Last Friday saw the 9th annual CIO Council Golf Outing to support the Council’s Scholarship Fund. I was reminded just how much work is involved by a dedicated group of people to make the dreams and aspirations of our children come true. For many students, scholarships, like the ones offed by the CIO Council, are the only way they can afford to proceed with tertiary education.
Continuing in the spirit, we are planning to host student/industry interviews at the forthcoming ITPalooza’16, Dec 8. If you are a local company planning to hire interns, you can schedule interviews via the GetMyInterns website.

As you probably know by now, ITPalooza’16 has an all-day agenda and an exciting new venue. To add to the excitement, we’re announcing an All-Day VIP lounge for VIP ticket holders.
GET TICKETS
We want you to feel as comfortable as possible when visiting ITPalooza’16. We appreciate how difficult it is for many of our regional executives to make time to attend events and conference, therefore, we’ve added an All-Day VIP lounge.
You’ll be able to enjoy a comfortable, quiet meeting area where you can relax with a guest away from the hum and buzz of the general event.
VIP tickets are available for purchase at the ITPalooza’16 website. Please be aware that early bird rates will be going up as of 8/1/2016.

As technologists we are exposed to updates and new innovations on a regular basis. As technology advances so it improves. Devices get smaller, faster, easier to use. Integration gets tighter and convergence is a real possibility. Better technology has the potential to improve our lives, create new jobs and often save time.
So why then, are so many people afraid of improvement.
Let’s use Apple’s decision to scrap the 3.5mm RCA connector on its upcoming iPhone 7. The 3.5mm connector is an ancient analog standard designed to carry either mono or stereo signals to line-level devices like amplifies and headphones.
Works great but it’s desperately limited – it’s basically an open tap spewing voltage fluctuations to whatever is connected at the other end. It’s either on or off.
Welcome Lightning port. Apple decided to depreciate the old 3.5mm connector in favor of a digital connection that offers an unimaginable amount of improvement for connected devices. It’s now possible for lighting connected headphones to benefit from active digital technology like noise reduction the works more vigorously in noisy environments and less so in quit ones, all the while modifying the audio signal to ensure the listener gets the best possible experience.
If like millions of people you have a set of phones with a 3.5mm connector an you’re not ready to upgrade, apple have provided an in-line converter in the box.
