As the man considered the father of Apple's iPod steps down, it becomes clear why the company was eager to hire Mark Papermaster, an IBM chip designer. On this Daily Debrief, CNET's Kara Tsuboi and Tom Krazit discuss the reasoning behind the move and why a consumer product company like Apple would want a guy with server experience heading up their lucrative iPod division. http://news.cnet.com/1606-2_3-50004348.html?tag=rsspr.6247479&part=rss&subj=news

AT&T's Watson wants you to talk your TV into changing the channel


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

AT&T's been cobbling together a voice recognition system for decades, affectionally known as Watson. The good news is that unlike most every other voice recognition system out there, AT&T's might be useful for, you know, stuff. AT&T's working on making your plain-language utterances into real-life gadget actions, and has built a voice-operated TV remote to make the idea a reality. Built to operate the U-verse service, AT&T's new mythical remote lets you ask for whatever comedies might be on, or -- in the inexplicable example cited by our source article -- search for movies starring Bruce Willis, all using your voice in regular person sentences. AT&T's also working with other developers to build applications like a yellow pages app for the iPhone. There's no word on when (or if) AT&T will actually offer up the remote for consumer use, or when other applications are due to hit the mainstream, but we must say we're ready for the tide to shift in human-computer interaction, where the computer does the heavy lifting. Because we have some Bruce Willis movies to watch.

Intel News Release Intel to Combine WiMAX and Variety of Mobile Devices


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20070919corp_a.htm

Intel News Release
Intel to Combine WiMAX and Variety of Mobile Devices to Shape Future Wireless Broadband Internet World


INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, San Francisco, Sept. 19, 2007 – Intel Corporation executives today promised that the pending rollout of WiMAX, ongoing innovation to its popular Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology for laptop products and a new category of Internet-connected devices will usher in a new era of reliable broadband-connected wireless computing starting next year. Under the mantra of smaller, faster and more energy-efficient computing, consumers will increasingly shift toward this combination of technologies to use the Internet for entertainment, business and content-heavy personalization on-the-go.

"Intel is the undisputed market leader today with notebook PCs by providing consumers with what they want in performance, battery life and a fully loaded internet experience," said David (Dadi) Perlmutter, Intel senior vice president and general manager, Mobility Group. "Mobile users have an insatiable appetite for and want even more mobility, connectivity and a full Internet on their smaller devices. Intel will satisfy those needs by delivering our latest 45nm processors and WiMAX to notebooks, as well as Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) in 2008, and also using some of these technologies to bring an affordable computing and Internet experience to emerging communities and economies around the world."

Perlmutter continued by discussing how Intel continues to provide advanced mobile processors based on innovative High-k metal gate (Hi-k) silicon technology that deliver energy efficiency for great battery life needed by users on-the-go. He showed what users could expect in terms of more performance and battery life features when the next-generation Centrino Duo processor technology is refreshed with Intel's 45nm Hi-k dual core mobile processor, codenamed Penryn. Perlmutter also demonstrated the graphics improvement for the refreshed Centrino Duo based notebooks by unlocking advanced graphic technologies for an enhanced visual experience, especially with DirectX 10-based applications.

Due out later in 2008, Montevina processor technology, also based on Penryn, will span the full range of notebook designs from mini-notes to full size. Also featured in Montevina is integrated HD-DVD*/Blu-ray* support for consumers and next generation data manageability and security features for the enterprise. Montevina will be Intel's first Centrino processor technology for notebooks to offer the option of integrated Wi-Fi and WiMAX wireless technologies for greater wireless broadband access.

Mobile WiMAX provides multi-megabit speed, greater throughput and wider range compared to other wireless broadband alternatives, which is crucial as consumers increasingly want to access user-generated content, high-definition videos, music, photos and other large data files while on the go. Perlmutter showed off the capabilities of mobile WiMAX with three mobile vehicles cruising through the audience at the Intel Developer Forum, including a Segway, golf cart and scooter.

Perlmutter also outlined how using new technologies developed for low power will help break the affordability barrier by being able to offer a very low-cost solution.

Full Internet -- In Your Pocket
Anand Chandrasekher, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Ultra Mobility Group, described the evolution of the personal mobile Internet, outlined Intel's silicon roadmap that will deliver radical reductions in power requirements and package sizes, and disclosed a range of leading industry players working with Intel to establish the MID and ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) categories.

"Mobile users are demanding to take the full Internet experience anytime, anywhere – in essence these users want the full Internet to be delivered to them wirelessly and in their pocket," Chandrasekher said. "In the first half of 2008, Intel will take a major step to deliver what these users are looking for with our first platform designed from the ground up for MIDs and UMPCs – codenamed Menlow, which will deliver 10x lower power compared to the first UMPCs in the market. After Menlow our next-generation platform – codenamed Moorestown, will increase battery life an order of magnitude by reducing idle power by 10x compared to Menlow."

Menlow is based on Silverthorne a 45nm Hi-k low power microarchitecture-based processor and next-generation chipset, codenamed Poulsbo. Also featured on the Menlow- based customer designs are optional standardized communications capabilities such as Wi-Fi, 3G and WiMAX to enable more of an always-connected experience.

A number of early working prototypes, resulting from the formation of the Mobile Internet Device Innovation Alliance 6 months ago, were demonstrated by Chandrasekher.

"Together, alliance members have worked on engineering challenges, including power management, wireless communications and software integration," he said.

Chandrasekher provided a sneak peek at Moorestown that consists of a system on chip (SOC) design combining the CPU, graphics, video and memory controller onto a single chip. A Moorestown-based MID will have idle power that will be 10x lower than the 2008 Menlow design, enabling longer battery life in smaller form factors.

Industry momentum continues to grow in the UMPC and MID categories, according to Chandrasekher. To illustrate the support, Chandrasekher welcomed Mark Shuttleworth, founder and CEO of Canonical*, on stage and discussed the company's entry into the MID segment. Shuttleworth showcased a pre-alpha release of Ubuntu Mobile on an Intel Menlow-based MID.

In addition, Chandrasekher was joined on stage by Al Ramadan, senior vice president, Mobile and Device Solutions Business Unit, Adobe. Ramadan described Adobe* AIR* and discussed how the combination of MIDs and Adobe AIR applications will bring compelling new experiences to the user. Adobe AIR will support Windows and Linux based Menlow platforms in the future.

It's an epidemic. It can strike anyone. It begins harmlessly enough... maybe with a cell phone, an online social network profile, or an IM. But before long, the electronic screens invade every corner of your life.

There's a name for this tragic and extremely annoying condition: Screen Addiction.

But there is hope. Send an intervention to someone you care about! Help them take the first step towards recovery.

And one last site

http://howsmynanny.com/
HowsMyNanny.com is a service run by a New York City prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes who is also a mother of two. Through this site, parents can now purchase a license plate for their stroller that enables the public to anonymously report good or bad nanny observations. Registered parents instantaneously receive an email alerting them to the confidential report.

Featured on Good Morning America, Fox News National and endorsed in New York's Daily News, HowsMyNanny.com has been hailed "an honest solution to a tough problem."

It is a great innovative way to know what is going on when you are not there!

Leo Laporte's 6 rules of computing


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

Leo’s Laporte's Six Rules for Safe Computing:

1. Don’t open email attachments; even if it’s from someone you know. If you do get something from someone you know, make sure that they really sent it to you. Email attachments are the number one way viruses and trojan horses get into your email. You might also want to turn off HTML email in Outlook and other programs. HTML emails are just as dangerous as rogue web sites, and can spread infections just by previewing them.

2. Don’t click links in email. That link could lead you to a phishing site, or the link may lead you to install malicious software. Copy and paste links into your browser, or type them in by hand instead. Another reason to disable HTML email - the HTML hides the real destination of that seemingly innocuous link.

3. Don’t download files from places you aren’t absolutely sure are safe. Stick with the well known sites. Teeneagers who use filesharing software like BitTorrent, Azureus, Kazaa, Morpheus, Grokster, and Limewire, often unwittingly download spyware and trojans. If you must, quarantine all downloads then scan them a few days later with an updated anti-virus.

4. Update your OS regularly! Turn on automatic updates in OS X and Windows. Apply all critical updates immediately. Criminals often create hacks within 24 hours of Microsoft’s patches (these are called zero day exploits), so you need to protect yourself the day the patches appear.

5. Use a firewall. The best firewall is a hardware router - the kind you use to share an internet connection. Even if they’re not billed as firewalls, they are, and they’re quite effective. I also recommend turning on your operating system’s firewall - even if you have a router - but I don’t recommend third-party software firewalls. They cause more problems than they solve.

6. Never run as an administrator in any operating system. Administrators have way too many priveleges that malicious people/code can take advantage of. Run as a limited user as much as possible. Windows Vista, Linux, and Mac OSX allow you to run a majority of features, but with some additional safety, as a limited user.
Hour 1

I should just put them up once a month and be done with it...

Don't play with Chrome now. Wait. September 6, 2008 8:27 AM PDT Mozilla releases second Firefox 3.1 alpha


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.


The Mozilla Corporation has released an advance testing version of its popular Firefox Web browser, just days after Google revealed its competing Chrome software.

The second alpha of Firefox 3.1 was made available overnight. The software, code-named Shiretoko, is at this stage intended for software developers and testers only, with the stable and recommended version of Firefox being 3.0.1.


In a statement, Mozilla said the testing version of Firefox introduced several new features, including the browser's highly anticipated support for a new video tag element introduced with the HTML 5 standard to provide more functionality around the amount of video that is increasingly being delivered through Web browsers.

In addition, Shiretoko allows users to drag and drop tabs between browser windows, improves performance in some areas and provides better integration with Windows Vista's Aero 'Glass' theme for those wanting to add extra themes on top of Firefox.

The new software also adds some speed enhancements to the browser, particularly in the area of JavaScript handling, which was one area Google highlighted as being a strength of the Chrome browser it launched this week, also in testing form.

Mozilla is planning to integrate a faster JavaScript engine, dubbed TraceMonkey, into Firefox. However the organization noted that technology was not included in the software released overnight, although it could be tested by following a set of instructions posted online.

But I think it's OK to start using FireFox again, 3.0.1

More on Chrome and the others & gee which did you think I use...


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.



Google Chrome: Browser competition back in high gear.

Google Chrome is a warning shot over the bows of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

The open-source software project, to be detailed later Tuesday at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., should dispel any lingering thoughts that the browser wars are over. To be sure, it's less cutthroat now than in the 1990s, but one of technology's most powerful companies is now on the battlefield.

September 2, 2008 6:37 AM PDT Google steps on Firefox with its new Zune...err, Chrome browser


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

Despite Google's recent extension of its partnership with Mozilla, it was just a matter of time before Google got too big for anyone else's browser and decided to write its own. Or, rather, it was just a matter of time before Google decided to borrow the best of others' open-source projects and extend them, as this is what Google generally does.

And so Google has done with its newly announced open-source "Chrome", by name browser:

What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build.

Ars technica thinks Chrome sounds really innovative, what with its ability to segment the processes running in different browser tabs, among other things. Mozilla's John Lilly welcomes the competition and continued partnership with Google, but can't help but strike an ominous chord:

...[T]he parts where [Google and Mozilla are] different, with different missions, will continue to be separate. Mozilla's mission is to keep the Web open and participatory....


Lilly doesn't say it, but presumably he could have finished the sentence this way: "...And Google's mission is to drive as much traffic and advertisements through its sites and services." This is where I believe Chrome could both thrive and stagnate.


So writes Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management at Google, and so plans Google. The difference this time is that Google will actually have to contribute code back, making its Chrome browser an experiment in community building, rather than merely community borrowing. It's also an experiment in distributing software, not merely services, an area in which Google has not made much of a dent to date.

For the rest of the story

I'll be waiting a while, before I do anything. And maybe I'll read more on it first as well.

The Bloomberg financial newswire decided to update its 17-page Steve Jobs obituary today


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

The Bloomberg financial newswire decided to update its 17-page Steve Jobs obituary today — and inadvertently published it in the process. Some investors were undoubtedly rattled to see, as our tipster did late this afternoon, the Apple CEO's obit cross the wire and then suddenly disappear. Jobs's battle with pancreatic cancer, and speculation over his health, jarred Wall Street earlier this year and continues to be the subject of speculation. The Times weighed in on the matter as recently as last month, when columnist Joe Nocera spoke with the secretive tech executive. But news organizations routinely prepare obituaries in advance, even for the healthy. And if Bloomberg readers had seen the internal story slug, "testjobs," their jitters might have abated. The obit, which we've obtained and reprinted after the jump, is a bit macabre to read but should not scare you out of your Apple shares. (UPDATE: Bloomberg has "retracted" its obituary, and the retraction is also after the jump.) More interesting are the accompanying notes for Bloomberg reporters!

FTC all but bans robocalls

WASHINGTON--The Federal Trade Commission essentially banned robocalls Tuesday--creating new rules that telemarketers may only send the prerecorded sales pitches to people who actually want to receive them.

'Malvertizement' epidemic visits house of Newsweek.com

Symptoms felt 'all over the net'
By Dan Goodin in San Francisco
Published Monday 18th August 2008 19:48 GMT

Newsweek.com is one of several high-profile websites suspected of running rogue banner advertisements that try to trick visitors into installing fraudulent anti-malware programs, security researchers warn.

The malicious ads have been appearing on Newsweek's website via feeds that carry the Washingtonpost.com address, according to this post on the Bluetack Internet Security Solutions site. The ads redirect users to a site that falsely claims users' PCs are infected with malware and urges them to buy and install software
that will remedy the problem. The banner graphic posed as an ad for
www.easy-forex.com, which bills itself as an online foreign currency exchange.

Mystery web attack hijacks your clipboard


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

A new web-based attack is making the rounds that tries to spread poisonous links by hijacking end users' clipboards.

Forum discussions all over report the same thing: the commenter surfs to a seemingly legitimate site (MSNBC.com comes up more than once) and suddenly a malicious link is copied to the clipboard. The rogue link remains even after the user copies a new batch of text. The only way to remove it is to reboot the computer.

You'll need to read the rest of the story for the who, what, where, and how of it from theregister.co.uk.


The attack has been reported by Firefox users running both OS X and Windows, but we wouldn't be surprised to hear that other browsers and operating systems are also vulnerable. It's unclear exactly how the attack spreads. The Spyware Sucks blog posits here that banner ads transmitting bad Adobe Flash code is responsible, and that makes sense to us.

New PCs Can Wake up When They Get Phone Calls


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

NEW YORK — Intel Corp. is unveiling new technology that will let computers "wake up"
from their power-saving sleep state when they receive a phone call over the Internet.

Current computers have to be fully on to receive a call, making them
impractical and energy-wasters as replacements for the telephone.

Leo Leporte's 6 for safe computing. You ask me to find it, so...


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

I keep trying to get you to do any one but if you'll listen to leo that fine. What's inportant is that your safe. And I've made it a clickable link to go to his Show note were you'll see them for yourselves.

Leo’s Six Rules for Safe Computing:

1. Don’t open email attachments; even if it’s from someone you know. If you do get something from someone you know, make sure that they really sent it to you. Email attachments are the number one way viruses and trojan horses get into your email. You might also want to turn off HTML email in Outlook and other programs. HTML emails are just as dangerous as rogue web sites, and can spread infections just by previewing them.

2. Don’t click links in email. That link could lead you to a phishing site, or the link may lead you to install malicious software. Copy and paste links into your browser, or type them in by hand instead. Another reason to disable HTML email - the HTML hides the real destination of that seemingly innocuous link.

3. Don’t download files from places you aren’t absolutely sure are safe. Stick with the well known sites. Teeneagers who use filesharing software like BitTorrent, Azureus, Kazaa, Morpheus, Grokster, and Limewire, often unwittingly download spyware and trojans. If you must, quarantine all downloads then scan them a few days later with an updated anti-virus.

4. Update your OS regularly! Turn on automatic updates in OS X and Windows. Apply all critical updates immediately. Criminals often create hacks within 24 hours of Microsoft’s patches (these are called zero day exploits), so you need to protect yourself the day the patches appear.

5. Use a firewall. The best firewall is a hardware router - the kind you use to share an internet connection. Even if they’re not billed as firewalls, they are, and they’re quite effective. I also recommend turning on your operating system’s firewall - even if you have a router - but I don’t recommend third-party software firewalls. They cause more problems than they solve.

6. Never run as an administrator in any operating system. Administrators have way too many priveleges that malicious people/code can take advantage of. Run as a limited user as much as possible. Windows Vista, Linux, and Mac OSX allow you to run a majority of features, but with some additional safety, as a limited user.

New PCs can wake up when they get phone calls


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.


By PETER SVENSSON, AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK - Intel Corp. is unveiling new technology that will let computers wake up from their power-saving sleep state when they receive a phone call over the Internet.

Current computers have to be fully on to receive a call, making them impractical and energy-wasters as replacements for the telephone.

The new component Intel is announcing Thursday will let computers automatically return to a normal, full-powered state when a call comes in. The computer can activate its microphone and loudspeaker to alert the user, then connect the call.

"This certainly helps the PC become a much better center of communications in the home," said Trevor Healy, chief executive of Jajah, which will be the first Internet telephone company to utilize the feature.

The first Intel motherboards with the Remote Wake capability will be shipping in the next month, said Joe Van De Water, director of consumer product marketing for Intel.

From Dick DeBartolo, The Giz Wiz


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.



http://www.gizwizbiz.com/


Dick's gadget spots are low to medium-tech and light hearted. The light-hearted part stems from his second career as MAD Magazine's MADDEST Writer. For more than forty years he's been writing many of those famous off-the-wall movie, tv and ad take-offs. He started his MAD writing career in high school when he submitted an article. He thought it had been returned when his own envelope came back. The envelope was stuffed with cardboard, a check and a note: "ha, ha, thought you were rejected, but we bought your piece. Dick wrote the book GOOD DAYS AND MAD, which is all about the insane way MAD founder William M. Gaines ran his multi-million dollar empire. (No secretaries, no switchboard, even white wine in the water cooler one day!)

Dick appears regularly on WORLD NEWS NOW, the overnight ABC Network news program showing the latest gizmos and gadgets. He also appears on http://www.twit.tv/DGW Leo Laporte's, the tech guy, webcast website and has appeared several times on the HAPPY HOUR on the Fox Business Channel.
It's fun and so is he.

See and hear him:

The air car, that our Gov. won't let in the US


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.

The website http://www.theaircar.com/



See the video on Youtube

This is the same company which-a few months back-invented
a car that costs only $2500 new. BUT it's
not available in the USA
. Why is it that a gasless vehicle that eliminates the
reason to buy oil from foreign countries hasn't nipped the
minds of US manufacturers? How bad can this be for
anybody, anywhere in the world -- except for foreign oil?

The Compressed Air Car, developed by Motor Development International (MDI)

Founder Guy Negre, might be the best thing
to happen to the motor engine, and people all
over the world.

The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned
Air Car models, reaches 68 mph, goes for a
range of 125 miles. It will take only a few
minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at
gas stations equipped with custom air
compressor units. MDI says it should cost
only around $2 to fill the car up with
340 liters of air!

The Air Car will be starting production soon,
thanks to India 's TATA Motors.
Forget corn! That's a joke.

There's fuel, user friendly, pocketbook
friendly fuel!
What can be better than air?

Cool Concept :)

Now
If We will just DEMAND
this technology in
the USA , we can tell
Saudi Arabia , Venezuela &
dirty foreign oil to take a
hike!

In the meantime we suffer because of the
worst do nothing Congress in US history.
