The Top 12 Schools For Producing Fortune 100 CEOs

Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/where-top-ceos-went-to-school-2013-5

There's an ongoing debate about how useful college is as costs rise, the economy changes, and the job market remains stagnant.  

But when it comes to the business world and America's largest companies, a degree — and often a diploma from a top tier graduate or business school — is common among those who make it to the top. 

There are exceptions, like Larry Ellison and Michael Dell, but they're rare. 

U.S. News took a look at the CEOs of the Fortune 100 companies to see which schools produced the most top executives. 

Thirty-nine of the 97 for whom they found data got an MBA. Seven got a law degree. Those who did, tended to head for the Ivy League, which had a pretty strong showing in the undergraduate department as well. 

Here's the breakdown:

Olloclip brings distortion-correcting camera app to its three-in-one iPhone lens

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/28/olloclip-distortion-correcting-camera-app/

As our debut Insert Coin project, the Olloclip will always be near and dear to our hearts, but the handy three-in-one iPhone lens is not without its niggles -- like significant distortion produced by the the wide-angle and fish-eye attachments, for one. Luckily, Olloclip now has a remedy for that in the form of an iPhone camera app that'll correct or enhance such aberrations, depending on which way you want to take your artistry. You'll also get video and macro modes, spot focus and exposure adjustments and a photo library -- all the better to stay footloose and DSLR-free on the road. You can grab it for free at the source.

Canon 50D gains video recording through Magic Lantern RAW hack

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/28/canon-50d-gains-video-recording-through-magic-lantern-raw-hack/

It may be time to dust off that Canon 50D you purchased back in 2008. The folks behind the Magic Lantern firmware add-on have pulled yet another rabbit out the proverbial hat (or is it lantern?) by enabling RAW video recording on the APS-C-based DSLR. What's even more impressive is that the 50D lacks video support out of the box, so this new-found functionality is truly magical. This hack comes hot on the heels of the Magic Lantern team coaxing the Canon 5D Mark II / III into capturing 24 fps RAW video. With the firmware add-on installed, the 50D is capable of shooting video up to 1592 x 1062 pixels at 30 fps. There are some caveats, though. First, there's no audio recording since the camera lacks a microphone input and associated electronics. Second, capturing RAW video requires fast CF cards (at least UDMA 6). Third, we now fully expect to see the 50D skyrocket in value on the used market. Hit the break for a few sample videos.

Strategy Analytics: Samsung topped China smartphone share in Q1

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/27/strategy-analytics-samsung-topped-china-smartphone-share-in-q1/

Many analysts believe that Samsung led the Chinese smartphone market throughout much of 2012, and there are already signs of a repeat coming in 2013. Strategy Analytics now estimates that the Galaxy maker sold 12.5 million smartphones in the country during the first quarter of this year, or enough to stay in front at 18.5 percent market share. Others didn't come close, although there was a fierce battle for the runner up spot. Huawei (8.1 million) barely pushed past Lenovo (7.9 million) to become number two in China, while Coolpad (7.1 million), ZTE (6.4 million) and Apple (6.1 million) were locked in their own fight for fourth place. While it's true that market share isn't the only yardstick for smartphone success, having the most popular devices in the world's most populous country undoubtedly helps with bragging rights.

Opera desktop preview brings web clipping and other tools, splits from Opera Mail

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/28/opera-next-desktop-preview/

Opera for desktops may be a couple of steps behind the recently finalized Android version, but it's coming along nicely. A preview build of the now WebKit-based browser (or, technically, Blink-based) is available to try on Windows and Mac with a bunch of features which in some ways look similar to other browsers and add-ons, but which also do things a bit differently:

• Speed Dial -- a home tab that brings large tiles and folders for quick access to favorite sites
• Stash -- a web clipping tool that follows a similar big-tile aesthetic (shown above)
• Smartbox -- a search box that not only predicts what you're looking for but also offers to hunt for it on different search engines, such as Google or Twitter.

One thing you won't find is an integrated Opera Mail client, since that's been split from the desktop browser (due to "popular demand") and is now available as a release candidate for a forthcoming standalone product. You'll find full download linkage below.
