Members of the European Parliament's internal market and consumer protection committee voted unanimously Thursday in favor of a new law mandating universal chargers for mobile devices.

Selecting Vertical Markets in a Digital World: Digital CPA 2013

We?ve talked with hundreds of accounting professionals through CPA2Biz?s Professional Services, helping them to build out their digital practices over the years, we?ve heard a resounding theme come across loud and clear: How do I ?verticalize?? Firms that are looking to transition from more traditional, historical based compliance services to more prospective, forward-looking services have found that the secret sauce to reaching a much more impactful and deeper level of services is to focus on vertical or niche market(s). Having the knowledge to do this and actually having the right strategy to deploy successfully are different matters entirely; in this case having the right strategy can mean the difference between ultimate success and failure. Successful firms also realize that as they reach deeper levels of engagement with their clients when they become their true strategic partners and ultimately appreciate the true reason, or ?why,? they became accounting professionals to begin with. That?s why I am so very excited to be speaking on this topic at this year?s Digital CPA: 2013 CPA2Biz Cloud User Conference on November 20 ? 22 at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center. This session will be entitled ?Selecting Vertical Markets in a Digital World? and...

New software uses facial recognition to defend against prying eyes

Having the right programs and hardware to keep the information on your display safe from prying eyes is never a bad idea, and new software from Oculis Labs offers a very interesting take on how to do just that. It's called PrivateEye, and it utilizes facial recognition to automatically pixelate the contents of your display when you look away.

If you step away from your system and someone else decides to sit down and poke around, PrivateEye will present a confusing jumble of garbled text. It'll even notify you if someone tries to peek over your shoulder -- and display a picture of your peeping Tom, throw up an alert, or sound an alarm.

Check out the video embed after the break, and share your thoughts in the comments!

Windows 8 welcome screen revealed, looks very Metro

windows 8 welcome screen
It's not really a secret the Microsoft had planned on bringing bits of Windows Phone 7's Metro UI to Windows 8, but we haven't seen a lot of really telling evidence. However, with the Windows 8 milestone 3 build now available to Microsoft Connect partners, it was really just a matter of time before we started to get a peek.

Thanks to Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott, we've now had a glimpse at what the Windows 8 welcome screen will look like. As you can see, the typography is very Metro indeed. Within Windows also mentions that the background image is customizable, and we're wondering if it might not pull from your current Windows 8 theme. This particular shot shows the CTRL + ALT + DELETE login option, but we imagine you'll still be able to log in by clicking your account picture tile as well.

Rivera and Thurrott also mention that the tablet version of the welcome screen will allow you to log in by swiping a pattern on the screen -- as you can on current Android devices.
