    This holiday shopping season, retailers are trying to capitalize on the still niche, but poised to boom, market of mobile shoppers such as the Blooms.

    Some 19% of Americans will use their mobile devices for shopping this holiday season, according to a Deloitte survey. The number is twice as high for young consumers: 39% of those 18 to 29 say they'll use their phones to find store locations, obtain coupons and sales information and research products and prices. One-quarter of all who plan to use their phones to shop say they will make purchases on the devices.

    Newscard IPhone officially lands in South Korea

    A month after Apple started selling its iPhone in China, the device expanded its Asian reach Saturday with a much-heralded launch in South Korea.

    In keeping with the tradition of waiting in line for hours in advance of an iPhone launch, hundreds queued up overnight outside the Olympic stadium in Seoul to snag the smartphone as soon as it officially landed amid blaring music and strobe lights. The hoopla appeared to far trump the phone's more subdued arrival in China, where it launched in the October cold and rain to smaller-than-expected crowds.

    KT Corp, South Korea's second largest mobile carrier (after SK Telecom) and the local distributor of the iPhone, says about 65,000 people have preordered the device, which hit the South Korean market two months after the government approved its sale

    EU hearing on Oracle-Sun set for Dec. 10
    November 26, 2009 9:43 AM PST

    http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10405523-92.html

    Oracle will meet with European Commission regulators to urge their approval of its merger with Sun Microsystems. Should make for an interesting meeting given Oracle's refusal to take the EC's concerns about the future of Sun's MySQL database seriously. Certainly, it's difficult to imagine Oracle caving to the Commission's demands when it has criticized the group's findings as a "profound misunderstanding" of the database market and open source.

    And if not that, then what? Would Oracle abandon the deal instead? That too seems unlikely because it would mean delaying CEO Larry Ellison's plan to transform Oracle into the next IBM. As Ellison said in October, "T. J. Watson's IBM was the greatest company in the history of enterprise in America because its combination of hardware and software was running most of the enterprises on the planet. We think with the combination of Sun technology and Oracle technology we can succeed and beat IBM. That's our goal."

    TINY magnetic discs just a millionth of a metre in diameter could be used to kill cancer cells, according to a study.
    Laboratory tests found the so-called "nanodiscs", around 60 billionths of a metre thick, could be used to disrupt the membranes of cancer cells, causing them to self-destruct.

    The discs are made from an iron-nickel alloy, which move when subjected to a magnetic field, damaging the cancer cells, according to the study, published in Nature Materials yesterday.

    One of the study's authors, Elena Rozhlova of Argonne National Laboratory in the United States, said subjecting the discs to a low magnetic field for around ten minutes was enough to destroy 90 per cent of cancer cells in tests.

    In a commentary on the report, Jon Dobson of Keele University in Britain said antibodies could be used to direct the discs towards tumour cells.

    "This provides an elegant and rapid technique for targeting tumour destruction without the side effects associated with systemic treatments such as chemotherapy,"

    Johnston Press starts charging for online local news
    UK newspaper firms is to charge for online content. Johnston Press website ask people to pay for a three-month reading online article. And a lot of newspaper firms also do like this such as Workshop Guardian, the Ripley & Heanor News and the Whitby Gazette. Also in Scotland, the Carrick Gazette and Southern Reporter.
    Barry Fitzpatrick, head of publishing at the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said that he concerned about Johnston Press action it does it properly, in a way that will secure the future of journalism across its titles
    Johnston Press need to find the high-quality content that can influence the people to pay for. Johnston has effect from the decreasing in advertising revenues.
    The Guardian's director of digital content Emily Bell told that if your content are not difference or excluesive so it cann’t gain interest from people to assess your website.
    Most other national newspapers in the UK remain free to online readers. Earlier this month, Google has try to block from using news content from News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch. He said that his websites of news would begin to charging for access.
    Newspaper across the world were suffered before global recession. The effect was falling advertising revenues and declines in circulation as readers migrated to the web.
    London daily Evening Standard is now a freesheet to Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev and closed its London Lite free paper. Manchester Evening News cut 150 jobs and closed eight offices, while Trinity Mirror sacked 40 journalists at the Liverpool Daily Post and the Echo, and cut its editions of the Post. The big newspaper firms in US also face with this effect such as Tribune Company filed for bankruptcy in December 2008

    How technology will save music

    Forget about file sharing. Music's going to be fine
    By Gary MarshallNovember 30th.

    Just listening to music is so 20th Century. MXP4's player enables you to remix tracks and connect with other fans

    Lord Mandelson's draconian anti-filesharing plans are designed to save the music business. But does it need saving?

    Thanks to evil music pirates, sales of singles in 2009 are, er, higher than they've ever been. "This truly is the era of the digital single," Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company says.

    "The UK Top 40 is now almost entirely comprised of digital singles," the British Phonographic Industry says. So does the music business really need saving from technology - or is technology saving it from itself?
    Our money's on the latter.
    Sales of both digital singles and albums are rising, but overall sales are still in decline. However, if you look at the bigger picture, there are plenty of ways for the music industry to benefit from technology - and not just through the precision marketing that's possible thanks to data mining and social networking.

    Industry body PRS For Music estimates the value of the UK recorded music market at £1.3 billion [PDF] and says that's one-third of the total music money pie. The recorded music slice is getting smaller, but that doesn't mean the pie is.

    Title; 2
    Music for free

    So where will the money come from if not from sales of CDs?
    First up, there's more to the music business than selling songs. PRS For Music: "The so-called disengaged majority – a full 60% of the UK population - may in fact engage with music through a variety of legal alternatives to music retail (eg live venues, YouTube, BBC and commercial radio). Importantly, some of these alternatives are provided for free at the point of consumption, with compensation taking place further up the supply chain."

    A good example of this is YouTube or the free version of Spotify. Playback is free to us, but the sites generate advertising revenue that helps pay for the music they use. YouTube doesn't say how much it brings in, but according to Out-Law.com Spotify brings in around £82,000 per month in advertising income.

    Free content can also be used to up-sell and cross-sell so, for example, somebody watching a Muse clip may well want to see Muse live or buy a Muse concert DVD. The free service didn't generate money directly, but it still generated money.

    Subscription services can generate serious sums, too. U2.com's $50 annual subscriptions keep Bono in sunglasses, while Spotify's premium users generate annual revenues of up to £72 million (Out-Law again).

    When you compare that to the £3 million Spotify is said to pay for the rights to stream music, it's clear that subscription services have the potential to be wildly profitable - which is presumably why MSN is making MSN Music a Spotify-a-like.
    PRS For Music says: "[in] a worst case scenario, if the entire music buying population converted to services like Spotify, and only half of them converted to subscription, the industry would still break even."

    Bike your Drive -- The outdoorsy types at REI have a free app specifically for bike commuters. It uses the iPhone's GPS to calculate how far you've gone, how many calories you've burned and how much gas (and money) you've saved by ditching the car. It also tells you how much carbon you've offset by hopping on two wheels instead of four.
    Transit Maps -- This sweet little app puts those big transit maps in your pocket so you can figure out where to catch that transfer or hit the stop closest to your destination. It's super-simple to use and has a clean interface. Simply download the map from your local transit agency and store it on your phone.
    Transit Maps is essentially a 3G .pdf viewer, but that doesn't make it any less handy to have in your pocket.

    Maps + Compass -- This one is standard on the iPhone, and it's useful whether you're crossing town or crossing the continent. Plug in your current location and your destination and tell it whether you're walking, driving or taking the bus.

    Microsoft's executive dismissed the likelihoodit would pay newspaper owners to remove content from Google .Microsoft had been in talks over a News Corp-led initiative that would have paid publishers to leave Google .Microsoft claimed声称 gains of 16 percent more users in first five months since the release of Bing
    Microsoft's top search technology executive on Wednesday all but dismissed the likelihood that the company would pay newspaper owners and other publishers for removing their content from Google.
    His comments came a week after it emerged that Microsoft had been in talks over a News Corp-led initiative that would have paid publishers to leave Google as a way to boost Microsoft's own search engine, Bing.
    Meanwhile, Google extended another olive branch to the news media on Wednesday, with a new technology tool to make it easier for those that do not want to be included in Google News to be able to remove their content from the service.
    The move came a day after Google allowed publishers to set new limits on the amount of free content they make available while still being included in the Google search index, and was the latest indication of efforts to appease publishers who have complained that the search company is damaging their online efforts.

    Title:Bing Maps Beta: Very cool, but limited
    URL:http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/03/cnet.bing.maps.microsoft/index.html

    Microsoft's Bing took a major step forward in adding rich mapping and image data to its search engine, Bing Maps Beta was released during a presentation at Microsoft's offices here. It's a Silver light-based application that runs inside Bing Maps and adds Microsoft's version of Google Street View -- called Street side -- to Bing Maps, as well as enhanced "bird's eye" images that let you swoop over cities. The images are high-quality, and the location fixes are quite precise. The bird's-eye views have been improved with more perspective on roads hidden by buildings and name prominent buildings right on the map. Bing offers a much richer look at the world. It does this at the expense of performance, but it presents a credible alternative to Google Maps for travelers and residents of major cities. But until it assembles more data, pretty pictures aren't enough to beat the Google Maps juggernaut.

    Title : Microsoft Bing Maps Beta adds much richer images

    The new beta service can find images of items inside popular destinations, such as art exhibits inside museums and other geotagged images available on the Internet through Microsoft Photosynth. Developers can also create Web applications to run inside the Bing Maps Beta, such as an application that works with Newseum to index local papers inside maps and let Bing users see the front pages of newspapers across the country. In addition, Bing Maps Beta users will be able to see local tweets through a partnership with Twitter demonstrated during the event. Twitter recently rolled out a geolocation service.

    A Tongue-Tracking Artificial Larynx
    It could soon be possible for individuals whom have lost th power of speech to regain this function with the aid of a digital device which tracks movements and contact between the tongue and the palate. South African researchers are currently working on the artificial larynx which wont have the raspy or robotic sound of currently used devices. The artificial Larynx which can detect words that are being said via movements in the mouth will rely upon a sound synthesizer to generate the sound which should be emmited from the mouth.
    The Palatometer which is fitted into the mouth works on the principal that the speaker will mouth the words then the movements will be synthesized into real speech paterns. Though the development is far from finished, or from being able to recognising a whole language (the researchers have currently reached a fifty word vocabulary recognition model) the scientists do say that the future for people who have lost their speech ability could look a whole lot brighter and the results given by the palatometer could be a whole lot more natural than those of devices available today.

    10 Web trends to watch in 2010

    As 2009 is approaching it's end, many people has been asking and wondering what will be the web's trend for year 2010?

    Pete Cashmore, the founder and CEO of Mashable, had listed down 10 possible web's trend that might take place in the technology world in the coming year. However, I will just include 3 points that I felt personally interesting.

    (1) Real-time ramps up - He mentioned that wave's utility will become more apparent as people are urging for the immediacy in communication through different social networks. Therefore, applications such as Trenchwatching, Midomi and Google Wave might be the next big hit in social networks circle.

    (2) Location - He predicted that Foursquare and its ilk may become the breakout services of the year. Basically, location is not about any singular service but as a new layer of the Web.

    (3) Fame abundance, privacy scarcity

    With the birth of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, we are all reality stars with the ongoing voluntary exposion of privacy through public sharing on these networks.With the Google-fueled apettite that we can know everything through Google search, he predicted that personal privacy exposion might continue to be the next big heat in year 2010.

    One in 10 people with personal MP3 or CD players could suffer permanent hearing loss because their music is too loud, according to an EU study.

    Scientists say those who listen at high volume for more than one hour per day over five years risk permanent harm.

    They say up to 10 million people across Europe, including many children and adolescents, could be affected.

    Title: Hundred times faster, cooler computers on their way!
    Gurmukh Singh|Toronto (IANS)|December 16, 2009
    URL: http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20091216/860/ttc-hundred-times-faster-cooler-computer.html

    Indian-origin researcher Sanjeev John and his colleague Xun Ma of the University of Toronto have discovered new behaviour of light which could lead to cooler and faster computing.

    The two quantum optics researchers have discovered 'new behaviours' of light changes within photonic crystals that could lead to faster optical information processing and compact computers that don't overheat.

    "We discovered that by sculpting a unique artificial vacuum inside a photonic crystal, we can completely control the electronic state of artificial atoms (light) within the vacuum," lead author Xun Ma was quoted as saying in a statement here Tuesday.

    "This discovery can enable photonic computers that are more than a hundred times faster than their electronic counterparts, without heat dissipation issues and other bottlenecks currently faced by electronic computing," said Ma.

    Added Sanjeev John, "We designed a vacuum in which light passes through circuit paths that are one one-hundredth of the thickness of a human hair, and whose character changes drastically and abruptly with the wavelength of the light."

    "A vacuum experienced by light is not completely empty, and can be made even emptier. It's not the traditional understanding of a vacuum."

    Ma said, "In this vacuum, the state of each atom - or quantum dot - can be manipulated with color-coded streams of laser pulses that sequentially excite and de-excite it in trillionths of a second. These quantum dots can in turn control other streams of optical pulses, enabling optical information processing and computing."

    The researchers, whose original aim was to gain a deeper understanding of optical switching as part of an effort to develop an all-optical micro-transistor that could operate within a photonic chip, ended up discovering a new and unexpected dynamic switching mechanism.

    Their research also led to the discovery of corrections to one of the most fundamental equations of quantum optics, known as the Bloch equation.

    Said John, "This new mechanism enables micrometer scale integrated all-optical transistors to perform logic operations over multiple frequency channels in trillionths of a second at microwatt power levels, which are about one millionth of the power required by a household light bulb. That this mechanism allows for computing over many wavelengths as opposed to electronic circuits which use only one channel, would significantly surpass the performance of current day electronic transistors."
