Oracle slaps Oregon with a lawsuit over troubled Obamacare website

Oracle has sued Oregon for breach of contract, seeking more than US$20 million in fees the state is withholding for its work on Cover Oregon, a troubled insurance exchange website developed as part of President Barack Obama's health care policy overhaul.The move is a preemptive strike by Oracle against Oregon, whose governor, John Kitzhaber, has advocated suing Oracle.Oracle had already claimed Oregon officials were conducting a "smear campaign" meant to hide their own shortcomings. The vendor fleshed out that allegation at length in its complaint, which was filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Intel to push Broadwell into fanless tablets thinner than iPad

Laptops and tablets should get longer battery life and better performance with Intel's fifth-generation Core chip family, code-named Broadwell, due to go into devices by the end of the year.Intel on Monday broke months of silence surrounding Broadwell, which will succeed Haswell, the code name for the popular fourth-generation Core i3, i5 and i7 processors.Tablets and tablet-PC hybrids based on the first Broadwell chip, called Core M, will be available by the end of the year. Mainstream laptops and desktops with Broadwell chips will be available starting early next year.For those who are waiting to upgrade PCs, Broadwell—which had been delayed—could be worth the wait.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

The Linux Desktop-a-week Review: KDE Plasma

So far in my "Deaktop-A-Week" adventure, I have been using some pretty lightweight Linux Desktop Environments. Enlightenment, Awesome and MATE all have a deserved reputation for being peppy and easy on your PC's resources.That all changes today.Well, technically it all changed about six and a half days ago when I installed KDE 4.13. But "that all changes today" sounds far more awesome than "that all changed roughly six and a half days or so ago."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Testing service rolls out vast federated identity management system using Oracle

The Educational Testing Service, a non-profit organization that provides academic assessment tests, says it has gained efficiencies by centralizing its identity and access management (IAM) for on-premises, cloud and hosted applications. But it had to cope with a few bumps in the road along the way, especially in extending IAM into the cloud.ETS deployed Oracle Identity Management for its thousands of employees in order to be able to provision and de-provision applications quickly for single sign-on convenience that's a boon to both end users and the IT department staff. One advantage was "we went from days to minutes" when it came to granting access to applications, says Jim Moran, chief information security officer (CISO).To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE
