While Linux is running our phones, friend requests, tweets, financial trades, ATMs and more, most of us don't know how it's actually built. This short video takes you inside the process by which the largest collaborative development project in the history of computing is organized. Based on the annual report "Who Writes Linux," this is a powerful and inspiring story of how Linux has become a community-driven phenomenon. More information about Linux and The Linux Foundation can be found at http://www.linuxfoundation.org and http://www.linux.com
There’s no question that mobile apps are a booming business and a new website called Apptopia wants to help developers captilize on this by selling their apps. And we’re not talking about selling an app to users — we’re talking about selling complete ownership of an app, handing over the reigns to a big company or business. Apptopia is a marketplace for developers to sell their mobile apps — including code, users and revenue — after they move on to another great idea , take other responsibilities or just want to make some additional cash. Apptopia is a self-serve platform like
Read MorePico projectors have lately been investigated as mobile display and interaction devices. Everyday objects sojourning in a beam are turned into dedicated projection surfaces and tangible interaction devices. While this has been explored for large projectors, the affordances of pico projectors are fundamentally different: they have a very small and strictly limited projection ray and can be carried around in a nomadic way during the day. Thus it is unclear how this could be actually leveraged for tangible interaction with physical, real world objects. We have investigated this in an exploratory field study and contribute the results. Based upon these,

This hack allows access to credit card data and purchase history and could, in theory, allow a hacker to use a Google Wallet freely. However, it does require the hacker to have unfettered root access to the phone. Rubin recommends: #1 Do Not “Root” the Cell Phone – Doing so will be one less step for a thief. #2 Enable Lock Screens – “Face Unlock,” “Pattern,” “PIN” and “Password” all increase physical security to the device. “Slide,” however, does not. #3 Disable USB Debugging – When enabled, the data on mobile

Read MoreMIT is working on a smart car that can reduce congestion on the highway and solve the many parking problems our country faces! To accomplish this, the car is designed to fold in half! William Lark Jr., an African-American PhD candidate at MIT, is the chief designer of CityCar, a stackable small car that folds. The cars, which are smaller than Smart Cars, are battery-electric, so they don’t cause tailpipe emissions. They also weigh less than a 1,000 pounds and are intended to “meet the demand for enclosed personal mobility.” It does not have a central engine and traditional power
