Ebooks Expressplay Is a Great Solution for Protecting Your Ebook Services, Regardless of Your Business Model eBooks ExpressPlay is a great solution for protecting your eBook services, regardless of your business model. With support for the Marlin secure ePubspecification the ExpressPlay SDK integrates into your eBook readers without imposing proprietary formats. Whether you have your own eBook reader app, or you are looking for an off-the-shelf solution for a reader with full content protection, ExpressPlay has you covered. Using a Custom Reader If you have your own ebook reader application you can follow the steps below to setup your ebook service and ebook reader app to work with ExpressPlay. Below is a diagram describing the setup in this case. 1. ExpressPlay DRM Service Sign up and use the web admin to manage your account and track activity. 2. ExpressPlay Packaging Tools Encrypt your ePub content using third party packaging tools such as FBReader’s online packaging service which supports ePub encryption for Marlin. If ePub is not a requirement you can also use the Bento4 packaging tools to encrypt your ebook files into a standard encrypted file called DCF. The source file can be any single file format such as PDF, ZIP, etc. 3. Storefront When your apps ask your storefront to allow viewing of an ebook, your storefront server retrieves a token from ExpressPlay using the REST API, then responds to the app with the token to enable viewing. 4. ExpressPlay SDK Add the ExpressPlay SDK to your custom reader app, using the SDK’s token processing and decryption functions prior to rendering an ebook.

  • Living Without Google on Android
    Alternative for Google Apps on Android - living without Google on Android Android without any Google App? What to use instead of Hangouts, Map, Gmail? Is that even possible? And why would anyone want to live without Google? I've been using a lot of different custom ROMs on my devices, so far the two best: plain Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot on the Nexus 4[^1], and MIUI 2.3.2 on the HTC Desire G7[^2]. All the others ( MUIU 5, MIUI 6 unofficial, AOKP, Kaos, Slim, etc ) were either ugly, unusable, too strange or exceptionally problematic on battery life. For a long time, the first step for me was to install the Google Apps, gapps packages for Plays Store, Maps, and so on, but lately they require so much rights on the phone that I started to have a bad taste about them. Then I started to look for alternatives. 1 of 5 So, what to replace with what? Play Store I've been using F-Droid[^3] as my primary app store for a while now, but since it's strictly Free Software[^4] store only, sometimes there's just no app present for your needs; aptoide[^5] comes very handy in that cases. Hangouts I never liked Hangouts since the move from Gtalk although for a little while it was exceptional for video - I guess it ended when the mass started to use it in replacement of Skype and its recent suckyness. For chat only, check out: ChatSecure[^6], Conversations[^7] or Xabber[^8]. All of them is good for Gtalk-like, oldschool client and though Facebook can be configured as XMPP as well, I'd recommend Xabber for that, the other two is a bit flaky with Facebook.

  • JTTE-020003: Topics in Modern Computer Science
    i JTTE-020003: Topics in Modern Computer Science Michael Kohlhase Computer Science Jacobs University, Bremen Germany [email protected] April 20, 2016 ii Preface The Course While there are different theories about the impact of technology on human nature and culture we can certainly all agree that we are living in an increasingly tech-heavy age. As global networks become more integrated and active, and the way we interact with texts and documents becomes more computer-supported, students from all academic disciplines will benefit from fundamental concepts and tools for dealing with digital documents and from the ability to think critically about the use(s) of technology. This course will introduce students to modern document representation, management, and dis- tribution technologies. These technologies are a central – but by far not the only – aspect of Computer Science. But the underlying mechanisms and principles are very much hidden away un- der the user interfaces that “naive” users use for dealing with documents in their daily lives. This course attempts to reveal some of these underlying mechanisms and forces for a non-CS audience and along the way the course expose students to basic topics in Computer Science. This Document This document contains the course notes for the Triangle Course “Topics in Modern Computer Science” held at Jacobs University Bremen in Spring 2016. Contents: The document mixes the slides presented in class with comments of the instructor to give students a more complete background reference. Caveat: This document is made available for the students of this course only. It is still a draft and will develop over the course of the current course and in coming academic years.
