Video: Schmidt claims Android is more secure than iOS, laughter ensues

Google chairman Eric Schmidt drew big laughs at the?Gartner Symposium/ITxpo this week but it most likely wasn?t on purpose. ZDNet reports that Schmidt told attendees are Gartner?s big IT conference that Android is ?more secure than the iPhone,? which prompted laughter from the crowd. ZDNet also reports that Schmidt speculated that ?in the distant future there would be an assumption that nothing is secure and that security will be devised on a per app basis for each user,? which probably wasn?t much comfort to the IT professionals in the audience.

While concerns about Android?s security are often overblown, it is true that the platform has become a magnet for hackers who want to seed their malware across users? mobile devices. A study released by security firm F-Secure this year found that 79% of all mobile malware discovered targeted Android devices while McAfee said that it discovered more than 14,000 Android-related threats in the first quarter of 2013 alone. What?s more, mobile security vendor NQ estimates that Android malware infections tripled between 2011 and 2012, growing to a whopping 32.8 million devices last year.

A video of Schmidt follows below, although the audio doesn?t pick up on the laughter that ZDNet and other publications reported.

Google, SAP, Cisco Express Interest in For-Sale BlackBerry: Report

Google, SAP and Cisco are reportedly interested in BlackBerry, which has until Nov. 4 to walk away from its $4.7 billion deal with Fairfax.

Ailing smartphone maker BlackBerry has a new group of suitors. Google, SAP and Cisco Systems are in talks with Canada's most famous tech company about buying parts of its business or the entire company outright, Reuters reported Oct. 4. In August, following an extensive "strategic review" conducted by several outside financial advising companies, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins announced that the company was open to "strategic alternatives," which could include partnerships, a sale of the company or other options. After what publically appeared to be very little response, BlackBerry announced roughly a month later that it had signed a letter of intent with a consortium led by Fairfax Financial Holdings, BlackBerry's largest shareholder, which is prepared to pay $4.7 billion for the company. The terms of the deal state that the consortium has until Nov. 4 to perform due diligence, and during that time, BlackBerry can continue to shop itself around. "It would not be surprising that a variety of companies may be kicking the tires, given the drop in BlackBerry's market value and its unique collection of enterprise-focused assets," Gartner Principal Research Analyst Bill Menezes told eWEEK, adding that to his knowledge, Fairfax is the only company to have confirmed its interest. A number of analysts have called the Fairfax offer ideal, in that it would allow BlackBerry to privately regroup and in all likelihood emerge smaller and more focused but solid. Ken Hyers, a senior analyst with Strategy Analytics, said there have always been two scenarios for BlackBerry: the above one, in which it privately regroups and re-emerges, or being broken up into parts. "The second path assumes that BlackBerry 's smartphone business cannot be turned around and that the segments of the company such as BES [BlackBerry Enterprise Server], its patents and its remaining base of customers are more valuable individually than the sum of their parts," Hyers told eWEEK. The company has a responsibility to its shareholders to explore all options that might deliver the most value, Hyers added. That said, he added, "A breakup would be a real shame for BlackBerry, but it would result in parts of the company, particularly BlackBerry's secure email service, living on somewhere else, and would guarantee some of its employees finding jobs at other stable companies." BlackBerry is essentially three businesses, Devices, Enterprise Services (BES) and Social Services (BBM), analyst Jack Gold, with J. Gold Associates, pointed out in an Oct. 7 research note, in which he offered a rundown of what each might be after (while also noting that the three companies' interest is still speculated). Cisco, which has previously failed to offer hardware, could be interested in BlackBerry's secure network environment, adding it on to its WebEx social network, to make it more secure for enterprises, or they could go after BBM, said Gold. "Although I don't see them wanting to maintain the large consumer users base, but rather redirect it towards the enterprise users (again, adding to its existing social networks product base)," he wrote. SAP could be interested in one of two things, Gold continued. The first is BlackBerry's patent portfolio, and the second is BBM, "which SAP could attach/integrate to its 365 unit, which sends huge numbers of text messages every day and includes a financial services piece ... that could clearly benefit from the security built into BBM." As for Google, it could benefit from BlackBerry's patent portfolio; from its BBM network, "which offers a potential monetization engine that Google could leverage," or it could fold BlackBerry's handset division into Motorola. The bottom line, he added, is that none of these companies are likely to buy BlackBerry and run it as a whole. "I'm still of the opinion," Gold concluded, "that the Fairfax deal could be the best way forward for BlackBerry." Follow Michelle Maisto on Twitter.

Apple iPhone 5s vs HTC One

Introduction


Crazy to believe that the HTC One has been making the rounds since the early portion of this year, which seems oh so long ago in the smartphone universe. In that time alone, it has seen many rivals and flagships test it to its limits, some better than others of course, but for the most part, it continues to be one of the darlings in the Android sphere. Well folks, it?s up for yet another challenge, as the newly launched iPhone 5s is aiming to put the aging smartphone in its place. Or will HTC?s gem continue to be a formidable competitor?

Design


When we think about timeless designs, these two smartphone are no doubt the epitome of them, mainly because they exhibit all the quality elements we want to find in a flagship device. Obviously, we all know by now that the iPhone 5s recycles its design from its predecessor, so it?s nothing particularly new in the landscape, but regardless of that, it still has a solid build quality and employs premium cut materials to make it a standout contender. As for the HTC One, we also know it?s one of the best looking Android smartphone in recent memory, thanks to its unibody aluminum construction and sturdiness.

Even though they share designs that are industrial and meticulous, the size difference between the two is apparent, as the iPhone 5s is far more compact to hold in the hand ? then again, the curved rear casing of the HTC One makes it feel a teeny bit more natural to grasp. Honestly, it?s hard to say which one we actually prefer, but one thing?s certain, they?re utterly gorgeous in every way imaginable!

Mainly because they?re just more pronounced and responsive, we prefer the physical power and volume buttons on the iPhone 5s ? it?s just too indistinct with the HTC One?s set of buttons. So what are some other notable aspects with their designs? For starters, the HTC One wields dual front-firing speakers with HTC BoomSound, an IR blaster is incorporated into its power button to turn it into a universal remote, and it features Beats Audio support. As for its rival in the iPhone 5s, its home button incorporates a biometric Touch ID finger print sensor that adds yet another level of security for users.

Display


It?s only natural to find yet another size disparity with their screens, right? On one side, we have the larger 4.7-inch 1080p S-LCD 3 display of the HTC One, which shows its detail superiority when we view its screen up close and personal. And on the other, a smaller 4-inch 640 x 1136 IPS-LCD based Retina Display on the iPhone 5s, which interestingly enough, is the same identical screen on the iPhone 5 before it.They?re among the best out there for outdoor visibility, but our eyes visibly makes out the brighter display of the Apple iPhone 5s ? making it far easier to view outdoors with the sun present. Seriously though, it?s still pretty darn good on the HTC One, but its display is a little dimmer than its rival, plus, it?s a bit more reflective too. In terms of color reproduction, we really can?t complain about the two, as they?re comparable to one another with their near-perfect color accuracy, but if you are color purist, you will notice that the iPhone 5s has the more accurate color reproduction. Still, the larger and higher resolution display of the HTC One seems to be more appealing in this day and age when bigger screens rule the atmosphere.

How does the US Treasury payment system work ? can they simply reprioritise payments if the debt ceiling is not raised?

Here?s a long piece from FTAlphaville. It may require (free) registration to read.

It looks at the question of whether, in the event of the debt ceiling not being raised, prioritising interest and principal payments on Treasuries is possible in order to avoid default.

  • The US Treasury department has emphasised the logistical complexity as much as the legal and political dubiousness of prioritizing payments

the government?s payment system ?is sprawling. It involves multiple agencies. It involves multiple interacting computer systems. And all of them are designed for only one thing: To pay all bills on time. The technological challenge of trying to adapt that to some other system would be very daunting and I suspect that if we were forced into a mode like that the results would be riddled with all kinds of errors.?

  • Treasury makes more than 80 million payments per month
  • Its systems are designed to make each payment in the order it comes due
  • Its not clear how well discontinuing some payments while making others would work in practice, if at all

Raise your hand if you know how the Treasury?s payment systems work? Anyone?
