Even if you say he is no longer the speaker, at least he is still a legislator.....or is it that he has been suspended all together by the police?

The facts of the matter, Court stated unequivocally, Maintain the Status quo, if you cannot understand what that fact means and that they are well established ways of removing people from the national assembly, removing the speaker, declaring seats vacant then you are here spitting arrant nonsense!

I don't think the President is behind this.

I think some people are trying to sabotage the President and paint him in bad light.

What is happening is extremely awful! OBJ never did anything this close despite the fact that there were several attempts at impeaching him.

I smell a script being played out. More like a set up.

The President has to be careful at this time especially with his so-called supporters/handlers from the north.

Science/TechnologyData-center Upstart Grabs Wozniak, Jumps Into Virtual Storage Fight by Descartes(op): 4:10am On Nov 20, 2014
A fresh startup called Primary Data reckons it will reinvent "file virtualization" for software-defined data centers – and thus take on EMC's ViPR and Quantum's StorNext.

Primary Data, cofounded by David Flynn, made the boast as Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak announced he has left Fusion-io to join Flynn at Primary Data as chief scientist.



That's interesting because in 2005 Flynn cofounded server flash card startup Fusion-io, which Wozniak joined in 2009.

In June this year, Fusion-io was bought by SanDisk for $1.1 billion. Flynn and cofounder Rick White had left before the sale, and started up Primary Data in the second half of 2013.

Now Flynn and Woz are back on the same team – and Primary Data is emerging from stealth mode to reveal an outline of what it's developing.


Primary Data's data virtualisation technology
Flynn, Primary Data's CTO, said: "Data virtualization is the inevitable next step for enterprise architectures, as it seamlessly integrates existing infrastructure and the full spectrum of specialized capabilities provided by ultra-performance and ultra-capacity storage resources.”

The technology defines a "data hypervisor" that hides all the storage hardware and software below a global file namespace. There are separate channels for sending and receiving data, and for controlling access to the stored data.

Admins can set policy definitions for placing and moving information, with rules reflecting storage performance, price and protection needs.

The data hypervisor allows clients to dip into the storage systems in a protocol-agnostic way. Primary Data's software does the hard work underneath to provision capacity and keep the bytes in line.

This reminds El Reg of EMC's ViPR-like abstraction layer, and Quantum's StorNext file virtualisation product.

Primary Data's hypervisor can migrate information between file, block and object storage tiers as required. These tiers can be direct-attached storage, network-attached storage, and private and public clouds.

We're told that "a full complement of data services enable seamless linear scalability of both performance and capacity."

The Data Director is the management interface; here's a screenshot of its GUI in operation, which indicates some of the things it can do:

Dell servers and Isilon storage are present in the screenshot above. Customers can plug in extra capacity when needed. It's understood the software can talk file access protocols (CIFS/SMB), block protocols (FC, FCoE, iSCSI), object protocols and cloud APIs.

Will tape actually get a look-in? Primary Data's announcement doesn't specifically mention it. Presumably there'll be support for LTO, if anything. Which interfaces and access protocols Primary Data supports will probably be mediated by business need and opportunity size. Source:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/19/primary_data/

Science/TechnologyTech Divorce: Firefox Dumps Google For Search, Signs On With Yahoo by Descartes(op): 3:32am On Nov 20, 2014
In a major departure for both Mozilla and Yahoo, Firefox's default search engine is switching from Google to Yahoo in the United States.

"I'm thrilled to announce that we've entered into a five-year partnership with Mozilla to make Yahoo the default search experience on Firefox across mobile and desktop," Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer said in a blog post Wednesday. "This is the most significant partnership for Yahoo in five years."

The change will come to Firefox users in the US in December, and later Yahoo will bring that new "clean, modern and immersive search experience" to all Yahoo search users. In another part of the deal, Yahoo will support the Do Not Track technology for Firefox users, meaning that it will respect users' preferences not to be tracked for advertising purposes.

With millions of users who perform about 100 billion searches a year, Firefox is a major source of the search traffic that's Google's bread and butter. Some of those searches produce search ads, and Mozilla has been funded primarily from a portion of that revenue that Google shares. In 2012, the most recent year for which figures are available, that search revenue brought in the lion's share of Mozilla's $311 million in revenue.

Google now has Chrome, though, and it doesn't have to share search-ad revenue from that browser with anybody but itself. Yahoo, meanwhile, has ambitions to reclaim its former prominence in Web search.


Yahoo showed a preview of a revamped search interface that Firefox users in the US will start seeing in December.

"At Yahoo, we believe deeply in search -- it's an area of investment and opportunity for us. It's also a key growth area for us," Mayer said. "This partnership helps to expand our reach in search and gives us an opportunity to work even more closely with Mozilla to find ways to innovate in search, communications and digital content."

Science/TechnologyIntel To Combine PC Unit With Struggling Mobile Chip Division by Descartes(op): 2:08am On Nov 19, 2014
Reorganization comes as the lines dividing consumer electronics devices blur, the chip giant says.
by Steven Musil
@stevenmusil


Intel CEO Brian Krzanich sees lines between mobile devices blurring.
Intel plans to combine its PC and mobile chip groups into one division as the company struggles to expand its chip sales for mobile devices.

The reorganization, which was announced Monday in an email sent to employees by CEO Brian Krzanich, will be implemented early next year, Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said.


"The market continues to evolve rapidly, and we must change even faster to stay ahead," Krzanich said in the email, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Kirk Skaugen, a senior vice president who now oversees Intel's PC Client Group, will lead the newly formed Client Computing Group, Mulloy said. The new division will also include sales of processors and modem chip used in mobile devices, which were previously part of the Mobile and Communications Group.

The mobile group was created in a 2011 reorganization that combined four existing divisions: mobile communications, Netbook and tablet, mobile wireless, and ultra mobility. Mobile group chief Hermann Eul, who joined Intel as part of the chip giant's acquisition of Infineon in 2011, will supervise the transition, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, Mulloy said.


Intended to improve internal communications and efficiency, the structural changes come as the lines separating consumer devices blur, Mulloy said.

"We are seeing a blending of the lines between various devices," Mulloy said in an interview. "The idea is to accelerate our efforts for tablets and create greater efficiency."

Intel dominates PCs and server systems but has struggled when it comes to mobile devices. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company has spent billions of dollars trying to expand its chip sales for mobile devices amid fierce competition from rivals including Qualcomm.


So far, Intel has managed to get its mobile processors or modems into just a handful of notable products, including the Samsung Galaxy Alpha smartphone in Europe and Asia, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet in the US.

Last month, the company reported a better than expected third-quarter profit as PC and server-system sales made up for dismal results in its mobile unit. The division recorded an operating loss of $1 billion during the quarter, compared with a loss of $810 million a year earlier. Revenue shrank to just $1 million, from $353 million a year earlier, as it appears subsidies Intel pays to manufacturers to win new mobile business drained nearly all the mobile unit's revenue for the quarter.

The company has been working to get into tablet computers by offering subsidies to manufacturers, hurting its profit in the process, but Intel has kept pace with its goal of putting its mobile chips in 40 million tablets by year's end.
