Apple bringing red iPhone?

What about adding some warmth with the red flare of iPhone 3G this Christmas? Apple’s penchant for the red is rumored to come alive once again this winter season when Apple launches its red iPhone 3G. Everything is part of Apple’s participation in the RED campaign where money from the revenue goes to the Global AIDS fund to fight the viral menace in Africa. Earlier we had seen red iTunes gift cards, red 8GB iPod Nano and 1GB iPod Shuffle and now hopefully a red iPhone 3G. Nothing could be more colorful than this during the Christmas season.

Using Static Analysis Tools to Identify Code Smells

"The measure for finding duplicated code is to search for code duplication within classes and among other classes in the code base. Duplication among classes is more difficult to assess without the help of a tool. Because of the slight changes that copied code can often undergo, it's important to measure code that is not simply copied verbatim, but also code that is similar."

Bitten By the Red Hat Perl Bug

snydeq writes "Smart coders always optimize the slowest thing. But what if 'the slowest thing' is the code supplied by your vendor? That was exactly the situation Vipul Ved Prakash discovered when he tinkered with a company Linux box on which Perl code was running at least 100 times slower than expected. The code, he found, was running on CentOS Linux, using Perl packages built by Red Hat. So Prakash got rid of the Perl executable that came with CentOS, compiled a new one from stock, and the bug disappeared. 'What's more disturbing,' McAllister writes, 'is that this Red Hat Perl performance issue is a known bug,' first documented in 2006 on Red Hat's own Bugzilla database. Folks affected by the current bug have two options: sit tight, or compile the Perl interpreter from source — effectively waiving your support contract.

Red Faction: Guerrilla PlayStation 3 Screenshots

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players will take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players will carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.

Rumour: Apple to get charitable with RED iPhone?

red-iphone-3g.jpgMuch of the gossip in the queues for iPhone 3G on launch day here in the UK was over whether people wanted a black or a white model, before we all found out that we’d only have a choice of black. Who knows when the white version will touch down (if at all) in the UK. Still, if you don’t lead a monochrome lifestyle, you’ll be pleased by the strong rumours that Apple is planning to launch a red iPhone for Christmas. Or rather a RED iPhone, as it’ll apparently be part of the charitable (PRODUCT) RED campaign, which Apple has supported in the past with scarlet iPods. It’s a good cause, but does anyone really want a red iPhone? That said, if Apple ever launches a green one that benefits eco charities, I might be tempted to switch to it…

Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC Announces Investigation Into UBS AG 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

ATLANTA, July 29, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC is investigating possible violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 related to UBS AG's (``UBS'' or the ``Company'') (NYSE:UBS - News) 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the ``Plan''). The investigation centers on whether UBS and the Plan administrators breached their fiduciary duties to Plan participants by, among other things, making imprudent investments in Company stock and otherwise failing to prudently and loyally manage the Plan's investments.

Cloud computing will be owned by Linux, new Red Hat CEO says

Linux computing belongs in the clouds, declares Red Hat's new chief executive, Jim Whitehurst. Maybe his eyes are facing up because his previous job was as Delta Airlines chief operating officer. In any case, Whitehurst says that Red Hat's future is to become the dominant operating system for cloud applications.

Fedora considering a new privacy policy

For a while now, we've been butting up against the Red Hat Privacy Policy (which we've been using to cover Fedora). To try to address some of these concerns, I sat down and made a new privacy policy for Fedora to use that is independent of Red Hat's Privacy Policy. I made a draft, then sent it over to Red Hat Legal for review. They made some minor changes and sent it back to me. Here it is for you folks to look over: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/PrivacyPolicyD... Keep in mind that while this is more open than the Red Hat Privacy Policy, I think it is more in keeping with the spirit of Fedora. (Also, it is directly derived from Red Hat's privacy policy, so its not as if I completely rewrote it from scratch). Barring any major failures, I plan to present this for approval at next week's board meeting.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3.0 Review

IconWhen I volunteered to do this review I quickly realized that I was asked to review 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server' and not just 'Red Hat Linux'. Then panic set in. How different was this going to be from regular old Red Hat that I've used and relied on for years? Is this going to be a whole new Red Hat with a whole bunch of advanced features that I wouldn't be able to talk about either because I missed them or because I'm not qualified?

The RED DSLR: A Wish List

RED Camera's Jim Jannard has hinted at a new still camera that could do to the DSLR market what the RED ONE movie camera is doing to the movie industry. At RED, Jannard has shown that he can pretty much ignore the industry paradigm and start from scratch: The RED cameras use sensors and file formats developed in house, and they are widely regarded to be better than those of bigger companies.

Orphaned 401(k) Plan From Defunct Waterbury, Conn., Company Gets FiduciaryLoading...

Jul. 17--A federal court has appointed a consultant to distribute the assets of an abandoned 401(k) plan established by a defunct Waterbury construction company, the U.S. Department of Labor said Wednesday. U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut appointed Pension Consultants Inc. of Farmington as the independent fiduciary for the VA Construction LLC 401(k) Plan, an employee benefit plan sponsored by VA Construction LLC of Waterbury until it went out of business in 2001. When the company closed, the plan's fiduciaries stopped performing their duties and failed to appoint a successor, said John M. Chavez, a Labor Department spokesman.

Bitten by the Red Hat Perl bug (InfoWorld)

To make a long story short, he got rid of the Perl executable that came with his CentOS installation, compiled a new one from stock source code, and the bug disappeared. Clearly, the Perl hackers are blameless in this case. The fault lies squarely with Red Hat for distributing a buggy version of the interpreter. What's more disturbing, however, is that it turns out that this Red Hat Perl performance issue is a known bug. It was documented and verified long before Prakash ever raised a stink about it. How long? Try 2006, according to Red Hat's own Bugzilla database.

Understanding simple numbers the key to success in small business says online

Understanding simple numbers the key to success in small business says online - Edwards, who is also a chartered accountant, says up to date financial data is critical to manage a business well, particularly in crucial start up or expansion phases. “Most people would say a big increase in sales is a good thing in business, but ironically it can be a disaster because of the effect on cash flow,” he says. “If you’re not on top of your basic numbers, you risk being saddled with a huge debt to your suppliers that you can’t pay because you haven’t received the money from your customers yet. If you’re on top of it you can plan for it.” “Entrepreneurs who know their numbers have a tremendous advantage.
