Nooku FM Integration

Nooku is a team of experienced software architects, lead by Johan Janssens, Lead Architect of Joomla 1.5.

It was 2007, and Joomla 1.5 was a great step up from the previous versions. But for the United Nations, the Belgian Police, and a number of companies, Joomla was missing enterprise-level multilingual features. The ideas for the development model grew from there. The combined efforts of our partners allowed us to build innovative Open Source technology: First Nooku Content,...

His name is Kiran, like many poor Indians, uses only one name. She and her parents in school-age look curiously through the grill man and machine at the other side. Finally, a man without a smile on a collared shirt was left in the large open room. People crowded around tables filled with computers that do not match, printers and scanners. Leaves fixed on the windows filter the sun, but not the noise of diesel buses and bicycles out of combat. Kiran is colored posters in Hindi and English on the walls....

Windows 8 Upgrades the Blue Screen of Death

If you are or ever were a Windows user, you’re likely familiar with the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). The bug check screen, with its lines of error codes, has been part of Windows since version 1.0. It has represented the crashing of computers — and the frustration of users — for decades. The BSoD was never intended to be user friendly, though. It was made for engineers who wanted to figure out why a PC crashed. For the rest of the world, it signifies the downside of owning a Windows device. The iconic Stop Error screen is getting a facelift with Windows 8. The redesigned OS also includes speed and stability improvements, a Metro interface...

$265 Bomb, $300 Billion War: The Economics of the 9/11 Era’s Signature Weapon

The signature weapon of the 9/11 Era is lethal, easily concealable and maddeningly easy to construct. But the greatest danger from the improvised explosive device — what ensures its endurance far from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan — lies in how cheap it is. The improvised explosive device, or IED, isn’t a bomb. It’s a category of bombs, and within that category, insurgent MacGyvers construct makeshift bombs from whatever they have at hand. The Iraqi insurgency often relied on looted stockpiles of artillery shells or mines, juryrigged together and detonated from a cellphone. In Afghanistan, insurgents can’t similarly rely on abandoned...
