Why Windows Mobile will have a good 2009
Written by Geoffrey Emery   
Thursday, 12 March 2009 08:52
We have just seen Gartner’s Q4 2008 numbers, and Windows Mobile did pretty well. Many, even Windows Mobile fans, think 2009 will be different, with the iPhone surging back and Android rising from the bottom. Here is why that is wrong, and Windows Mobile will meet its 22 million 2009 target. 1) Aggressive action by new large licensees like LG, who pledged 50 new WM phones over the next 3 years. Windows Mobile’s strength has always been its licensees, and with 4 out of the big 5 using the OS in…

Online privacy groups Strike back At New Google Adds
Written by Geoffrey Emery   
Thursday, 12 March 2009 08:47

It didn’t take two online privacy groups that long to attack Google’s recent announced interest-based advertising. Electronic Privacy Information and Center for Digital Democracy have similarly attacked the online ad targeting program.

For its part, Marc Rotenberg executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center said that the interest-based ad targeting is a disaster and would allow Google to exploit its access to user data for advertising purposes. Rotenberg also said that Google was even among those who opposed this kind of advertising. Rotenberg is then calling on the Federal Trade Commission to stop Google’s implementation of the internet-based  advertising.

On the other hand, the Center for Digital Democracy which is not really against the internet-based ads per-say but was just asking Google to let users opt-in instead opt-out of the said program.

In an email sent to PC World CDC Executive Director Jeffrey Chester said:

“It’s a very incomplete and flawed safeguard. Missing from what users should know and control are the applications Google uses to develop the ad so it can target and collect data. Users should know if Google is using neuromarketing, viral marketing, rich immersive media and social networks.”

  It seems not so long ago i was told about this great service that would forward your call around to your different devices. Well long ago turned out to be two years ago and now I only have one number but that being said google voice launches with super cool feature. Voice mail transcription.  A feature that is killing me on skype. Most people have never used the service, because Google froze new accounts after the acquisition. The freeze isn’t being lifted yet (and we’ve heard there are tens…

 
Microsoft Releases Open Tools to Enhance Scientific Research
Written by Geoffrey Emery   
Thursday, 12 March 2009 08:16
The nuggets of information necessary for science to progress are often hard to find, submerged deep within the Web, or within databases that can’t be easily accessed or integrated. As a result, many scientists today work in relative isolation, follow blind alleys and unnecessarily duplicate existing research. Addressing this critical challenge for researchers, Microsoft Corp. and Creative Commons announced today, before an industry panel at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference (ETech 200…

Hulu Adds Social On First birthday
Written by Geoffrey Emery   
Thursday, 12 March 2009 08:02
Hulu friendsOnline video site Hulu opened its doors to the public (in the US, anyway) a year ago today. Since then, Hulu says its video library has grown 333 percent from 12,000 videos to 40,000 videos. It'd take you 7,1000 hours to watch it all. The site now has 130 content partners, which is more than twice as many as it had a year go. And the number of advertising partners has nearly quintupled. Of course, the site has also begun limiting the way users can access videos. When Hulu launched, the compa…
