wall street selects its top 5 retail stocks
Generally wall street is not known to pick their winners.Wall street does not reason a spectacular quarter, or even an excellent 3 quarters.. The stock markets hates "suprises " and for that reason not many brands that might have once upon a time, media's poster boy.failed to to satisfy wall street
However !It now seems that wall street has decided and finally given it a thumbs up to the online retail industry and specially Amazon. The company dominated Black Friday sales in the United States and is all but certain to be the number 1 source for last minute presents for many million people around the world. Amazon’s stock price more than doubled this year, bringing the company’s market cap to more than $300 billion.
In contrast Wall street has given the brick and mortar retailers like Best Buy and Walmart a pass, and almost all of them has seen their stocks massacred and crumble in 2015 as they struggle to break Amazon’s dominance in the online world.

Compartiendo Wifi con Netduino Plus 2
Después de tener todo listo para empezar, hay algo obviamente que en nuestra ruta falta y es darle salida a internet a nuestro Netduino, de todas las primera aventuras esta fue para mi la más complicada, la información está en todos los foros, pero al ser conversaciones y reportes de errores es un poco demorado entender a que se refieren.
Por otro lado mi PC tiene algo en particular y es que debido a que uso varias máquinas virtuales para trabajar con dispositivos móviles, me todo un ratito entender que era lo que debia configurar para poder usar la Wifi en casa con mi Netduino.
Los tradicional es conectar desde tu modem de internet un cable a tu netduino, sin embargo si como en mi caso eso significa cablear tu casa, este post podría ser también tu solución. Esto además de que al irse de casa a hacer un demo, depender de la red de cada lugar es una mala idea y a mano solo tenemos el plan de datos del móvil o bien la conexión de nuestro portatil a alguna red por ahí.
Lo primero que necesitas es un cable cruzado, reconocerlo es tan simple como comparar sus extremos, si la distribución de colores es diferente, ya lo tienes.
Ahora vamos a entrar a las opciones de red de nuestro Panel de Control y buscar la configuración de los adaptadores de red.
Este era el escenario al que me enfrentaba en mi PC
Lo primero es claramente identificar la red a compartir, en mi caso no era la Wifi directamente si no el Virtual Switch que tiene el nombre de mi conexión de red en casa (Yadira). Debes dar click derecho y entrar a las propiedades, y allí ingresar a la pestaña de compartir.
En mi caso debía seleccionar tambien el Virtual Switch de mi Ethernet y no la Ethernet directamente, que de hecho ni aparece. Después de eso la red aparece como compartida, tu internet debe seguir funcionando normalmente.
Ahora viene la parte que en realidad cuesta un poco poner a punto, pero que es necesario memorizar debido a que cada vez que desconectemos nuestras redes todo volverá a sus valores por defecto.
Después decodificar las recomendaciones en los foros estos fueron los pasos que realicé y únicos que me funcionaron, no desesperes, la red puede morir, enloquecer, vuelve al punto cero e inicia de nuevo, no pierdas la cabeza.
Ejecuta el comando IPCONFIG en la Consola de Comandos
Esto es importante pues necesitamos saber cual es el Gateway de nuestra Wifi. Ahora buscamos el Virtual Switch al cual le compartimos la Wifi e ingresamos a sus propiedades
Dentro de las propiedades editamos la configuración de IPv4
Allí configuramos una IP para nuestra subred, y configuramos el Gateway de la Wifi manualmente.
Ahora como vimos antes, entramos a nuestra configuración de red del Netduino y configuramos la IP teniendo en cuenta que el Gateway en este caso será la IP estática que asignamos a nuestro adaptador de red Ethernet en el paso anterior.
En este punto si quieres validar que todo va bien, presiona el botón de la board para resetear el Netduino y entonces deberás ver como muestra la IP que tiene asignada al iniciarse.
Como último paso de verificación, haz un ping a las IP estáticas que configuraste y si todo va bien, ambas responderán correctamente.
Para terminar de validar que nuestro Netduino tiene salida a internet debemos hacer un proyecto y probarlo, pero eso será en el siguiente post.

for the first time in a decade apple's iphone sales hits speedbreaker
Apple announced a sharp slowdown in sales growth for its iPhone |
Apple's honeymoon period with its most successful product, iPhone seems to be finally over, with the company reporting " flat sales in a clear indication of iPhone's slowest growth since the product's 2007 launch as Apple warned investors that "sales will fall for the first time later this year.
The company sold 74.8m of its flagship devices in the final three months of 2015, compared to 74.46m iPhones it told during the same period in 2014.. which points to the fact that : iPhone sales has now plateaued
However the worrying point for apple, is that the company is dependent on the iPhone magic wand more than it should do as it created more volatility and risk for the company something that wall street will not like
- Apple's ipads meanwhile have been shrinking for more than 18 months. Apple sold 16.1million iPads in the last three months of 2015, down from 21.4m tablets in the same quarter last year.
- Mac sales too, declined with Apple selling 4% fewer ending up with 5.3 million sales (YoY)
- Apple Watch, grew sharply to $4.4bn, up from $2.6bn in the third quarter of 2015 (when the company first reported Watch sales).
- Other products in the category include Beats accessories, Apple Pay and Apple TV
British startup brings Internet of Things to tabletop gaming
London-based game developer Sensible Object this week launched its first game, which combines the Internet of Things with tabletop gaming. Launching via a Kickstarter campaign, Fabulous Beasts is both a physical and digital game, designed for adults and children alike.
Fabulous Beasts is cooperative, where players build a tower on their tabletop out of beast-shaped pieces, and see them simultaneously appear in a 'fabulous' world on the screen of a connected iOS or Android device.
As the tower grows, the on-screen ecosystem evolves. But if the tower falls, it’s game over – like a modern-day Jenga.
Behind the vivid design there's some serious tech: inside the base is a RFID reader, which reads unique IDs in each game piece. There's also a weight sensor - when a piece is scanned, the hardware knows the weight to expect to be added to the tower. Like the infamous “Unexpected item in bagging area” warning at supermarket self-checkouts. Finally, there’s a Bluetooth module, which sends the data to a connected device.
The game was developed at Makerversity at Somerset House. Makerversity provides affordable space, tools and cutting edge workshop facilities to startups like Sensible Object.
CEO and founder of Sensible Object, Alex Fleetwood, says: “We want to look at what happens when you use new technology to pull attention away from screens and back into the room, and the people you’re playing with. Fabulous Beasts is a big step towards realising that.”
The studio will be taking Fabulous Beasts into full production ready for final release towards the end of 2016. You can back the Kickstarter project here.
