| Microsoft slapped for Windows-only Office patch
May 13, 2009 at 7:02 pm
|
|  Microsoft has defended its decision to release a Windows-only security patch for its Office program after a researcher warned it put Mac users of the software at risk. Swa Frantzen, in a blog item posted to the SANS Institute's Daily Handler's Diary, said a bulletin Microsoft issued Tuesday violated the company's own position on "responsible disclosure," which admonishes security researchers to publicly divulge vulnerabilities only after a software maker has had time to fix them. What's more, he said the move would make it easier to attack Office for the Mac. |
| Document-sharing site DocStoc rebrands to keep up with rival Scribd
May 13, 2009 at 6:52 pm
|
|   DocStoc, the site that allows you to post, share and embed PDFs, documents and other files - much like its prime competitor Scribd - has emerged from beta with a new look and a new business model. While the site is growing rapidly - now with 1.6 million unique monthly visitors - it's still running to catch up. |
| Google openness is a closed door
May 13, 2009 at 6:50 pm
|
| Comment When Google meets with Congressional staffers, hoping to convince US lawmakers that it's nothing but good for the world, the web giant likes to say that it believes in openness. "Open is better than closed," the company says. Open "enhances competition" and "encourages innovation." But if you ask the company to discuss its openness, it's not too open about it. |
| TechStars founder levels up with $2.5M fund
May 13, 2009 at 6:48 pm
|
|  TechStars, a seed-stage fund and incubator, has already been showing some good results for founder and executive director David Cohen. Now the serial entrepreneur is becoming an angel investor, staring a fund of $2.5 million and aiming at early-stage web and software companies. Portfolio companies already include Devver, Eventvue, Filtrbox, Foodzie, Ignighter, Oblong, StockTwits and TechStars itself. Here's more, from Cohen's announcement today: |
| IBM puts future profits in the bag
May 13, 2009 at 6:37 pm
|
| IBM is hosting its annual investor conference today, and the top brass of Big Blue's numerous business groups spent many hours walking the assembled Wall Street analysts through the models that show the company did the right things over the past few years. Those smart moves, according to IBM, included divesting commodity IT businesses and positioning itself for bigtime profits in services, software, and massive infrastructure projects. |
| Another Hint Palm Pre Will Launch May 19
May 13, 2009 at 6:30 pm
|
|   Word on the street is that Palm's Pre smartphone will launch next Tuesday, May 19. Or at least that Sprint (S) will announce when it'll start selling the Pre. Here's another hint that might be true. Sprint just emailed us to plug a sweepstakes it's having to give away a free Palm Pre with a year of service. Sweepstakes ends May 18. |
| FCC will run nationwide DTV "soft test" on May 21
May 13, 2009 at 6:26 pm
|
|   The FCC hopes that a test run of the DTV transition will provoke an "intermediate tidal wave" of slackers who finally get that the End is Near. The "end is near," declared Federal Communications Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein at Tuesday's Open Commission meeting. Adelstein was referring to the DTV transition, scheduled to conclude on Friday, June 12, one month from now. There are still 927 full power television stations that have to make the jump from analog to digital by then. To get a sense of who is or isn't really ready for this apocalypse, the agency has called upon those broadcasters to run a "soft test" of the switch three times on Thursday, May 21. |
| AMD: 'The dog didn't eat Otellini's homework'
May 13, 2009 at 6:25 pm
|
| AMD finds it amusing that on a day when the EU dropped a record €1.06 billion fine on Intel, Intel is still calling the shots. "Obviously, we've done more than a few interviews today, and most of the interviews that we've done have involved us responding to what [Intel CEO] Paul Otellini had to say," AMD spokesman John Taylor tells The Reg. "So, a nine-year investigation and the European Commission releases it conclusions after looking at a mountain of compelling evidence, and every question we're being asking are those Paul Otellini would have us be asked. We're having some fun with that." |
| Fuzzy math: Palm Pre to run about $470 full retail?
May 13, 2009 at 6:22 pm
|
|   Sprint is kicking off an exciting little contest that'll ultimately award two lucky winners with their very own Pres, Touchstones, and one year of Simply Everything service -- pretty awesome stuff. Both Sprint and Palm have been famously tight-lipped about pricing for the Pre thus far, but using a few basic calculations derived from the game's legalese, an eagle-eyed tipster pointed out that it seems that we can probably get within a few bucks of the full retail price. Here's the deal: we know that Simply Everything runs $99 a month. After federal taxes, FCC surcharges, and some fudge factor for local taxes, you're looking at, say, $105 to $110 a month. We can say with some confidence now that the Touchstone itself will run $69. |

| Review: Verizon MiFi 2200 Mini Hotspot
May 13, 2009 at 6:08 pm
|
|   Short version: We've loved the MiFi mobile router since we first laid eyes on it back at CES. After a few days of playing with the Verizon MiFi 2200, we still love it just as much - but with one hangup: the nasty monthly bill. After a trivial hiccup with the activation, we had 4 computers up and running in minutes. Speeds in our area are about average for the local EVDO Rev-A network, and we've had absolutely no connectivity drops in our 2 days of testing. |
| Kindle Publishing Now Open To All Blogs
May 13, 2009 at 6:04 pm
|
|   One of the neat little sub-features of Amazon's Kindle is being able to subscribe to blogs on it. You have to pay for the privilege, but for heavy Kindle users, it makes sense as you can get the content delivered to you wirelessly for your favorite blogs. You know, like TechCrunch. But the biggest limiting factor of this so far is that only the big blogs have been included in the blog directory. Starting today, anyone can make their blogs available via the new Kindle Publishing for Blogs Beta program. |

| Tech Gadgets Suck Up Too Much Juice – Report
May 13, 2009 at 5:59 pm
|
|   The energy consumption from communications technologies and consumer electronics devices, including computers, mobile phones, and televisions, could be reduced by more than 50 percent through the use of energy-efficient technologies that exist today. The claim comes from "Gadgets and Gigawatts," a publication from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that was released Wednesday in Paris. The IEA is an international group that advises its 28 member countries, including the United States, on energy policy. |
| HP Mini 1000 six-cell battery gets examined, frightens other batteries
May 13, 2009 at 5:46 pm
|
|  It's been a long time coming, but the six-cell battery for HP's Mini 1000 netbook is now finally making its way into the hands of some eager users, and jkOnTheRun has taken a minute to give folks an idea of what's in store. As you can see above (and from another angle at the link below), the battery is amazingly even more unsightly than suggested in earlier shots, although it does expectedly deliver the goods when it comes to battery life, with jkOnTheRun managing about six hours on a charge. Of course, you'll have to decide for yourself if that's worth the $100+ price tag, not to mention the cost to your Mini 1000's self-esteem. |
| The Trouble with Craigslist's 'Erotic Services' Shutdown
May 13, 2009 at 5:44 pm
|
| Craigslist has announced it's closing the doors on its "erotic services" category, marking an end to a months-long battle over illegal acts arranged through the site. Illinois' Cook County Sheriff's Office sued Craigslist this past March, claiming the company's online classified service facilitated prostitution. Since then, a number of other states have joined the fight and called for the adult-oriented section to be shuttered. |
| Oracle's Ellison Ensnared In Yachting Spy Saga
May 13, 2009 at 5:40 pm
|
| Oracle (ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison, not busy enough already with his various acquisitions, has been ensnared in a spy drama involving an employee of his BMW Oracle yacht racing team. The New York Post reported today that Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli, who owns the rival Alinghi team, the current owner of the America's Cup, asserted in court in Manhattan that an employee of BMW Oracle was arrested by Interpol (memo to self: find more reasons to link to Interpol) after attempting "to illegally break into facilities to take photographs and secure information" about the design of Bertarelli's boat. Bertarelli's team said the actions of the accused Ellison spy, Jean Antonie Bonnaveau, are still being investigated by Swiss and French authorities. |

"Jumpstart your career in the blogsphere," the listing suggests, "with an eye-opening internship at The Huffington Post in New York or Washington." |
| Microsoft Could Teach Apple a Lesson about Security
May 13, 2009 at 5:26 pm
|
| Yesterday, both Apple and Microsoft issued whopper security patches. The way they were handled shows that Apple has a lot to learn from Microsoft about security. Here are the four most important ones. As this latest patch shows, Apple is very slow at fixing security problems with Mac OS X. Two of the security problems were big ones, uncovered in March at the "Pwn2Own" annual hacking contest sponsored by 3Com's TippingPoint. Waiting two months to fix the problems is simply too long. On March 27, Mozilla fixed the security problem found with Firefox. And it turns out that the version of Internet Explorer 8 hacked at the conference wasn't final, and the final version of IE 8 wasn't vulnerable. |
| Live photos of the HTC Willow for Sprint emerge
May 13, 2009 at 5:24 pm
|
|   Courtesy of PPC Geeks forum member orionsbuckle, live shots of the Sprint-branded HTC Willow have emerged. The Willow is the CDMA version of the HTC Snap and shares similar specs which include a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, 320×240 display, 2 megapixel camera and Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. Externally, the handset shares the front-facing QWERTY keyboard of the Snap but has slightly different button layout. The Willow is expected to launch for a mere $149 on June 7th in what is shaping up to be a very big launch day for Sprint. Hit the jump for a few more closeups. |
| Electronics Store Sales Fall 2.8 Percent In April From March
May 13, 2009 at 12:40 pm
|
| Consumers still aren't buying gadgets. The latest Commerce Department retail sales data, which showed a disappointing 0.4 percent fall overall in April from March, includes a 2.8 percent drop in sales at electronics and appliance stores, which is worse than any other individual category. Sales were down 12 percent on a year-over-year basis. In March, sales were down 7.8 percent sequentially for electronics stores, and 8.8 percent year over year. |
| Craigslist Gives Its Red Light District the Times Square Treatment
May 13, 2009 at 12:32 pm
|
|  Many moons ago, in the good old/bad old days, New York's Times Square used to be known as a den of inequity. That started changing in the mid-1990s, when city officials managed to move most of the strip clubs, porn shops etc out of the neighborhood and into ones where people wouldn't complain as much. |
| Google M&A Exec Gushes Over Twitter
May 13, 2009 at 12:28 pm
|
|  Along with Apple, Microsoft and News Corp, Google (GOOG) is said to have interest in acquiring hot microblogging startup Twitter. During a panel at the Stanford Global Technology Symposium, Google's top M&A guy, VP David Lawee made no secret of his affection for the startup: “I think Twitter is an awesome business. It is exciting to see that in this downturn there is a company with such breakaway product success. I can’t talk about a specific acquisition of course. There are a lot of companies who look at what Google is doing, and say it’s an interesting business to me, if there is a way for us to get into it. And I think there is a lot of room for innovation once they are in. Twitter is a great example of potentially either of those.” |
| Verizon MiFi 2200 review
May 13, 2009 at 12:18 pm
|
|  We've been following Novatel's MiFi with bated breath since its December announcement, and the totally pocketable 3G / WiFi router has finally graced a US carrier. Though it'll ultimately come in a variety of physical designs, bands, and radio technologies for different carriers and parts of the world, the MiFi 2200 for Verizon naturally packs CDMA with EV-DO Rev. A, which means uplink speeds should be reasonably speedy to go along with your 1Mbps-plus downloads. Obviously, the concept of a credit card-shaped object connecting up to five WiFi-enabled devices to high-speed internet from wherever the road takes you is an incredibly intoxicating one -- but does the MiFi 2200 deliver? Get the whole story over on Engadget Mobile! |

|  This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs (like 1,100 from Seagate just today) got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff or companies stop sending things. Today we've got a Zivio Boom Bluetooth headset on offer.

| Clean Up and Revive Your Bloated, Sluggish Mac
May 13, 2009 at 12:00 pm
|
|  A few years back you dropped significant cash to switch over from the virus-laden world of Windows to a shiny new Mac, but over time it's gotten slow and crufty. Let's clean it up. Before you get started uninstalling this and deleting that, do yourself a favor: hook up an external drive to your Mac and back everything up with Time Machine or any other free alternative. The last thing you want is for your "clean up" to turn into "holy crap where did all my Documents go." |
| Don't Fight The Stream: Facebook And FriendFeed Redesigns Are Paying Off
May 13, 2009 at 12:00 pm
|
|  When Facebook redesigned its homepage in early March in a wholehearted embrace of the real-time activity stream as its primary user interface, everybody complained. "Why on earth does the world need 2 Twitters?," asked one of my friends on Facebook. Twitter-envy aside, some early data suggests that embracing the stream was the right decision after all. |
| Apple's Tablet: The Story So Far
May 13, 2009 at 12:00 pm
|
|   With so many rumors about an Apple tablet buzzing around, it's hard to believe Apple wouldn't announce one this year. But what do we really know about this thing? Apple fans are an expectant bunch, and one thing or another has gotten their hopes up nearly every year since the death of the Newton. But more recent—and especially post-iPhone—tablet rumors have become so intense, varied and inconsistent that it's hard to come away with a coherent picture of what to expect. Here's what we've got, and what it means. |
| Sprint to release MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot in June
May 13, 2009 at 11:56 am
|
|  It looks like Verizon Wireless wasn't the only company that took a liking to the sleek design of Novatell's MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot. Beginning the first week of June, Sprint customers will also be able to pick up the snazzy little device online and in stores. If this is the first time you're seeing the MiFi 2200, it's essentially a personal Wi-Fi access point that uses Sprint's data network for connectivity. Any Wi-Fi enabled device can connect to it just as with any other Wi-Fi access point, giving users the freedom to roam and retain connectivity across several devices. Security is covered as well, as the unit makes use of WPA2-PSK, WEP and an SPI Firewall. The MiFi 2200 from Sprint will run $99 with a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate and will require a data plan of $59.99 per month or a Simply Everything plan of $149.99 per month (both plans carry a 5GB data cap and will cost 5¢ per megabyte for overages). Hmm. |
| Oracle buys Virtual Iron
May 13, 2009 at 11:56 am
|
| Software giant Oracle has announced its purchase of server virtualization wannabe Virtual Iron, confirming months of rumor. Having already grabbed the open source Xen hypervisor as the basis of its free-standing Oracle VM hypervisor, Oracle did not need Virtual Iron for its own VT and AMD-V dependent implementation of Xen. But Virtual Iron has some expertise and management tools that Oracle needs if it hopes to compete against Red Hat, Microsoft, Citrix Systems, and VMware as they are delivering better server virtualization tools. |

May 13, 2009 at 11:48 am
|
|   Twitter users are up in arms today about the removal of a key feature on the service. As we wrote earlier, Twitter has determined that the options for whose replies you see on the service were too confusing. Rather than simply hide this advanced feature for the 2% of users who utilize it, Twitter has decided to turn it off completely.

| AMD busts out world's first air-cooled 1GHz GPU
May 13, 2009 at 11:48 am
|
|  The last time a GPU milestone this significant was passed, it was June of 2007, and we remember it well. We were kicked back, soaking in the rays from Wall Street and firmly believing that nothing could ever go awry -- anywhere, to anyone -- due to a certain graphics card receiving 1GB of onboard RAM. Fast forward a few dozen months, and now we've got AMD dishing out the planet's first factory-clocked card to hit the 1GHz mark. Granted, overclockers have been running their cards well above that point for awhile now, but hey, at least this bugger comes with a warranty. The device doing the honors is the ATI Radeon HD 4890, and it's doing it with air cooling alone and just a wee bit of factory overclocking. Take a bow, AMD -- today's turning out to be quite a good one for you. |

| Kerio MailServer 6.7
May 13, 2009 at 11:43 am
|
|   Yesterday, amidst the SlingMobile débâcle and an OS update, Kerio Technologies released Kerio Mail MailServer 6.7. The mail and collaboration server, often used as a replacement for Exchange, has added several new features, including a few geared toward Mac users. The Kerio Global Address List (GAL) is a new feature that provides a simple way to get address and contact info from clients like Outlook or Entourage. It syncs and authenticates with both Microsoft Active Directory and Apple Open Directory, as well as Kerio's own user directory. In any company, people join and leave the group, and users are often required to manually update their address books to add and remove entries. With GAL, it's a single directory in a single place, and changes are transparent for users. It supports Entourage, works with the iPhone and functions offline. |

|  The Attorneys General from Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri have apparently talked Craigslist into making some significant changes to its Erotic Services section—like closing it down and opening a new adult section of the site that will be closely monitored. It's going to be tough to stop prostitutes from scuttling off to less-moderated parts of Craigslist. |
| Microsoft's Marketplace for Mobile developer portal now open for business
May 13, 2009 at 7:07 am
|
|  Remember the 12 rules of Windows Marketplace for Mobile Microsoft posted a few weeks back? For coders, those were just the beginning. The Windows Mobile Developer portal is now live, serving pages upon pages of PDFs with rules, regulations, and plenty of fees, too. A 10-page license agreement describes the account fee ($99 per year), transaction fees (30 percent of each sale), and, most importantly, the license fee, which is the monthly amount paid out to the developer based on their app sales. A further 32-pages worth of submission guidelines advise on everything a registered developer needs to know to get an app through certification, including thrilling subjects like shortcut placement and icon design, DLL installation directories, and details of the fearful Hopper test -- two hours of random inputs and waterboarding. |

May 13, 2009 at 7:04 am

| Moodle is a free and very useful course management system that facilitates the teaching of online classes to all age groups--elementary, middle, high school, and college--as well as organizations and corporations. A few years ago, Gina Russell Stevens, one of the founders of Moodlerooms, a Moodle service provider, told me that Moodle is so powerful it can be used as a general community organizing tool. Upon hearing that comment, I set up a Google Alert for Moodle and have been monitoring the ways in which Moodle is used beyond the teaching of classes. |

Like many technology companies, Qualcomm maintains an investment arm. This one has the stated aim of "fostering 3G CDMA and wireless internet markets", so investing in innovative business models is what Qualcomm Ventures does. It's just that on this occasion it's decided to do so through a competition. |

|  Leccy Tech Swiss outfit Green GT whipped the dust sheets off its leccy racer at the recent Swiss Show of Renewable Energy and New Technologies. Called GreenGT, the FIA-specification track car has a carbon fibre chassis and fibreglass body that's home to two water-cooled 100kW electric motors. Juice for the motors comes from a pair of 30kWh lithium-ion battery packs and, during peak output, the pair apparently deliver 1475ft-lb of torque to the racer's rear wheels. |
