IBM CONNECTED 2015: JANUARY 25-28 - ORLANDO, FLORIDA
In 2015, IBM Connect will transform into an even more in-depth technical event, “IBM ConnectED.” It is the ONE place where you can get the strategy, roadmaps, and deep “nuts and bolts” technical experience that is so important to our long-standing community. Specifically designed for technologists of all levels, including CIOs, IT managers and practitioners, as well as business leaders who advocate for social or digital transformation, this new event will offer deep-dive technical sessions, demos, labs and roundtables, access to IBM technical experts, and more.
 

COMING SOON: DOMINO PROTECTION AGAINST POODLE ATTACK
Get the details about IBM's plan for Domino server Interim Fixes over the next several weeks that implement TLS 1.0 with TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV for HTTP to protect against the POODLE attack. Implementing TLS 1.0 for Domino will protect against the POODLE attack and will allow browsers to still connect to Domino after they have been changed to address the POODLE attack.

COPY STATIONERY TO MULTIPLE NOTES MAILBOXES USING LOTUSSCRIPT CODE
Your company might want a group of users to use specific stationery (message template) when sending emails to customers. The code below can be copy/pasted into a Notes agent or button. It will allow a Domino administrator to copy stationery to multiple Notes mailboxes. The user can use the stationery by clicking Tools - Stationery in their mailbox. Stationery previously copied using this code will be deleted prior to copying new stationery. NOTE: The Domino admin must have at least Depositor access to the user mailboxes. After executing the code the Domino admin can click the Notes status bar to see if any errors displayed.

ADD A SCREENSHOT BUTTON IN A NOTES APPLICATION OR MAILBOX
A Domino developer might want to add a screenshot button in a Notes application or mailbox template if (1) Notes mailbox users have issues replying / forwarding to MIME HTML CSS emails, or (2) Notes app users have issues copy/pasting Notes app data to a non-Notes mail client.

Star Wars VII gets official title: 'The Force Awakens'
The official Star Wars Twitter account has also confirmed that the much-anticipated sequel has concluded principal photography. The news means that fans of George Lucas' sci-fi space series finally have a proper way of referring to the upcoming sequel, which will be the first of three new movies that follow on from the events of 1983's "Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi." (The three films released since '83 were prequels, with action that took place before what was depicted in the original "Star Wars" -- Episode IV -- released in 1977.)

Oculus 'many months away,' but virtual reality sunglasses will take a little longer
We might still not have jetpacks and flying cars, but another dangling promise of the technology world now seems one step closer. Virtual reality (VR) is a serious business, as confirmed by Facebook's acquisition of Oculus VR for $2 billion earlier this year. Now, the makers of the highly anticipated Oculus device seem on track to deliver a consumer model, which they say is "many months," but not years, away.

Microsoft makes Office free on mobile
In a sea change for Microsoft, Office is now available for free on mobile devices. For years, Microsoft hadn't even made Office available on mobile devices, let alone for free. That began to change in the summer of 2013, when Office came to the iPhone and eventually Android smartphones. Office didn't debut on the iPad until March of this year.

Apps aimed at children collect a shocking amount of data
That's one surprising takeaway from the results gathered by computer researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. They just launched PrivacyGrade.org, where every Android app is ranked on how it tracks you. Apps get a letter grade (A,B,C or D) that depends on two things: How the app tracks you and whether that tracking matches up with your expectations.

CNN commentators use Microsoft Surface as kickstand for iPads
Keen observers notice that what seemed like Surfaces on the surface actually held up iPads. CNN, however, says it had no product-placement deal with Microsoft. During last night's election coverage, CNN's wise electoral experts were seated in front of Microsoft Surface Pro 3s. Microsoft has been extremely active in getting the product on TV screens and this seemed like another example.
