Lean ops for startups 4 leaders share their secrets

Posted by Ori Weinroth, Google Cloud Platform Marketing

As a CTO, VP R&D, or CIO at a technology startup you typically need to maneuver and make the most out of limited budgets. Chances are, you’ve never had your CEO walk in and tell you, “We’ve just closed our Series A round. You now have unlimited funding to launch version 1.5.”

So how do you extract real value from what you’re given to work with? We’re gathering four start technology leaders for a free webinar discussion around exactly that: their strategies and tactics for operating lean. They will cover key challenges and share tips and tricks for:

• Reducing burn rate by making smart tech choices
• Getting the most out of a critical but finite resource - your dev team
• Avoiding vendor lock-in so as to maximize cost efficiencies

We’ve invited the following technology leaders from some of today’s most dynamic startups:

• Yorick Phoenix, CTO, Issio Solutions
• Erich Ess, CTO, Simple Relevance
• Greg Roodt, CTO, AirHelp
• Raphael Ouzan, CTO, BillGuard

Apple Releases iOS 7 beta 4 to Developers With New Added Features

Apple have released iOS 7 beta 4 today to its developers.  Although the release should have come before now but perhaps due to the recent security breach in Apples Developers website the beta 4 took this long.

As always iOS 7 beta 4 can be downloaded directly to your phone by going to the Software Updates section on your phone via Settings menu.

 

New features and enhancements have been added to those previously seen in beta 3. These new features and enhancements should make iOS 7 even more desirable. 

Below is the list of newly added features/enhancements.

1 Lock screen UI tweaked, no longer has confusing up arrow. 

2. Call button in phone app, Answer/Decline buttons refreshed.

3. Animations are noticeably faster
 

4. Minor changes to Spotlight UI

5. New ‘completed uploads’ option in Notification Center.

6. In Messages, it now only shows the first letter of the last name of the person you’re chatting with.

7. HDR On/Off button relocated in Camera app.

8. You can now swipe between Today-All-Missed views in Notification Center.

9. New AirPlay icons Shuffle All Songs option is back in Music app.

10. New search bar in Reminders app.

11. Improved navigation in Settings app.

12. Apple now asks if you want to “Help Improve Maps” when you first launch Maps app.

13. New “Improve Maps” opt-in program in Privacy section of Settings.

14. Tweaked Maps.app icons.

15. Saved Password for Safari now asks you to setup an on-device password.

16. Pin in Maps app now shows estimated driving time to location.

17. New ‘Dial Assist’ feature in Phone app

18. Filters now available in Camera app for iPhone 4S (iPhone 4?)

19. New Q&A section in Siri’s info sheet

Also, this new beta version makes it clear that iPhone 5S would have a finger print sensor. This deduction was made after seeing the biometric source code like the one shown below.

Things are getting pretty interesting and Apple seem to be making good progress in making sure that the next iPhone with improved camera, processor and finger print sensor, become  a smash and the best iPhone yet.

Nokias Normandy appears on Antutu Benchmark apparently runs Android 4 4 1

If youve been following the news lately, then you might have come across the rumors about Nokia working on an Android phone of some sort. The Nokia Normandy, as it is being referred to, is believed to be a rather modest handset running a highly modified variant of Googles mobile OS. Also, it might have been already scrapped according to recent reports.

Yet not long ago, the reliable source known as @evleaks suggested that the Nokia Normandy project might actually be still alive and kicking. And he could be on the right track now that we seem to have benchmark data for Nokias rumored Android device.

The hardware data for a phone labeled as the Nokia A110 appeared on AnTuTu, indicating that the handset has a Snapdragon processor, a 5MP camera, and a screen with a resolution of 854 by 480 pixels. Furthermore, the tested device runs Android 4.4.1, according to the leak. Thats all in terms of specs that the screenshots reveal.

Of course, having all this information does not guarantee that this alleged Android phone by Nokia will ever materialize. We could be looking at test data from a scrapped prototype device of some kind. But of course, todays leak also suggests that Nokia is not totally against launching an Android phone of its own. Guess well just have to wait and see whats in Nokias plans, but if the Nokia Normandy is meant to see the light of day, than we might get to see it in the flesh next month at MWC.PhoneArena
