	This 60-year-old photo says a lot about diversity in technology As you're no doubt aware, the lack of diversity in the technology industry has been quite the hot topic over the last week or so. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella thoughtlessly telling female workers to trust that Karma would bring them the raises they deserve set off a firestorm of criticism and online discussion. The controversy could ultimately be a good thing if it leads to real changes in women's opportunities and treatment in the workforce.

After all, just 24% of the U.S. IT workforce is female, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, quite a fall from its high point of 36% in 1991, according to the National Center for Women & Information Technology.

Read More TCP Connected Lighting: Almost the future of "smart" lighting "Smart" lighting is, undoubtedly, the way of the future. It's based on the idea that lighting should be optimized for power use and effectiveness as well as being customizable for aesthetic purposes and it integrates what is a key environmental service into the Internet of Things. At its most sophisticated, this level of control extends down to individual lighting fixtures and the entire system should be not only command-driven but also responsive, tracking occupants and the environment and adjusting accordingly.I've looked at a couple of these systems (for example, see my recent post The Lumen, a smart LED bulb that's more of a novelty and it's follow-up, Turning the Tabü LED bulb into an open system and bringing it into the IoT) and today I have another lighting system that I've been testing for a few weeks. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Flight attendants try to reinstate FAA's ban on mobile devices during takeoff Despite their best efforts, it looks like flight attendants will have to deal with the fact that we're going to use our phones during takeoff and landing.
