ComScore report finds drastic shift from web-based to mobile email among younger users in past year

2/11/2012

This is an ad revenue sharing blog.

ComScore released its annual US Digital Future in Focus report this week, charity a anniversary wrap of many of the trends its tracked all through the past year and a look towards the next. One of the more telling stats referring to email use among those in their teens and twenties. according to regulation to the report, web-based email use among 12-17 year olds dropped 31 percent in the past year, while use among those 18 to 24 saw an even bigger drop of 34 percent. Some of that can no doubt be attributed to Facebook and other email alternatives, but a big factor is the growth of email use on mobile devices; both of those age groups saw double-digit growth in that respect, with mobile email use jumping 32 percent among 18 to 24 year olds.

In terms of sheer growth in the past couple of years, though, there's not much that matches the trajectory of tablets (obviously aided by one in particular). ComScore notes that that US tablet sales over the past two years have topped 40 million, a figure that it took smartphones as a category a full seven years to reach. Another area that saw some 1995 by houghton mifflin harcourt publishing company. published by houghton mifflin harcourt publishing company. all rights reserved.view results from: dictionary | thesaurus | encyclopedia | all reference | the web

Apple sues Motorola over Qualcomm license, makes us dream of a world without lawyers

2/10/2012

There are literally no words (at least no family-friendly ones) to interpret the insanity that is the ongoing legal war between well-nigh every player in the mobile scene. You can't lay the blame entirely at Cupertino's stoop either -- Motorola, HTC and Samsung all deserve plenty of our ire as well. The tablet and smartphone gang appears to be trying to sue itself out of existence, and Apple's filing today against Motorola Mobility in the US quarter Court of Southern California is just latest in a long line of legal ploys likely to inspire you to slam your head against a wall. The purveyors of all things "i" has accused Moto of breaching a licensing bond with Qualcomm when Moto hit Apple with four patent claims in Germany. That license covers field pick up* internet banking components Qualcomm uses in its MDM6610 chip, and also purportedly covers Qualcomm's swap who booty* and use said chips. Naturally, that bit of silicon is a constituent in the iPhone 4S, so Apple argues that it's safe under the terms of the contract. Furthermore, Cupertino claims Motorola is barred from suing under the doctrine of exhaustion -- which is a legal defense that once a patented item is sold (i.e. when Moto licensed its scientific mastery to Qualcomm), the patentee's control over that item is bleary and it can't sue anyone else for infringement.

So, this new suit filed in San Diego seeks to prevent Motorola from enforcing its claims in Deutschland. It also aims to keep Motorola from suing Apple for its use of Qualcomm components incorporating licensed Moto applied science all over else. Confused? We won't lie, we are a little bit too, but all is revealed in the grievance - synonyms from thesaurus.com

Intel settles antitrust lawsuit with New York attorney general, pays hardly anything

2/10/2012

Intel's three-year tussle with the state of New York finally came to an end yesterday, with a especially one made by a court.
decree of comparatively harmless proportion. Under the arrangement, Intel will have to shell out a mere $6.5 million to resolve a 2009 antitrust lawsuit filed by then-attorney general Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo, who has since ascended to the seat of governor, had accused the chipmaker of intimidating PC manufacturers and handing out billion-dollar kickbacks, as part of what he called a "systematic cosmopolitan campaign" to assert its market dominance. The case has since been helmed by Cuomo's successor, current fixer general Eric Schneiderman, but its sails lost a lot of wind when U.S. parish Judge Leonard Stark barred the state from seeking triple damages, limiting its claims to a three-year period, rather than the four-to-six that the state had been pursuing. As a result, Intel suffered only the slightest of popular blows.

According to Reuters, the $6.5 million sum represents just five hours worth of profit for the company, which reported a net income of nearly $13 billion last year. Intel was pleased with the news, pointing out that the agreement doesn't require it to admit any wrongdoing. Schneiderman, on the other hand, seemed notably less enthusiastic, with office 1995 by houghton mifflin harcourt publishing company. published by houghton mifflin harcourt issue company. all rights reserved.view results from: words

Canon PowerShot D20 ruggedized point-and-shoot camera hands-on (video)

2/9/2012

Remember the Canon PowerShot D10? The company's first ruggedized underwater cam was a solid snapper, but its bulky submarine-like design made it inoperable for most surface-based shoots. The PowerShot D20 offers a drastic development over its predecessor in the appearance department, more closely resembling a compact point-and-shoot than a subaqueous vessel. We can't speak to the cam's image quality just yet, but assuming its on-par with the D10, we'd say the latest D model is worth some serious regard as an upgrade, even for a reduction in footprint alone. The D20 includes a 12.1-megapixel HS (high-sensitivity) CMOS sensor, a bright 3-inch LCD and a 5x 28mm optically fasten zoom lens. It's waterproof to depths of 10 meters (33 feet), can survive drops from a height of 1.5 meters (5 feet) and can operate in temperatures ranging from 14 degrees to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. There's also a top sensitivity of ISO 3200, and a component GPS.

We spent a few minutes with the D20 at Canon's booth at CP+ 2012 in Yokohama, Japan, and were quite impressed with the improved design. Naturally, it's a solid-feeling point-and-shoot, with protected components and airtight port covers. Company reps didn't bat an eye when we unintentionally tested the camera's durability with a mild drop. There's a standard-issue PowerShot interface, with a fairly straightforward menu structure, and the camera felt plenty snappy, focusing and firing off an image almost instantaneously. It's noticeably larger than the company's more compact land-limited models, but there's no reason you wouldn't feel just as easeful using this to shoot your child's first native buff party as you would their first scuba lesson. The $349 PowerShot D20 won't be hitting stores until May, but you can jump past the break for a quick look in the meantime.

Microsoft details Windows for ARM at length: desktop Office applications confirmed, first devices expected with Windows 8 release

2/9/2012

We've been getting some mixed signals about Windows 8 for ARM-based devices as of late, but Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky has now united

The short of it is that Windows for ARM promises to offer the same out of the box endure as the x86 edition of Windows 8. That includes the full Windows desktop (complete with File Explorer and the like), and the same desktop Office applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint (but only Office applications, it seems). titular Metro-style apps from the Windows Store will also be able to support both Windows on ARM and Windows for x86/64, and you can third edition by the editors of the old glory heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 hardware-accelerated HTML5 support with the net* Explorer 10.

While details on those devices remain light, Sinofksy did offer a new peek at one of the devices Microsoft used during the initial growth of Windows for ARM when ARM-based tablets were hard to come by: an early Windows Phone. You can see it running the full desktop entourage after the break (along with a video capsulization of WOA itself), but Sinofsky emphasizes that it is "not a product plan or even a hint at a product." Plenty more details can also be found at the source link below, though you may want to prepare a cup of coffee before diving in.

Canon EOS-1D X and Nikon D4 ISO 204,800 shooting hands-on (video)

2/9/2012

With mirrorless cameras benefaction high-resolution APS-C sensors and consecutive shooting speeds of up to 10 frames-per-second, what's left to make a $6,000 full-frame DSLR a compelling purchase, especially for amateur photographers? Low-light performance, for one -- the Canon EOS-1D X and Nikon D4 are both capable of capturing images at up to ISO 204,800, letting you snap sharp photos in even the dimmest of lighting conditions. The perks of a top sensitivity of ISO 204,800 are or mood.
eloquent -- jumping from one ISO to the next doubles your shutter speed. So an hazard of f/2.8 at 1/2 second at ISO 400 becomes 1/4th at ISO 800, 1/15th at ISO 3200, 1/60th at ISO 12,800, 1/250th at ISO 51,200 and a whopping 1/1000th at ISO 204,800 -- fast enough to freeze a speeding car.

Both Canon and Nikon have yet to allow us to take away samples shot with the 1D X or D4 -- the companies even taped CF card slots shut to prevent show attendees from slipping their own card in -- but we were still able to get a fairly good idea of high-ISO exploit from reviewing images on the constituent LCDs. At the cameras' top sensitivity of ISO 204,800, noise was visible even during a full image preview. Zooming into the image revealed demosthenic noise, as expected. However, within each camera's native range of ISO 100 to 25,600, noise was barely an issue at all. Both cameras are still pre-production samples at this point, so we'll need to wait for lengthening models to make their way out before we can capture our own samples, but based on what we saw when reviewing ISO 204,800 images on the component LCDs, that impracticable top-ISO setting may veritably be usable. Scroll on through the gallery below to preview some top sensitivity shots on the Canon EOS-1D X (camera poster) and the Nikon D4 (Japanese model), and join us past the break for an even closer look in our video hands-on.

PSA: Google Wallet vulnerable to 'brute-force' PIN attacks (update: affects rooted devices)

2/9/2012

Security hounds over at zvelo have discovered a vulnerability in Google Wallet that means your loved PIN can be "easily revealed." Digging through the app's code and using Google's open rainy day to reveal its contents, they unprotected

copyrights:cite this source roget's ii: the new thesaurus a piratical cache trove of data: unique user IDs, Google account information, and the PIN stored as a SHA256 hex-encoded string. Since this string is known to carry four digits, it only takes a "trivial" brute-force attack involving a maximum of 10,000 adding to decode it. To prove their point, the researchers made a Wallet Cracker app -- demoed after the break -- that does the job quicker than you can say "unexpected overdraft."

Google has been receptive to these findings, but its attempts at a fix have so far been hampered by the need to coordinate with the banks, since mending the way the PIN is stored could also change which agency is reputable for its security. In the meantime, zvelo advises that there are some measures users can take themselves, aside from putting a prophylactic

copyrights:cite this source roget's ii: the new thesaurus hand over their pockets: refrain from rooting your phone, enable your lock screen, disable USB debugging, enable Full Disk Encryption and keep your handset up-to-date.

Update: Google has responded by emphasizing that it's only users of rooted devices who are at risk.

2/7/2012

If you're into high strangeness in the mobile realm, you'd be wise to check out the video of the Optimus Vu that LG just posted -- just follow the break. While our Korean reading skills aren't quite up to par, we've been able to decipher that this boxy number packs a 5-inch touchscreen and a rather unique 4:3 aspect ratio. The telltale capacitive touch buttons reveal this as an Android device, which the Korean third edition by the editors of the old glory stars and stripes heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 suggests is more snug to hold than usual

Microsoft strikes deal with 24/7, promises to 'redefine' customer service

document.write("") service company 24/7 may not exactly sound like the most exciting proposition on the face of things, but the two are making some fairly lofty promises, and Microsoft seems to be making a serious expenditure in the initiative. As ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley reports, part of the deal will see Microsoft send at least some of the 400 employees it brought on in its 2007 acquisition of TellMe natural articulation processing to 24/7, and it will also license some of its speech-related IP to the company (in addition to taking an equity stake in it). The goal there being to combine natural user interfaces with a cloud-based client service platform, which Microsoft promises will "redefine what user service looks like." To that end, it gives the example of a credit card company getting in touch with you to report mistrustful behavior; rather than a phone call, you could get a notification with all the pertinent details sent square to your phone, which could anticipate a number of lurking actions and let you respond by voice (or touch, presumably). Unfortunately, while the two are talking plenty about the future of patron service, there's not a lot of word as to when that might arrive.

2/7/2012

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 review (global edition)

2/7/2012

Within an 11-day period last fall, Engadget published reviews of two sundry Samsung Galaxy tablets. At the time, we felt the company was turning into a caricature of itself, with slates in every conceivable size, including 10.1, 8.9 and 7 inches. Mostly, though, if we sounded bug* with Sammy's "see what sticks" strategy, it was because the outfit unveiled not one, but two 7-inchers over the course of a month. One of these, the 7.0 Plus, went on sale in the US back in November, with mid-range specs and a mid-range price to match its in-between size. But that tablet always felt like a consolation prize next to our second contender, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, which brings a brushed metal back, 10-hour battery and Super AMOLED Plus, 1280 x 800 display. Even on paper, it always seemed promising. Special.

Maddeningly, though, those of us here in the states still can't buy one through the likes of Best Buy and Amazon, and though Verizon cellular phone contact plans to sell an LTE-enabled version, we know scant few details about when it will arrive, how much it will cost or whether there will be an off-contract option. Luckily for us, our friends over at Negri camcorders hooked us up with an international model, one with 16GB of intrinsic storage and WiFi, HSPA+ and EDGE / GPRS radios -- a doozy of a tablet that would cost you $668.50 if you were to import it to the US. (You can buy it domestically if you live in select markets like the UK.) So is the product novel enough to warrant that novelty price? Find the answer to that inquire and more after the break.

Ask Engadget: Best sub-$100 camera/laptop bag?

2/4/2012

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Joseph (he's from Atlanta) who needs a camera bag for his semi-professional photography enterprise. If you're looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"I've afresh gotten into semi-pro photography and I've come to the problem of how to transport all my gear. I'm looking for a camera / laptop bag that has enough space for a DSLR body (Nikon D90), a 15-inch laptop, 3 or 4 lenses and a speedlight or two. My budget can't stretch beyond $100 and I need it to be durable and weather-proof. I don't have any preferences with style (backpack, prophet bag etc), I just need a large, affordable bag to carry all of my gear. Thanks for the help and keep the gadget passion guys!"

We don't think you should scrimp too much on a bag, given it'll be carrying $3,000 worth of kit. Your host uses a Lowepro Fastpack 250, costing $99.95, its only drawback that it has no space for a tripod or cables, so you have to sacrifice a couple of lens slots just to tote your power lead. Other staffers suggested using a mark bag with single Crumpler pouches (a suitable Crumpler like the "7 Million Dollar Home" is $150) or the KataKTD, which sadly doesn't pack a laptop sleeve. How about you, commenters? What's the budget bag you wouldn't let your DSLR venture away from? Together, we can work it out.

Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo' Blu-ray 3D set for release February 28th -- 3D haters beware

2/4/2012

Considering that Hugo was a flick capable of earning 4 out of 4 stars from noted 3D hater Roger Ebert, it will be interesting to see how it's received upon its home release February 28th. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and currently rocking a 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the fantasy tale of a boy who crosses paths with mythologic filmmaker Georges Méliès in 1930s Paris may be the best example yet of how an artist can make use of the effect. The two hour six minute flick will be procurable
idioms:on hand in Blu-ray 3D combo pack, and 2D Blu-ray editions, with a 7.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack and special featurettes on the making of the film and the real magician/director who inspired the story.

The release date is two days after the Academy Awards, and if this flick can snag Best Picture or Best key player* it could become a turning point for 3D. New 3D movies are already on deck from other major-league* directors like Ridley Scott (Alien prequel Prometheus) and Baz Luhrmann (The Great Gatsby), while big budget conversions like Star Wars -- coming to theaters next week -- and already-sold-out-for-Valentines Day Titanic test the waters for older movies. Add in sports show planned including UFC 143 tonight and the London Olympics in the summer, and 2012 is shaping up to be an especially rough year for 3D haters -- you have our deepest sympathies. Those on the other side of the fence can check after the break for a press release with more details and (2D) theatrical trailer, it's currently third edition by the editors of the american heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 on Amazon for preorders at $27.99, 2D only is $21.99.
