A.T. Kearney Predicts The End Of Offshoring As We Know It
The low cost arbitrage that allowed such countries as India and China to become the world’s outsourcers is no match for higher-level automation and robotic processes, says A.T. Kearney’s Arjun Sethi.

Fitbit confirms Blaze’s Windows Phone support isn’t complete
While Fitbit’s Blaze smartwatch, which was unveiled at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), is claimed to be compatible with iOS, Android, as well as Windows Phone devices, the company has now confirmed that support for Windows Phone isn’t complete.
“You will be able to sync Fitbit Blaze with your Windows Phone bluetooth, but unfortunately call/text notification are still in the process of verification because the Microsoft Windows platform does not provide a GATT server,” the company said in a statement.
“Fitbit leverages this technology to provide notifications on our hardware. Microsoft and Fitbit are working together to bring a solution as soon as possible”
The wearable device costs around $200, and is currently up for pre-orders, with shipping starting in…

2017 Chrysler Pacifica: Minivan Meets Plug-In Hybrid
After more than 30 years of producing the Chrysler Town and Country FCA has decided to shift gears in the minivan segment, introducing the all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The nameplate may sound familiar, as it represented Chrysler’s mid-size crossover from 2003-2007. There will be two powertrain options available, including a V6 gasoline engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a class-exclusive hybrid option. At Kelley Blue Book we watched hybrid consideration drop in 2015, but automakers have to invest in this technology for regulatory reasons and Chrysler needs to up its alternative fuel effort.

Report says Apple Music now has over 10 million paid subscribers
A total of over 10 million people are now paying to use Apple Music, according to a new Financial Times report. This comes less than three months after CEO Tim Cook revealed 6.5 million paid subscribers.
For comparison, rival Spotify currently has over 20 million paid users, although it took the service six years to hit the 10 million milestone, something the Cupertino-based company did in only around six months – the music streaming service was launched back in June last year.
The Apple Music app is available for both iOS and Android platforms – the latter was launched just a couple of months…

Linux Mint 18 se llamará Sarah
Linux Mint 17.2 actualiza su gama de escritorios incluyendo a KDE y a Xfce en sus filas
Tras la actualización y lanzamiento de las distintas versiones de Linux Mint, Clem, el líder del proyecto ha publicado el nombre de Linux Mint 18, versión que se lanzará entre el mes de mayo y junio del 2016. Esta nueva distribución se basará como se anunció hace meses en Ubuntu 16.04, la próxima versión LTS de Ubuntu. Pero al igual que Ubuntu, Linux Mint 18 tendrá más novedades que adaptar la versión LTS de Canonical a sus gustos.
Linux Mint 18 se llamará Sarah, un personaje bíblico que apodará a una de las versiones más interesantes de Linux Mint. Sarah traerá consigo Cinnamon 3 como escritorio principal, una versión que renovará por completo el look de la distribución y del escritorio. MATE vendrá en su versión 1.14, la próxima versión de los nostálgicos de Gnome 2. La versión KDE tendrá consigo Plasma 5, algo que hasta el momento no estaba en Linux Mint y que ahora estará a partir de la rama 18.x.
Estas son algunas de las novedades que Linux Mint 18 traerán y que Clem ha desvelado pero aún queda mucho por conocer, no sólo de Ubuntu 16.04 sino también de Linux Mint 18 Sarah, por lo que aún es pronto para valorar esta nueva versión de Linux Mint aunque por lo mencionado hasta el momento, parece que Linux Mint seguirá prometiendo y siendo una de las distribuciones más populares de todas las distribuciones.
Hace tiempo que Linux Mint comenzó a basarse en versiones LTS de Ubuntu, sólo en estas versiones, una decisión arriesgada pero parece que está dando buenos resultados. Por lo otro lado los jefes de los demás proyectos parecen que están contentos con este desarrollo y siguen apostando por Linux Mint como es el caso de MATE, un escritorio que ha acordado con Clem y su equipo en sacar versiones con cada versión nueva de Linux Mint, un trabajo que dará bueno frutos ¿no creéis?
El artículo Linux Mint 18 se llamará Sarah ha sido originalmente publicado en Linux Adictos.

Microsoft has sold at-least 18 million Xbox One consoles so far
The life-time sales of Microsoft’s Xbox One gaming console stand at at-least 18 million. This was recently revealed by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley citing a source with knowledge of the matter, although she said she couldn’t verify the figure.
Foley made the revelation at the latest episode of the Windows Weekly podcast while giving the breakdown of the 200 million Windows 10 devices – Microsoft recently revealed that more than 200 million monthly active devices worldwide are now running the OS.
As she was dissecting that 200 million figure, so it’s worth stressing that the 18 million Xbox One number includes only those consoles that Microsoft says are “active,” a term which refers to devices that have been active in the last 28 days.
Meanwhile, Sony recently revealed that a total of around 36 million PS4s have been sold until now, including 5.7 million that the Japanese company sold this past holiday season…
