Right now, a computer science degree could be a golden ticket if you use it right. Of course, you will also need some good advice too. If you have a specific love for computer science, you will relish in learning about coding and understanding the way computers work. After you graduate, there will be a plethora of opportunities, but while you are still in college, you will really want to plan accordingly and learn what you can from your degree program. A lot of what you learn will go out the window in the real world, but you can still hold on to some of the basics tenets. Here is some advice for computer science freshman in college.

Transparent algorithms: Why Google and Facebook not release their algorithms as Open Source?
The algorithms involve us, but they do not know what they actually do. Google presents search results in a certain order and orders Facebook news and updates on our timeline according to certain criteria, but these recipes are secret and are jealously guarded by those who use them.
Should companies explain in detail what those algorithms? Some argue this option and make the analogy with the free software, a philosophy in which the code is published, shared, edited and redistributed freely. The debate on the transparency of the algorithms is more fashionable than ever.
Facebook in the spotlight
The Trending Facebook feature is a good example of such algorithms. Although it is assumed that who you really are that algorithm power users and how they use the social network, the operation of this program is totally unknown.
Facebook algorithm has a limitation: it is created, managed and fed by humans. Are we or rather Facebook- employees who decide what data is valid, what is done with them, and what response you get from them. An algorithm behaves better or worse shape is not just the fault of Facebook, but our, users, we feed this algorithm with our activity and our comments.
Considerations for IFAs When Choosing a Software System
Deciding which software is the best for your business is not an easy task. While many back-office systems will cover most of an IFA’s requirements, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

Technology needs more women for a new golden age
Let’s stop preliminaries: the labor market needs more women. In the technology sector reports are bleak. Last April, in the framework of the International Day of Girls in ICT was confirmed: the technology sector employs only 18% of women. And, what it is more important, a large percentage of high school graduates opt for science and mathematics, but in college, 75% of students abandon technology careers. A screen, a barrier that comes from childhood, when it is suggested, “these are not women’s branches.”
Fortunately, things are changing. And for the good of all parity in wages, hours and jobs will save a fortune on the World Bank and accelerate global economic recovery. When we talk about creativity, lateral thinking, innovation, we must look to the work of thousands of women.
The future is built today
ASUS is one of the key companies that are struggling to incorporate women working in the technology sector. Through the platform #MakeWhatsNext are developing a space to encourage girls from primary, to approach technological and scientific studies. The goal is common: to avoid that in the future we meet many positions needed unoccupied. According to the study, by 2020 there will be 825,000 job vacancies related to information technology and telecommunications. 2 million in all fields of technology.
Are We Seeing the End of Manual Software Testing
With the recent advancements in software testing technology, it would be easy for firms to sit back and let technology take over – but do we put too much faith in our technological resources nowadays? Here we take a look at why human intervention is vital to maintaining the quality of a product, even in … Read more
Kodi wants you to see the movies in the lounge with Raspberry Pi and created it a perfect package
At this point in the film, almost everyone knows what a plate Raspberry Pi, and I suppose many will also know Kodi, cross – platform media center that led to the famous “Xbox Media Center” or XBMC. For some time together, they are making way lead, taking advantage of the characteristics and philosophy of each.
Raspberry Pi is a small, very affordable plate, capable of doing many things, so quickly was embraced by communities of students and makers. One of the most sought practical applications for this low-cost hardware is to generate content for TV. They did not take long to make Kodi get along with Raspberry.
KiloCore is the first chip with a thousand processors within Minimum consumption for the divide and conquer
A microchip with 1,000 independent and programmable processors – which also might call centers – has been designed and created by the University of California, in collaboration with IBM. A more focused project to be energetically very efficient at multitasking, which beat speed records.
Our protagonist is called KiloCore and implements a possibility that leaders like Intel had already put on the table. Welcome is parallel processing is the basis of mobile devices and desktop that live with us, but then to reach such a number of processing units, have to coordinate well to make the imagined performance.
Autonomy, power, style or size? LG has an X phone for every need
Very curious the road leading LG with their phones X, a series of devices that are not intended to be the perfect solution for all rather have a demure specifications in some detail that makes them special. It may be the camera, the screen, even the battery.
The Korean company has four new members to the X family, responding to quite descriptive names of their abilities: X power, mach X, X and X max style. Some of its features overlap with high – end phones, those who belong to the families G and V.
