Developers: Here’s your updated backend ecosystems roadmap
Developers: Here’s your updated backend ecosystems roadmap:
Keeping track of the ecosystems available to software developers is no mean feat. Sravish Sridhar, CEO of Kinvey, started mapping them out in his Backend As A Service Ecosystem “subway” map six months ago. And now he’s updated that map to add another category — mobile enterprise application platforms or MEAPs — to the existing Iaas, PaaS, SaaS menagerie.
So … why the change? Sridhar sees two emerging trends. First, enterprise software companies (IBM, Sybase/SAP, Adobe etc.) want more mindshare among mobile developers. Second, mobile developers, who demand free tools, are forcing mobile services companies to find other ways to make money. Writing in the company’s blog, Kinvey VP Annie Bourne says these MEAPs:

Microsoft updates explanation of Azure outage
Microsoft updates explanation of Azure outage:
Microsoft just updated its explanation of what brought down Windows Azure in Europe for nearly 2 and a half hours last week.
In a blog post, Windows Azure General Manager Mike Neil basically said that when Microsoft added more compute capacity to meet increased demand in its West Europe sub-region, it did not match that new capacity with enough network devices to handle the additional connections needed.

The problem with SaaS metrics
The problem with SaaS metrics:
As a venture investor and board member, relentlessly in pursuit of companies that can set forth aggressive goals, and then exceed them. One of my portfolio company CEOs likes to use the term “consciously competent” — which means being successful by design, rather than by luck. Clearly, this is a goal most startups aspire to (although luck is good too!), and it requires carefully tracking metrics that accurately

Samsung Argues Leaked Documents In Apple Case Are Public Domain, Admits To No Wrongdoing:
In the latest filing in the Apple vs Samsung patent case, the Korean-based electronics company argued that the documents they leaked after US District Judge Lucy Koh excluded as trial evidence were public domain, anyway, and that Samsung had done nothing wrong or unethical.
“Contrary to the representations Apple’s counsel made to this Court,” said Samsung lawyer John B. Quinn in a filing this morning, “Samsung did not issue a general press release and more importantly, did not violate any Court Order or any legal or ethical standards.”

Waterproof ECOXPRO Speaker Holds iPhone Safe Inside [Review]
Waterproof ECOXPRO Speaker Holds iPhone Safe Inside [Review]:
In the shower, or on the beach, the ECOXPRO will keep your iPhone safe. Photo Charlie Sorrel (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)
It has the word “cox” in the name, and you can play with it whilst naked in the bathroom, but that’s where the childish jokes end. The ECOXPRO is a waterproof speaker with a snug and safe chamber inside that will fit your iPhone or iPod, along with your cash and keys, all the while blasting out the tunes to everyone trying to relax on the beach.
The ECOXPRO runs on three AA batteries for up to 30 hours, will stand up straight, and has clamps to close the case along with a pressure equalization valve to stop anything getting sucked inside or blowing out. It comes in black and orange, and a detachable carabiner and strap let you clip it to anything.
The sound is fine. It’s not hi-fi, but neither is it tinny. It’s more than loud enough to hear podcasts in the shower, and to annoy other beach-goers. And for camping, it might just be ideal.
Finally, a pass-through headphone socket lets you use this as a massively oversized waterproof walkman.
Sure, you could put your keys in here too, but things might get a little scratchy. Photo Charlie Sorrel (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)
Also, there’s no way to control your music other than opening the thing up. The only external control is volume. Given that the iPhone can be controlled by its headphone cable, and that you have indeed plugged one into it, this seems like an obvious feature.
But if you treat it as a waterproof safety box for your gear, one which has the bonus of a built-in speaker, then you’ll love it. And it only costs $80.

The Good
This thing is sturdy. From the hinges and clamps to the oversized volume/power knob, it feels like you can trust it in the depths. The interior net pocket holds the iPhone, and an internal cable hooks up to the headphone socket. You can also let your coins and keys jangle around in there, making it a great solution for solo beachgoing: you can keep all your valuables with you as you swim.The sound is fine.

The Bad
There’s really nothing wrong with the ECOXPRO. My complaints concern the design decisions. I would prefer a rechargeable internal battery to the replaceable AAs (carrying an extra battery charger on a trip is a pain), and some kind of separation between the iPhone and your other valuables would help stave off scratches.Also, there’s no way to control your music other than opening the thing up. The only external control is volume. Given that the iPhone can be controlled by its headphone cable, and that you have indeed plugged one into it, this seems like an obvious feature.
The Verdict
I’d buy this if I spent a lot of time at the beach. You could use it as a shower radio, too, but the effort of loading it up and then removing the phone/MP3 player or whatever after each shower makes a dedicated model seem better (or you could just slip your JamBox into a ziploc bag).But if you treat it as a waterproof safety box for your gear, one which has the bonus of a built-in speaker, then you’ll love it. And it only costs $80.

Eight million Gamigo account passwords leaked
Eight million Gamigo account passwords leaked:
While German MMO website Gamigo announced it had been hacked back in March of this year, it wasn’t known to what extent user details were compromised. Now however, it’s been confirmed that over eight million account passwords and email addresses were stolen, with the details being made available on the Inside Pro forum.
At the time Gamigo did recommend that its users change their passwords to secure their accounts, but the problem comes from password reuse. It’s very likely that those same Gamigo players have the same email and password on other accounts – if you fall into this category, it’s recommended you change all corresponding details on all services.
Gamigo: Leaking all over your shoes
Since the data has been freely available on the Inside Pro forum for nearly a month, it’s likely more than a few individuals have had a play with the data, seeing what exactly it allows them to access. It’s thought that within the account list, there are over three million Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo! addresses, most of them Americans. There’s also 2.4 million German accounts, as well as 1.3 million French. According to analysis by PwnedList, a company that specialises in compromised emails, the list also contains many corporate email accounts too, including ones from IBM, Siemens, Deutsche Bank and several more.
If you’re worried that your email address might have been part of this list, you can check on the PwnedList site with its simple tool.

Th1 10.1 inch tablet weighs in at just 560 grams and is less than 9mm thick, with a display resolution of 1,280 x 800. On the inside, it’ll be powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 T30 running at 1.4Ghz. This features four processing cores and will be paired up 1GB of DDR2 memory at 1066MHz. While this is far from a monstrous hardware setup, it’s more powerful than the Google Nexus 7, which features the slower T30L chip.
