| Time Warner Cable customers may lose TV networks (AP) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 01:30 PM PST NEW YORK – Time Warner Cable Inc. customers from Portland, Maine, to Pensacola, Fla., could lose access to one of their network TV stations because of a contract dispute with Sinclair Broadcast Group. The dust-up between Sinclair and Time Warner is one of a growing number of disputes over the fees that cable providers pay broadcast stations to include their signals in channel lineups. The last high-profile dispute that caused a blackout came earlier this year when Cablevision Systems Corp. customers went without Fox programming for 15 days — missing two World Series games. In most cases, however, cable and broadcast companies have been able to avoid blackouts, even if negotiations go down the wire. Broadcast companies used to allow cable providers to carry their channels for free and made their money selling commercial time. But competition with cable networks for ad dollars has intensified, and the recession underscored how quickly ad spending can fall off when businesses need to cut spending. Now broadcasters see these fees from cable providers as a crucial, second revenue stream. In the latest dispute, Sinclair is asking for more cash for the right to carry signals from its stations, but Time Warner Cable is resisting the increase. If a deal isn't reached, 33 Sinclair stations in 21 markets — among them Fox, NBC, CBS and ABC affiliates — could go dark for Time Warner customers after midnight Friday. However, Fox owner News Corp. has agreed to provide Time Warner with network programming in case a local station operator withholds its signal. That resulted from an agreement a year ago between the two companies to resolve a similar dispute over fees. So Time Warner customers would still get shows such as "Glee," "House" and "The Simpsons," even if they couldn't watch the local Fox newscast. These disputes have been particularly rough on sports fans. If Sinclair and Time Warner don't reach a deal by this weekend, for instance, college football fans in Pensacola may not be able to watch the ABC broadcast of the Florida Gators playing in the Outback bowl. Sinclair, which is based in Hunt Valley, Md., said Tuesday that Time Warner has not presented a counterproposal since rejecting Sinclair's most recent offer. Time Warner says it is still ready to negotiate. Still, Sinclair doesn't have as much clout in these negotiations as the big networks themselves, which have stations in major markets such as New York and Los Angeles and are owned by media conglomerates, which also operate cable networks. Sinclair's stations are located in smaller cities, including San Antonio, Texas, Buffalo, N.Y., and Pittsburgh. |
| Alcatel to pay $137M to settle bribery charges (AP) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 08:52 AM PST NEW YORK – Alcatel-Lucent SA has agreed to pay more than $137 million to settle charges brought against it by the federal government. The Securities and Exchange Commission accused the Paris-based maker of telecommunications gear of paying bribes to foreign government officials to illegally win business in Latin America and Asia. Alcatel, a top supplier to U.S. and European phone companies, agreed to pay more than $45 million to settle the SEC's charges. It will pay an additional $92 million to settle separate criminal charges announced by the Justice Department. The SEC's complaint said Alcatel's bribes went to government officials in Costa Rica, Honduras, Malaysia and Taiwan between December 2001 and June 2006. Alcatel bought U.S.-based Lucent Technologies at the end of 2006. "We take responsibility for and regret what happened and have implemented policies and procedures to prevent these violations from happening again," said Steve Reynolds, the company's general counsel. The SEC complaint, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Miami, said all of the bribery payments were undocumented or improperly recorded as consulting fees by Alcatel subsidiaries and then consolidated into the company's financial statements. The complaint also says leaders of several Alcatel subsidiaries and geographical regions either knew or were severely reckless in not knowing about the misconduct. "Alcatel and its subsidiaries failed to detect or investigate numerous red flags suggesting their employees were directing sham consultants to provide gifts and payments to foreign government officials to illegally win business," Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC's division of enforcement, said in a statement. The settlement is subject to court approval. A year ago, Alcatel created a reserve for the settlement of 97 million euros, or $127 million. As a result, the company said, the settlement won't affect this year's results. Last month Alcatel reported income of 25 million euros ($35 million) on revenue of 4.1 billion euros ($5.8 billion) for the third quarter after losses last year, helped by recovering demand for wireless and growth in Asia and eastern Europe. The company is headquartered in Paris and has its main North American office in Murray Hill, N.J. ___ AP Technology Writer Peter Svensson contributed to this report. |
| Sony to launch PlayStation smartphone in spring (AFP) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 09:02 PM PST TOKYO (AFP) – Sony's long-rumoured PlayStation Portable smartphone is set to be launched in North America and Europe as early as the spring, according to a Japanese newspaper report Wednesday. The device would likely be based on Sony's handheld PSP Go game console, would be made by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications and run Google's Android operating system, said the Asahi Shimbun's English edition, citing unnamed sources. Sony hopes to take on Apple's iPhone, Research in Motion's BlackBerry and Nokia devices by offering the first smartphone that is based on a portable game console, with a set of controls that allows very advanced gaming. The PSP Go, launched in November 2009, already features software downloads through a wireless connection, allowing players to also browse the Internet, watch movies, play music and read books and comics. The new PlayStation handset would similarly work with Sony's online media platform, the company's answer to Apple's iTunes. Sony hopes the phone will stimulate sales in the sluggish videogame console market, said the Asahi. Sony called the newspaper report "speculation" and declined to comment. |
| iPhone 4, T-Mobile G2 Most Buzzed About Phones for 2010 (PC World) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 06:00 PM PST All that talk about faulty antennas didn't seem to harm Apple's reputation too much. For the second year in a row, Apple dominates the list with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS taking the #1 and #5 spots, respectively. The T-Mobile G2 snagged second place while the Motorola Droid X took third. Motorola appeared twice in the top ten with the Droid Pro taking the #7 place. The study was conducted by Zeta Interactive, a marketing agency based in New York City. The firm uses an algorithm technology, called Zeta Buzz, that mines online posts, blogs, messageboards, video sites and social networks regarding a certain product category. Zeta Buzz also looks at the positive and negative keywords surrounding each product, which is also incorporated into the rankings. For example, the T-Mobile G2 and the Samsung Fascinate (#6) were most closely associated with value and cost-effectiveness. The most commonly used words to describe the phones were "value," "deal," "price," and "efficient." Interestingly, though not surprising, is the decline of the BlackBerry. Last year, RIM had three devices in the top ten, but this year, only the Tour made it on the list at #9. RIM might have a comeback next year, however, as the BlackBerry Playbook seems to be getting a lot of buzz before its debut (scheduled for next year). LG, a newcomer to the list, snagged the number four spot with its LG Quantum (running the brand new Windows Phone 7). According to Al DiGuido, CEO of Zeta Interactive, LG's appearance on the list proves that it is possible for brands beyond Apple to build buzz around a product. Surprisingly, neither the popular HTC EVO 4G nor the HTC Incredible made it in the Top 10. The Incredible came in 12th place while the Evo finished 16th place overall. With CES 2011 quickly approaching, there has been a lot of buzz around upcoming Android phones. Will the iPhone still be king next year? Or will the Android invasion finally prevail? |
| 3D TV Going Mobile at CES 2011 Courtesy of LG (PC World) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 04:46 PM PST Viewing 3D TV while out and about is just one of the technological treats that 2011 may have in store. LG is expected to announce a new Mobile Digital TV (MDTV) at CES 2011. While that by itself isn't too impressive, the new models are expected to support 3D video playback. An Akihibara News reportdetailed that the device will be capable of receiving and displaying a 3D TV output even while traveling at speeds of up to 125MPH--a much-needed feature for those traveling on Japan's speedy bullet trains. The device currently has no product name, and very little is known about the future portable's capabilities. More information about LG's upcoming products, including this mobile set, is expected at CES 2011, which kicks off in Las Vegas from January 6th. Lets just hope that the portable TV doesn't need any special glasses to enjoy its content. And look forward to PCWorld's CES coverage next week. [via Engadget] Like this? You might also enjoy...

| Facebook in challenge to Google crown (AFP) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:08 PM PST NEW YORK (AFP) – Facebook is challenging Google's supremacy on the Internet with a radically different approach to how people live, work, play and search online. While Google delivers search results selected by algorithms that take into account a user's Web history, Facebook boasts a richer level of personalization based on one's own "likes" and the recommendations of Facebook friends. Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in his Harvard University dorm room six years ago and is now worth an estimated 6.9 billion dollars, refers to it as the "social graph." "I think what we've found is that when you can use products with your friends and your family and the people you care about they tend to be more engaging," Zuckerberg said in an interview with the CBS show "60 Minutes." "The social graph is incredibly broad," said Wedbush Securities social media analyst Lou Kerner, picking up on Zuckerberg's favorite phrase. "It includes not only what you do and what you like but people you know and what they like and the companies you interact with." For some Internet watchers like Kerner, Facebook is constructing a parallel network built around the interactions of its more than 500 million members. "I refer to Facebook as the second Internet, maybe more valuable than the first because we're all interconnected on it," Kerner told AFP. "Social media is an increasingly important part of how you reach people and it's a growing part of every marketer's budget," he said. "The idea is you do not want to fight Facebook, you want to embrace Facebook and leverage Facebook because this is where people are going to spend increasing amounts of time," he said. According to online tracking firm comScore, Google receives more unique monthly visitors than Facebook but visitors to Facebook spend more time at the site than they do on Google properties. Since early 2010, Facebook has been rolling out features which put it on a collision course with Google -- an @facebook.com email service which competes with Google's Gmail and "Facebook Questions," a search engine of sorts which lets Facebook members ask questions and get answers from other members. Facebook has also been facing off with Google on the hiring front, forcing the Mountain View, California-based Google to recently raise salaries by 10 percent across the board. "They've become competitive in some areas, but it's not that Facebook has grown at Google's expense or that Facebook is growing and Google is shrinking," said Danny Sullivan, editor of technology blog SearchEngineLand.com. "Google is not going away," agreed Kerner. "Google, in fact, I think is going to benefit from the emergence of social media. "Because what it's doing is it's driving people to spend more time online and when you?re spending more time online, you end up doing more searches," he said. "Where they've really been encroaching on each other more is in the display space," Sullivan said. "Facebook has a lot of people who buy display advertising. Google wants to sell more display advertising." Sullivan also said Google "has been trying to encroach on their social area, but they haven't been very successful." Zuckerberg, who was named earlier this month as the Time magazine person of the year, acknowledged to CBS "there are areas where the companies compete." "But then, there are all these areas where we just don't compete at all," he said. Time managing editor Richard Stengel said Zuckerberg -- the second youngest person named to the cover of Time's ritual annual issue -- and his social networking service were "transforming the way we live our lives every day." Facebook's growth is not necessarily a bad thing for Google, which has been coming under increased scrutiny from anti-trust authorities in both the United States and Europe. "Some of it plays very well for Google," Sullivan said. "Google is able to say, 'You know, we have this stiff competition out there.' "It's not necessarily to Google's disadvantage that Facebook is growing." |
| WikiLeaks, a Napster-style Internet gamechanger for 2010 (AFP) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:53 PM PST WASHINGTON (AFP) – If 1999 was the Year of Napster in the history of the Internet then 2010 will go down as the Year of WikiLeaks. Napster, the file-sharing renegade, upended the music industry and copyright in ways still being felt a decade later while WikiLeaks, for better or worse, is likely to have a similar impact on government secrecy and transparency. For now, WikiLeaks has governments, institutions and individuals around the world searching for answers to difficult questions surrounding US policy, free speech, Internet freedom, privacy, secrecy, transparency and the power -- and dangers -- of the Web. WikiLeaks has argued that its release of hundreds of thousands of secret US documents about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the inner workings of US diplomacy exposes US military abuses on the battlefield and "contradictions between the US's public persona and what it says behind closed doors." Its detractors denounce the release of the documents as a crime carried out by a disgruntled US soldier and abetted by a self-appointed truth-teller in the person of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Clay Shirky, a prominent US writer on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies, said he has mixed feelings about WikiLeaks although he staunchly opposes extrajudicial efforts to shut it down. "Like a lot of people, I am conflicted about WikiLeaks," Shirky said in a blog post on his website, Shirky.com. "Citizens of a functioning democracy must be able to know what the state is saying and doing in our name," Shirky said. "Wikileaks plainly improves those abilities. "On the other hand, human systems can't stand pure transparency," he said. "People trying to come to consensus must be able to privately voice opinions they would publicly abjure, and may later abandon. "Wikileaks plainly damages those abilities." Assange is on bail in Britain fighting a bid by Sweden to extradite him over allegations of sexual assault made by two women. His strict bail conditions include reporting to police daily, and wearing an electronic tag. Andrew Rasiej, co-founder of technology and politics blog techPresident.com, said he sees WikiLeaks as a "Napster moment in the evolution of how technology changes the relationship between people and their governments." "The way in which we think about power itself is altered as a result of the Web," Rasiej told AFP. "I would hope that after everything calms down that the government recognizes that it has to fight for openness and transparency and use classification only in rare occasions," he said. Rasiej said he was concerned, however, that instead of embracing greater transparency, "governments may try to invoke a cure that may be worse than the disease." Washington has been infuriated by WikiLeaks and is believed to be considering how to indict Assange over the huge leak. James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said any cyber clampdown may prove to be WikiLeaks's legacy. He noted that Napster was eventually shut down by the courts although it lives on in myriad reincarnations such as The Pirate Bay. "Ten years from now no one's going to look back and say WikiLeaks was a good thing," Lewis told AFP. "They may have started out with good intentions but it's going to backfire. "I think the thing that's going to happen is people are going to step back and ask 'Is this responsible politics?' 'Is this what we want?' And I think the answer is going to be no," he said. "The WikiLeaks people have been about as irresponsible as you can get and they're going to provoke a response and the response will be to try to constrain this kind of activity in the future," Lewis said. "No government and no company is happy with the idea that somebody can steal their data and these guys can just publish it," he said. Media analyst Jeff Jarvis, in a recent op-ed article for Germany's Welt am Sontag republished on his blog Buzzmachine.com, said WikiLeaks and the Internet have combined to "puncture" the power of government secrecy. "Wikileaks has made us all aware that no secret is safe," Jarvis said. "Let us use this episode to examine as citizens just how secret and how transparent our governments should be," he said. "For today, in the Internet age, power shifts from those who hold secrets to those who create openness. That is our emerging reality." |

| Eltima releases 2.0 Beta of Folx download manager (Macworld) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 02:45 PM PST Eltima Software has released the 2.0 Beta of Folx, its download manager and torrent client for Mac OS X. Beta 2.0 adds iTunes integration, RSS feed downloading options, and more advanced file management abilities to the handy utility. Standard Web browsers don't offer many options when it comes to managing and organizing your downloads. Folx replaces your browser's download manager and organizes your downloads via a tagging system that identifies and tags specific filetypes according to parameters you set up. Tagged downloads are automatically placed into corresponding folders on your Mac, helping you stay organized and keeping your Downloads folder uncluttered. Tolx can also increase download speeds by splitting your downloads into multiple threads, and can run as a BitTorrent client for Torrent downloads. One of Folx 2.0's biggest new features is its ability to integrate with iTunes. All downloaded music and video can now be automatically added to iTunes playlists, with Folx creating new playlists named after the downloaded item's tag. You can also now add RSS feeds to Folx and set up parameters for the program to automatically—or manually—download certain content from your RSS feed. Folx's files management system has also been renovated, and now allows file prioritization when downloading multi-file content, and the creation of "smart groups" that unite certain files according to your chosen parameters. Folx is available as a free and pro version. The free version gives you the essential functionality of a download manager and a torrent client, including the ability to split downloads into two threads, auto-resuming of interrupted downloads, prioritizing download tasks, manual control of upload and download speed, and more. Folx Pro, which costs $20, includes more advanced download splitting options, download scheduling, automatic smart speed control, and built-in torrent search on multiple trackers. |
| Cloud Growth Will Be Tempered By Some Restraints (NewsFactor) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 11:27 AM PST Whatever else 2010 might have been, it was the Year of the Cloud. Cloud computing became the buzz phrase of the moment, with Salesforce.com, IBM, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, Rackspace, Dell and others investing major efforts to position themselves in the new clouds. But what's ahead for cloud computing? It depends who you ask, of course. For instance, a new study by Cisco Systems, released earlier this month, found opportunity for enterprises and service providers. For enterprises, the report projected that almost 12 percent of all enterprise workloads will run in the public cloud by the end of 2013. This includes not only desktop applications, e-mail, collaboration and enterprise resource planning, the study said, but potentially any application. "Enterprise executives," the report said, "believe that no applications should be automatically excluded from migration to the cloud." 'Misconceptions Abound' The report said the key opportunity for service providers is that they could "differentiate themselves by becoming cloud service providers." The study involved in-depth interviews with more than 80 enterprise IT decision-makers in 43 enterprises and public-sector organizations in the U.S. It said the key issues determining migration decisions revolve around perceptions by executives about security and control, data-center overcapacity and scale, and the availability of skilled IT people. But discerning patterns in the clouds, as any sky-watcher can assert, depends on one's perspective and disposition. While Cisco's study focuses on opportunities, a new study from Gartner describes cloud computing as currently at "the peak of inflated expectations." "Misconceptions abound, especially as they relate to cost-cutting," the Gartner report said. Nevertheless, the study found that half of the world's 1,000 largest companies will be using external cloud-based services for the top 10 revenue-generating processes within the next five years. To handle that volume and the complexities of integrating and coordinating cloud suppliers, Gartner envisions that cloud service brokerages, or CSBs, will assume a greater role. 'A Genuine Opportunity' Al Hilwa, program director for application development at IDC, sees expectations for cloud computing on the software side as "a bit overblown, but a genuine opportunity." Restraints on its growth, he said, include issues of data custody, control, security, privacy, jurisdiction and portability standards for data and code. Hilwa noted that these need to be resolved "before cloud becomes a majority of the software market." For software that is offered as a service on the developer's own infrastructure, or on a third-party infrastructure that is then sold directly to the customer, Hilwa said, IDC's expectation is that this might total one percent of worldwide software revenue in the near future. But, he added, if you expand the viewpoint to include software "that is sold at the factory through standard mechanisms, but then offered through hosters on a more granular basis," such as per user or per megabyte, then as much as three to five percent of the total software market might be affected. Hilwa said both of these software types could have "significant growth rates" over time, but it's "definitely not the case" that all software is going to become cloud-based in five years. |
| Remains of the Day: Angry angry amoebae (Macworld) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 04:30 PM PST Apple accurately predicted the Apple TV's future, hackers continue to hack, T-Mobile is mocking AT&T again, and iPads are the best tablets around. Believe it or not, these are your remainders for Tuesday, December 28. It's Official: 1 Million Apple TVs Sold (All Things Digital) In the days leading up to Santa's annual worldwide roadtrip, Apple's PR folk noted an annoyingly-timed milestone. Thus, the company was forced to issue a press release declaring that sometime soon, right around Christmas, Apple would sell its millionth second-gen Apple TV. Apple has now confirmed to The Wall Street Journal's All Things D blog that indeed, the company sold Apple TV number one million shortly before Rudolph began sleigh-guiding. So it's official: Apple clearly owns an iDelorean. iPod Nano Hacked, Will Soon Support Movies and iCalendars? (MacStories) Developer/hacker (develohacker? hackveloper?) James Whelton flexed all of his nerd muscles in developing what is essentially a jailbreak for the new iPod nano. You can't do much useful with it yet, but the door is now open for the release of Angry Birds: Amoebae Edition. T-Mobile blames AT&T again for iPhone's FaceTime Wi-Fi cap (Electronista) While Apple has never pointed to AT&T as the reason that the video-chatting FaceTime feature won't work over 3G and instead requires Wi-Fi, competing provider T-Mobile has no problem leveling precisely that accusation. In a new television commercial, harsh aspersions are cast upon AT&T (specifically, "not cool"), while praise is lavished upon T-Mobile and its myTouch 4G—which in fact does allow you to show off your double-chin without a Wi-Fi connection. iPad 'only game in town' during holiday tablet sales (Electronista) An analyst you’ve never heard of concluded that the iPad was the only tablet that came to play this holiday season, citing the fact that “many of the [other] tablets hitting the market are junk.†|
| Mozilla Site Exposed Encrypted Passwords (PC World) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 01:50 PM PST A database of inactive Mozilla usernames and passwords was exposed on the Internet earlier this month, the Mozilla Foundation disclosed on Tuesday. The database, which contained 44,000 inactive user accounts for the addons.mozilla.org site, was inadvertently placed on a public-facing Web server, wrote Chris Lyon, the Mozilla director of infrastructure security, in a blog posting. Lyon stressed that the exposure "posed minimal risk to users." The organization erased all the passwords, which were encrypted. It also accounted for every download of the database. Current users of addons.mozilla.org are not affected, because the organization upgraded its procedure for encrypting passwords in April 2009, Lyon stated. Mozilla security officials were first notified of the exposure on December 17, through the organization's web bounty program, which allows volunteers to submit security-related bugs. The Foundation notified all the account holders by e-mail on December 27 of the exposure. Joab Jackson covers enterprise software and general technology breaking news for The IDG News Service.

| MacTVision brings Internet TV to its all-in-one Mac app (Macworld) Posted: 28 Dec 2010 12:06 PM PST "'Twas the week after Christmas and all through the nation, people asked why they paid for so many stations." MacTVision certainly wants you to ponder the same question, with the company's release of the eponymous MacTVision streaming video application that aims to be your one-stop shop for all your television needs. MacTVision offers 2,600 "channels" of television, but that doesn't quite mean the same thing as it does on your cable box. The software instead aggregates streaming video from various web and Internet sources. For example, BBC Three and C-SPAN are on offer, as are South Park and The Daily Show, each of which receive its own "channel" moniker. MacTVision doesn't circumvent international restrictions on access, so while The Daily Show is available worldwide (just as it is on the Comedy Central website), don't expect to watch the Beeb unless you and your Internet connection live in the United Kingdom. The software offers various features to help you navigate this ocean of video, including filtering options and favorites lists. Double-click the name of a show to see the available episodes, then double-click again to open an episode in a viewer window. This appears in a standard Web-browser video viewer—the video will appear at a small size inside the Web page until you use the video's onscreen controls to expand it. The main upside of MacTVision is that for a one-time fee of $40, you get all the video that's fit to stream. The downsides? You're not getting anything here that you couldn't ferret out yourself using your Web browser. In other words, the cost of the software should be seen as a convenience fee rather than payment for a video service. Also, in a brief test on my older MacBook, the software was sluggish; your mileage may vary on newer hardware. MacTVision offers a 30-day free trial, though, so it's easy to try out the software yourself to see if you enjoy its feature set. MacTVision requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and runs on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. |
