The US Navy said it is buying two Lockheed Martin exoskeletons to test out for industrial work on ships. Lockheed says its FORTIS exoskeleton "transfers loads through the exoskeleton to the ground in standing or kneeling positions and allows operators to use heavy tools as if they were weightless. An advanced ergonomic design moves naturally with the body and adapts to different body types and heights. Using the [system], operators can effortlessly hold objects up to 36 pounds, increasing productivity by reducing muscle fatigue and avoiding muscle injury."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More In his own words: Best quotes of Steve Ballmer Steve Ballmer's decision to step down from Microsoft's board draws to a close a 34 year-long career that took him from business manager to CEO.During that time, he's spoken hundreds of times at events and in interviews. Here are some of his most memorable quotes.On Apple, the iPod and iPhone"We've had DRM (digital rights management) in Windows for years. The most common format of music on an iPod is stolen,"—in an interview with Cnet in 2004."No, I do not [have an iPod]. Nor do my children. My children—in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod,"—to Fortune in 2006.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Samsung and Barnes & Noble debut Galaxy Tab 4 Nook Samsung and Barnes & Noble have released a custom Nook tablet that's on sale now for $179.

One wants applications and new features to roll out – and swiftly – and the other is often more concerned with keeping systems and data snug. At some organizations, as they embrace more agile development and continuous integration/delivery methods, the tension runs even higher.MORE ON NETWORK WORLD: Free security tools you should try In continuous integration and deployment environments, teams integrate their development work continuously. Automated tests help to identify errors as work is completed, and these automated tests often include code analysts and functional testing – all occurring on a deployment pipeline.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More How can the Internet have too many routes and not enough addresses? The depletion of Internet addresses would seem to spell relief for aged routers that are struggling to deal with the Internet's growth, but the complicated interplay between those trends might cause even more problems.Last Wednesday, some older routers and switches stumbled when the Internet's table of routes surpassed 512,000 entries, the maximum they could hold in a special form of memory called TCAM (Ternary Content Addressable Memory). The event drew widespread attention, though it was actually the third time in this young century that the Internet had broken through such a threshold. The number of routes exceeded 128,000 around 2003 and 256,000 in 2008, each time causing problems for some outmoded gear.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Linux Foundation to offer new certification for IT workers With an eye toward deepening the global Linux talent pool, the Linux Foundation today announced that it will offer two new certifications for engineers and administrators.The Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator, or LFCS, and the Linux Foundation Certified Engineer, or LFCE certificates will be granted to applicants who pass an automated online exam.

However, the Mountain View, Calif.-based start-up, which has research and development roots in Israel and has received $14.5 million in venture-capital funding, does harbor ambitions to break into the multi-billion dollar anti-virus market to compete with the kind of full-featured endpoint protection suites offered today by the major vendors such as Symantec and McAfee. + ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD Start-up fights attacks on SDN, virtual-machine networks +To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More The best educational software for students We give you 10 great productivity programs that are perfect for students.
