A course driven by 20 practical questions about wireless, web, and the Internet, about how products from companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Ericsson, HP, Skype and AT&T work.
Hi Everyone,
Two clarifications and then a new message.
1. GCH: there'll be more GCHs later in the semester too. These two, "The Switch" and "The Adaptation" are two examples on the more math and more programming sides, respectively.
While these GCHs' top quality solutions will connect you to the 5 leading networking companies and 5 venture capital firms announced last month, the topic of these GCHs do not represent viewpoints of any specific company or VC firm unless specified otherwise.
How do you turn in a solution to GCH: first, this may take several weeks of dedicated work even for those with the necessary training. That's why they're called "Grand Challenge." And when you feel ready, just email me chiang.coursera@gmail.com with your solution. We'll talk to you afterwards. A rule of thumb: 1 month counting from the announcement of each GCH is about the right time to contact us, unless you achieve breakthrough earlier and then should just email me right then.
2. Blogs and Wikis: there's no blog or wiki that is "too small". Many of your explanations on the discussion forum can be readily expanded to become a wiki entry. And some of your Facebook posts can become a nice blog. I'm also sending along interesting topics on twitter.
3. Now a new item. We had a good response from many of you on that "Top 10 movie voting" exercise. We'll soon have another fun exercise at the heart of Lectures 11 and 12 coming up.
You can download a free app called DataWiz that was developed at Princeton University. It's now available on both iOS and Android app store, and has received many tens of thousands of downloads within a couple of weeks. It helps you to monitor your mobile data usage and uses machine learning algorithms to recommend usage to save you money (especially if you have a limited data quota and have to pay extra based on your data consumption amount).
This free app does not report any of your usage to anyone else. So we'll soon be asking some of you to volunteer some of your own usage data at a coarse granularity (like how much and when), and we'll then post a Netflix Prize-like competition for you to use learning/optimization methods to beat our prediction based on this set of data. More on the details of this game later.

Yacamán le apostará el próximo año a la IndyCar
Gustavo Yacamán, el piloto caleño, le apostará en el 2013 a la Serie IndyCar, la categoría de monoplazas más importante de Estados Unidos. Para él, el apoyo de la Alcaldía de Cali ha sido significativo para su carrera.
“En este deporte es extremadamente difícil hacerse a un nombre en el exterior y contar con el apoyo de la Alcaldía es muy importante, porque nos permite dejar arriba el nombre de Cali”, aseguró ‘El tigrillo’.
El piloto caleño se reunió con el alcalde Rodrigo Guerrero Velasco para agradecer el apoyo recibido este año por parte de la Administración Municipal y comentarle las metas para el próximo año.
La Serie IndyCar tiene un gran prestigio y entre sus pruebas están las 500 millas de Indianápolis pero además, circuitos urbanos y autódromos, los cuales superan en cantidad a los óvalos.

El Festival Internacional de Cine de Cali llega este año a su cuarta versión, para entregarle a la ciudad cinco días de séptimo arte. El encuentro será lanzado oficialmente el jueves 25 de octubre, a partir de las 9:00 de la mañana, en el Hotel Intercontinental.
Así lo confirmó la secretaria de Cultura y Turismo, María Helena Quiñónez, quien indicó a su vez que la inauguración se realizará en Cinepolis del Centro Comercial Premier, de El Limonar. Allí se estará llevando a cabo la mundial de la película ‘Sonido Bestial’, del director caleño Sandro Romero y Silvia Vargas. Esta gala contará con la presencia de los cantantes puertorriqueños Richi Ray y Boby Cruz, quienes ofrecerán una sorpresa musical a los asistentes del acto.
Esta cinta, que gira en torno a la vida de estos reconocidos artistas, se constituye en un homenaje a Cali, donde estos músicos se constituyeron en verdaderos ídolos populares en los años 60 y parte de los 70. La película fue filmada en ciudades de Estados Unidos, Puerto Rico, Francia y Colombia. Hay escenas en Nueva New York, Nueva Jersey, Miami, San Juan de Puerto Rico, Hormigueros, Bayamón, Medellín, Barranquilla, Cartagena, París, Bogotá y Cali. Fue editada en Barcelona, en España.
Recordó que el festival cuenta con la organización de la Secretaría de Cultura y Turismo de Cali, con el apoyo del Ministerio de Cultura y el acompañamiento de Proartes.
