1) Nokia unveiled its new Lumia smartphones, the Lumia 920 and 820, but investors were disappointed as the phones failed to impress and Nokia's stock plummeted 13%.
2) While the Lumia phones have improved features like bigger screens and better cameras, analysts said they were evolutionary rather than revolutionary improvements and lacked the "wow factor" investors were hoping for.
3) With its financial losses, Nokia needs a hit with these new Lumia phones to regain market share from Apple, Samsung, and Google, but the phones did not appear to pose a significant threat to the dominant iPhone and analysts were skeptical they would dramatically increase Nokia's market share.
The internet era is growing tremendously and so is the production and usability of mobile phones. Smartphones have gained the cutting-edge importance in the digital arena. They have become an indispensable and inseparable aspect of our routine.

The Importance of Object-Oriented Programming in This Era of Mobile Applicati...iosrjce
In the past two decades object oriented programming has become the dominant programming OOP
paradigm used by application developers. Object oriented programming scales very well, from the most trivial
of problems to the most complex tasks. It provides a form of abstraction that resonates with techniques people
use to solve problems in their everyday life. Although the fundamental features of what we now call objectoriented
programming were invented in the 1960's, object oriented languages really came to the attention of the
computing public in the 1980's. Software producers rush to release object oriented versions of their products.
Countless books and special issues of academic and trade journals have appeared on the subject. Objectoriented
programming is being greeted with even more enthusiasm than we saw heralding earlier revolutionary
ideas, such as structured programming". The intent in this publication is to emphasize and explain the
importance of object-oriented programming in this era of mobile development, and in doing so to illustrate the
following two propositions: OOP is a revolutionary idea, totally unlike anything that has come before in
programming, OOP is an evolutionary step, following naturally on the heels of earlier programming techniques.

Nokia- Microsoft alliance in the smartphone industry CASE StuD.docxhenrymartin15260
Nokia- Microsoft alliance in the smartphone industry
CASE StuDy
The Nokia-Microsoft Alliance in the Global Smartphone Industry (circa 2011)
The Nokia-Microsoft strategic alliance was announced in early 2011 to cooperate in the de- velopment of smartphones. The Wall Street Journal wrote: “Nokia calls Microsoft for help.”1 The Financial Times observed: “Elop jumps into the arms of former boss.”2 The alliance was specifically initiated by Stephen Elop, an ex-Microsoft executive who had worked with Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. No wonder Nokia hired Elop to become its CEO in 2010. This was a calculated move by Nokia to grow in an industry that carried good prospects for the future. In addition, Elop’s expertise was in the software sector, where Nokia wanted to venture into the future. Both companies needed a partner to expand in an industry that was in a growth mode. Besides this, Nokia was particularly vulnerable because of its losing market share and because Apple’s iPhone was growing in the U.S. and global markets. Microsoft was interested in Nokia because of its long-term interest regarding introducing Windows phone technology/software. Since Nokia continued to be a global player in the cell phone industry, it made sense to create a corporate tie-up that aimed at global expansion for both companies. Success of Apple’s iPhone was another factor in seeking a long-term alliance in a market that has grown multifold in the global mobile phone market.
In 2012, Nokia was the largest manufacturer of mobile phones and other telecom gear in the world with revenues of $55 billion and a market capitalization of $19 billion. Microsoft, on the other hand, was the largest software maker in the world and generated revenues of $69 bil- lion. The company carried a healthy market capitalization in 2011 that stood at $266 billion.3 By being a cash-rich company, Microsoft was able to inject a sizable amount of money in the alliance. As of February 2012, a closer look at the alliance reveals that both companies’ plans worked well. Nokia has released a new series of mobile devices, called Lumina, with Microsoft’s Windows technology. At the same time, Nokia continues to lose market share in the global mobile industry because of its aging technology (“Symbian”). Google’s Android is a clear winner because of high demand, followed by Apple’s iPhone. Google has done well since its acquisition of Motorola’s Mobility.4 Value Line in 2012 wrote: “Nokia’s operating results continue to deteriorate; the transition of the smartphone is under way; over time, Windows Phone will be the software driving Nokia’s upscale handsets.”5 Although Nokia was always the market leader in mobile technology, its anemic strategies in the global market indicate that the company is losing steam in the mobile phone industry. The situation is the same with Research in Motion’s Blackberry, which continues to lose market share in global markets. Just a few years ago, Blackberry was the main play.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

De-mystifying Zero to One: Design Informed Techniques for Greenfield Innovati...
Nokia lumia820,920
1. Nokia Lumia 920, Lumia 820 disappoint investors
Helsinki:
Nokia shares plummeted 13 per cent after its new Lumia
smartphones failed to impress investors looking for
transformational handsets to rescue the struggling Finnish
company.
Nokia and its partner Microsoft Corp showcased the Lumia 920
phone on Wednesday in what may be their last major shot at
reclaiming market share lost to Apple Inc, Samsung Electronics Co
Ltd and Google Inc.
pas chere air max
Microsoft and Nokia hope the device - sporting bright colors, a
bigger screen and technology that reduces blur and shakiness in
pictures and video - will become a potent weapon in an escalating
global war to dominate the mobile industry. But investors said it
lacked "wow" and gave it a quick thumbs-down. Some analysts
said Nokia's reticence about dates, prices or carrier partners also
did not help.
Nokia shares traded in Helsinki began sliding midway
through the New York launch and ended down 13 per cent at 1.99
euros, their biggest single-day loss since June. Nokia's U.S.-listed
stock closed down nearly 16 percent at $2.38. The stock had
gained 67 percent since mid-July as anticipation built ahead of the
Lumia's unveiling. The Lumia was the first in a flurry of planned
2. mobile-device launches expected ahead of the holiday shopping
season.
Google's Motorola Mobility showed off three new
smartphones based on Android software later on Wednesday.
Verizon Wireless the top U.S. mobile provider committed to sell all
three of the Motorola phones. Amazon.com Inc will unwrap its new
Kindle Fire tablets on Thursday and Apple is expected to unveil the
latest version of its seminal iPhone on September 12. "The
challenge is that the world is working on the 4th, 5th and 6th
editions of their devices, while Nokia is still trying to move from
chapter 1. It still has quite a bit to catch up," said RBC analyst
Mark Sue. "People were looking for something that would dazzle.
Most investors will view it as evolutionary, not revolutionary. Nokia
has made some good progress, but investors were looking for
quantum leaps. We didn't get that." Many of the industry analysts
who saw the phone up close in New York deemed it a solid device
with a few differentiating features. But it did not push the envelope
as Nokia CEO Stephen Elop had promised. The device runs on the
latest Windows Phone operating system, which Microsoft - the
world's largest software maker - hopes will rival Apple's iOS and
Google's Android to become a third mobile platform.
Nokia announced no partnerships with wireless service
providers, leading some analysts to worry this was a sign of weak
carrier support. The Finnish handset maker said it would announce
pricing and roll-out dates for the new Lumia later on a country-by-
country basis. "It is impossible to assess this launch without price
and roll-out info. This is disappointing," said Bengt Nordstrom,
CEO of telecommunications consultancy Northstream. For
Microsoft, successful Lumia sales could convince more handset
makers and carriers to support Windows Phone 8, which promises
3. faster performance and a customizable start screen. Samsung last
week became the first to announce a smartphone running that
software, which it said it would begin selling as early as next
month. Niike Air Max Tn
If the new phones do not appeal to consumers, it could
spell the end for money-losing Nokia and deal a serious blow to
Microsoft in its attempts to regain its footing in the market. "We're
working with our carrier partners to finalize our plans," said Jo
Harlow, executive vice president of smart devices for Nokia.
Windows phones have captured only 3.7 percent of the global
smartphone market, according to Strategy Analytics. Asked about
estimates that Windows phones might account for 10 percent of
the market by the end of 2013, Harlow said: "With momentum, if
we're at 10 percent at the end of 2013, I'd be a happy girl."
Ecosystem warriors Nokia badly needs a hit. It has logged more
than 3 billion euros ($3.8 billion) in operating losses in the past 18
months, forcing it to cut 10,000 jobs. Its share of the global
smartphone market has plunged to less than 10 percent from 50
percent during its heyday, before the iPhone arrived in 2007. The
Lumia 920 - billed as the flagship Windows phone - uses
"PureView" and floating-lens technology for its 8.7 megapixel
camera to reduce blurring and shakiness from hand motion, and
has wireless charging capability.
Powered by Qualcomm Inc's Snapdragon processor, it
comes with augmented reality technology that lets users see
details of their surroundings through the camera. And it sports a
bigger, brighter, 4.5-inch screen than Nokia's previous
smartphones, taking a page from rivals such as Samsung, which
has backed larger displays. Attendees at the New York event did
not see the Lumia as a significant threat to the iPhone, the device
4. that revolutionized the mobile industry and popularized the model
of a third-party developer "ecosystem," today considered pivotal to
the success of any operating system. Part of the reason for the
limited success of Windows phones is that they support only
100,000 or so apps, compared with about 500,000 or more for
Android or iPhones. Apple's and Google's entrenched positions -
where consumers have already invested heavily in apps and
content - discourages switching to a new mobile system. Windows
Phone 8, however, might have several factors in its favor. It is
similar to the Windows 8 desktop and tablet software to be
released October 26, making it easier for developers to write apps
for both.
Microsoft hopes this will boost the platform's popularity.
"The big difference versus Android is that there is a big Microsoft
developer base that will catch on quicker, once there is a sufficient
customer base," said Magnus Jern, founder and chief executive of
Barcelona-based Golden Gekko, which has created Windows
Phone apps for Heathrow Airport and for Yellow Pages in many
European countries. Many developers already working on iOS and
Android may look to support Windows via HTML5 - a Web
programming standard intended to work across different mobile
platforms - to avoid having to fund a third or fourth development
team. "HTML5 apps require less skilled resources to achieve a
minimum level of service. And although it's a compromise, it works
and is usually an acceptable compromise," Jern said. The new
Lumias could also benefit from the continuing decline in Research
In Motion Ltd's BlackBerry and from a recent legal setback for the
Android operating system.
A California jury decided last month that some of
Samsung's hot-selling Android smartphones copied features from
5. the iPhone, which might result in import bans and drive handset
makers to put more resources into making Windows-based
phones. But for Nokia and Microsoft to exploit that window of
opportunity, they must first win over consumers, who so far have
shown little enthusiasm for Windows smartphones. "If you were
looking for an iPhone knock-out punch, this isn't it. That's not
going to happen with one product," said Ross Rubin, an analyst at
Recticle Research.
