Macnica Inc, a Japanese firm developing and marketing semiconductors and network devices, and Fujitsu Software Technologies Ltd jointly developed the "Software Platform for Home Network Digital Photo Frame," a digital photo frame that employed Google Inc's "Android" as its platform. Macnica will exhibit this digital photo frame for reference at the 12th Embedded Systems Expo (ESEC2009), which runs from May 13, 2009, at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo, Japan. It will be exhibited as an example of digital home appliances that incorporate Android as their embedded platform. The developed digital photo frame can display a slideshow of photos on a home network via DLNA. Using Fujitsu Ltd's middleware, "Inspirium HomeNetwork Library for AV," Macnica and Fujitsu Software realized a capability to share photos on a home network via DLNA. Macnica's "Marbo PictImpact" is included as middleware for slideshows of still pictures. It can process photos with oil paint...

Hey, if you can take Google's open source OS for mobile telephones and chunk it into a netbook, then why not digital photo frames? Fujitsu and Japan's Macnica have teamed up on what they're calling a "Software Platform for Home Network Digital Photo Frames" based on Google's Android. In other words, it's a software platform for home network digital photo frames based on Google's Android. Uh, riiight. The prototype frame above was on display in Japan yesterday running slideshows off a standard DLNA network. Honestly, we don't care what OS is running at the core of those cheap, off-brand digital photo frames cluttering big box shelves every holiday -- just make the navigation intuitive and we're happy. Android seems like a good (and free!) start along the road to standardization.

And well, if Android can save Digital Photo Frames from bad UI and all around obsoleteness that'd be an accomplishment in itself. If Fujitsu and Macnica can actually come up with a Digital Photo Frame pseudo-standard OS off Android, that'd be even more amazing.

An updated version of the WebKit HTML engine in AIR 2 features a faster JavaScript engine. HTML5/CSS3 (Cascading Style Sheets) 3 capabilities are in AIR 2, too. The local microphone access API in AIR 2 enables recording of audio locally, which benefits applications running in a disconnected mode, Adobe said. Improved socket support in AIR 2 enables development of local servers and lightweight P2P applications. Adobe at some point plans to enable AIR to run on devices.

Restoring trust: Global action for transparency Next IACC theme announced 14th IACC, Apathy, Civil Society, Corruption, Financial Crisis, Trust With the first decade of the new millennium drawing to a close, transparency now has a place on global, regional and national agendas. It has become fashionable for political candidates to campaign on anti-corruption and good governance platforms. International agreements have been ratified and international firms progressively adopt compliance and oversight programmes. Yet trust in institutions on which our future depends has eroded. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the challenges threatening the livelihood of populations across the world have increased while hope for greater social justice has faded: Efforts to reduce poverty and to deliver on promises for sustainable development, human security, curbing illicit trade and climate control have not yet resulted in positive change. Around the world, headlines showcase the continued...

After years of fretting over coming shortages, the country is actually facing a dwindling number of young people entering engineering and technology-related fields. Universities call it “rikei banare,” or “flight from science.” The decline is growing so drastic that industry has begun advertising campaigns intended to make engineering look sexy and cool, and companies are slowly starting to import foreign workers, or sending jobs to where the engineers are, in Vietnam and India. It was engineering prowess that lifted this nation from postwar defeat to economic superpower. But according to educators, executives and young Japanese themselves, the young here are behaving more like Americans: choosing better-paying fields like finance and medicine, or more purely creative careers, like the arts, rather than following their salaryman fathers into the unglamorous world of manufacturing. The problem did not catch Japan by surprise. The first signs of declining interest among the young in...

ケネス・トンプソン (Kenneth Thompson, 1943年- ) は、UNIXのオリジナルの開発者の一人である。 アメリカ合衆国のルイジアナ州、ニューオリンズで生まれ、カリフォルニア大学バークレイ校で電子工学博士を取得する。 1969年にはベル研究所にて、デニス・リッチーとともに、UNIXオペレーティングシステムを作成。また初期のUNIXに標準で搭載されていたエディタedや、B言語を開発したことで知られている。ちなみにC言語はデニス・リッチーにより作られたが、B言語を元としている。 1995年に発表されたオープンソース版の分散システム用オペレーティングシステムであるPlan 9に携わっており、この開発においてはUTF-8 文字コードの開発を行った。 J.H.コンドンと共に、Belleというチェス・コンピュータの開発に携わり、4~5(現在6)手詰めの、エンドゲームのエミュレーションプログラムを書いた。これらのテーブルベースを使うことで、チェスのプログラムは、一度テーブルベースに保存された局面に到達すれば、完璧にゲームを進めることができた。 1983年にはリッチーと共にチューリング賞を受賞。受賞理由は「オペレーティングシステム、特にUNIXオペレーティングシステムの開発手法の確立に対する貢献」 (英文:"for their development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating system") 。 2000年12月1日にベル研究所を去り、2006年まではEntrisphere, Incに、現在はgoogleに所属。
