In the third quarter of 2013, Akamai observed attack traffic originating from 185 countries. China regained the top position as the largest source of attacks at 35% of observed traffic, up slightly from the prior quarter. Indonesia, previously the top source, fell to second at 20% of traffic. The US saw significant growth and was the third largest source at 11% of attacks. Overall, the top 10 countries accounted for 83% of attacks, down slightly from the prior quarter. Port 445 surpassed ports 80 and 443 to become the most targeted port.

Open Signal 2014 Android Fragmentation ReportDario Caliendo
Al pari delle più importanti ricorrenze, arriva puntuale anche quest'anno il rapporto di Open Signal sullo stato di Android, un appuntamento che si rinnova annualmente, con il quale l'azienda specializzata nello studio statistico dei fenomeni relativi alla telefonia mobile rappresenta graficamente l'evoluzione dell'ecosistema del colosso della tecnologia di Mountain View, sempre più diffuso ma caratterizzato da enormi limiti non del tutto negativi.
Con un brevetto depositato nelle scorse ore all'US Patent & Trademark Office, Apple alimenta le speranze di esperti e appassionati di tutto il mondo, che sin dalla sua prima introduzione con l'iPhone 5, attendono l'introduzione di Siri anche su computer.
L'assistente digitale più famoso del mondo arriverà presto in Mac OS X, e a descriverne le funzioni è proprio un brevetto di ben novantadue pagine intitolato “Assistente digitale intelligente in un ambiente desktop". Attivabile tramite una gesture nel trackpad multitouch dei Mac, oppure tramite la frase "Hey Siri", il funzionamento dell'assistente digitale per Mac sarà molto simile a quello già visto su iPhone e iPad, ma oltre alle tipiche possibilità di utilizzo, Siri per Mac analizzerà contestualmente le abitudini dell'utente e apprenderà nuove in maniera del tutto autonoma.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Letter From the Editor
Over the last five-plus years, the State of the Internet Report has grown into a key reference for those involved in
broadband initiatives around the world, whether at an industry or government level. I am extremely excited to see
that it has become such a valuable resource for those tracking the progress of high-speed Internet connectivity in
their state or country. Going forward, I am confident that average and average peak connection speeds, as well as
high broadband and broadband adoption levels, will continue to improve over the long term, and that the State of
the Internet Report and associated data visualization tools will continue to provide valuable and actionable data for
this constituency.
While those tracking broadband progress often focus primarily on wired connectivity, we also need to make sure
that we don’t lose sight of the progress being made on mobile Internet connectivity as well. While the State of the
Internet Report currently provides somewhat limited insight into connection speeds across mobile network providers,
we plan to improve this insight throughout 2014, expanding the scope of coverage. In addition, the often vast
differences in experience across users on various types of devices and platforms on mobile and fixed connections
means that content providers are now faced with the challenge of optimizing for each unique user experience –
something known as “situational performance”. In this issue, we begin looking at situational performance, analyzing
actual end-user performance measurement data from Akamai customers that have implemented Akamai’s Real User
Monitoring (RUM). Going forward, we plan to expand this insight as well, looking at things like differences between
device types and trends over time.
In addition, the ongoing improvements in Internet connectivity and the growth in connected devices continue
to contribute to the exhaustion of available IPv4 address space. This exhaustion has, in part, driven growth in
the adoption of IPv6, though arguably not quite as fast as necessary. Starting with this issue of the report, we
are also looking at IPv6 adoption rates at a country and network level, as observed from content requests to the
Akamai Intelligent Platform, highlighting those that have taken a leadership position in making this important new
technology available. We will track changes and trends in this data going forward.
Finally, Akamai is launching a State of the Internet companion application for Apple iOS devices. The app provides
easy access to interactive State of the Internet data, including the ability to drill down on trends over time at a
country level. Each new issue of the report will be available through the app as it is published, and a library of past
issues of the report is available as well. The app also includes a feed of State of the Internet-related news items. To
download it onto your iPhone or iPad (iOS 6 or 7 required), search the Apple iOS App Store for “Akamai’s State of
the Internet”.
As always, if you have questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the State of the Internet Report, connect with
us via e-mail at stateoftheinternet@akamai.com or on Twitter at @akamai_soti.
