Coverity, Inc. that is the software integrity company announced Coverity Build Analysis. So what is it? According to the SOURCEWIRE, it is a new precision software analysis module. Coverity’s new technology aims to empower companies to attack the wasted time and money consumed by inefficient and inaccurate build systems during software development. It sounds very interesting as lots of people have these kinds of problems. The differentiating feature of the Coverity Build Analysis is that is is the first technology in the industry that automatically scans software builds to help companies eliminate quality, security, and compliance problems that can threaten to delay the delivery of products to market.

“Coverity Build Analysis uncovered errors in our build that we wouldn’t have found otherwise,” said Reid Madsen Principal Engineer of Tektronix. “It pinpointed discrepancies in our build system, saving us countless hours of development time and QA testing.”

As a customer survey shows, “more than 60% of Coverity customers report software builds as a common point of failure in their business. With deep visibility into build processes, for the first time organisations can eliminate the financial burden broken builds inflict -- lost developer time, product delays and costly field defects.”

The main capabilities that Coverity Build Analysis provides are:

• Improve Software Quality – Automatically identify the source of defects that occur due to improper or accidental inclusion of wrong object files
• Reduce Wasted Time – Recapture productivity lost due to unnecessary build bottlenecks such as broken make files or redundant and long running processes
• Prevent Security Risks – Halt the introduction of malicious or unintentional vulnerabilities through software components or open source packages that may contain known security problems
• Stop Compliance Violations – Put an end to the creep of compliance violations caused by the lack of visibility in the assembly process with a comprehensive ‘bill of materials’ that confirms the version and origin of all internal and open source code in your product

In order to fulfil its aim Coverity collaborats with other software integrity companies including Electric Cloud for build management and acceleration and Palamida for software composition analysis.

“Build systems today lack transparency, and as a result, organisations face costly problems associated with code from many outside sources that makes it into the build”, said Mark Tolliver, Palamida CEO. “From a Palamida perspective, that means security and intellectual property risks due to open source code. We are pleased that we are working with Coverity to leverage their build analysis data with Palamida composition analysis to let customers know exactly what security vulnerabilities and IP risks exist in the open source shipping in their software.”

Climate that undergoes different changes makes people and more intensively scientists think over this issueand find the ways to save our world.

Among other organizations the Climate Project (TCP) that is founded by former Vice President Al Gore, now announces its limited partnership with Eco-Active Media, Inc. and Green Planet Search in the world's first interactive Earth Day Webcast.

And how the partnership goes? According to the PRWEB, The event, spanning a four-month period from April 1-July 31, 2009, features a collection of:

· expert forums housed on a 100% solar powered platform created by Green Planet Search

· Special live streaming

The main goal of this initiative is to unite environmentally conscious individuals from around the world and to present solutions on how to better protect our planet.

"We created EarthDayWebcast.com to serve as a digital 'soapbox' to reach and mobilize the global environmental community. Now that The Climate Project is involved, that soapbox has just gotten a lot bigger -- and everyone wants to get onboard," said Eco-Active Media President Peter Insalaco.

Everybody can participate in this initiative celebrities, authors, teachers, students, scientists, and local community leaders.

"As the event coincides with Earth Day, we anticipate many people will be inspired to take action and to make important changes in the way they use our planet's resources," said Jenny Clad, Executive Director of The Climate Project.

In order to reduce telecommunications and other operating costs photographic studio chain DoubletakeSwyx chose a market-leading vendor of Unified Communications for SMEs. By replacing its old phone system with a converged software based solution could take advantage of SIP and GSM gateways. What the company expects is a return on investment within 6 months and annual savings of over £100,000.

As Managing Director at Doubletake, Julian Jenkins explains, “All of our business is generated by referrals from existing clients, so a large part of our operation is involved in outbound calling. We employee 100 agents to contact prospects by phone and the majority of these calls are made to mobiles, making telephony costs a significant part of our overheads. Our incumbent system was unreliable, expensive and was unable to give us the additional functionality that we were looking for.”

According to the SOURCEWIRE, after reviewing a number of potential replacements, the company was introduced to Swyx, by one of its Gold partners, GP Network Solutions (GPNS), a specialist in unified communications. Julian added, “The Swyx solution had a number of key advantages over other systems we considered, foremost of which was its ability to run on our existing data network and importantly it had the capability to route calls directly to the most appropriate network; GSM for mobiles or SIP for non-mobile calls.”

Jenkins continues, “The Swyx solution also offered key features such as call recording, voicemail management using email, and full integration with contact management systems such as Microsoft Outlook, included as standard, making it a very cost effective package”.

Jenkins has also been very impressed with the level of service he has received from GPNS, “The support has been excellent, they thoroughly understand our business model and have customised the solution to work hard for us.”
Jenkins adds, “The advantage of using a system like Swyx is that it is easy and quick to set up and of course all the calls between offices are free. In addition we are already using Swyx’s built-in conferencing facility between our UK studios and we will extend this further once we go international.”

A Summary of the benefits that Doubletake has gained from the Swyx installation:

• Integration with GSM and SIP has reduced call costs by over 50%
• Expected ROI within 6 months of install
• Call recording has improved agent efficiency and prospect to sale conversion rates
• Integration with contact management system and voicemail has dramatically reduced office administration
• A ‘virtual’ communications platform that can be expanded into new national and international locations.

If we know what is the risk from CO2 then it is easy to value environmentally friendly wind energy. And what is its value? It doesn't produce CO2. But the obstacle is that it only blows 35% of the time, according to electric utility sources. That causes inefficiency and cost problems.

According to the PRWEB, the wind power used to heat oil-rich resources with PyroPhase RF technology not only stores the energy, but converts it underground to liquid fuel which is then pumped out. The most important factor is that no CO2 is produced in making this clean wind oil.

As mentioned in the press release the US has 2 trillion barrels of oil tied up in oil shale in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, according to US Department of Energy. The main benefits also are that it reduces dependence on foreign supplies, helps the balance of trade, foreign policy and produces good-paying jobs.

What the PyroPhase Inc founders demonstrated that production of oil in pilot tests in Utah tar sands and in oil shale. A s rroduction has been verified by computer modeling cost estimates show that oil can profitably be produced from Utah tar sands when the price of oil is $45/barrel.

To be more precise a 10,000 barrel/day plant could be built in 4 years at a cost in the order of $100 million, including 5 million for pilot development and 20 million to scale up to commercial module size.

What might cause problems with your valuable documents in business and not only? These are identity theft, natural disasters, environmental waste and some others. As there was not a truly comprehensive and secure document backup service that could accommodate both digital files and paper documents for the users, ClaimProof launches their new secure ClaimProof Vaults for document backups, featuring a unique fax backup option enabling users to store secure digital copies of important paper documents.

"ClaimProof is about more than online file storage," says Jacob Kazen, president and CEO of ClaimProof. "Unlike most online document storage services, we offer a fax upload option that enables users to create secure document backups of not only digital files but also their important hard copy documents. A home user might backup insurance policies to be able to quickly and remotely access them in the case of a house fire or flood. A traveler might access a backup of their passport information to speed up the replacement process if the original is lost or stolen overseas. A business might want to move from paper to digital files in a secure environment to become more eco-friendly, but without the cost of extra managed servers of their own. We offer packages for all levels of need."

There is difference in home or business users as several packages are available, with prices starting at $9.95 per month. ClaimProof's has three easy options for creating secure online file backups:

· uploading from the user's hard drive,
· emailing the documents,
· faxing paper documents.

The users can try a 30 day free trial ClaimProof. ClaimProof provides a more secure document backup alternative to digital copies on the user's own physical machine. "Documents in ClaimProof Vaults are stored on secure servers utilizing the latest cloud computing technology," says ClaimProof's Lead Technical Engineer, Seth Krostich. "That means files can't be lost even in a rare case of hardware failure. All uploads, logins, and sessions are also encrypted, and ClaimProof is a recipient of the TRUSTe Web Privacy Seal. The Seal assures users that a trusted third party has verified that the ClaimProof site is implementing effective measures and policies to protect the privacy and security of all information they upload or submit online. In addition to the security, users have the convenience of being able to access those files from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection."
