Barnes & Noble’s Nook 1.3 software update makes the built-in Wi-Fi more usable: The company has finally enabled its promised “Read in Store” option, which connects a Nook automatically to Wi-Fi networks in Barnes & Noble locations, and allows owners to read an ebook in the store at no cost for up to an hour per day. (You can’t choose among all ebooks, but some smaller set that’s been made available from “more than 200 publishers” including all the major ones.) The feature is still in beta.

Der Spiegel reports the German commissioner for data protection says Google is gathering inappropriate information about Wi-Fi networks: The commissioner may have a technical misunderstanding of what’s going on here, which would be a shame.

Frontier Airlines will equip 32 Embraers by year’s end: These are the smallest planes I’m aware of that are getting Aircell’s Gogo Inflight Internet service. Frontier flies E170 and E190 aircraft, which are rated to hold 70-80 and 94-114 passengers, respectively, based on class configurations

The network in Saskatchewan isn’t exhaustive: A government-run free Wi-Fi network across parts of three Saskatchewan cities that cost C$1.3 to launch and C$340,000/yr to operate is patchy and inconsistent, according to the Star Phoenix, a local paper. Province officials are generally happy with the performance, which they describe as being useful for “light occasional use.” The paper drove around to see how well it worked across Saskatoon, and found dead zones, places where the network came and went, and too weak a signal indoors.

My classmates and colleagues and I have a particular way of speaking to each other when we discuss film and filmmaking, and after three years of film school the language we share is fairly rich and fairly idiosyncratic.  One of the expressions we like to use is “from soup to nuts,” which means from beginning to end (back in the early 19 somethin-or-others, a meal at a restaurant started with soup and ended with nuts). How long is the movie, from soup to nuts?

AT&T’s quarterly update on Wi-Fi sessions fails to mention that most of its locations have free or nearly-free service now: AT&T has very nicely released statistics on the use of its “20,000+” hotspots for some time. It’s handy for those of us who write about the business to get some concrete numbers

SandForce made news last week, but for some not so great reasons . It turns out that the production firmware on SF-1200 drives drops random small file write performance by a decent amount on drives presently shipping. Those impacted include Corsair and OWC

As you may have noticed, we released vWorkspace 7.1 a couple of days ago. Even though vWorkspace 7.1 by its name might just sound like a “point release” it most certainly is not. These are some of the most exiting new features in vWorkspace 7.1: WAN Acceleration (EOP Xtream) This patent-pending technology accelerates RDP and EOP traffic on any WAN, providing an improved user experience by providing faster RDP screen responses and improved performance of all EOP features

Engaging every student in computer science is a goal we all share. We label it diversity and know it is critical to a balanced industry and a competitive country. We’ve all struggled with encouraging students to try our courses through elaborate promotions, active recruitment, and stealth strategies of one kind or another

===================================================================== Preamble: The point of this series, and the spirit in which it is written, is to take a holistic approach at the issues facing our customers, discuss the complexities with regard to memory management and explain why we’re taking the approach we are with Hyper-V Dynamic Memory. This isn’t meant to criticize anyone or technology, rather to have an open and transparent discussion about the problem space. ===================================================================== In my last blog, we discussed Page Sharing in depth

Learn Maya Animation – Bouncing Ball – Part 3 By Geoff Beatty The saga continues… In the first two installments of this tutorial, you learned how to create a pretty good, albeit generic, bouncing ball in Maya.  The first part dealt with setting basic keyframes for position and rotation.  The second part dealt with using the graph editor to shape those keyframes into a serviceable ball.

How many times have you heard a teacher say something like “I’m here to educate them not to entertain them.” Sometimes it almost seems as though they regard education as bad tasting medicine that students need to take whether they like it or not. Other times is it is a reaction to students complaining about being bored and perhaps someone suggesting that the teacher “do something” to make it more interesting. Dealing with students who have grown up in a world where they expect constant amusement and entertainment can be frustrating

Corporate roaming service provider iPass has added Aircell’s Gogo Inflight Internet to its premium services: iPass provides access around the world to hotspots, hotel and other Ethernet, and dial-up service to 3,500 corporations, but airspace has evaded it until now. The deal between iPass and Aircell lets iPass resell Gogo service at retail pricing, but provide it on a single bill with the same account login. This may seem like a small win, but it’s another step towards ready mass adoption of inflight Internet service by regular business travelers
