Chef Master's International Flair Doesn't Make Up for Poor Database Design
By Lisa Cekan, PCWorld Aug 27, 2011 1:36 AM Given how many recipes are available on the Internet for just a few clicks, the only reason to buy a recipe storage program like Chef Master ($ 15, limited demo)is because of a superior interface. Unfortunately, this interface is not quick or easy to use. It’s simple and cute, with a blinking animated chef in the upper left and a nifty map of world continents that you can click on to bring up a list of countries. But once the novelty has worn off, Chef Master doesn’t do a good job of accessing recipes quickly and easily. Structuring it hierarchically by continent and then country means that you have to do much too much clicking to get to individual recipes. There’s no search function on the main page or even within the list of countries. You have to click the [...]

Microsoft Pulls Office for Mac 2011 SP2 Auto Update After Outlook Database Corruption [Mac Blog]

Our goal is provide the simplest update experience for everyone – so we have temporarily stopped pushing out the SP2 update through Microsoft AutoUpdate while we investigate the issue. Customers are still able to obtain the SP2 update via the [...]
FCC Plans Stolen Phone Database to Discourage Theft
By Jared Newman, PCWorld Apr 10, 2012 9:06 AM Wireless carriers and the Federal Communications Commission are working together on a plan to make stolen cell phones worthless. Together with law enforcement, they plan to create a database of phones reported as stolen. Wireless carriers would then disable voice and data services for these stolen phones, making them a lot less attractive on the black market. When a phone is stolen today, users can cancel their service through their wireless carrier, but that doesn’t stop thieves from reactivating the device under a separate service plan. Verizon and Sprint already block stolen phones from being reactivated, but GSM-based carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile, whose phones use swappable SIM cards, do not. The database will consist of Unique Device Identifiers, or UDIDs, so if carriers are blocking a specific UDID, inserting a new SIM card won’t work. GSM carriers will [...]
