Hewlett-Packard has announced that former Verizon Wireless SVP and CIO John Hinshaw has agreed to join the company to serve as its executive vice president of Global Technology and Business Processes, a newly created position.

Hinshaw most recently worked at The Boeing Company, where he was vice president and general manager of Boeing Information Solutions. His job there involved delivering information solutions to the U.S. government, among other tasks.

He will report to recently appointed HP chief exec Meg Whitman.

He’ll also join the company’s executive council on November 15.

In addition to Hinshaw’s appointment, HP also announced that it has promoted Craig Flower to senior vice president and CIO (he will report directly to Hinshaw).

Flower, who has been with HP since 1984, will be responsible for ‘data management, application architecture, global business intelligence, sales, and product development and engineering applications’ according to a press statement.

The news comes just days after the announcement of the departure of Phil McKinney, CTO for HP’s Personal Systems Group (its PC division, if you will). McKinney said he would be retiring to advise other companies on innovation.

Another executive, EVP and chief strategy and technology officer Shane Robison, also recently announced that he would be retiring at the beginning of this month.

Whitman has one hell of a job ahead of her trying to turn the giant HP ship around and orchestrate a successful reorganization with a vision that safeguards its future.

As always in times of transitions, expect more executives to join – and leave.

Desktops that are priced under $1000 are often some of the most popular. This is true especially this time of year as parents are starting to make purchases for their children in anticipation for the upcoming school year. I have been lucky enough to get my hands on the HP Pavilion A6120N which falls into this pricing category. I’m going to let you know how it performs for me and if it is worth the investment.

Hardware:

Processor: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 dual-core

Storage Space: 320 GB Serial ATA hard drive

RAM: 2 GB of RAM (upgradable to a 4 GB maximum)

Optical Drive: a 16x DVD-/+ with integrated CD R/RW burner

Graphics Accelerator: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (using 64 MB of dedicated memory and up to 256 MB partitioned over from RAM)

The hardware is decent on this desktop with a good power plant in the 2GHz Intel chip. I like the robust hard drive with the 320GB be adequate for the capabilities of this PC. The at 2GB allows for Vista to run smoothly but is a minimum in my opinion (this can be upgraded to a 4GB maximum which should lengthen the time this computer is effective for the owner). Boot times are good in my opinion but can be improved by removing some of the unneeded trial ware that HP has included on this desktop. I saw minimal lag while multitasking with a number of tabbed browsers and Microsoft office applications. The graphics card unfortunately didn’t lend itself to playing very graphically intensive games so hardcore gamers can stay from this one.

Connectivity:

6 2.0 USB ports (these are the standard connections for peripherals such as scanners, digital cameras and iPods)

2 FireWire ports (these are designed for high speed transfer and can be between digital camcorders or other compatible PCs)

2 PS/2 ports (old school input device ports)

1 VGA monitor output (a typical monitor connection)

2 audio outputs / 2 microphone inputs

4 standard surround sound speaker outputs

15 in 1 media card reader (these slots allow the consumer to directly insert memory from their mobile devices into the PC)

I like the connectivity in this computer, however there is nothing that really sets it apart from the pack. This desktop is perfect for families and students. It’s going to do all the work you need – it will run office programs fine, even Photoshop. This desktop is going to download music, watch movies, and manage family videos. With an average online price of about $700 this desktop is right on target. There may however be some price fluctuations when the August high season hits but I don’t foresee it falling below $600.

Samsung and Google’s latest Galaxy Nexus Android smartphone, the first to run the search giant’s new Android 4.0 (codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich), was designed with the intention of reducing potential patent litigation from smartphone rivals Apple, Samsung’s mobile chief has revealed.

As the Korean smartphone vendor fights numerous legal battles worldwide with Apple over product designs and software patents, Samsung’s Shin Jong-Kyun told reporters in Hong Kong on the eve of the Galaxy Nexus launch:

“Now we will avoid everything we can and take patents very seriously.”

With bans already oustanding in Germany and Australia, Samsung has been forced to amend the design of its Galaxy smartphones in The Netherlands to escape a sales injunction on the devices in the country. Whilst Shin was unable to comment on whether Apple would be able to assert patent claims against its new device, he did note that Samsung has actively worked to ensure there is no known patent registered by Apple included in the Galaxy Nexus.

The Samsung executive later said that ”we will see if (the Galaxy Nexus) will be 100 percent free”, adding that the litigation between the two companies was “just a start and will last for a considerable time”.

That didn’t stop Shin from criticising Apple, remarking that Apple wouldn’t gain much from its legal action, but Samsung is losing “the pride in our brand”.

To better protect itself from further legal action, Samsung has recruited more legal staff:

“(I realized that) having technological power and being business savvy aren’t enough,” Shin said.

Even though Samsung has to deal with sales injunctions in Germany and Australia, Shin noted that Samsung can still meet its annual tablet sales target of a five-fold increase from a year previous.

It would be unfortunate for Samsung to be faced with another Apple lawsuit, this time over its Galaxy Nexus smartphone, but the threat is very much there. Whether Apple will pursue the new handset in the courts remains to be seen, the Cupertino-based company will certainly be on high alert after Samsung filed legal action against it over the new iPhone 4S smartphone in Australia.

Assuming you’re living in Japan, you might be interested to know that there will be an upcoming special edition of a device which is not another Nintendo DS variant or a new PSP color. We’re talking about mobile carrier NTT DoCoMo with their latest limited edition model, the F-12C that will arrive in that part of the world this coming October 28th.

What is so special about this Globetrotter Classic model? Well, there will only be 5,000 units available for starters, so if you are a serious phone collector, I would suggest you start ringing up your contacts there in order to negotiate safe passage for one of these puppies to make their way to your doorstep in due time. The Android-powered F-12C from Fujitsu will be exclusively available only via DoCoMo, where it boasts a Vulcan Fibre rear cover that is made out of the same material as the Trotter Classic travel case, sporting pre-installed wallpapers as well as a classic orange color for the body.

There will be serial numbers to make sure the world knows (and other collectors, too) that this is seriously a limited edition version. Any takers? [Translated Page]

Throughout the years, Hewlett-Packard has given us some absolutely amazing advancements within the technological world. Ranging from desktop computers to ultra-sleek laptops, and printers. However, they have definitely grown leaps and bounds in the digital imaging world. Giving us amazing cameras to choose from. One of these cameras is the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart 5.0-mega pixel Digital Camera – Model: M425.

This camera comes some of the greatest features in the digital imaging world. With it’s 5.0-mega pixel CCD, it captures high-resolution pictures up to 2576 x 1920 pixels. Which is absolutely perfect for those who are wanting to enlarge some of their pictures to fit certain frames and such. There is also a 3x optical zoom, 6x digital zoom, and an 18x total zoom capability. All of these zooms, will come out crystal clear with the help of the HP Precision lens – which means, no more grainy zoomed-in shots.

Some of the other features this camera gives its users is the HP Real Life technologies, which includes an in-camera red-eye remover. Another great feature this camera gives its users is the option to select various different scene modes. These modes include landscape, portrait, beach, snow, macro and fast shot. The auto focus of this camera is amazing as well, giving you the benefit of center-weighted auto exposure metering. This camera also comes with an option of continuous shooting, which captures 2 fps (frames-per-second) or up to 3 pictures for those fast moving moments that you want to remember forever.

There is also a great white balancing feature, which includes auto, beach and snow white balance to help you gain natural tones under various lighting settings. Are you needing to record a video? Well, with this camera, you can record video in 320 x 240 resolution at 20 fps with audio. Not wanting to buy a memory card? Well, there is a 16MB internal memory card that will give you enough room to take numerous pictures without having to spend the extra money on a digital camera.

This camera is a really great, and sturdy unit. The greatest thing about this particular camera is the price. It is tagged way below $200, which allows even those on a tight budget to own their very own, high-quality digital camera. And with the history of Hewlett Packard, you will have years of experience and knowledge packed in with your camera.

This is a very wild idea to me and I don’t think that many people would get behind the idea of an aircraft powered by a conventional nuclear reactor. However, if it were a new kind of nuclear energy that produces little radiation the support for a massive aircraft powered by a reactor using low energy nuclear reaction or LENR technology might make such an aircraft possible. LENR has been researched for decades and according to NASA Langley energy expert Joe Zawodny experimental evidence has proven LENR might be an extremely clean energy source.

The hope is that a LENR reactor might be fitted inside an extremely large aircraft that would stay in flight on a semi-permanent basis. The aircraft would fly using its LENR power plant with a normal chemical fuel reservoir for backup energy. The aircraft in the concept drawing above has two landing strips on its back. The flying machine has such a massive size that other normally sized aircraft could take off from the ground, land on the back of the giant LENR aircraft and then fly close to their destination.

Once near their destination the conventional aircraft could take back off from the back of the giant LENR machine and then land on the ground. The thought is that an air transport scheme like this could save 40% of the fuel required for a conventional flight on a 1000km route and on a longer 10,000km route; the savings could be as high as 85-90%. That sounds pretty good to me, but we have a long way to go before a LENR aircraft can prowl the skies. The main problem is that so far no LENR device has been demonstrated that can be turned on and off at will.

EADS has a large cash cushion of some EUR12 billion that it can dip into if necessary to help customer airlines of its Airbus division if they experience financing difficulties. But Gallois said this facility will be used sparingly. “We’re not bankers,” he said, noting that in the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 the company had set a ceiling for such financing aid of EUR1 billion but this had never been reached. At that time, state-backed export credit financing agencies stepped in to ease the financing crunch, helping to finance about one-third of Airbus deliveries during that period, compared to about one-fifth at present.

 

“We are prepared to make an effort as regards financing our sales, but only in a reasonable way,” he said. “We can increase our efforts, but there are limits that we can’t cross,” he went on.

 

Rival plane maker Boeing Co (BA) recently called on cash-rich Middle East banks and investors to plug a potential financing shortfall of its aircraft as European banks reel from the region’s sovereign debt crisis.

 

Dubai-based Emirates Airline’s president Tim Clark told Dow Jones in late September that some French banks that have long helped fund its huge aircraft investment program are showing signs of retreating in the face of the region’s sovereign debt crisis.

 

Recent speculation about a possible liquidity crunch at some big French banks traditionally involved in aircraft finance–something that the banks and others have denied–has raised questions over their near-term role in the sector.

Without a doubt the most popular size of laptops are the 15.4″ models. These models often bridge the gap between performance and mobility. This time of year we see a drastic increase in laptop sales, especially the 15.4″ models. I’ve been lucky enough to get a hold of the HP Pavilion DV6415US notebook. This is a popular and inexpensive 15.4″ that you’ll see all over college campuses. In this article I’m going to give it a quick review. First though lets pop the hood and take a look at a few of the basics.

Hardware:

Processor: 1.86 GHz Intel Pentium T2130 dual-core

Storage Space: a 160 GB (Serial ATA) hard disk

RAM: 1 GB of RAM (expandable to a 2 GB max)

Optical Drive: a CD R/RW with integrated 8x LightScribe DVD -/+ burner

Dimensions: 14.0″ x 10.1″ x 1.5″ and weighs in at about 6lbs.

Graphics Accelerator: Integrated Intel GMA 950 video card

This notebook has a decent batter life of about a 2hr average, and of course that depends on how hard the notebook is running. This notebook has a nice processor in the 1.8Ghz Intel however this is limited by the lack of RAM. In my opinion Vista needs at least 2GB of RAM to operate smoothly. In fact a number of the visual features of Vista are disabled on notebooks with less than 2GB of RAM. The hard drive is decent however I would have liked to see something larger. The size is nice, about average and the weight is OK at 6lbs.

Connectivity:

3 2.0 USB ports (The gold standard in peripheral connectivity use with the likes of mice, keyboards, printers, and iPods)

Integrated Wireless

1 FireWire port (these ports are used for high speed data transfer typically between digital camcorders or other compatible PCs)

1 Ethernet port (so that this notebook can dial up an internet connection)

1 VGA port (this is a typical monitor connection)

1 S-Video port (this is used as a typical projector connection, and sometimes a compatible TV)

1 ExpressCard slot (to add temporary hardware like a Bluetooth adapter or cellular modem)

2 audio out (digital compatible) / 1 microphone input

5 in 1 memory card reader (these slots allow users to directly insert the memory from their mobile devices into the notebook)

1 Integrated Modem (this allows this notebook to dial up an internet connection)

No surprises in the connectivity of this notebook. The bottom line though I would certainly consider a RAM upgrade. Although it is a relatively inexpensive process this is unfortunate because no one wants to buy a notebook and immediately upgrade it. This notebook has less than average performance and would likely disappoint with the slow boot times and occasional system lag. Does it make up for it in the mobility department? Not in my opinion, and certainly not for $869 which is the current online price at a number of retailers. I would wait on this notebook to reduce in price which may occur around early August when the high season hits. Until then I would look around.

When the week is over, Oracle World will have been bracketed by two events. One: the unveiling of Oracle Exalytics, a beefy in-memory appliance dedicated to large-scale analytics, during Larry Ellison’s opening keynote. Two: the undressing of Oracle’s cloud computing initiatives by Marc Benioff, SalesForce’s CEO, and the unceremonious cancellation of his keynote this morning.

Both events highlight that when it comes to Big Data, analytics and cloud computing, Oracle is on the wrong side of history.

To glimpse the future of the data stack, Oracle need look no further than its own backyard, to what Silicon Valley start-ups are embracing: the distributed processing ecosystem of Hadoop, NoSQL data stores like MongoDB, and cloud platforms like Amazon’s web services.  As Marc Andreessen said last week, “Not a single one of our startups uses Oracle.”

The challenge for Oracle, which did $36 billion in revenue last year, is that they sell to big enterprises and selling technology to start-ups doesn’t move the needle.

Worse, Oracle’s support for the kind of technology stacks embraced by startups — open-source software, elastic architectures, commodity hardware grids — cannibalizes revenue from their existing lines of business.

“I don’t care if our commodity X86 business goes to zero,” Ellison said in Oracle’s last earnings call, “We don’t make money selling that.”

This commoditization wave may have sent others, including HP, fleeing from hardware, but it has driven Oracle into the breach: they are attempting to capture higher margins on sales of their Sun-acquired SPARC architectures.

The buyers of these big boxes are enterprises struggling with sharp increases in data volumes, and willing to pay top dollar for what Ellison dubs a “100 percent upwardly compatible migration path,” referring to the SuperCluster T4-4.

But history is not on Oracle’s side.  Today’s startups are tomorrow’s Goliaths, and soon they will have to confront a future that, as William Gibson quips, “is already here… just not evenly distributed.”

Here are four realities that Oracle must face to maintain its unassailable position as the world’s leading data firm:

The future of data is distributed

“Lots of little servers everywhere, lots of little databases everywhere. Your information got hopelessly fragmented in the process.” – from Matthew Symonds book Softwar (p. 38).

This is how Larry Ellison described the technology landscape of the 1990s, and his personal jihad against complexity has deepened Oracle’s distrust of distributed computing.

But the tide of data isn’t turning back, and the scale is too large to contain in any box; Big Data, on the scale of hundreds of terabytes to petabytes, must be distributed across “lots of little servers.” The most viable tool available today for processing and persisting Big Data is Hadoop.

Whether at the data layer — or a level above, at analytics — firms must adapt to this distributed reality and build tools that enable parallelized, many-to-many migration of data between nodes on Hadoop and those on their own platforms.

The future of computing is elastic

Metal server boxes don’t bend or expand; they are inelastic, both physically and economically.  In contrast, the needs of businesses are highly elastic; as companies grow, they shouldn’t have to unpack and install boxes to meet their compute needs, any more than they should install generators for more electricity.

Computing is a utility, compute cycles are fungible, and firms want to pay for what they need, when it’s needed, like electricity.

The ability to scale storage and compute capacity up or down, within minutes, is liberating for individuals and cost-effective for organizations, but it is impossible with a “cloud in a box.”  It is only enabled by a true cloud computing infrastructure, with virtualization and dynamic provisioning from a common pool of resources.

The future of applications is not on the desktop

Despite that Oracle developed the first pure network computer in 1996 (or perhaps because of this), far too many of Oracle’s supporting business applications are delivered via the desktop, rather than via web browsers.

By comparison, Cloudera has created a rich web-based application for managing and monitoring all aspects of Hadoop clusters; Amazon Web Services has a fully-featured web console for interacting with its offerings; and Salesforce’s products are almost exclusively web-driven.

The expressivity afforded by web browsers has risen dramatically in the last two years, particularly with the emergence of Javascript as the lingua franca of web application development, and improvements in Javascript engines.

The same trend from desktop to browser also extends into mobile devices.  An increasingly large fraction of computing occurs on smart phones and tablets, and forward-thinking firms, like Dropbox, have built applications that cater to this reality.

The future of analytics is beautiful

The decades of disappointment with business intelligence tools isn’t due only to their lack of brains (such that they’ve now fled to the fresh moniker of “business analytics”), but also the absence of beauty. Data is beautiful, as any reader of Edward Tufte can attest.

When visualized thoughtfully and artfully, data has an almost hymnal power to persuade decision makers.  And when exploring data of high complexity and dimensionality, the kind that lives in Oracle’s databases, tools that accelerate the “mean time to pretty chart” are essential.

In addition, analytics tool users are right to expect a smooth user experience on a par with other tools, whether photo editing or word processing, when they are creating and exploring data visualizations.

Yet amidst all of Oracle’s presentations and marketing materials about big data and analytics, one finds not a single dashboard or visualization to stir the senses.

While Spotfire and Tableau are notable exceptions to this critique, on the whole, the tools that dot the Oracle landscape lack either brains or beauty.

Enterprises will be slow to wake up to these realities, and Oracle will continue to profit handsomely from their slumber.

However, the opportunities abound to chip away at the massive market share that Oracle now holds, providing data services to start-ups who refuse to pay Oracle’s prices, or helping medium-sized businesses migrate to new solutions.

Oracle did its best to paint its Exalytics data analytics and Big Data Appliances as game changers at Oracle OpenWorld 2011 this week. And they might be, for Oracle.

But both boxes are all about Oracle taking existing IP assets that it acquired or open-sourced, and packaging them up with Intel hardware and Infiniband network pipes.

That’s not to sell integration short: It’s harder to knit together hardware and various bits of software than putting old wine in new winebags (as one pundit put it.) But it’s important to realize that much of this stuff has been around for a while. Exalytics is essentially a bundle of the TimesTen in-memory database acquired by Oracle, Hyperion’s EssBase, acquired by Oracle, and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition suite or OBIEE. This is all part of Oracle CEO’s Larry Ellison’s push to deliver what he has called “iPods for the data center”–margin-rich, pre-integrated hardware-software for data processing.

Early thinking on  Exalytics’ prospects are mixed. Many observers said SAP’s HANA appliance, available since July,  has the edge. As analyst Scott Tiazkun, director at Pierre Audoin Consultants  wrote in a blog post:

“SAP’s HANA is an analytics appliance, database and an applications platform all in one. Data is stored in columns (not records), and runs queries under standard SQL, so it can fit under any relational database. Specifically, large customers can get exceptionally fast reporting from usage of HANA. This is because HANA is an in-memory appliance, and all of the data sits within the memory of the application itself. So the calculation engine for analytics also sits in-memory and calculates and crunches numbers in-memory.

Oracle’s Big Data Appliance pulls together what appears to be a version of Berkeley DB’s database (acquired by Oracle) as the NoSQL component, as well as open-source distributions of Hadoop and the R statistical language, as well as an  Oracle-branded  data integrator application adapter and loader  for Hadoop.

Oracle OpenWorld attendees said it only makes sense for Oracle to figure out how to integrate and “monetize” its multiple acquisitions, including last year’s $7 billion-plus buyout of Sun Microsystems. “OOW this year was more about getting some return on investment — but in this case not Oracle users’ investment but Oracle’s investment in Sun! No one can blame Oracle in doing this — it’s obvious they want to save the hardware business they bought. (I guess Mark Hurd needs to earn his oats),” Tiazkun said via email.

Ray Wang, principal analyst and CEO of  Constellation Research, said not to sell Oracle’s integration effort short. “The work required to put out Exalytics and make improvements to Exadata and Exalogic is not an easy feat,”he noted.

Availability is another question. Exalytics was promised for year’s end but it’s unclear when the Big Data appliance. No availability date or price was given.

If you are searching for a way to stay connected to your digital life when you are on the go, than you may think that you have to lug around a laptop computer with you everywhere you go. While this may have been true in the past, there have been some really amazing advancements within the technologies of mobile entertainment. I’m sure you’ve heard of Pocket PC’s, however, in the past, these machines were more expensive than they are worth, and their functionality was greatly limited. However, this isn’t true for the latest versions of this amazing product. The Hewlett Packard iPAQ Pocket PC, Model: hx2495 has all of the features that you will need to stay connected to your friends and family, as well as keep your digital life moving right along with you. If you are searching for a new Pocket PC, than I would definitely recommend this product.

Main Product Features:

The first feature that I really enjoyed within this PDA is the fact that you are able to keep your professional and casual digital lives organized through this unique product. This is first made possible by the operating system that has been placed within this product. You will be able to streamline your work through the Microsoft Windows Media 5.0 Operating System. This is one of the best mobile operating systems on the market, and you will really enjoy the high-functionality of this PDA. The processor is also quite impressive. You will be able to enjoy the security and fast processing speeds of the Intel XScale PXA270 mobile processor. This processor has been designed to speed-up the reaction time and overall performance of this PDA.
