LENOVO PROMOTES GREEN COMPUTING WITH ‘BLUE SKY’
2007-09-13 06:02:13
By Elena Malykhina InformationWeek September 12, 2007 12:11 PM Lenovo on Wednesday introduced its smallest, quietest, and most energy efficient desktop in the company’s history. The ThinkCentre A61e, a desktop the size of a telephone book, contains 45-watt AMD (AMD) Athlon 64 X2 and Sempron energy efficient processors and costs as low as $399. Lenovo claims the ThinkCentre A61e is the first full-functioning PC in the industry to use only 45 watts of energy. It can help reduce annual energy costs by 35%, the computer maker said.  As an example, a business with 50,000 desktops could save over $1 million in annual energy costs and cut more than 20 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.  Also codenamed “Blue Sky” for being environment-friendly, Lenovo’s new desktop was given Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold status by the Green Electronics Council. The ThinkCentre A61e contains up to 90% of reusable and recyclable materials an

Canadian government concerned about Google ‘Street View’ maps
2007-09-13 05:51:59
Security By Humphrey Cheung Wednesday, September 12, 2007 18:25 Mountain View (CA) - Canadian government officials are concerned that a planned rollout of Google ’s Street View maps could violate the country’s privacy laws.  Federal Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart says snapshots of people, buildings and store fronts might be too invasive and has requested more information from Google and Immersive Media, the company that Google has contracted to perform the photographs. Immersive Media and Google have already rolled out Street View maps for many cities in the United States.  The pictures have become somewhat controversial after netizens started combing through the snapshots trying to find people in interesting situations.  Several websites have spawned, like the Street View Gallery, that show the best pictures. Stoddart says the proposed service might violate the PIPEDA Act which stands for the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act.  She adds that


Microsoft unleashes bevy of new webcam and mice peripherals
2007-09-13 05:44:04
By Joel Hruska | Published: September 12, 2007 - 03:18PM CT Microsoft has launched a wide array of peripherals recently, and while webcam s and mice may not be the most exciting products in the world, they are devices many of us find ourselves in the market for at one time or another. First up we have the LifeCam NX-3000 and VX-7000 products, both of which are heavily marketed as being integrated with Windows Live Messenger. The main difference between the two seems to come down to the camera’s megapixel rating (the NX is at 1.3 with the VX at 2.0) and the use of what Microsoft refers to has a “glass element lens” on the VX-7000. The viewing angle on the VX is also larger, and it features what Microsoft calls “Auto-Adjustment for Low Light Conditions” which probably translates into “jacked up contrast” in real English. MSRP sits at $59.95 on the NX-3000, $99.95 on the VX-7000.  As for mice, Microsoft has three new members of the family to intr

Through this partnership the company will provide to its advertisers substantially improved marketing opportunities, especially in the highly-desirable 13-24


Google Official Leading Health Projects Resigns
2007-09-12 07:46:38
By KEVIN J. DELANEY September 12, 2007; Page B14 Google Inc. said its vice president in charge of health-related projects is leaving the Internet company, a departure that comes as competition over online medical-information services is heating up. Adam Bosworth, an industry veteran with a reputation as a brilliant programmer, was overseeing the Mountain View, Calif., company’s health-related initiatives. (See his Google biography.) In a series of speeches and posts on the company’s blog since last year, Mr. Bosworth discussed the issues Google was mulling in the medical area. They centered on providing consumers with relevant health-related information, control of personal medical data and community features for discussing health issues with other consumers and medical experts. Google has yet to release services targeted at those areas, apart from one limited initiative. Any Google services face competition from existing and planned offerings from rival Microsoft Corp. a

IBM joins OpenOffice.org to widen its reach
2007-09-11 06:54:40
It will provide developers, other resources to open-source projectSeptember 10, 2007 (Computerworld) — IBM has gotten so much from the OpenOffice .org office suite to enhance its own products that the company has decided to finally give back in a big way: It’s joining the open-source project and will contribute code, developers and other resources for free. In an announcement today, IBM said that by joining the effort directly, it hopes to develop feature enhancements and help push broader adoption of the OpenDocument format (ODF) standard used in the suite.  Doug Heintzman, director of strategy for IBM’s Lotus collaboration division, said IBM has been using OpenOffice code for the past several years to create its own version of the office applications integrated into the Lotus Notes 8 collaboration suite. By incorporating OpenOffice features, Lotus Notes 8 gained integrated office applications that seamlessly work within the application, he said. To build on those


Apple hits iPhone sale goal ahead of schedule
2007-09-11 06:41:42
Sep 11, 2007 04:30 AM Chris Sorensen Business Reporter Apple Inc. says it has sold one million iPhone s in less than three months, but there’s still no word on when gadget-crazed Canadians can make calls with the much-hyped device – unless, of course, they happen to be handy with a soldering iron. The Cupertino, Calif.-based computer-maker said yesterday it has reached its Sept. 30 goal of selling one million iPhones three weeks ahead of schedule. Apple’s announcement helped sooth investor concerns about sluggish iPhone sales – particularly after Apple said unexpectedly last week that it will slash the smart phone’s price by one-third – but only served to rub salt into the wounds of would-be Canadian iPhone buyers, who still have no word on when the iPhone will be made available here. “We haven’t announced anything further,” said Odette Coleman, a spokesperson for Rogers Communications Inc., the only Canadian wireless carrier that is currently capab


Free Web Directories Increase both Traffic And Profit
2007-06-20 06:24:49
By: Dalvin Rumsey  Perhaps many of you are wondering what the best solution to increasing traffic and profitability is. Well, my first and only option would be using a web directory. Not sure what this means? Imagine a very well organized place where you can find all sort of information, which is divided into several categories. Therefore, should you decide to submit your website to directories, you will be on the right way to boosting up your profit, your web traffic, as well as the search engine ranking that your website gets. There are many reasons to make you choose web directories. Your first reason should be the fact that these web directories manage to attract a large amount of traffic. The people who are interested in a specific category will most definitely open all the websites they can place within that particular category. This way, the website that you have submitted in a category you will gain a lot of traffic.Having many links that lead to your website is another good s

Microsoft Renews Wireless White Spaces Push
2007-09-24 06:17:29
By Roy Mark September 21, 2007  Microsoft and Philips claim new testing shows no interference between unlicensed broadband use and television channels.   Based on a new round of field trials, Microsoft and Philips are asking the Federal Communications Commission to renew testing on devices that can access the Internet using empty buffer spectrums—known as white spaces—between television channels.  Microsoft and other members of a powerhouse group of technology companies called the White Spaces Coalition covet the spectrum as an alternative to telecommunications and cable companies delivering Internet connections. Broadcasters, in particular, are opposed to the concept, fearing unwanted and harmful interference with their signals.  In July, the FCC put a damper on the whole idea when it said testing on a prototype supplied by Microsoft failed to consistently sense or detect TV broadcast or wireless microphone signals. The White Spaces Coalition said the FCC inadvertently us

New BlackBerry Makes Wi-Fi Calls
2007-09-24 05:38:08
T-Mobile’s new BlackBerry Curve 8320 could be the hit handheld of the fall season. By Sascha Segan  On the heels of AT&T’s uninspiring BlackBerry 8820 comes what may be the hit BlackBerry— even the hit handheld—of the fall season. Today, T-Mobile announced the BlackBerry Curve 8320, which combines the popular BlackBerry Curve cameraphone with the ability to make calls over 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi networks.  The 8320’s Wi-Fi calling feature is part of T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home system, which charges an extra $10 per month for unlimited calling from Wi-Fi areas. While you can use public unencrypted networks, call quality is much better at home using a specially-tweaked router that T-Mobile sells for $49 (with a $50 rebate, so it’s essentially free). When I reviewed Hotspot@Home, I experienced trouble with handing off calls between Wi-Fi and cellular networks—but that was months ago, so I’m looking forward to seeing if handoffs have improved.  The


Intel announces new chips for pocket-sized Internet devices
2007-09-20 01:01:12
By Mark Boslet Mercury News  Article Launched: 09/19/2007 12:27:28 PM PDT  Intel underscored its commitment to the market for pocket-sized Internet devices Wednesday, announcing development of a new package of technologies it calls Moorestown.  The announcement came as the chip giant said it was on schedule to ship its first chip for use in these products during the first half of next year. Sales of portable Web devices are expected to expand in coming years as improvements are made in their ability to combine Internet access, computer-like features and phone calling - and as they become smaller in size. The news came on the second day of the Santa Clara company’s semi-annual developers forum, where the technology firm is showing off emerging product initiatives to about 5,000 hardware engineers at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.  The push to become a supplier of chips for portable Internet gear is a critical step as Intel looks for new markets for its computer chips.

Apple, Jobs, AT&T named in ridiculous $1 million iPhone lawsuit
2007-10-03 05:56:47
By Jacqui Cheng | Published: October 02, 2007 - 07:48PM CT When Apple announced that it would be dropping the price of the 8GB iPhone by $200 only two months after the device’s debut, many initial buyers were not amused. Just before Apple issued its $100 iPhone credit to appease the early-adopting crowd, Apple CEO Steve Jobs was quoted saying that people shouldn’t be upset about the price drop—”That’s what happens in technology.” But one customer disagrees and has filed a $1 million lawsuit against Apple, AT&T, and Steve Jobs as a result.  New Yorker Dongmei Li’s problems started with her failed attempt to pick up an 8GB iPhone on launch day. The 8GB model had sold out at the Apple Store that Li had chosen to wait at for several hours—instead, she purchased the 4GB version for $499, complete with two-year contract with AT&T.  The laundry list of off-the-wall claims begins here, with Li alleging that Apple engaged in unfair and dec

2007-10-02 06:48:52
By Mark Raby Monday, October 01, 2007 Chicago (IL) - Adobe has launched the beta version of its new media player , using the same format and streaming technology seen in YouTube and other video sharing sites.  CBS, PBS, Yahoo, and several other Internet companies have already pledged support for Adobe’s new endeavor.   The player will include embedded advertising either through forced-play video clips or permanent banners around the video window. According to Adobe, the Media Player will be supporting digital rights management, based on the currently offered protected streaming to Flash Player from Flash Media Server. The player is able to play .FLV files, the format used in YouTube and other similar sites.  It will require a 9 MB plug-in from Adobe. It is a move for Adobe into a market that is already highly concentrated.  Microsoft’s Windows Media Player currently holds the most digital player market share, with Real Player and Quicktime also remaining computer stapl

Nancy Gohring, IDG News Service Friday, September 28, 2007 A Microsoft Corp. employee on Thursday accidentally blogged about an upgrade to Office Mobile that shouldn’t be available for another couple of weeks.  The upgrade, when it becomes available, should solve an incompatibility issue that left Windows Mobile 6.0 users unable to read Office 2007 file formats.
