MySQL co-founder David Axmark at OrangeHRM Sri Lanka
MySQL co-founder and Director of OrangeHRM Inc., David Axmark visited
the company's R&D centre in Colombo last month.
OrangeHRM made sure the visit of this iconic figure was used to the
benefit of IT students and arranged for two guest speeches at the
Universities of Moratuwa and Colombo.
 David spoke of how MySQL began in the late 70s with Michael 'Monty'
Widenius and how it went on to be sold to Sun Micro Systems for a
billion dollars. He said "OrangeHRM is a unique application and the
world's most popular open source Human Resource Information System (HRIS).
It has proven its success through its innovative features and ease of
use."
He encouraged students not to simply be constrained to learning
programming languages but to think beyond by learning the concepts of
engineering, which would allow them to keep their options open. He said,
"Too much focus on languages such as NET or Java has led to high quality
languages such as PHP being ignored.
Development languages can come and go but a solid software foundation
will help you to build on any new languages that will come in the
future".
Co-founder and CEO of OrangeHRM Sujee Saparamadu said that there were
over a million users using the OrangeHRM system globally. CTO of
OrangeHRM and graduate of the University of Moratuwa Himath Dissanayake
and Project Manager at OrangeHRM and graduate of the University of
Colombo Nilufer Nilar shared their experiences of OrangeHRM and advised
students to learn IT in the proper way.
Is Sony making a PlayStation phone?
The fabled PlayStation Phone has finally surfaced, and it is
definitely packing Google's Android OS.
A few months ago, rumors surfaced about the existence of a
PlayStation Phone, a hybrid mobile and gaming device with a 5-megapixel
camera, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, slide-out gaming pad and the Android
Gingerbread OS. While those reports contained several details concerning
the device, there wasn't much in terms of proof.
Now Engadget has delivered strong evidence that the device exists.
The technology blog has posted a series of crisp pictures of the device,
and unless someone went to extreme lengths to create a false prototype,
it looks legitimate to us. Engadget reports that the PlayStation Phone
sports 512 MB of RAM, 1 GB of ROM and a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon
chip.

FTC ends Google 'Street View' investigation without fines
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has called off its investigation of
Google's "Street View" mapping program without issusing fines to the
company, according to a letter sent from the FTC to Google on Wednesday.
The federal agency had been investigating the fact that Google
collected communications, including passwords and e-mails, from people
who used open Wi-Fi networks in their homes. The data collections, which
Google says were inadvertent, happened while Google was driving around
taking pictures for the Street View function on Google Maps, the
Mountain View, California, company said.
The FTC said Google has sufficiently addressed the problem.
"Google has made assurances to the FTC that the company has not used
and will not use any of the payload data collected in any Google product
or service, now or in the future," David C. Vladeck, the FTC's director
for consumer protection, in a letter to Google, which was posted on the
FTC's website.
"This assurance is critical to mitigate the potential harm to
consumers from the collection of payload data. Because of these
commitments, we are ending our inquiry into this matter at this time."
Google, which first mentioned the fact that it had "sniffed" this Wi-Fi
data in May, said in a blog post last week that the data included more
sensitive information than was previously thought.
