Your inability to land a job might be blamed on the economy, your chosen college major or just the fact that you're not a code-happy engineer For many, it's less about finding a job and more about finding a good job. Those are the underemployed in the Millennial generation who don't show up in unemployment reports SEE ALSO: To Land the Job, Do Something Different Meanwhile, the older generations have one word for what Millennials are experiencing: Entitlement, or wanting to have things without working to earn them However, a Pew Research Study shows Millennials are not entitled; rather, having a high-paying job is low on their list of priorities, underneath both helping others and being a good parent Read more...More about Job Search, Millennials, Job Search Series, Business, and Jobs

Question:I use iCal [actually, it's now called "Calendar" -DT] on my MacBook extensively because of how neatly it syncs with my iPhone calendar through iCloud. I add an event and it's everywhere. Very nice. What I don't like is that if I set an event, tap it as "done" so the reminder vanishes, there's no way to have a post-event alarm or reminder appear. Or is there?Answer:Sounds like you're stuck in the same issue a lot of us have, trying to differentiate between a to-do / reminders list and specific calendar...Continue reading Dave's answer...

The Apple iPhone 5S, iPad mini 2 and iPad 5 are all devices provoking attention at the moment as the next iterations in their respective lines. None of these has been officially named yet and many are also referring to the next iPhone as the iPhone 6. We’ve posted many times now about various leaks and rumors on all three devices and today we have news that new Corning Lotus XT Glass may be used on these products. Recently we’ve informed readers about new possible input features for the iPhone 5S/6 and also showed some leaked components said to be for this device. We also told yesterday about suppliers being selected for the display panels for the iPad mini 2 but this is the first time we’ve heard about the possibility of Corning Lotus XT Glass. Apple currently uses Corning Glass for its iPhones and iPads and so it makes sense that if Corning was to come up with a new improved glass Apple would also use this for its future devices. Corning has been developing its Lotus XT Glass, said to be thinner and stronger and designed for high-performance displays, such as Apple’s Retina display. The upcoming Lotus XT would be easier for Apple to work with and is also said to increase yield while cutting manufacturing costs. The key benefit of this new glass is that it allows more light through which means the backlight has to do less and this will increase the vibrancy of colors and reduce power consumption. Cult of Mac reports that this Lotus XT Glass looks as if it could be a “prime contender” for the iPhone 5S, iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5. Corning has just announced the commercial use of Corning Lotus XT Glass and will be showing this latest innovation at SID Display Week in Vancouver from May 21 to May 23. You can see a Corning video below this story that introduces the Lotus XT Glass, why the company developed it and how it responds to changing market demands. This is an interesting development and hopefully the closer we get to the release of the iPhone 5S or 6, iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5, the more we’ll hear about whether this new Corning Glass will be used for these devices. Do you think that Apple will be ready to use Corning XT Glass on these upcoming devices? What else would you like to see for the next iPad, iPad mini and iPad? Let us know with your comments.

Hey, kid. Yeah, I’m talkin’ to you. You wanna buy some- oh jeez, shush! Police and/or an out-of-touch politician! OK, phew. They’ve passed now. Anyway, might I interest you in some videogames? Oh, don’t worry: they’re real. Fresh out of the oven too, if you know what I mean. Heh. What’ve I got? You’re in luck today, kid. Yes indeed. Ever wonder what it’d feel like to be god - and also a planet, and also some manner of crab giant? Well then, Reus might just float your boat, if you know what I mean. Heh. No good? Brain too rotten from your “Call of Honorfield” murder machines? Hm, then how about Renaissance Heroes? It’s got all of the guns and none of the plausibility! Go to beauteous portions of 16th century Renaissance Europe and then blow them up! That sort of thing. Oh, you want trailers? Mr high-roller, huh? Fine, fine. Go past the break and they’re all yours. If you know what I mean. Heh. (more…)

Google keeps re-inventing its Chrome app store constantly. There are a lot of cool new apps that make life easier, especially for the on-the-go end user. At a time when desktops are disappearing and the demand for offline apps is increasing, the Chrome app store has come out with a pretty impressive list of apps that do not occupy a lot of memory on your device. The following list of apps gives a clear idea of where the Chrome app store is headed: 1. Codenvy IDE: This gives you the chance to write code right inside Chrome. It is a collaborative app and enables developers to use PHP, Python, JavaScript, Heroku, Google App Engine and lots more. The collaborative feature of this app helps it stand apart from the usual crowd of development apps like CoffeeScript IDE or ShiftEdit. 2. Google App set : You can get everything from Google Drive to Gmail Offline to Google Keep right in the Chrome app store. The most amazing aspect of Google apps is that all of them are active offline. The same goes for Goggle Calendar or the Chrome Remote Desktop. With Google apps that work offline, it is easy to find and use information and the process is similar to online data access. Google apps are one-of-a-kind apps and deserve a special mention in the Chrome app store. 3. Tomatoes: This is an app that keeps you on your feet all day. Based on the Pomodoro technique of work efficiency, the app helps you check your work-score. You can set a time frame of twenty-five minutes and check your progress. You can also compete with others on a leaderboard. 4. WeVideo: Bring out the video editor in you through the nifty video editing app, WeVideo. It enables you to split video clips, trim and add multiple effects. It’s not a replacement for Adobe Premier but a smart app for the video editing hobbyist in you. It covers many basic editing needs and is a neat little app for editing novices. 5. TwistedWave: This is Chrome’s audio editing app that allows you to modify audio files for up to thirty seconds. You can slice them, remove fade outs, add audio effects and save everything in SoundCloud or Google Drive. All you need is a free account sign up. 6. Write Space: This is another Chrome app that also works offline. This app has a built-in data saving feature and presents a no-distraction writing space. It resembles Google Docs in a few important ways. The writing area can be personalized and is contained in the browser completely. 7. Pixlr Editor: It is a photo editing app that allows you to apply basic photo effects and alterations to the image file. You can alter the color and apply popular filters like Vignette or HDR to your images. Not a high ended photo editing app by any means, Pixlr Editor is a handy tool for the on-the-go photo editor in you. 8. Cryptocat: This app is meant to keep all your chats locked up and private, exactly the way you want those to be. It ensures that there is no intrusion of your chat privacy and that you can converse with friends without worrying about conversation spies. These apps are very popular among Chrome users and free them from filling their devices with numerous useless software and extensions.

Enterprise cloud adoption revolves around pushing the BYOD movement and focusing on data security. In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Ross Brouse, COO and President of Solar VPS, will cover how cloud adoption is driven by consumerism, humanity’s need to socialize, our addiction to new gadgets and the ability of data to stay secure in a growing collaborative world. The cloud is a drug and we’re just getting hooked. Ross Brouse is the COO and President of Solar VPS. He is a true creative thinker.

Spark Inspector (US$39.99 single-license) offers an exciting new development tool. Targeting devs looking to refine their user interfaces, it enables you to interactively tweak view properties like frames and layers. The app centers around an Interface Builder-like experience, with familiar-looking attribute and size inspectors. If you're comfortable in Xcode 4, you'll easily find your way around this tool. In addition, it provides a custom layer inspector -- one that could (and, honestly should) inspire Apple. It enables you to update layer attributes like shadows and transforms, while viewing the results in real time. Perfect for devs who otherwise write their interfaces in code (I am guilty as charged), it breaks out of the tweak-build-run loop that takes up so much time and energy in the normal development day. Instead, you apply your tweaks within the app itself, adjusting the interface until it looks just right. This is the point at which Spark Inspector displays its one big weakness (keep in mind that it's still in development). Instead of producing an updated XIB (which would be okay) or PaintCode-like Objective-C output suitable for re-integration to your apps (which would kick ass), you take responsibility for transferring values back to your Xcode project. Honestly, It's not a huge deal -- especially when your tweaks change a constant from say 50 to 58.5 -- but it's something that could be a killer feature in future updates. For now, you make notes of what values worked best for you. And no, there's no "bookmark this UI for later comparison" option either, another thing I would have liked to have seen. One of Spark Inspector's nicest features is its 3D extrusion display. This pushes views out in parent-child hierarchies, letting you explore and select items with more tangible visualization than you get in IB. Spark Inspector also offers a notification inspector, which may be useful for some devs. If you're already writing your UIs from code, however, you probably know how to set up a listener that logs notifications. Setup is easy. There's a setup assistant for configuring Xcode projects, or (if you're paranoid like I am) add both the SparkInspector and libz frameworks to your dev builds, making sure to enable the -ObjC flag in Other Linker Flags. Include the SparkInspector header as such: and enable the inspector in your application delegate, typically in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: Make sure you test using the simulator, and not (as I first tried) on device. The standalone Spark Inspector app (DMG) must be running. As soon as your app hits the "enable observation" stage, it seamlessly connects to the inspector, and you're ready to test and tweak. For forty bucks, this promises to be a valuable tool that many devs will benefit from. If you'd like to kick the tires before you buy, there's a free 30 day trial available on the Spark Inspector website. If you do decide to buy, you purchase directly from the vendor.DevJuice: Spark Inspector offers real time iOS interface inpection originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Sat, 18 May 2013 10:00:00 EST.

When BlackBerry announced they were rebranding BlackBerry World to BlackBerry Live for 2013, we just knew we had to kick up our coverage for the annual event to include a live component. Hence, the idea for CrackBerry Live was born. Doing live video content is a challenge on many fronts, but thanks to our friends at GeekBeat.TV, we pulled it off without a hiccup. Where we were lacking on the gear and experience front, John P. and Kien Tran were not and they helped pull it all together and kept us on track all week long. We've been receiving great feedback on all of our CrackBerry Live content. In the video above we take a behind the scenes look at the entire setup and what it took to produce to CrackBerry Live this year. Enjoy!
