Top 5 cities for big data jobs

San Francisco tops Modis list, followed by McLean, Va., Boston, St. Louis and Toronto

Corporate data stores are growing exponentially, nearly every tech vendor is positioning their products to help handle the influx of data, and IT departments are scrambling to find the right people to collect, analyze and interpret data in a way that's meaningful to the business. On the employment front, the big data deluge is creating a hiring boom across North America. Modis, an IT staffing firm, identified five cities in particular where big data is driving job growth.

San Francisco tops the Modis list, followed by McLean, Va., Boston, St. Louis and Toronto. The roles that companies in these cities are fighting to fill include data scientist, data analyst, business intelligence professional and data modeling/data modeler.

PAYDAY: Who are tech's highest paid CEOs?

IT JOB SPOTTING: Top 20 metro areas for tech jobs

Business intelligence and data analysis have been core enterprise disciplines for a long time, but they're becoming more important to businesses as data volumes rise, says Laura Kelley, a Modis vice president in Houston. "We're in a new era in terms of how large the databases are, the amount of data we're collecting, and how we're using it. It's much more strategic than it's ever been."

Big data professionals can be particularly difficult to find since many roles require a complicated blend of business, analytic, statistical and computer skills -- which is not something a candidate acquires overnight. In addition, "clients are looking for people with a certain level of experience, who have worked in a big data environment. There aren't a lot of them in the market," Kelley says.

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

Looking at recruiting trends across its offices, Modis finds there's not one industry that's doing the most big-data hiring. Rather, the cities have in common a concentration of large enterprises across myriad industries.

San Francisco, for instance, is home to large companies in the retail, insurance, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors.

McLean, Va., has both a strong commercial sector and government presence. "There are many data center operations in this area, both commercial and government related, that require talent to support the high volume of that data," Modis explains in its report. "In addition, there is no larger consumer of IT products and services in the world than the US federal government."

Banking and bio/pharmaceutical industries helped put Boston on the big data hiring map. "Both industries deal with large amounts of data that are detailed and complex in nature. That data then needs to be analyzed and placed in reports, dashboards and spreadsheets by data scientist and analysts," Modis writes.

In St. Louis, universities and healthcare companies lead the big data hiring boom, followed by pharmaceutical and bioresearch firms that need to fill data analyst and scientist roles.

Lastly, in Toronto, financial institutions are fueling a need for business intelligence pros who can help organizations get a more precise and complete picture of the business and customers, Modis finds.

In the big picture, companies often have to compromise and prioritize their wish list -- technical expertise, industry experience or quantitative statistical analysis skills, for experience -- to find available big-data candidates.

"What is this person going to be doing? Do you need the technical skills? Or is the quantitative/statistical expertise more important? Is this person going to be doing data modeling or making business decisions?" Kelley says. "In an ideal world, companies want all of it. But it's not an ideal world."

Microsoft Rolls Dice Hopes For (Windows) 7 And (IE) 8

After taking a lot of flak for Windows Vista, Microsoft has recently released beta versions of two of its most popular products–Windows and Internet Explorer–in an attempt to recover lost ground.

The past few years have not been easy for Microsoft. The company that’s been synonymous with operating systems on computers has had to take a fair deal of flak from critics, users and has even been at the receiving end of a European Union (EU) adverse judgement. Added to that are the woes of the ongoing recession. And on the mobile front, its OS, Windows Mobile, is struggling against newcomers like the mobile versions of Mac OS and Google’s Android (very rashly dismissed as a ‘press release’ by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer). Perhaps it would be fair to say that the Redmond giant is not short of challenges at the moment.

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

The Vista albatross
There are many who feel that Microsoft’s problems began with Windows Vista. Launched a couple of years ago amidst a lot of hype, the OS has become a burden to the company. While tech experts might point to flaws in the structure of the OS and its security issues, the biggest reason for its relative lack of success (Microsoft will roll out reams of information to claim that it is in fact a huge success) is that the operating system was a pain to use for mainstream users who were more than content with its predecessor, Windows XP.

Redemption through Win 7 and IE 8?
But if there is one thing we know about Microsoft, it is that for such a big company, it moves incredibly fast to address problems. The immensely successful Windows XP had in fact come hot on the heels of the less-than-impressive Windows Me and had promptly made people forget the problems posed by the latter. In what seems to be a similar move, the company has released betas of its next version of Windows, Windows 7 and its browser, Internet Explorer (IE) 8. While we have given neither product a really extended trial yet, the little we have seen of both seems to indicate that they are significant improvements over their predecessors.

The improvement in Windows 7, in particular, is stark. While the dazzling exterior of Vista has been maintained (and some might even say, made to look better), resource hoggers such as the Windows Taskbar have been removed. Microsoft has also added its Ribbon interface (seen in Office 2007) to its staple Paint and Word Pad applications, making them much more user-friendly. Those concerned about security might like the Action Center, which displays a number of security and maintenance features in a single menu–saving time and making them far simpler to manage. While its system requirements seem to be on the same lines as Vista’s on paper, a number of people have told me that it actually runs perfectly well on systems that struggled with Vista.

IE 8 is equally impressive in terms of features and functions, but is likely to face an uphill task in the face of competition from the likes of Opera, Firefox, Safari and now, Google’s Chrome, all of which update versions far more frequently than Microsoft does. Our brief look at IE 8 showed it to be a capable browser, if a trifle too stacked with features, resulting in making it less than intuitive to use. But it allows you to do pretty much everything that every other browser lets you do, from smoothly accessing your favourites to easy bookmarking. And there are some features that others do not have, such as Accelerators (which let you get stacks of information without having to key in URLs) and Web Slices (that allow you to get regular updates from specific sites without your having to go to them). Also, the fact that it will come bundled with Windows 7 (no, we have no intention of stirring up that controversy here) means that it will have a fair degree of popularity among users, who will use it as their default Internet browsing option.

But the real challenge for Microsoft will be to convince users to move up not just from Vista but from XP. How it does this is going to be interesting. We are sure the overall approach will be a lot more subtle than Steve Ballmer’s warning that users expect the latest operating systems in their work environment, and might be dissatisfied if asked to work on older systems (see ‘They Said IT’ on Page 12). Whatever happens, 2009 is going to be an interesting year for Microsoft, with the company also readying a new version of its Windows Mobile OS, version 6.5. Will these products get the Redmond giant back on track? Or will they accelerate its (perceived, we hasten to add) decline? Stay tuned

Atom-powered smartphone will run Windows 7 or 8

In Technology has announced a smartphone that will run Windows 7 or Windows 8 on a 1.6GHz x86 processor. The "xpPhone 2" has a 4.3-inch screen, 2GB of RAM, up to 112G of SSD (solid state disk storage), and 18.5 hours' talk time, the company says.
In Technology should be familiar to loyal readers, because the Chinese company previously offered an xpPhone device that ran Windows Embedded Standard 2009 on an AMD processor. This handset was said to have begun shipping last November, but we've never seen one in the wild or read a review.

Now, in a rambling press release that touts itself as "China Apple," In Technology has provided images and brief specifications of a successor. The xpPhone 2 will feature an unspecified 1.6GHz processor -- an Engadget report claims it's an Intel Atom Z530 -- and be capable of running either Windows 7 or Windows 8, the company claims.

As well as being a phone, the xpPhone 2 will essentially be the "smallest notebook PC in the world," measuring 5.5 x 2.9 x 0.68 inches, In Technology claims. Indeed, that's smaller than the Loox F-07C, a similarly Atom-powered phone Fujitsu shipped in July.

Like the Fujitsu phone, the xpPhone 2 has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. As pictured below, it can be used -- with a suitable forest of cable adapters -- as a desktop PC.

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

According to In Technology, the xpPhone 2 will feature 2GB of RAM and up to 112GB of SSD storage. Resolution of the 4.3-inch screen wasn't specified, but we're guessing it won't reach as high as 1024 x 768 pixels (which is the minimum required to run Windows 8 Metro-style apps, according to Microsoft).

In Technology pictured the xpPhone 2 being used as an in-car navigation device, suggesting that it will include a GPS receiver in addition to its cellular radio. We could not find a claim regarding the phone's weight or battery size, but the company says the device will provide 18.5 hours of talk time and 46 days of standby.

Background

In Technology's original xpPhone (pictured) had an extended gestation period. The device was first revealed in July 2009, and the company started accepting unpriced pre-orders in September of the same year.

In an apparent attempt to allay suspicions that the phone was merely vaporware, In Technology emailed WindowsForDevices.com in December 2009 with a video showing the device booting Windows XP. The company contacted us again in May 2010 with new photos (plus the videos embedded at the end of this story), noting that the device had been switched from the originally mooted Windows XP to Windows Embedded Standard 2009.

In Technology's website claimed last November that the xpPhone was on sale at last. With Windows Embedded Standard 2009 but "without 3G," it went for a not-inconsiderable $732, while a 3G version was $798. (Oddly, a version with only DOS was also cited, priced at $666.)

The device wasn't exactly pocket-size, as the photo above discloses. The phone measured 6.88 x 3.3 x 1 inches (175 x 84 x 25.5mm) and weighs 12.1 ounces (345g), In Technology says.

According to In Technology, the xpPhone offered an AMD processor described only as a "Super Mobile" CPU, with 512MB of RAM, plus 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of SSD (solid state disk) storage. The company claimed that its patented technology allows incoming phone calls or SMS messages to bring the operating system out of standby, though no word was provided on whether the xpPhone is compatible with push e-mail.

According to In Technology, the xpPhone included 802.11b/g wireless networking and Bluetooth, while its cellular radio was capable of supporting both GSM and CDMA networks. Users could download data using either HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), HSUPA (high speed uplink packet access), or EVDO, the company added, listing AT&T, Orange, and Vodafone as networks the device is compatible with.

The xpPhone has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard
(Click to enlarge)

A removable, 2150mAh lithium-ion battery was claimed to power the xpPhone for about five hours of talk time, about seven hours of typical application usage, and a maximum of 12 hours. Meanwhile, the device has a 4.8-inch, 800 x 480 touchscreen display and a slideout QWERTY keyboard.

Windows 8 Update: OS gets friendly with Linux

Microsoft works out rift with Linux community over dual boot issue; video efficiency; latest on Windows RT

s initial boot security for Windows 8 made it hard to start other operating systems on Win8 machines, but the company has worked out a way for Linux and other OSes to clear the secure boot sequence on such devices.

The secure boot, called Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), requires a key for the boot firmware to hand off to the operating system, the idea being to make sure the operating system isn't corrupt.

Microsoft's initial UEFI implementation was restrictive by making it difficult for non-Windows operating systems to get their keys included in the firmware, says Tim Burke, vice president of Linux engineering for Red Hat, in a blog. But that's all been cleared up with some cooperation among interested parties, he says.

Best Microsoft MCTS Certification, Microsoft MCITP Training at certkingdom.com

Linus Torvalds
Now the keys can be registered via Microsoft key signing and registry services for $99. That way participating vendors can get their keys accepted by the machines so their OSes will boot. "I'm certainly not a huge UEFI fan, but at the same time I see why you might want to have signed bootup etc," Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds (pictured) is quoted as saying in the ZDNet Linux and Open Source blog. "And if it's only $99 to get a key for Fedora, I don't see what the huge deal is."
Power sipping video hardware

Windows 8-certified hardware will offload video decoding to a hardware subsystem, according to the Building Windows 8 blog.

"This allows us to significantly lower CPU usage, resulting in smoother video playback and a longer battery life, as the dedicated media hardware is much more efficient than the CPU at media decoding," Scott Manchester, group program manager for Microsoft's Media Platform and Technologies team, writes in the blog. "This improves all scenarios that require video decoding, including playback, transcoding, encoding, and capture scenarios."

A chart in the blog (below) indicates the hardware will call for a half to a third of the CPUs needed by Windows 7 for the same video tasks.

Chrome for Metro
Google's Chrome browser is getting tuned up to support Windows 8 in both desktop and Metro modes. Presumably, it won't be much challenge to get the browser to run in desktop mode since Microsoft says any app that run on Windows 7 runs on Windows 8.

But it's a little more challenging to fit it out to handle Metro and all its touch features. The company has been working on it since March, and says, "Over the next few months, we'll be smoothing out the UI on Metro and improving touch support, so please feel free to file bugs."

Samples of the browser will be available with the next Chrome Dev channel release, but the company doesn't say when that is. It also takes the opportunity to restate it's complaint that Chrome is banned from Windows RT, the ARM version of Windows 8 "Chrome won't run in WinRT, i.e. Windows 8 on ARM processors, as Microsoft is not allowing browsers other than Internet Explorer on the platform," Google says.

Qualcomm is down with Windows RT
Qaulcomm says it is making ARM chips designed for Windows RT devices -- the Windows 8 combo of operating system, limited Microsoft Office and hardware that won't run x86 applications. The chips are called Snapdragon S4 Pro.
