As the market for African art has experienced explosive growth, so too has the interest in and proliferation of African photography. CNN asked 4 African art experts for their picks of today’s most promising talents. Touria El Glaoui is the creative force behind 1-54, an international art fair helping to introduce leading African artists to the global market. She spotlighted photographer Phumzile Khanyile from South Africa. Helen Jennings, editorial director and co-founder of Nataal magazine, a digital and print publication focused on contemporary African fashion, arts and culture, chose to highlight visual artist Prince Gyasi from Ghana. Maheder Haileselassie Tadese, member of the Everyday Africa collective which aims to change perceptions about Africa, spotlighted Kenya’s Brian Otieno. As the founder and director of the international art fair, Art x Lagos, Tokini Peterside has helped amplify African artists’ voice in the global market. She selected two Nigerian photographers, Kadara Enyeasi and Lakin Ogunbanwo.

The Ram pickup (formerly the Dodge Ram pickup) is a full-size pickup truck manufactured by FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group LLC) and marketed as of 2011 under the Ram Trucks brand. The current fifth-generation Ram debuted at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. Previously, Ram was part of the Dodge line of light trucks. The name Ram was first used in 1932-1954 Dodge Trucks, then returned on the redesigned 1981 Ram and Power Ram, following the retiring and rebadging of the Dodge D Series pickup trucks as well as B-series vans. Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year six times; the second-generation Ram won the award in 1994, the third-generation Ram Heavy Duty won the award in 2003, the fourth-generation Ram Heavy Duty won in 2010 and the fourth-generation Ram 1500 won in 2013 and 2014, and the current fifth-generation Ram 1500 won in 2019. The first-generation Ram trucks and vans introduced in 1981 featured a Ram hood ornament first used on Dodge vehicles from 1932 to 1954. [1] Not all of the first-generation trucks have this ornament and is most commonly seen on four-wheel-drive models. Dodge kept the previous generation's model designations: "D" or Ram indicated two-wheel drive while "W" or Power Ram indicated four-wheel drive. Just like Ford, Dodge used 150 to indicate a half-ton truck, 250 for a three-quarter-ton truck, and 350 for a one-ton truck. The truck models were offered in standard cab, "Club" extended cab, and crew cab configurations. They were also offered along with 6.5 ft (2.0 m) and 8 ft (2.4 m) bed lengths and "Utiline" and "Sweptline" styled boxes along with standard boxes. Externally, the first-generation Rams were facelifted versions of the previous generation Dodge D-Series pickups introduced in 1972. The new model introduced larger wraparound tail lamps, dual rectangular headlamps, and squared-off body lines. Engine choices were wall down to the 225 Slant-6 and 318 and 360 V8s. The interior was updated and included a new bench seat and a completely new dashboard and instrument cluster with an optional three-pod design - a speedometer in the center, with the two side pods containing an ammeter on the top left, a temperature gauge bottom left , to fuel gauge on the top right and to an oil pressure gauge bottom right. Models without the full gauge package had only indicator lights in the place of the temperature and oil pressure gauges. Among the options offered on the Ram were front bumper guards, a sliding rear window, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt steering column, power door locks and windows, AM / FM stereo with cassette tape player, styled road wheels, aluminum turbine -style mag wheels, special paint and stripe packages, two-tone paint, and a plow package for four-wheel-drive models (referred to as the Sno Commander). The "Club Cab" was dropped from the lineup after 1982, but Dodge kept the tooling and re-introduced nearly to decade later in the 1991 models. The four-door crew cab and utiline beds were dropped after the 1985 model year, and were never reintroduced in this generation. Basic Ram 100 models were reintroduced for 1984, replacing the previous "Miser" trim level available on the Ram 150. A "Ram-Trac" shift-on-the-fly transfer case was added for the 1985's Power Rams, and both the crew cab and Utiline flared bed were dropped for 1986. In 1988 the Slant-6 engine was replaced by a 3.9 L (240 cu in) fuel-injected V6 engine. The 5.2 L (318 cu in) engine also received electronic fuel injection in 1988. Because of a new computer controlled fuel injection, ignition and ABS system, more vehicle information needed to be displayed through any warning or notification lights; so inside the cab where a small compartment was once located on the dash, a new "message center" with four small rectangular light spots, contained the check engine light and other tell-tales including one for the parking brake and the ABS if the truck was so equipped. The message center later included "Wait to Start" and "Water in Fuel" lights on diesel models. Diagnostic fault codes were stored in the computer's memory, and cycling the ignition key three times would allow the computer to flash the trouble codes through the check-engine light for diagnosis of some problems. Rear ABS became standard equipment in 1989. The Ram 100 model designation was dropped and these models folded back into the 150 range for 1990, due to the introduction and sales success of the Dodge Dakota pickup. Additionally, the instrument cluster was slightly revised; The ammeter was replaced by a voltmeter while maintaining the 3-pod arrangement of the speedometer and gauges. Also in 1990, Dodge reintroduced the Club Cab, equipped with fold-out jump seats for the 1991-1993 models. Entry was made through the passenger or driver's doors, as there were no rear doors for this configuration. These trucks, though po[CENSORED]r with fleets, sold poorly compared to the Ford F-Series and the General Motors C / K Trucks, with just under 100,000 units sold most years of their production. Part of this was due to the dated cab and chassis design which had been in production since 1972, there was no powerful diesel option until 1989, and there was no big-block gas V8 option. Additionally, the interior had been given a few updates since 1981

The Firefox smartphone operating system is being shut down, three years after a launch aimed at challenging the dominant platforms powered by Apple and Google, developers said Thursday. The operating system created by the Mozilla developer community as an open-source system failed to gain traction in mobile devices, according to a statement from Mozilla developer George Roter. "Through the work of hundreds of contributors we made an awesome push and created an impressive platform in Firefox OS," he said in a blog post. "However, as we announced in December, the circumstances of multiple established operating systems and app ecosystems meant that we were playing catch-up, and the conditions were not there for Mozilla to win on commercial smartphones." Roter said Mozilla has set "our plan to end-of-life support for smartphones after the Firefox OS 2.6 release" which means that "Firefox OS for smartphones will no longer have staff involvement beyond May." In 2013, Mozilla announced a tie-up with Spanish-based GeeksPhone to introduce two low-cost devices powered by Firefox. Firefox devices made by China's ZTE and TCL were announced in 2014 at a cost as low as $25. Roter said Mozilla made the decision as part of a push "to pivot from 'Firefox OS' to 'connected devices'" and would be focusing on developing open-source software for the Internet of Things—a category which includes everything from connected cars to lightbulbs. "As of today, we have three projects that have passed the first gate including (a) smart TV and about a dozen more projects are prepping for review," he said.

For months, readers and pundits have watched for any sign of how AMD’s upcoming Zen architecture would perform against Intel’s Core family, as well as Sunnyvale’s own line-up of Piledriver, Carrizo, and Kaveri products. It’s no secret that AMD’s Zen is the company’s do-or-die moment — and while the CPU isn’t expected to completely close the gap withIntel in terms of performance per clock, it has to deliver an enormous uplift over AMD’s current lineup to be considered a success. Now, thanks to some leaked benchmarks and sleuthing at WCCFTech, we’ve got our first glance at how AMD’s Zen engineering samples perform against other hardware in Ashes of the Singularity. These results should be read with buckets of salt over both shoulders. They’re from a single benchmark, they weren’t tested in a controlled setting, and the results are based on engineering samples, not final hardware. This last point is extremely significant, because it’s common for prototype chips and engineering samples to offer less performance than the final version. In Hollywood and TV, the word “prototype” is often used to refer to new superweapons and powerful starships — in reality, the prototype often has wires hanging out the back and isn’t ready to be deployed in any fashion. All tests were run with an RX 480 GPU. The results are… pretty good, actually. Granted, this is a game benchmark, and those tend to compress CPU results more than actual CPU-centric workloads (some games scale well with CPUs, some don’t). Ashes has always tended to respond well to higher CPU clocks, so it should be at least a fair example of game performance. The fact that Zen is pulling ahead of the Core i5-4670K is significant, because it’s the first time we’ve seen an AMD chip leading an Intel CPU in, well, a very long time. The fact that it’s leading while still an engineering sample and running at a relatively low clock speed is also impressive. And, of course, the fact that it leads the FX-8350 by 1.38x in this test puts it bang on the nose of AMD’s claimed 40% improvement — though we’re comparing against Piledriver, not Carrizo. We’re also comparing at a severe clock speed disadvantage and against prototype hardware. If these new results are in the slightest way indicative of what AMD will debut with Zen, the company will deliver what it promised — a CPU with significantly higher performance than anything it’s shipped in the past five years, and a solution that’s capable of challenging Intel on a clock-for-clock basis in a way no Bulldozer or Piledriver CPU ever could. I strongly caution against drawing conclusions about CPU scaling, multi-core performance, or clock speed based on this data. These results are from the GPU benchmark in Ashes, not the CPU test — and that means they aren’t really meant to test maximum scaling across all 16 threads. DirectX 12 does allow the game to make use of multi-threading, but the GPU test in Ashes of the Singularity doesn’t scale well above eight threads according to our own testing.

In March 2005 Autocar set out its manifesto for the £100-per-week second-hand performance hero. For that sum, which equates to a purchase loan budget of £25,000 borrowed over five years, our writers and testers explained you could buy your very own mid-engined supercar, a modern-day muscle car, one of the most beautiful automotive shapes of the past few decades, a V8 super-saloon – or whatever else tempted you. Eleven of the era’s most appealing but affordable performance cars were laid out in detail, with an underlying message that there had never been a better time to throw caution to the wind and buy a dream performance car. Thirteen years later we’re revisiting the idea. In the years that have elapsed the values of those 11 cars have fallen, stayed more or less the same and even, as in a number of instances, risen dramatically. But in every case a more modern alternative has since fallen into the £100-per-week bracket. This time around we’ll look at how the values of each of the cars have shifted in 13 years and suggest a newer model that might now be a smarter purchase. The message, as it was then, is that you needn’t continue dreaming about owning a desirable performance car. Check out our guide at the end of the feature for some loan options that might just draw such a purchase into realistic range. Ferrari 348 Autocar’s David Vivian had it right when he wrote that the 348 “may not be the greatest baby Ferrari ever built, but you’ll wake up in a better mood with one on your drive”. And had you heeded his advice and bought one, you might even have turned a profit. While it was possible to buy a 348 with a £25,000 budget 13 years ago, you will now need at least £40k. The market seems to be forgetting how unloved the 348 once was, but with effortlessly pretty styling and a soaring, normally aspirated V8, perhaps its reputation was unwarranted. But have we seen the end of bargain-basement Ferraris? Not entirely. Mondials and 400s can still be found under £30k, but whether you’d want one is another matter. One we found: 1993 348TS, 71,000 miles, £41,500 Today’s alternative: Audi R8 V8 No, it isn’t a Ferrari. It isn’t even Italian. The Audi R8 does have an atmospheric V8 in its middle, however, and, just like the 348, its manual gearbox has an open gate, so there are at least some important similarities between the two. The truth is you’ll need to spend upwards of £50,000 on a 360 Modena to bag yourself a modern 348 successor, which is why on this occasion we’re leaving Maranello behind and moving on to Ingolstadt. That’s no bad thing, though, because a looked-after early R8 will be no less enjoyable to drive than any comparable Ferrari. Original R8s are yet to drop to £25,000 but they can be found for around £30,000, which doesn’t seem like a huge sum for what is a brilliant junior supercar. The 4.2-litre V8 is very durable, although it does have a thirst for oil. One we found: 2007 R8 4.2, 94,000 miles, £30,995 BMW M5 (E39) In 2005 former Autocar tester Chris Harris wrote: “I think about the [E39] M5 all the time.” That BMW was, and very possibly still is, the yardstick by which Harris judged every new car he tested. “Not in direct seats-and-space terms,” he went on, “but in monetary value.” The E39 M5 is one of the few cars featured in that original piece that has since come down in value, which means his point is truer now than it ever was. They can be picked up today for less than £10,000, although for a little over £15,000 – still a long way short of our budget – you will find very tidy cars with well-documented histories. With a whisker under 400bhp from a normally aspirated V8, a manual gearbox and only two-wheel drive, the E39 is still the M5 of choice. One we found: 2000 M5, 91,000 miles, £17,750 Today’s alternative: BMW M5 (F10) For as long as it exists the F10 M5 will live in the shadow of the earlier E39. Some will tell you the twin-turbocharged M5, which was replaced just this year, was actually the low point of BMW’s super-saloon dynasty, but very few cars have ever combined crushing straight-line performance with effortless long-distance comfort like the F10. What the F10 lacks is the control and agility of those earlier M5s, making the F10 feel more like a grand tourer than a four-door sports car. Since it was introduced in 2011 values have fallen a long way indeed, so much so that you can buy one today for just 30% of its original list price. Our £25,000 budget will afford a 2012 car with around 50,000 miles behind it and a whole heap of very fast, very oversteery miles ahead of it. Article continues below advertisement One we found: 2012 M5, 55,000 miles, £24,000 Chevrolet Corvette (C5) “The appeal of the Corvette is obvious,” wrote David Vivian. “It has got the muscle to scare the quickest – and usually much more expensive – European performance cars in a straight line and the ability to cut it in corners.” That still applies, and you’ll find a C5 today for less than £20,000. One we found: 2001 Corvette, 89,000 miles, £16,995 Today’s alternative: Chevrolet Corvette (C6) The C6 isn’t as pretty as the C5 but it is more powerful and a lot more modern inside. Once you’ve wound that rumbling 6.0 V8 through the gears you’ll be done with turbos forever. One we found: 2009 Corvette, 15,000 miles, £28,950 TVR Tamora TVRs may never shake their reputation for poor reliability, but as Steve Sutcliffe pointed out, the Tamora “was one of the more reliable cars to emanate from Blackpool”. In the 13 years since he wrote those words values have hardly budged, and £25,000 is still the entry point for TVR’s pretty roadster. One we found: 2002 Tamora, 39,500 miles, £25,500 Today’s alternative: TVR Tuscan The Tamora hasn’t shed much value since 2005, but the more powerful Tuscan has drifted into range since then. The head-turning sports car starts at £17,000 today, but with £25k you’ll find a low-mileage car with immaculate history. The faint of heart need not apply. One we found: 2003 Tuscan, 36,000 miles, £26,500 Maserati 3200 GT “It’s genuinely hard to imagine a more adventurous place in which to invest £100 a week than a 3200 GT.” Steve Sutcliffe didn’t pull any punches when describing the Maserati, but with cars out there now at less than £15,000, the Maserati is less risky than it once was. One we found: 1999 3200 GT, 65,000 miles, £14,950 Today’s alternative: Maserati GranTurismo Fully two generations newer than the 3200 GT, the very beautiful GranTurismo is a far easier car to recommend. As a sports car it couldn’t hope to compete with the Porsche 911, but a normally aspirated V8 and knockout styling are hard to resist, especially at £20,000. One we found: 2007 GranTurismo, 75,000 miles, £20,000 Noble M12 GTO With the earliest cars now starting at £35,000, the Noble M12 GTO has sadly crept out of our £100-per-week budget since that original article in 2005. As David Vivian noted, you really had to be into the hand-built sports car subject matter to go off in search of an M12 GTO. This was not a car the typical Porsche 911 driver would have traded into come the end of a finance agreement, after all. In terms of delivering raw driving thrills in a sophisticated and well-judged manner, though, the Noble was more akin to the bona fide supercars of its day: as quick and as exciting as a Ferrari 360, but at a much more realistic price. The Leicestershire company is very different these days, though. It now sells the M600 supercar, a handful of which are built each year, at £250,000 apiece. One we found: 2002 M12 GTO, 33,000 miles, £37,950 Today’s alternative: Lotus Exige (S2) There is no modern equivalent of the M12 GTO, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy a laser-focused British sports car with two seats and an engine sited between the cockpit and rear axle. Simply cast your gaze away from Leicestershire and look instead to Norfolk. The second-generation Lotus Exige doesn’t offer anything like the straight-line thump of the twin-turbo Noble, but 189bhp working on less than 1000kg still makes for a very rapid car. Nonetheless, it isn’t outright performance that characterises the Exige but handling precision and response. The Exige is known to have absorbent suspension in spite of its hardcore persona, and in that it shares something with every Noble built. You’ll find S2 Exiges today at a little over £20k, but our £25,000 budget will stretch to a newer car with fewer miles. Vauxhall Monaro Apart from being “one of the great performance car bargains of the moment”, according to Steve Sutcliffe, the Vauxhall Monaro was, and still is, infused with an honest, straightforward character that you can’t help but be drawn to. Fast, fun, simple and dependable, and all available today for £10,000. One we found: 2006 Monaro, 42,000 miles, £10,500 Today’s alternative: Vauxhall VXR8 The VXR8 is a saloon rather than a coupé, but the newer model offers a bundle more power than the Monaro and its cabin is more sophisticated. It’s also every bit as fun to drive, in that time-honoured muscle car way. You’ll find one today for as little as £15,000. One we found: 2007 VXR8, 84,000 miles, £14,995 Aston Martin DB7 “You can drive the most beautiful supercar of the late 20th century for the same money as a Peugeot 607,” wrote Andrew Frankel. Now starting at £18k, the DB7 is even more affordable. One we found: 1997 DB7, 34,000 miles, £17,750 Today’s alternative: Aston Martin DB9 The car that made the DB7 feel old-hat can’t be had for £100 a week today, but for £30k you’ll find a sub-50,000-mile DB9. A snip for that gorgeous V12. One we found: 2005 DB9, 44,000 miles, £29,995 Nissan GT-R V-Spec (R34) As was pointed out by David Vivian 13 years ago: “There’s no shortage of iconic Japanese hardware to choose from with £30k at your disposal.” You could buy a used Honda NSX or a brand new Subaru Impreza, he noted, but Japan’s most irresistible car at the time, reckoned Vivian, was the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Much of what he wrote about that car could be said of today’s GT-R: “It has one of the most technically sophisticated and absurdly talented four-wheel drive chassis ever to cling to a twisty road,” for instance, or it “simply loves being driven hard.” While R34s could be snapped up for £28,000 back in 2005, you will need at least £40,000 today. The ultra-rare V-Spec model that was the subject of that original piece, meanwhile, will set you back upwards of £50,000. One we found: 1999 GT-R V-Spec, 70,000 miles, £57,995 Today’s alternative: Nissan GT-R (R35) Despite now being more than a decade old, the R35 Nissan GT-R hasn’t quite slipped below £30,000. In fact, the cheapest 2009 cars still command £32,000. To buy one today for £100 per week you’ll therefore need to make up the shortfall with cash or trade in your existing car – but it’ll be worth it. Article continues below advertisement Even the earliest R35s feel astonishingly fast today both in a straight line and through corners, and since the car has evolved gradually over the past 10 years or so, only the keenest observers will know it isn’t a more recent model. Despite Nissan claiming at the time that the GT-R would be untunable, the R35 spawned a tuning industry across several continents. There are, therefore, plenty of modified examples on sale, so only consider a car that’s been uprated by a reputable company. One we found: 2009 GT-R, 67,000 miles, £31,995 Porsche 911 Carrera (993) “As the last of the air-cooled 911s, [the 993] was the ultimate evolution of the original 911 concept that created the world’s most fabled and enduring sports car legend,” wrote Andrew Frankel back in 2005. Today it’s strange to think there once was a time that a 993 could be bought for £25,000. In that article we reckoned such a car would be worth £20,000 five years down the road, which probably wasn’t an unreasonable estimate. What we did not foresee was that in the years that would follow 993 values would rise like a hot air balloon with its burner stuck at full blast, so in 2018 you’ll need at least £35,000 to put one on your driveway. If you did follow our advice and buy a 993 back in 2005, however, you’ll be quids in today. One we found: 1997 911 Carrera 4, 99,000 miles, £36,000 Today’s alternative: Porsche 911 Carrera (997) Those earlier 911S may well be out of reach now, but for £100 per week you’ll have your pick of its modern alternatives. In some ways the 997 was an echo of the 993, for it too heralded some 911 ‘lasts’; it was the last 911 to have hydraulic power steering and the last one to be truly compact, the way 911s used to be. For those reasons and more besides, the 997 is reckoned to be a high point in the five decade-long saga of Porsche’s rear-engined sports car. Article continues below advertisement Today you’ll need to tread carefully because the normally-aspirated flat-six isn’t as durable as it might be, although neither intermediate shaft bearing failure nor cylinder bore scoring are as common as legend would have you believe. At £25,000 you’ll even find plenty of low-mileage cars. One we found: 2007 911 Carrera, 67,000 miles, £24,950 Lotus Esprit V8 “Even Tolstoy would have baulked at the prospect of writing Esprit: potential problems and what to look out for.” So said Chris Harris, who went on to admit he had a soft spot for Lotus’s V8 sports car. “The Esprit just does it for me,” he confessed. One we found: 1996 Esprit V8, 44,000 miles, £36,995 Today’s alternative: Lotus Evora The Evora certainly wasn’t a like-for-like replacement for the Esprit, but with much more cabin space than an Elise and modern-day conveniences such as sat-nav, it was another Lotus you could conceivably use more than once a week. Prices start at a shade under £30,000. Article continues below advertisement One we found: 2010 Evora, 37,000 miles, £28,500 The financial angle The values of the 11 second-hand cars highlighted in that original feature of 2005 ranged from £22,500 for the Maserati 3200 GT up to £30,950 for the Aston Martin DB7. The average value was something like £25,000. Where did that £100 per week figure come from? That was the approximate cost of borrowing £25,000 as an unsecured loan and paying it back over five years. In fact, the original feature offered six loan options with weekly repayments ranging from £111 to £117. For most of the cars in the original piece a £25,000 loan would have been sufficient by itself, although clearly the DB7 at £30,950 would’ve remained a little out of reach. As pointed out 13 years ago, however (and the same applies to this day), you could have made up the shortfall with your savings or by trading in your existing car (just as long as you had, or your car was worth, at least £5950 in the case of the DB7). With interest rates lower today than they were in 2005 the £100 per week philosophy is actually even more sound, because it’s now possible to find a loan on those same terms that’ll cost as little as £103 in repayments each week.

On Monday, when a total solar eclipse sweeps across the United States for the first time in 99 years, people gathering in Charleston, South Carolina, will be the last on the continent to experience it. They are ready.Historic Charleston, with its cobblestone streets and elegant antebellum mansions, was clearly a-bustle on Sunday, in full pre-eclipse mode. Its restaurants were packed and downtown parking was at a premium as excited locals and tourists -- possessors of the prized solar glasses that make eclipse-viewing safe -- strolled cheerfully along the seafront Battery promenade.Weather predictions for Monday were iffy -- with clouds and scattered thunderstorms predicted through the hours when the eclipse is due, from the moment when the moon first obscures a small arc of the sun, to totality, and through the end of the whole cosmic viewing experience.For locals, and for those who have come from far away, it is a big deal."We're very excited," said Brandy Mullins, a 38-year-old stay-at-home mother who moved to Charleston six weeks ago with her family.She and her three children all have solar glasses and are planning to watch the eclipse from an open area -- weather permitting."It's not looking very good," she said of the weather forecasts, "but it's OK -- we still get to experience it and see the darkness."Nick Willder, 59, and his wife, Sarah Boylan, aged 60, of Nottingham, England had planned their two-week vacation through the Southern US to end in Charleston in time for the eclipse.It will be their third try to see a total eclipse: earlier attempts in England and China, Willder said, were both rained out.- 12 million in path of totality -The "Great American Eclipse," as it is being called, will move diagonally across the country, northwest to southeast, providing a spectacular solar show -- again, weather permitting -- and an excellent excuse for scores of eclipse-viewing parties and music festivals.It will first be visible in the northwestern state of Oregon at 9:05 am (1605 GMT), with totality there coming 75 minutes later. Oregon authorities say they expect a million people to flood into the state for the event, clogging roadways and overflowing campgrounds, the Oregonian newspaper reported.In all, about 12 million people living in 14 states will be in the path of totality, with many million others able to witness at least a partial eclipse, according to the American Astronomical Society.In Charleston, some local government offices are closing to allow workers to avoid driving during the eclipse, and police and emergency services are putting extra personnel on duty to deal with crowds, the Post and Courier newspaper reported.As many as two million visitors were expected in the state for the eclipse.The small town of McClellanville, directly under the path of the eclipse, is even renting extra porta-potties.And what if -- after all the hubbub and extensive preparations -- bad weather should bring disappointment to would-be eclipse viewers?Willder, the British architect, seemed philosophical."If we don't get to see an eclipse it doesn't really matter," he said."It's just like putting a pin in a map" -- a great excuse to travel.

Voice computing is replacing the graphical user interface, Shawn DuBravac, chief economist of the Consumer Technology Association, said early this year at CES. Digital assistants will be integrated into many household objects, he noted. About 5 million voice-activated digital voice products had been sold as of January, and Bravac estimated 5 million more would be sold this year. Amazon's Alexa voice assistant software captured 88 percent of the global intelligent home speaker market in the last quarter of 2016, That widespread acceptance suggests that it could be in Alexa's power to disrupt multiple industries as the world increasingly goes digital and the Internet of Things becomes the norm -- including retail, travel, the automobile industry, customer interactions, e-commerce, security cameras, intelligent homes, and through integration with semiconductors, pretty much everything else. "Alexa's very po[CENSORED]r because of its open platform approach," commented Trip Chowdhry, managing director of equity research at Global research However, its success "depends on a smart company that knows how to integrate it into their platform," he told the E-Commerce Times. "Not every device using Alexa will be successful."

Odata cu lansarea OS X El Capitan, Apple a introdus o noutate si in ceea ce priveste securitatea si protectia sistemelor de operare OS X, in fata aplicatiilor malware sau a altor tipuri de virusi care tintescmodificarea fisierelor de sistem. System Integrity Protection (SIP), cunoscut si sub numele de Rootless Mode, reduce vulnerabilitatile si posibilitatea ca un malware sa patrunda si sa modifice fisiere sensibile ale macOS. Practic, aceasta noua caracteristica nu permite niciunui rang de utilizator, fie el si Administrator, sa modifice fisierele de sistem. Este recomandat ca orice utilizator de macOS sa pastreze modul rootless (SIP) activat. Exista insa cateva aplicatii care doresc sa modifice fisiere ale sistemului, fara sa aduca instabilitate acestuia. Pentru a le putea rula, utilizatorul va fi nevoit sa dezactiveze SIP, chiar daca nu recomandam sa se faca acest lucru. Dezactivarea SIP-ului o cer in special aplicatiile care ne ajuta sa aducem modificari de interfata(UI) si de aplicatiile de tweaking. Dezactivare si Activare System Integrity Protection (SIP) pe macOS Dezactivarea System Integrity Protection (SIP) se face urmand cativa pasi simplii ai acestui tutorial pentru macOS. 1. Restartam (reboot) OS X si tinem apasate tastele “Command + R“. Acest lucru ne ajuta sa intram in Mac Recovery Mode. 2. Odata intrat in Recovery Mode, mergem in bara la “Utilities” si deschidem aplicatia “Terminal“. 3. In Terminal, scriem si executam linia de comanda: csrutil disable 4. Dupa ce in Terminal apare mesajul: “Successfully disabled System Integrity Protection“, mergem la logo Apple si restartam macOS / OS X. Pentru reactivarea SIP, repetam pasii din tutorial si executam linia de comanda: csrutil enable. System Integrity Protection este disponibil numai pe sistemele de operare OS X El Capitan si mai noi de acesta. macOS Sierra va veni cu aceasta caracteristica inclusa. Foldere si fisiere restrictionate de SIP: – /System – /usr – /bin – /sbin – Aplicatii pre-instalate ale OS X.
