Long before ‘big data’ became the technology buzzword of 2012, retail networks have been among the pioneers in dealing with the large amounts of data that is produced by their supply chain and their point of sale systems. Recognizing the richness and immense value of their data, heavy IT infrastructure investments have, in many cases, been made. However, to date, the limitations and cost of the required infrastructure has left the reality far behind ambition and promise. This is particularly true for the richest retail data source, which also dwarfs all others in size: receipts generated by point of sale systems. Collecting and processing receipts of hundreds or even thousands of stores has remained a daunting, and very expensive, task. What about running a large retail network on a smartphone instead?

Face à une profusion d'informations de plus en plus hétérogènes et de moins en moins structurées, un des enjeux majeurs pour l'ensemble des acteurs économiques dans les dix ans à venir sera leur capacité à exploiter, analyser et transformer en valeur ces avalanches de données produites, et ce, si possible, en temps réel.

Apple has only had one tablet that could legitimately be considered a rival: The Kindle Fire. When it launched, there was great buzz about the product and the price. Well, seven months later, the interest in the Fire is gone. ChangeWave research released its most recent data on interest in the Kindle Fire, and as you can see, just 8% of people polled say they will buy one in the next three months. That's down from 22% when the Fire launched. The iPad, meanwhile, is at 73%.

Android makes up the majority of the smartphone market right now, but that might start to change if recent sales growth trends continue.
The number of new users who purchased an Android smartphone steadily declined throughout the first four months of this year, according to an analysis of recent comScore data by Asymco's Horace Dediu. In fact, Android net user growth in April hit its lowest point for any month since 2009. By comparison, the iPhone's monthly user growth rate has remained about as strong as ever.

Although the NFC contactless technology underpins many mobile money projects, some key players believe its role is being overhyped. Apple may be of that opinion, according to one analyst, who believes the firm's upcoming iWallet will use Bluetooth instead of NFC.

Two key members of the Facebook team that created the Hadoop query language Hive are launching their own big data startup called Qubole on Thursday. Co-founders Ashish Thusoo and Joydeep Sen Sarma are taking that experience to provide a managed version of Hive that’s hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud computing infrastructure.
The founders know from whence they speak when it comes to Hadoop and Hive, which is a framework and associated query language that sits above Hadoop and turns into something resembling a traditional SQL-based data warehouse. Both worked at Facebook from 2007 through 2011 and held senior positions on the data infrastructure team, where they played major roles in creating Hive and scaling Facebook’s Hadoop cluster to 25 petabytes of compressed data (it’s now up past 30 petabytes). Thusoo also spent a year as the project lead for Hive with the Apache Software Foundation.

In which languages are internet passwords easiest to crack?
DESPITE entreaties not to, many people choose rather predictable passwords to protect themselves online. "12345"; "password"; and the like are easy to remember but also easy for attackers to guess, especially with programs that automate the process using lists ("dictionaries") of common choices. Cambridge University computer scientist Joseph Bonneau has recently published an analysis of the passwords chosen by almost 70m (anonymised) Yahoo! users. One interesting result is shown below. The chart shows what percentage of accounts could be cracked after 1,000 attempts using such a dictionary. Amateur linguists can have fun speculating on why the Chinese do so well and the Indonesians do not. But one particularly interesting twist is how little difference using language-specific dictionaries makes. It is possible to crack roughly 4% of Chinese accounts using a Chinese dictionary; using a generic dictionary containing the most common terms from many languages, that figure drops only slightly, to 2.9%. Speakers of every language, it seems, have fairly similar preferences.
