The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Quiz 10 years in tech: The crazy cellphone ideas of 2004 Network World Daily News PM September 12, 2014 How to get $100,000 worth of Google's cloud for free Google is offering $100,000 worth of use of its cloud platform for free, if you're a startup.What's a startup? Google has some pretty specific criteria: The startup must be in an approved accelerator, incubator or VC fund The startup cannot have previously received Google cloud platform credits Must have received $5 million or less in funding so far Must have less than $500,000 in revenue So, that would leave pretty early-stage startups eligible for this sizeable credit.

READ MORE 10 years in tech: The crazy cellphone ideas of 2004 A year is a long time in smartphone technology today, so remember if you can the changes that have taken place over the last decade.In 2004, Apple had only just started working on development of its iPhone and no one outside the company knew about it, Samsung was focused on the South Korean market, and the hottest thing in wireless was the success of the I-mode mobile Internet service in Japan.As I watched Apple's launch of its new iPhones and smartwatch this week, I was reminded of a trip I took exactly a decade ago to the ITU's Telecom Asia expo in Busan, South Korea. As Tokyo correspondent for IDG, I was used to seeing advanced phones in Japan but some of the handsets in South Korea looked positively futuristic.

View Now>> Stanford researchers develop ant-sized radio Engineers at Stanford University have developed a tiny radio that's about as big as an ant and that's cheap and small enough that it could help realize the "Internet of things" -- the world of everyday objects that send and receive data via the Internet.The radio is built on a piece of silicon that measures just a few millimeters on each side. Several tens of them can fit on the top of a U.S. penny and the radio itself is expected to cost only a few pennies to manufacture in mass quantities.Part of the secret to the radio's size is its lack of a battery. Its power requirements are sufficiently frugal that it can harvest the energy it needs from nearby radio fields, such as those from a reader device when it's brought nearby.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE NFL QB turned Biggest Loser contestant also a software startup founder Biggest Loser There I was hunkering down to watch the Steelers-Ravens game last night, when I flipped over to The Biggest Loser weight-loss contest show during a commercial.  The first contestant I see in what turns out to be a collection of former top-notch athletes is a 6-foot 6-inch 366-pound guy named Scott Mitchell, described as a former NFL quarterback. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE VMware and Cisco patch vulnerabilities in data-center gear and software VMware and Cisco Systems released security fixes this week for serious vulnerabilities in networking virtualization and server software typically used in data centers.Cisco patched a persistent denial-of-service vulnerability that could prevent the out-of-band management of Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) E-Series Blade servers that are deployed in Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2).The vulnerability is located in the SSH (Secure Shell) service of the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC), a specialized micro-controller embedded in server motherboards that allows systems administrators to monitor and manage servers from outside their OS.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE CIO of Defense Department Agency Cautions Against Rush to Cloud The Defense Information Systems Agency's David Bennett calls the cloud 'viable' for certain government operations, but he warns that some applications and data must remain within the secure agency network.

The benefits are faster time-to-market, increased quality and improved responsiveness. However, doing CD properly hinges on the maturity of your testing.A new version of any application should be rigorously tested to ensure it meets all desired system qualities. It is important that all relevant aspects -- whether functionality, security, performance or compliance -- are verified by the application delivery pipeline. If in doubt, test and test again.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Cisco right-sizes UCS servers Company recasts line for large- and small-scale requirements READ MORE WHITE PAPER: Fortinet Security Concerns in the C-Suite Next-generation firewall technology (NGFW) addresses the most prevalent security issues.
