The recent release of Ubuntu 14.04 Long Term Support/LTS (Trusty Tahr) proves to us once again that it doesn't matter if you're Oracle, Microsoft, or Canonical: Bringing a fleet of products into new release revision synch is tough.Canonical's twice-a-year Ubuntu releases are boldly trying to cover the bases of cloud, server, desktop, smartphone/tablet, plus management and support and services add-ons specific to each platform.In this release, Cloud and Server get much attention; Desktop not so much. And the Ubuntu smartphone/tablet bits aren't reviewed here as there are no "production" versions in the wild. Cross-CPU family support between x86/x64 and ARM processors appears to be complete and level, although this is difficult to test.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   Ubuntu 14.04: The good, the bad, the Unity Read More   Apple's most important iPhone upgrades over the years Seven years after its initial launch, the iPhone has come a long way in terms of its feature set.

This design decision is intended to allow cybercriminals who still use Zeus variants in their operations to easily switch to Kronos.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   MIT invents T-1000 robot precursor technology, may have doomed us all A new generation of robots will have the ability to become alternately squishy and stiff, thanks to a phase-changing material developed by researchers at MIT. The technology is reminiscent of the liquid-metal T-1000 in the movie Terminator 2, which MIT highlighted in an official announcement. It's unlikely to prove quite so lethal, however, at this point. The material is essentially a springy foam core inside a coating of wax. Rigid at room temperature, the material can be heated by an embedded wire, melting the wax and allowing the foam to deform. In principle, this should allow robotic components to become pliable when necessary, and return to rigidity when cooled.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   Activity tracking goes to the dogs with Whistle (video) Whistle offers accurate tracking and fast charging, but there are durability issues.
