UK, US Play Piracy Tug-of-War

There is cross-party pressure in the UK to stay the extradition of 23-year-old Richard O'Dwyer, who founded a website that shared links to TV shows. Last month Theresa May, the UK home secretary, approved the extradition request to send O'Dwyer to the U.S., where he faces up to 10 years in prison for copyright violations.

Report: Wearable Computing Will Soon Intensify The Platform Wars

Google made quite a splash with its Project Glass video earlier this month. While Google's vision of wearable computing still looks a bit like science fiction today, a new report by Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps argues that "in three years, wearables will matter to every product strategist" and that smart developers should start experimenting with applications for wearables on the "big five" platforms (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook) today.

HTC One S for T-Mobile review

A couple weeks ago we got to have our Ice Cream Sandwich and eat it too, thanks to a gorgeous couple phones from HTC -- the One X and the One S. Both run Sense 4 -- a thinner, lighter version of the company's polarizing UI -- and together with the entry-level One V, represent HTC's attempt to make a comeback after a lackluster year of me-too products. The first to make its way to the US is the One S which lands on T-Mobile April 25 for $199 on contract (with a $50 rebate). We just spent a weekend with Magenta's new flagship handset. So how does it compare to the global One S? Find out after the break.

Travel In Care of Budget Insurance | Wandering Thought

Summer vacation is upon us once again, and this is the time when many families are looking to travel when the children are out of school. I am too, looking for a break from the morning chaos, and lazy days.Working from home gives me this benefit of being there for my children, and schedule my time to tailor to their needs. Thanks to today technology, I can take my work with me if I go, and do as much as I want or as little as I wish.

I have plan to travel in the US in this summer, but for world travelers, you should seriously consider about budget travel insurance. As in life, unexpected things happen beyond our control, and preparing for the worst is always better than being sorry.

With travel insurance, you are covered for medical expenses overseas, cancellations costs, travel delay, trip disruption, luggage and personal effects, personal liability, hijacking, out of pocket expenses, plus many other issues.

Your coverage could be as low as $1.60 a day, and you can enroll the entire family or just for yourself; knowing that you will also get 24/7 emergency assistance should something unpleasant occurs.

Traveling can be tiresome, and the last thing you need is worry. Leave these unforeseen events in the care of travel insurance, and just enjoy your trip!

Children of Business Backgrounds Can Attain Quality Education in ...

The system of boarding schools is prevalent in India from a long time. These schools allow the children to learn to live independently and fend for their own. Although, unaccustomed to these schools at first, the Indian students adapted quickly and a majority of the pupils from business families prefer to study in boarding schools. These schools are mostly established in hill stations and cities with less population and tourist attraction. This is in order to isolate the students from the general hustle bustle of the town and give them a peaceful atmosphere to live and learn.

Boarding schools in India are affiliated to various education councils such as ICSE, CBSE or the State Board or the International Baccalaureate (IB) board. These schools are targeted towards the students of higher income families and not all parents can afford sending their children to boarding schools.

Boarding schools have a high level of strictness and discipline in order to inculcate good habits and morals in the students who live in the absence of parental guidance. These schools enable them to grow into individuals with the capability to excel in every field.

Boarding schools in Dehradun are considered to be the best in the country. These schools mostly follow the ICSE or IB board of education. Along with the constant stress on studies, these schools also encourage the students to take part in sports and other co curricular and extracurricular activities. They provide excellent food and lodging for the students with facilities like 24x7 internet access and common rooms having television for recreation. Libraries are also available at the convenient disposal of the students.

They have a healthy curriculum and schedule for the students, which involve the classes being held in the daytime, and the evenings are for sports and recreational activities.

Mussourie is one of the major tourist attractions in India. It is a hill station with magnificent views and some of the best boarding schools in the country. These schools teach exclusively through the medium of English language. Boarding schools in Mussourie are known for their strict administration and excellent teaching methods. They create an environment for a student, which does not allow them to get homesick. The rigorous and active routines of students help them stay mentally and physically healthy. In addition to the high quality of education provided to the students, these schools also encourage the students to take part in sports and other healthy activities so that inspite of living out of their homes, they follow a healthy routine and evolve as morally, physically and mentally sound human beings.

If the third digit of your birth year is a nine (or heck, a zero), you'll likely never have experienced the true agony joy that was BBS or Bulletin Board Systems. Well, thanks to nostalgic developer Norbert Landsteiner, you can take a glimpse at how your dad got online with an HTML / JavaScript emulation BBS Google.

All the details are there, right down to the familiar modem tones and ASCII graphics, it's even somewhat functional (when the API isn't over its limit.) So, want to appreciate that browser you complain about on twitter all the time over your LTE connection? Tab on down to the source link for a lesson in gratitude.

Reader Rants: Cagereaders take on the Olympics, Jon Jones/Muhammad Ali comparisons and advice for Rashad Evans

After you had plenty to say about Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar and Brock Lesnar last week, Cagereaders were a bit quieter this week. However, you still had plenty of opinions to share. Read on for the latest Reader Rants. If you want to join in, like Cagewriter on Facebook and comment on stories. Also, we still are looking for your picks on the UFC 145 main card, so go like the page and tell us who you're picking and why.

MMA fans look at the idea of the sport in the Olympics with a bit of skepticism.

That would be very cool, but the Olympics is very heavy on safety. Probably it would be like combat sambo with the headgear and shin guards, and maybe an elbow pad. -- Gab'bo Hofile?a Delgado

I can't see it happening. If all the title holders decided to fight in the Olympics that would mean 3-4 months with no title fights. It's hard to sell PPVs without title fights. -- Kevin Dailey

The UFC made another Jon Jones/Muhammad Ali comparison in a video posted on Cagewriter's Facebook page. Readers felt the comparison was a bit too early in Bones' career.

Purely fighting, okay, the comparison is fine. Young, talented, seemingly unstoppable. But Ali was culturally so much more than a boxer, and I like Jones but I don't see him as a cultural icon forty years after he stops fighting. -- John Wilcox

No offense to Bones, but that comparison doesn't fit as much to me as Ali to Anderson Silva. Same attitude, same long-term domination, not nearly the same cultural impact... but I think Silva would be the closest MMA fighter to compare to Ali. -- Jason Zachary

After hearing advice from Rashad Evans' mother on how to handle Jones, several Cagereaders offered their advice to Evans. Much of it is not very nice.

Fake an injury before the fight cuz jones is going to crush him. -- Doug Martin

The night before the fight, you pull a Tonya Harding! -- William Corral

Use plenty of ice for the swelling and lots of Kleenex to wipe your tears. -- Jimbo Thompson

Strategies for successful long-term planning - strategy planning, risk ...

Gartner issues a note to clients warning of impending economic doom. On one hand, it could be dismissed as just another research missive injected into the steady stream of bad news flowing out of Europe and North America.

On the other, sometimes it?s worth taking a closer look. Embedded in the report?s slightly awkward title, Anticipate Which 2012 Recession IT Strategy to Apply, is a core assumption the CIO agenda in 2012 will be dominated by another global downturn. It?s a case of not ?if?, but ?when?.

Various ?economists, banks and business commentators? rate the probability of a recession at anywhere between 25 and 60 per cent, Gartner writes. Helpful statistics? Not really. Unsettling? A little.

But for CIOs, evaluating potential business risks such as global economics and their impact on long-term strategic IT plans has become an increasingly complex task. And it seems the list of risky scenarios keeps growing with the increasing pace of technology innovation: The so-called ?consumerisation of IT?, greater demands from the business for sophisticated IT solutions, and transitioning to new utility-style cost models.

Then there?s new legislation on the domestic front, impacting a range of industries from high-tech to healthcare, financial planning and the entertainment industry.

For Rick Coenen, IT manager at ALH Group, new legislation is far from trivial. ALH is an entertainment and hotel conglomerate 75 per cent owned by Woolworths and 25 per cent by entrepreneur, Bruce Mathieson. Coenen explained the proposal to introduce a pre-commitment system, whereby gamblers pre-commit to a total spending amount on each poker machine, directly impacts his plans.

?We would like to have a project up and running to do a complete review of our gaming systems, but with the review of pre-commitment, we don?t know what our requirements will be,? he says.

I?m now using IT to drive transformation

Other business issues impacting the efficacy of a CIO?s long-term strategic planning are better understood.

Chief executive at recruiting firm Peoplebank, Peter Acheson, explains one of his objectives is growth through acquisition. Underpinning the strategy is a directive that the IT systems of any acquired organisations will be rolled into Peoplebank?s infrastructure. ?I?m now using IT to drive transformation,? he says.

Acheson?s confidence in ICT?s role as an acquisition enabler comes after he engaged in a strategic review of Peoplebank?s technology operations with national IT manager, Gerard Hughes, 18 months ago.

In this case, Hughes says, the organisation achieved a sound long-term strategy by aligning IT?s goals with that of the business and effectively engaging each of the stakeholders across various business units.

What else?

The adage of ?aligning business and IT? is perhaps too often proffered in CIO circles, prompting the question: What else does it take?

In Peoplebank?s case, successful long-term strategic planning involves detailed risk analysis on individual IT projects, an understanding of governance requirements, investment analysis, budget demands and security impacts.

?I think the core issue is to understand the strategic intent of the organisation,? Hughes says. ?From this you can work out where the business plans to be in a couple of years? time, [and] convert it into what IT needs to do to enable the business to reach that point.

?You can perform a current state versus future state analysis of IT to determine the IT gaps, then from this an IT roadmap can be developed to achieve the transformation required.?

His perspective reflects the four cycles typically considered by CIOs when developing strategic IT plans: Very short term (one quarter), short term (12 months), mid term (three years), and long term (10 years). Long-term strategies are constantly re-evaluated in light of short-term events, according to Gartner. But the bigger question is: Should CIOs set these long-term plans in stone? Peter Evans Greenwood, an independent enterprise advisor, thinks not.

California Payday Loans Might be the Rescuer in Financial Dilemmas

Nowadays nearly everybody is able to get installment faxless online payday loans. There are only several points that an individual needs to follow in order to obtain payday loan. Don?t falter to get this service even if you have bad credit score. There?re payday loans that do not consider credit worthiness as one of their most significant claims. Such help is a nice resolution to any unpredicted occurrence.

The payday loan is open to dwellers with no credit cards and not suitable credit score. The quickest and the easiest mean to obtain extra finance is to look for online creditor. There?re ultimate options you need to provide with in order get the credit. They will require you to show the proof that you are able to return the loan opportunely and fully, also your address and phone number.

There?re other companies or lenders who do not perform any sort of examination and simply ratify your payday loan instantly. In order to check that you are able to return the quantity the lender will require your boss about the salary you possess every month.

There?re so many different demands as there are creditors around; so see all conditions prior applying. Sometimes they might view whether you are able to manage your utility bills or whether you own a vehicle. Agents will telephone you or send a notification telling that you have obtained the sanction and can use the money. The procedure is so fast, that frequently you can waste borrowed funds the same day.

It may look like a nice bargain, but when you think of the fine charged on these loans you will comprehend that they are boundless. For each time of your failure to pay they will charge you high fees; at times you won?t even forecast the volume to be so high. The best mean to ensure that you will be able to repay your payday loan successfully is to take nominal quantity of funds.

In order not to waste funds, strive to borrow the size you need and not more. Payday loan is not a method for leisure; so forget the possibility of taking additional money for joy ? only take for necessary things. That is because you may have taken too much and your payday loan ended a little too fast and you asked from another organization.

You have already understood that the best way to get quick instant cash advance is to look online. There?re a lot of agencies that are ready to give you extra finance at once. Do not select the first organization you notice ? constantly choose among several and view its legitimacy. That might be fulfilled by inspecting with the BBB (better business bureau). If you do not want to run with the haste of selecting a company then you have options. Select among organizations in your area and you may find rather appropriate offers.

The 1 hour payday loans charge various extra penalties according to the quantity of cash that you are taking. This goes for the loan tenure too because the tenure increases so does the rate of interest that you are required to return.
