As a teenager in the early 1990s, I never really had friends, so much as close acquaintances. I’d see people at school. We’d laugh, maybe skip class from time to time. But I’d never see them on the weekends or in the evening. No one wanted anything to do with me. I was a spooky kid much as I’m now a spooky adult. It was unfortunate, then, that I had a love of tabletop gaming. Battletech was an obsession. Giant robots doing battle with one another on alien worlds? Tanks on legs! What’s not to like? I bought the wee…

And, of course, students won’t have to use proprietary tablets to benefit. Course Kit is built with the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard so it can interact with learning management systems (LMS), which educators use to deliver materials and monitor coursework. In essence, this…
Everyday it seems like new threats rear their heads exposing the vulnerabilities of enterprise organisations. Whether it’s severe weather, unwelcome intruders, or active shooters, disasters can happen at anytime, in almost any environment. Any enterprise relies on its people to be successful, so protecting them should be any organisation’s number one priority. As technology continues to evolve, there are more options than ever for safety tools. Emergency notification software in particular provides versatile options for organisations looking to reach large numbers of people with critical information. With the ability to send alerts for a variety of events, deliver messages in…
In the early years of software development, you would often design it, build it, and only then think about how to secure it. This was arguably fine in the in the days of monolithic applications and closed networks, when good perimeter-based protection and effective identity and access management would get you a long way towards minimising the risk. In today’s highly connected, API-driven application environments, though, any given software component or service can be invoked and potentially abused in so many different ways. Add to this the increasing pace of change through iterative “DevOps-style” delivery and ever-faster release cycles, and…
It has been five days since a dozen boys were rescued from a flooded cave in Thailand, and five days since Elon Musk has been wandering in a Twitter labyrinth of his own making. The Silicon Valley engineer and billionaire was briefly seen in Thailand last week, hauling a miniature submarine to the mouth of the cave just before an international dive team rescued the boys without it. Since then, he has been arguing with people who accuse him of shoehorning himself into the drama and imagining hypotheticals in which rescuers had not deemed his hastily built submarine unnecessary and impractical. This has, inevitably,…
Facebook, in an effort to further its ongoing development of AI-based chips, has hired one of Google’s lead chip developers – Shahriar Rabii. Previously Senior Director of Engineering at Google, Rabii has taken up the role of Vice President and Head of Silicon at Facebook, following the almost seven-year stint at Google.

The Menlo Park, California-based company is planning to join other technology giants tackling the massive effort to…
