Buy Me An iPhone: Microsoft Surface vs iPad Commercial: Baseball

Here?s the newest commercial Microsoft has released pitting it?s operating system against iOS for the iPad. It?s a pretty bad attempt to draw attention to Windows 8 and it?s mult-itasking capabilities. I don?t know about you but I rarely find myself scouting baseball talent or doing much multi-tasking while using my iPad. But what do you think? Is this a plausible weakness of the iPad?

University Of Aberdeen Speeds Up Future Research with Dell

?

?

  • University of Aberdeen consolidates research computing systems into one central environment for simplified management and increased compute power
  • High Performance Computer cluster supports improved collaboration across research departments
  • Improved scalability allows University to plan for future research projects

The University of Aberdeen has introduced a new high performance computer (HPC) cluster from Dell to consolidate and help simplify the management of individual department research IT systems. This new infrastructure will encourage cross-discipline collaboration with the ultimate goal of generating fresh research ideas and creating new opportunities for scientific breakthrough.

The University of Aberdeen has a strong legacy of pioneering research and has four principal interdisciplinary focus themes: Energy, The North, Environment & Food Security and Pathways to Healthy Living. To expand its research potential and drive standards higher than ever before, the University needed an IT system that would offer compute power to support large amounts of data and complex simulations.

Dr Brian Robertson, Head of Infrastructure Management, University of Aberdeen comments: ?Our main aim of the project is to free researchers from the burden of system management and provide a computational service backed by a dedicated team of IT professionals. Researchers will have more time to carry out their research rather than dealing with more mundane administrative issues. The new cluster will also open up potential for research projects across departments and encourage more collaboration to spark new and exciting opportunities.?

The new HPC cluster, named ?Maxwell? after the eminent Scottish physicist, was implemented with the help of Dell and Alces Software to consolidate all research computing systems used across the University?s many departments. This meant decommissioning its existing disparate clusters, some of which were nearing end of life, and moving the workloads onto one central cluster that is managed by a dedicated IT team who are on hand to help the researchers utilise the HPC as efficiently and cost effectively as possible and enables different departments to analyse large volumes of data much faster than the previous set-up.

Maxwell is built on PowerEdge C6220 servers, PowerVault MD3200 and MD1200 storage as well as PowerConnect 6248 networking switches, providing a very scalable environment which allows academics from all departments to run a variety of computational work in a unified environment. The scalability of the HPC is vital for the University as it looks to increase the amount of research carried out at the institution, relying on the new system to continue to support growth into the future.

Quotes

?As a university that is known for its outstanding research, is it vital that we have top class IT systems which can cope with rapidly growing volumes of data and increasing complexity of computational tasks. Through our work with Dell and Alces Software, we have introduced an HPC environment that offers the level of compute power needed to analyse data much faster than was previously possible.? - Dr Brian Robertson, Head of Infrastructure Management, University of Aberdeen.

?Successful research and innovation are the lifeblood of our UK economy, and Dell is thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the University of Aberdeen to design a cost effective high performance computing environment, focused on helping the University?s Research teams with both their computational analysis and cost effectively managing the associated research data for future use. We look forward to supporting this environment and the University?s research community going forward. This customer-centric approach is something that we?re very proud of ? the right IT solution is essential to helping Universities, other Public Sector bodies and companies of all sizes and sectors grow and be successful.? ? Claire Vyvyan, general manager & executive director, Public Sector, Dell UK.

Two injured in explosions at sacred Buddhist site in India

Home ? breakingnews ? Two injured in explosions at sacred Buddhist site in India


July 7, 2013 3:21 pm

The explosions at the Mahabodhi temple complex in Bihar state were of low intensity and there was no damage to the shrine, senior police official SK Bhardwaj said.

Two live bombs found near the temple were defused.

"We can confirm that it was a terrorist attack but for security reasons we cannot disclose groups we suspect," Bhardwaj by phone from state capital Patna.

The locale is key pilgrimage site where Gautama Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment more than 2,500 years ago.

"A Burmese monk and a local were injured in the explosions that took place at about 5:30 am," Bodhgaya Temple Committee secretary M Dorji told broadcaster NDTV.

"There is no damage to the holy Bodhi tree and its enclosure, no damage to the main temple, nor the statues or any structures," he said.

Dorji said there were few devotees inside the temple during the off-season. The main pilgrimage begins two months later.

"We were doing our daily rituals in the temple when we heard a big explosion," a witness told NDTV.//DPA

5 Military Officials Accused of Assisting BLO Ordered Released From Prison

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat


Today Judge Raul Valerio Ramirez ?ordered the immediate release of Gen. Roberto Dawe, Gen. Ricardo Escorcia, Gen. Ruben Perez, Lt. Col Silvio Hernandez and Maj. Ivan Reyna from the federal criminal Altiplano in Almoloya, in the State of Mexico, where they have been held in the maximum prison since their arrest last year.? The charges were dropped against the men due to a lack of evidence.?? First it was ?Tomas Angeles Dauahare, the Mexican General accused by ?Jennifer? and ?Mateo? protected witnesses, of protecting the Beltran Leyva Cartel. Based on information?provided by? the protected witnesses, the general was imprisoned. ?Then in January of this year in an unprecedented move, the PGR issued this finding; "With respect to defendant Tomas Angeles Dauahare, the statements of the collaborating protected witnesses have not been corroborated by any probative means, except for the fact that the accused was a public servant in the National Defense Secretariat (Sedena: Secretaria de Defensa Nacional), without having any proof to date to confirm the statements by 'Jennifer' and 'Mateo'", says the court document numbered DGCPPAMDO/707/2013 from the PGR. Due to the fact there was no evidence to prove the claims of the two protected witnesses, the general was released from prison in April. One of the witnesses has the code name ?Mateo?.? Mateo (photo above) ?is in reality Sergio Enrique Villarreal Barrag?n, a.k.a. ?El Grande?, of the Beltran Leyva cartel. Villarreal was once a federal police officer stationed in Nuevo Laredo, defected and worked with the Juarez Cartel, subsequently moving to CDG, eventually worked with ?Beltran Leyva as a lieutenant.? Villarreal was arrested by the Mexican Marines in 2010 and extradited to the US, in May of 2012. "Jennifer" and "Mateo", code name for "El Grande", stated on several occasions that Angeles Dauahare helped Edgar Valdez Villarreal, "La Barbie", gain military protection while trafficking cocaine via aircraft in ?Cancun, Toluca and Cuernavaca airports. The other witness is yet to be officially identified but who was the key accuser in the case against former drug czar Noe Ramirez Mandujano. Ramirez Mandujano was also released in April after a judge determined witnesses had given contrived testimony and prosecutors had manufactured evidence. All charges against the five men released on Thursday stemmed from information provided by ?Mateo? and ?Jennifer?.? No substantiating evidence could be found to support the claims.
