  3. &lt;br /&gt;
  4. &lt;br /&gt;
  5. &lt;h2 style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #19232d; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  6. Hundreds of Linux machines backdoored, as the hacker’s botnet is still operational&lt;/h2&gt;
  7. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  8. In our previous article, we had reported how the Linux Mint website was hacked that tricked users into downloading a fake Linux Mint ISO with a backdoor.&lt;/div&gt;
  9. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  10. Well now, in an encrypted chat on Sunday, the person responsible for the hack, who goes by the name “Peace,” told&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-hundreds-were-tricked-into-installing-linux-mint-backdoor/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #487be4; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ZDNet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that a “few hundred” Linux Mint installs were under their control, which turns out to be a substantial portion of the thousand-plus downloads during the day.&lt;/div&gt;
  11. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  12. Peace also went on to state that a complete copy of the site’s forum was stolen by him twice: the first one on January 28, and the second one which was the most recent on February 18, just two days before the hack was established.&lt;/div&gt;
  13. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  14. The hack affected not only the forum usernames, but also passwords (encrypted), email addresses, birthdates, profile pictures, any information in the signature and any information posted on forums, including private messages and private topics. The hacker claims to have cracked some of the passwords already with many more to be cracked in the pipeline. (It’s assumed that the site used PHPass to hash the passwords, which can be cracked.)&lt;/div&gt;
  15. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  16. Clement Lefebvre, leader of the Linux Mint project confirmed on Sunday that the forum had been breached. He said “It was confirmed that the forums database was compromised during the attack led against us yesterday and that the attackers acquired a copy of it. If you have an account on forums.linuxmint.com, please change your password on all sensitive websites as soon as possible.”&lt;/div&gt;
  17. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  18. In fact, the hacker had put the forum database (Linuxmint.com shell, php mailer, and full forum dump) on a dark web marketplace for sale for a meagre amount of $85 (about 0.197 bitcoin).&lt;/div&gt;
  19. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  20. Confirming that the listing was theirs, Peace said jokingly, “Well, I need $85.”&lt;/div&gt;
  21. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  22. On Sunday, it was announced that about 71,000 accounts (which is less than half of all accounts included in the database) were loaded into breach notification site HaveIBeenPwned. If you think you may have been affected by the breach, you can search its database for your email address.&lt;/div&gt;
  23. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  24. While Peace said that they lived in Europe and had no association to hacking groups, he refused to provide information such as their name, age, or gender.&lt;/div&gt;
  25. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  26. In January, Peace was “just poking around” the site when they discovered a vulnerability that allowed them to access it without any authorization. (The hacker also mentioned that they had credentials to log in to the site’s admin panel as Lefebvre, however, was hesitant to describe how it turned out to be useful again.) The hacker then on Saturday swapped one of the 64-bit Linux distribution images (ISO) with one that was modified by adding a backdoor, and afterwards made a decision to “replace all mirrors” for every downloadable version of Linux on the site with a modified version of their own.&lt;/div&gt;
  27. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  28. The hacker said that as the code is open-source, the backdoored version is not that hard as one would think. It just took them just a few hours to repack a Linux version that contained the backdoor.&lt;/div&gt;
  29. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  30. The files were then uploaded to a file server situated in Bulgaria by the hacker, which took the longest “because of slow bandwidth.”&lt;/div&gt;
  31. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  32. The best way to get users to download the backdoored version on the website is by changing the checksum (used to authenticate the reliability of a file) on the website with the checksum of the backdoored version.&lt;/div&gt;
  33. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  34. The hacker said, “Who the f**k checks those anyway?”&lt;/div&gt;
  35. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  36. Known to work alone, the hacker in the past has provided private exploit services for known susceptibilities services on private marketplace sites that they are connected to.&lt;/div&gt;
  37. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: &#39;Roboto Condensed&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31.569px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  38. The first hacking episode began in late January, but increased when they “started spreading the backdoored images early morning [Saturday],” the hacker said.&lt;/div&gt;

It is a popular blogging system and includes features like threaded comments, galleries, revision histories, trash, custom post types, thousands of themes, widgets and plug-ins. This article describes the setting up of a web server for WordPress on Raspberry Pi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Apache web server installation&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apache, a web server application notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web, is used to serve web pages. Follow the procedure given below to install it on Raspberry Pi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Install apache2 package by executing the following command (also see Fig. 1):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 89px; width: 361px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

  142. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffffcc;&quot;&gt;$ sudo apt-get install apache2 –y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. After this installation, Apache sever will be running. Thereafter you can start or stop it by running the following commands (also see Figs 2 and 3):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 103px; width: 366px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

  144. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 82px; width: 362px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

  146. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffffcc;&quot;&gt;$ sudo service apache2 start&lt;br /&gt;$ sudo service apache2 stop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;3. Apache server by default creates a test HTML file in web folder. This can be served when http://localhost/ is browsed on the Raspberry Pi or http://192.168.2.104 (IP address of the Raspberry Pi in our case, but can be different in your case) from any other computer on the network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Browse the default web page and you will see the message shown in Fig. 4 appear on the screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 131px; width: 359px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  147. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;105&quot; src=&quot;http://www.electronicsforu.com/electronicsforu/circuitarchives/my_documents/my_pictures/6ZC_Fig_4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;347&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Fig. 4: Browser default HTML page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  148. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Change the default web page as per your requirement. The default web page is an HTML file on the file system and is located at /var/www/index.html. Execute the following command on terminal to navigate and have a look on the file:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffffcc;&quot;&gt;$ cd /var/www&lt;br /&gt;$ ls -al&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will see the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffffcc;&quot;&gt;total 12&lt;br /&gt;drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2&lt;br /&gt;03:15 .&lt;br /&gt;drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Mar 2&lt;br /&gt;03:15 ..&lt;br /&gt;-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 Mar 2&lt;br /&gt;03:16 index.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This shows that there is one file called index.html in /var/www/. The ‘.’ (dot) at the end of line 2 refers to the directory itself/var/www/ and the ‘..’ at the end of line 3 refers to the parent directory /var/.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meaning of each column in the previous file is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. File or directory permissions&lt;br /&gt;2. Number of files in the directory (1 in case of a file)&lt;br /&gt;3. User who owns directory or file&lt;br /&gt;4. Group which owns the directory or file&lt;br /&gt;5. File size&lt;br /&gt;6. Date and time of last modification&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to edit the directory and file, you should log in as root user. Edit the index.html file using either of the following commands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffffcc;&quot;&gt;$ sudo chown pi: index.html&lt;br /&gt;$ sudo nano index.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Try editing/changing this file and refreshing the browser to see the web page changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next step is to install PHP and MYSQL, which are used to create your own site and publish your own content dynamically, without knowing how to program those pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PHP installation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Install PHP by executing the following command (also see Fig. 5):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;height: 44px; width: 493px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

Stop and start the apache2 server. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WordPress download&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download WordPress by running wget command on the terminal. You can find the latest version at wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz and wordpress.org/latest.zip&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download the WordPress to /var/www/ location. You will have to empty the folder first.

Sadly, four years is almost up and it seems like Ubuntu’s goals were unfortunately overestimated. Ubuntu is a Linux distribution which is catered for smartphones and personal computers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id=&quot;more-88604&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The 200 million users goal is so far-fetched that currently, Ubuntu on has around tens of millions of users. What makes it more saddening is the fact that it is hard to even get an accurate sales figure of Ubuntu because it is rarely distributed along with marketed products. Even Canonical, Ubuntu’s parent company, has a difficult time releasing official stats about the operating system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; font-family: &#39;Open Sans&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;lightbox&quot; href=&quot;http://cdn.lowyat.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/meizu-mx4-ubuntu-1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;color: #1982d1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;meizu-mx4-ubuntu-1&quot; class=&quot;size-medium wp-image-50398 aligncenter&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn.lowyat.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/meizu-mx4-ubuntu-1-600x400.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border: none; clear: both; display: block; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px;&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; font-family: &#39;Open Sans&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;However, unofficial estimates said that Ubuntu hasn’t even surpass the 100 million mark.

box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 26px;&quot;&gt;I have chosen to use a Raspberry Pi, for this project, for a number of reasons. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 26px;&quot;&gt;First and foremost, it&#39;s a great way to support an innovative British business by putting an inexpensive computer to a productive task. &amp;nbsp;To me, this makes so much more sense than using a dedicated PC, as the PC is likely to be much more powerful than the Pi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 26px;&quot;&gt;Of course, that also means that using a Raspberry Pi, rather than a PC, means that the project is going to be much more energy efficient given that a Pi draws so little power compared to a PC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 26px;&quot;&gt;If I needed to convince myself further, the diminutive form factor of the Raspberry Pi means that it can be secured the the back of the monitor or secreted out of view, elsewhere, without taking up lots of space.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 class=&quot;nolinks&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 26px 0px 4px;&quot;&gt;Install Raspian&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #fefefe;

style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1em;&quot;&gt;“Grandpa is getting pretty old. Out there all alone on that farm, he has no one to look in on him, just to see if he’s ok. He’ll use the landline, but he’s beyond of the range of mobile, and he’s never been really great with computers. No Skype or emails. Grandpa does have internet. So I built this for him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  314. The girl points down to a small box with a few wires coming out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  315. “I can bring up a web browser, and take photos inside grandpa’s house. Has he moved his coffee cup today? Is the telly on? At least then we’ll know he’s okay. And I can even type messages” - she changes focus to a textbox inside a web form - “that show up on top. We used ImageMagick for that part...here, you can see it in our code.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  316. Fingers fly across the keyboard, and now I’m reading the source code for an index.php page, another marriage of convenience between HTML and PHP. How’d this girl - all of eleven years old - learn to do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  317. “A lot of it was trial and error.” Both she and her project partner blush a bit. “The PHP bits were kinda hard. But we found a lot of stuff on Google,” she confides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  318. After assuring her that grownups also find answers to their coding problems on Google, I had a good look at the code. Nothing spectacular, but readable enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  319. Neither girl had written a line of code before this. They knew nothing about how to build a computer-controlled camera, or drive a computer-controlled display. But with Google’s help - and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/22/review_raspberry_pi_arm_pc/&quot; style=&quot;color: #dd0000; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;”_blank”&quot;&gt;Raspberry Pi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- they prevailed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  320. When the Raspberry Pi shipped to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/02/29/raspberrypi_mania/&quot; style=&quot;color: #dd0000; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;”_blank”&quot;&gt;a planet excited geeks&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the middle of 2012, it changed the way we taught IT. That had always been the intention of creator Eben Upton. Give the kids the goods and they’ll do the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  321. At first, it seemed as though the grownups were more excited than the kids, creating all sorts of wacky Pi-based projects. Fortunately, those grownups - eager for the respect of their peers - shared everything they learned, posting to blogs, StackOverflow, and thousands of other websites. Want to know how to blink an LED? Drive a motor? Read a sensor? Set up a web server? Within the first year, all of that was out there, all of it indexed, searchable, and useful to kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  322. I was one of the lucky few who got their hands on one of the first Raspberry Pis to hit Australian shores. That first Pi gave me all sorts of ideas of a world where powerful computers had become cheap enough to put almost anywhere. It’s giving kids the same ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  323. For the last few years I’ve been a judge for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youngictexplorers.net.au/&quot; style=&quot;color: #dd0000; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;”_blank”&quot;&gt;Young ICT Explorers&lt;/a&gt;, a nationwide competition and celebration of kids who get bitten by the IT bug. Back in 2013, we saw a range of web-based projects, with one or two Arduinos thrown into the mix. Last year, a few more Arduinos, and a single Raspberry Pi project. That project - with the most sophisticated crontab I’d ever seen, and also built by an 11 year-old - won the big prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  324. This year, that project would barely rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  325. Look here, these kids are using sensors on a Raspberry Pi to read the air quality of the room, alerting asthmatics to seek an environment less likely to give them breathing problems. Over there - because sometimes the referees miss goals - a netball-crazed 11 year-old girl used an ultrasonic sensor and Raspberry Pi to create an automatic scoring system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  326. Consider three ten year-olds who fussed and fiddled with&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;strike&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: line-through;&quot;&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;littleBits - a mashup of Lego with the Internet of Things - until they found just the right combination of pieces to create a system that allows you to know whether that sushi tray gliding by on that continuous track has been sitting around a little too long to be safe to eat. (Their inspiration was a teacher who’d gotten sick from bad sushi.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  327. Each of these projects solve a real-world problem. They’re not speculative:&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;they’re prototypes&lt;/b&gt;. The Raspberry Pi has proven to be more than just a way to get kids into IT. It’s broadened their canvas of possibilities. They can look at a problem, dream up a solution, and make it so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  328. Fifteen years ago, I wrote that kids, raised in an era of pervasive interactivity, would expect the entire world to interact with them. I hadn’t realised we’d give those kids the capacity to create the world. But that’s where we are now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  329. Completely at home with Raspberry Pis, these kids Google around for the things they don’t know how to do - because when you’re 11, you don’t know what you can’t do. They are inventing the future, and for them it’s just child’s play. ®&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The private ones included: Canary Ring (daily updates and only accessible by Windows developers), Operating Systems Group Ring (after the Canary Ring approves a build), and Microsoft Ring (after the OSG Ring approves a build, Microsoft employees can test it internally). The 15 public builds went through two Windows Insider Rings: Fast (builds that have been approved by the Microsoft Ring) and Slow (builds that have no major issues in the Fast Ring).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_rings.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_10_rings&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784977&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_rings.png&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_rings.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;1800&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;One of the big reasons it was even technically possible to deliver so many builds is because of the changes the Windows 10 team made to the build upgrading process. To be clear, the core upgrade mechanism was not new. This is the same in-place upgrade technology that is already available in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_distribution&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;ESD&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;files have been enhanced, but they’re still largely the same).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;I learned that there were multiple new components, though, including targeting, pool management, registration, the insider channel, and so on. The most important new part is that the Windows 10 team was (and is still) able to offer a specific group of people a given set of builds, letting them do an in-place upgrade when a new build became available.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; allowtransparency=&quot;true&quot; class=&quot;twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;456&quot; id=&quot;twitter-widget-0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; style=&quot;border-style: none; border-width: initial; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 10px 0px; max-width: 100%; min-width: 220px; padding: 0px; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 500px;&quot; title=&quot;Twitter Tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;I also learned about some of the new infrastructure. The deployment mechanism (connect to Windows Update, take builds and stage them, declare that a build is available for update) was new. The measurement systems (a flight ops meeting held at 2&amp;nbsp;p.m.&amp;nbsp;PT every day to check on problems both encountered&amp;nbsp;by users and turned up by&amp;nbsp;raw telemetry data for performance, reliability, app compatibility, and so on) were also new.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;If all the lights were green, the team would go through the feedback and make the call to promote a given build to the next ring. The mechanism to do that actual promotion was also new, as was the whole return leg (all the user feedback details, which we’ll get to later) of any build’s journey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Eliminating the ta-da!&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;This was a massive technical achievement, but the sheer total number of Windows 10 builds made available to testers (five times the number of Windows 8 preview builds) isn’t the only differentiator.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;In past preview programs, Microsoft’s approach was to hold the final design assets until the very end. The company very much wanted a “big reveal” — there was a desire to be able to say “Here is what it actually looks like.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Windows 10 was different. “For the whole product, all features across the board, we said as soon as they’re ready they’ll go in, and then once they’re in, they’ll go out,” Aul explained.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/windows_10_days_cortana.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_10_days_cortana&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1775856&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/windows_10_days_cortana.png&quot; height=&quot;625&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/windows_10_days_cortana.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Furthermore, when the first Windows 7 and Windows 8 previews came out, they were two-thirds of the way through the process in terms of product development. As Aul put it, most of the product development was done “in the echo chamber here in Redmond.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;With Windows 10, the product development was “less than a third of the way through the release when we did our first preview.” There simply was no reveal moment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Instead of holding the look and feel until the rest of the OS was complete, and then trying to explain why the chosen way was so great, Microsoft decided to show testers what they had so far, and then ask for feedback on “whether directionally we’re going in the right way or not, and what else they want us to do in addition to what our plans are.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/edge_time.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;edge_time&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1775914&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/edge_time.png&quot; height=&quot;380&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/edge_time.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;625&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;It was an open, non-Microsoft approach. We were “much more willing to test our assumptions and to see if we’re on the right track, rather than hoping we were on the right track and getting to the end and finding out if it was right or not.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;By getting user feedback “very early,” Microsoft could incorporate it much sooner in the development process. In short, the company was able to be much more responsive to what Windows users actually said they liked, didn’t like, and wanted changed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Issues and delays&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;For testers, the biggest frustration by far was that Microsoft simply couldn’t get builds out fast enough. “Initially we just misjudged the hunger,” Aul admitted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The thinking was that users would love the idea of monthly builds, especially when compared to previous Windows preview programs. Sure, they loved it, but they also wanted more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The Windows 10 team needed to change its operations in order to spin out testable builds faster. The mission control dashboard, used for deciding when to promote a build from one ring to the next, had to evolve. Instead of relying on separate feeds and experts physically coming into the room to give their take, it eventually became possible to make a call in real time based on the data coming in on the screens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_no_preview_builds_short.jpg&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_10_no_preview_builds_short&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1785185&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_no_preview_builds_short.jpg&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_no_preview_builds_short.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;930&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;That sounds great and all, but the truth is that Microsoft still failed to get builds out on a monthly basis. There were two instances (one for PC and one for phone) when a build didn’t arrive for longer than a month, and in both, Aul blamed infrastructure and engineering that “got in our way.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;In the case of the PC build, a week after the most recent build, the team brought in a bunch of shell changes, and it simply took a long time to achieve a certain level of stability. The monthly flight boundary was missed, and they didn’t have much choice but to wait until the next one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;For the phone build, no hotfix mechanism exists, so a full build is necessary every time. This means that if you find a bug during the ring progression process, you have to go back to the beginning. In this case, “honestly we just had bad luck,” Aul said — an individual bug set the team back three or four times in a row.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;That problem has since been resolved by snapping code to a servicing branch and working from there if a bug needs to be fixed. Aul told me he doesn’t expect there will be delays anymore, and indeed, a month after the last build, a new one&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/2015/08/12/microsoft-releases-new-windows-10-mobile-preview-with-improvements-and-fixes-says-focus-is-now-on-core-quality/&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;arrived yesterday, right on time&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; allowtransparency=&quot;true&quot; class=&quot;twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;456&quot; id=&quot;twitter-widget-1&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; style=&quot;border-style: none; border-width: initial; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 10px 0px; max-width: 100%; min-width: 220px; padding: 0px; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 500px;&quot; title=&quot;Twitter Tweet&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The big picture: Microsoft was engineering the process while also engineering the operating system. A lot was learned and a lot improved, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Aul summarized this process. First, it took a while for Microsoft to figure out it was wrong in gauging demand. Then the team tried to react, but still wasn’t able to execute as fast as it wanted to. Now the group is able to promote builds based only on their health and stability, as opposed to technical limitations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Aul pointed to the fact that Microsoft put out three builds in four days at the end of the Windows 10 preview, but I argued this was only because the OS was much more stable by that point. Not so, said Aul: “Even if we had three totally stable builds [earlier in the program], we would not be able to get those builds out in four days.” Essentially, the infrastructure improved just in time for the last handful of builds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;A/B testing&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Microsoft gathered a wide variety of feedback during the Windows 10 preview program. Whereas previous Windows previews relied on community forums and indirect channels for commentary, the Windows 10 feedback systems added on top of that a dedicated feedback app (which remains in the OS even after launch), as well as popup surveys (which helped find new bugs, nominate feature suggestions, gauge emotional response on how features functioned, and even determine build quality to decide when builds should move up to the next ring).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_feedback_app.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_feedback_app&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784985&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_feedback_app.png&quot; height=&quot;810&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_feedback_app.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;1036&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;What stood out to me about the Windows 10 preview tools was Microsoft’s ability to perform A/B testing. Sometimes called split testing, this is the process of comparing two very similar variants of the same product or feature to conclude which one performs better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Microsoft was able to A/B test&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;internally&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(including during user studies), starting in the Windows Vista betas and going up all the way to Windows 8.1 previews, but the company could not run them during any of its broad public previews. With Windows 10, “this is the first time we’ve been able to do that,” Aul confirmed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;When I asked him what the biggest A/B test was, he immediately answered it was the one for virtual desktops. This is an enthusiast feature in Windows 10 that lets you make virtual copies of your desktop view and switch between them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_three_virtual_desktops.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_10_three_virtual_desktops&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784982&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_three_virtual_desktops.png&quot; height=&quot;132&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_three_virtual_desktops.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;515&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The Windows 10 team started with the basic capability of having multiple virtual desktops, then&amp;nbsp;added functionality to see what users wanted: Over the release, the team would look to incorporate the top feedback items. First basic switching was added, then keyboard support was requested and implemented, then users asked about being able to sort contents in the taskbar that map to the desktop, and so on. Aul considers virtual desktops a “great example for where the feedback really led the development of the feature.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Eventually, an A/B test was required. For the taskbar, there were two different ways to show your running apps: Display all the apps or display a filtered view, where for any given desktop you only see what you’re running in that desktop. Microsoft offered the options to two different groups and asked each how they liked their variant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/virtual_desktop_settings.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;virtual_desktop_settings&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784983&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/virtual_desktop_settings.png&quot; height=&quot;220&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/virtual_desktop_settings.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;490&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Just as with any other A/B test during the Windows 10 preview, Microsoft then used that vote to decide the default behavior. In the case of virtual desktops, it was a split distribution: 52 percent liked filtered, 46 percent liked combined, and the rest were neutral. Microsoft decided to keep both options: Filtered became the default, but you could easily switch to show all apps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;For other A/B tests, the distribution was much more obvious, so the Windows 10 team limited functionality to just the popular behavior. In most cases, feedback drove how features were developed, but in other cases, the results were outright&amp;nbsp;unanticipated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/edge_home_button.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;edge_home_button&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784986&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/edge_home_button.png&quot; height=&quot;342&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/edge_home_button.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;362&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;For example, while developing Microsoft Edge, the team didn’t bother building a Home button because it wasn’t deemed to be functionality that a modern browser should have. It turned out that a lot of users wanted it, so Microsoft added the option (it’s not on by default, but you can easily flip the switch).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Not applying feedback&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;All this feedback, whether from the individual reports or from dedicated A/B tests, is a lot to process, understand, and act on. Commentary consisted of everything from crash reports, hangs, and system failures, all the way up to “I don’t like this icon.” In short, there were comments on “everything from underlying core quality to aesthetics,” as Aul put it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Yet implementing user feedback isn’t as simple as just prioritizing all the requests and applying them one by one. The quantity and variety were&amp;nbsp;“fantastic,” but it was still a bumpy road to travel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;There were many cases where feedback could only influence the Windows 10 team so much. Aul broke up the issues into three cases:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Branding case&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Whenever Microsoft (or really any major business) needs to pick a new product name, the company has to go through a formal brand exercise, including ensuring it has all the rights and trademarks. Once a name is decided on, user feedback can’t do much.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ie_to_edge.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;ie_to_edge&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1775695&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ie_to_edge.png&quot; height=&quot;630&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ie_to_edge.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;1200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;As an example, Aul pointed to Microsoft Edge. Commentary ranged from people preferring the original Spartan code name all the way to arguments that Microsoft should have kept the Internet Explorer name (likely before it was made clear that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/2015/03/24/only-project-spartan-will-use-the-new-rendering-engine-on-windows-10-ie-to-remain-fundamentally-unchanged/&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;both browsers would stay in Windows 10&lt;/a&gt;). In short, as Aul put it, “Thank you for the opinions,” but Edge is here to stay.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Iteration case&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;For smaller items that can be changed more easily, Microsoft often goes through a couple of different iterations, but eventually it just has to make a final decision. Aul: “We know we’re not going to make everybody happy, but we think we’ve evolved it to a better place.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_battery_saver.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_10_battery_saver&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784988&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_battery_saver.png&quot; height=&quot;612&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_battery_saver.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;914&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Examples include user interface elements like icons, what specific settings are called, how many options to include in basic versus advanced settings, and so on. The threshold for when Windows 10’s battery saver kicks in was a big discussion, but Microsoft eventually had to pick a default number (20 percent) — though you can still change the figure with the slider.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Long-term case&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Then there are the bigger requests that require a lot of technical application and extra work to deliver exactly what users want. A change might seem trivial to the user, but there’s a lot more happening that Microsoft has to juggle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The most obvious example was the request for a full&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Aero&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Aero theme&lt;/a&gt;, which was the second biggest piece of feedback by volume, and which Microsoft didn’t deliver. Sure, the company added some transparency, but because the whole windowing system is designed to have thin borders and because, more importantly, Microsoft had made a commitment to app developers that the window color is their space (think Netflix and its iconic red for the window border), offering a full-blown Aero theme simply wasn’t in the cards.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/aero_windows.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;aero_windows&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784989&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/aero_windows.png&quot; height=&quot;1440&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/aero_windows.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;2160&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;And yet, a small percentage of users (though still a large number overall) want what Windows 10 can’t offer, at least in this first release. Aul wouldn’t commit to anything, but he did promise the Windows 10 team was “continuing to look at what could be done going forward.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;So if Aero was the second-most requested change, what was the first? The biggest piece of feedback by volume was about the fact that the task view and search bar were locked to the taskbar. Users wanted to be able to unpin them, so Microsoft added that option.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Attitude and obsession&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;While the above examples didn’t necessarily result in changes that users wanted, Aul insists Windows 10 was more of a feedback-driven release than any of its predecessors. In June, Microsoft said it had received 3 million pieces of Windows Insider feedback. As more and more testers joined the program, I’m told that number jumped to 5.8 million by July 1, and by the end of month, it had hit 7 million.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;wp-caption aligncenter&quot; id=&quot;attachment_1784992&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #808284; font-size: 14px; margin: 0.5em auto 20px; max-width: 1443px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_preview_usage_history.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;This data is from December, but Aul says it still accurately represents how Windows 10 preview feedback compares.&quot; class=&quot;size-full wp-image-1784992&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_preview_usage_history.png&quot; height=&quot;783&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_preview_usage_history.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;1443&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Above: This data is from December, but Aul says it still accurately represents how Windows 10 preview feedback compares.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;In fact, feedback items were present everywhere, from local team meetings all the way up to leadership team meetings. “I was really proud of everybody because there was no ‘Oh they just don’t get it, they just don’t understand, we just know better,&#39;” Aul said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Instead, the questions were more around figuring out an alternative, a compromise, a solution. “I loved it — it was such a great customer-focused way of working.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;He credits Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group, with this approach. “They’re both very obsessed with doing the right thing for people,” Aul said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/spartan_project_cluster.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;spartan_project_cluster&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784993&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/spartan_project_cluster.png&quot; height=&quot;575&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/spartan_project_cluster.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;1052&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;In fact, it quickly became clear that individual development teams craved the user feedback. “The biggest problem that I’ve had this cycle is that all the feedback flows through my team, and being able to give the quantity and quality of interpretation, and analysis, and visualization of the feedback to the people who are demanding it,” Aul said. “We had to work hard to keep up with the demand.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The solution? Data science clubs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Microsoft employees would come in and learn how to access the source of all the feedback directly so they could perform pivots and explore what they wanted to know. This wasn’t just a basic SQL data dump: They were taught how to do complex analysis so they could infer some useful meaning out all the information.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;Looking ahead&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Windows 10 has launched, but some components you’d expect to have been removed are still there. The feedback app is open to all (although Aul hinted that Insiders will be getting special features in upcoming builds), and the team has been working to scale up its various systems to handle the feedback that will come from all Windows 10 users, not just Insiders.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_feedback_final.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_feedback_final&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784996&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_feedback_final.png&quot; height=&quot;633&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_feedback_final.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;802&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;But Insiders are still going to play a very important role going forward, because after all, Windows 10 development isn’t done. I asked Aul if Insiders will help test everything that goes out, including everything from very specific bug fixes all the way to completely new features. The short answer? “Yes.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;The long answer? “It’s complicated.” Insiders will still get full builds, but these will contain fixes that are actually applied to the current build — Microsoft will likely refer to this as the “consumer build.” In short, Insiders will be the guinea pigs not just for features but for fixes, too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Here is how this will work. An engineer will code a fix for a given bug against the current branch (in order to ensure there is nothing in the latest build that might influence the fix), and the change will go out as part of the next build. Once the patch is validated, it will be taken as a separate hotfix (standalone patch rather than a new build) and sent out to affected users under the main branch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;In Windows 8.1, Microsoft deployed fixes to a small set of users first to see how they fared, but this was only done for driver updates. Now the company plans to broaden this approach to all types of patches. “Any package that we want to get stage validation on — except for security, because that we want to do immediately — we will do some sort of staged rollout,” Aul confirmed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Insiders of course want to know how often they can expect new builds, now that Windows 10 for PCs is out. Aul didn’t want to put a number on it: “We’re still playing with the frequency.” He did say, however, that the team has considered adding another ring, and toyed with the idea of having a new build (say every week) that goes out to a subset of Insiders who really don’t care about stability.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_about.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #4479bd; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;windows_10_about&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-1784994&quot; data-src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_about.png&quot; height=&quot;406&quot; scale=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1u88jj3r4db2x4txp44yqfj1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/windows_10_about.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;460&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Of the 6 million Windows Insiders, many will undoubtedly leave the program now that Windows 10 is available (in Windows Update, you&amp;nbsp;can simply choose to stop receiving new builds). After all, the various testers joined at very different times with diverse expectations, from those who want builds as frequently as possible to those who expect builds to be as stable as the last few that were released weeks before launch. But Aul isn’t worried: “I will say that based on my interactions with Insiders, I’m betting the vast majority will stay; it will be 80+ percent.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;That still means losing over 1 million testers. When he looks to the future, though, Aul can’t help but be positive. After all, everything we talked about isn’t going to be filed away in some cabinet. It’s just going to be applied to Windows 10 going forward.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;“I’m excited about the future for Windows. I feel like we are on the right track with the way we’re thinking about this and having it be a continuous evolution versus these big three-year drops that people get stuck on. I think it’s going to be great for the world, great for everyone to be running the latest, secure, up-to-date OS.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;In other words, Aul’s team doesn’t have time to take a break. His favorite way to refer to Windows 10 during our interview was as a “great flywheel.” And as he said, it’s only beginning to turn.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/article&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

To help coax new users,&amp;nbsp;IBM will be offering free access to the LinuxOne cloud, a mainframe simulation tool it developed for creating, testing and piloting Linux mainframe applications.

Even if it knows, the UK based firm is not willing to share the details regarding the software center. Meanwhile, projects like Ubuntu MATE are no longer relying on the Ubuntu Software Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canonical also forgot to share that now developers with their applications in the Ubuntu Software Center cannot offer updates for latest Ubuntu version, which means that you won&#39;t be able to find dmmedia converter in the Software Center if you work on Ubuntu 15.04.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Unfortunately, we haven&#39;t fixed your problem because as it stands we can&#39;t afford to. The DEB based store has continued to be a huge problem over time and in fact it has been increasingly expensive to keep running. As it stands today, we won&#39;t enable uploads to newer Ubuntu releases. It requires significant manual work that sometimes drags on for weeks. We all agree the current situation with deb based isn&#39;t one to be proud of, and I expect we&#39;ll announce a more definitive plan on its future soon,&quot; revealed Martin Albisetti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it is anticipated that Canonical wants to keep the DEB based Ubuntu, we wonder what would happen to the third party software which cannot be updated in the official store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anurima&amp;nbsp;Mondal, EFYTIMES News Network&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While Microsoft has been praised for its bold moves, one question remains: how will Microsoft make money if it gives away software? The answer is freemium.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;Microsoft’s traditional revenue has primarily come from licensing software like Windows and Office to OEMs and businesses. Microsoft grew into the giant it is today thanks to this hugely successful strategy and a dominance of the PC market. With mobile altering the landscape, Microsoft is turning to new strategies for the future of its entire business. Speaking at Microsoft’s Convergence conference today, Chris Caposella, who is in charge of marketing at the software giant, revealed Microsoft’s freemium plans in full.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;&lt;q class=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #fa4b2a; display: block; float: left; font-family: ff-din-web-condensed, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 2.5rem; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1; margin: 2.5rem 2.5rem 2.2rem 0px; max-width: 40%; quotes: none; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;FREEMIUM IS THE WAY FORWARD&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;It involves four parts: acquire, engage, enlist, and monetize. Acquire is Microsoft&#39;s way of getting people to use a product for free, like Office for iPad. Engage is Microsoft’s plan to get them hooked on the product and leverage other parts of its ecosystem to keep someone using the service. Enlist is simply finding fans to keep the circle going, and then monetizing is figuring out who will pay for subscription versions of the service they’re hooked on. It sounds simple, but it’s something Microsoft hasn’t traditionally succeeded at. Google has thrived at offering free services in return for your data or ads, but Microsoft’s approach assumes people are willing to spend money on apps and services they’re addicted to.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Microsoft vs. Apple vs. Google&quot; class=&quot;vox-lazy-load lazy-loaded&quot; data-chorus-asset-id=&quot;3510782&quot; data-full-size=&quot;https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/BQS1RubijcroTFKKAWLzNO0XBs4=/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3510782/microsoftvsgooglevsapple.0.jpg&quot; data-original=&quot;https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/NtVMFzNiXB-k0Ztvq53liaDK608=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3510782/microsoftvsgooglevsapple.0.jpg&quot; src=&quot;https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/NtVMFzNiXB-k0Ztvq53liaDK608=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3510782/microsoftvsgooglevsapple.0.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;Caposella’s talk marks the first time Microsoft has clearly signalled exactly how it will rival Apple and Google’s ecosystems. Former Microsoft CEO&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/20/4749574/microsoft-business-model-mix-of-google-and-apple&quot; sl-processed=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #fa4b2a; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Steve Ballmer hinted at it&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;during his final months, but Caposella used an illustration of all three companies’ greatest assets to show where Microsoft is focusing its efforts. &quot;If you look what Apple advertises on TV, at least in the US, it’s all iPhone and iPad, and yet you see all the lines that connect their ecosystem,&quot; explains Caposella. &quot;So they can focus their marketing dollars on a very small number of things, be very disciplined, but because they’ve engineered their things to work together one product naturally leads to the next product without any marketing at all. Very efficient marketing to build your marketing into your products.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;&lt;q class=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #fa4b2a; display: block; float: right; font-family: ff-din-web-condensed, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 2.5rem; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1; margin: 2.5rem 0px 2.2rem 2.5rem; max-width: 40%; quotes: none; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;MICROSOFT IS TAKING AN APPLE APPROACH TO PRODUCT INTEGRATION&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;It’s a technique that Microsoft has started to adopt, admits Caposella. Citing the Surface Pro 3 and its deep integration with OneNote, Microsoft has seen a big increase in OneNote usage. &quot;We had to convince the Windows team to work with the Surface team to work with the OneNote team,&quot; says Caposella, but the result was a product tied to Microsoft’s strengths. Elsewhere, Cortana feeds into Bing to break the Google addiction. &quot;If you use Cortana, you’re actually becoming a Bing user,&quot; explains Caposella. &quot;This is a way I can build Bing into every Windows phone, into every Windows 10 PC.&quot; While breaking the familiarity of using Google’s website to search might be difficult, slowly spreading Cortana into apps and services across Microsoft’s products will certainly help draw people away. Microsoft is using the same techniques for&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;skimlinks-unlinked&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Outlook.com&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;by integrating Skype in the hope you’ll become a Skype user and they can then sell you minutes or subscriptions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p1&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Windows 10 Cortana&quot; class=&quot;vox-lazy-load lazy-loaded&quot; data-chorus-asset-id=&quot;3510780&quot; data-full-size=&quot;https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-9SssPfmBI82Ym-h2XNT4KlmH6w=/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3510780/cortana.0.png&quot; data-original=&quot;https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/XmRu8U9MIl5YDBF9p9f2efj21OQ=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3510780/cortana.0.png&quot; src=&quot;https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/XmRu8U9MIl5YDBF9p9f2efj21OQ=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3510780/cortana.0.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p2&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;&quot;&gt;&quot;We know consumers are choosing an ecosystem more than ever,&quot; admits Caposella, and it’s this notion of an ecosystem that Microsoft really wants to improve. &quot;We don’t have nearly the connectivity between our products that Apple has engineered, that Google has engineered.&quot; That’s illustrated well in Microsoft’s slide, and it’s a good reminder that the company has a lot of work ahead of it to bring its products closer together. Windows 10 will obviously help a lot, and its primary purpose is unifying the apps, services, and the devices themselves on a single operating system. Windows 10 isn’t the savior of Microsoft, though. It will certainly lay a foundation for better interconnectivity between Microsoft’s apps and services across Windows, but as the company continues to focus on iOS and Android it will be looking to find every opportunity to break any addiction to Google’s and Apple’s strong ecosystems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/RaysLinuxObservations&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/RaysLinuxObservations?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0&quot; height=&quot;26&quot; width=&quot;88&quot; style=&quot;border:0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rayslinux.blogspot.com/feeds/208236676443947751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rayslinux.blogspot.com/2015/03/microsoft-reveals-how-it-will-make.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554701535168415780/posts/default/208236676443947751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1554701535168415780/posts/default/208236676443947751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rayslinux.blogspot.com/2015/03/microsoft-reveals-how-it-will-make.html' title='Microsoft reveals how it will make money giving away software | The Verge'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02312392291190205850</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554701535168415780.post-4246720272531260789</id><published>2015-03-21T07:58:00.001+00:00</published><updated>2015-03-21T07:58:27.446+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Five new open source project management tools for 2015 | Opensource.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://opensource.com/business/15/1/top-project-management-tools-2015&quot;&gt;Five new open source project management tools for 2015 | Opensource.com&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

These editors and builders make prototyping, testing and building responsive websites easier. Each editor is different but all of them feature some drag and drop facility through a huge library of components. Here is a list of 10 best Bootstrap editors for building responsive websites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Bootstrap, Bootstrap editors,  Bootstrap editors for responsive websites, 10  Bootstrap editors for web designers, 10  Bootstrap editors for web developers. 10 useful Bootstrap editors, 10 best  Bootstrap editors, 10 excellent  Bootstrap editors&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;http://www.efytimes.com/admin/useradmin/photo/fHi345852PM10302014.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

It enables dragging and dropping Bootstrap components and then edits the code. It&#39;s integrated with popular Bootstrap plug-ins, micro-libraries and frameworks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://jetstrap.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jetstrap&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s a web-based JavaScript library which allows building rapid prototypes and applications with Bootstrap. It&#39;s very simple to use and has a powerful interface with drag-and-drop functionality. It allows dropping elements, customising them and see a live preview while the entire code is completely formatted. Multiple device emulators are tested within the workspace and it can export code easily to run the website faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pikock.github.io/bootstrap-magic/app/#!/editor&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bootstrap Magic&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s one of the most useful editors which helps generate own Bootstrap theme by providing live previews. It reduces developers&#39; work burden and increases efficiency. It uses Angular JS and the recent Bootstrap 3 too to give live preview of all actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://brix.io/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brix.io&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brix is an online Bootstrap builder which is quite powerful and sleek looking too. It enables creation of responsive interfaces and websites faster than ever. Brix provides smooth and well-formatted HTML, CSS and JS with any hosting service and with this editor you can also create projects as editing and commenting become easy with this builder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://divshot.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Divshot&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It allows fast front end development and it works with most popular frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation and Ratchet. It has several component libraries which are completely customised for each framework and the visual HTML editor supports custom code, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, LESS and more. The theme switcher is also very useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bootswatchr.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BootSwatchr&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&#39;re at the initial stage of building a website or you want to change a website&#39;s theme then the best editor for you is BootSwatchr because it&#39;s highly customisable. You can do anything as you wish with your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pinegrow.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pinegrow&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a desktop app used in Mac, Windows and Linux systems. With Pinegrow developers can mockup and design web pages with multi-page editing, CSS and LESS styling. It also features smart components for Bootstrap, Foundation and other frameworks. This tool saves all your efforts and time too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://getkickstrap.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kickstrap&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s a free editor and a front-end framework which comes bundled with Bootstrap library. You can choose which CSS and JS components you want to use in website development and keep the framework&#39;s layers updated. It doesn&#39;t require any installation as it&#39;s out of the box and you can put it directly on your server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wrapbootstrap.com/preview/WB0DFT966&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bootstrap Live Editor&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It helps you customise HTML based website through snippets and contents. It also allows perform advanced customisations like button configuration and localisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.layoutit.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #008eb0; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;LayouIt&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s very simple and effective interface builder to make front end coding easier. You can use its base templates and drag and drop Bootstrap elements onto the canvas. Then download the HTML and add your own styling to integrate it with any programming language.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;initial announcement&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;I posted precisely a year ago. Since then most of the big distributions have decided to adopt it in one way or another, many smaller distributions have already switched. The first big distribution with systemd by default will be Fedora 15, due end of May. It is expected that the others will follow the lead a bit later (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;with one exception&lt;/a&gt;). Many embedded developers have already adopted it too, and there&#39;s even a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://profusion.mobi/&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;company specializing on engineering and consulting services for systemd&lt;/a&gt;. In short: within one year systemd became a really successful project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  570. However, there are still folks who we haven&#39;t won over yet. If you fall into one of the following categories, then please have a look on the comparison of init systems below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  571. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are working on an embedded project and are wondering whether it should be based on systemd.&lt;/li&gt;
  572. &lt;li&gt;You are a user or administrator and wondering which distribution to pick, and are pondering whether it should be based on systemd or not.&lt;/li&gt;
  573. &lt;li&gt;You are a user or administrator and wondering why your favourite distribution has switched to systemd, if everything already worked so well before.&lt;/li&gt;
  574. &lt;li&gt;You are developing a distribution that hasn&#39;t switched yet, and you are wondering whether to invest the work and go systemd.&lt;/li&gt;
  575. &lt;/ul&gt;And even if you don&#39;t fall into any of these categories, you might still find the comparison interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  576. We&#39;ll be comparing the three most relevant init systems for Linux: sysvinit, Upstart and systemd. Of course there are other init systems in existance, but they play virtually no role in the big picture. Unless you run Android (which is a completely different beast anyway), you&#39;ll almost definitely run one of these three init systems on your Linux kernel. (OK, or busybox, but then you are basically not running any init system at all.) Unless you have a soft spot for exotic init systems there&#39;s little need to look further. Also, I am kinda lazy, and don&#39;t want to spend the time on analyzing those other systems in enough detail to be completely fair to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  577. Speaking of fairness: I am of course one of the creators of systemd. I will try my best to be fair to the other two contenders, but in the end, take it with a grain of salt. I am sure though that should I be grossly unfair or otherwise incorrect somebody will point it out in the comments of this story, so consider having a look on those, before you put too much trust in what I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  698. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Summary&lt;/h4&gt;As the tables above hopefully show in all clarity systemd has left behind both sysvinit and Upstart in almost every aspect. With the exception of the project&#39;s age/maturity systemd wins in every category. At this point in time it will be very hard for sysvinit and Upstart to catch up with the features systemd provides today. In one year we managed to push systemd forward&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;much&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;further than Upstart has been pushed in six.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  699. It is our intention to drive forward the development of the Linux platform with systemd. In the next release cycle we will focus more strongly on providing the same features and speed improvement we already offer for the system to the user login session. This will bring much closer integration with the other parts of the OS and applications, making the most of the features the service manager provides, and making it available to login sessions. Certain components such as ConsoleKit will be made redundant by these upgrades, and services relying on them will be updated. The burden for maintaining these then obsolete components will be passed on the vendors who plan to continue to rely on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  700. If you are wondering whether or not to adopt systemd, then systemd obviously wins when it comes to mere features. Of course that should not be the only aspect to keep in mind. In the long run, sticking with the existing infrastructure (such as ConsoleKit) comes at a price: porting work needs to take place, and additional maintainance work for bitrotting code needs to be done. Going it on your own means increased workload.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  701. That said, adopting systemd is also not free. Especially if you made investments in the other two solutions adopting systemd means work. The basic work to adopt systemd is relatively minimal for porting over SysV systems (since compatibility is provided), but can mean substantial work when coming from Upstart. If you plan to go for a 100% systemd system without any SysV compatibility (recommended for embedded, long run goal for the big distributions) you need to be willing to invest some work to rewrite init scripts as simple systemd unit files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  702. systemd is in the process of becoming a comprehensive, integrated and modular platform providing everything needed to bootstrap and maintain an operating system&#39;s userspace. It includes C rewrites of all basic early boot init scripts that are shipped with the various distributions. Especially for the embedded case adopting systemd provides you in one step with almost everything you need, and you can pick the modules you want. The other two init systems are singular individual components, which to be useful need a great number of additional components with differing interfaces. The emphasis of systemd to provide a platform instead of just a component allows for closer integration, and cleaner APIs. Sooner or later this will trickle up to the applications. Already, there are accepted XDG specifications (e.g. XDG basedir spec, more specifically XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) that are not supported on the other init systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  703. systemd is also a big opportunity for Linux standardization. Since it standardizes many interfaces of the system that previously have been differing on every distribution, on every implementation, adopting it helps to work against the balkanization of the Linux interfaces. Choosing systemd means redefining more closely what the Linux platform is about. This improves the lifes of programmers, users and administrators alike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  704. I believe that momentum is clearly with systemd.
