by karlcow

A massive increase in international co-operation and significant investment in awareness-building and training are essential if the concept of an Internet of Things (IoT) is to be turned into a meaningful reality, says a European Union-funded project in its final report, “RFID and the Inclusive Model for the Internet of Things.”

Digital Photographers, Welcome Back to 1999 | PixSylated | Digital Photography, Canon Flash, Shooting Tethered

by mozkart
Why the value of still images is collapsing It’s that old supply-and-demand thing. The supply of digital images is way, way up. At the same time, advertising in magazines and newspapers is sinking. If you want to continue earning a living at something you already do, it’s helpful if your trade is difficult to do and expensive to get started. Photography during the film-era was this way. Every time I pushed the shutter-button a couple of bucks flew out the window. Now the cost of getting into the pro photography game is virtually nothing (aside from the cost of the camera, the computer, the software, the training… still a relatively low investment for what you’re able to accomplish). I’m grateful that HDSLR cinematography is expensive and problematic right now. The Trib Is Dead. Long Live The Trib. For several generations, ads in magazines and newspapers were the leading consumer of commercial stills. Sorry Charlie, those days are gone. Today advertisers are increasingly moving their efforts over to web-based campaigns. It’s not personal. It’s demographics. OK. So that means that it is personal. The web, with it’s ability to provide instantaneous feedback to advertisers enables those spending the ad bucks to target their message exactly where it needs to be within minutes. For an ad placed in the wrong magazine, the response time is measured in weeks or months. Print advertising is plummeting (stats here). It’s not the economy, stupid. It’s the medium. Check out MagazineDeathPool if you’re not already a regular reader. Now is not be the time to launch a career as a magazine shooter.

The Prepaid Economy Blog: Some observed behaviour patterns in rural BoP households

by karlcow

people rarely held on to money in the form of cash for any length of time, for the most part due to lack of access to banks and/or the high cost of maintaining an account proportionate to their incomes. Cash was rapidly converted to goods based on priorities and these 'goods' acted as insurance (silver), savings (buying building materials on a piecemeal basis as cashflow allowed until the house could be built), a cushion aka insurance (selling a pig for an emergency or eaten for food) and finally investment (milk bearing cow, young piglets to rear to maturity, etc).

Gallery - Where's the remotest place on Earth? - Image 5 - New Scientist

by karlcow

Unlike roads, which can evolve out of any old dirt track, railways require skilled labour and considerable investment. As a result, they are confined mainly to the richer nations of Europe, the US, Australia and Japan.

Railway networks in India, Argentina and parts of Africa give clues to their colonial heritage.

TV4IT : Développement : pourquoi le multicoeur change les règles du jeux

by pac-recrutement

A l'heure où la course au nombre de coeurs a succédé à la course aux hertz, une question s'impose : comment le logiciel peut-il suivre et tirer parti de cette puissance ? Autrement dit : comment les développeurs peuvent-ils peu à peu appréhender les techniques de la programmation parallèle ? En ont-ils les moyens et... la volonté ? Débat et réponses avec Bruno Boucard, architecte au sein de la SGIB (Société Générale Corporate and Investment Banking) et Eric Vernié, en charge des relations techniques avec les développeurs au sein de Microsoft.

actualité boursière, marché financier, économie française : Challenges

by jallatte

Selon le bureau d'études Aurel reprenant les propos du journal chinois "South China Morning Post", le fonds souverain "China Investment Corp" s'intéresserait aux groupes de luxe afin d'y prendre une participation pouvant aller jusqu'à 10% du capital. Les groupes LVMH, PPR et Richemont sont notamment cités.

Une telle éventualité sera regardée avec attention par les actionnaires majoritaires de ces groupes. D'un coté, ils seront sans doute réticents de voir un unique actionnaire détenir une part significative de leur capital avec l'incertitude sur la durée de la détention des actio ns et d'un autre coté, au regard du poids grandissant des consommateurs chinois dans leurs chiffre d'affaires respectifs, il peut s'agir d'une occasion pour tisser des relations étroites avec les autorités chinoises et saisir des opportunités de développement, explique le broker.

VatorNews - Closing the Engagement Gap

by dimelo
A few weeks ago, I discussed the 2008 Tribalization of Business Study, sponsored by Beeline Labs, Deloitte, and the Society for New Communications Research, to discuss the gap between the importance many enterprises attribute to the development of communities and the accompanying investment in that engagement strategy, whether focused on internal stakeholders, or externally on customers. I noted that the findings of the Tribalization study point to a Community Gap.
