Unfortunately several of the most popular PHP based platforms will be stuck using PHP 5.9 or older for some time. Magento just recently in version 1.9 added support for PHP 5.6. There are still an allarming number of Drupal 6 based sites out there in large scale production that have trouble supporting PHP > 5.4

The recent releases of Magento 2.0 and Drupal 8.0 should help move more sites to modern versions of PHP, but there is a lot of work still to be done on contrib modules to get full functionality out of M2 and D8

I would like to make a point that a very nice thing about the Drupal community is a lack of paid modules. There is a conscious effort to either open source or custom develop. There are not very many "paid extensions." The community seems a lot more focused on creating low level tools that you can use to build a finished product.

This is in part due to the relative complexity of setup. You do not get your grandma performing a one click install of Drupal and then spending $40 on a theme and buying an extension or two from a marketplace.

The focus on earning money with Drupal really seems to be in being a good developer and knowing how to use the thousands of opensource tools that are available to Drupal. You do not see people cranking out apps or modules for drupal and selling them in a marketplace. This really sets it apart from it's php cousins Magento and Wordpress.

When will insurance companies realize the risk reductions of self driving cars and begin lowering their rates and raising the rates of manually driven cars. I think that this will be the biggest market driver for this technology. Eventually insurance rates will push people into self driving smart cars.

The world needs another linux distro like it needs a plague.

thank you for sharing. i like the design and will be checking this out.

After a new controller came into our company we conducted an audit of all existing expenses. Turns out we were paying $277 a month for multiple full color Yellow page listings. The owners set these up well before we had a marketing department and just kept paying for years. We did not even have a copy of the Yellow pages in our building to see what our ad looked like. We have since cut this ad to the most basic listing, but are stuck paying the high rate until the new book is published in February 2016.

My point is that this is how they are still making money, thousands of business customers that are just used to paying them forever.

This camera is not only doing bracketing, it is simultaneously capturing multiple images at multiple focal lengths and exposures. It is then stitching this data in software to make composite images that can be re-focused, re-zoomed and change depth of field after an image is composed.

They are calling it the first multi-aperture computational camera.

edit: Just discussed this some around the coffee pot, that the real value of this tech will be in new cell phones 2-3 generations down the road. I then saw this press release about light.co and Foxconn. they have already licensed this tech. http://spot.light.co/light-partners-with-foxconn/

I kind of like the design for design sake, but definitely think it could use a diet. I would excuse the thickness and weight if this was a cheap phone. I would by this in a heartbeat for $100 USD but at almost $300 forget it.

A 100 unit break even point is incredible low. Have you read many of the write ups on product based Kickstarter campaigns. From what I have read most break even point are into the 1,000 plus units if you have to account for fabricating molds or dies. Then these mold and dies can only be used fro one project. That is the beauty of 3D printing, laser etc. You have one tool that can be used to fab hundreds of designs or product with no tooling costs.

This makes a great Dual screen desktop background.

The article references recruiting Money Mules. These are typically people hired or coerced into using cloned bank cards to withdraw cash from ATMs.

Do you think think that your user base is a little more health aware than the average population? I would expect that someone using your site is going to be more self aware, affluent and health conscious than the average that the CDC is polling. For example, how many single hispanic mothers or black senior citizens use exist.io?

  " I read somewhere brain ignores about 2-3 hours of visual data a day."

I imagine that is mostly due to PowerPoint and meaningless dashboards.

Just a quick suggestion as the husband of a woman who does not like tracking her fitness by pounds. She is always more concerned with which size dress she can fit into. Maybe it would be good to have a conversion mechanism from inches to dress size.

For reference, previous Magento release downloads did not include critical security patches and could easily result in new installations being quickly compromised.

This appears to be a fairly big update fixing a number of security vulnerabilities and a bunch of longtime bugs / sloppiness.

I was just going to point out the mobile app factor. Looking only at Google does not count search on App stores.

Has anyone considered a tax season effect on these results? I used to work for a computer manufacturer that also did re-seller / refurbishing of used computers. December was always when the seasonal tax preparation companies (Jackson Hewitt Liberty Tax), would pop up buying loads of cheap semi-reliable used systems. These tax preparers would then rent whatever cheap strip mall space was available, stick 20 PCs and a few used HP laser printers and connect them all to a decent terminal server.

The small company I worked for would sell a couple hundred of these tax prep systems a year just locally, multiply this out across the US and this could be a correlation. Many of these systems get reloaded, updated and then pulled back off the web to be resold after tax season. On company we sold them to would even let people use a part of their return to buy one of the systems.

Carriers pre-populate iOS 8 phones to automatically connect to their wifi signals. This hack involves spoofing official AT&T and Sprint wifi hot spots that the carrier has forced you to trust.

One extra note for those who may run their Magento install on a shared host. You will likely not be able to use the patch as is. It is distributed as .sh file that requires SSH and permissions that are not available on most shared hosts. This is a serious shortfall of this patching method. You should create a trouble ticket with support and they should be able to run the patch scripts for you.

Admin and developer of two Magento based sites here.

Magento has just started posting notifications of these vulnerabilities in their notification center. They sent two messages. One on April 16 and another on April 19. See images of message here http://imgur.com/a/edVGy they did inform us that a press release with the vulnerability was coming.

That said I am annoyed that the patch was from February 2015 and October 2014. If you do not go to this page https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/downloads/magento/ on a regular basis there is no way that I know of to get same day notification of new patches.

If it was called the fix it never would have made it to page 1

Have you walked into the average engineering classroom? I remember my EE class had 90% male population. We were not exactly the coolest or most attractive looking group of guys. I think being grateful to finally meet someone that likes us plays a little role.

More seriously, people with engineering backgrounds tend to be analytic and may have made more logical choices prior to marriage, that result in longer lasting relationships. I think that that problem solving mentality could also contribute.

hehe i see what you did there

Ah the nostalgia. In 1999 I was a sophomore in college and built my first PC that was all my own. I used the legendary Abit BP6 Motherboard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABIT_BP6 I had a pair of Socket 370 Celeron 366a processors overclocked to 100mhz, which made the system think it had a pair of P3 550mhz cpus.

BeOS was a great OS for experimenting SMP. The CPU monitor in the video would show you the loads for each CPU and you could click the left side to toggle a CPU on and off. You could immediately see frame rates drop and the remaining cpu's usage spike.

Keep in mind that $30K for 85KWh is pre-gigafactory and is also for a vehicle. There are many more safety factors involved in making a battery that is going to moving around at 70mph. Much of the cost of the vehicle based batteries, may be able to be skipped, if you are not as concerned with mobile safety and weight.
