The future of touch – How haptic feedback could change mobile UX forever
from http://thenextweb.com:
>>Sheehan showed me a demo application on his Nexus S that allowed for in-app highlighting via haptics. For instance, if you have an email inbox that’s overloaded, a developer could tie in with the Immersion SDK to have an email app that produces a vibration when an important contact’s email scrolls past on your screen. The demo that I used had light vibration for the scrolling movement, but it ramped up in intensity as I got closer to the highlighted contact’s message.
It’s one of those ah-hah moments where things just made sense. Why weren’t we getting this sort of touch-intensive feedback already?
The next demo was of something that could easily be a Facebook photo gallery. While flipping through pictures, I would feel increasing levels of feedback based upon how many comments a picture had. No comments? No vibration. Numerous? A quick buzz told me that something was going on, and I should tap the picture to bring up the comments display.

Alog Implements New Platform From Juniper Networks to Support Exponential Network Growth
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL, May 08, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
To support its 40 percent year-over-year growth in its communication
network, Brazilian-based Alog Data Centers today announced a $1.2
million USD implementation of Juniper Networks(R) MX routing platform
with support from integrator Binario.
With data centers in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Tambore, Alog is a
provider of collocation services, managed hosting and highly complex
cloud computing services. Alog has 1,300 customers and 3,600 square
meters in their data center environment with more than 3,200 square
meters of modular designs for collocation. The Alog Network gives
customers a scalable, robust and stable environment to do business.
"This partnership came together to support the increasing demand from
our customers in a way that extends our industry leading high quality
services offering," said Raphael Bittencourt S. Costa, area manager
of Network Engineering at Alog.
According to Bittencourt, of the multiple platforms and technologies
tested, the Juniper Networks MX Series proved to be superior in terms
of capacity, while the Junos(R) operating system showed the most
stability. "With the new platform, today we can expand our processing
capacity by 11 times from what it was," said Bittencourt.
"Binario's support of this project was crucial," Bittencourt
continued. "The integrator provided all the testing at their
facilities and was responsible for part of the capacity-building and
training of our team." Among the benefits provided by the project are
guarantee of increased network capacity without impacting the end
user, stability of the whole environment, traffic safety data, and
greater resilience.

So why should a relative newcomer like Jamba Juice be so celebrated and welcomed?
from www.mb.com.ph:
>>James White, Jamba Juice chairman, president and CEO, and Thibault de Chatellus, SVP-International, were here recently, and marveled at the reception their first stores at Bonifacio High Street in Taguig and at the Alabang Town Center were getting. “We love the Philippines as a market. It’s a great fit for the brand,” he shares, adding, “We couldn’t have asked for better partners; one of our best, globally.”
...
The response so far has been so encouraging to the group. They had invested “a lot” in training, bringing an initial seven people to the U.S. to train, just to deliver this experience. Now focusing more on expansion, the group aims to have six outlets operating, in more locations, making the “smile” more accessible, including the soon-to-open branch at the Mall of Asia, by the end of the year.
