"They are also much more efficient, saving taxpayers' money and the user's time. Online transactions can be 20 times cheaper than by phone, 30 times cheaper than face-to-face,Mulberry sale, and up to 50 times cheaper than by post."</p><p></p><p>Seven of the busiest government departments, including the Inland Revenue and Department of Work and Pensions, will be obliged to overhaul their websites to ensure that they offer the best possible experience for people who want to use them to access services.</p><p></p><p>The government presently handles more than a billion transactions per year with citizens across 650 services – though those seven departments account for more than 90% of central government transactions. Those are the Inland Revenue, Department for Transport, Department of Work and Pensions,ghd straighteners, Department of Business, Information and Skills,longchamp le pliage, Department of Environment,ghd, Farming and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Justice and the Home Office,longchamp.</p><p></p><p>All will be in the front line for active redesign to make them "digital by default" – even as other websites are shut down. In the past year the government has closed 74 "redundant" sites as it slimlines its web presence to focus on its remodelled gov.uk portal.</p><p></p><p>But the drive to make such services digital could put many lower-paid groups who do not have access at a disadvantage. Current figures show that use the internet – although 77% of UK adults use the internet at least once a day. The data also show that 12% of adults are "offline and unwilling to get online".</p><p></p><p>Maude said however that the changes were essential. Despite handling more than a billion transactions every year many of the 650 government services have no digital option – and the ones that are available need redesigns.</p><p></p><p>The Cabinet Office also pointed to figures showing that in 2011 about 150m phone calls made to government services could have been avoided if the online service were better,christian louboutin shoes.</p><p></p><p>The redesign will start with the seven Whitehall departments that handle the majority of central government transactions, and target the services which cope with more than 100,000 transactions annually for digital transformation,Mulberry sale.</p><p></p><p>Any new or redesigned service introduced after April 2014 will also have to meet a new Digital by Default standard.</p><p></p><p>Mike Bracken, executive director of the Government Digital Service, which last month produced the remodelled gov.uk site, said the strategy was "a truly digital document which reflects our ambitions and signals a clear roadmap for working with departments to help them achieve the goals set out in this strategy".</p><p></p><p>The gov.uk site will become the central hub for corporate publication by all 24 central government departments by March 2013, and other agencies and "arm's length" bodies will follow by March 2014.</p><p></p><p>The redesigned gov.uk – which took over from the Directgov site – has won plaudits in user testing for its ease of use, and the speed with which people could find the information they wanted, taking 80 seconds compared with 120 on Directgov, which it replaced.</p> </div>

But how can we have any sort of rational expectation if we lack any data or ideas about how long Google will run anything or why or how it chooses to do what it does? So in the following essay, I collect data on 350 Google products and look for predictive variables. I find some while modeling shutdown patterns, and make some predictions about future shutdowns.</p></blockquote><p>This is a truly awesome analysis.

"We could have taken over the operating system and accessed any other control systems that are on the same network as that one. We didn't do that because that wasn't the intent��. But that would be the normal path if an attacker was actually looking to do that."</p><p>A Google spokesman confirmed the breach and said the company has since disconnected the control system from the internet. Despite the "alarm" buttons on the control panel and the blueprint showing the water pipes,Mulberry uk, he said the system the researchers accessed can control only heating and air conditioning in the building. A report about the incident produced by staff in Australia, which Google did not show Wired, indicated that the system could not be used to control electricity, elevators, door access or any other building automation, the spokesman said.</p></blockquote><p>(Thanks @ClarkeViper for the link.)</p><p><hr /></p><h2></h2><p>Kara Swisher: </p><blockquote><p>For Qualcomm, the selection of Rubinstein to join the board is also something to watch, as he is also the second exec from Silicon Valley to be tapped by the company recently.

But when it comes to government investment in creativity, I'm a long-gamer.</p><p> at this year's (and in fact last year's) budget, which in my opinion offers support for the creative industries with the short game in mind, and you'll notice that the language used points towards the future.</p><p>Ed Vaizey talks about the additional investment offered via the skills investment fund as demonstrating the "government's ongoing commitment to supporting innovation and investing in talent to help keep the UK ahead of the game when it comes to creative excellence". Fine sentence,ghd sale, polished commitment, but it actually translates as investment in one delivery agent, and only one strand of the creative industries: film.</p><p>Film is highly visible, and just like and fashion, straddles the creative industries like Ozymandias in his prime. Don't get me wrong; I back this laudable investment. These strands of the creative industries deserve more support, not less. However, an opportunity for the rest of the industry to push for similar treatment in an arena where decisions are made or policies are crafted may have produced a more complete offer of support.</p><h2>Small changes, big difference</h2><p>In some areas a little change can make a big difference. A few months ago on one of my countless and often fruitless funding forays, I met with the Prince's Trust, which offered to give us a shout the next time a large business was attempting to offload profits on a suitable charity �C a scenario they outlined happened a hell of lot!</p><p>Now, if there were an incentive for these companies to work with smaller charities and not for-profit groups directly supporting the creative industries, perhaps we would stand a chance of favour and our clients a chance of continued support</p><p>Nick Gatfield, UK chief executive and chairman of ,longchamp selfridges, had a point recently when he asked for tax breaks on investment in A&R (the finding and developing of talent) at a CBI event. Naturally, Nick wants tax breaks for Sony, though I'm not sure how that will filter to those small labels and individuals actually doing the vast majority of A&R these days. But let's leave that particular sleeping dog alone �C the music industry has enough problems.</p><p>Nick went on to say the government is "in thrall to major technology at the expense of the creative arts and industries". Those who know me well might visualise me by Nick's side, sabre drawn, on this one. It's as if the industry is caught in a creative wheel spin.</p><p>So eager are we to support the success stories in tech, the creative scene (especially at grassroots level) is becoming obscured by smoking rubber. I have said more than once that the less visible yet essential segments of the industry , what we do and why it's vital that we continue to do it. We have a business case and we must find a way of making that case. Even if it takes all the Whos in Whoville to be heard.</p><p>It is not by accident that this year's is taking place smack bang in the middle of Shoreditch,cheap ghd. Tech City will vanish in a tsunami of techno obscurity without the creative arts engine that helps define it and tills the land on which it flourishes. We have to ring this bell again and again until it irritates someone enough to investigate and change the agenda.</p><p>I do not sit on the (the "joint forum between the creative industries and government") and no one that looks like me or leads an organisation like does,Mulberry bags. But it is always possible there is more happening behind government screens: David Cameron in scrubs wiping sweat from his brow; Maria Miller handing him a scalpel; Ed Vaizey charging the defibrillator.</p><p>And it is always possible that Vaizey as the minister for creative industries, communication and culture will be letting us have a peek behind those screens when he speaks at Cr8net next week at Village Underground.</p><h2>Together, yet apart</h2><p>As the chief executive of a creative and cultural development agency our currency is talent, innovation and ideas. Based in Shoreditch, we are a stone's throw from the hallowed 'Silicon Roundabout' �C together, yet apart. Looking at the past two budgets,Mulberry uk, I can't help but get the feeling that we are picking flowers when we should be weeding.</p><p>Our clients (we have a database of about 12,000) will almost certainly see very little direct benefit from a budget that is not commensurate with the contribution these small creative businesses and self-employed artists are making to the tapestry of the creative industries,ghd. And, forgive me for pointing out, but neither will we.</p><p>Somehow or other the discussion between industry at all levels and government needs to be broadened and deepened considerably. John Newbigin, former board member of CIDA,ghd hair straighteners, now chair of Creative England and member of the Creative Industries Council, once said: "The creative industries are a big success for the British economy. Almost every politician in Britain believes the creative industries are a part of our future,longchamp. However,longchamp handbags, the creative industries and makers are not good at talking to one another. The great thing about Cr8net is that it allows that process to take place."</p><p>Let's hope so. Perhaps one of our targets should be that by the time the next budget rolls in, it will include the kind of tax breaks or policies that allow all, or at least a majority of creative strands to benefit in real terms. This sort of catalyst will mean so much to the smaller organisations and support agencies like CIDA across the country " �� and the creative industries grew prosperous and growth did thus fall from a dry sky".</p><p><em>Toks Majek-Akisanya is chief executive of CIDA, the Cultural Industries Development Agency �C follow it on Twitter </em><em> </em></p><p><em>Find out more about Cr8net </em></p><p><strong>This content is brought to you by </strong><strong>.
