Battery Powered Homes

Panasonic Lithium-Ion Storage Batteries to provide energy for Homes in a couple of years

Following the news last Monday (Dec.21) of their acquisition of more than 50% of the voting stocks of Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd as part of their strategy to be the leader in the industry as an “Environmental Innovation Company” by 2018, news dropped on the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun through their interview with Fumio Otsubo, President of Panasonic, that they have already constructed with Sanyo (now a Panasonic Group Company) lithium-ion storage battery for use at homes for a week (obviously Japanese homes are implied). According to the interview, Mr.Otsubo also states that the technology will be commercialized sometime in 2011 and is planned to be available along with a system that will allow users to monitor the electricity usage on TV at their home.

Rumors

Apple Tablet, G-Phone Rumors

Posted by Sam Churchill on December 23rd, 2009

Silicon Alley Insider says Apple could unveil a tablet next month. According to mobile blog Boy Genius report, Apple is “100%” likely to announce a 7-inch tablet in January.

The FT also suggests that the four times larger screen of an iPhone, it is the “iPod touch HD” envisioned a year ago.

The NY Times says 2010 is the year of the tablet.

Meanwhile, The Google phone (Nexus One) will be unlocked, have lots of embedded Google Apps (like Google Voice), and come with a 1 GHz processor. Or maybe not. Gizmodo briefly tried one out.

Here’s the latest rumor from Engadget:

Android 2.1

512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 4GB microSD in-box expandable to 32GB

5 megapixel camera with mechanical AF and LED flash

HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up — in other words, T-Mobile’s AWS

3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display

1 GHz Processor from Qualcomm (8250)

I’m cheap. I bought a G-1 on Craig’s list a year ago for $200 and use T-Mobile’s prepaid voice service. It works for me. If Nexus One would work on Clear’s unlimited data plan (with voice), well that would be something else. Maybe later, huh.

OLPC concept tablet

OLPC shows off absurdly thin XO-3 concept tablet for 2012

By Paul Miller

posted Dec 22nd 2009 at 3:40PM

Still have a bit of faith left for the OLPC project? Good, you're gonna need it: designer Yves Behar has unveiled his latest concept design for the now-aiming-for-$75 vision, and it's all screen. Keeping with the newfound trend toward tablets, the XO-3 is an 8.5 x 11 touchscreen, coupled with a little folding ring in the corner for grip and a camera in the back. To keep things minimal the plan is to use Palm Pre-style induction charging, and less than a watt of power to keep an "8 gigaherz [sic]" (800MHz?) processor and aPixel Qi screen powered. At half the thickness of an iPhone, this vision is obviously banking heavily on presumed technology advances by 2012 (the projected release date), but it's not too hard to seesomebody making this form factor happen by then-ish. Nick Neg isn't all hubris, however: "Sure, if I were a commercial entity coming to you for investment, and I'd made the projections I had in the past, you wouldn't invest again, but we're not a commercial operation. If we only achieve half of what we're setting out to do, it could have very big consequences."

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality Jumps the Shark

Posted by Sam Churchill on December 21st, 2009

TechCrunch reports that Yelp turned down an offer of half a billion dollars from the search giant. The speculation is that Yelp got another bid or was offered a partnership that made selling the augmented reality company less than necessary.

Augmented reality uses your cameraphone, GPS, and compass to show virtual items in the real world. Put your camera in front of a restaurant and it will show related information, such as finding nearby Twitter users.

Yelp’s augmented reality iPhone app would easily dovetail into Google’s Street View map service. It overlays Yelp information over real-time video iPhone users shoot around them, explains econsultancy.

ReadWriteWeb notes that location-based social network Brightkite announced this morning that it has added what it calls the first mobile Augmented Reality advertising for US markets. It’s added to their Layar augmented reality browser.

Layar is a browser for a wide variety of AR data layers, from real-estate listings to government data to messages posted to networks like Brightkite. It is available for Android phones and was available on the iPhone until it was withdrawn from the marketplace last week due to excessive crashes.

The Brightkite ads appear to be just for electronics retailer BestBuy so far, says ReadWrite. A small radar screen has been added, showing the location of nearby BustBuy stores. The circles join the clearly different annotations for text messages and photos posted by nearby users. The ads are relatively unobtrusive for now.

A new product, Google Goggles hopes to bring Mobile Image Recognition to the mainstream.

The concept is dead simple – a user snaps a photo of an object around them, be it a book, building, text or any other object, and the app will return search results tailored for that object.

Snap a photo of a book you’re interested in, for example, and goggles will return reviews, table of contents, links to purchase the book and anything else residing in Google’s index that might be relevant. Google says it fuzzed out the people recognition feature of the software due to “privacy concerns”.

Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt got some privacy advocates agitated this week with a naïve attitude toward privacy, notes John Dvorak. Schmidt said:

“If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines including Google do retain this information for some time, and it’s important, for example that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act. It is possible that that information could be made available to the authorities.”

Google says it has developed a kind of quantum computer capable of identifying objects that appear in digital photos and videos. According to the company, the system outperforms the classical algorithms running across its current network of worldwide data centers.

Maybe that’s what Eric Schmidt was doing in Utah earlier this month.

Hartmut Neven, Google technical lead manager for image recognition, recently unveiled the company’s ongoing quantum computing work in a post on the company’s research blog. Google spent the past three years working in tandem with D-Wave in Vancouver, Canada, on a quantum system designed to identify images, says The Register. D-Wave develops processors that utilize a quantum algorithm by magnetically coupling superconducting loops called rf-squid flux qubits.

Fuji Soft Humanoid Robot

･Fuji Soft Humanoid Robot

Fuji Soft Inc. has unveiled its first commercial bipedal humanoid robot at the All Japan Robot Tournament (Sumo Wrestling) competition, which it also sponsors. The robots (one of which is called Sakura-chan), will have an official name and price disclosed in early 2010, though the company stated that it will be affordable. It is expected they will target universities and other educational institutes, meaning Aldebaran Robotics’ NAO may have some competition in Japan (with home field advantage no less). Also, one imagines the All Japan Robot Tournament will introduce a new standard class humanoid sumo league to their competitions, which could be quite popular given the often unbalanced nature of ROBO-ONE fights.

Some of the robot’s specifications have been revealed: it runs Linux Ubuntu on an Intel ATOM 1.66GHz CPU integrated with Eclipse and wireless LAN. It stands 39.8cm (15″) tall, weighs 1.56kg (3.5 lbs), and will have 20 degrees of freedom (2 legs x6, 2 arms x3, head x2). An LED array in its visor will display various expressions, which jives well with its overall AIBO-like appearance. As far as sensors, the robot will be capable of image and speech recognition, so it will have at least one camera and microphone. It will be interesting to see how much it costs – I expect it will be priced competitively with Vstone’s Robovie-PC. A video follows after the break.

Morgan Stanley’s Definitive Telecommunications Report

Morgan Stanley’s Definitive Telecommunications Report
Posted by Sam Churchill on December 16th, 2009

Morgan Stanley has created the definitive global telecom study and has placed it on the internet for everyone to study (via Scribd).

“The Mobile Internet Report Key Themes” is a 659-slide presentation that’s data-rich and packed with informative PowerPoint charts and graphs. It’s available at www.ms.com/techresearch

The Mobile Internet Report – Key Themes

Morgan Stanley intends to expand and edit the framework as the market evolves. They say a lot has changed since they published “The Internet Report” in 1995 on the web.

The investment firm presents their thoughts in three ways:

“The Mobile Internet Report Setup” (pdf) – a 92-slide presentation that excerpts highlights of the key themes from the report.

“The Mobile Internet Report Key Themes” (pdf) – a 659-slide presentation that drills down on thoughts covered in “The Mobile Internet Report.”

“The Mobile Internet Report” (pdf) – a 424 page report which explores 8 major themes in depth and includes the two aforementioned slide presentations + related overview text.

Their key take aways:

Material wealth creation / destruction should surpass earlier computing cycles. The mobile Internet cycle, the 5th cycle in 50 years, is just starting.

The mobile Internet is ramping faster than desktop Internet did, and we believe more users may connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years.

Five IP-based products provide the underpinnings for dramatic growth in mobile Internet usage – 3G adoption + social networking + video + VoIP + impressive mobile devices.

Apple + Facebook platforms serving to raise the bar for how users connect / communicate – their respective ramps in user and developer engagement may be unprecedented.

Massive mobile data growth is driving transitions for carriers and equipment providers.

The investment firm says their goal is to get these thoughts and data into the conversation about what may be the biggest technology trend ever, one that may help make us all more informed in ways that are unique to the web circa 2009, and beyond.

While I disagree with some points here and there (for example 700Mhz self-interference and capacity limits may reduce range), and its bullish thrust (with few reservations), it’s hard to quarrel with the price or their dedication to creating an exhaustive, detailed and highly readable research report.

This report is worth thousands of dollars and is available free to everyone. It will keep analysts busy for years. It’s a must read for anyone serious about the telecommunications business.

Verizon $22,000 Phone Bill!! LOL

$22,000 Phone Bill
Posted by Sam Churchill on December 16th, 2009

Ted Estarija said he was expecting his phone bill to be higher month after adding his son to his Verizon Wireless plan. But his 13-year-old son ran up a cell phone bill of $21,917. The Hayward man said his Verizon Wireless bill soared after his son apparently downloaded about 1.4 million kilobytes of data last month.

A million kilobytes is 1 Gigabyte. His plan didn’t cover data usage, so he was charged by the megabyte.

After initial reluctance by Verizon to dismiss the charges, he pursued local media, and the story was picked up nationally. Verizon now says they will credit his account for the entire amount.

He has also suspended his son’s account.

Twitter HiJacked

Twitter HiJacked by “Iranian Cyber Army”
Posted by Sam Churchill on December 18th, 2009

Computer hackers briefly hijacked Twitter.com on Thursday, reports Reuters, redirecting users to a website where a group calling itself “Iranian Cyber Army” claimed responsibility for the disruption.

It was unlikely that the Iranian government itself was involved, experts said.

Twitter was apparently disrupted for about two hours. It replaced the Twitter home page with a headline reading “This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army” and an anti-American message. A screen shot posted in a number of places on the Web, including TechCrunch, shows the message.

Twitter, on its official blog, also said some of its records had been “temporarily compromised” but the problem had been fixed and it would investigate.

Security experts said it was the first time hackers have succeeded in hijacking a major social-networking website, but also added it was unlikely that the attackers gained access to the database that contains user passwords.

Instead, they believe the hackers obtained credentials to change the servers where users are directed when they enter Twitter’s Web address. Privately held Dyn Inc is responsible for maintaining those records. Company officials declined comment.

In June, Twitter became a key form of communication in Iran amid the protests and clampdown that followed the country’s disputed elections. The U.S. State Department urged Twitter to delay maintenance that would have interrupted the site’s service during the peak of the demonstrations.

James Lewis, a cybersecurity effort with the think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the attack may have come from a group supportive of the government.

“This is ham-handed so it’s probably not the Iranian government. It could be sympathizers,” said Lewis, who added that the government would have been more likely to hack Twitter during protests or other upheaval when the site was being used by dissidents.

4th World War

USA, Britain & Denmark "secretly" draft own version of Climate treaty

The USA, Britain and Denmark 'secretly' draft their own version of a Climate treaty.

Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN's negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol.

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.

The document is also being interpreted by developing countries as setting unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.

The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as "the circle of commitment" – but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week.

The agreement, leaked to the Guardian, is a departure from the Kyoto protocol's principle that rich nations, which have emitted the bulk of the CO2, should take on firm and binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, while poorer nations were not compelled to act. The draft hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank; would abandon the Kyoto protocol – the only legally binding treaty that the world has on emissions reductions; and would make any money to help poor countries adapt to climate change dependent on them taking a range of actions.

The document was described last night by one senior diplomat as "a very dangerous document for developing countries. It is a fundamental reworking of the UN balance of obligations. It is to be superimposed without discussion on the talks".

A confidential analysis of the text by developing countries also seen by the Guardian shows deep unease over details of the text. In particular, it is understood to:

• Force developing countries to agree to specific emission cuts and measures that were not part of the original UN agreement;

• Divide poor countries further by creating a new category of developing countries called "the most vulnerable";

• Weaken the UN's role in handling climate finance;

• Not allow poor countries to emit more than 1.44 tonnes of carbon per person by 2050, while allowing rich countries to emit 2.67 tonnes.

Developing countries that have seen the text are understood to be furious that it is being promoted by rich countries without their knowledge and without discussion in the negotiations.

"It is being done in secret. Clearly the intention is to get [Barack] Obama and the leaders of other rich countries to muscle it through when they arrive next week. It effectively is the end of the UN process," said one diplomat, who asked to remain nameless.

Antonio Hill, climate policy adviser for Oxfam International, said: "This is only a draft but it highlights the risk that when the big countries come together, the small ones get hurting. On every count the emission cuts need to be scaled up. It allows too many loopholes and does not suggest anything like the 40% cuts that science is saying is needed."

Hill continued: "It proposes a green fund to be run by a board but the big risk is that it will run by the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility [a partnership of 10 agencies including the World Bank and the UN Environment Programme] and not the UN. That would be a step backwards, and it tries to put constraints on developing countries when none were negotiated in earlier UN climate talks."

The text was intended by Denmark and rich countries to be a working framework, which would be adapted by countries over the next week. It is particularly inflammatory because it sidelines the UN negotiating process and suggests that rich countries are desperate for world leaders to have a text to work from when they arrive next week.

Few numbers or figures are included in the text because these would be filled in later by world leaders. However, it seeks to hold temperature rises to 2C and mentions the sum of $10bn a year to help poor countries adapt to climate change from 2012-15.

Road Radar for Traffic Flow

Posted by Sam Churchill on November 20th, 2009

New York City has acquired radar detection units for some 200 intersections in four different boroughs. It’s part of a NYC Transportation Department traffic coordination program using centralized computer control to improve traffic flow.

The Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor supplied byImaging Sensing Systems, detects and measures roadway traffic.

According to the company Web site, the G4 system is a small roadside pole-mounted radar, operating in the microwave band. It provides per-lane presence as well as volume, occupancy, speed and classification information for up to 12 user-defined detection zones, simultaneously.

A single RTMS can replace multiple inductive loop detectors and the attendant controller and provide enforcement of speed and red-light violations. It operates at high resolution in the 24 GHz band with radio modems offered as built-in option in either 900 MHz or 2400 MHz bands. Wide Area Traffic Event Reporting software provides real-time traffic measurement and data collection over a wide area.

Typically, every 30 to 300 seconds, a message containing the volume, occupancy, average speed and classification by length data in each detection zone is transmitted and/or collected in the sensor memory from the device, which draws less than 5 watts and can be solar-powered.

In other news, the town of Tiburon will be the first community in the Bay Area, and perhaps the country, to line its borders with the license plate reading cameras. Plates will be compared to databases of stolen or wanted cars, with matches triggering an immediate alert to local officers.

The license plate data will be kept for 30 days and then erased. It will not be available to the public. Officers can mine the data only in connection with crimes, according to the local police, and the program will keep a record of exactly what information police exam. The project is expected to cost from $137,000 to $197,000.

Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.2, the forthcoming OS update, will not run on the Intel Atom processor, breaking many netbooks which have been hacked to run as Macs.

This news comes from Stellarola, a hacker who has ported the OS to many netbooks.

On January 14, 2009, the Gadget Lab site of Wired Magazine posted a video tutorial for installing Mac OS X on an MSI Wind netbook, but removed it following a complaint from Apple. Textual instructions remain that include an EULA violation disclaimer.

Miami Beach turns of free wifi

Miami Beach Turns on Free Wi-Fi

Posted by Sam Churchill on November 2nd, 2009

Like a blast from the past, the City of Miami Beach is offering free WiFi throughout the city (maps). Last week, the city began a soft launch by neighborhood, with a 90-day reliability testing period. The official “wire-cutting” was on Friday, October 30 in front of Miami Beach City Hall.

The City of Miami Beach contracted with IBM to install the citywide wireless network. The Wi-Fi launch was supposed to happen around 2007, but the project was delayed as IBM struggled to provide the coverage it agreed to in its contract. It covers 7.1 miles and cost some $5.1 million, under a six-year contract with IBM. IBM is working Alvarion for infrastructure.

General users will have two networks to choose from, including a content-filtered network for children. A third network is for government use.

For public safety and government use, such as laptops in police cars, it also makes the entire city a hot zone for public internet access. The contract provides that at least 95% of the City will have outdoor WiFi coverage and at least 70% of the City will have indoor coverage up through the second floor of a building.

Once you have registered and successfully connected to the City’s WiFi network, you will be redirected to the City of Miami Beach WiFi Landing page. At that point you can create a username and log in to the free WiFi network. This is a free network for all residents, visitors and businesses in the City of Miami Beach.

Smartphones to Outsell standard phones by 2012

Smartphones To Outsell standard phones by 2012

Posted by Sam Churchill on November 3rd, 2009

Market research firm Infonetics Research, in its biannual Mobile/WiFi report has forecast thatsmartphone sales will overtake standard mobile phones by 2012.

“Smartphones are on track to post a 14.5% increase in the number of units sold worldwide in 2009, and a 21% compound annual growth rate from 2008 to 2013, significantly better than other mobile phone segments”, predicts Richard Webb, Infonetics Research’s directing analyst for mobile devices. While smartphone revenue is expected to dip in 2009 mainly due to price erosion and lower-ARPU units coming to market, he expects it to pick up in 2010 and continue growing, easily outstripping the combined revenue of standard mobile phones by 2012.

Infonetics also predicts mobile subscribers will hit 5.9 billion in 2013, driven by China, India, Africa.

According to Infonetics, there were nearly 4 times more mobile subscribers than access line subscribers worldwide in 2008 (3.9 billion vs. 1 billion), and the number of mobile subscribers grew 17.4% in 2008 over 2007, while access line subscribers declined 5.5%.

Apple’s smartphone share rose to 9% in the second quarter of 2009 on the strength of the iPhone 3GS, but the iPhone is sure to face stiff competition from the open-source Android platform, says Infonetics.

Some 1.1 billion mobile phones are forecast to be sold in 2009 worldwide. Smartphones will account for an increasing percentage of total mobile phone revenue, driven in part by accelerating HSPA deployments in North America, Western Europe, and developed Asia Pacific countries, according to the report.

Woman Disabled by THIS YEARS FLU SHOT (10 days AFTER vaccination )

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A few weeks ago, Desiree Jennings was training for a half marathon. Now, she's struggling to walk, talk and even eat.

According to the Loudoun Times-Mirror , Jennings, who has been working with the Washington Redskins as an ambassador in hopes of becoming a cheerleader since April, developed severe and possibly life-threatening side effects from getting a seasonal flu vaccine seven weeks ago at a Safeway in Reston.

Twenty-five-year-old Jennings says she was healthy and active and was not in a high-risk group at the time of her shot.

She says she received the vaccine to earn points for her work health plan that gives perks for each level of wellness that is attained. It was not until ten days after she received the shot that she began to experience flu-like symptoms.

Her physical therapist at Johns Hopkins Hospital say she is suffering from dystonia, a neurological movement disorder where sustained muscle contractions cause body jerks, and abnormal or repetitive movements.

People who suffer from dystonia often are required to re-learn even the most basic routines.

It is a rare disease and is not completely understood.

You realize your life is never going to come back the way it was, Desiree told the Times-Mirror. My goal in life was to one day be a CEO. Now, I dont know if I can ever return back to work.

Borders Joins B&N in free Wi Fi

Borders Joins B&N Offering Free Wi-Fi

Posted by Sam Churchill on October 1st, 2009

Borders, the second-largest bookstore chain in the United States (after Barnes & Noble), said on Tuesday that it will provide free wireless Internet access in about 500 of its U.S. stores.

The company said it is working under a deal with Verizon to equip those stores with Wi-Fi, which it expects will be available by mid-October.

Verizon’s platform will allow Borders to create a splash page that customers first experience when they log on to the free Wi-Fi service, giving Borders the opportunity to feature compelling content such as news of hot titles, special discounts and the opportunity to join Borders Rewards, the retailer’s free customer loyalty program that has 34 million members.

Free Wi-Fi in books stores and coffee shops is becoming the norm.

Barnes & Noble already allows patrons to surf for free, in a deal with AT&T
All U.S. company-operated Starbucks hot spots now support AT&T Wi-Fi service. A $5 or more Starbucks Card, will get you two consecutive hours of complimentary AT&T Wi-Fi daily.
Verizon is partnering with Boingo to deliver free WiFi access. Free Verizon Wi-Fi hot spot locations include hotels, airports, restaurants, coffee shops, retailers, convention centers and public locations across the U.S. Boingo’s network of Wi-Fi hotspots – which includes more than 100,000 locations around the world – IF you’re a Verizon FiOS or DSL broadband subscriber.
Qwest Communications began offering its high-speed Internet customers free unlimited WiFi at McDonald’s, Starbucks and Barnes and Noble bookstores.

Booksellers have had to face a persistent slump in the book industry. Borders has been exiting shrinking categories like music and putting greater focus on helping shoppers pick books.

“It goes back to simple economics: in a competitive situation, price will get forced down to marginal cost – and the marginal cost of letting another person get on your WiFi network is zero,” says Mike Masnick. Glenn Fleishman once famously said; Free Wi-Fi from Starbucks? Ha! Ain’t. Gunna. Happen.
