Google Fiber ordered to halve staff as Larry Page orders huge costs cut: report
25 Aug 2016 | 5:38 pmThe mystery around what’s happening with Google Fiber just deepened. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has reportedly directed Google Fiber to cut its staff in half. Already, Google Fiber has put rollout plans on hold in San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto and every other location where it announced intentions to provide the ultra-high-speed internet service but hasn’t obtained access to existing fiber cable or started putting in its own. A source close to the situation told the Mercury News that Google Fiber was exploring alternatives involving wireless internet delivery. Google and Alphabet have kept fairly quiet about the on-again, off-again status of Google Fiber in Silicon Valley and other areas around... -
Rules? What rules? Huge gap between parents and teens on digital guidelines
25 Aug 2016 | 3:53 pmThis shouldn’t come as a big surprise: There is a gap between teenagers and parents over their understanding of family rules about being online, according to a new study by the National Cyber Security Alliance. The findings should be bracing for any parent who struggles to figure out social norms for teen’s technology use. There aren’t any, it seems. Most teens are engaged in some online activities that their parents don’t know about and that parents think they have explicitly prohibited. A few nuggets: <ul> <li>60 percent of teens say they have created accounts that their parents were unaware of, such as on social media sites or for apps they wanted to use.</li> <li>Just 13 percent of online teens say that their parents...</li></ul> -
Lawsuit slams Twitter, Hey over game that lets players ‘buy’ each other
25 Aug 2016 | 3:46 pmThe next time you hop on your iPhone for a little online shopping, why not add Elon Musk to your shopping cart? Or perhaps purchasing Kim Kardashian is more your speed? For a passive-aggressive gesture after a bad day at the office, feel free to go ahead and buy your boss. A lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court in San Francisco accuses Twitter and local startup Hey of illegally allowing players of an online game to buy the Twitter profiles of real-life people, accumulating them like trophies or baseball cards. “Hey never notifies or seeks consent from the tens of thousands of people featured in the app,” the lawyers wrote. “Indeed, Hey knows that the vast majority of the public disapproves of its app... -

Well, take a drive out 580 East and when you get to Pleasanton, look over to your right. There it is. You’ll see its name on the side of a building that’s sort of in the area near the Stoneridge Mall. And while you’re out there, might as well swing by the Cheesecake Factory and pick up something for the kids at home. But back to Workday. If you haven’t heard of them, don’t feel bad. They don’t make cool smartphones. They don’t make cool electric cars. And they don’t offer the cool ride-sharing apps that you can use on your cool smartphone so that you can get a ride in a (hopefully cool) car within...

Settlers of Catan Settlers of Catan was one of the first European games to gain popularity in the U.S., and has been called “the board game of our time" by the Washington Post.

Cybersecurity Costs - An Unsustainable Tax On Business
4 Aug 2016 | 12:40 pmThe cost of cybersecurity has become a burdensome tax on business and with 1.5 million IT security jobs unfilled, US corporations are losing to sophisticated criminal gangs, said security experts at a recent event in San Francisco. "Cyber is a tax on business. Jamie Dimon [JP Morgan Chase CEO] has had to double his cybersecurity budget to $500 million. Things can't continue this way forever, we have to get ahead of the problem," said Ray Rothrock (photo), a veteran VC, now chairman and CEO of RedSeal, a startup that measures the effectiveness of enterprise security. -

Sep 19, 2016: How can technical writers thrive in agile environments?
22 Aug 2016 | 8:28 amMost engineers in IT departments follow an agile scrum process: they track issues in sprints, assign and scope story points, meet daily to provide short updates on their work, and release updates every 2-3 weeks. Technical writers who work with engineers usually find that being productive requires them to become familiar with the engineer’s agile scrum workflow. Whether you want to keep abreast of engineering work, factor in time for doc reviews during the sprint, or have documentation be managed like other IT work, you need to know how to integrate or work with the agile scrum workflow. In this chapter meeting, we will have a panel discussion about how technical writers can thrive in agile environments.... -

VIDEO: VINOD DHAM ON TECHNOLOGY & COMING TO AMERICA
25 Aug 2016 | 8:38 pmEver wondered how Vinod Dham got the moniker “The Father of The Pentium Chip?” Well, we did and got an opportunity to talk to Dham on how he got this moniker. We were also curious to find out how he developed his interest in science and technology. What brought him to America? How did come to Silicon Valley in the 1970s to work at Intel and eventually in other hardware companies? After graduating from Delhi School of Engineering in India, Dham worked for a hardware company in Delhi before coming to America for his graduate studies in the Midwest. He had to buy a map from Connaught Place to find out where exactly his university was located in America. His first job in America was at NCR, a... -
What I Learned from Complaining on the Internet
25 Aug 2016 | 8:25 pmIt’s been a week since I wrote My Life in Silicon Valley and it’s still getting hits. Before that, my most popular blog post was the intentionally clickbaity Fantasy Quidditch is Dead. It got just under three hundred hits in two days, with the occasional reader or two later on. It was a very exciting time; I learned that being provocative but backing it up with good content could work for me with the right audience. #MyLifeInSiliconValley, on the other hand, is still getting eyeballs on it. Over sixteen hundred pairs and counting: Am I posting this to brag? Maybe a little, but mostly I’m just floored by the volume and variety of responses I got.

Why Tech Companies Should Pay Attention to North Carolina's Senate Race
25 Aug 2016 | 12:35 pmA U.S. senator seen by Silicon Valley as one of the technology industry’s main foes in Congress is fighting for his political life as Donald Trump’s slumping poll numbers threaten to damage Republican candidates across the board. Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is facing a strong and unexpected challenge from Deborah Ross (D-N.C.). Though tech policy is unlikely to decide the race, a Burr defeat would remove from the scene a lawmaker who has feuded with U.S. tech companies over digital privacy and encryption. Ross, a former head of the state’s chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, is fighting an uphill battle. North Carolina has voted Republican in... -
The 25 Hottest Cities for Startups
25 Aug 2016 | 10:36 amAustin is the city of hipsters, food trucks and the South by Southwest festival, but it’s also the most vibrant place to start a business in the U.S., according to a report out Thursday from the Kauffman Foundation, which analyzes new business activity in 40 of the largest metro regions nationally. Austin has topped Kauffman’s list for the past two years. It is joined this year by Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas, which rank as the top five places for startups.

Facebook Prepares To Launch Into Space
25 Aug 2016 | 8:22 amMENLO PARK (CBS SF) – Traditionally when a digital company is anxiously awaiting a launch it has to do with a new product, piece of software, website or service. So to hear that the executives at the Menlo Park-based social media giant Facebook are nervously awaiting the launch of a new product of sorts next week would not seem to be out of the ordinary. But this is a very special launch — literally an out of this world launch. As part of collaboration with Eutelsat, a new satellite called AMOS-6 is being prepared to launch Facebook’s first satellite into orbit on Sept. 3. The satellite will be propelled into space from Cape Canaveral on a booster rocket built by Elon Musk’s SpaceX...

Virtual Route Scouts Update: Safe Routes to Work, to School, and to Run Errands
10 Aug 2016 | 4:50 pmThis spring, SVBC launched the Virtual Bike Route Scouts program to answer a common question – “How can I get there on my bike?” Since April, that question has been answered by Route Scout volunteers to more than 300 people, finding ways for people to use their bikes to get to work, school, and to run errands. Route Scout volunteers provide not only turn-by-turn directions, but also share helpful tips like, “Beware of the transition from the street to the sidewalk on the east side of the Downing Avenue bridge – it’s not particularly smooth – the curb is maybe an inch or two above the pavement.” (thanks, Lloyd!). It’s this type of personal advice that can help people feel confident when... -
