A crowded car industry: From Big Three to Magnificent Seven

America’s carmakers are back. A posse of tough competitors is waiting for them
FOR the past two years the Detroit motor show has been a dismal affair. But this year the parties were in full swing again. Helped by government bail-outs and with debt burdens lightened by bankruptcy, Chrysler and GM are back on their feet; Ford, the other member of Detroit’s Big Three, is thriving. It took America’s car industry 20 years and a world war to recover the three-quarters of production wiped out by the 1929 crash. By comparison, the aftermath of the latest recession has been surprisingly comfortable.
Ominously for the locals, though, the biggest splash on opening day was made by a Volkswagen saloon, which is to be built in a new factory in Tennessee. Europe’s best big carmaker is taking aim at the heart of the American market for the first time in over 20 years. Its bold move is just one sign of growing fragmentation in a market once dominated by the Big Three and a small clutch of Japanese rivals. …

Skype, NYSE Error Top List of 13 Big Programming Failures of 2010
January 3rd, 2011 |
No Comments
As in most any year in the modern age, 2010 saw its share of problems due to programming errors, bugs and other shortcomings. A timing error with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) systems, a Skype crash, problems with Chase online banking, faulty automobile systems at Toyota and privacy breaches were among the years big-name software problems that might have been avoided at the programming level. For instance, the Skype outage, which affected a large number of Skype’s 560 million users, resulted from a bug in the Windows version of the software. In a blog post, Lars Rabbe, CIO at Skype, said the company needed to enhance its capability for testing for and detecting bugs. "While our Windows v5 software release was subject to extensive internal testing and months of Beta testing with hundreds of thousands of users, we will be reviewing our testing processes to determine better ways of detecting and avoiding bugs which could affect the system," Rabbe said in his post. Software application defects are inevitable, but developers have a better chance of catching them if they use enhanced debugging and code analysis platforms and employ Agile methods. In addition, companies such as Replay Solutions, Coverity, Corensic and others offer software to help developers detect and resolve programming issues during the development lifecycle. – …
