Spectacular pay raises keep widening the gap between what CEOs earn and what average workers take home. But not all CEOs got a raise last year. We examined 62 tech CEOs' compensation -- including salary, bonuses, stock awards, and perks -- and found 10 who took big cuts.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

The future of networking is a NOS on your choice of bare metal, says Cumulus Networks

JR Rivers, Cumulus Networks CEO If Cumulus Networks has its way, companies will use its Cumulus Linux to decouple the network operating system from the hardware and break free of the integrated approach that has driven the industry for decades. Network World Editor in Chief John Dix talked about the vision with Co-Founder and CEO JR Rivers. Where do you see opportunity for Cumulus? The industry has gotten to the point where standard silicon supports every network function, whether it's routing or load balancing or security. And we recognized the industry was likely to change from being built around appliances -- whether it's a Cisco network switch or an F5 load balancer -- to being a software business that leveraged industry-standard hardware.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Google I/O looks to be about more than Android

Google's annual I/O conference kicks off tomorrow amid widespread speculation that a new version of the Android OS will be announced, perhaps one that marries it with Google's Chrome OS.Google and other companies such as LG are also expected to talk up smartwatches based on the Google Wear OS, which was introduced in March.The opening keynote begins at 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET) in San Francisco with a live video stream online and Google has packed in a variety of breakout sessions into the two-day event. Many of those sessions, built around the conference theme of "design, develop and distribute" will also be live-streamed.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

10 PC-centric announcements we'd love to see at Google I/O

Bringing it all together at Google I/OWe'll no doubt hear plenty about Android and wearable technology at the Google I/O conference this week, but hopefully not at the expense of new features for Chrome, laptops, desktops, and productivity in general. Google has a real chance to make its multi-tentacled ecosystem far more productive for PC users—and a lot (but not all) of that opportunity ties into those mobile devices and wearables expected to steal the spotlight at I/O.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

US FAA outlines restrictions for model aircraft in wake of reckless use

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Monday interpreted existing rules to prohibit hobbyists' model aircraft from flying within 5 miles (8 kilometers) of an airport without clearance from the airport or ground control.The guidance follows incidents involving the reckless use of unmanned model aircraft near airports and involving large crowds of people, FAA said. The U.S. National Park Service last week banned the operation of drones amidst concerns about the safety of people and harassment of animals.Model aircraft hobbyists have to ensure that the aircraft is visible to the operator at all times without viewing aids like binoculars, and is not used for commercial purposes, the FAA said. The aircraft should not weigh more than 55 pounds (25 kilograms), including the weight of the payload and fuel, unless it's certified by an aeromodeling community-based organizationTo read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Google tests domain registration service

If you fancy yourself as a .guru or any other newfangled Internet address, Google wants you to try out its new domain name registration service.The search giant quietly launched Google Domains on Monday as an invite-only beta service. It's being billed as an easy way to set up an address on the Web with simple management tools.Until now, Google has told people looking to register that it "doesn't register or host domain names." It referred them to partner companies including GoDaddy and eNom.Google Domains, though, has features that might make people think twice before going with other registration services. For instance, Google will cover the cost for private registration—that is, keeping your name, address and contact information from the public eye.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Encrypted Web traffic can reveal highly sensitive information

Analyzing encrypted Web traffic can potentially reveal highly sensitive information such as medical conditions and sexual orientation, according to a research paper that forecasts how privacy on the Internet may erode.In a paper titled "I Know Why You Went to the Clinic," researchers show that by observing encrypted Web traffic and identifying patterns, it is possible to know what pages a person has visited on a website, giving clues to their personal life. The paper will be presented July 16 at the Privacy-Enhancing Technology Forum in Amsterdam.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

US intelligence agency wants brain-like algorithms for complex information processing

Getting computers to think like humans has been a scientific goal for years – IBM recently said it found a way to make transistors that could be formed into virtual circuitry that mimics human brain functions. It is technology like that that the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is looking to develop as well. IARPA, the high-risk, high-reward arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, will next month hold a Proposers Day to explain one of its new projects it says could revolutionize machine intelligence by constructing algorithms that utilize the same data representations, transformations, and learning rules as those employed and implemented by the brain.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

A Supreme Court win for Aereo would take the fight out of broadcasters

If Aereo prevails in its Supreme Court case, Fox executive Chase Carey threatened to end over-the-air OTA broadcasts. It's all bark and no bite. Aereo streams television programming over broadband that household users would otherwise receive free with an antenna, but don't because they can't pick up the signal. What has upset the television industry is Aereo's claim that its specialized antenna exempts it from paying broadcasters for their programming.Given a green light by the Court, Aereo will begin to expand to more cities throughout the U.S., and it'll be impossible for the broadcasters to stop them without losing advertising sponsorship of their programming. According to Nielsen, 6% of all U.S. households receive only OTA broadcast television. Advertising sponsors would stop paying broadcasters for advertising if these households were cut off, resulting in a loss of approximately 6% of the broadcasters and their local affiliate stations' revenue.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Hadoop analysis now tackling IoT to improve transit

For the Internet of Things, collecting data is only half the battle, and public transit agencies know that as well as anyone.Operators of bus, train and trolley systems collect a wide range of data types from ticket machines, fare validation devices, GPS (Global Positioning System) and other sources, but typically that data stays in silos, according to Wade Rosado, director of analytics for Urban Insights, a consultancy launched on Monday to help make use of transit data.Urban Insights is using a cloud-based Apache Hadoop system to crunch numbers from transit agencies that want to glean new insights about their operations. The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of transit technology vendor Cubic Transportation Systems, can provide both periodic consulting services, such as producing annual reviews, and ongoing measurements as frequently as every day, Rosado said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE
