Map needs a new software – Free Press

by Frank Dörfelt
published on 30/12/2015

Zwickau. Internet users who are dependent with the purchase of the new Microsoft operating system Windows 10 on the integrated browser “Edge” have the geographic information system of the city of Zwickau, which also contains the interactive map, still bad cards. Even five months after its launch, it is the seller CAIGOS not succeeded in making software and browser compatible. Since August is to be read on the home page, that “Edge” and “Zwickau GIS” is not tolerated and thus the map along with all of its functions at least over these browsers for users is not available.

Despite repeated contrary information was the company that was obliged as a service provider by the data processing of the town of Zwickau, hitherto not solve the problem. According to information from the city administration completion dates have been announced repeatedly, has been complied with so far not one of them. In mid-December then finally moved CAIGOS with the truth out: It must be installed a completely new software version. So far, the resident of the Saarland Kirkel company had continued to state that the previous version can continue to be used with some modifications.

Since both the installation and the required tests are very complex, the data processing can present a concrete date call for commissioning. Only one thing can there be said with certainty: The new version is not ready before mid-January. From software vendors CAIGOS there was a corresponding request, no answer.

The Department of Data Processing of the City Council indicates that the interactive map of Zwickau and Windows 10 with the known Internet Explorer and other browsers like Firefox or Opera start without any problems and can be exploited with all its functions. The two latter can be downloaded for free on the Internet and are fully ready for use after a few minutes.

The Internet Explorer is still on Windows 10 preinstalled. However, the Start menu is hiding something, and it must be sought only under the various partly filled with Apps and finally made ready to go.

Potsdam Worldwide, in 2015, according to the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) been reported in Potsdam fewer software vulnerabilities compared to last year. The number of serious gaps is, however, the analysis reveals that increased from almost 1,800 to over 2,000.

Attention should also continue to offer. To eliminate vulnerabilities, all possibilities should always be used to maintain software, browser and operating system up to date, HPI Director Meinel said Christoph. Overall, the researchers found in this year 5350 vulnerabilities in 2014 there were still around 7,200. ‘/ P>

hacker attacks on government institutions

  • Criminals steal 24,000 documents with data from the US Department of Defense. According to official US data the hackers have penetrated on behalf of a foreign intelligence service in computer of a contractor of the Pentagon.

  • It is known that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has become the victim of a cyber attack. According to media reports, there was an attack on the system in which highly confidential information about the financial situation of different countries has been saved.

  • Federal Police and Customs in Germany fall victim to a hacker attack. The group “No Name Crew” has by its own account by a computer of the Federal Police Stolen data of Customs Investigation and posted on the Internet.

  • Hackers paralyze the website of the US Central Intelligence Agency for several hours. Even the United Nations, a Mexican mining association and the US state of Alabama websites are attacked.

  • Several websites of NATO will spend hours paralyzed by hacker attacks. The “integrity of the data systems of NATO” was not affected, explains the organization.

  • Hackers gained access to Twitter and the YouTube account of the US Central Command headquarters in Tampa Centcom with (Florida). Centcom coordinates the air strikes against the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria.

  • The personnel agency of the US Government informed claims to about four million Americans about a possible theft of sensitive data. Hackers are behind the massive cyberattack media said suspects from China.

The Institute gathers according to own data in a database all the essential information about software vulnerabilities and problems. On a website, the HPI offers users to have their own browser check for vulnerabilities via self-diagnosis for free.

In the same year Goerke and Proppe brought with Philippe Take a third managing director on board, who has since been responsible for the areas of Marketing and Sales. Gpredictive currently employs 20 people.

Digital magnetism of file management

The first document management software (DMS) by Jens Büscher was not exactly a success. Banks were rebuffed the founders, funding were few and far between. This idea in Büscher’s literally was neat. With DocuPortal he wanted to digitize the office work in enterprises and so avoid the mountains of documents and emails

Jens Büscher knew what he was doing. He had spent seven years working in the civil service and be annoyed decided by paper chaos, establishing , That was 2003. Turbulent times for IT products. Despite the rebuffs Buescher held fast to his purpose – and established seven years later his second DMS Enterprise: amagno. Bills, notes and other documents are analyzed here according to pre-established rules and automatically pulled by “digital magnets” to the right places, for instance based on customer numbers or technical terms.

“Often employees do not load documents into the correct folders from,” said Buescher. Therefore, be magnet system to replace chaotic network drives. Overall, according to Buescher, use the B2B software currently 100 companies, mainly from the middle class. Because of but not be in this country very innovation happy, one wants to expand in 2016 in the English-speaking world.

Scouting in the data jungle

The data’re all out there somewhere. We know that. But who is to sort all this confusing heap? Companies can afford themselves, even though they know that they must do it only rarely. Anyone who has the information has the power. This is now a household word on all platforms and panels that deal with digitization. This of course is a wonderful starting point for young companies who have made it their mission to provide business data relevant to tidy so pretty provided that they are navigable, understandable and usable.

About Metrics is one of the digital Auskennern who take exactly this task for other companies and earn good money. In his own words that sounds like this: “Uber Metrics uses a proprietary, context-specific search technology to analyze high-volume data streams from online and offline media, such as news, blogs and social networks. The technology is based on algorithms that ensure, be overlooked that there is no decisive INFORMATIO. “This can be as a customer now just believe me, or to recognize the success of the collaboration with the startup, because improve their financial results.

Open source Annual Review 2015: Free software makes much better, but … – Golem.de




http://www.golem.de/news/open-source-jahresrueckblick-2015-freie-software-macht-vieles-besser-aber-nicht-alles-1512-118090.html Published: 12/28/2015 12:01




For the benefit of developers and customers have former this year Open-source opponents like Microsoft or Apple strongly set on open source code. Some of the open mobile operating systems stumble against it, and even Android manufacturers complain problems in the development.

Businesses who strictly rejected a few years ago open source software, or avoided, in 2015 have the idea of ​​free availability of the source code in the sense their developer communities and customers significantly expanded. That the use of open source code, however, is not a guaranteed success, shows the mobile sector, where some alternative operating systems had problems in 2015 or from its niche existence simply did not come out.

As proved advantageous, however, the already announced the end of 2014. Disclosure of the .NET Framework by Microsoft. Had the former company CEO Steve Ballmer Open Source still referred to a little more than ten years as a cancer, today seem to have no more fear of contact both the team and the current chief Satya Nadella.

At the beginning of 2015 many already open project such as the compiler Roslyn Moved to GitHub, and .Net has been opened continuously during the year, such as by providing the runtime environment of .Net. Many of these techniques has integrated into this year’s release of Visual Studio 2015, such as the JIT compiler Ryujit or the in-house build tool MS Build Microsoft. The presented until the spring Editor Visual Studio code is also freely available since November.

In the course of this development, and external .NET developers have decided to disclose their applications. It should be emphasized especially the speech synthesis software that Intel has developed for Stephen Hawking. They can now be used as in other diseases of the motor nervous system expanded by other and.

Windows server with Unix concepts

The fact that Microsoft’s corporate philosophy has clearly changed, also shows the announced in the summer schedule, SSH for Windows and PowerShell provide for and cooperate with OpenSSH. After two failed attempts the appropriate team was able to convince the management this year of working on it. Microsoft is sponsoring for the OpenBSD Foundation and the first code of the art is also now available.

In addition, the developers of Microsoft working on the implementation of other techniques for Windows, which are originally developed for UNIX-like systems or be used there for a long time. So to support the Windows Server container and Docker. With the so-called Nano servers, there is also a version of Windows Server, which is reduced to the bare minimum to run a single application, which was always been no problem with Linux servers.

Apple prides itself on open source

Unlike Microsoft, which was described years ago still one of the largest open source opponents, Apple had always an ambivalent relationship to open source software. So although the company maintains with its Unix-based, Webkit or contributing to LLVM comparatively much open software, is there otherwise but rather closed, which is especially true for iOS.

therefore has

All the more surprising announcement to provide the programming Swift freely available. Swift to replace Objective-C as a language for applications on Apple systems in the long term. When disclosing Swift early December, the open source community Apples discovered something excessive pride in his efforts.

On a web page, Apple praised itself as the first company in the “open source play a key role in the software strategy” Games. Due to the sometimes harsh criticism on this statement Apple eventually changed the text and wrote instead that open source software continues to be the “Heart” the platforms of Apple.

Open Source for Video, Games and Graphics

In addition to opening its own techniques to meet customer needs and to bind even more developers to their own company, However, open source software has the potential to provide for cross-sectoral co-operation and to be the community concept justice. The fact that companies benefiting all can work on a common goal, showing, for example at the Alliance for Open Media (Aomedia).

The consortium Aomedia founded this year combines the streaming provider Amazon and Netflix with Microsoft and Intel, as well as Mozilla, Google and Cisco. The latter develop novel video codecs with Daala, VP10 and Thor. They should offer a license-free open-source alternative to common formats, especially HEVC H.265 alias. The companies have joined forces in the Aomedia to unify these works and so continue to provide a general video standard available, which could possibly reach the same meaning as the audio codec Opus.

In addition to the commitment to the values ​​of open source software and a standardization finds that companies with the merger probably also financial interests. Thus, the license fees for the currently widespread H.264 are indeed considered too high, but they are nevertheless capped. For H.265 it is expected that the costs for use continue to rise, especially since the same two competing consortia around the licensing of video codecs.

Steam Machines finally available

A similar motivation, namely to be independent from other companies and be able to set the agenda themselves, is Valve probably two years ago have prompted with steamos to develop its own operating system, which is designed primarily for games. With the corresponding computers, the so-called Steam Machines, therefore a competition could arise to classic consoles.

Since November, the first Steam Machines commercially and yet is not their success in sight. In our test device of Zotac could not really convince. This also applies to the created by Valve Gamepad, the Steam Controller. He demands quite a bit of getting used to. Moreover, the controller without Steam on a Linux system is difficult to use because the necessary driver support is still lacking. But this could change in the coming year.

Free video drivers from the manufacturer

Two longer prepared open source projects that can show the first significant results this year, are free graphics drivers for the Raspberry Pi and the completely new Linux driver Amdgpu for current models of AMD’s Radeon cards. The driver for Raspberry Pi arises since summer of 2014 commissioned by chipmaker Broadcom and is integrated into Linux 4.4, which is already available as a preview release and probably appears stable shortly after the turn of the year.

A little less time to develop an initial version needed the programmers for the announced in autumn 2014 driver Amdgpu. This will in future provide a basis for the freest possible flow graphics stack on Linux for Radeon cards, but can also reuse a proprietary part of the Catalyst driver. Although these two drivers in the official Linux kernel are available, fully operational, they are not, there still lacks some features. These are likely to be implemented in the coming year.

problems and restarts in the mobile industry

The free licensing of the mobile operating system Android is widely regarded as a success concept, since many manufacturers are bringing so comparatively quickly devices on the market and can also carry out your own adjustments, to stand out from the competition. This year many Android developers, however, have noted critically that this approach can also lead to serious problems in part.

To set the Sony employees Tim Bird on LinuxCon Japan a survey before, seen from that many equipment manufacturers shy away from cooperation with the kernel community. This, in turn, that in some cases several million lines of code per device must be maintained by the company itself, which leads to an expensive overhead.

Much worse is to this situation, however, that a rapid response of manufacturers is thus very difficult to dangerous vulnerabilities as Stagefright. On the Linux Plumbers Conference, participants discussed possible solutions to this problem. Especially a lot but have not yet caused these discussions.

Fast Failed mobile system with Linux

Alternative mobile operating systems based on Linux this year were also not really relevant. Particularly hard hit by Mozilla Firefox OS. Thus, the work to bring the system on smartphones, was completely set. Mozilla has also announced plans to realign Firefox OS in the embedded area.

It is not yet completely set on developing Jolla Sailfish OS. But the future of the project is plentiful uncertain, as the company has acute financial difficulties. Probably for this reason the delivery of the Jolla tablets always had to be moved, and the unit still has not reached its buyers. The situation is so bad that the company even on Facebook called to his community, to help with the move to new offices for Jolla. Although financing Jolla is secured for the moment, however, this only applies to the licensing business.

Next potter or start over

Still unimpressed by such developments shows Canonical, which continues to work on Ubuntu Touch. After nearly two years with prototypes can now be at least buy smartphones preloaded with Ubuntu. However, the hardware facilities of the BQ Aquaris E4.5 could not convince it. Even the better hardware of Meizu MX4 showed some weaknesses in the system.

To the KDE community sales, many devices and Finance must however not really care and has therefore a variant of its plasma surface for smartphones created. The team pursues explicitly aims to create could be accepted by the Community system, which – as far as it goes up – open source and open to all for contributions. KDE This raises clear against the controlled company development models of other systems.

Whether the KDE developers will really have success with their smartphone project is probably already evident from the developments in the coming year. Likewise, the 2016 crucial for the survival of Jolla. Regardless of this rather uncertain future Android will continue to grow, and the producers will coordinate their work better. Also of significant open source trend at Microsoft likely to persist or even be strengthened even more. (sg)

http://www.golem.de/news/valve-software-steam-hat-probleme-mit-mails-und-der- Search-1512-118244.html Published: 12/29/2015 16:42




After a serious problem its users database at Christmas time running Steam still around: particular problems when sending e-mails are to blame, that apparently many users can not access their games library

On the online platform Steam, there are apparently back problems..

For more problems there will be on Steam in the search. Whether the current difficulties related to the interference of the Christmas period, which should have been triggered by an internal caching error is unclear. Valve has so far not commented on the current difficulties.

Samsung executives: bad software is to blame for declining sales – AreaMobile

In an interview with representatives of the press former Samsung executives give reasons for declining market share and the future failure of the company in the smartphone business: Samsung simply lack the know-how for developing . good software

Samsung Logo | (c) Reuters / Kom Hong-Ji

For a long time Samsung undisputed smartphone market leader in Germany and worldwide. These are the Koreans still, but slowly decreases the market share. While mostly of late transition is made to high-quality housing materials such as glass or metal responsible see former Samsung executives the problem to another location. As Reuters reports, Samsung is missing in their opinion on software know-how.

With the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge Samsung has adopted the rumored problem with the hardware this year and in order workmanship and design significantly improved. In addition, Samsung is due to the high market share among Android smartphone a driving force when it comes to the spread of new technologies such as fingerprint sensor, Qi-batch, Pulse Monitors or NFC. . When the software sees, however, is different

“Samsung’s senior management should not be considered inherently capable software you get the hardware out -. It is a fact, that they hammer out the hardware better than anyone else. But software is something completely different. ” – Anonymous Samsung executives

The problem is the software

Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface has long been at Android users in the criticism: Too many changes to the Android interface and sluggish performance. In addition, it is packed full of features, of which few users really make use and loaded with an excessive amount of bloatware. Exemplary of the failure in software ChatOn and the video app called Milk. Apart from the users, on their Samsung smartphone ChatOn was preinstalled, should the messenger found few followers and was closed without a stir in March. The run of high-profile US executives from the USA video app Milk has survived one year and was abandoned in November. Samsung should listen more to the users and their criticism, they say.

The question remains whether better software sufficient to bring Samsung back on track. After all, the entire industry is suffering from a certain saturation of the market and manufacturers are trying to stand out from the crowd. According to the Business Professor of the Korean Institute of Science and Technology, Chang Sea-jin, Samsung is indeed on the right path and his error is aware. The probability is, however great that the steps are too small and take place too late.

At the Congress of the Chaos Computer Club in Hamburg has a hacker demonstrated. such as the software controlling a diesel engine during operation slows the nitrogen oxide reduction. Felix Domke said on Sunday at the Chaos Communication Congress, he has decompiled the code of the software for it after the announcement of the exhaust scandal at Volkswagen in his own car.

Then he studied the instructions for delivering a solution that is designed to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides. In the test, the engine show good results in reduction of pollutant. With longer travel time and higher speeds but the delivery of the solution with the brand name AdBlue will almost reduced to zero.

Samsung: “The top management has no idea of ​​software” – Mobilegeeks

Smartphone manufacturers number 1 is still Samsung. Then you could now possibly rest, but as with many other companies also has Samsung understood that one always has to evolve in order to remain competitive. The hardware makes so much progress that the normal users of smartphones almost as well to make ends meet also comes with a Chinese 200 Euro smartphone as it comes with a 700 Euro smartphone from Samsung would be the case.

Therefore applies it differently themselves from their competitors and therefore it is necessary to provide services and software that can not be produced by the other. Dumb it’s just that Samsung indeed from smartphones to televisions to semiconductors and even ships just about everything can be build in great quality, which is conceivable to hardware, one but often times neatly beside it when it comes to software.

Examples? Take the video service Milk or even the messenger ChatON, with which one of his time WhatsApp and Co which wanted to oppose. Both services Samsung has now reinstated and for a report from Reuters , in which – even anonymously – both former and current employees have to say, one has it identified the person responsible at the top of peaks management.

Samsung’s upper management just inherently does not understand software. They get hardware – in fact, They get hardware better than anyone else. But software is a completely Call different ballgame. former Samsung employees

While you can not fool the Koreans nothing when it comes to hardware, is understood within the company, according to sources cited simply not how software works. It begins thus, work that often different teams within Samsung’s simultaneously but independently on the same project. So should that time, the hands-free app developed for the Galaxy S4 and a former manager told Reuters that he had only learned from outside that even a competing team was also in the company, which was entrusted with exactly the same task.

The crux of Samsung’s software efforts, it is (or at least it was) that one has indeed recognized early the importance of exclusive software features for the hardware sales, you have this but often too short-sighted , It was to have a specific feature mandatory for the next hardware launch at the start in order to boost its sales. So you had more short-term profit in mind and not in the long run to establish a platform. ChatON was such an example, with the Galaxy S devices should be pushed years ago.
