Solar satellite arrives at Vandenberg AFB for launch

Leave a comment

(Phys.org) —NASA’s Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) satellite arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Tuesday, April 16, to begin its final preparations for launch currently scheduled no earlier than May 28. IRIS will improve our understanding of how heat and energy move through the deepest levels of the sun’s atmosphere, thereby increasing our ability to forecast space weather. Following final checkouts, the IRIS spacecraft will be placed inside an Orbital Sciences Pegasus rocket. Deployment of the Pegasus from the L-1011 carrier aircraft is targeted for 7:27 p.m. PDT at an altitude of 39,000 feet at a location over the Pacific Ocean about 100 miles northwest of Vandenberg AFB off the central coast of California south of Big Sur.

Microsoft to host June BUILD dev conference on Apple's home turf

Leave a comment

Microsoft says that its BUILD 2013 developers conference will be held June 26-28 on Apple’s home turf, San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

Apple has hosted its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at Moscone since 2003, and will likely again this year. The probable dates for this year’s WWDC, according to the venue’s calendar, are June 10-14.

BUILD 2013 will focus on Windows 8, according to the website Microsoft relaunched Tuesday, but it will also cover other technologies, ranging from Azure and Internet Explorer to Office 365 and Windows Phone.

Microsoft has not yet posted an agenda for the conference, but it did peg the opening of registration for April 2 at 9 a.m. PDT. Developers should set an alarm to ring before the ticket kick-off; last year, BUILD sold out in under an hour. Registration will take place on the BUILD website.

Microsoft blames Outlook, Hotmail outage on overheated servers, apologizes

Leave a comment

The outage that left Outlook.com and Hotmail users without access to their emails for almost 16 hours this week was due to overheating servers in the data center, Microsoft said.

The service disruption began at around 1.30 p.m. PDT on March 12 and affected access to Hotmail.com and Outlook.com, as well as some SkyDrive service users. The issue was fixed some 16 hours later, at around 5.40 a.m. PDT on March 13. At the time, Microsoft acknowledged the problems but did not issue an explanation.

Arthur de Haan, Microsoft’s vice president, explained in a blog post late on Wednesday that the outage happened after the company updated firmware on a core part of its systems.

He wrote: “This is an update that had been done successfully previously, but failed in this specific instance in an unexpected way. This failure resulted in a rapid and substantial temperature spike in the datacenter. This spike was significant enough before it was mitigated that it caused our safeguards to come in to place for a large number of servers in this part of the datacenter.”

New Survey Reveals Shifting Consumer Views on Email Marketing

BlueHornet Networks releases report analyzing firsthand responses from more than 1,000 U.S. consumers

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– BlueHornet Networks, Inc., a leading enterprise email service provider and business unit of Digital River, Inc. (NAS: DRIV) , today released its 2013 Consumer Views of Email Marketing report: www.bluehornet.com/ConsumerViews2013. The results highlight important findings around consumer behavior and sentiment toward email marketing. The survey includes response data from a national panel of 1,000 U.S. consumers between the ages of 25 and 40 who live in urban or suburban areas.

Among the key survey findings:

  • Email-enabled mobile device usage increased by eight percent since 2012, and 43 percent of consumers say they read emails most often on a mobile device.
  • Sixty-three percent of consumers say they may buy from an email read on a mobile device, while the number who may unsubscribe due to poor mobile display exceeds 30 percent (graph 1).
  • Nearly 84 percent of consumers report discounts as the most important reason for signing up to receive emails and 74.2 percent will redeem a discount by showing their mobile device to a cashier.
  • Nearly 70 percent of consumers open emails from familiar brands whose products they already consume.
  • In 2013, seven percent more consumers will consider opting down instead of unsubscribing when given the choice compared to 2012.

In addition to analyzing 2013 survey results, the report includes year-over-year comparisons of consumer research conducted by BlueHornet in 2012.

“By surveying similar demographic groups and asking several of the same questions each year, we’ve been able to identify shifts in how consumers view email marketing,” said Susan Tull, vice president of marketing for BlueHornet. “By including new questions for 2013, this year’s report provides marketers with useful data in understanding possible future trends and behavior patterns.”

To discuss the survey results in more detail, BlueHornet will host a live webinar on Thursday, Mar. 21, at 10:00 a.m. PDT/ 1:00 p.m. EDT. The webinar will showcase video interviews with consumers and highlight examples from retail email programs that support key takeaways and recommendations. …read more
