Public outrage? Seems to work.
National
Encryption Policy draft withdrawn: 13 things to know
For my IT Governance and Data Management students.
Getting
Data Governance Right
… The emergence
of the chief data officer and director of data governance
positions is a testament to that. The data governance and master
data management (MDM) market is approximately 10 years young, yet
organizations are restructuring internally and changing the way they
do business, by leveraging data to gain a competitive advantage
within their marketplaces.

The new
version of Office is a huge shift for Microsoft — here's why
Today, Microsoft Office 2016 comes out for Windows
7 and later, bringing with it a slew of new capabilities and
features.
… Microsoft is making it clear that it's going
to keep releasing tiny updates and experimental apps on an ongoing
basis. This, combined with the way Microsoft has priced it, means it
makes more sense to subscribe Office 365 — and get updates like
Office 2016 for free — than it does to buy the new packaged
product.
Office is irrelevant. Long live Office 365.
… The new Word 2016 lets users collaborate
with each other directly from within the document, Google Apps-style.
Meanwhile, a new integration with Skype for Business in all of the
desktop Office apps means that it's a lot easier to stream your
screen to a colleague or just start a video chat.
… You can get Microsoft Office 2016 for
Windows and Mac as one-time, boxed software releases just as you've
always bought them if you really want to. The Home & Student
edition is $149, and Home & Business is $229.
But for their $6.99-plus a month, Office 365
subscribers can get the full versions of Microsoft Office 2016 for
the desktop right now, plus the promise of these rolling upgrades,
for as long as you keep paying.
I gotta get me some students like these!
What
started as a class project at Harvard just raised $110 million from
Fidelity, Google, and Microsoft
It didn’t take too long for CloudFlare
cofounders Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn to realize they were on
to something big when they launched their startup as
a class project at Harvard Business School.
CloudFlare, a web performance and security
startup, was seeing quick traction after winning the Harvard Business
School’s Business Plan Contest that year. What had initially
started out as a class project to get course credit was turning into
a real business that VCs were lining up to invest in.
… CloudFlare is now one of the fastest growing
startups in the world with a valuation well-north of a billion
dollars.
… CloudFlare basically works as a “digital
bouncer” in that it filters all the internet traffic before it
reaches its customers’ websites. It can clean that traffic,
identifying the good ones and bad ones, and accelerate traffic to the
most efficient route.
Its service ranges from routing and switching that
helps computers connect to the web, all the way up to load balancing
and performance acceleration that helps make sure servers don’t get
overloaded and makes websites run faster. And best of all, it
doesn’t cost as much as some of the services from established
companies, making its technology available to a lot of small and
medium sized businesses as well.
So stupid it's brilliant!
Say hello
to yourself while eating with the first selfie spoon
Finally, it’s here, the selfie accessory no
one’s been waiting for.
In a promotional stunt for Cinnamon Toast Crunch
cereal, maker Great Mills has launched the Selfie Spoon that helps
you take a photo of yourself eating your first meal of the day.
Because you really want to do that.
With
tongue so firmly in cheek it’s at risk of causing painful bruising,
the selfie spoon, as its name suggests, is basically a selfie stick
with a spoon on the end.
To be clear – this is a
real device and can be yours for the cost of shipping and
handling (that’s right, the Selfie Spoon itself is free).
For all my students. You don't need them all, but
some you use frequently can be real time savers.
