Having trouble understanding your baby’s burbles, screeches and noisy, wheedling screams? There’s an app for that. The Cry Translator listens to a whining child and analyzes the pitch, volume, tone and inflection of his nerve-jangling noise. Ten seconds later, it provides you with one of five “translations”: hungry, sleepy, stressed, ...

Maybe he’s reading too much into Ballmer’s lack of enthusiasm. Maybe’s Steve’s mellowing. Maybe he was bummed out about having to lay off more people . Maybe he was coming down with swine flu. Or maybe “Window 7 has done quite well” isn’t “quite well” enough. Shy and retiring Microsoft CEO ...

On being laid off from Microsoft
—
So I got laid off from Microsoft on Wednesday. I wasn’t really bothered about the job, as I wasn’t happy with it already and had been looking to find something else for quite a while. The unfortunate part is that it affects my immigration status and so I can’t stay that long right now in the US, where many of my friends are. But ...

Take a loaf of bread, make a few cuts with a knife, and you have Bread Shoes . (via Foolish Gadgets ) Comments | Posted in Food & Drink

Here's one of the guns used by Hasan yesterday, purchased legally . I'd hate to think he killed an injured all those people with an illegally-purchased weapon. The one shown here has an optional light, for nighttime operations -- which could be very handy. Records indicate Hasan bought the FN 5.7 at store called Guns Galore in Killeen, Texas, ...

A few days ago, I made a comment in a Banjo Hangout thread that caused the thread to be closed. The topic was Genesis . It started like this: Being a big fan of R. Crumb, both as an artist and as a musician (I love the Cheap Suit Serenaders), I've been really anxious to pick up a copy of his recently published take on the book of Genesis. I got ...

World leaders who met last month at the United Nations climate summit took stock of the sobering reality that a global pact on climate change very likely will not be achieved in Copenhagen this December. At the heart of this looming failure is money. Most of the proposed solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions are costly, and funds are scarce. ...

You have to admit, this isn't the kind of failure of the Large Hadron Collider anyone planned for: The bird dropped some bread on a section of outdoor machinery, eventually leading to significant over heating in parts of the accelerator. The LHC was not operational at the time of the incident, but the spike produced so much heat that had the ...

A survey about state of the art C compiler optimization tricks , Felix von Leitner, Linux Kongress 2009. The introduction and the conclusion is quite well put: Optimizing == important.

As of this week’s Internet Identity Workshop, I’m now rather convinced that an “identity selector” is the wrong product and the wrong feature set, regardless of the exact details of a particular vendor’s implementation. Several discussions in several contexts, including how to best make a browser identity-aware, all ...

I'll be joined by Alex Petrushko from our partner Identigral to talk about how Oracle Virtual Directory can improve your identity management implementation. Alex will be speaking about how a large telco provider used OVD to reduce time it takes to deploy new applications.
When CA acquired Orchestria, I said it was a good move. I even wrote a follow-up post about why Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Data Security/Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) fit so well together. 2 weeks ago, CA sent out a fairly lengthy press release with a list of products they've updated. The 2 products that caught my eye were GRC ...
