Posted by TechCrunch
If you’re a publisher looking for submissions (whether they’re stories, essays, videos, or whatever), what’s the best way to manage the process? It sounds relatively straightforward, but once those submissions start piling up, trying to track and sort them can turn into a headache. It’s a problem that Submittable, part of the latest class of startups incubated by Y Combinator, may have solved.
Co-founder Michael FitzGerald says there have been a few submission-management products designed for academia, but none for a broader customer base. In fact, he says Submittable’s biggest competitor is Gmail. That’s certainly the case at TechCrunch, where we manage g[...]

Posted by VentureBeat
We all have knowledge to share, so why not create a guide with your smartphone?

HP low-energy servers to press 64-bit Intel Atom into service
Posted by Gigaom
The other shoe has dropped. When Hewlett-Packard unveiled plans for ARM-based low-energy servers last November, it said to expect versions based on Intel’s Atom processors.�Well, they’re still coming.
The server giant today promised new low-energy servers — under the Project Gemini code name — that will use brand-new Intel 64-bit Atom Centerton chips, which are actually systems on a chip or SoC. �There were big promises about energy efficiency. “A standard [comparable] server today would use 150W. The new servers will do the same load in a 12 to 14W envelope,” said Paul Santeler, VP and GM of HP’s Hyperscale Business Unit.
These new servers, due by y[...]

Europe Lacks IT Skills for Growth, Commission Says
Posted by PCWorld
Poor IT skills could stall Europe's economic recovery, according to figures released by the European Union on Monday.
The annual digital agenda scoreboard showed that only half of the European labor force has sufficient IT skills for the jobs that are available. According to the figures only 43 percent of the E.U. population has medium or high Internet skills and can, for example, "use the Internet to make a phone call or create a web page." Almost a quarter have no ICT skills at all. It is estimated that ICT vacancies will number 700,000 by 2015.
The European IT sector is currently worth 6 percent of E.U. GDP and accounts for more than 8 million jobs. Although there is growing demand for e[...]
