  • John Choi, IBM Director of Product Management for Big Data
Big data is a big deal and everyone is talking about it. But do you really understand what big data is? And more importantly, do you know what you can do with it and how you can benefit from it? Companies today are no longer able to survive on traditional historical analysis, internal silos of data, reactive responses and retroactive planning. They need to harness all of the data available to them to maximize value and sustain a competitive advantage. In a recent global survey, over 63% of organizations indicated that the use of information (including big data) and analytics is creating a competitive advantage for their organizations–a 70% increase in the past two years alone. The data you need is there, you just need the right technology to analyze it.

Join us for an informative and engaging discussion with John Choi, IBM Director of Product Management for Big Data. He will share the top use cases for big data and how you can solve similar problems. He will also discuss how your enterprise can reap the benefits of big data, from developing personalized views of your customers to gaining instant awareness of fraud and risk. Plus, he will cover how the latest innovations in the IBM Big Data portfolio, including stream computing and enterprise-grade Hadoop, can help you analyze all available data. Whether you are just getting started or already on your big data journey, this is a webinar you won’t want to miss.

The US National Security Agency learned the hard way that it can be dangerous to give a contractor too much money and access, with too little scrutiny. The NSA and other government agencies hire tens of thousands of contractors a year to analyze data. Edward Snowden -- who revealed himself as the NSA leaker after fleeing the country -- was one such contractor, reportedly holding a $122,000 salaried position at Booz Allen Hamilton at the time of his departure.

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'
4|11|13   |   2:07   |   3 comments

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.

Amazon Revolutionizes Book Publishing
Mansur Hasib
The publishing world has long been controlled by powerful companies with high costs, barriers to access, restrictions on distribution, one-sided copyright ownership contracts, and lengthy delays in getting critical information and knowledge out to a broad audience. In this world it often seemed all but the most famous of authors controlled little while publishers controlled everything. In the academic community, the sad result has been an excessive price increase in the cost of textbooks. Technology is finally empowering authors.
