285 million records were stolen in 2008 from Verizon Wireless, that is more than the last four years combined. These are getting stolen from lost laptops and massive data thefts. In 2007 there was 446 breaches, but in 2008 there was 656 breaches. That is about a 47 percent increase in one year. 91 percent of all thefts in 2008 was because of organized crime. A study of 90 breaches reported that 68 were most commonly from Eastern Europe. Another common source was from East Asia.
Today’s thieves choose a target that has data that can be turned into cash. The best way to do this is to find an easy point of entry. Once they found a way in they will insert software into places that help them steal data and send it somewhere.
Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are critical to 21st century learning. Some librarians could see their jobs becoming obsolete as technology and communication evolve around them. Library media specialists are already feeling the current recession so being relevant has never been more important.’’ If educators can’t change job related expectations to reflect changing needs, we become Chrysler or GM’’ tweeted Stuart Ciske, an educational consultant with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
The American Association of School Librarians Standards for the 21st century learner require students to possess not only relevant technology skills, but an understanding of the ethical gathering of information on all digital and social platforms. Media specialists must learn to use these technologies if they want to keep up with the current new technology.
New York’s Tech sector has been growing since 2003. Technology related jobs went up 8.1% from 2006 to 2007 but are not as high as in the 2000 peak. More New York jobs involving technology are being filled in programming than any other tech occupation. There are more software engineers in median pay.
Total technology investment and deal volumes in the NY area have dropped since last year, slipping 28.3% and .8%. These investments are expected to keep falling in 2008. The web is transforming New York City’s biggest media companies. Time Warner has been hit the hardest.
Online efforts need to be as strategic as regular networking. Just like your face to face interactions, you want to develop quality relationship. When you send an invitation to connect with some person, type a message explaining how you know that person. If that person is in your area then you should try to meet them in person.
When using social networks, like twitter tweets, should be about personal things. Talking about your interests outside of work can help you connect with new people. It also shows that you are interested in meeting new people. Volunteering or serving on a committee are also ways to network without the stress of business.
Lawrence Lessig, a professor of law at Stanford Law School, argues that copyright law has not kept up with innovation, but it is holding it back. One of Lessig's arguments is for revising copyright to enable innovation and create new markets. He also says that an intertwining of art that people create and the art that people appropriate.
Lessig has been involved in developing new approaches to copyright. He is also a founder of Creative Commons, licenses that are intended to help producers retain copyright, but at the same time allow copyrighted work to be repurposed or remixed. It also lets the creators of a work of art control what others can do with the material they created.
Technology related jobs were up 8.1% in 2007 compared to 2006 but still was not as big as 2000 during the dot-com boom. NYC techies are employed in programming jobs than in any other tech occupation, but software engineers are tops in median pay.
The web is transforming New York City's biggest media companies. Time Warner is one of the ones getting hit the hardest. In 2007 the net income dropped 33% to $4.4 billion.
Electratherm's closet-size device is the first machine to power generators with heat wasted as low as 2000 F, that is the temperature given off by common chillers or boilers in office buildings. As the heat boils refrigerants into a pressurized gas, it spins to small rotors.
Most people in the world cook over open fires or charcoal or biomass stoves. These burn fuel incompletely and produces carbon monoxide and smoke that can cause 1.5 million deaths a year. Envirofit's Cookstove burns easily found wood but does more than 80% and uses half as much fuel.
The application of digital imaging to sculpture is a relatively recent phenomenon and such image making a a photographic extension, especially as many of the inputs are photographic in nature. Michael Rees' October 2009 exhibition called "Model Behavior" at the Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston, Texas, allows us to wonder, whether or not the opposing poles of figurative and abstract are still valid for sculptural criticism. Rees also shows different aspects beyond the widely understood notations of optical reduction and non-objectivity. Rees uses visually recognizable and inchoate forms. He also includes video, performance, and photography as reminders of his imaging sources.
Rees has been an innovator and advocate for artistic uses of digital imaging technologies as evidenced by the inclusion of his writings and art in Edward Shanken's Art and Electronic Media, arguably the definitive text on digital technologies used in the service of art. Rees's work from the last decade have been slick-surfaced and realized through digital modeling and computer-numeric controlled and rapid-prototype.The Sculptural User Interface (SUI), models text in a virtual 3D environment to make chains of characters and stereo images. As further clues by their crude polygon artifact, the sculpted fingers and feet come from Rees's digital animations that are first realized as digital prototypes and altered by the very physical casting and handwork.
In pretty much all libraries today, there will be many people using the library then those that come through the door. Patrons are accessing resources and services virtually, to the extend where people don't even use the actual library at all. It has challenged libraries to find creative ways to provide comparable library services in the online medium, essentially making their web presence a virtual library branch.
One service all libraries provide to patrons is instruction, whether they are teaching patrons how to use a database or create e-mail account. However, this instruction still takes place only face to face or via email. For the virtual services to be comparable to those given in person, they need to find ways to provide instruction is close as possible to what a patron would get at the library. They can do this by a screencast, which is pretty much like a movie taken of your computers' desktop. It shows everything you do, and allows you to do post-production editing of the recording content so you can create a more polished and concise product. Screencasting is great for library tutorials, the show the librarians going into the database and executing searches. It appeals to all learning styles since it can contain visual, audio, and hands-on components. In addition to offering screencasts on using local resourves, such as the catalog and databases, it also has screencasts on how to subscribe to RRS feeds and connect wirelessly.
