Dell (s dell) and eBay took home the award for “Modular Data Center Deployment” for its Project Mercury data center in downtown Phoenix.

Randall Munroe, creator of the popular web comic XKCD, first made the observation with his own chart. Munroe's not the only one to note Tumblr's ascendance. ComScore data show Tumblr got 21.8 million unique visitors in the U.S. in March, compared to 8.4 million in March 2011. Despite that surge in traffic, Tumblr CEO David Karp told Advertising Age last week that he has no desire to monetize the p

The Huffington Post won a Pulitzer Prize Monday. The world didn’t end. Put another way, a publication that had the smarts to hire some very good journalists and let them do what they do best won an important prize from a group that not too long ago thought the medium was the message — and has since learned that the work is the message. Veteran reporter David Wood won the HuffPo’s (and AOL’s) first
2013 Ford Escape Can Park Itself, Unlock, Open the Hatch [nggallery id=5141] I used to think hands-free driving meant you keep your hands off your smartphone when hitting the open road. A brief spin in Ford’s new 2013 Ford Escape, however, taught me that sometimes it can also mean you don’t need to put your hands on the wheel, the door handle or a latch. The new Escape, which is arriving at auto d

There are three main editions. At the basic level there's plain, simple Windows 8, which Microsoft says should include everything most consumers will need for a typical PC. Windows 8 will run on PCs (both 32- and 64-bit) and include pretty much everything we've seen so far, from Metro apps like Internet Explorer and the Xbox Live hub to the picture password tricks that Microsoft is so proud of.

He just never thought he would become one. Little, more commonly known of late as Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, found out four hours after he became a viral sensation that everyone suddenly knew his face. In response to Redditors who asked for a Q-and-A session, Little held a Monday evening Reddit iAmA, discussing his life outside of running and being really-really-really-ridiculously-good-looking.

[読了時間:2分] これまで「占い」と言えば、占い師から運勢を一方的に告げられるだけのものだった。それをソーシャル型のmixiアプリにしたのが「ステラ薫子☆みんなで開運」だ。 幸運をシェア?「ソーシャル」??どういう意味だ、それ?ソーシャル化なんて可能なんだろうか? このアプリに組み込んである西洋占星術の診断機能「占いエンジンStar Engine」を開発した株式会社フォーチュン・ラボの熊崎裕之さんによると、いい運勢を友人とシェアすることは可能だという。 熊崎さんによると、占いエンジンのベースになっている人気占い師ステラ薫子さんの考え方では、人間には自ら変えることのできない「宿命」と、変えることのできる「運命」がある。そして「運命」はいい運気を持つ人の近くにいることなどで、いい方向に変えることが可能だという。 そこでこのmixiアプリでは、占いでいい結果が出た日には、そのいい運気をマイミク
Microsoft(s MSFT) has chosen the brand names under which it will sell Windows 8, the company’s most important product launch in a generation. There’s good news and bad news: Microsoft has smartly cut down on the number of versions that consumers and businesses will have to choose between, but it has chosen to give its first ARM-friendly operating system a weird name, perhaps in deference to an old
We all love to download apps, and scoring free apps is like winning a fluffy animal from one of those arcade claw machines. The "freemium" business model is incredibly effective and lucrative for some companies, but users are likely spending as much time zapping ads as we are zombies. Or we have to spend actual money to jump levels, buy coins or draw with different colors. On the other hand, a few
Live Nation says its Ticketmaster subsidiary was hacked. A hacker claims to be selling 560 million customer records. An autonomous pod. A solid-state battery-powered sports car.

The National Labor Relations Board has bad news for employers that want to heavily restrict their employees’ speech on social media. Employers can either update their policies to allow for the same types of speech that the National Labor Relations Act allows elsewhere, or they can find themselves facing lawsuits under the act.

技術が日々革新し、目まぐるしく事業環境が変わる米シリコンバレー。その混沌の中で、いかに起業の成功「確度」を上げるか。リース氏は、この古くて新しい難題に取り組むための考え方を本書に示した。昨年9月に米国で出版され、全米のベストセラーとなっている。 その要諦を端的に言えば、短い周期で仮説構築と検証を繰り返しながら、顧客のニーズを満たす製品・サービスを探り当てていくマネジメント論だといえる。 顧客の反応をみながら製品を磨く 顧客のニーズを予想し、長い期間をかけて準備した万全のサービスが、さっぱり受けなかった…。起業経験者や、新規事業開発担当者なら、一度はこうした経験があるだろう。本来なら、その失敗から学び、顧客のニーズを再検証した上で次のサービスにつなげていくべきなのだが、大抵の場合、起業やプロジェクトは、その時点で終了してしまう。自らもこうした失敗体験を持つリース氏は、従来のこのサイクルに疑問
With weather warming up in the Northern hemisphere, it’s time to get outside. My wife and I like to take the road bikes out and ride together, but we sometimes separate for stretches as one or the other of us is able to work the local hills better.
