, funded or added a significant amount of new features in 2014. In February, Japanese Internet giant Rakuten acquired messaging app provider Viber Media for $900 million. A few days later, Facebook purchased mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion. The following month, U.S. IPO-bound Albiaba from China led the latest round of funding for messaging service Tango, investing $215 million of the $280 million in the round. In early May, ephemeral photo messaging startup Snapchat added a text chat component to its mobile app. The new text messaging feature put Snapchat in the same realm as messaging app juggernauts such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. One messaging app that has kept developing new features is Kik Messenger from Watlerloo, Ontario-based Kik Interactive. We flipped through estimated downloads data from Distimo AppIQ to benchmark Kik’s Sign up Sign in current foothold in theAnalytics messaging appAppIQ space.

Defragmentation has also gained recognition for its critical role in addressing issues of system reliability and improved uptime, particularly since Microsoft’s decision to include a defragmentation utility in the Windows 2000 and newer operating systems. Disk fragmentation is In this white paper, we explain some of the most common reliability and downtime phenomena often the “straw that broke associated with fragmentation, and the technical reasons behind them. This includes a discussion the camel’s back” when of each of the most common occurrences documented by our R&D labs, customers (empirical noting issues of stability results presented), as well as others, in recent years.

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, in a speech at the San Francisco conference Thursday, urged scientists to come forward and help communicate to the public about the dangers of climate change. He warned that climate change presents an unusual, and dire, set of circumstances, and getting the public to understand the problem and then act upon it is not easy. Humanity will essentially have to make large changes in how it consumes natural resources, and instilling massive societal changes is THE BIG PICTURE RELATED STORIES WHAT'S HOT LATEST HEADLINES difficult.

  • Diskeeper and Disk Encryption
    Diskeeper ® and Disk Encryption OVERVIEW In the early 1990s, Diskeeper Corporation (a Microsoft ® Gold Partner) and Microsoft co-wrote Windows ® kernel-level code, and exposed an API (Application Programming Interfaces), prior to release of NT4 for third party software providers. This “MoveFile” API as it is called, has allowed defragmentation programs to operate as user-mode applications ever since, through Windows Server ™ 2008, Windows 7, etc… The benefit of having integrated defrag-based file movement in Windows is that all file movement in an online defragmentation operation by a product, such as Diskeeper, is entirely handled by the operating system. A defragmenter, such as Diskeeper, is from this viewpoint, logic that instructs the file system, via that API, to put file fragments that it discovers back together again into an available and contiguous free space on a given Windows volume. The process has been 100% safe for data since introduction in NT4. More recently, the NTFS file system added and fully supports disk/file encryption as evidenced by EFS (Encrypting File System), and Microsoft products such as Windows Bit Locker. It is fairly well known that Windows also ships with a native defragmenter (a product initially provided by Diskeeper for the Windows 2000 platform). It then stands to reason that Microsoft has a vested interest in maintaining continuing compatibility with defragmentation and, minimally, their own drive/file encryption solutions, and this is certainly the case. Over the years our vast install base (10 million+) has brought to our attention rare and temporary incompatibilities that other products have had with the Microsoft MoveFile API.
