Let's take a look at a few and see what we think: - Double Desktop = Cognitive Overhead and Added Memory Load. Users have to remember where to go for certain features - Lack of Multiple Windows = Memory Overload for Complex Tasks the main UI restricts users to a single window, so the product ought to be renamed "Microsoft Window." - Flat Style Reduces Discoverability Where can you click? Everything looks flat, and in fact "Change PC settings" looks more like the label for the icon group than a clickable command.

I believe Amazon did this because a bunch of people would pay just $8, and get free shipping during the holiday season. Amazon would lose a bunch of money, in one of the greatest seasons for retail.

Gamestop says that it's taken 1.2M preorders for WiiU games and 500,000 consoles, working out to 2.4 games for each console. The 1.2M number is more than double the game preorders for the Wii, and the difference is likely due to increased third party support from the console. They have big fall titles like Assassin’s Creed 3 and Black Ops 2 on deck, but also original offerings like Ubisoft’s ZombiU	http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2012/11/16/wiiu-game-preorders-double-those-of-the-wii/

43		Google to devs: Fragmenting Android is AGAINST THE RULES	http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/15/android_sdk_fragmentation_license_change/
44		- Google modified its Android SDK this week, first significant addition since the previous update in 2009. Adds an anti-fragmentation clause: - Section 3.4 of Google's new terms: "You agree that you will not take any actions that may cause or result in the fragmentation of Android, including but not limited to distributing, participating in the creation of, or promoting in any way a software development kit derived from the SDK." - The Register tried to make sense of the new rule and looked at the case of an Acer-built handset which ran Alibaba's Alyun software which wasn't fully compatible w/Android, but used Android runtime, frameworks and dev tools. Q: Can you tell what this section is for? Developers don't seem to be for fragmentation - is the Register reading this right?

75		As a licensed charter party carrier in California let me provide a perspective on why PUC is against Uber, Lyft and Sidecar. The short of it is, if a company's main business is arrange transportation of people for pay (but not taxi), they are a charter party carrier and thus subject to PUC regulations. Uber acts as a dispatch service, but the individual vehicles appear to be privately owned and operated. and individually licensed. PUC is slightly outdated as it does not recognize a pure-dispatch service such as Uber, i.e. So it just needs to create a new permit category: the fleet-less carrier that subcharters EVERYTHING. Lyft and Sidecar, on the other hand, are in much deeper trouble, as they engage common NON-COMMERCIAL drivers to perform commercial activity, i.e. carry people for pay, without that person owning a commercial driver's license... PUC is unlikely to allow Lyft or Sidecar to survive, for the very simple reason that pay for ride is under their jurisdiction. They can't allow non-commercial driver to do commercial driver's jobs: carry people (or goods) for money. - K.	<-- Edited, full email in comment

77		Hi folks, Interesting discussion in episode #629 regarding the possible sale of AMD. The one company you didn't list was... Google! Owning the processor would help their massive data center farm (where Google is known for designing their own servers), giving them a leg up on the Amazons of the world. Also, owning a processor / graphics company could give them an edge in the smart phone business, where they could design-in magic stuff that would make Android work better, something I expect Apple is already doing with IOS and their own processor line. Just a thought, Greg.

What Sinfosky said: - He denies initiating any discussions to bring together WP and Dev Division and said no one approached him to manage them as a part of Win 7 or 8 - Sinofsky says that the current state of organization is a "practical working model" and he was for collaboration within the organization rather than disrupting it "unless it is on a product cycle boundary and far better to plan and execute together…"	Q: The murmurs say power struggle, Sinofsky denies it and even publicly commented.

74		Hi Guys, Following on from your discussion about Facebook charging to deliver brand posts to users timeline, the big issue here is that they are double dipping. In the past couple of months I spent around $800 on Facebook ads to gain about 2700 new likes on one of my pages. I now have to pay again to get those followers to see my posts. This is unfair. If I buy ads that lead to likes then those likes should automatically get my posts because I've already paid. If the likes are organic then fair enough paying to reach them. It's one or the other but not both. Love the show! Cheers Steve Baile (Australia)

76		There was a recent story about MS working on a voice language translator and then a question about who would really need this? While watching a foreign YouTube video this morning, it struck me. Video services, movies, and tv could all use the tech to automatically translate or dub video or audio. Especially since I think the article said that the process tries to emulate the speakers voice. Thanks and love the show, brian

The company revised its forecast for next earnings as well. - mark cuban says the Mavs & other investment co. are moving off FB. he told readwrite: "The big negative for Facebook is that we will no longer push for likes or subscribers because we can't reach them all. Why would we invest in extending our Facebook audience size if we have to pay to reach them? That's crazy. says tumblr, new myspace, instagram, twitter are more attractive. "The right price is to charge an upfront fee for brands. In the current system there is complete uncertainty on the cost.

76		Regarding Yahoo Mail trying to be like Gmail. This may be good, however one of the biggest problems Yahoo faces (that Google has licked) is spam. Google's pretty good with dealing with spam messages, most if mine go to Spam folder, when two or three slip through to my Inbox. One bad thing [about Gmail is] is you may have multiple folders/labels, but only one actual message ever, so i have to constantly have to "think" before deleting a message from Sent Items or Air-mail folder, knowing that it will be deleted from all folders. With Yahoo (or any other service) your mail is safe if deleted from one folder. However, Yahoo needs to do a spring clean in spam before they start improving the GUI, or anything else. This is a top priority, and locking down their system with 2-factor authentication. Jared

78		While the caller mentioned that rewards programs could be better utilized if you could program them with Google Wallet, the idea of how these programs work is wrong. The reason these programs exist is because the merchant accepting the card is actually paying more to accept the card. In the background, rewards cards go through a higher interchange rate than a standard credit card. On top of that, most processing ISOs set up their merchants so that rewards cards fall in to some of the most expensive rate categories, making more money for the ISO. They do this because they can. That may sound dismissive, but that's the reality of the credit card processing world. Unless you're with the extreme minority of honest ISOs, you are being screwed on your rates. - Stephen H.

Apple has no choice but to accept to keep up with demand - A6 mobile processors are custom designed by Apple but built by Samsung. apple getting RAM and flash storage from other companies but Samsung is tops in prod. volume.	WHY? the verge says maybe significant $4B investment Samsung made in retooling its plant in Austin, Texas, the very same that builds Apple's processors led to need for $$? or writing on the wall that AAPL can eventually move away from Samsung, so squeeze on price now?

40		- YouTube is funding a new round of its channels - YT will give a second round of funding to 30%-40% of its original partners. That means a cut at least 60% - Those channel makers getting additional funding will be notified in the next few weeks according to AdAge - Channels that don't get new deals will still be on YouTube (not kicked off) Jamie Byrne, YouTube’s director of content strategy, says the site is most concerned about engagement — primarily the total “watch time” a channel has generated — and cost — how efficient programmers have been with their programming budget. Q: Should YouTube be reinvesting in its original partners or is a cut like this (kind of like TV) the way to go for content?

State sponsored intranet in NK called Kwangmyong, restricted to elites in NK with good social standing. The intranet has message boards, chat, and state sponsored media; encouraged among university students, technical experts and scientists. - daily state-sponsored texts come in via phones. Intranet activity on discussion boards, closely monitored by NK state security department. network can be shut down by the state. - 1M phones- state will have to choose which calls to monitor, probably focusing on foreigners and senior government and military officials. calling remote areas of the country allows info to flow in news ways. IT in order to acquire scientific information from abroad to support development in North Korea is ok, state-screened of course.	WHY? some IT tools will increase foreign investment in NK, help economy be more efficient. Cell phones and the intranet will help communication b/t Pyongyang and remote parts of NK. limited use of cell phones will encourage investment from China and overseas. lack of cell phones a huge challenge for investors dealing with North Korea.

81		Gang, I am an old timer. During the Vietnam war, I was in the military involved in things that necessitated that I have a top secret crypto clearance. It was drummed into us over and over again that the intelligence gathering "capabilities" that we were privy to, were in most cases more valuable than the actual information gathered. To say it another way, the source is to be protected at all costs. Flash to the present. The methodology and techniques uses by the SEALS if compromised could jeopardize many missions downstream from the leak. So did the SEAL team know that they should have kept their mouths shut? Based on my experience, unequivocally yes. Are the reprimands docked pay justified? Absolutely. Keep up the excellent programming.

It just cost at least 7 Navy Seals their military careers. 7 Members of Team Six, one of which is reported to be Matt Bissonnette who took part in the bin Laden raid, have been disciplined for misuse of command gear and disclosure of classified material, in connection with two days of paid consultation with EA. The sailors lose 1/2 pay for two months and receive punitive letter of reprimand, which most agree will prevent any possibility of future promotion.	http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/11/08/navy-seals-punished/1693453/

Officials now say that it will use Interpol’s "worst of" child abuse site list as a way to shield Ozzies from the Internet's worst content. The push for a filtering program had largely been promoted by Family First, a conservative party Down Under, but had critics. In 2010, Google told Australia its program had gone too far.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/11/australia-comes-to-its-senses-abandons-national-internet-filtering-regime/

One result featured the Kindle Fire (not HD) - Sullivan was annoyed that when Google made the switch to paid listings that Google said "this is about delivering the best answers for people searching for products…" Q: Is Google ever going to get the shopping element right for consumers or are they just happy making money from the vendors? They've been trying (Froogle/Google Products/Google Product Search days) without real success since 2002.

50		AT&T's flip-flop on FaceTime over cellular should scare you	http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/8/3619058/att-facetime-flip-flop-fcc
51		- AT&T announced yesterday any customer "with an LTE device" on a "tiered data plan" can use iOS 6's FaceTime over Cellular feature, no extra charge. Previously, only customers with Mobile Share plan could use FT. says feature will roll out over 8-10 weeks. - AT&T is also making FaceTime over Cellular available to deaf and hard of hearing customers who qualify for special text and data-only packages. - only affects iPhone 5 and iPad with LTE customers with tiered, though not unlimited, data plans. - Jim Cicconi, AT&T's head of External and Legislative Affairs, wrote a blog post about the change. says there was no way for ATT engineers to model usage and network impact so decided to hold off on feature until they knew they could handle it	VERGE SAYS NOT SO FAST- organizations like Public Knowledge and Free Press pushed legal action to get block removed, that's why ATT caved. - a co. like ATT is only licensing spectrum. if you don't use spectrum you license fully for the good of the citizens, that's a violation of spectrum agreement. but FCC doesn't police this enough, so companies "convince" consumers they're doing the right thing - why doesn't FCC intervene more? doesn't have access to internal ATT data. access would take months (if not years) of filings, proceedings, and legal stuff. - john bergmayer of Public Knowledge tells verge: "If it turns out they don't make it available to truly everyone, we still plan to file a complaint. The violation is ongoing until the feature is made available to every plan, including unlimited plans,"

77		Hey gang, just finished listening to yesterday's show (episode 625) and wanted to share my experience with Waze advertising. I love Dunkin Donuts and am fortunate to have one near my house, but not exactly on my morning route. To keep Waze from freaking out about me going the wrong way for the first mile of my commute, I added a "favorite" location for my nearest DD so I could use Waze's waypoint feature for a combo route. Now, anywhere I go, anytime I get close to a DD (brick and mortar or C-store kiosk) there magically appears a DD logo pin. It may not matter for my daily commute, but when I go out of town to visit family, it will be hugely helpful to have those pins on the map so I can start my morning off on the right foot. Not sure if DD is a partner with Waze or if it simply knows from my favorites that I prefer DD, but I have yet to be "bothered" by pins for other coffee shops like Starbucks. So, for now, my map is not overrun by unwanted ads and unrequested info. In my book, that's a win...for now. Love the show! Have a great weekend! Thanks, A Thomas Price	Dunkin Donuts is one of the launch partners of Waze Ads

12	tm	The reign of the iPhone is over, at least for a quarter. Strategy Analytics released their market share smartphone market share report for Q3 2012 and the Samsung Galaxy S III grabbed 10.7% of the world market compared to the iPhone 4S's 9.7%. Apple fans can comfortably claim that the iPhone 5 only came out for the last nine days of the quarter and they should be back on top in Q4. Android fans can point out the iPhone fell from 5th to 6th place in China, shout "we're number one" and wave foam fingers.	http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/11/08/samsungs-galaxy-s-iii-overtakes-the-iphone-4s-as-the-worlds-best-selling-smartphone-in-q3-2012/

14	sl	Only 89.33% of internet searches in the UK were conducted on Google sites last month, according to Experian Hitwise. Seems like a lot, why the long face? Well, it's the first time in the last 5 years that Google search market share in the UK has ever dipped below 90%. Microsoft’s Bing chipped away at the total with 4.71% of all searches, which was a 2012 high, probably related to Windows 8 adoption. Yahoo sites and Ask sites, along with other search engines, grew share in October.	http://searchengineland.com/study-google-search-share-slips-below-90-in-the-uk-in-october-139051

16	ia	the reign of bad rim news is over! Good news for, RIM! Yeah, seriously! RIM announced that its upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS has received US government certification already. This is the first time RIM's gotten approval before a launch and that also means that government agencies can issue and use BlackBerry 10 devices when they finally launch.	http://thenextweb.com/ca/2012/11/08/blackberry-10-gets-us-government-certification-first-time-rim-products-approved-ahead-of-launch/
17	tm	Unofficially I'd guess Digitimes has about a 50% accuracy rate but here goes. Digitimes reports FoxConn, which has plants in China and Brazil, plans to move into more developing nations by opening a plant in Detroit. Also LA but that didn't fit into the joke. UNless it were int he inland Empire. Anyway the report is attributed to "market watchers" which are right up there with trainspotters and birders I expoect.	http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20121108PD204.html
18	sl	Winos, it is our time. Amazon launched Amazon Wine today, a marketplace for more than a thousand wines from around the U.S. Customers order directly from a winery via Amazon and are able to ship up to six bottles for $9.99. No free shipping for Primers, though, and each winery operates under its own permits and determines which states it can ship to, and the participating states are limited for now. Both the purchaser and recipient of wine must be at least 21 years old, and all shipments require an adult signature at delivery. Purchases can't be sent to P.O. boxes or Amazon Lockers.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57546927-93/amazon-uncorks-wine-service-delivers-to-your-door/
19	ia	That Square train keeps on rolling. Square's mobile payment solution is now accepted at about 7,000 Starbucks locations. The partnership that I call "SquareBucks" was announced back in August. But be warned Starbucks fans, if you use the Square app to pay, you're not going to get Starbucks rewards - you'd have to use the Starbucks app for that.	http://allthingsd.com/20121107/7000-starbucks-locations-added-to-the-square-wallet/
20	tm	Facebook has expanded into feature phone heavy markest like Africa by partnering with carriers to provide their service for free as an enticement to spend on other services. Gooogle's not shy about ripping off that idea, launching Free Zone in the Phillipines. The new service will allow customers of Globe Telecom to get Gmail, Google + and Google Search without incurring data charges.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57546899-93/google-free-zone-aims-at-connecting-developing-countries/
21	sl	Fox had called for a preliminary injunction ahead of a copyright ruling on Dish Network's Autohop, a service allowing viewers to automatically skip advertisements on recorded shows, and a judge has rejected it. Fox, Comcast, NBC and CBS have each sued Dish Networks, saying the show recordings are unauthorised, and Fox says it would appeal the latest ruling, and that Autohop is "destroying the fundamental underpinnings of the broadcast television ecosystem". Dish called it a "victory for common sense".	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20251723
22	tm	Twitter sent another round of emails resetting passwords for users they suspect "may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter." British comedian David Mitchell got the email but said the only thing he noticed was one deleted post. And sadly TechCrunch's story "Make $250 A Day From Home" appears to be a result of the hack and not a legitimate way to rack up over $91,250 a year.	http://www.zdnet.com/twitter-user-passwords-reset-after-accounts-breached-7000007108/
23	ia	I'm on the financial beat today apparently - MasterCard is rolling out a new credit card that has an LCD display and a keypad built into the card. It's a move for security as it pretty much combines the card with an authentication token. MasterCard says the card, called "Display Card," looks and works like the old school card. It'll first be available in Singapore and Europe.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57546761-1/mastercard-rolls-out-credit-card-with-display-and-keypad/

Q: This is the first big move for Zeebox since Comcast took a stake it. Does this new feature make anyone want to use the app more? Less?

77		Father Robert asked the question... why does Google want Google Maps on iOS? And you all came up with reasons... but not imho... the biggest reason. Google wants the DATA it gets from the 100+ million users on iOS back. Google main business is selling targeted adds based on info it gets from people using its services... people often lose sight of this. when Apple dropped Google maps on iOS Google lost the location/search data for 100+ million users. What's ironic is that you seemed to miss that this is actually the reason why Apple's new really maps suck... because unlike Google, they don't have a rich and diverse source of data from their other services and partners to feed their new Apple Map service like Google does. This was a huge miscalculation by Apple. love your show! Terrence, Kanata, Ontario, Canada.

81		Hi Guys - love the show mailing you from Cape Town South Africa Heard you guys wondering why Skype in China is an issue and Microsoft is not using it there. The reason is that Skype uses a proprietary encryption method that the Chinese government can not open up and inspect. They therefore only allow things like chat and video conferencing that are compliant and use open protocols. So apps like Vidyo is allowed by not Skype. This way they can big-brother the conversation if they want to. Regards Etienne Liebetrau

Twitter creative lead Doug Bowman posted "RIP Fail Whale" we assume because of the lack of any significant outage or server problems for Twitter under the surge of election posts.

80		Hi guys, thought I'd jump in on this: Companies like Apple et al are not so fond of releasing model by model sales figures as this data is usually considered 'commercially sensitive'. If you are a competitor planning to build 2 million devices before launching your product, it is terribly useful (from a supply chain management perspective, at least) to know that white tablets sell better than black ones and the 64GB storage capacity model has a comparatively small, but dedicated (read: wealthy), following compared to other storage variants. Oops, did I just give away the secret sauce!? Anyway - the exact breakdown is pretty useful to competitors. Apple probably sees the iPad as one product with 24 size/storage/colour/radio variants (not including the iPad 2) and not as an iPad and an iPad Mini.

78		Hello TNT folks, I was listening to your Friday episode where you were discussing the Google Wallet feature of a physical card and I was struck by how this sounds EXACTLY like PayPal's Debit MasterCard or their new "PayPal Purchase in store" program. First this Debit MasterCard is connected to your PayPal account, and you can choose to either have purchases come out of your PayPal balance, or you can connect a checking (or a credit card) account to it. There is also the option of setting a PIN so you can get your PayPal balance out as cash at an ATM, OR using the card as a debit card and choosing "Cash Back" on the pin pad. The second, and newer way, to pay with PayPal in person is this "Purchase in store" program. At select stores on the payment pad at the register you will tap "PayPal" and enter your mobile number and a PIN. Just like the MasterCard you choose which place the money comes from. The only way I can see that Google Wallet is different is it allows you to change the payment source via a mobile app… I'm not sure if PayPal's mobile app allows this, but the mobile website does.

80		On the Friday show Tom commented that the reason the Nexus 4 didn't have LTE was because it was a Mid range phone. My belief the main reason Google chose not to include LTE in the Nexus 4 was to ensure it could remain unlocked and thereby be maintained by Google. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus seemed to be the catalyst for this decision. Sprint and Verizon Gnex owners had to wait 4 to 5 months to see the jellybean update while their GSM counterparts received them the week it was released. What differentiates a Nexus device from every other Android device is the Support and Maintenance directly from Google. Since there is no way to sell a unlocked CDMA device Google can't provide the product support a nexus device demands. Also if the CDMA problem was magically solved Google would still have to design 3 separate devices (one for each carrier with no carrier support or advertising) or one device with 10 radios. The Nexus 4 is actually the Optimus G unlocked with a pure unskinned version of 4.2 jellybean with a different body. The specs are exactly the same as the AT&T version which is LGs flagship device. Sorry for the rambling email but just wanted to ensure you knew the back story of the last time Google released a LTE Nexus. - Eddie

12	tm	The Wall Street Journal now reports that its sources say Microsoft is testing a smartphone of its own with Asian suppliers. The phone has a screen between four and five inches, but the sources are not certain whether it would be brought into mass production or not.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57544163-94/microsoft-testing-its-own-smartphone-with-suppliers-wsj/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title
13	sl	The iPad mini officially went on sale today, and there were crowds! Sort of. Reuters was monitoring lines across the world this morning, including Tokyo and Seoul Apple Stores with crowds of 100 or more, but overall, it seems crowds are smaller than they have been in the past for other launches. Does this mean the beginning of the end for Apple? Let's see how the opening weekend numbers look. Analysts are predicting 1-1.5M.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/02/apples-ipad-mini-launch-draws-smaller-crowds-than-previous-product-debuts/

15	ia	Apple has published an apology to Samsung in the Guardian this morning. In an advertisement that could easily be missed, the text says that the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled Samsung does not infringe on Apple's design. There isn't an actual "We're sorry" or anything, but at least it's in 14-point font in accordance with the ruling.	http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/11/02/apples-reformed-apology-to-samsung-makes-an-appearance-in-uk-newspapers/
16	dk	Facebook's testing out a new service that gives you free Wi-Fi if you check-in on Facebook. Right now, the service is live in a few business but Facebook hasn't named names. If you're not on Facebook or just don't want to check-in, you'll still have the option to sign in to the business's Wi-Fi using a passcode.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57544135-93/facebook-tests-free-wi-fi-hot-spots-in-exchange-for-check-ins/
17	tm	Judge John Lee in Illinois Federal Court ruled that Kywan Fisher owes Flava Works $1.5 million for sharing 10 movies over the Internet using the BitTorrent protocol. Fisher legally purchased the ten movies, which contained an encryption code that identified the copies as his. Damages of $150,000 per movie were assessed. Fisher did not appear in court to mount a defense.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57544158-93/illegal-file-sharer-gets-slapped-with-$1.5-million-in-damages/
18	sl	iPhone, or iFone? In Mexico, looks like the latter. Apple has lost an injunction bid in a Mexico City court that would have allowed it to continue selling iPhone branded hardware in Mexico, after a Mexican company pointed out that it registered its name 4 years before Apple did. .The decision stems from a legal action that Apple initially filed in 2009 requesting that the company cease using the iFone brand in order to not confuse the Apple consumer.	http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/11/01/mexican.ifone.registered.trade.name.four.years.before.apple/
19	ia	Russia's new internet-filtering bill goes into effect today. It was passed back in July under the guise of protecting children from pedophiles. However, the bill also gives authorities a way to censor political speech and spy on the entire nation if it wants to with deep packet inspection.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/2/3589354/russia-internet-filtering-law-surveillance
20	dk	Samsung announced it sold, not shipped, 3 million Galaxy Note 2 since the device launched in September in Korea. The Note 2 didn't reach the UK until October 1 and just recently came to North America. The oversized smartphone or undersized tablet, has no real competitors in its niche.	http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-sells-3-million-galaxy-note-2-tabletsmartphone-hybrids/
21	tm	The smartphone operating system market continued its consolidation into a two-company race, and some may see it as a virtual monopoly. IDC issued their Q3 market share numbers, estimating Android holds 75% of the market up from 57.3% in Q3 2011. Apple's iOS increased its market share to 14.9% up from 13.8%. The only other gainer was Windows, up to 2% from 1.2. BlackBerry still holds the number 3 position with 4.3% down from 9.5.	http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/11/01/android-grabs-75-0-market-share-in-q3-followed-by-14-9-for-ios-and-4-3-for-blackberry/
22	sl	A security hole allowing anyone to see the email addresses corresponding to certain Facebook accounts has been discovered! It gets better...some appear to be accessible without even entering a password. But don't worry! a Facebook engineer now says that the company has disabled the feature that created the hole. The vulnerability started getting attention with a Hacker News submission that points to a Google search for the query “inurl:bcode=[]+n_m=[] site:facebook.com.” which was linked to potentially 1.35 million personal Facebook accounts, and their corresponding email addresses embedded in the actual URL.	http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2012/11/02/facebook-security-hole/

29		WSJ reports Microsoft testing a phone with Asian suppliers (people familiar with the situation) - screen between 4 and 5 inches - suppliers not sure if meant for mass production - Stephen Elop said last week he would welcome a MS phone because it would stimulate the market - Ballmer: " 'Right now we are working real hard on the Surface.

No problem. Still can enter a pw provided by the business - The idea comes from a Facebook hackathon session. Q: Sounds like a win-win, FB gets data, you get free WiFi; what is the a downside to this? Do you think this will become graduate out of testing to be a FB product?

48		Richard Stallman founder of FSF and GNU has an opinion piece at Wired - It's not about software it's about practices. If the practices are executed using software we refer to them as 'software patents' thought they could be implemented in hardware - Posits that substantive changes will be worked around, and eliminating software patents would likely be found unconstitutional - Suggests: "developing, distributing, or running a program on generally used computing hardware does not constitute patent infringement. " - Metaphor is surgery. performing surgery isn't a patent violation, even if the devices and techniques employed in the operation are found to infringe. - Would this work?

72		Sorry guys, but I'm just getting caught up on your shows. Earlier in the week when you were listing the usual tech specs for the Nexus 4, there was hardly a peep about it not having LTE. So, here's a big peep! How can the Google flagship phone not have LTE at this juncture? What do you suppose they were thinking, or not thinking? Regards, Bill Dahm	Hi TNT crew, This is Chris from Pittsburgh, writing in about the LG nexus 4. Many initial impressions of the nexus 4 leave people surprised that there is no microSD slot and only 8/16GB storage options. However, large amounts of storage are not needed as Google allows you to store up to 20,000 songs and provides unlimited cloud photo storage. This leaves the remaining storage for apps and the OS. My question is, how much data will one use constantly streaming my music/photos/videos form Google’s servers? This seems like a bold move in the face of current carrier data caps. Just my two cents! Thanks for the great show, Chris

74		Hi TNT, Hey I love the show. I wanted to talk about Wi-Fi sharing in times of emergencies. I live in New York City where on the East Coast up to 8 million people still don't have power. For anyone who's watching the show in the effected area please consider sharing your Wifi to allow your neighbors to get access to information to find out about transit, food resources, whether drinking water is safe, and to just tell their families they're okay. I wanted to open this issue up to wider discussion as many proposed laws would require you lock your internet access and thus could cause major problems for individuals in times of emergency. An allowance for unlocking during emergency may not be sufficient as thousands of homes are abandoned and many aren't sophisticated enough to properly manage these issues during times of emergency. For anyone who hears this and knows how please consider passing the word along. Information can save lives and many are at risk now. Just the other day, via twitter, we found someone with a generator to power a ventilator assistance device for a man who couldn't leave his home, 3 hours left on his battery. It matters. From someone else's wifi, Steven	https://openwireless.org/

12	tm	Kim Dotcom is back in business. While the enterpreneur is still facing extradition from New Zealand to the US on charges relating to copyright theft, he'll be launching Mega. The file-sharing site will use encryption to hide the contents of files uploaded and be hosted outside the US with a Gabon domain name. The site is supposed to launch January 20. A year after Dotcom was arrested.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20165657
13	sl	A UK court of appeal doesn't think Apple apologized enough in its statement that Samsung did not copy its design, and calls it non-compliant. Apple has been told to correct its statement, re-post it on the front page of its website, with at least an 11-point font, within 48 hours. Apple has said that it would take at least two weeks to get a fresh rework together, but no matter when it goes up, it must remain on Apple's site until December 14th.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/apple-told-to-rewrite-samsung-did-not-copy-statement-post-it/
14	ia	I'm going to do an impression of iFixit. "Look, a technology thing! Tear it apart!" The iFixit folks took apart the iPad mini and it looks like Apple used design cues from the iPod touch and the iPhone 5 even inside the machine. iFixit found that while there was no traces of a unicorn, there were dual speakers in the mini and the display was made by frequent legal dance partner, Samsung.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/1/3584888/ipad-mini-teardown-ifixit
15	tm	The four largest US mobile phone service providers have turned on a join database of IMEI numbers specific to hardware. The idea is that a stolen phone would not be able to avoid detection by switching SIM cards or carriers. The hope is that stolen cell phones will become useless, removing the motivation for stealing them.	http://www.zdnet.com/all-four-major-us-wireless-carriers-enable-stolen-cellphone-database-7000006760/
16	sl	Amazon getting into the Android app game! The company released a new photo-management app called Cloud Drive Photos for Android phones and tablets that stores files in Cloud Drive, Amazon's competitor to Google Drive and Dropbox. Cloud Drive offers 5 GB of storage for free, or $10/year for an additional 20 GB. Cloud Drive is already integrated with the Kindle Fire HD, so this seems like a nice next step.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/01/amazon-launches-cloud-drive-photos-for-android-a-photo-sharing-app-for-android-phones-tablets/
17	ia	Today we're going to salute Patrick Stein. Why? Because he figured out a way to make his own Fusion Drive in his Mac Pro using Disk utility in Terminal after rummaging through an Apple support document. Stein put together an SSD and a traditional hard drive so his Mac saw it as one big volume. Then frequently used data was shuttled to the SSD and infrequently used data was moved to the slower drive. The effect? A homemade Fusion Drive that should use the same technology Apple uses.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/mac-pro-owner-crafts-an-example-fusion-drive/
18	tm	Uber has reinstated a controversial 'surge pricing' scheme in NYC. It doesn't relate to storm surges but price surges. Surge pricing allows drivers to set higher rates, motivating them to bring their cars on the streets at times when they might not otherwise. It has been used previously on nights like New Year's Eve. Uber says they will not take any of the increased revenue, which will instead go to the drivers.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/01/uber-tripled-number-of-drivers-yesterday-owing-an-extra-100k-in-payments-so-surge-pricing-is-coming-back/
19	sl	Microsoft has released ‘Windows Phone’ for OSX. The software, previously known as ‘Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac’, has undergone has a new look to go with its new name, with numerous new features. Features include support for Windows Phone 8, Drag and drop support for files between Windows Phone and your Mac desktop, Drag and drop files from Finder to your Windows Phone 8 devices, and more!	http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-releases-30-windows-phone-sync-app-osx
20	tm	Google took another step towards tying its various services tightly together. Google Drive files can now be viewed from Google+ and shared directly. Users can share links to fikles like PDFs, videos, and photos and contacts will click a thumbnail within Google+ and open the file in a separate browser window.	http://www.slashgear.com/google-drive-introduces-direct-sharing-and-embedding-to-google-01255190/
21	ia	Hotmail isn't so hot any more says ComScore. Gmail is now the top e-mail service with 287.9 million unique worldwide visitors in October. Hotmail dropped to number two with 286.2 million uniques. And at number three, Yahoo with 281.7 million.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57543177-93/gmail-edges-hotmail-as-worlds-top-e-mail-service/

29		New Mega - Kim Dotcom's announced his plan for Me.ga, launching Jan 20th 2013 - Announcing the new site on Twitter, Mr Dotcom said the holding page -hosted at Me.ga - was already getting "millions" of hits. - He said many of the visits were from US authorities themselves, tweeting: "All FBI agents pressing reload hahaha... We see their IP addresses. LOL!!!" Mega Plan - How Mega is supposed to work: The new Mega encrypts and decrypts your data transparently in your browser, on the fly. You hold the keys to what you store in the cloud, not us." - The new Mega will operate from the Gabonese domain Me.Ga. With just 98,800 Internet users in a population of 1.6 million, - In addition to avoiding domain names that are under control of the U.S., Dotcom also notes that the new Mega won’t partner with American hosting providers. Q: Can a relaunched site like Me.ga ever gain a huge following when its leader has a target on his back?

45		Fusion drive on older Macs? YES! [source]	http://jollyjinx.tumblr.com/post/34638496292/fusion-drive-on-older-macs-yes-since-apple-has
46		- Developer Patrick Stein has used command line code to build his own sort-of Fusion Drive on his Mac Pro - When Apple announced its new Fusion Drive it noted that OS X Mountain Lion would be able to operate the system without the need to update. - Fusion Drives are recognized in Mac systems as single volumes. Stein the developer used Core Storage, the OS X feature that links two separate storage units into one volume group, to join the SDD and HDD. Patrick Stein: "Btw.: I will actually not use Fusion drive on a Mac as HFS+ is not really keeping my data safe (see my HFS+ fails miserably demo). Using two HFS+ disks concatenated just increases the risk of data failure."	Fusion Drive vs. Intel Smart Responsive Technology (SRT) - Intel's SRT works at the OS level and caches/copies files (or mirrors data, if you will), whereas Fusion Drive actually moves/relocates the data and is basically an automatic, tiered storage solution. Q: Does anyone think Apple will create an easy to use utility to put this together on older Macs and is anyone going to try this on their Mac?

78		Hey Sarah, Tom and Iyaz...this is Keith from Atlanta with a quick comment about the new Boxee Box. It's not surprising to me that the folks at Boxee have chosen Walmart to exclusively carry their new box. I see it as another decision to market towards the mainstream consumer and not the HTPC crowd. Fifteen dollars a month is quite steep for the ability to record free TV and I believe only a mainstream market will be willing to commit to such pricing. While it's disappointing Boxee is not developing for roll-your-own buffs it's perfectly understandable and is necessary for them to become more and more profitable. That said I do wonder how long regular consumers will be willing to pay close to two hundred dollars yearly for the new service. Keith in Atlanta (aka thegriff)	Boxee is offering a few early adopter perks: anyone who purchases Boxee TV during the "holiday season" will get three months of the cloud-based No Limits DVR for free, and will be able to subscribe to it for a discounted price of $9.99 per month afterwards. - http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/1/3584824/boxee-tv-launch-no-limits-cloud-dvr

That covers Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 OSes as well as PCs using Windows 8/RT. Unsurprisingly, SurfCast wants Microsoft to "account for and pay to SurfCast all damages caused to SurfCast by reason of Microsoft's patent infringement."	http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57542863-75/microsoft-sued-over-windows-live-tiles/

You already trust Ubunutu b/c it has root access. - Search basics: done over HTTPS, however images are loaded using HTTP (if there are Amazon products to display). The fear is that an eavesdropper could see what images are being loaded.	- And even if the images were loaded via HTTPS, there's a fear that Amazon could correlate images with IP addresses. - Amazon isn't the only company seeing your data, there are other third parties Online results can be provided by Facebook, Twitter, & BBC - EFF has instructions on how to remove the web search function. - "Windows and Mac users are used to having their data sent to third parties without their express consent....Let's make sure Ubuntu ... remains an exception to this." Q: Is this privacy concern legit or is it an unnecessary panic?

77		Hey TNT Crew, I’m currently developing for Windows 8 (getting in early!) By default, all apps written in Visual Studio 2012 for the Windows 8 “Metro” environment are automatically compiled for Windows RT as well. Visual Studio doesn’t ask you, it just compiles it for x86, x64 and ARM automatically (it isn’t something you need to think about). The only reason you’d need to go in and change the compilation settings is if you were doing something extra special in your app which either used some special API that doesn’t work on Windows RT or for performance reasons (which is why some games aren’t available for RT yet). 99% of devs won’t need to think about Windows 8 & RT separately, it’s just one platform to them. For Windows Phone 8, you then can reuse MOST of your Win8/RT code, redesign the UI for a smaller screen size, maybe make some slight modifications to account for the slight difference between the Windows Runtime (WinRT) and the Windows Phone Runtime (WinPRT) (they’re very similar, but not identical) and you’re good to go. - Andrew

79		Hi TNT crew, In response to your discussion on retrieving news during Hurricane Sandy, once my power went out, Twitter was definitely the best way to get news for me. The websites of local news stations and national news sites were terrible and slow to update. Twitter provided crowdsourced updates real-time. False info was quickly squashed and info from official agencies was quickly retweeted. Unfortunately by the next day, cell reception was lost among blacked out areas so I couldn't get on to Twitter or any site on my phone. Actually, the only thing I could connect to was the local news broadcast via digital FM radio on my (Android) phone. Boy was I glad that my phone had that feature.

80		In a recent Twit you were talking about how before MS-DOS it was usual for the hardware makers to make the OS for the hardware. That was true for a lot manufactures but before there was MS-DOS there was CP/M from Digital Research which was the "standard" for business machines that use the 8080,8085, and Z80. I am not pointing this out to be a nitpicker but to give one of the pioneers of the micro revolution his due. Far too few people remember Gary Kildall. MS-DOS was in many peoples opinion a copy of CP/M for the x86. - David the programmer in Florida.

The company is running a big ad on its front page saying the Kindle Fire HD offers "much more for much less," and calls out the Mini for having a "lower-resolution display" than the Kindle Fire HD, one measly mono speaker, and all for $329?? Happy cutthroat holiday season, everyone!	http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/10/29/apple-sells-out-of-all-ipad-mini-models-as-amazon-pans-its-price

He's been arrested and charged with doctoring, fabricating, and destroying evidence to support this claim. Ceglia is accused of producing a contract with a fake 1st page, faking emails confirming the deal with Zuckerberg - and that an actual contract found on one of Ceglia's hard drives didn't even reference Facebook.	http://www.tgdaily.com/business-and-law-features/67150-man-who-claimed-half-of-facebook-charged-with-fraud

If the US Supreme Court rules in favor of John Wiley and Sons against Supap Kirtsaeng today, it could become illegal in the US to resell anything manufactured outside the US. The "First sale" doctrine allows you to re-sell used items, but this case attempts to squash that right when importing goods. The case pertains to 'greay market' importation of textbooks, but a broad opinion could have other repercussions, especially for businesses like eBay and Amazon.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/10/a-supreme-court-clash-could-change-what-ownership-means/

42		- John Wiley and Sons, the textbook publisher, is suing Supap Kirtsaeng, a student-entrepreneur who built a small business importing and selling textbooks. - content companies want to knock out the "first sale" doctrine on goods made abroad. Since most consumer electronics are manufactured outside the US and include copyrighted software in it, a loss for Kirtsaeng would mean copyright owners could tax, or even shut down, resales of everything from books to DVDs to cellphones. FIRST SALE: the rule that allows owners to resell, lend out, or give away copyrighted goods without interference. Along with fair use, it's the most important limitation on copyright. -Without "first sale" doctrine in place, content companies would be allowed to control use of their goods forever. - trouble starts in 90s with Amazons, etc. we could get price info about goods being sold overseas. identical or good-enough products were often being offered for prices much lower than the products being hawked in the US. - sometimes it's cheaper book paper, stuff that students don't care about. A biochemistry text was $146.15 on the American Amazon site, but sold on the UK site for a mere $63.48, plus $8.05 shipping, one student found.	ON KIRSTSAENG'S SIDE: eBay, brick-and-mortar music and game retailers, and Goodwill—all concerned they may lose their right to freely sell used goods. Even libraries are concerned their right to lend out books bought abroad could be inhibited. EBAY LAWYER: "This case is an attempt by some brands and manufacturers to manipulate copyright law, to control the distribution and pricing of legitimate, authentic goods," said eBay's top policy lawyer, Hillary Brill. "When an American purchases an authentic item, he shouldn't have to ask permission from the manufacturer to do with it what he wants." OPPOSERS: movie and music industries, software companies, and other book publishers. Those companies argue differential pricing schemes are vital to their success, and should be enforced by US courts. PAST CASES: a 1998 Supreme Court case called Quality King, the high court found that copyright owners couldn't control the re-importation of goods. They were limited by the "first sale" doctrine, which meant the rights held in a particular copy of a work expired once it was sold or given away. KIRTSAENG HAS LOST ALREADY: Wiley and Sons sued Kirtsaeng in 2008. Kirtsaeng's lawyer was unable to get the case thrown out on "first sale" grounds. jury found Kirtsaeng guilty of infringing copyrights in eight books he had sold, and he was ordered to pay $600,000 in damages—$75,000 per book. He appealed, but a panel of judges ruled 2-1 in the publishers' favor.

So...between now and the end of 2015, there will be five categories of circumvention that will be allowed under the Librarian's rules, one fewer than the current batch of exemptions, which was announced in July 2010.

On the Apple earnings call, Tim Cook explained the new mini saying it "is not a compromised product like the seven inch tablets. It's in a whole different league." Speaking of iPads, the iPad mini and fourth generation iPad are up for pre-order. Wi-fi versions will ship November 2nd, the rest in mid-November.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/26/apples-ipad-mini-4th-gen-ipad-now-available-for-pre-order-wi-fi-only-versions-deliver-november-2/

23	sl	Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Skyrim and other mature games were banned from the European Windows 8 Store! But they aren't anymore. Turns out a mismatch in the US and Europe over game ratings led to the games' exclusion outside North America. In the US these games usually win a "mature" rating under its ESRB system. In Europe these titles and many others are marked as Pegi 18 which means only adults can buy and play them. Before now Microsoft operated a blanket ban on adult-only content on its Windows 8 Store. Relaxing the rules means the games can now get into the Windows Store and be guaranteed to run on Windows 8 be it running on a PC or tablet.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20092798

Wireless telephone handsets - software interoperability - You can jailbreak your phone as long as you're doing it to run lawfully obtained apps - Specifically says this exemption does not apply to tablets - Why not? "The Register found significant merit to the opposition’s concerns that this aspect of the proposed class was broad and ill-defined, as a wide range of devices might be considered 'tablets,'" (would incl. handheld gaming devices or laptops) 3. Wireless telephone handsets – interoperability with alternative networks - Unlocking was permitted betw. 2006 and 2010 - Unlocking is still fine as long as you buy a phone from "the operator of a wireless telecommunications network or retailer no later than ninety days after the effective date of this exemption." - After January, you must have the carrier's permission to unlock the device - Reasoning: "[T]he marketplace has evolved such that there is now a wide array of unlocked phone options available to consumers…"	4.

76		Greetings. I heard your discussion of Swype and Swift Keys on Android. There is a similar product on iOS designed primarily for blind users, like me. Fleksy is able to determine what you meant to type, "even if you don't get one letter correct." You just type where you think the letters are, based on a QWERTY keyboard, and it somehow works. While it's not a replacement of the iOS keyboard, (I wish), it can send texts, post to Facebook and Twitter, or use cut and paste to put text in other apps. Just thought you'd find it interesting. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fleksy-happy-typing/id520337246?mt=8 Love the show.

How'd that happen? $300 million in cash that Facebook promised, plus 12 million vested shares of Class B common stock, although that goes to “non-employee stockholders” aka investors, not staff. Staff gets 11 million un-vested shares to Instagram’s employees. The shares will vest over a three year period. They have an “aggregate fair value of $194 million.” So... Facebook’s final payment for Instagram totals $715 million.	http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2012/10/24/final-cost-to-facebook-to-purchase-instagram-715-million/

55		NY Times ad sales dropped 8.9 percent last quarter, while circulation revenue climbed 7.4 percent. -selling fewer print copies of its papers, but it charging more money. -now has nearly 600,000 people paying for digital subscriptions, up 11 percent from the last quarter. - Print ad sales are down 10.9 percent, and digital is down 2.2 percent. - Paywall implemented smart, hasn't slowed traffic or subs. (Hit it for the first time ever yesterday, switched browsers) - If the economy improves is that all NY Times needs? Or should old media just give up and die and make way for HuffPo and Drudge? - Whither the future of digital newspapers?

Jeffrey Cain, the president of the American Academy of Family Physicians and chief of family medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado, says "Some things we think are personal are actually more public than we imagine." Bacteria from a phone can cause flu, pinkeye or diarrhea - While products are marketed specifically for mobile-phone cleaning, they can sometimes damage the phone's screen coating or fail to remove 100% of the germs. - A lab tested eight randomly selected phones from a Chicago office for this article. The phones showed no signs of E. coli or staphylococci bacteria. But all phones showed abnormally high numbers of coliforms, a bacteria indicating fecal contamination.	- in lab tests, plain rubbing alcohol removed more germs than several types of cleaners - both BB and Apple say not to use "window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia or abrasives." - Boh Ruffin, a senior applications engineer at Corning Gorilla Glass, says standard off-the-shelf cleaning products, such as alcohol wipes, won't degrade the performance of the glass, though he wouldn't speak to smartphones' performance directly. "The only thing that's going to affect the glass is some type of hydrochloric acid," says Mr. Ruffin. "Microfiber cloths work great to remove oil and dirt." - we're going to see cleaners marketed for device cleaning.

82		Hi Tom and the gang, Just a quick view on the iPad4 update from the UK perspective. Here it's not "just" a processor bump and connector change. The new iPad also adds support for 4G LTE here, which the old New iPad didn't have - both the EE (Everything Everywhere) network, which launches its LTE this month in limited cities, and the Three network next year. It also provides LTE support in Australia (remember the lawsuits?) http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/ Personally, I don't feel burnt, since by the time LTE reached my town the iPad 5 will be out! (plus EE's LTE charges are outrageously expensive!) Love the show Tim	http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/

84		I thought you guys may be interested to know that it appears the Droid Bionics on Verizon are getting their Ice Cream sandwich updates. It is version 4.0.4, so they did push out the latest released version of Ice Cream Sandwich, and not an early release. It so far is running smoothly and the update was smooth as well. I did lose some icons off some of my screens, but not many. That has been my only negative I have noticed. The lock screen changed, but likely due to all the litigation that has been tossed about about slide to unlock patent and so now it is a wheel where i move the unlock to the activity I want to do. A bit odd, but I am sure I will get use to it soon enough. Also, something to note, Motorola added in a Tasker style app called Smart Actions. I have not played with it too much, but it appears to handle almost all the same things Tasker can. The only concern I have with it is that it says it can 'learn' your patterns, which could be good or go horribly wrong. Keep up the great work on the show Mark

12	tm	Microsoft began shipping it's Surface RT tablets for those who pre-ordered them in order to make sure they show up on launch day, October 26th. Reviews of the Surface came out from many reviews sites. roughly the collective Internet reviewer mind felt MS has made great hardware, the software still needs work and the app store needs to expand greatly.	http://boingboing.net/2012/10/24/windows-surface-reviews.html

14	sl	AT&T's third quarter earnings are in, and In the last three months, the company shipped 6.1 million smartphones! 4.1 million of those were iPhones. Net profits fell to $3.6 billion, down from $6.8 billion in Q2, but then again ATT had a $3.8 billion share buyback scheme and there's that ongoing cost of building out LTE infrastructure. It added 678,000 new wireless customers to its business, making a total of 105.9 million users on its network, and has $6.5 billion in safety cash.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/24/att-q3-2012/
15	ia	Let's see how those BFFs are doing - of course, I'm talking about the EU and Microsoft. EU regulators say that the lack of browser choice in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 could result in charges against Microsoft. Microsoft blamed the lack of choice on a technical error, which it has since fixed. Speaking of browser choice, Reuters reports that the European Commissioner says that "there are no grounds to pursue an investigation" on the lack of browser choice in Windows RT.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/24/3547080/eu-microsoft-browser-choice-compliance
16	tm	Facebook reported Q3 earnings of 12 cents per share on revenue of 1.262 billion just beating analysts expectation of 11 cents a share on 1.229 billion. Mark Zuckerberg andn team hammered analysts with the message that mobile is not a threat, it's actually Facebook's advantage. The stock market took the message to heart abnd drove Facebook stock up over 20% in early trading.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-24/facebook-shares-soar-after-beating-estimates-on-mobile-gains.html
17	sl	Nintendo has gotten a hold of its operating loss, slowing it down at least. in the latest April-September quarter, the loss dropped from $718 million to $366 million. Console sales saw a drop too, about 60 percent with DS sales of 970,000 and Wii sales hitting 1.32 million. Good news for the 3DS though, its sales rose nearly 65% to 5 million units, including 2.1 million 3DS XLs. Titles like New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Mario Kart 7, helped drive 3DS revenue, with 19.03 million games sold overall.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/24/nintendo-earnings/

Sprint and AT&T offer the same phone for about $300. The T-Mobile version is available today, Sprint starts selling it tomorrow and AT&T starts taking pre-orders tomorrow.	http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/24/samsung-galaxy-note-2-initial-thoughts-gallery-and-device-tour/

21	sl	Crucial security information about the Sony PlayStation 3 has been leaked online. and security experts say it's the equivalent to stealing a master key. The hackers behind the publication of the so-called LVO decryption keys call themselves The Three Musketeers, and say that they decided to release the information after it was leaked and fell into the hands of Chinese hackers who had planned to charge a fee for the code. In a statement, the group said: "You can be sure that if it wouldn't have been for this leak, this key would never have seen the light of day, only the fear of our work being used to make money out of it has forced said us to release this now."	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20067289
22	tm	LG is selling fewer phones but making more money on them. LG reported a net profit of 157 billion won ($139 million US). The Mobile division reported a 22 billion won ($20 million) operating profit. Last quarter it reported a loss of $57 billion won ($49 million). LG shipped a total of 14 million phones, half of them smartphones a 9 percent increase over last year. LG's home entertainment and appliance business bolstered the company as usual with stable profits.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/24/3547382/lg-q3-2012-earnings-mobile-profit
23	ia	You might have missed something during the Apple press event yesterday. At around the same time as the event, Zynga quietly announced it is cutting 5% of its full-time workforce. Zynga will report its earnings today, so it makes sense to make an announcement like that the day before. Zynga's Boston studio is being shut down and 13 games are headed for the sunset. Zynga also said it would back away from The Ville.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/23/zynga-layoffs-boston-austin/

40		-Fusion Drive for iMacs & Mac Minis- two drives, a solid state drive (SSD) and a mechanical drive. 128GB SSD in with either a 1TB or a 3TB mechanical drive. not a RAID, managed in OS X. Fusion Drive watches what files and applications you run most regularly and it moves them to the SSD. stuff you don't reference too often goes to mech drive. - not caching. SSD data not being duplicated. 1TB mechanical drive + 128GB SS = 1.12 TB storage platform. - all write operations go first to SSD, fast. If better on mech disk OS X will eventually move. - BACKING UP: Time Machine sees single volume. lose one drive, full restore. - replacement drives should work, you'd have to reconfigure Fusion Drive - no built-in GPS on wifi-only iPad Mini. Neither does full-size wifi only iPad, but the Nexus 7 does, and lots of comparisons yesterday on stage. Galaxy tab 2 has gps, Kindle Fire HD doesn't.	APPLE'S IMAC PERFORMANCE AREA: The 21.5-inch iMac comes with 8GB of memory and can be configured online with 16GB. On the 27-inch iMac, 8GB of memory comes standard, and you can upgrade to 16GB or 32GB. Configure and buy your iMac at the Apple Online Store and it will arrive with the memory already installed. Or add more memory to the 27-inch model yourself by popping open the easy-to-access memory panel on the back. - farhad manjoo at slate: The trouble for Apple is that few people are buying the Kindle Fire or the Nexus 7 because they like the 7-inch size. They’re buying it because they like the price: Both devices sell for less than $200. They’re so cheap only because Amazon and Google don’t care about making a profit on them; they’re both more interested in getting a foot in the tablet market and perhaps making some money on advertising and media sales through the devices. Apple, on the other hand, does not sell anything at cost; its business model is to sell gadgets at a profit, and any other revenue it makes from them (through app purchases, for instance) is just a bonus.

That's about 170 employees out of a job - “sunsetting” 13 games and "significantly reducing" its investment in The Ville - Boston office shutting down, Japan and UK studios may be shut down, reduction of staff in Austin - More details will be explained on today's post-earnings webcast Backstory acc'g to Techcrunch: - None of the rank and file employees knew where the cuts were coming from until this morning - Zynga sr. VP of games came to the Boston office yesterday to tell the 50-person studio it was being shut down - Many Austin employees are getting offers to transfer back to San Francisco and The Ville is being transitioned into maintenance in the company’s offices in India - The Boston team was about to launch a new product, but that game will never come out (apparently Zynga was excited about the game internally) Q: Obviously these moves are about increasing profitability. Are we going to see a new direction for Zynga and its games? Is this the wakeup call to make original (not knock-off) games?

60		Netflix had its earnings report yesterday Q3: The Numbers - Netflix signed 1.16 million new U.S. streaming subscribers in the third quarter - Domestic Streaming total of 25.10M, 23.8M paid subs. Worldwide: 29.41M subs, 27.49M paid subs - Analysts had predicted 1.43 million, the average of 10 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. - For the full year, the company expects to add as many as 5.43 million, fewer than the 7 million Hastings had predicted earlier. - Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings forecasts 1.3 million to 2 million new U.S. streaming customers this quarter, reaching 27.1 million at most by year end, according to a website statement.	Some substance: - Peter Kafka of AllThingsD analyzed the letter to shareholders and thinks that Amazon is making headway against Netflix (due to the way the letter phrases Amazon's position as a competitor) - on HBO: We think it will make strategic sense eventually for HBO to go direct-to-consumer in the U.S., and become more of a competitor to Netflix; so, that is our operating assumption … - We believe in terms of U.S. viewing, Hulu is currently our closest U.S. competitor. - TV Everywhere: The implication is that even the best TV Everywhere isn’t yet an attractive alternative to Netflix viewing for Netflix members - If we are as successful with originals as we think we will be in Q1, then the attention paid to Netflix will be positive and substantial, and we’ll have more people joining Netflix than we would otherwise.

12	tm	Apple announced new iPads. The iPad Mini with a 7.9-inch display And a new retina iPad with an A6X processor and the new lightning connector. Apple also unveiled a 13-inch MacBook Pro retina, a new thinner iMac, new Mac Minis and upgraded iBook reader. The new iPads will be available for pre-order Friday and WiFi versions ship Nov. 2.	http://allthingsd.com/20121023/apples-fall-bounty-a-smaller-ipad-a-13-inch-macbook-pro-and-itunes-11/
13	sl	Microsoft has announced it'll offer a 250GB Xbox 360 for $99 - or $149 with Kinect - when you sign up for an Xbox Live Gold account for two years at $14.99 per month. The two models will join the original 4GB with Kinect option, which stay firm at $99. You might remember the $99 Xbox pilot program back in July, when the offer was available in 16 official Microsoft stores. Now, a holding page invites users to "check back later to see a full list of participating retailers." Maybe a holiday season surprise?	http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/23/3542196/xbox-360-250gb-two-year-contract-subsidy
14	ia	Remember that rubber-banding patent Apple had? FOSS Patents noticed that the US Patent and Trademark Office has tentatively invalidated all 20 claims included in Apple's "rubber-banding" patent. The tentative nature of the invalidation means that the PTO's decision is not final. Apple claimed that Samsung had infringed on that patent and it was included in Apple's big victory against Samsung earlier this year. Samsung has filed a motion with Judge Lucy Koh.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57537912-37/uspto-invalidates-apple-patent-used-in-samsung-victory/
15	tm	Yahoo announced earnings essentially in line with expectations with operating income of $177 million in their third straight quarter of revenue growth. It was Marissa Mayer's first full quarter as CEO and she spoke in the earnings call about changing Yahoo to a focused coherent mobile strategy.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/22/3541080/marissa-mayer-yahoo-mobile-strategy
16	sl	Remember yesterday's news that Samsung would pull out of LCD manufacturing for Apple devices by early next year? Samsung tells CNET that story, first reported by Korea Times and citing a "senior industry official" that the story is 100 % false. “Samsung Display has never tried to cut the supply for LCD panels to Apple,” a spokesman said, adding that Samsung was asking Korea Times to revise its story.	http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2012/10/23/samsung-denies-report-of-terminating-lcd-shipments-to-apple/
17	ia	Microsoft's new Office Web Apps are officially integrated into SkyDrive. The apps have been available since July as a preview, but were finalized yesterday. In more Office news, Microsoft unveiled pricing for Office 365 University. Schools can pay $1.67 per month or $80 over four years. Office 365 University will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access, and Publisher. The suite will be available in Q1 of 2013.	http://blogs.office.com/b/officewebapps/archive/2012/10/22/updated-office-web-apps-now-available-to-all.aspx

20	sl	The FTC has released a set of guidelines for companies using facial recognition technologies. Organizations should design their services with consumer privacy in mind, says the FTC. They should develop reasonable security protections for the information they collect, together with sound methods for determining when to keep information and when to get rid of it. However, J Thomas Rosch, one of the 5 commissioners, says "There is nothing to establish that this misconduct has occurred or even that it is likely to occur in the near future. It is at least premature for anyone, much less the Commission, to suggest to businesses that they should adopt as 'best practices' safeguards that may be costly and inefficient against misconduct that may never occur."	http://www.tgdaily.com/software-features/67029-ftc-issues-guidelines-for-facial-recognition
21	tm	The US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency may be best known these days in tech circles for seizing domain names. However the agency just dealt a blow to RIM announcign it will end its contract for BlackBerrys in favor of the iPhone. The agency intends to buy iPhone for more than 17,600 employees because RIM "can no longer meet the mobile technology needs of the agency."	http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/22/us-blackberry-iphone-idUSBRE89L0YW20121022
22	ia	Yesterday people were freaking out because there was an Amazon Web Services outage. The service interruption affected Imgur and Reddit causing many of us to wonder where we could see cat pictures. On the technical side, Amazon's Elastic Block Store went down - that is a part of Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud, which is something lots of sites use to handle bandwidth demands.	http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/10/amazon-web-services-outage-once-again-shows-reality-behind-the-cloud/

36	sl	Icelanders approve their crowdsourced constitution	http://gigaom.com/europe/icelanders-approve-their-crowdsourced-constitution/
37		- Iceland let the general populace participate in the drafting of its new constitution – via social media - Saturday the country held a referendum asking voters 6 questions about the draft. 1st q: should we use it as the basis for new constitution. 66% voted yes. It's easy to participate! BACK STORY: Iceland’s banking system collapsed during financial crisis, country’s government imploded - what came out of that: Modern Media Initiative (now the International Modern Media Institute), a Wikileaks-inspired free speech drive – Iceland should be a haven for free speech by inviting media organizations from around the world to host their sites in Iceland’s green data centers and enjoy the country’s strong new protections for whistleblowers, etc - CROWDSOURCING: Iceland’s old constitution was based on Denmark's,25 citizens were brought into into a Constitutional Council to help create a new one. council took the ideas raised online by their fellow citizens, delivered the resulting draft in July 2011. almost half of Iceland’s 235,000 eligible voters took part in the referendum, like the approach - non-binding, parliament decides if it will listen. constitution is supposed to be finalized before the next election, in the spring of 2013. it's all public though, works in finland

41	sl	The 5 Big New Ways Facebook Laid The Groundwork For Making Money During Q3 2012	http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/23/facebook-q3-2012/
42		- FB earnings are out today. - this year, FB has shifted products to mobile. no longer porting from web. - stock dipped under $20 after IPO $38. - 5 ways FB is turning around: 1. Gifts - Sept launch, mobile/web. US only. who's using this? 2. mobile ad network. - FB is the middleman for existing ad networks because of their rich data on us 3. allow developers to pay to inject “Install Now” ads into the mobile news feed. name, icon, description, Facebook App Center rating, and friends who use them. link to App Store or Google Play market. last week all devs got this feature 4. FB Exchange - FBX lets advertisers target their ads on Facebook to users who’ve recently visited specific websites. travel company could target users who viewed but didn’t buy a flight to hawaii with ads promoting that same flight. 5. Sponsored results - businesses pay to have their Page, app, or other Facebook property appear above organic results when users search for a specific property. For example, gaming company Playdom currently pays to show its game Marvel: Avengers Alliance at the top of typeahead results when people search for “Mafia Wars”, a game by its competitor Zynga.	- Facebook VP of corporate development Vaughn Smith said at a conference last week, “It’s funny to reflect back that in the first quarter of this year we had no ads on our mobile product.” - Facebook’s earnings probably not impressive because of all this yet. last month 1.2B additional shares opening up for sale by employees and investors when a big part of the company’s stock lock-up expires on November 16th. share price might dip more.

Cause delays, generate more traffic, compund problem - Algebraic equations describe series of packets. If a packet goes missing, solve for the missing packet rather than askign for a re-send - X+y+z=25 packet x=12 packet y=8 z packet dropped. Solve equation z=5 - Medard's group set up proxy servers in the Amazon cloud. IP traffic was sent to Amazon, encoded, and then decoded as an application on phones. - Testing on MIT WiFi with 2% poacket loss boosted 1 Mbps speed to 16 Mbps spoeed - 5% packet loss went from.5 Mbps to 13.5 - Needs to be tested in full-scale deployment.

47	ia	FTC releases facial recognition tech guidelines	http://www.zdnet.com/ftc-releases-facial-recognition-tech-guidelines-7000006199/
48		- FTC published "best practices" guidelines for companies that use facial recognition technology Companies that use facial recognition tech are recommended to - design their services with consumer privacy in mind; - develop reasonable security protections for the information they collect, and sound methods for determining when to keep information and when to dispose of it; - consider the sensitivity of information when developing their facial recognition products and services – for example, digital signs using facial recognition technologies should not be set up in places where children congregate. - They also should provide consumers with an easy to use choice not to have their biometric data collected and used for facial recognition, and the ability to turn the feature off at any time and have the biometric data previously collected from their photos permanently deleted. Q: Do these guidelines (and they're just guidelines) go far enough? Is there anything you think should be added?

72		Good Morning TNT crew! While listening to yesterday's discussion about possible new features for Android, I thought of the biggest benefit for multiple logins: devices for education. As a high school teacher, I've looked into trying to get several tech devices for my classroom. Every mobile device I look into has the same basic problem. With the exception of computers or laptops, there's not a good way for me to buy 1 class set of 25-30 devices for all of my classes to use. Here's the issue: If Student A uses an iPad in class 1, they would have to logout of every app they use before Student B in class 2 uses that device. This takes up class time logging in and out of multiple apps, and if a student forgets to log out of an app, their content is now available to someone else. If a device had multiple account logins, then a student could choose any device from the class set, login, and have their individual content there. I think that would be a big step in getting Google/Android hardware into education where currently Apple has a huge marketshare. Just my two cents worth. Love the show! Michael Coley from Murfreesboro, TN

76		I was watching you guys discuss what Mark Zuckerberg said about sharing more in the future and it left me wondering; was he talking about information or data. I personal think that people are sharing way too much information. I really don't care what somebody had for dinner. But people have just begun sharing data. For example, the scale that tweets your weight. I think, in Mark Zuckerberg's mind, the future will have devices all over the house posting to Facebook, Letting everybody know that we need cereal, that we saved 50 watts of electricity this month, or we just jogged two miles on the treadmill. - Josh

76		Hello there - I heard your discussion on microsoft quarterly results. There is indeed an accounting rule behind the deferral of revenue. The US accounting rules require delivery of a product without any restriction to recognize revenue. Since microsoft restricts partners from selling windows 8 till end of october, they have not delivered the product contractually. Hence they cannot recognize revenue . Hope this helps. Enjoy the show very much. Great job guys. Mukund	Hi Guys - I thought I'd quickly answer your question about why Microsoft, or anyone else, might defer income. In GAAP accounting there is a general concept that you match when you incur both a revenue or expenses for a particular activity. So, as an example, say you had a business where you had a customer who paid you a month ahead of you doing the work. Under the revenue recognition principal, you would recognize that income when you did the work. If you didn't do this, it would look like you had a super awesome month (because you got money without outlaying any expenses), followed by a terrible month (because you had expenses without recognizing revenue), when in reality you had two normal months. This concept of matching and timing recognition is one of the most basic building blocks of accrual accounting, and a lot of the other rules (for instance depreciation) are build with the goal of matching in mind. Remember, the basic idea of accounting to show the underlying economic activity of the business.

12	tm	Nokia reported a net loss of 969 million Euros for the quarter ending in September compared with a 68 million Euro loss a year ago. And that's good news. Because thje markets expected even worse. Sales were down 19% over a year a go but record profits from the Nokia Siemens Networks telecom company cushioned the blow. Everything rides on Windows Phone 8 now. Which I suppose is why CEO Stephen Elop said he's encouraging other manufacturers including Microsoft to put out their own WP8 devices.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19987529

15	ia	Alright, Apple. Time to eat some crow. After Samsung won a UK ruling that it had not infringed Apple's designs, Apple has lost an appeal on that ruling. That means Apple will have to run ads saying Samsung had not infringed its rights. The Apple homepage will have to display a teeny tiny link that says "Samsung/Apple judgment" for one month. Also, in their US squabble, Judge Lucy Koh denied Apple's request to have some financial documents sealed.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19989750

German authorities in the state of Lower Saxony last month banned the group, Besseres Hannover. The German police requested in a letter posted online by Twitter that the group’s account be shut down entirely. Instead, only access in Germany was blocked.

But why would a customer buy a phone without a clue about the OS? Nokia CMO: Microsoft will launch Windows 8 on October 29. The devices are coming to the market a little late. There's enough time for a consumer to understand the OS before Lumia 920 arrives. Q: It's the bottom of the ninth, the 4th quarter (Q4 actually), will Nokia be the leader in WP8 devices?

54	sl	Jack says we shouldn't call them "users"	http://jacks.tumblr.com/post/33785796042/lets-reconsider-our-users
55		- Tumblr post last night. says he didn't have a good answer when new member of board asks why "users" - his history- in hacker culture, user isn't technical or creative, just uses resources, can't make or produce anything (often called a “luser”). Internet companies whose business models depended on two discrete classes of usage, a paying customer (often purchasing ads) and a non-paying consumer (subsidized by viewing the ads). - Q: how much does internal messaging change the product for us?	- DORSEY: We speak about “user-centric design”, “user benefit”, “user experience”, “active users”, and even “usernames.” While the intent is to consider people first, the result is a massive abstraction away from real problems people feel on a daily basis. - DORSEY: At Square we’re removing the term “users” from our vocabulary, replacing it with “customers”, and the more specific “buyers”, and “sellers.” The word customer, given its history, immediately sets a high bar on the level of service we must provide, or risk losing their attention or business. LETTER TO THE CO TELLING THEM TO CHANGE VERBAGE: I expect all of you to make certain our customers are always the first and only focus of all our efforts. If there is an egregious absence of this focus anywhere in the company, tell me and we will correct. If I ever say the word “user” again, immediately charge me $140. From this moment forward, let’s stop distancing ourselves from the people that choose our products over our competitors. We don’t have users, we have customers we earn.

Once UltraViolet’s CFF is finalized, UltraViolet files downloaded are expected to work across platforms and devices, instead of each retailer having different files for their service. - The format is not yet complete, though it is being tested by UV supporting businesses. But no one seemed willing to say when consumer availability will kick off other than a broad “soon”. - Right now: download content is tied to suppliers’ own playback apps, or streamed. - Q: If UV gets its CFF act together, will that make it a success or does it need Amazon and Apple to get on board?

85		Hey TNT Crew! Love the show and listen daily. The conversation comparing the $499 32GB Surface to the 16GB iPad lacked one key point - we don't know how much space the Windows RT OS will occupy. The minimum Intel Windows 8 install size is 16GB. If the RT install ends up being half of that size then users will get nowhere near 32GB of usable storage space. We know RT is more closely related to Windows 8 than to Windows Phone so I would guess an install size of 8-10GB. That would also explain why there's no 16GB Surface! Keep the shows coming!

88		In Episode 608, you talked about how ServerBeach finally pulled the plug on Edublogs when it noticed that the offending file was still in the web server's cache -- even though the file was no longer easily accessible to the public. I guess ServerBeach wasn't aware that the DMCA has a provision excluding system cached content (it's section 512b). If the original copyrighted material has been removed, a service provider isn't liable for cached versions. If a service provider is going to be hamfisted when it comes to the DMCA, then they should at least read the law first. Or hire better lawyers.

The $499 model is already showing shipments pushed back to "within 3 weeks," although the pricier models are available for delivery by October 26, the day the Surface goes on sale.

Though consumers seem to be favoring the model without the Touch Cover combination cover/keyboard.

36		- over the weekend Gawker's Adrien Chen published an expose about a Reddit user going by "violentacrez" - notorious Reddit user, posting distasteful stuff. found the guy, called him at work, printed identity, etc. Known as "doxxing" someone - at issue for many, this guy posts and mods subreddit dedicated to embarrassing shots of women w/o their knowledge, now he's upset for being outed - Reddit banned the article link site-wide, ppl got up in arms. Reddit is pro-free speech - Reddit CEO Yishan Wong posts update today, says they won't ban Gawker, exposes, anything that's legal. Including their own content	WONG ON WHY IT WON'T WORK: 1. ineffective at stopping off-site doxxing. People who want to go after someone off-site would still do it. 2. raise the profile of the issue with the general public, and result in headlines like "gawker exposes creepster; reddit engages in personal vendetta to defend pedophile." This would hardly help us explain the problem of irresponsible release of personal information to the general public. 3. wouldn't really deter or hurt gawker anyways. This is in contrast to domain banning spammers, where it is not just punitive, it literally stops the spam. - SAYS GAWKER WAS INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM, BUT: 1. We will ban doxxing posted to reddit. & 2. We will ban links to pages elsewhere which are trivially or primarily intended for the purposes of doxxing (e.g. wikis or blogs primarily including dox).

Earth bound nodes that transform the data are as deeply encrypted and reboot into a deadlock if not used for 8 hours. All attempts to attack The Pirate Bay from now on is an attack on everything and nothing." - Does nto seem to be the Aerial drones with Raspberry Pi computers that were suggested - Several cloud hosting providers in two countries according to Torrent Freak - "we only have to upload the VM-images and reconfigure the load-balancer to get the site up and running again" - TPB still maintains own load balancer (diskless, all config in RAM) and transit router to obfuscate the cloud services. Cloud disk images are encrypted as is traffic betwene load balancer and virtual servers - Extreme Tech states the real advantages of moving to the cloud are less down time, and less expenditure for the TPB admins.

We will discontinue its distribution and will not be releasing any additional major updates."

78		Hi TNT crew, I'm based in Japan and have been a listener of the show for sometime now but it's rather rare that you guys discuss topics related to Japan. When Tom kicked off the show with the story of Softbank's acquisition of Sprint last Thu, made me realize the magnitude of the story. I personally believe end users of both Sprint and Softbank Mobile are in the position to gain here. They'll be able leverage their size to get better deals from device makers such as Apple but also from their mobile vendors such as Ericsson and NSN. I happen to be working for one of smaller vendors for Softbank Mobile and I know they spend billions of dollars each year to these vendors in order to improve and maintain their network. With 4G becoming more and more standard, the cost is only expected to rise in the foreseeable future. Their combined presence in the US and Japan will allow them to invest more efficiently in their infrastructure, which generally is a good thing not only for the carriers themselves but also for their end-users. It is general consensus amongst Japanese people that Softbank still has the worst reception of the top 3 carriers here in Japan (NTT Docom, KDDI and Softbank). So they have their share of network improvement work to do themselves. I think (hope) we can expect good things for both Softbank and Sprint out of this acquisition. Love the show! Tako

80		TNT Crew: Sunday more, like 8 million others, I saw the links for Felix Baumgartner on social media and checked out the stream on my iPhone. Then I thought it would be cool to put it on my living room TV so my son and I can follow along together. I first fired up the built in YouTube App on my Panasonic TV. Besides the painfully slow interface, could not find a way to get to the live stream on Youtube. Second, fired up my PS3 web browser. Entered the Red Bull URL and the PS3 took me to the download page for their YouTube App. Once there, same problem. All these setup Apps are mostly designed to let you watch "featured" clips. And doing search just brings up endless user video postings on the space jump. Finally, I went to my Windows 7 Media Center PC and even that required a Flash install before I was able to finally get it on my TV in full screen, and good 35 min later. Yes, Apple would have said if I had an AppleTV I could just have AirPlayed it. But I don't have an AppleTV and I'm not sure I wanted my phone tied up for an hour while the balloon capsule went from 75000 to 130000 feet. I can't help to think if it's this complicated to do this for a "tech head", we have a long long way to go before the average user out there can enjoy all this tech "advances". -Neal

46		- Alexis Madrigal over at The Atlantic has a theory - chunk of traffic coming to any site isn't being shared on Twitter, FB, etc. It's being IM'd, coming from a secure site, or from an email distribution list, etc - calls it Dark Social. it's unaccounted for - real-time web analytics firm, Chartbeat had a meeting w The Atlantic. showed how they were splitting visitors without referrer data into two categories. 1- go to a homepage (theatlantic.com) or a subject landing page (theatlantic.com/politics). 2- go to any other page, following some sort of link, long complicated string. Chartbeat calling these people DIRECT SOCIAL. - over half The Atlantic's traffic is coming through this way	- what about other sites? Chartbeat says looking across broader media properties, almost 69% of social referrals were dark! Facebook came in second at 20%. Twitter was down at 6%. - TAKE AWAY: optimizing for social (FB pages, Twitter presence, etc) accounts for less than half your traffic, but adds a lot of context, metadata. "We're not giving our personal data in exchange for the ability to share links with friends. Massive numbers of people -- a larger set than exists on any social network -- already do that outside the social networks. Rather, we're exchanging our personal data in exchange for the ability to publish and archive a record of our sharing."

79		Subj: The dangers of Niche Searching Hi Tnt crew, Marlon "GuyfromTrinidad" here, I just listened to Friday's episode and like Tom I use Amazon when i search for the prices of products, however it can have unsuspecting side effects.A month ago I was checking the prices of cheap unlocked phones for a friend and a couple of days later this came in my email. [Marlon included a link to an email from Amazon showing him all kinds of deals on unlocked phones] Thought you might get a kick out of that.	https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/112032489367607291115/albums/5789878172920733809/5789878170519933250

81		Hi, I was listening to your Friday show about Google TV version 3, and about how all the audience members will be yelling at their TV screen. With Google's experience of voice recognition, I submit that Google will likely Build in a microphone into their next remote. This remote paired with the television to receive commands to navigate the channels, search for TV shows and movies, etc. In fact, if you are listening Google, You might think about the term "whisper search". That way you won't wake up your wife or husband or kids When trying to search for Game of Thrones. Just a thought, George

83		Hey TNT Crew, I remember awhile back when Facebook announced "Sponsored" posts where users could pay to have their post pushed to the top of all their friend's news feed. I, like you guys, thought it was a laughable idea that someone would be so attention starved that they would pay Facebook to have their 'friends' read their post. Well, promoted posts just today rolled out to me. As it so happens I'm trying to rent out one of my bedrooms and was already advertising that fact on Facebook. It occurred to me that instead of just posting and hoping people see my post I could promote the post and make sure that all of my friends see it (even though who wouldn't normally look at my wall or see my posts). For a mere $7 it seems like a good deal if I can find someone I already know (or someone who knows someone I know) to live with insted of some random guy from Craigslist or a paper add. - Bryan

The Stored Communications Act allows for such an action as long as those messages are in "electronic storage."

71		Hi TNT crew, It's not too often that I feel I can provide better insight than the TNT audience has already provided and got really excited when I heard the topic of tipping at Starbucks came up. I am a Starbucks store manager and was actually able to hold a conversation with the Starbucks partner who struck the deal with Square last week. The issue with the tipping is actually a cash management policy. Currently baristas are tipped only with cash. That cash is kept completely separate from any of the cash from transactions. Once we start accepting tips via Square, we will have to start mixing the two currently completely separated funds. Starbucks is working out a way to cash out tips, and wants to get all the kinks worked out before rolling it out to 10,000 stores in the US and Canada. Brandon J. Williams

73		Dear TNT crew, There are a few facts that don’t seem to be taken into account when people say the PC market is in decline. First is PC’s now last longer. Home users and business users do not need to replace them as often. Even the high end gaming machine doesn’t need replaced as often. Most users don’t use but a small portion of their resources on any decent PC built in the last 5 years. So I submit that just as many PC are in use. Just less are being bought. In my opinion that doesn’t spell a decline, it points to better quality than the PC’s of the past. I enjoy the show nightly. Keep up the good work, Mike C in Olympia WA.

16	sl	Eric Schmidt spoke to ATD's Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher last night about all sorts of stuff, and called “The Android-Apple platform fight the defining fight in the industry today." “We’ve not seen platform fights at this scale,” he said. “The beneficiary is you guys (i.e., consumers). Prices are dropping rapidly. That’s a wonderful value proposition.” Schmidt said he couldn’t talk about specific patent battles, because 1) he doesn’t understand all the details; and 2) the topic makes him too upset.	http://allthingsd.com/20121010/eric-schmidt-android-apple-is-the-defining-fight-in-the-industry-today/

36		Eric Schmidt Would Love to Be CEO of Apple, Doesn't Take Microsoft Seriously and Is Wary of Facebook	http://gizmodo.com/5950793
37		- HE'S HAPPY: “We’ve not seen platform fights at this scale,” he said. “The beneficiary is you guys (i.e., consumers). Prices are dropping rapidly. That’s a wonderful value proposition.” - HE'S SAD: “These patent wars are death,” says software is always overlapping, and that there are an estimated 200,000 patents covering the software industry. small companies get shafted. “I think this is ultimately bad, bad for innovation. It eliminates choices.” - ON APPLE'S MISTAKE: “Apple should have kept with our maps. The fact of the matter is they decided a long time ago to do their own maps, and we saw this coming with their acquisitions. I think Apple has learned that maps are hard. We invested hundred of millions of dollars in satellite work, airplane work, drive-by work, and we think we have the best product in the industry.” - wouldn't confirm iOS google maps - Schmidt's “Gang of Four” is still Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook. ON MICROSOFT: “It’s a well-run company,” he said, “but they don’t make state-of-the-art products.” says it'll mean a lot if the Surface works.	- if you could be CEO of any company: "I was on Apple board, and I'll always have a soft spot for them. I was very good friends and very close to Steve Jobs, and we miss him dearly. Jeff Bezos has made remarkable moves. And again, Facebook has a billion users." BUT SERIOUSLY: Apple because it had the most cash.

81		Hey TNT crew, One of the initial concerns that a lot of tech pundits had when Microsoft started this recent shift to mobile computing was if Microsoft was going to be agile enough to compete in the mobile space. I think that the update that they released to the RTM of Windows 8 shows that this might be an all new microsoft. A lot of the tech press have mentioned that this update seems to be more in line of a Service Pack and not just a standard Microsoft monthly update. The fact that they are willing to provide such a deep impacting update so quickly after RTM kind of demonstrates their commitment to provide a serious competitor to existing mobile device company. I also think that Windows 8 tablet/desktop hybrid approach is interesting one for a couple of reasons. Just based on numbers and their massive install base of over a billion users, if Microsoft were able to get 1% of existing users to switch to windows 8 tablets they would become the bestselling tablet of all time. So I think the hybrid/convertible PC changes the conversation in a way that Microsoft can definitely succeed. Keep up the great work, Tim in Florida

82		Hi TNT crew. Was watching episode 603 and the Digits discussion with interest. Can't help thinking that whilst they are from competing companies the ideal use case for me is pairing Digits with Glass. The question I've always had with Glass as a concept is the input and interaction as I'm not a big fan of voice control out and about. Using something like Digits as the input/controller with Glass as the display is the first time I've considered wearable computing as a potentially truly productive implementation rather than just interesting gadgety. I know google have lodged some patents regarding hand gestures, but this seems like an easier option. Of course animated gesticulation during a conversation could result in accidentally sending a live video stream to your grandmother......but all progress comes at a cost. Lyndon, (Melbourne, Australia).

84		Hi Crew - Regarding this issue over tipping via square at starbucks - I happen to be at a target shopping this weekend and got a coffee from the starbucks in the store then sat while i went through my shopping list. I listened to the barista (also the store manager) explain to the next three people in line that he couldn't accept their tips they were attempting to give him. He eventually elaborated that starbucks housed within targets are run by the store and he is actually a target employee. target business guidelines do not allow employees to accept gratuities and that extends to the retail food in the stores, even starbucks. so I'd agree with your assessment that its likely not technology blocking tipping out of the gate, but figuring out how to make the technology work with existing business policies they have in place across their various types of stores.

31		- "Copyright Alert System" (six-strikes plan) initiative backed by the Obama administration and pushed by Hollywood and the major record labels to disrupt and possibly stop internet access for online copyright offenders. In place for year's end. includes participation by AT&T, Cablevision Systems, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon. - 1st offense: subscribers will receive an e-mail “alert” from their ISP saying the account “may have been” misused for online content theft. - 2nd offense: the alert might contain an “educational message” about the legalities of online file sharing. - 3rd and 4th offense: subscriber will likely receive a pop-up notice “asking the subscriber to acknowledge receipt of the alert.” - After 4 offenses, ISPs begin so-called “mitigation measures” : reducing internet speeds and redirecting a subscriber’s service to an “educational” landing page about infringement. - ISPs could shut down service altogether for repeat file-sharing offenders, although the plan does not directly call for it. Copyright holders still free to sue - Gigi Sohn, president of digital rights group Public Knowledge, and an adviser to the center, wanted to put distance between this and SOPA/PIPA. “SOPA and PIPA definitely had an impact. There was some concern, if they moved ahead to quickly, public opinion would be so raw, this would be caught in the whirlwind of bad PR."	- The Copyright Act allows damages of up to $150k per infringement of a work registered with the Copyright Office. P2P file sharing of copyrighted works is what's being targeted via IP addresses. Cyberlockers, e-mail attachments, shared Dropbox folders and other ways to infringe are not included in the crackdown. - ubscribers may challenge their dings for a $35 filing fee paid to an arbitration service. They also get a free pass, one time, if they claim the infringement was based on having an open, unencrypted Wi-Fi network. - meanwhile: Pennsylvania District Court judge has ordered a copyright holder to go to trial, instead of settling with the alleged file-sharers for a few thousand dollars. This will be the first time that BitTorrent-related evidence will be tested in a U.S. court.

I searched for the games listed on the mailer (hot new games just out now) and none were available yet. The earliest available was in January but most weren't available until March. Most movies were available now. Despite this, it has me considering leaving Netflix again and at least trying out the plan for a free month. Ron in Green Bay

The issue: Production problems that forced the suppliers to throw out one of every five displays coming off the press. Well that story is carrying a little more weight now that the wall street journal also says Apple has ordered up to 10 million units in Q4, about twice the amount of Kindle Fires ordered in the same period.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410688,00.asp

76		I've noticed some changes on the product page [of the Kindle Fire HD LTE] that you guys might be interested in. First, it no longer has the FTC disclaimer saying that they can't sell it. I guess that means that they got approval. Also, they have clarified the $50 LTE package. They, at a minimum, strongly implied that the LTE package was $50/ year. It now clearly states that the $50 package is only available the first year. ( Which I think makes the tablet far less attractive.) I haven't heard you guys or anyone else say anything on either of these points. Thanks, John

78		In a recent tnt you talked about the Nest and I was tempted to get one so I asked someone I work with who had one. Oddly enough he said the day before Nest rolled out an update that broke is thermostat and now is says be has to " connect the red wire." I know the weather is nice in sanfransico and a broken thermostat for a week is likely no big deal, but in Canada it means thousands in frozen waterlines and water damage. What if they rolled out while I was on vacation? I don't know how widespread the problem is but I know I decided not to buy one now and am curious what Nest is doing to help affected customers. Maybe disable auto updating is a good start. Dion rowney Saskatoon sk. Canada

Sony has halted sales of the "splash-proof" Xperia, after determining the device may not be as water resistant as they thought. Sony has shipped 100,000 of the tablets since it went on sale a month ago and says it will repair any damaged devices. A manufacturing flaw was blamed for the issue.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19845239

D-Wave has courted controversy but recently the D-Wave One system has looked like it may not only be operational, but useful, if not ENTIRELY quantum. Still, I'm sure they can use the cash.	http://www.geekwire.com/2012/bezos-cia-invest-30-million-quantum-computing-company/

One thing we mentioned was that if their algorithm flagged an infringing video as possibly mistakenly-identified, it would be manual;ly reviewed. This raised questions about YouTube threatening their safe harbor status. Turns out the reviewiing will not be done by YouTube employees. YouTube modified the statement yesterday to clarify that videos would be manually reviewed by the content owner. So YouTube's harbor is safe.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/4/3457962/youtube-manual-review-content-id

42		- DIsh Chairman Charlie Ergen tells Bloomberg that Dish has scrapped its plan to make Blockbuster into a Netflix competitor - Blockbuster as a brand will exist, but it won't do DVDs by the mail nor streaming - Plans for Blockbuster turned into a problem when Dish couldn't get approval to use its spectrum for data and voice (Dish wanted to build an LTE network). - Blockbuster stores were supposed to sell Dish compatible phones - Dish planned to get consumers to buy its wireless services by streaming Blockbuster movies on mobile devices. - However, w/o the network, BB would just be kind of like Netflix Ergen sheds light on NF's dealings - Netflix negotiated its deals when it had a low number of subscribers - NF paid a flat fee to stream library content. What made NF profitable was growing its subscribers. Pay a fee based on a low number of subscribers, then recruit millions more. - Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen says that if Netflix doesn't get to 30 million "they're probably going to go pfft." Q: Move seems out of line for Dish - what do we think of the move?

70		Hi guys, In regards to the "Google Glass" watch you had made mention of in yesterday's (10/04) show, there was a lot of attention paid to the patent filed itself and its notion of wearable computing. As your guest also pointed out, its "glass" not "glasses". Perhaps I'm wrong but does Google see a (forgive the bad pun) a window of progress to move on here? There have been obvious strides made towards the idea of augmented reality, what better way to accomplish this with a window that displays your information superimposed upon the environment. I would love to see something like this "Google glass" make its way to the car market. "Google Windshield" perhaps? Talk about taking turn-by-turn navigation to the next level! I'm a huge fan of the show and watch everyday. Keep up the great work! Tyler Winfield Rionet Media Systems

28		Q&A with Zuck	http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-10-04/facebooks-next-billion-a-q-and-a-with-mark-zuckerberg
29		- interesting stat- something like 1,000 engineers now on the order of a billion users, so each engineer is responsible for a million users. unique place to work - who else has a billion users? Zuck mentions coco cola, mcdonald's ON THE BILLIONTH USER: "Doing data analytics at this scale is a big challenge, and one of the things you have to do is sample. So it’s funny, we were all sitting around watching us get to a billion users but it was actually just a sample of the users. It’s like you’re not going to try to pull a billion rows from a database, so you’ll pull a sample and project out. I don’t even know if we knew who the billionth person was." ON BUILDING EXTERNALLY: "Even when we were at half a billion people, you got these large-scale services like Skype or Netflix (NFLX) that also had big user bases. And we weren’t yet at the point where the majority of their users were Facebook users, so they couldn’t really rely on us as a piece of critical infrastructure for registration. A lot of startups did, but the bigger companies couldn’t. Now really everyone can start to rely on us as infrastructure. That’s a pretty big shift."	- sees big push in commerce coming - ON BUILDING INTERNALLY: "The whole vision around News Feed was it should be like a newspaper and shouldn’t just be a list of posts your friends are making. There are already trillions of connections between friend requests and all the content that’s being pushed into the system. At some point, that will start to be a better map of how you navigate the Web than the traditional link structure of the Web." - 2B with mobile: "There are 5 billion people in the world who have phones, and a billion people using Facebook. There are actually already 600 million people using Facebook on phones, so that’s growing really quickly." - getting into the Chinese market is still priority, but long-term. complicated. - mentions stock offering as disappointing, they care about investors, blah blah

34		- The Next Web reports Microsoft is in talks to acquire Rdio - Unsurprisingly, neither Rdio nor MS said anything about the prospective deal when asked - Rdio = music streaming service with a web interface, desktop and mobile apps, 18M songs. Rdio was founded by the same guys who started Skype (acq'd by MS in 2011). - Rdio also has an international presence: available in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Brazil and more - Skype is also an investor in Rdio - MS does already have Zune Music Pass. $10/month, lots of music and music videos. Zune has around 14M songs - Zune limited to PC, WP and 360 - Meanwhile, TheVerge reports that Xbox Music will launch on Oct 26th, the same day as Win8. There will be a free ad-supported version and also subscription based services. To launch on WP, Win8 and 360 - w/plans to hit iOS and Android- Music will use SkyDrive to store music and playlists in a cloud collection. Q: Would MS buying Rdio make more sense than expanding Zune Pass?

52		- Google got issued a patent from the US Patent and Trademark Office yesterday for what looks like a watch! timepiece with a clear touch screen that flips up from the base of the watch to serve as a secondary display. - images look like it will offer directions, product information and e-mail notifications. - patent doesn't mean product. great idea, way to keep great idea close, etc. but it's google. they probably mean it. - Cnet notes The Field Trip app, which the company released last week, provides pop-up notifications whenever a user walks by a point of interest. It's easy to see something like that being ported over to a watch like this.	from the summary area of patent: The wireless transceiver can be configured to connect to a wireless network. The tactile user interface can be configured to provide interaction between a user and the smart-watch. The flip up portion can be displaceable between an open position exposing the base and a closed position concealing the base. Further, the flip up portion can include: a top display exposed when the flip up portion is in the closed position, and an inside display opposite the top display. The inside display can be concealed when the flip up portion is in the closed position and be exposed when the flip up portion is in the open position.

75		Handy Andy in Atlanta here (again). I am following the MetroPCS - TMobile merger with interest as my family is on a T-Mobile plan. Another reason for the deal could be that deal structures (acquisition, merger, reverse triangular merger, etc.) are usually driven by financial and tax considerations. In this case, it most likely has to do with the fact that MetroPCS is already a NYSE-traded public company. The press release says it: "Upon consummation of the transaction, the combined company is expected to continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange." If DT had acquired MetroPCS outright, it would have had to buy out the MetroPCS shareholders and then combine the two companies. With a consolidation of this type, T-Mobile becomes a publicly-traded company without going through an expensive IPO. This gives them more financial flexibility, and it probably has significant tax benefits as well. Boring lawyer stuff, I know, but I thought I'd share it anyway. Great work - love the show. -- Handy Andy

77		Hi all, Jerry here with a thought. Everyone has decided to call this Unicron the iPad Mini. I suggest an alternative, The iBook. A scaled down iPad with the focus on ebooks, music and video. I would put the price at or near the midrange kindle. If Apple actually makes this smaller tablet, I think the goal would be to ease the way into the Apple ecosystem. Thank you all

79		Hey TNT crew, Love the show, I listen every day! I have one clarification for you, the LOCKITRON does NOT support NFC like it was presented. According to their website Lockitron will ship you an NFC token (if there is enough Interest) that will trigger their app to open your door. Seems like a buzzword feature add to me. I am still excited to see more on this unit and hope it works as well as they say. (Occasionally in the chat room as SkyGeek) Thanks TNT keep up the good work! Kevin

70		Hey, Kyle from South Korea. It's super easy for many normal customers to say "oh, I can just go to google map website or download (name here) app. why do people complain?" But, did they realize that it's a hell of a nightmare for the developers? Every app that uses the embedded map is now screwed. ex1) A student develops an app for gathering HW buddies using a map of campus and the pin feature. He's screwed if the iOS6 map doesn't have detailed enough map for the campus ex2) A restaurant suggestion app is virtually unusable. Launch Yelp on iPad and see how messed up the map is. I heard some of small developers who relied on the embedded map now feel suicidal because the map lacks detail for their countries and cities. This is BAD

72		TNT Crew, On Monday's show, you were ripping on the idea of movie projectors in cars. Now I don't know how jenky these specific ones are, but as someone who helped a friend wire one into his car, having them built-in is a huge convenience! Now, why was I doing this? Because as soon as I hit 16, I wanted to get out of the house! And as it ends up, if you want to watch a movie in your house, there are parents...but if you watch them in the car, no parents! It's a no-brainer for any one between the age of 13 & "I have my own place" :p Back in the day we even hooked up an FM transmitter so we could get a group of cars & have everyone watch & listen (if we didn't wanna pile into ). There was also an abandoned grocery store (never finished construction due to contract issues, but it had plenty of brick walls that weren't underground like the parking garage in the demo) where we could, and usually did, go to watch movies. Maybe it's not a setup for everybody, but I can't imagine high school without it! <> Mink

74		That car projector from TNT #597 does have one good practical use: tailgating. My brother was just asking me how he could use a power inverter + projector + laptop w/ tv tuner to watch football while tailgating. Problem solved. :) Maurice West Philly

MoviePass founder Stacy Spikes: “We definitely will never share specific user data, but we do think letting a theater know that this demographic is going more often, or this demographic you’re losing, or ‘You did this promotion and we saw an uptake there’, that type of information will be part of our system.” - first attempt at a subscription service was based on smartphone vouchers, but that didn’t go down well with exhibitors, who said the all-you-can-watch model undermined their ticket pricing, according to Variety. Its August pivot to the print-at-home voucher system, done in partnership with Hollywood Movie Money, didn’t work out either.

47		- yesterday someone noticed Apple has changed its iOS developer guidelines, adding clause: “Apps that display Apps other than your own for purchase or promotion in a manner similar to or confusing with the App Store will be rejected.” for example FreeAppADay, Daily App Dream, etc - devs use marketing tools to get their app featured, get a bunch of downloads, cover cost of marketing, and come out ahead.	But another change in iOS 6 pointed out by a developer contact suggests that Apple wants developers to help it sell mobile software: a new object available developers allows apps to display other items on the App Store, including other apps, for purchase directly. - From the Overview of SKStoreProductView Controller Class Reference, part of the iOS Developer Library: A SKStoreProductViewController object presents a store that allows the user to purchase other media from the App Store. For example, your app might display the store to allow the user to purchase another app.

From that screen shot, it looks like it only works on a plain white wall, which means you'll be tearing your hair, franticly driving round to find a brick wall that is white in the country, just ti watch your favourite flick...

15	bb	HP made official the mysterious tablet that had been showing up in their ads during the Olympics.

37		- Oracle CEO Larry Ellison laid out the company’s new all-red infrastructure-as-a-service cloud plan at Oracle OpenWorld on Sunday night at Moscone center in SF: - Oracle joining public infrastructure as a service (IaaS) business — the market dominated by Amazon Web Services - For banks and other companies with requirements to run infrastructure in house, Oracle will offer a private cloud based on the exact same technology and run and manage it customer data centers - Oracle 12c (the “c” stands for cloud) database will be the software foundation and Ellison said this iteration of the database will put multitenancy — the ability to securely keep separate sets of data in one place — at the database level - The hardware foundation for Oracle Cloud will be Exadata X3, a new “engineered system” which packs 26TB of memory — 4TB of DRAM and 22TB of Flash memory	Oracle cloud will use “our OS, our VM, our compute services and storage services on the fastest most reliable systems in the world — our engineered systems, Exadata, Exalogic, Exalytics, all linked with Infiniband" - “Back in 1998 and 1999 when NetSuite and Salesforce.com came out, the only way to do multitenancy was at the application layer,” Ellison said, adding that he had problems with that – he Ellison used to blast competitors’ user of multitenancy, calling it an aging technology. That apparently all changes now. (Ellison had stakes in NetSuite and Salesforce.com, both pioneering SaaS companies and still owns a big piece of NetSuite.) - NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson tells GigaOM: “NetSuite wouldn’t choose to run our application on anyone’s public cloud — Oracle’s, Microsoft’s, or Amazon’s. We need to manage every aspect of our infrastructure to ensure service level commitments we have made to our customers.”

12	tm	Even Apple admits their maps aren't all they shouold be. Apple CEO Tim Cook posted a public letter on Apple's website apologising for falling short with Apple Maps. Cook put the blame squarely on Apple and said while they work to make Apple Maps better users might want to try out the Bing, Mapquest or Waze apps or even go to the Web to use Google or Nokia maps. With antennagate Apple gave out free cases, maybe with Mapplegate Apple should give out free atlases?	http://www.apple.com/letter-from-tim-cook-on-maps/
13	sl	Facebook has started rolling out its new Gifts service that allows users to choose, mail and pay for real-world, physical gifts, and send them to their friends. They'll be tied to events like birthdays and anniversaries, but you can give a gift at any time for any reason. The most interesting part is Gifts will be available via mobile, which has been Facebook's biggest money-making challenge since going public earlier this year.	http://www.usatoday.com/tech/story/2012/09/27/facebook-gifts/57848912/1
14	tm	Sony has ridden to the rescue agreeing to become the biggest shareholder in Olympus with an investment of 50 billion yen or about $645 million US. You may think of Olympus as a camera-maker but Olympus controls about 70 percent of the world’s market for medical endoscopes. That revenue could help Sony make up for losses in TV money. Olympus has been looking for a partner to help it recover from a $1.7 billion accounting scandal.	http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/sony-agrees-to-acquire-stake-in-olympus/
15	sl	RIM announced their quarter 2 earnings yesterday and beat Wall Street's expectations with a net loss of $235M dollars, or 45 cents per share. Sounds crazy, but it's actually good news. Analysts had predicted 46 cents per share, and it's also significantly better than last quarter, when the Waterloo, Ontario-based company lost $518 million. But don't call it a comeback. The company earned $329 million, or 63 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/09/research-in-motion-lost-less-than-expected-in-second-quarter/
16	tm	T-Mobile USA has agreed to sell the farm. The cell tower farm that is. Crown Castle will pay $2.4 billion for the rights to use T-Mobile's network of 7,200 cellular towers in the US. The money will help T-Mobile pay to roll out LTE service. It's sort of a rent-to-own deal. Crown Castle will run the towers for 28 years with an option to acquire them at the end by paying another $2.4 billion.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57522187-94/t-mobile-leases-7000-cell-towers-to-crown-castle-for-$2.4b/
17	sl	Multiple sources tell Bloomberg that Dish Network is talking to multiple networks about offering their channels over the Internet. The idea is to offer consumers more choices to buy programming they actually want, and could change the dynamics of the pay- television business, breaking up the bundles that force customers to pay for channels they don’t watch, like potentially, sports, which is unsurprisingly, expensive for Dish to grab rights for.	http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-09-27/dish-said-to-be-in-talks-with-viacom-about-internet-tv
18	tm	ICM registry has suffered a lot since winning the contract to solely administer the .xxx domain. But the lawsuits and protests and censorship will all prove worth it if people like the company's search engine. Search.xxx will not only give you a separate way to search the domain, but scans for malware and allows you to narrow the search to your tastes.	http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelhumphrey/2012/09/27/porn-ghetto-or-safe-haven-xxx-gets-a-search-engine/
19	sl	Samsung Acer, Dell, HP Asus and other Intel and Microsoft partners showed up for the Intel-hosted event at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on Thursday to showcase upcoming Windows 8 tablets and hybrid laptops that use Intel's dual-core, 1.8GHz System-on-a-Chip (SoC) formerly code named Clover Trail. The Atom Z2760 (pictured) will be released on Oct. 26.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410306,00.asp
20	tm	When's the last time we had a good DigiTimes rumor? Well not only do we have one but it's about a n ANDROID tablet. Digitimes reports Google is workign with Asus on two new version of the Nexus 7 set to hit markets by the end of the year. A thinner version of the current Nexus 7 would go for $199 and another model would sell for only 99 bucks! Asustek has denied the reports, according to Digitimes, but hey, why let that stop a good rumour!	http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120926PD232.html
21	sl	While App.net makes users pay $50 a year to have an account, developers are going to get a cut of that cash! Dalton Caldwell and company introduced a developer incentive program that rewards app-makers with at least $20,000 each month if they make apps that people love. Starting October 1, App.net will survey its users to help determine a rating for apps. That rating will determine what share of the money a developer can receive.	http://venturebeat.com/2012/09/27/app-net-developer-incentive-program/

With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment.

41	sl	Dish Said to Be in Talks With Viacom About Internet TV	http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-09-27/dish-said-to-be-in-talks-with-viacom-about-internet-tv
42		- 5 people familiar with the matter tell Bloomberg Dish Network is talking to networks such as Viacom's MTV, Spanish-language broadcaster Univision Communications Inc. and Scripps Networks Interactive, owner of the Food Network and HGTV about offering their channels over the Internet - The companies would offer an online product known as an over-the-top service, charging a lower price for a smaller bundle of channels viewable on a computer or tablet. - Gets Dish out of paying for sports if customer doesn't want it. ESPN gets as much as $5.13 each month for every cable and satellite subscriber, compared with the industry’s average of 26 cents, according to SNL Kagan. - unlike Netflix and Hulu, this would be online LIVE offering - would decrease Dish's reliance on its satellite-TV service (#2 to DirectTV in US) -	-Cable networks don't like breaking up their suite of channels and sell them a la carte because it would lower the amount of available advertising inventory. Viacom and other cable networks typically sell ads at a lower rate than the big broadcast networks so more volume is crucial - Viacom would be willing to sell smaller bundles of its networks, which also include Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, at a higher rate per channel than it does for its full complement of programming, according to two executives familiar with the situation. - Several pay-TV operators, including Dish and Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), already offer cheaper packages that don’t include sports. not hugely popular - Nielsen doesn’t measure online video the same way it does with television. That makes it harder to track how many people are watching and sell advertising based on that audience.

Then he removed the link to TPB and STILL got a bot response back - TechDirt posted a story and 5 hours later Google reinstated his site. He has a direct link to the torrent file (but not any tracker sites) But that doidn't work for me.

76		TNT Team, I'm a huge TNT fan and listen to the show most every day. Keep up the good work! I was interested in your piece on Zeebox, the app that describes itself as "your TV sidekick – an interactive second screen that makes TV more social, clever, and fun." When I went to the iTunes Store on my iPad to install it, I noticed that Apple has begun featuring a prominent link to the developer's privacy policy. Is this new or just a layout change? Anyway, I am a tech law attorney who works in the privacy area, so occasionally I actually read them! zeebox has a VERY interesting privacy policy: http://zeebox.com/help/privacy-and-cookies Of particular note is their position on deleting the personal data they collect, which says, "If you ... would like to access or delete your data held by us (which you have the right to do subject to a small charge [emphasis mine]) or correct any inaccuracies, please email us at info@zeebox.com and we will respond as promptly as we can." They are going to charge me to delete my account data?! Now that's bold. And it's the kind of thing that will ensure we eventually get draconian privacy legislation. Needless to say, I won't be installing this app! -- Handy Andy in Atlanta

It come at a time when app maker Rovio's revenue has hit the skids, and another recent app from the company, Amazing Alex, haven't had a fraction of the success that Angry Birds has had. But fans of the birds will probably like piggies too. The levels aren't too challenging, yet it’s still a mentally challenging game in terms of physics. Bad Piggies is in Apple's app store and Google Pay store for $0.99.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/27/rovios-bad-piggies-goes-live-in-the-app-store-build-bridges-dont-burn-them/

16	sl	This is starting to feel like Groundhog Day. Multiple sources tell All Things D that Apple was forced to replace Google Maps with its own maps app, because of the lack of Voice-guided turn-by-turn driving directions in the iOS version, especially since it's been a standard feature in Android's OS for a few years. Apple apparently pushed Google hard to provide the data it needed to bring voice-guided navigation to iOS. Sources say Google wanted more control as well, like in-app branding. Apple said no. Google wanted to add Google Latitude. Apple said no. Apple was also concerned that Google was gathering too much user data from the app. Long story short, the two are not friends, will not play together on the schoolyard, and will not be invited to each other's birthdays.	http://allthingsd.com/20120926/apple-google-maps-talks-crashed-over-voice-guided-directions/

I apologize to New Zealanders because every New Zealander… is entitled to be protected from the law when it comes to the GCSB (Government Communications Security Bureau), and we failed to provide that appropriate protection for him.” - Surveillance of Dotcom was done as if he were a foreign national, when in fact he had acquired residency. Surveillance was done ahead of the raid on his home to assess dangers. - New Zealand’s Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Paul Neazor found that a NZ security service did indeed wrongfully spy on Kim Dotcom and associate Bram van der Kolk. GCSB had thought Dotcom still had one mor estep to take to attain resident status. - US still seeking extradition. Meanwhile Dotcom planning to launch new service which we mentioned yesterday - Dotcom took to twitter following the apology and called on President Obama to “be good, fix the Megaupload mess, be the Internet hero, win another term with Mega users & I help Hollywood.” QUESTION: Paul, how do you feel now that the Prime Minister has apologised to you? Was the iPhone 5 or Dotcom news bigger yesterday? QUESTION: How many lives does Dotcom have left?

50		- WSJ wrote a strange article, main point is that Apple wants to control TV industry but will fail - says Video-content owners, including everyone from the TV networks and Hollywood and the NFL and Major League Baseball, aren't the music industry or even the book industry. Video-content owners aren't looking for a savior and ultimately won't be satisfied with anything less than an open ecosystem accessible by any device. key point: "To maintain its position, the company will have to focus more on giving its devices superb access to content it doesn't control and hasn't approved." - fast broadband is what's plaguing a new TV model: "Notice that virtually every effort to bring Americans superfast broadband so far has been married with TV: cable's bundled offers; AT&T's U-verse product; Verizon's FiOS fiber product. Even Google at the last minute discovered that it needs a TV offering to assure adequate take-up of the fiber it is rolling out in its Kansas City demonstration project."	Forbes reply: "Two years ago, in a column entitled "The Microsofting of Apple?", he excoriated Apple for rolling out "increasingly junky devices" (referring to the iPad) and for making a strategic decision to "cut off its users from a huge amount of Web content" (referring to mobile Flash)."

77		TNT Crew, I don't understand why everyone is so confused by Apple's decision to dump Google Maps in iOS 6. As everyone has noted, via their anger over 'Maps', Maps/Directions are one of the most vital functions of a smartphone today. Even if Apple had convinced Google to provide Turn-by-Turn in iOS, their current agreement would have ended next year. At that point, who thinks Google would have given Apple even remotely reasonable terms for continued use of their services? If Apple waits until that point they would have had to scramble even more to produce and even lousier product, or even worse... completely lost mapping capabilities if Google decided to pull the plug on them. This way Apple takes Google "By Surprise" and is able to leverage it's install base to help improve their product before Google has a chance to release an alternative. On top of that, their approach of using Helper Apps to overlay Transit and other navigation is brilliant. It means they don't have to create the service, but they still control the user experience and get all the valuable data. I predict whichever Transit Helper is most widely accepted becomes integrated into Maps in iOS 7, so that even though they aren't providing the service they can tout their superior offerings. Apple's conduit method has always proven successful, and this is just another example. "Provide a beautiful interface and seamless gateway, then let 3rd party lead the way." Would love to hear what you guys, and Sarah, think. Boggles my mind that people are so stunned by this move. Faithful TWiT/TNT follower, - Torv

The goal of Megabox is to give the public access to free music and compensate artists through advertising revenue. - It looks as though artists and consumers can create separate profiles - Artists can share as much music as they like - Megabox would allow artists to sell their own music and keep 90% of the revenue - The video shows an “Exclusive Artists” section. The artists shown in that section are The Black Keys, Rusko, Two Fingers and Will.i.am (could be just a mockup) - TorrentFreak asked Dotcom if those were indeed launch partner, but Dotcom said he couldn’t share that info yet - The way Megabox makes money - the Megakey app: it works like an ad blocker, but replaces a percentage of ads with Mega’s ads. If you don’t install the app, you’ve got to buy the music.

76		Hi guys, As an experimental psychologist I am more excited about the coming website that will have slices of HM's brain. Henry Molaison had area CA1 of his hippocampus lesioned in the early 50s to control epilepsy. They did not know at the time that the Hp is very important in consolidating episodic memories. When Canadian psychologist, Brenda Milner of the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill tested HM on his episodic memory he was found to have none past the operation. She had to introduce herself to him each time she worked with him, each day. He could learn stuff, but he would not remember learning it. This discovery was very important to the development of cognitive neuroscience. Brenda actually was a guest on an early Futures in Biotech with Marc Pelletier and me. As an aside, she is a big Montreal Canadiens fan…. (and I am sure she is as upset as I am about the lockout in the NHL). Dave -- David R Brodbeck, PhD Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology Algoma University	Tom, You misspoke on Tuesday's show regarding Einstein's brain. He didn't donate it to science, it was stolen by the doctor that performed the autopsy. Thomas Harvey understood the significance of Einstein's brain, so he stuck it in a jar and took it home. The whole story of how he kept it in a mayonnaise jar for years and how he drove around the country with it in his car is kind of funny. Here's a pretty good explanation on io9 that follows other sources I have read: http://io9.com/5836056/the-stolen-preserved-and-eventually-cubed-brain-of-albert-einstein

78		I work for an MSO (don’t disclose my email account). TiVo hardware is twice and even three times as expensive for MSO’s to purchase than other vender set top boxes. Making ROI to high. Add in the chronic compatibility and VOD issues and this box is not a good fit for cable providers to issue. Yes TiVo has many compelling features that I truly enjoyed but in the end it’s a retail device. Hopefully someday there will be a low cost, high spec, and user friendly UI unit brought to market. That will meet both needs of MSO and the features for customers. Naultarous

80		I love listening to your tech news, but I am often amazed at how different my life is from yours. The Tesla story really make me laugh out loud. There's no way I would ever drive a car that forced me to stop every 3 hours to charge for 30 minutes. First, who drives only 60 mph on a road trip? The speed limit on most freeways is 70 mph and you know most people go at least 5 mph over the speed limit. So I infer that at those speeds I'd have to stop to recharge more often than every 3 hours. So let's say every 2.5 hours. Seriously? I live in Atlanta. My sister lives in middle Florida, 6 - 7 hours away. I have often gotten in the car around 3:00 to drive down to her house and not stopped until I got to her house (or, rather, the gas station closest to her house). Granted, this was back when I drove a Camry instead of the stupid Grand Marquis I'm stuck driving now. But based on the fact that I'm annoyed that my current car runs out of gas in less than 7 hours, there's NO WAY I would ever buy a car that ran out of charge in 2.5 hours. Obviously, the story is worth reporting. But the solution is not even close to being realistic yet. Meredith	<-- might be good with the tesla story up in discussion

The company will launch a Nook-branded store, that like Amazon and Google, will sell TV shows and movies for sale or rent from studios like Disney, HBO, Sony, Starz and Warner Bros. Nook's Video service will also store digital copies of DVD and Blu-Rray discs through the Ultraviolet system.	http://allthingsd.com/20120925/barnes-noble-nook-going-beyond-e-books-launches-digital-video-service/

This means the Galaxy Nexus is unaffected, but the Galaxy S II is at risk. Tweakers.net claims they've replicated the issue on a Galaxy S Advance as well. As for Samsung? They're looking into the issue.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/dirty-ussd-code-samsung-hack-wipe/

The biggest feature is BlackBerry Hub which puts together all Twitter, Facebook, email and pretty much whatever you want in one big place. RIM made a big deal out the fact you can access the hub from anywhere with just one gesture that you can do with one thumb. RIM showed the OS running on the latest dev phone called the Dev Alpha B handset. The BB10 phones are still on schedule.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/rim-unveils-blackberry-10-peek-features/
15	tm	Even though the iPhone 5 sold a record 5 million, everyone seems to agree they could have sold more, considering the demand. Bloomberg reports the culprit may have been the decision to use in-cell screen technology to combine the display and touch sensor into one part. LG has had trouble supplying the number of parts required, though Sharp is ramping up production to add to the supply. Meanwhile Apple has started allowing customers to reserve an iPhone online after 10PM for pickup at an Apple store the next day.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-25/apple-use-of-thin-display-seen-driving-iphone-5-supply-shortfall.html

20	sl	The FCC has yet to comment on AT&T's decision to limit FaceTime over cellular connections, but FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has suggested a complaint review is on the way, and that if a good-faith effort to resolve the issue "doesn't lead to a resolution and a complaint is filed, we will exercise our responsibilities and we will act." Net Neutrality experts are already all over that, and are claiming that the FCC's Open Internet rules prohibit arbitrarily limiting a service like FaceTime over specific networks. Several of these groups filed a formal complaint with the FCC over FaceTime blocking on the grounds that it harms customers, especially for those with disabilities and families overseas.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/25/3404938/fcc-julius-genachowski-att-facetime

52		- roundtable event Monday- Ev Williams, founder, former CEO, current board member, says "The thing I think would be more interesting than followers is... retweets," clarifying that a simple measure of followers "doesn't capture your distribution." "The dream metric," he said, "is how many people saw your tweet." - API changes help Twitter gets back control of engagement. Twitter could "measure whether or not a tweet was requested in a timeline". not just public, but public and read - would minimize the bloat of following, make the fake follower market less powerful - Twitter says 40% of users who log in on a regular basis never tweet. just lurkers, not fake - Twitter currently offers partners engagment tool that could mimic what users see down the road. mentions, follows, unfollows, faves, replies, etc.

76		Hello all, Love the show. Tom you had mentioned you did not understand how Tivo is still around. My opinion is Tivo is the do everything set top box that everyone seems to want, yet is already here. It supports the most popular on demand services -- Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, Netflix, and YouTube. It also supports video podcast subscriptions. In fact it is how I watch Tech News Today. And with a simple multi stream cable card popped in it does something none of the trendy boxes like Roku can touch -- record/pause all your live TV shows from of course any cable network. Add to that a simple proven Apple-like interface no other DVR has, and you have a real winner. Keep up the good work guys, Thanks, - Sean Harrell (sent via BlackBerry)

78		Hi TNT crew. One major point was missing in Friday's discussion of IFTTT shutting down Twitter triggers: content ownership. With Instagram and Tumblr, Twitter asserted that they own my social graph and I cannot share who I follow with another service unless it provides value to Twitter too. With the clause under which IFTTT is shutting down their triggers they claim ownership of my content. It's not about having to find a new way to post my tweets to Google calender or Evernote; it's about Twitter taking the content that I produced and dictating where I can use that content. People should be more angry about this! You added value to Twitter by contributing content, but they are preventing you from doing things with that content that give you value, unless it adds even more value to Twitter. It's MY content, it's MY social graph, not theirs! I can't wait for Twitter's coming export tool. Twitter has until that day to convince me that what they're doing isn't wrong. I know that one guy with 250 followers deleting his account is meaningless to Twitter, but I feel like I'm the victim of a bait and switch and I cannot continue to support a company that acts like this. I can find my news and have my conversations elsewhere. -Jeff, Knoxville TN

Apple says it sold 5 million iPhone 5s over three days which is eithe rth ebest sales ever or a disappointing shortfall of expectations, depending on who you ask. Among the controversies, were the ever-stewing Apple Maps complaints, reports that retail stores got many fewer iPhones to sell than Apple stores, and scratch-gate due to the anodized aluminum case.

Around 2k workers took part, but the reasons range from spats between workers from different provinces to an uprising against plant security. Foxconn has released a statement indicating that the riot started as a personal disagreement between factory workers which was brought under control by police, but some reports coming in from users of China's version of Twitter, Sina Weibo, claim security guards were beating one or more workers.

What has gone unreported is that since the 17th September 2012 ban on youtube, there are other google services which are not working particularly on the mobile. For instance I and many other can not log in to google market or play store. For instance the e-mail is not getting updated on google app in the mobile but works in the mail client of the mobile company. Can you please let me know if you have heard from others on this and why this would be so. Regards Saud Piracha

Nokia’s forthcoming Lumia 920 smartphone will feature both, but they’re also being used by Yahoo, Microsoft’s Bing and Amazon. In a dig at Apple, Nokia assured users "we truly understand that maps and location-based apps must be accurate, provide the best quality and be accessible basically anywhere. That’s been standard practice at Nokia for the past six years, and we also understand that ‘pretty isn’t enough.”	http://allthingsd.com/20120921/nokia-map-apps-cant-be-built-overnight-just-look-at-apples/

78		My problem with texting while driving laws is that they punish such specific behavior while ignoring other distracting behaviors. I've seen people driving while reading books, doing crossword puzzles, applying makeup, eating fast food, etc. If we're going to make new laws, they should regulate distracted driving in general instead of one specific distraction. Of course, the real issue is that these are all activities people would rather be doing instead of operating a car. The only thing that's going to solve it for good is when we get our driverless cars! -Justin	Under California's vehicle code, a driver can be ticketed $145 to $1,000 for having "wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property."

Some towns appear to be missing, or in wrong location, - BBC notes some towns in Scotland are obscured by clouds, A search for Manchester United Football Club directs users to Sale United Football Club, a community team for ages five and above. - Macworld searched for Eiffel Tower correctly located it in France, but searching for Notre Dame while looking at a Paris map tried to send me to South Bend, Indiana. Apple’s points of interest database doesn't have as much depth as Google’s. This will continue to propogate but bad now - Ireland’s Minister for Justice Alan Shatter says a farm called Airfield is listed as an airport, dangerous to pilots and locals, “Clearly the designation is not only wrong but is dangerously misleading in that it could result in a pilot, unfamiliar with the area, in an emergency situation and without other available information, attempting a landing.” - TomTom says it's just a foundation, the user experience is Apple's job. - TO CORRECT MISTAKES Swipe the page curl and then tap the small Report a Problem link above the Print button; the subsequent form provides a variety of different ways to correct the listed information.	- no G map app yet. Will there be? would G hold out just to make the iPhone a worse expereince? - SearchEngineland got this quote from G: "We believe Google Maps are the most comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps in the world. Our goal is to make Google Maps available to everyone who wants to use it, regardless of device, browser, or operating system." - WHAT'S GOOD: little icons that identify businesses, restaurants, schools, etc. Tap for address, contact information, Yelp reviews and photos where available; for more info, you can jump out to the Yelp app. Google Maps on the Web has offered a features like this for some time, but they never made their way to the iOS app.	Hello, It seems that the general agreement is that the new mapping application is not as good as the google maps one. But did Apple really think no one would notice that you can no longer get directions on public transit? As a blind individual, I do not drive anywhere. I relied on Google Maps with its ability to route me from my current location(it would know that, I did not need to) to anywhere else, by pub trans or by foot. Now that Apple has removed the ability to route via public transit and no longer recognizes current location as a starting point, the new app has no value whatsoever to me. I am very disappointed/frustrated that Apple would remove this very useful functionality. Hopefully I can find another, but it is unlikely to do as well as the Google application did nor be as accessible. Annoyed Blind person, Bill

52		- Randall L. Stephenson, the chairman and CEO of AT&T, a conference in NY to hundreds of major investors - said an interview that a few years ago someone close to him caused an accident while texting, now ppl tell him their stories - history shows that public service campaigns have had limited success on issues like drunken driving or seat belt use unless they are paired with strong laws, something Mr. Stephenson OPPOSES. ATT used to lobby against laws to curb driver distraction. National Safety Council says at least they're changing their tune - Stephenson says market-driven solutions > legislative ones. changing the culture is key. **Verizon supports state and federal legislation to ban texting by drivers - 39 states ban texting while driving. Research shows that the activity sharply increases the risk of a crash, even beyond the risk posed by someone driving with a .08 blood alcohol level	- The smartphone “is a product we sell and it’s being used inappropriately.” For him, that means the company he runs has to get involved in a public awareness campaign. “We have got to drive behavior.” - On Sept. 30, AT&T will offer a free, revised version of its DriveMode app for Android and BlackBerry phones that will automatically disable texting when the phone is traveling more than 25 mph. No iPHone app - ATT's campaign "it can wait" spreading awareness since 2010. company not saying what it's spending on campaign

That piece is called "Stock Android Isn't Perfect: These are The things I can't stand about jelly bean." - The post complained about inconsistent usages of the back button, inconsistent navigation menus (some are still Gingerbread themed), icons launching the wrong apps, different sized icons - Duarte came from the Palm and helped put together webOS Q: If Android is only 1/3 done, what changes do we expect?

84		I just watched the movie you referenced that was filmed through Google Glass. While there were some intentional edits that added to the jarring motion, I completely agree that watching that full screen was too much to take--even for the few seconds that they showed continuous motion. It was particularly bad as the women were walking down the runway. It is interesting to see just how much movement your eyes and brain have learned how to compensate for while walking or making basic movements. In any event, if this is what the recording experience is going to be like with Google Glass, they may want to look into some optical image stabilization. Richard Gunther

86		While not the only factor internationally, the reason for the diverse release dates in North America is because they are being bundled with specific games. The US 250gig model comes out first because it comes with Uncharted 3, a game that is already out. The 500gig model will be released October 30th because it comes with Assassins creed 3, which comes out on... you guessed it! October 30th. To my knowledge both colors will come out simultaneously. This bundling also makes up, to some degree, for the prices, since both games(AC3 especially) are still full price AAA releases. I see no reason for the staggered launches elsewhere, but I would assume its for marketing reasons, not manufacturing ones. Faiz[fez]

CNET - "It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe." SlashGear - "best balance of everyday usability and performance, without the distraction of functionality that is clever but unintuitive" Time - "The iPhone 5 is one terrific smartphone. Ignore the naysayers" Pocket-Lint - "The iPhone 5 is a phone that makes you feel safe." CBC - "The iPhone 5 may not be terribly innovative, but it does deliver that package better than any previous Apple produc" T3 - " It’s good, very good. But it’s no longer the best around."

46		Better Mobile Ads Won't Fix Facebook's Mobile Problem	http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/better-mobile-ads-wont-fix-facebooks-mobile-problem.php
47		- Facebook is testing its own mobile ad network. Advertisers can pay to target you with ads for app stores or websites based on your FB data. - FB won't say who the advertisers, ad exchanges, ad networks, or publishers involved - banner and interstitial ads targeted by your FB data within non-Facebook mobile iOS and Android apps plus mobile websites where you’ve authenticated with FB. age, gender, location, Likes, friends who’ve used an advertiser’s app - Advertisers set a bid they’re willing to pay FB to reach a certain demo. FB syncs its anonymous user IDs with several mobile ad exchanges it works as an additional layer on top of. When a FB user goes somewhere where these exchanges have placements, the exchange instantly sends Facebook that user’s ID and asks if there’s a bid set to target them. If yes, Facebook pays the ad exchange some portion of the bid, and the ad is shown to the user. (all anon, not social)	WHY THIS IS BIG: FB has super accurate user data. doesn't have to do any work, just takes a cut of ad exchange for offering up what it already has. advertiser prefers FB data to anyone else's - Facebook tells TC privacy was “top of mind” when designing the new ads program and no personally identifiable information is ever shared with third parties.

Beyond that, SalahEldeen and Nelson say the world loses 0.02% of its culturally significant social media material every day.	- Gnip, a social data API aggregation company which sells social data to third-party analysts and marketers through its API has new "historical powertrack" product, offer the entirety of all archived tweets available for outside analysis. - contextualize a given search term throughout the entirety of Twitter’s history, perhaps seeing the impact (or lack thereof) different marketing campaigns have had generating social media buzz.

79		Hey TNT crew its Hosko from Sydney, Aus. I must admit that google glasses is cool however the reaction to the behind the scene fashion show video is a little over the top. What makes the concept of google glasses cool is augmented reality. Purely recording video isn't new. Here in Australia the company I work for has been using camera in glasses for the last year live in our sport broadcasts. There seems to be a lot of hype over a small feature of the overall product. Where is the facial recognition, GPS navigation or distances to objects. The only demos so far have been of the camera which frankly is the easiest part to get working. I know it's only early days but to me it's just hype. - Adam Hoskins	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTXY-lC5lDk&feature=youtube_gdata_player	VIDEO

Just a follow up, Talked to my friend about the company he used to work for (Virage). It seems they were acquired by Autonomy... then Autonomy was acquired by HP.

76		Hey TNT crew, I just finished watching Friday's episode and want to give my 2 cents for the OS choice for HP if they do pull the trigger on a phone. I think they almost have to go with Windows Phone 8. Not that I think WebOS or Android aren't good OSes or anything, but WP8 would fit in line with their whole "ecosystem" attempt with WebOS during its launch. If you remember, they touted the benefits of owning both a Palm Pre and a Touch Pad for direct communications, etc. and what better way to do that than with an HP WP8 device and some HP centric system? Especially when we already know they're building several Windows 8 PCs and laptops which will more than likely already talk to WP8 devices. So why reinvent the wheel when it's already there later this year with a legit Windows Phone OS? That's just my 2 cents. Love the show! - Eric Howard

78		While a paid like seems nefarious because there is no info about it, I have seen tweets with a little #ad hash tag, and my wife reviews items on her blog with full disclosure. I think if that disclosure is there, it should be fine. My problem is when, disclosure or no, the "reviewer" speaks so glowingly, it is obvious they want to continue getting free stuff to review. A few times my wife has contacted a rep and asked if they really wanted her to review the item, because it wasn't going to be positive at all. If only everyone was just honest and not our for their own gain. Sent from the palm of my hand. -Justin Lowmaster

76	sl	Hey guys, A few weeks ago you mentioned that EE (Everything Everywhere) will be the first network in the UK to roll out a LTE service. What you may have missed, and now find interesting, is that the other networks in the UK are very upset about this development. Why? Well it seems that EE have managed to sidestep a spectrum auction by reusing some spare spectrum they have as a result of the T-Mobile/Orange merger. The other networks are annoyed further as it appears Ofcom, the regulator, seems to be making only slow progress on arranging a spectrum auction. Here's a pretty informative article with a far better explanation than I could ever offer: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19584021 Have a great day, rosscbrown	http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19584021

32		Why do Sprint and Verizon phones not do calls and data simultaneously? Brian Chen for the NYTimes has a great article explaining - LTE networks can't currently do voice, ATT, Sprint and Verizon have to route all voice calls over 3G - On AT&T this is GSM which can do voice and data simultaneously. - For Sprint and Verizon this is CDMA with EVDO standard which is data-only instead of EVDV which does data and voice. - How does SGSIII do it? Extra antenna that pulls in LTE data while voice goes over CDMA. - Apple has two antennae to improve reception, it would have to shoehorn in a third.	No 800MHz or 2.6 GHz band support means no LTE in many countries like France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and more.

52	ia	How Your Wireless Carrier Overcharges You	http://www.technologyreview.com/news/429181/how-your-wireless-carrier-overcharges-you/
53		University of California, Los Angeles, computer science PhD researcher Chunyi Peng probed the systems of two large U.S. cell-phone networks - The researchers determined that even typical use of a phone could lead the data to be overcounted by 5 to 7 percent, - The problem stems from the way networks count data use. They count data as it leaves the heart of a company's network and sets out on the journey to the mobile tower nearest a subscriber. That means data is counted whether a phone receives it or not. - The problem affects video and audio streaming apps in particular because they use protocols that don't require the receiving device to acknowledge the receipt of every chunk of data, as Web browsers or many other apps do. - The researchers also found that data use can be hidden from the two cellular networks they tested. Ex: DNS request - An app developed to exploit that was able to use 200 megabytes of data without the carrier recording any of it, a tactic that mobile carriers would probably like to block.

19	sl	Researchers have identified a security weakness that allows them to hijack web browser sessions even while behind HTTPS encryption that banks and e-commerce sites use to secure sensitive transactions. The technique exploits sessions protected by the Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols when they use one of two data-compression schemes for easing network congestion or faster page loading. Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox are all apparently immune to the attack, but smartphone browsers and other applications that rely on TLS are believed to remain vulnerable.	http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/09/crime-hijacks-https-sessions/

40		- VP Phil Schiller - Passbook alone does what most customers want and works without existing merchant payment systems. "It’s not clear that NFC is the solution to any current problem. Passbook does the kinds of things customers need today.” NFC is in high-end phones, like the Galaxy S III and Nokia 920, but consumers don’t have many apps and use and merchants still need to make more investments in hardware to handle NFC payments. - Schiller on wireless charging: wireless charging systems still have to be plugged into the wall, so it’s not clear how much convenience they add. The widely-adopted USB cord, meanwhile, can charge in wall outlets, computers and even on airplanes - Schiller said it simply wasn’t possible to build products as thin as the new iPhones and iPods without changing the cord. Hence, the new “Lightning” connector. Schiller said that Apple is serious about the 9-pin connector. “This is the new connector for many years to come,” he said.	Molly Wood at Cnet: proprietary connector is bad for consumers/environment: Apple was, as of last year, actually supporting the International Electronics Commission's push for a universal, micro-USB charging standard. Lightning to USB is USB 2.0. not fast. not all 30-pin devices will be supported, and it won't carry video or iPod-out signals, or analog audio signals. iPhone 5: Launching in 9 countries Sept. 21, 22 more on Sept. 28, and reaching a total of more than 100 countries by the end of December.

47		Sen. Patrick Leahy introducing a bill today to the Senatae Judiciary Committee to give email on remote servers same privacy protection as at home - revising the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). - Under 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy act email not downloaded after 180 days is considered "abandoned" and doesn't require a warrant. Not good for cloud services. Leahy's bill would require probable cause. Wiretapping WON'T require a warrant for five more years. 301 to 118 decision, the US House of Representatives has voted in favor of the FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of 2012 - Now goes to the Senate. - FISA is supervised by secret FISA courts whose proceedings are confidential.

51		Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy (CRIME) - devised by researchers Juliano Rizzo and Thai Duong - Browser must support TLS (Transport Layer Security) Compression OR SPDY (Google adn Twitter) - Site accessed must also support SPDY or TLS 42% of sites support TLS (Qualys told AT) - IE, Chrome and Firefox believed immune. - Smartphone browsers and other software that relies on TLS may be vulnerable - Use of TLS compression in smaller browsers unknown. Safari unknown (doe snot use SPDY) - Video by researchers showed GitHub, Dropbox and Stripe.com succumbing to attack. They have sinced disabled compression. - Same researchers discovered BEAST last year. Mix clear-text under attackers control with the encrypted text to see how it reacts, deduce content - brute force against session cookie, impersonate user from there. Take s afew minutes. - CRIME forces a web browser to compress and encrypt requests that contain attacker-controlled data that is combined with the cookie secret. If one of the requests produces fewer encrypted network packets, that's an indication there's more redundancy in the request, and hence the attacker data and the secret data have more information in common. - Rizzo and Duong are scheduled to demonstrate CRIME on September 21 at the Ekoparty security conference in Buenos Aires.	Aim of this attack is likely state sponsors not coffee shop snoopers

54		- UK-based MusicTank (network group for music industry) has released report on “the hidden cost of digital music consumption”, which examines energy used by the emerging cloud media access model. - report author Dagfinn Bach: “Streaming or downloading 12 tracks, without compression, just 27 times by one user would, in energy terms, equate to the production and shipping of one physical 12-track CD album. Repeated streaming of individual tracks may not necessarily be a desirable long-term solution with respect to energy consumption for the life cycle of a sound recording.” - Bach also calculates current YouTube energy consumption is around 0.1 percent of 2010 global electricity levels, rising to one percent by 2013. - MusicTank holding a conf to address concerns on October 11	Bach forecasts global data traffic hitting 1 yottabyte by 2027 could require more than 1/5 of the planet’s 2010 electricity consumption – something which “depends on sprawling server farms and a complex, energy- sapping network infrastructure”. - solutions?: Spotify’s app already has a kind of built-in local cache to avoid the necessity to repeat song streams. Bach says “a ‘close-to-consumer’ cloud solution might be the most environmentally-friendly option” for online content delivery. - A 1 petabyte drive capable of storing all the songs ever recorded could soon cost just $100 if you follow Moore’s Law. if entertainment industry wasn't so locked down and drm-crazy, they could offer all songs on a drive, minus the metadata required to play the songs it contains, which itself could be accessed only via paid subscription from the cloud.

77		Maybe you have in the past but no one has mentioned talking to your computer is quite the privacy predicament is it not? Like Tom said, I don't want to talk to people let alone my computer, but if I'm talking to my computer everyone around me knows exactly what I'm doing. I don't want anyone to know I'm emailing TNT, that's embarrassing! Speaking of embarrassing, who wants to be sitting in the corner of a coffee shop talking to themselves - at least that's what it looks like from the outside - maybe worse than talking on a Bluetooth device?

11		News Fuse - Top 10		VIDEO
12	tm	Ok here's my best guess at what will end up in the final version of TNT after the Apple announcement. Apple announced iPhone 5 a new phone with a 4-inch screen, slightly taller form factor and the headphone jack moved to the bottom. Like its iPad sibling the iPhone will now come with LTE built-in. It also has some faster innards, and that new 9-pin dock connector. The phone will sell for $199 on contract available for pre-order today and shipping 9.21. Apple also announced some upgrades to iPods, most significantly a new iPod Touch with GPS. No NFC and no iPad Mini.
13	sl	Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, spoke candidly at TechCrunch Disrupt conference yesterday in his first interview since Facebook initial public offering in May. He said investing so heavily in HTML5 apps was a mistake, and that the company is going to make more money in mobile than they ever have on the desktop. Facebook's stock has lost nearly half its value since the IPO. More than $50 billion has been lost from Facebook's market value. But Zuckerberg says now is not only a good time for people to join the company, but for the current employees to double down and stay.	http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-09-11/questions-loom-for-zuckerberg-in-1st-post-ipo-chat
14	ia	At the Intel Developer's Forum, Intel released details about its Haswell chips which are due out in the middle of next year. Intel says it's going to be super power efficient with one version running at 10 watts --- that's 1/2 of as much as current Ivy Bridge processors. Intel also upped the graphics capabilities in Haswell. The company showed Skyrim running on high settings at 1920 x 1080 and it ran smoothly.	http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19557496
15	tm	Intel did show off a boatload of PCs using the new Haswell chips, the most buzzworthy being the Dell XPS13 Ultrabook with Nuance Communications Dragon Assistant Beta. Users will be able to speak to their laptop to search the Web, find content, play music, check email, post to social networks an dmore. Bets part? To acticate voice commands you have to wake the dragon by saying "Hello Dragon" then say "go to sleep" to turn it off . Hopefully that can be customized, to something in Dothraki. Dell will be the first to ship with Dragon Assistant Beta by the end of 2012.	http://www.tomshardware.com/news/NaturallySpeaking-Nuance-Ultrabook-Dragon-Assistant-Voice-Control,17511.html
16	sl	Yahoo will officially close the multi-billion-dollar sale of half its assets in China’s Alibaba Group by this time next week, say sources familiar with the matter. The deal is said to be announced next Wednesday. Alibaba will pay Yahoo $7.6B to buy back 20% of Alibaba. Yahoo still owns another 20%. Yahoo will get $7.1B in the transaction, as well as a $550M payment related to the ending of licensing fees that Alibaba has paid annually to Yahoo.	http://allthingsd.com/20120911/exclusive-mayer-set-to-get-yahoos-alibaba-billions-in-one-week-but-will-investors-get-some-back-too/
17	ia	The Shanghai Evening Post sent one of its journalists to work undercover in the Foxconn Tai Yuan factory to find out how the new iPhone is made. The reporter did not like the dorm conditions saying it smelled like garbage, sweat and foam. There is an onsite hospital, gym, post office and library. As for the actual iPhone production, the reporter had to cover up ports on the back plate to stop paint from being sprayed on to it in the next process. The reporter quit after 10 days. The factory has to produce 57 million iPhones within one year.	http://micgadget.com/29723/the-undercover-report-on-how-the-new-iphone-5-is-made-inside-foxconn-factory/
18	tm	HateBadDesign tipped us off to a story that one of the largest news publications in Denmark reports Spotify is getting into the TV business. Spotify's streaming service for TV and movies would start in the Nordic countries in partnership with HBO Nordic, according to TV2, and has hired former-Comcast executive Mark Berkley. HBO is launching an Internet-only service in Scandinavia later this year.	http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1347445250

20	sl	Microsoft has announced it's added 82 additional markets, which more than doubles support toward enabling developer opportunity worldwide.In Microsoft's words: "we will just keep going." Microsoft is also announcing additional subscription program offerings for developers- All eligible MSDN subscribers receive a free, one-year Windows Store developer account as part of their MSDN benefits. A program for students— called DreamSpark—also waives the subscription fee. And Microsoft has special offers for businesses in their BizSpark program too.	http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsstore/archive/2012/09/11/windows-store-now-open-to-all-developers.aspx
21	tm	Acer announced it will release a smartphone in China running the Aliyun operating system developed by China's e-commerce heavyweight, Alibaba. Aliyun launched July 2011 and runs Web-based apps stored on rmeote servers, simoilar to Google's Chrome OS. Acer's CloudMobile A800 smartphone goes on sale Friday for 2,999 yuan (US$473).	http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB10000872396390444426404577645710780911798-lMyQjAxMTAyMDEwMTAxODE3Wj.html
22	ia	It must be new camera season because Sony just introduced some new cameras. Let's spotlight a few. First up is the Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 - it is a full-frame compact camera. A full-frame sensor is about the same size as a frame of 35mm film, which means really nice photos. It'll run you $2800. Sony also introduced the first full-frame camcorder, the Handycam NEX-VG900 at $3300. If those are too expensive, $1000 will get you the new Alpha NEX-6 with a lens.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57510943-1/sonys-full-frame-full-court-press-for-photokina/

75		Just a heads up. Although I do not work for American Airlines (I'm a pilot with a different major airline) I am familiar with their Ipads in the cockpit integration. Every pilot MUST have a very specific backup battery fully charged and on board in case of battery failure. Additionally pilot must make sure the Ipad if fully charged before they start their duty day. So the odds of BOTH Ipads failing in flight....are pretty slim. Love the show wish I could watch it from the flight deck. Geek

A Federal Judge approved a settlement between the DoJ and 3 major publishers last week, and Amazon has begun discounting HarperCollins eBooks. HarperCollins gets picked on first because they have reached a new agreement consistent with the settlement. Similar discounts have beguin to show up on Barnes & Noble and Kobo stores as well. The Publishers do not receive less money per book in these arrangements, but rather allow the retailers to set the price instead of the publisher.	http://paidcontent.org/2012/09/10/that-was-fast-amazon-is-already-discounting-harpercollins-ebooks/

46		- Marco Arment blocked ability to save 9to5 Mac articles to Instapaper based on what he called libelous behavior (called it Instascraper, poked fun at his name being mispronounced, etc).9to5 initially accused Instapaper of being responsible for the now-debunked “FBI” UDID leak - server was stolen, they wouldn't retract, etc - Instapaper doesn't want to "save pages from publishers who object to the service," founder Marco Arment told Buzzfeed's Matt Buchanan. - "read later" concept has been compared to copyright infringement/stealing. none of the proceeds from the $4.99 app go to reimburse these sites for their lost ad revenue (ads are stripped out of Instapaper's version) - To get around these legal complications, Instapaper provides an opt-out list if a publisher doesn't want to participate. Arment says no pub has exercised right to. He put 9to5 Mac on it himself. Users initially got a dialog box when saving articles from 9to5 that made it seem like pub did it, wordage was changed to "sorry, Instapaper cannot save articles from this site"

49		- Federal Aviation Administration approval to kit out AA pilot’s ‘electronic flight bags’ with iPads for use in “all phases of flight”. - iPad, is only FAA-approved tablet as a replacement for paper-based reference manuals that weigh 35lbs. This will save AA an estimated $1.2M of fuel across all of its planes annually, based on current fuel prices. - airline says that it is also working on a program to kit out flight attendants with tablets, in order to give them better information about passengers. - AA will run software by Jeppesen, which is used for gate-to-gate tracking throughout flights and presumably in takeoff and landing - rolling out this month in AA’s 777 fleet. It will get approval for all fleet types by the end of 2012 and cease distributing revisions to its paper manuals in 2013. Every pilot and instructor is getting their own iPad in order to ‘ease the transition’ for use. - iPads first got approval for use in cockpits in 2011.	- FAA thinks it is safe for an iPad to operate and emit electromagnetic radiation in the computer-packed confines of a cockpit, surely it becomes harder to justify the order to turn off other machines further back inside the plane. - Commercial airline pilot and blogger Patrick Smith (askthepilot.com) has noted that the ban on using electronics is more about preventing them becoming projectiles if a plane hits turbulence. His verdict on the ban on in-flight mobile use is that “the FAA are merely erring on the better-safe-than-sorry side” rather than preventing any crashes.

79		Hey TNT crew, Your discussion yesterday about the different ways email subscriptions have for unsubscribing reminded me of one of the features I love about Outlook.com: they will do the work for you! Whenever I get an email that's part of a subscription or a newsletter, I just click the button labeled "Unsubscribe" in the Outlook.com interface, and they take care of the rest! I'm not sure what they do, but once I click that I never get the unwanted email again! It works for every email, even ones that normally require you to click a link in the email, and then to login, I never have to do that again! Here is a page on Microsoft.com describing the feature, and a video about it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/outlook/home/inbox (The other feature I love is the ability to page $20/yr and get an ad free experience via Hotmail Plus.. Paul Thurrott provided this tip: http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-live/outlookcom-tip-account-143930 ) Love the show! Stephen Charlotte, NC

46		on the issue of unsubscribing from e-mails. In CAN-SPAM's Compliance Guide for Businesses, the FTC states, "you can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an e-mail address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply e-mail or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request." - Ars Technica asked FTC rep Cheryl Hackley what was acceptable under CAN-SPAM. Hackley responded "The FTC provides general guidelines for opt-out mechanisms and doesn't endorse any particular mechanism." When asked if a log-in screen between users and their e-mail preferences specifically is acceptable, Hackley responded that "There are specific guidelines for what must be included in an e-mail and honoring opt-outs, but again, the guidelines for opt-out mechanisms are general since there is not really a one-size-fits-all mechanism." - CAN-SPAM regulation violations can earn companies a penalty of up to $16,000, per e-mail.	- Ars reached out to LinkedIn, which forces logins to manage email prefs: "We… know that some members do not wish to receive these e-mails so we make it easy to discontinue them via the 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom of the message. We ask for the member’s password to confirm that it is truly the LinkedIn member who is accessing their account settings to update their email preferences… We are confident that our practices comply with all regulations." - Constant Contact, the company that runs SafeUnsubscribe, a product that many e-mail newsletters use to manage subscriptions. Tara Natanson, manager of ISP relations, told Ars that "it is against the CAN-SPAM Act to require people to enter more than just their own e-mail address to unsubscribe from something." However, she noted that "most companies who require you to log in to stop receiving e-mail are dealing with things more complex than just an e-mail subscription to a newsletter."

82		Morning TNT folks... I was looking for Foundation today at Audible.com and noticed two things... "WhisperSync for Voice enabled" and "Get this Audiobook for the reduced price of $4.95, when you buy the Kindle edition first." So it looks like there is a substantial discount for the Audible audiobook. Unfortunately you are stuck paying for it with cash, instead of credits. Other books have different prices. To the Last Man by Jeff Shaara was $9.95. It doesn't appear to be "length based" or even author based because The Glorious Cause another book by Jeff Shaara was $4.95. Not sure exactly how this works and if it works with the Library checkouts to the Kindle. - David

Apple is reportedly in the early stages of negotiating with music labels but the service would most likely come as a pre-installed app on iOS.	http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/07/technology/apple-plans-to-challenge-pandora-in-web-radio.html
14	ia	Reuters reports Apple is ordering less memory from Samsung and that Samsung will not be providing memory for the first batch of the next iPhone. Instead, Apple's gone with Toshiba, Elpida and Hynix. So is this just Apple being sour about the patent wars between the companies? According to Reuters' sources - no. Apple had been looking to widen its supply chain.	http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/09/07/apple-samsung-idINDEE88600Q20120907

The chipmaker now expects $13.2 billion in sales give or take $300 million, down from $13.8 to $14.8 billion. While Intel stock took a dip on the news the NASDAQ itself remained unphased.	http://allthingsd.com/20120907/intel-lowers-sales-outlook-for-third-quarter-on-weak-demand-for-chips/

The Judge said "Clear and convincing means something to me" and "I have to be pretty darn certain a US patent is invalid." HTC accuses Apple of infringing two patents on wireless data transmission. A victory by HTC could lead to a request for bans on the sale of the newest iPads and iPhones.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-06/htc-patents-challenged-by-apple-probably-valid-judge-say.html

31		- WSJ reports Apple in talks to license music to create Pandora rival for iTunes running on all Apple hardware, possibly PCs. negotiations just started, could be months before licensing deals in place. (ATD says sources confirm this) - currently Apple is sales model. Pandora has more users - Apple considered Pandora competitor, according to a person familiar with the matter. But decided not to because of licensing costs. Instead, focused on Genius service, suggests songs people will like based on purchases. - music would be interspersed with ads, in this case carried by Apple's iAd platform, which syndicates ads to iPhone and iPad apps. pandora app uses iAd.	- As of June, there were more than 400 million iTunes accounts, according to Apple. - recent consumer survey by Nielsen Co., more adults said they use Pandora to listen to music than iTunes. - royalty costs associated with online radio have prevented Pandora from ever reporting a profit. In the 3 months ended July 31, P lost $5.4M on $101.3M revenue. The company's content-acquisition costs for the period increased 79% compared with the same quarter in 2011, far outstripping its revenue growth of 51%. -Pandora pays royalties based on rates set by an arm of the federal government, rather than negotiating separate licenses with the record labels that control music. - - licenses Apple wants may lift restrictions that ususally apply to online radio, like a ban on playing any 1 song too often. could make Apple's service more of a direct competitor to terrestrial radio, which typically repeats a small number of hit songs.

Google publishes more streetview data every two weeks than it posessed in all of 2006. Google can extract street signs and embed them in the map - eventually can index any word visible from the street -- even logos Humans judge things like left-turn lanes and then the algorithm duplicates those judgements. Roads that are off in TIGER data get massaged by humans like Nick Volmar "The maps we used to keep folded in our glove compartments were a collection of lines and shapes that we overlaid with human intelligence.

46		- uber is black car service that allows geolocated pickup via an app, CC transaction on the backend. - they've been operating as taxi competitor in NYC but want to expand to another app to hail actual cabs, majority there. - statement issued by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission to “remind” medallion yellow cab drivers and owners that the TLC “has NOT authorized any electronic hailing or payment applications (‘apps’) for use in New York City taxicabs.” - Uber CEO Travis Kalanick says that won't stop them from a "special" for NYCers to get up to a $25 ride free, through next Tues. Drivers aren't using CCs, no problem. - Hailo, London-based company that operates a similar service, is planning on launching here in a couple of weeks. However, Hailo does not have explicit approval from the TLC either.- Hailo has 2,500 pre-registered to use its app. NYT reported that Uber planned to launch with 105 cabs, or less than 1 percent of the 13,000 yellow cabs in New York City, with ambitious plans to recruit 100 new drivers a week.	- REP FROM TLC: “Due to contractual obligations, payment apps cannot be used while the existing technology contracts are in place. However, we intend to update our regulations to reflect new innovations and new realities by February when existing contracts expire,” - TLC’s existing contracts with Verifone and Creative Mobile Technologies, the companies that power the entertainment screen and credit card processing on the partition of your taxi. The exclusive contracts are around running the screen and the credit card swipe, referred to internally as the Taxi Passenger Enhancements Program (TPEP) - NOW WHAT: “We can offer it for free. Or Uber can help you get the car, but then you’d have to pay normally inside the taxi,” he said, adding, “But still our attorneys tell us that we should be able to process credit cards, that we’re not breaking anything regulatory or in contract.”

12	tm	Amazon showed off a paperwhite Kindle and what appeared to be a 10-inch color tablet in an ad aired during a US Rules football match last night. Also The Verge's NIlay Patel reports multiple sources say Amazon is working on a phone that would run a forked version of Android 4.0 and include maps from Nokia. All will be revealed at 10:30 AM in our live coverage of the Amazon announcement and nobody who downloads this episode will hear this part because we'll replace it with the updated news. We're clever eh?	http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/5/3294569/exclusive-amazon-phone-confirmed-could-be-announced-tomorrow
13	sl	At yesterday's main event, Motorola introduced three new phones. They're called the Droid Razr HD, Droid Razr Maxx HD, and Droid Razr M. They all will ship with Android 4.0.4, ICS and they all use a 1.5GHz dual core-processor. Jelly Bean is expected before the end of the year. The Razr HD and Maxx HD are pretty much the same phone with 4.7-inch displays, except the Maxx comes with double the storage at 32GB and a huge 3300mAh battery. The Droid Razr M might gain a sizable following because it's cheap. On a contract, it's $99 and it comes with a 4.3-inch edge-to-edge screen in a very small form factor - it's about the size of the iPhone 4S.	http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/09/motorola-google-announce-next-generation-of-droid-razrs/
14	ia	If you thought Facebook already owned Instagram, you were wrong until this morning. NOW you're right. Both companies annoucned on their blogs that their beautiful union is now consummated. Instagram also took the opportunity to brag that 5 billion photos have been shared on the service. Neither company annoucned the purchase price, but with Facebook's falling stock price, it's estimated to be around 750 million dollars or less.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/6/3297716/facebooks-instagram-purchase-finally-complete-over-5-billion-photos
15	tm	Yesterday as part of Nokia's annoucnement of the Lumia 920, the company released a promo video demonstrating the "PureView" camera. Eagle-eyed TC Sottek form The Verge noticed the reflection of a van with a DSLR camera in the part of the video demonstrating image stabilization. Nokia posted an apology for the deception, admitted the video was not shot on a Lumia 920 and have now posted a video that was.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/5/3295316/nokia-apology-lumia-pureview-ad
16	sl	Twitter has released v1.1 of its new and improved API and updated the "Developer Rules of the Road" document to reflect the changes which includes deprecating support for RSS, XML and Atom. Most aggregation apps can be rewritten using Twitter’s 1.1 APIs, but if developers want to get data out of Twitter — they also must use OAuth. Apps that use RSS, XML or Atom will need to shift to J-SON or other API methods by March 5, 2013.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/6/3295059/twitter-api-v1-1-release
17	ia	Bloomberg has a ton of details on Apple's foray into television. Apparently, Apple has been working on a way to find content easily since 2005. The most recent point of contention between Apple and cable companies is UI - the cable companies do not want Apple to control the experience entirely. Bloomberg also explains how an Apple TV would work - it'd be a set top box and it'd pretty much follow a TiVo model. You'd pay your cable company, but use Apple's box.	http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/06/no-new-apple-television-products-coming-in-2012-as-content-negotiations-stall-once-again/
18	tm	Who thought external drives could be so eye-catching? I DID! And so did Western Digital which announced a new line of portable external hard drives for Macs and Windows PCs, called My Passport Edge. The drives are USB 3.0 and bus-powered and 9.5 mm thin. The 500 GB version costs $110 for the plastic one formatted in NTFS and$120 for the shiny aluminum formatted in HFS+.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57507027-1/wd-unveils-sleek-my-passport-edge-portable-drives/
19	sl	South Korea's antitrust watchdog says it's launched an investigation into whether Samsung is using its dominant position in the wireless market to Apple's disadvantage. Samsung is leaning on its pool of third-gen wireless patents to win lawsuits against Apple. But the company's argument that Apple should be denied sale of products that illegally use patents that are deemed essential tech for 3G networks have scored just a single victory — in a Seoul court — but at the same time fueling further scrutiny from regulators on other continents.	http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jjizZnhQPviCdPT177-MI_JAGqvQ?docId=a6fa9b1faa20413d9f25b17dfc871bf4
20	tm	Joystiq reports that NPD estimates 211.5 million people are playing games in the US, down 12 million from a year ago. Bucking the trend is mobile gaming which rose nine percent. Mobile gaming took a larger percentage of the gaming audience, 22 percent, than core gamers which held the top spot a year ago.	http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/06/npd-number-of-us-mobile-gamers-surpasses-core-totals-down/
21	ia	It's an exciting day for ereaders and tablet fans because Kobo introduced three new products. The Kobo Mini is a $79 eReader with a 5-inch eInk screen along with WiFi for social reading. The Kobo Glo will run you $129, offers a microSD slot for expansion, 6-inch touch display and an integrated light - Glo, get it? Then there's the Kobo Arc, a 7-inch Android-powered tablet which will run you $200 for the 8GB model and $250 for the 16GB model.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/05/kobo-unveils-99-mini-and-129-glo-e-readers-takes-on-amazon-with-android-powered-arc-tablet/

36		HootSuite CEO: We’re Buying Seesmic For The Users, Not The Tech	http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/06/hootsuite-ceo-were-buying-seesmic-for-the-customer-base-not-the-tech/
37		- Twitter rolled out version 1.1 of its API, ending support for RSS, XML and Atom. - RSS and Atom are the two major formats for serving up web feeds. These feeds can include text, audio, video and other types of media. While most users use RSS as a way to subscribe to web content from a blog or podcast — the format can also be used as a way to subscribe to tweets. - Twitter has allowed developers to access Twitter timelines and search queries using RSS. social aggregators have used RSS as an easy way to pull in tweets alongside messages for other services. FRIENDFEED GOOD EXAMPLE - Most aggregation apps can be rewritten using Twitter’s 1.1 APIs, but its important to note another change: Twitter’s 1.1 API now requires authentication via OAuth 1.0a for all endpoints	- RSS used display a stream of tweets from a user or a hashtag as a widget on a website. Twitter hasannounced the ability to build user and hashtag based timelines. - meanwhile Hootsuite bought seesmic, says it's for users, not tech. - HootSuite currently has 4.5M business users but it does not disclose how many of them are paying. Seesmic has biz users too. good proportion of consumers among its estimated 30,000-40,000 unique monthly visitors. can choose to move onto Twitter, FB - Ryan Holmes, Hootsuite CEO: “We think of ourselves as a social media Switzerland,” “We sit between Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and 30 other social networks. And I don’t think we will see those social media properties butt up against what we are doing because they don’t really want to acknowledge the existence of the others.”

41	ia	Apple TV No IPhone As Talks Bog Down With Media Companies	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-06/apple-tv-no-iphone-as-talks-bog-down-with-media-companies.html
42		- Bloomberg has a report detailing Apple's issues in introducing the mythical Apple television - The current stumbling block w/ cable co's is control over the UI. - Apple is furthest along with TWC and could be part of a regional rollout. TWC is more amenable to letting another company control the UI. History: - Bloomberg's sources say Apple has been working since 2005 on a product that would allow viewers to quickly find shows and movies. - The product has been held up due to the lack of content deals. Steve Jobs said unless the company could get more content esp. live broadcasts, Apple wouldn't be disruptive. - a deal pre-2007 with Comcast fell apart b/c Comcast wouldn't let Apple control the entire experience How an AppleTV would work under recent negotiations: be TiVo - Apple gets access to live broadcasting w/o getting new content agreements - Apple would release a new product for customers to access their set of channels, paid with a cable subscription, instead of leasing a set-top box from pay-TV operators for a monthly fee - Apple may also lease the boxes through cable companies - If more deals are struck: on-demand content	Qs: - UI is the stumbling block? Should cable companies be afraid of Apple controlling the experience? - If Apple went with a TiVo model, what are the chances that would take off?

45		- Mayer: not going to sell its ad exchange Right Media. Some execs under past leadership teams had pushed the company to sell Right Media; Mayer will increase investment in the exchange and the company's other ad-tech assets. - telephone interview by Brian Silver, Right Media's chief, and Michael Barrett, Yahoo's chief revenue officer originally hired in June by former interim CEO Ross Levinsohn (and apparently not leaving under new mgmt) - word in ad tech is that Right Media has fallen behind competitor exchanges from Google and AppNexus. Industry execs claim majority of total ad inventory on the exchange is unsold Yahoo inventory and that the revenue generated from non-Yahoo inventory on the exchange is not lending to the overall Yahoo business. -	Brian Silver: "Certainly [Yahoo is] the anchor tenant, and it's great to have them, but it's a minority of the supply," he said. "People have been taking shots at Right Media for quite some time... and we've been a little quiet, but we're not going to be quiet anymore." - rumors that Ms. Mayer was likely to sign off on a plan to invest at least several hundred million dollars into Right Media and the rest of Yahoo's ad-tech products. - Yahoo purchased Right Media for for $680 million in 2007 under CEO Terry Semel. Online ad exchanges run on stock-market-based model. Sellers, both site publishers and networks, put inventory into the exchange, most of which is often bought up by another site or publisher that needs the impressions to fulfill an advertiser request. Buyers can gain access to a pool of impressions that may not have been available through any one vendor.

49		- NPD says fewer people are playing video games than last year in the U.S. - 211.5M play video games, last year that number was around 223M (down 5%) - Mobile gamers are now 22% of all gamers. That's up 9% - "Digital gamers" - those who acq. games via free and paid downloads up 4%, now 16% of all gamers - Console gamers were down 2%, now 21% of all gamers - On avg. gamers spend $48 on physical games, $16 on games for PCs, consoles or portables.

72		Hi TNT crew, As someone who had 3 iPhones over the years and went Android when the Samsung galaxy note came out, I have my two cents to add as to why an Android user would take a backwards tech step to am iPhone since I will be doing the same. Yes, the Android is much better for geeks like us in what you can accomplish...eg after taking a photo it can be shared with ANY installed app that can handle it. However, the busy professional side of my misses a device that is stable and doesn't need me to waste time daily on things that don't work smoothly. Whether with my carrier's stock ROM or custom ROMs I have tried, my Android device crashes at least once power day; this was not the case with my iPhones. Yes on an Android you can attach a photo to your email even after you start writing the message but without a third party app and extra steps, that photo cannot be compressed. Lastly, you can count on the iPhone to feel solid and like something of value. Samsung feels junky because of it's choice of materials and finish. And like a fine car, Apple has resale value at trade-in; just check out Gazelle and see that the iPhone 4S is still worth a few hundred dollars almost one year out and my 6 month old Samsung galaxy note: $26. Love the show! See you on iPhone pre-order night. Rob Schertzer Vancouver, BC

72		Hi TNT crew. I switched from Gmail to the new Outlook.com a few weeks ago, and although I kept my Gmail address, I've really been enjoying Outlook.com's clean interface and unique features. One thing I've noticed that could use some work though, is the spam filter. With Gmail, I rarely had to worry about the filter catching anything it shouldn't. Not so with Outlook, but a few missteps are to be expected with a new service. Last week, however, Outlook.com's spam filter, referred to as Microsoft SmartScreen, caught a message I never expected to see in my junk folder. Microsoft's own email service had blocked a notification regarding changes to their own services agreement! I clicked on the link in the message and was indeed brought to a website on the microsoft.com domain containing the new services agreement. I guess Outlook.com still has a few kinks to work out. I've attached a screenshot of the offending message (I moved it to my Inbox to avoid automatic deletion, but you can see where Outlook warns that the message failed it's fraud detection checks). Thanks for putting out a great show, keep up the good work. Seth

This allows developers and users to add extra information to the post without interfering with the text content of the Post. (map of restaurant, etc) Annotations will enable developers to build complex posts and new systems on top of the current App.net infrastructure. - no block features: The imperfection of "block" is that it gives a false sense of security. A person "blocked" easily finds out they are blocked, and they can just logout or create a new account to see your posts anyway. It's a complex set of features.

81		Tom and Posse, On Friday's show, Sarah made a joke about Google and Apple teaming up to buy the NFL. I did a little research to see how far this could be from reality. They could certainly buy the right to broadcast the games, which would run them $4.95 billion per year. In terms of buying the teams they would come up short. Their combined profits for 2011 were $35.659 billion. The Cleveland Browns just sold for one billion dollars, we can assume its not the most valuable franchise due to market size and a surplus of suck, lets put it in lower 50% of value. Even so, I think with their combined resources, they could afford to purchase the broadcast rights and well over half the league with the profits from a single year. Or if they wanted something a little less grandiose, Apple could probably pick up the NHL with profits from the 1st month of iPhone 5 sales. Richard J. Stroffolino

83		Hi Tom, Sarah, Iyaz & Jason, I hope you all have/ had a great Labor Day weekend! Regarding AirPlay Direct (episode #575), Apple already have a similar technology built-in to OS X (since Lion) called AirDrop. AirDrop allows nearby Macs to wirelessly share files without being connected to the same WiFi network. Both Macs remain connected to the Internet by juggling (switching back and forth) the two WiFi connections. Surely the proposed AirPlay Direct is just a re-working of this existing tech? Keep up the awesome work, James - London, England

85		Good morning TNT Crew, Since TWiT has a large audience of gamers - and upstanding netizens in general - I thought I'd let everyone know that, at 5 pm MDT on September 5th (Thursday), a group of us in Littleton, CO will begin a 72-hour Mario Bros. vs. Zelda video game marathon. We'll be taking donations for the Organization for Autism Research and giving away prizes during trivia challenges. We'd really appreciate the support of the TWiT community to help us exceed our previous donation total of $1,700 for St. Jude Children's Hospital last April. I've included the URLs to OAR's site as well as MariothonCO, and attached the flyer we've been handing out around town. Thanks, Corey Miller	Mariothon.net

13	sl	Want to know exactly what the new Kindle Fire will look like? The Verge has a photo, and reports a "pair" of Fires is likely — a 7- and a 10-inch, though not both guaranteed for next week. Would you also like to see the refreshed Kindle Touch? OK! The button below the display is gone, and the bezel is now a dark gray. The overall shape of the product, USB port, power switch all look the same. The retail name for this unit is unclear — Amazon could simply call it the Kindle Touch again, but "Paperwhite" might be a contender too, referring to a display with "higher contrast, high resolution, integrated lighting, and eight weeks of battery life."	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/30/3280770/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-display

15	ia	The Wall Street Journal reports that the next iPhone may face supply problems due to "manufacturing difficulties" at Sharp, a display provider for Apple. The Journal says that it's not clear if or when Sharp can start production. Apple will have to rely on its other partners like LG and Japan Display for now.	http://www.informationweek.com/hardware/handheld/apple-iphone-5-may-face-supply-problems/240006586
16	dk	Reuters reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Larry Page have been talking on the phone discussing intellectual property.

17	sl	Oracle Corp. has issued an emergency fix today for vulnerabilities in its Java software about 4 months after it was warned about the bugs. The delay in providing a fix allowed more than 100,000 computers to get hacked. Only the latest version of Java -- Java 7 -- was affected in the latest attacks. And while only Windows machines were being attacked, the other big operating systems -- Solaris, Linux, even Apple’s Mac OS -- were also vulnerable if users have Java 7 installed.	http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-31/oracle-fixes-java-exploits-four-months-after-hacker-flagged-bugs

JailbreakNation.com has a video and screenshots of a revised App Store with a new layout that uses a card layout that looks like Chomp's old model.	http://www.jailbreaknation.com/ios-6-app-store-updated-to-look-more-like-chomp-includes-genius-recommendations
19	dk	HBO GO without having a cable subscription? Oh, it's happening! HBO announced HBO Nordic AB which will give portions of Europe access to HBO content for less than 10 Euros per month.

An HBO spokesman said this isn't a strategic change and the company considers each market unique.	http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118058484
20	sl	Reuters is reporting anonmous sources that say Apple and 4 major publishers - Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Hachette, and Macmillan- have offered to allow retailers like Amazon to sell e-books at a discount for 2 years in a bid to end an EU antitrust investigation and potential fines. The EU investigation into Apple's e-book pricing deals with the publishers and whether or not they hamper competiton has been open since last December.	http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/31/net-us-apple-ebooks-eu-idUSBRE87U0FV20120831
21	ia	Nokia wasn't kidding when it said it wanted to be known as the "Where" company. Reuters reports Amazon signed a deal with Nokia, which will bring Nokia's maps to the next Kindle Fire. Maybe that next Kindle Fire will have a GPS chip? We'll find out next week.	http://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-amazon-teams-nokia-snubs-230910150.html
22	dk	This week, Grooveshark was back in the Google Play Store. Yeah, that didn't last long. The app has already been kicked out again. This is the second time Grooveshark was booted - the first was over a year ago when it was dumped because it violated Google's policies. Grooveshark told CNET that the company is working to get its app back in the Play Store. Otherwise, you can just sideload the app from Grooveshark's mobile site.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57504160-93/grooveshark-app-yanked-from-google-play-yet-again/

The situation of Windows in mobile phones is now very unlikely to revert." - He also says it's doom and gloom for Nokia due to its ties to WP - MJF says that WP8 will launch on Oct 29th and handsets will hit early Nov. - Is it already over for WP or does it just need the right partner in Samsung?

76		Hey there Tech News Today! Huge fans of the whole crew, Sarah- Tom- Jason- and Iyaz! (i listen every day) I live in Kansas City and while we're not typically thought of as a "tech city" the installation of Google Fiber has certainly put us on the map! I wanted to share with you some speed tests I was able to do with Google Fiber on-site at their facility they have open to the public for demonstrations (as you might know, they haven't deployed it to the public/neighborhoods here in KC yet). I tested (and recorded on video) a typical SpeedTest.Net style test (they have their own tester, they wouldn't let me film/use SpeedTest.Net, which is interesting btw). Here is the short test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yplNwueLHbQ - Ramsey Mohsen	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yplNwueLHbQ	VIDEO
77	ia
78		I understand that this part will just be wild speculation, but my first thought on seeing the Tom Tom van was "I wonder if Apple is encouraging Tom Tom to do this." because iOS 6 does use Tom Tom data for maps and I think Apple knows that many of the more casual iOS users will wonder "Hey, where did street view go?" and end up complaining. While Apple might change somethings in their products, I don't think they like to change stuff for the casual user. Causal is the key word because it is their market. Sorry the thing is so long. I have a great excuse to watch the show live tomorrow as I will be donating blood while the show is airing! I really have to recommend everyone look into giving blood. Thanks. -- Will Bramlett (@YBrammer)

12	tm	The FBI has arrested Raynaldo Rivera on charges over Sony's computer breach which took place last year.

Both hackers have been connected to LulzSec.	http://www.zdnet.com/second-accused-lulzsec-hacker-arrested-in-us-7000003406/
13	sl	Now that the jury has ordered Samsung to pay over $1 billion to Apple, Judge Lucy Koh has pushed back a September date to discuss any new injunctions Apple would be seeking againt Samsung's products, to December 6th. Koh says that after considering the breadth of Apple's recent injunction request, and "the additional post-trial motions that the parties have already filed and will file," it makes sense to put the injunction discussion and the post-trial judgement requests on the same schedule.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/28/3275607/judge-apple-samsung-injunction-new-post-trial-schedule
14	ia	Say hello to my little friend - I call him "TiVo Stream."

15	tm	Sony let loose with a cavalcade of announcements at IFA in Berlin, including their first 4K TV an 84-inch Bravia coming before the end of the year. Sony also unveiled three new Xperia Android phones and a new Android Xperia Tablet S. On the Windows side the Vaio Duo 11 is a hybrid and the VAIO Tap20 is a collapsible all-in-one.

Pocket-Lint reports the company has launched an online service that will allow customers looking to buy Apple products to chat or hold a call with an Apple Store specialist discussing detailed specs on devices. If the customer goes ahead with a purchase, the specialist will set up the product, just like they do in-store.

17	ia	Let's look into the future. Leaked Intel documents show the company is working on its next generation Atom platform (codenamed Bay Trail). Bay Trail will use the Valleyview system-on-a-chip. It uses a 22nm process and will have desktop and mobile variants. The CPU on Valleyview allows for out-of-order execution - so instead of queueing up orders like previous generation Atoms, the CPU will process orders as soon as resources are available. That means speed, but usually at the cost of power. However, Intel has already solved that problem with Ivy Bridge and that tech will help out Bay Trail. Oh and an improved GPU that can decode a 1080p stream at 60fps is in there, too.	http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/08/new-quad-core-intel-atom-socs-targets-pcs-servers-and-tablets/

The chips will be built at Globalfoundries 28-nanometer line and are hoped to be out at some point next year.	http://techreport.com/articles.x/23485
19	sl	Isis, a mobile-payment joint venture backed by AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, and which will let you pay for in-store items with your mobile phone, is set to debut in September, after months of delays. VeriFone, which makes payment terminals that is working on the project, is preparing for Salt Lake City and Austin, Texas launches next month, says CEO Doug Bergeron. Last year Isis tweaked its strategy, opting to use credit-card companies to handle transactions rather than the carriers themselves, and it’s taken time to ensure that payments can be made securely.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-28/isis-mobile-payment-system-to-debut-in-september-after-delays.html

38		The Verge has an in-depth piece looking at the OnLive saga Lots of information saying that CEO Steve Perlman is to blame for the company's failure. Why? - It turns out that EA was a launch partner with OnLive, but when Perlman found out that EA was going to work with Gaikai, Perlman wanted exclusive rights to EA. EA said NO and Perlman said to pull all the EA games. - When Ubisoft refused to drop games from Gaikai, Perlman threatened to stop doing business with them. - Employees told the Verge that Perlman shot down any game Gaikai got first - Perlman scared off Valve which wanted to test the waters (Steam on OnLive?!) - Micromanagement by Perlman, not hiring a CFO, not hiring a VP of marketing. - That's a reason that employees convinced the new owner, Lauder Partners, to let Steve Perlman go and put employee-friendly former head of operations Charlie Jablonski in charge.	Other tidbits - HP looked into acquiring OnLive's Desktop platform, but deal fell through after HP's stock price took a hit. - OnLive needed a physical machine for each concurrent player. A virtualization solution offered by NVidia was not pursued. - 1600 concurrent users worldwide is a true number - 2.5M users, 1.5M users counts anyone who signed up for a free account - $99 Microconsole was sold at a loss

45		- AirPlay Direct would allow for direct connections between Apple devices and peripherals. Currently, Airplay requires a network to have devices talk to each other. - There are competing upcoming standards like Miracast: video streaming w/o the router, piggybacks on WiFi Direct. Currently in development at the WiFi Alliance - Q: What do we think of the validity of this rumor? How difficult has it been to get devices to talk to each other? (maybe discuss Apple's advantage in doing a proprietary solution with speed vs. the WiFi alliance)

77		Hello TNT, I am writing in response to the story about EasyPay. I had something similar happen to me. I am totally blind and use VoiceOver on my iPhone. I also use an app called Taxi Magic that allows you to pay for cab rides by using your phone. Well I was taking a cab somewhere and when we arrived at the destination I asked him what the fair was. I preceded to pay him, the transaction went through. I even heard his device in the front of the cab announce the payment and amount was received. When I asked him to point me in the direction of the door, he asked me if I needed to go in and get cash to pay him. I had to explain to him that the transaction went through. Personally I think he just had a bad day, but it does go to show these things do happen. - Chris G

79		Hi, I agree with Tom in your show 574 where you guys are talking about scanning brain waves when people are asleep, to get an images of what they're thinking about. In today's article in NPR, the announcer discussed whether people can learn in their sleep: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/08/28/160137395/can-you-learn-while-you-re-asleep In this discussion, researchers paired smell with sound. It wouldn't be a big stretch to go from sound to sight, as in seeing an image in your mind. So, play the sound of a beeping ATM keypad, and a subject will think about their pin code. You capture that image, and voilà, you have the code to that person's ATM card. Okay, I know it's a big stretch, but it's scary. I love your show and I am not going to sleep anymore, George the IT medical professional	Hi TNT crew, A little bit of background on the mind hackers story (TNT #574): recently I had the fun of being hooked up to one of these brain reading caps as an able-bodied test subject in a research project on 'locked in syndrome'. I spent an afternoon doing various things -- controlling a TV, moving around Second Life, writing tweets... -- using thought alone. For anyone with severe physical disabilities the advantage is obvious, but the prospect of spending every day wearing unsightly headgear with trailing wires is less appealing. One future possibility, the researchers explained, might be to embed sensors permanently under the scalp or even inside the skull itself, using some kind of wireless link to outside devices. This would be aesthetically nicer, and mean the user need no longer wait for assistance to put on any headgear in the morning, but obviously it has some privacy issues. Hope this helps shine a little more light on the matter. Simon Liverpool, UK

Most users probably haven't installed Java 7 but until Ora cle's quarterly patch or a third-party patch arrives, the only way to close the vulnerability is to disable the Java plug-in or remove the Java runtime altogether.	http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57501517-263/new-java-7-exploit-can-potentially-affect-macs/

35		- Twitter for iPhone stripped out client info under tweets in July, now web twitter does the same - de-emphasize clients, cut down on easy links to client adoption. - devs note that "guidelines" which become law in 6 mos don't spell this out. 3rd party clients may be forced to do this - Twitter API death march continues, TapBots blog post details why they're pulling alpha. DETAILS ON TOKENS: -clients have a fixed number of tokens, either 100k or if they are already above 100k, 2x the number of tokens they had on that date. - only for 3rd party Twitter clients, non client apps have no such limits. - caps are per “application” meaning a developer can have different caps for different apps. - same account/same app on multiple devices, single token. multiple accounts/same app, multiple tokens.If you go on the Twitter website and navigate to Settings -> Apps and hit the “Revoke access” button you are returning one of those tokens back to the app’s pool. - As of now, tokens don’t expire. must “Revoke access” to it in Twitter settings - tapbots encouraging ppl to revoke access to clients they don't use, give 'em back a token	tapbots "we have a large but finite limit on the number of user tokens we can get for Tweetbot for Mac. We’ve been working with Twitter over the last few days to try to work around this limit for the duration of the beta but have been unable to come up with a solution that was acceptable to them. Because of this we’ve decided its best for us to pull the alpha." AND "Tweetbot for Mac will still be available for sale in the near future, we are just stopping the public part of the alpha/beta testing. We wish we could continue on but we didn’t make the rules, we just have to live within them." FEW WEEKS AGO: “In the short term, nothing changes. From an API standpoint the changes required for v1.1 are trivia. Long term, we shouldn’t be in any risk of running out of spots under Twitter’s cap anytime soon.”

43		- SF Bay and Porland now have maps views in housing - data coming from OpenStreetMap (similar to wikipedia in community data) - according to OSM board member, CL is hosting the maps themselves - last month Craigslist filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against PadMapper and 3taps, for using Craigslist housing ad data on maps. - PadMapper said it obtained the data from 3taps, which in turn scrapes it from search engine listings of Craigslist posts. (padmapper displays other listings too) - CL, Apple, Foursquare, all using OSM. Google upped price for maps API in January. Has since brought price down due to "feedback"

76		I agree with Tom on the idea that the public overreacts very often on privacy issues. I think I have a reason why this is good though. If we didn't overreact, then companies would simply push different limits. If noone had complained about companies like google or apple knowing our location at all times, it would be common for any random app to be tracking you at all times. Overreacting to all the little things means that none of the big issues get through. While it doesn't look very organized, the discussion of things like sharing location happened because people cried out about it. I do believe it does limit how quickly some services can innovate, but right now I think the discussion on sharing anything or privacy is worth a little slowdown. In every situation I can think of in the past 5 years, which includes all the facebook privacy issues, I can't think of one that has tainted my view of a company currently. I am sure I'm not the norm as I generally understand why or how someone like Path knows some contact info already. I don't see the masses leaving Facebook, Google, Apple, or any others due to privacy. Most people seem to care in the short term but as long as the company reacts, the masses don't leave.

12	tm	Friday the jury ruled mostly in Apple's favor against Samsung, and awared $1.049 billion in damages. But it's not over yet. Apple intends to ask the court to ban sales of Samsung's infringing devices. Judge Koh will hear arguments on sales bans and the like September 20. Samsung also will likely appeal the case once all that is finished.

14	sl	Samsung wants the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales ban in the US overturned and is demanding damages for lost sales from Apple, after the tablet was found not to infringe on any patents. In June Apple secured a preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Judge Lucy Koh called it “virtually indistinguishable” from the iPads 1 and 2. The latest jury didn't agree, and ruled the Tab 10.1 didn't infringe on Apple's IP, possibly giving Samsung an opportunity to get back some of the $2.6m bond its Apple posted to secure the block.	http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-demands-galaxy-tab-10-1-us-sales-permission-plus-apple-damages-27244015/

Amazon Prime costs about $80 a year and gives its uses free two-day shipping on items. The Super-Saver service is offered on orders over $25.

A fourth patent regarding the sensor that detects your face when it comes close to the phone was sent back to Administrative Law Judge Thomas Pender for reconsideration. This is the resolution of complaints filed in October 2010. Motorola filed separate complaints against Apple last week.'	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57500235-94/itc-ruling-leaves-one-patent-on-table-in-apple-motorola-dispute/

Immediately after the Aug. 15 attack, the company announced it had cut off its electronic systems from outside access to prevent further attacks. Saudi Aramco said the workstations had been cleansed of the virus and restored to service. Oil exploration and production were not affected because they operate on isolated systems.	http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/27/technology/saudi-oil-producers-computers-restored-after-cyber-attack.html?_r=1

Hogan, foreman held a patent and helepd jurors understand prior art. - after that just checkboxes - Shut out Apple on some trade dress claims because they didn't want to "play patent office" (Four of the nine jury members have experience working for technology companies, including Intel and AT&T. Hogan worked for a hard-drive company.) Samsung will likely appeal to Federal Circuit Court. best bet: reduction in damages, deecisions stand. Sept. 20 comes the injunction hearing. QUESTION:What really protects innovation? -- read email	You guys always talk about how software patents harm innovation, but what I’d like to know is how they do that exactly. Why is copying the functionality someone else came up with “innovative”? Apple owns the patent on slide to unlock. But suppose they didn’t, and everyone copied it. How is that innovative? I think that patents foster innovation by forcing people and companies to do things differently. So, please explain how software patents harm innovation. - Chad

QUESTION: Will Android devices get more expensive?	Google released a statement: - Most of the claims “don’t relate to the core Android operating system.” “"The mobile industry is moving fast and all players - including newcomers - are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don't want anything to limit that." Samsung will appeal and Apple will file for a TRO Samsung will almost certainly appeal the jury’s decision in the case to the Federal Circuit, the Washington, DC-based appeals court that hears IP-related appeals. - Fed Cir has lowered large damages, but unlikely to reverse patent validity or infringement.

These images, both the earlier, more bare-bones pictures of the front casing and these further assembled pictures, also match up with images leaked from other sources. - pictures published by iLab (the ones that supposedly capture a fully assembled iPhone 5) seem to have an empty space next to the now-centered FaceTime camera, meant to house a sensor. Based on this latest leak, it would appear that much-awaited NFC will fill that hole. - Passbook in iOS 6: boarding passes, tickets, and coupons in one place It works with other apps that make natural sense, like the Starbucks store app or various apps to buy movie tickets with. Brands include Starbucks, Fandango, United, Amtrak, and Apple Store of course. -Shows gate changes, account balances, etc. as pop-ups on lock screen.	- BIG UPDATES (STILL RUMORED): 1. LTE 2. Ars Technica doesn't see need for A5X chip, but rumors speculate on quad-core A6. keeping up with the Jonses? 3. Screen "in-touch" cell sensing. Thinner glass, better res for user. Apple is making the screen larger by extending its vertical dimension. This would make the screen a 16:9 proportion, with 1136 x 640 pixels. 4. 30-pin dock getting smaller. rumors go as low as 8 pins 5. better sensor on camera? nobody complains about the camera, it could probably be left alone 6. nano-SIM 7. battery - not a lot of room, with LTE battery life might be issue. better power management? 8. headphone jack on the bottom

54		- Frank Gehry to design FB custom-built campus. Gehry built the Guggenheim Museum in Bilboa, Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles - current HQ used to be Sun's HQ - room for 3,400 engineers in a single building with reconfigurable work and meeting space, living roof. 420,000 square feet, or a mind-blowing ten acres. - parcel of land already owned by FB across the street from current campus in Menlo Park. A tunnel already connects the two pieces of ground and that will be used by staff moving between the two. - needs city of Menlo Park approval, submitting today. residents have been vocal about traffic woes - pending local approval, ground breaking on the campus in early 2013. It will take about two years to build.	To the northern side of two buildings are what appear to be water slides -- something that wouldn't be totally out of place in the Internet corporate culture of Silicon Valley -- but their actual purpose is less exciting. They are curving walkways that will take people from the office space to the parking structure that will sit underneath the building.

80		TNT Crew, I heard you discussing the Amazon press conference set for September and I was wondering if in addition to a new Kindle Fire that Amazon will announce a set-top box, like the Google TV. Since they have been focussed on improving their Amazon Prime offering a set-top box seems to me to be the logical next step. Paul Franz Reading, PA

82		Hey TNT crew Just wanted to point out that Facebook's "old" iOS (and current Android) app was not HTML5, so it makes me sad panda when I hear about people suggesting that HTML5 is slower. Here's why: The app originates from Apache Cordova, a project designed to enable developers to write code in HTML, CSS and Javascript and "convert" them to lower level languages like Objective-C. This means that they can run as compiled apps on multiple platforms. Cordova does this by wrapping your code in a Web View object within a native app - effectively a running a mini browser in your app which can display your HTML. It also gives hooks into the OS's capabilities that are not provided by the browser, such as camera access. Sounds great, what's the problem? This Web View is never as fast or as efficient as a real browser, as it is not considered a priority by the OS developers. Secondly, the moniker "HTML5" is probably a close second to "4G" in the misused words category. HTML5 refers to a collection of separate technologies and APIs that are slowly being built into browsers. It is not some sort of magical wand that suddenly turns your website into rainbows and unicorns. The majority of the spec is either not supported by all browsers (especially mobile browsers) or incomplete. tl;dr version: Tom's right - web apps are difficult right now, but will beat native apps eventually, and HTML5 is a hideously misused term. Love the show though, Ali (a.k.a. fortythieves in chat)

12	tm	The Apple - Samsung patent case has a decision... in Korea. I know, it's hard to keep track of all the Apple-Samsung patent cases. But in KOREA, Apple has been found to violate two of Samsung's WiFi patents and Samsung found to violate Apple's bounce-back patent. Samsung was not found to be copying Apple's design. Under the ruling, Apple must stop selling the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2 in South Korea, while Samsung must stop selling 12 products including the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab.	http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-23/apple-samsung-infringed-each-other-s-patents-seoul-court-says
13	sl	Amazon's set a press conference for September 6th, and sources say it's a "big announcement". New Kindle Fire, anyone? Rumors have also started that Amazon is building a smartphone with Foxconn. In any case, we at TNT will be on the story, and we're gonna do it live!	http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/08/23/amazon-hold-press-conference-september-6th-santa-monica/
14	ia	So let’s talk about the non-existant next iPhone and iPad mini. John Gruber posted his idea that it would make more sense for Apple to introduce the products at two separate events. The iPhone in September and the iPad mini at Apple’s usual music event. Well known Apple journalist Jim Dalrymple [DAL-RIM-PLE] wrote a response to Gruber’s theory saying “Oh that Gruber is a smart fellow.” People are taking this to mean that Gruber’s theory may be on the nose.	http://www.macrumors.com/2012/08/23/jim-dalrymple-hints-at-two-separate-apple-media-events-for-new-iphone-and-ipad-mini/
15	dk	Bad news if you’re Joel Tenenbaum, a federal court in Massachusetts upheld a $675,000 damages award against Tenenbaum. He was accused of illegally downloading 31 songs and distributing them, which got him sued by music labels. The Judge presiding over the case said that “a rational appraisal of the evidence before the jury… supports the damages award.”	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57499519-38/court-affirms-$675000-penalty-in-music-downloading-case/
16	tm	Yesterday Facebook released a new iOS app that got everybody talking about how much faster it is now that it's written in native code. Brian Chen at the New York Times reports Facebook is now making its developers use Android phones in order to help them better overhaul the app for that platform.	http://www.informationweek.com/development/mobility/facebook-takes-mobile-app-native-for-spe/240006155
17	sl	The FCC has approved Verizon’s $3.9B dollar acquisition of 4G spectrum from a consortium of cable operators, another hurdle down for Verizon to build the LTE network it always wanted. The deal still has to pass a federal judge, but since the US Department of Justice lifted all of its objections to the deal last week, it’s pretty much smooth sailing for Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and Bright House.	http://gigaom.com/2012/08/23/verizon-cable-cartel-gets-fccs-unanimous-approval/
18	ia	The International Telecommunication Union approved NHK’s 8K Ultra High-Definition TV standard. The standard, which NHK calls Super Hi-Vision, means a resolution of 7680 x 4320 with framerates of 120 fps. If that resolution didn’t mean anything to you - think of it this way: it’s over 33 megapixels, with 16 times the amount of pixels in a 1080p HDTV.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/24/3264652/8k-ultra-high-definition-tv-specification-approved
19	dk	Kodak is in dire straits. The company announced it’s selling its film, photo kiosk, and commercial scanner businesses. After the sale of these businesses and its digital imaging patents, Kodak plans to focus on printing products and commercial packaging as a part of its reorganization plan.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/24/3264414/kodak-sell-film-scanner-kiosk-divisions
20	tm	The Associated Press reports that the 8 judges of South Korea's contitutional court court rule unanimously against a 2007 law that required Internet commenters use their real names. The court stated it found no evidence the law helped decrease libel or the spread of false information, but that the law did discourage people from voicing dissent for fear of punishment. Security breaches that leaked personal data also contributed to the decision.	http://news.yahoo.com/skorean-court-ends-law-requiring-real-names-online-092538858--finance.html
21	sl	LG's keeping pace with Qualcomm with a teaser site (in korean) for its next LTE smartphone. Promising a 2nd-gen quad-core experience, the new device will promises better power management and graphics performance thanks to the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset inside. The site has room for five more videos, which should give us more of an idea of what to expect than FCC filings alone.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/24/lg-teases-its-new-quad-core-superphone-snapdragon-s4-pro-is-awe/

So won’t Win8 mean gangbuster sales? - Windows 8 "faces some initial hurdles; chief of which is that buyers must acclimate themselves to an operating system that is a dramatic departure from existing PC paradigms. The PC ecosystem faces some work to properly educate the market," wrote Jay Chou, an IDC analyst.

71		Dear TNT, Your discussion today regarding the interview with Nintendo big wig Satoru Iwata reminded me a great deal of the kind of posturing that went on with Sega in the early Dreamcast days. Back then, Sega assured their fans that they were going to remain both a software and hardware developer; and we saw how that ended up. When Mr. Iwata says that 'real' gamers still want dedicated hand held devices I can't help but think what he's really saying is: "if you want to play Mario, Pokemon and Zelda games, you better stick with us and support us." In my opinion, Nintendo's exclusivity with these properties are the only strong suit they have left at this point. Time will tell, but I won't be surprised if in the future we see people playing Nintendo licensed games on other company's hardware. Love the show, Rob Houghton

73		Hello TNT Show! In response to your segment about people being underwhelmed with 4G. I'm a savvy guy, I've only had iPhones, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Websites load plenty fast, and I have no problem streaming video. My impression of 4G so far hasn't been too inspiring after seeing several of my co workers various android devices. I usually charge my phone every other day, they are constantly worried about making it through a single day (and sometimes they don't). The phones that claim to have "solved" the battery issue feel like bricks and they tend to run hot. I am more than willing to wait for technology to advance before getting 4G. Maybe that will be September? ;) Love the show! Rob in Phoenix

Sony Mobile also announced it will lay off 1,000 employees, about 15 percent of its staff, by March 2014. But hey, Sweden's nice right?

Yep, the logo we've come to know and love since 1987 is getting an update, with official unveiling at Microsoft's 23rd store, opening today in Boston. It will also appear at the Seattle and Bellevue Microsoft stores, as well as on the microsoft.com home page. The new logo is designed to "signal the heritage but also signal the future — a newness and freshness," said Jeff Hansen, Microsoft's general manager of brand strategy.	http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2018972097_microsoftlogo23.html
14	ia	LG’s mass producing lots and lots of displays with in-cell technology - that’s the one that embeds touch sensors in the display instead of requiring a separate layer. So why is this news? Oh, because LG supplies Apple with displays and people think those new LG displays are coming to the unannounced next iPhone due to the timing.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-23/lg-display-starts-touch-screens-output-before-new-iphone.html
15	tm	By the time you hear this Instagram may already be Facebook's. More than four months since the announcement of the proposed acquistion, the FTC in the US and the OFT in the UK have both now approved the deal. Instagram gets the shaft a bit, as the IPO of Facebook stock and the subsequent decline int he value means the value of the purchase price has dropped from around $1 billion to around $750 million.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/22/3261314/facebook-instagram-purchase-ftc-approval
16	sl	HP has reported quarterly losses of $8.9B- the worst in its 73-year history—and CEO Meg Whitman warned that the news might continue through a multi-year turnaround. HP reported revenue of $29.7B, down 5% from the $31.2B from the same period in 2011, and saw sales declines in all of its core business units except Software, which saw revenue grow 18%, bolstered by its acquisition of Autonomy, completed last October.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2408813,00.asp

Kixeye is also a gaming company that looks like a different animal compared to Zynga - its games include War Commander, Battle Pirates and Backyard Monsters. Zynga also recently lost its COO, John Schappert who departed after 15 months on the job.	http://allthingsd.com/20120823/zyngas-cityville-loses-mayor-to-kixeye/?refcat=news

Investment firm Piper Jaffray surveyed 3,000 folks and found 47 % don't feel they need 4G LTE and 26% feel all 4G network technologies are the same. 55% of those surveyed said they are considering buying the next iPhone, 44% said they'd choose Verizon, 29% said AT&T.	http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/08/22/47_of_us_consumers_feel_they_dont_need_4g_lte.html
19	sl	Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has released government documents showing that license plate readers, which include precise GPS location, date, and timestamps, in addition to the plate in question, are shared with an auto insurance umbrella organization. The documents include a memorandum of understanding from 2005 between the National Insurance Crime Bureau and the United States Customs and Border Protection agency. The NICB says insurance companies are members of the organization but don't automatically gain access to the LPR data, and that only authorized "Special Investigations Units" personnel from NICB member companies have access to such data "for theft prevention activities."	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/license-plates-scanned-at-border-data-shared-with-car-insurance-group/
20	tm	September 5th is the mother of all announcement days, including new phones from Nokia running the next version of Windows Phone. According to The Verge's Tom Warren, sources say Nokia will reveal two phones, one code named Phi, will be a hero phone, successor to the Lumia 800 and 900. And the other code-named Arrow will be its plucky sidekick, learnign the business and questioning the hero's ideals and motivations while providing invaluable assistance... it's a mid-range phone.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/23/3259828/nokia-arrow-phi-lumia-windows-phone
21	ia	Sure, location services are great when you’re outdoors, but what about when you’re lost indoors? Nokia, Samsung, Sony and a number of other companies are teaming up to standardize technology used for indoor location services. Their super-team is called the In-Location Alliance and they’re going to start with Wi-Fi standards and Bluetooth 4.0. The alliance is 22 companies strong, but Apple and Google aren’t a part of the group.	http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/23/in_location_alliance_launched/

27	tm	Why The OFT And FTC Let Facebook Buy Instagram: FB Camera Is Tiny, IG Makes No Money, And Google	http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/22/ftc-facebook-instagram/
28		Four months later - Facebook allowed to buy Instagram getting approval from Office of Fair Trading and US FTC Why OFT approved the deal - Camera+, Hipstamatic, Camera Awesome and other apps are killing Facebook - "Instagram does not generate any revenue" AND "one third party told the OFT that it does not consider that Instagram provides significant marketing opportunities." - Google's ad business is kicking Facebook's butt, Google + is competition and Google runs the app store for Android.

LinkedIn offered no value to Twitter - about 24 hours ago Matt Buchanan at Buzzfeed predicted Tumblr was next. around 5 ET her noticed find friends for Twitter was missing from Tumblr - they're cutting off access to "media companies"... big, competing services. - is Flipboard next?	TUMBLR: "To our dismay, Twitter has restricted our users’ ability to “Find Twitter Friends” on Tumblr. Given our history of embracing their platform, this is especially upsetting. Our syndication feature is responsible for hundreds of millions of tweets, and we eagerly enabled Twitter Cards across 70 million blogs and 30 billion posts as one of Twitter’s first partners. While we’re delighted by the response to our integrations with Facebook and Gmail, we are truly disappointed by Twitter’s decision." - marco arment, formerly of Tumblr, now of Instapaper, tweets: If Twitter cuts off Instapaper’s “find friends” access, I’ll probably remove all Twitter functionality. It’ll hurt, but it’ll feel right.

37		- Piper Jaffray survey of 3000 individuals says that nearly 47% say they don’t need 4G - The survey asked “Which 4G Wireless is, in your opinion, better?” - 4G 12.4%, 4G LTE 15.1%, while 25.7% say “They’re all the same.” - Of those who did have an opinion, Verizon Wireless was deemed by most to have the best 4G network, followed by AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. "While Verizon appears to be the winner here, the fact that most customers don't have an opinion about the best 4G network is also good news for the remaining carriers," Larsen wrote. Broadband - FCC 706 report: says we're not making reasonable progress toward bringing broadband networking to all Americans. - Information Technology and Innovation Foundation responded saying the conclusion is erroneous - The ITIF thinks the FCC should look at wired and wireless solutions together when looking at broadband instead of looking at them as two competing services.	- Does this survey just cement what we already know? "4G" is meaningless? - If 4G technologies were married to the term "broadband" would that change people's perceptions?

48		- Kotaku spoke to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata for 45 minutes, via translation - ON OWN HARDWARE: "I think that if we are able to provide experiences on handheld devices that consumers cannot get on another device, then we will continue creating software and hardware going forward, and if it comes to a point when we're not able to do that, I think, yeah, you will see portable handheld gaming devices go the way of the Dodo, I guess." - Iwata read 3DS sales figures to Kotaku reporter Steven Totilo off of a MacBook Air, which was plugged into a white iPhone. Doesn't seem afraid of brand. (at gaming trade shows, they don't use Sony TVs) - says he doesn't think it's non-sensical to want to game on device you're already carrying,	ON CHALLENGES VS. MOBILE: "It's just like in the day of the GBA our challenge was to provide experiences you could not have on a cellphone at that time. In the same way, we have to look at the Nintendo 3DS and other platforms in our future as being able to do the same thing in terms of what smartphones can provide as well." - does not think handheld gaming market is shrinking ( the 3DS had sold 10.5 million physical games in its first 14 months, more than the DS had sold in the same period of time.) - WHY NINTENDO TITLES ARE DIFFERENT "I think within games you have two needs that people fill. One is the time-filler need. The other is that it's a very important time for me and I want to have a rich experience. Those are two separate needs, I think."

12	tm	T-Mobile USA just decided to mean what it says when it says unlimited. Take THAT Sprint. It's still playing fast and loose with 4G though. Starting September 5th subscribers can opt for the "Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data," an add-on that includes throttle- and cap-free access to HSPA+ 42Mbps. You will not be able to use these new plans for hotspot features on phones though.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/22/3258573/t-mobile-unthrottled-unlimited-data-plans
13	sl	Square and Starbucks and your little 7 thousand US store partnership, your challenge has been met. PayPal and Discover are joining forces, increasing PayPal's U.S. merchant locations to...more than seven million. Starting in April, Discover’s merchants will be able to begin accepting PayPal’s charge cards, or consumers can enter their mobile phone number and PIN at the terminal. PayPal will give Discover a cut of each transaction for the right to run over Discover’s network.	http://allthingsd.com/20120822/paypal-trumps-squares-deal-with-starbucks-by-partnering-with-discover/
14	ia	Closing arguments in the Apple vs. Samsung case were made yesterday. Apple came out swinging saying Samsung was able to benefit by not “taking any of the risks, because they were copying the world’s most successful product” and damages in this case should be “large, because the infringement have been massive.” Samsung’s arguments undermined Apple’s witnesses and said that if the jury goes with Apple, it “could change the way competition works in this country.” More on this never-endering story after the News Fuse.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57497649-37/apples-closing-shot-hits-at-samsung-copycat-docs/
15	tm	Nikon introduced an Android camera, the Coolpix S800c for $350. It comes with a 10X optical zoom lens, 16 mpxl BSI CMOS sensor 1080p movie capture mode and Android 2.3! 2.3? Yeah, 2.3.

19	tm	The US government wants to prove it's not just doing the bidding of the RIAA and MPAA, so it sent a coalition of the willing to seize the domain names of three websites charged with illegally distributing Android apps. The willing in this case were the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Justice Department, several U.S. attorneys' offices, and Dutch and French law enforcement officials. The three seized domain names -- applanet.net, appbucket.net and snappzmarket.com -- may probably show up on the Net under different names.	http://www.pcworld.com/article/261239/android_app_websites_seized_in_the_us_for_alleged_copyright_violations.html
20	sl	LG, you're the biggest. At least when it comes to ultra-definition TVs. LG can claim the biggest in the world! It sports an 84in screen, smaller than a 90in model made by Sharp, but has support for 4K, which is a more advanced picture format. The screen offers 8 million pixels per frame, four times the resolution of 1080p high-definition displays. So, how much? Oh, just 25 million-won ($22,010; £13,940). My birthday's coming up, so....	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19344834

According to Internet monitoring firm Renesys, the majority of recent Syrian internet traffic is being routed through PCCW Global, a Hong Kong-based telecom.

33		After unending (109 pages - 84 items) jury instruction Samsung and Apple made closing arguments - THIS patent trial is in the hands of the jury trial now. 20-page jury form - APPLE: (Harold McElhinny) "Historical documents are almost always where the truth lies," and "If you want to find out what really happened, if you want to see the truth, make a chronology of it." -- "The test is overall visual appearance, not these minor differences," - SAMSUNG: (Charles Verhoeven) Apple is "attempting to block its most serious competitor from even playing the game," he said, stressing that "competition is what built this country." "The fact is consumers make choices, not mistakes... there's no deception, there's no confusion, and Apple has no credible evidence of it." "Just think about walking into a Best Buy store. You go into the TV section. All of the TVs look the same. They're all boxes. They're all flatscreens. They're all minimalist designs." - APPLE: (William Lee) "They copied our product,but what they're saying to you is 'we don't want to pay.'" "It took Apple five years to create this revolution, and Samsung took three months to copy it. That's truth, and that's simple, clear, and undisputed." (McElhinny again:) If you find Samsung infringed, "you will have reaffirmed the American patent system," - SAMSUNG: (Verhoeven)"Let's have Samsung compete freely in the marketplace instead of Apple trying to stop it in the courtroom."

37		FCC Open Internet Rules	http://www.fcc.gov/guides/open-internet
38		AT&T will only allow FaceTime calls over data if you have a MobileShare plan - According to John Bergmayer, a senior staff attorney with Public Knowledge, AT&T’s plan violates the FCC’s Open Internet rules, specifically one that bars carriers from blocking “applications that compete with the provider’s voice or video telephony services.” - AT&T SVP Bob Quinn argues the FCC provision is meant to precent downloading and using, but FaceTime is buiklt into the OS, so it's different. - QUESTION: Does disallowing FaceTime for some plan holders violate net neutrality any differently than disallowing it for everyone? - QUESTION: If I jailbreak the phone, does AT&T block FaceTime then?	EMAIL: "I've had FaceTime over 3G for sometime now via the magic of the MY3G app from the Cydia store on my jailbroken iPhone. This app tells any of the apps on the iPhone that their are using WIFI even if there is no WIFI in the area and you don't eve. Have to have wifi turned on, on your IPhone. I wonder what Happens if you use this when iOS 6 comes out ? I wonder if it will be like the tethering JB apps that AT&T said would automatically change your plan on e they had pricing in place for tethering,? Thanks D."

74		Hello, just listened to episode 568 and have a comment on your discussion of using tablets as content creation devices. I purchased Numbers & Pages shortly after they came out in the app store. The first time I tried to create a spreadsheet on my iPad I quickly ran back to my Macbook to make the spreadsheet. Recently I had a situation where I needed to update a spreadsheet while I was working outside running heavy equipment. I created my spreadsheet on my MBA and saved it to iCloud. The following day I was able to keep updating my spreadsheet on my iPhone while I was working. I would stop the tractor for a short period of time, update the spreadsheet, and keep working. It took a little bit to figure out the tricks to the interface of Numbers on the iPhone but it was very useable and I was quite impressed with what I was able to do. While a laptop/desktop is a better tool to create & update a lot of things it is not only possible but very useable to do things on tablets & smartphones when using a laptop isn't possible. Reminds me of the old saying about necessity being the mother of invention. Tim

12	tm	Those of you tired of the Samsung-Apple patent case, I'm thinking of you Judge Koh, should be happy to know that closing arguments are done and it's headed to the jury. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Samsung corporate strategy chief Gee-Sung Choi had a nice chat but didn't resolve anything. The jury must reach a unanimous verdict on Samsung's alleged uinfringement of 7 Apple patents as well as counterclaims Apple infringed 5 Samsung patents. Those of you who love patent cases, I'm thinking of... lawyers? should know that a separate Samsung-Apple case is moving ahead in the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington.	http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/apple-samsung-patent-case-headed-to-jury/2012/08/21/2b36414e-eb86-11e1-9ddc-340d5efb1e9c_story.html

The SX160 has a 16x optical zoom lens and the SX 500 has a 30x optical zoom. These are point and shoot cameras, so they’re supposed to still be able to fit in your hands.

17	sl	Yesterday, a post on Techcrunch titled "Apple Is Not The Most Valuable Company In The History Of The World" made the point that while Apple's 661 billion dollar market value is impressive, with inflation in account, IBM remains the historic winner with a 1967 value of $1.3 trillion. But the article was citing the Columbia Journalism Review that was incorrect. IBM's 1967 market cap in today’s dollars is $192.3 billion. Microsoft is still #1 when you account for inflation. Its market cap, “was actually about $856 billion in constant dollars, $235 billion more than Apple’s current market cap.”	http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/20/apple-is-not-the-most-valuable-company-in-the-history-of-the-world-ibm-won-the-prize-in-1967-with-a-value-of-1-3-trillion/
18	ia	It looks like RadioShack is entering the wireless business. Engadget published a screenshot of a RadioShack announcement heralding the arrival of its “RadioShack No Contract Wireless” service to be powered by Cricket Wireless. The announcement also says that if you go with RadioShack, you’ll also get access to Muve Music which is supposed to give you unlimited full-song downloads. It’s supposed to launch on September 5th.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/20/radioshack-mvno-launch-september-5/
19	tm	Barnes and Noble lost $41 million in Q2, down from $57 million for the same period last year. The closing of competitior Borders probably boosted retail sales, as did booming sales of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Digital results were mixed. Online sales fell 7.6% but not for eBooks. Digital content rocketed up 46%. The Nook business remained flat.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/21/barnes-noble-2013-q1/
20	sl	US District Judge William Alsup, who oversaw the Oracle v. Google lawsuit, wants to know who Google may have paid to write about the trial. Google previously produced a general list of "types" of people at universities, grant recipients, Google employees, and bloggers that get money from the search giant and would have been in a position to comment on the case if they chose to. In a court document filed last Friday, Google denied specifically paying any of these individuals to write about the case, but that's not good enough for Alsup, who wrote that as it stands, Google hasn't complied with his order.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/judge-google-didnt-follow-show-your-shills-order/
21	tm	Microsoft is opening up 500,000 registrations for the company's Xbox Live fall dashboard beta program today.

28		Graph of days to crack based on password length	http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/08/passwords-under-assault/4/	SCREEN
29		Dan Goodin at Ars Technica has an in-depth piece on the state of password protection - Back in 2007, an verage web user maintained 25 separate accounts but uses just 6.5 passwords (study from Microsoft Research) - A PC running a single AMD Radeon HD7970 GPU, for instance, can try on average an astounding 8.2 billion password combinations each second. - free password cracking programs such as oclHashcat-plus require little tinkering, forums allow pooling of resources	- The ever-growing list of leaked passwords allows programmers to write rules that make cracking algorithms faster and more accurate; Hash lists are dumped daily on pastebin. - 2009 hack of RockYou.com exposed 32 million plaintext passwords, 14 million unique, run those through hash, and now you can get many hashed passwords, the more password leaks happen the better the list gets - Lists like RockYou also reveal techniques like adding "!!" at the end of passwords, or transforming S to $. - So "Julia1984" would take 19 days to brute force UNLESS you know proper names and years are a pattern. Then you use a mask attack it takes 90 seconds. - Harder passwords are bruteforced to build a better database of patterns - Goodin also explains Rainbow Tables, importance of salting passwords, and secure hashing algorithms (SHA1, MD5, and DES are NOT secure) - Upshot, Use a unique password for each site, and unique from the rest of the world!, Minimum of 10 characters.

32		- Google testing move from 10 to 7 results, with more from top domain hit - News isn't included in 7, box included by Google Universal Search. Images also extra - Why only 20% and not all the results? It seems that Google is tying the new display format to whether “sitelinks” appear with listings. - doesn't seem to apply to brands only. "england" brings up sitelinks too - Danny Sullivan notes also a rise in results from same site in single query. "track android phone" search result, 4 results from same site - It’s been happening for several weeks, with reports stronger since Google’s Penguin Update. - WHAT'S THE POINT? brands push down negative/competing content?	SEOmoz.com's Dr. Peter Meyers used Mozcast Google “turbulance”prediction tool to see how many results have 7 rather than 10. set of 1000 queries & 10 Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) measured every 24 hours. 20% of(SERPs) at Google now show only 7 listings. GOOG statement: We’re continuing to work out the best ways to show multiple results from a single site when it’s clear users are interested in that site. Separately, we’re also experimenting with varying the number of results per page, as we do periodically. Overall our goal is to provide the most relevant results for a given query as quickly as possible, whether it’s a wide variety of sources or navigation deep into a particular source. There’s always room for improvement, so we’re going to keep working on getting the mix right.

72		On your show today you guys (and gal) were discussing the merits of being able to see multiple news stories in one view, and how tablets and phones are disadvantaged to news papers this way. Have you tried the app called Pulse (Pulse.me) for ios and android devices, and now with a new web interface? I totally agree that most rss feed apps lack "info density" but this one is great for that! You can't skim through as much as a paper, but you can subscribe to tons of different sources and scroll through them in one view instead of flipping and clicking like Flipboard. Give it a whirl and it would be cool to hear your thoughts! Sandi Puett Novato CA

74		TNT’ers! Many of the tech new outlets have a great headline today: Judge says Google Failed to Comply with Court Order! The Judge ordered both Google and Oracle to disclose those who might have received payments from Google that might have been influencers on their behalf. I think it was not a very well-worded request and definitely overbroad. If I recall correctly, Google's response was that the request needed to be clarified and narrowed because responding to the broadest possible interpretation would result in a uselessly high number of names. It is perfectly normal to respond in a very narrow manner and request further clarification. Yes, that will result in a "failed to comply" response from the court, but it is just part of the process. I have had to do this myself on a couple of occasions, on a MUCH smaller scale, of course. So, I think it can be a bit misleading when that quote is read out of context since it makes it look as if Google was either snubbing the court, or trying to hide something. Vance

76		Hey TNT, Yesterday you were talking about what to call this hardware development surge coming out of Silicon valley. I think It already has a name: The Internet of things. While it's not a perfect name applied to an individual piece of hardware, all of these devices are either talking to the internet directly or through your phone: A game console where you get your games from the internet A watch that talks to your phone (which is talking to the internet) A little printer that outputs pictures/data from the internet. All of these things are headless mini-computers that take their orders from the internet. The folks down in the valley aren't really changing their tune. They're still working on the internet, just from a different angle. thanks for the show, it's awesome. -Aaron Eiche (Ike)

78		Hi TnT, I've been working in the tech industry for more than 20 years and what happened at Onlive is not unusual, I've been at two different companies where a similar thing has happened. In both cases the company is inherently viable but had some baggage that prevented it from being a going concern. In Onlive's case it sounds like the problem was two fold, too much debt and leases on too many servers. Usually, the only option other than "Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors" is to simply go under and let the creditors scavenge the pieces. Selling isn't an option because the baggage prices the company out of the market. Rob from Toronto

Now Disney and News Corp. can turn around and license programming to another third-party, i.e. YouTube, which could dilute Hulu's competitive advantage in the marketplace. • No more content parity. ABC.com and Fox.com will be able to hold back certain content to differentiate their own sites from Hulu, which was once entitled to everything on the networks' sites. • Exclusive "super-distribution" rights Hulu once retained to syndicate content to third-party sites like Yahoo and AOL would revert back to Disney and News Corp. • Fox wants to increase to four ads per commercial pod on Hulu.com.	Rhode Island-based Providence invested $100 million in Hulu, which amounts to a 10% stake, when the joint venture launched. Given that private equity's typical modus operandi is to hang on long enough to turn a tidy profit, it came as little surprise four months ago when reports surfaced that Providence was seeking an exit that would effectively double its investment given Hulu's $2 billion valuation.

77		Hey TNT crew, On episode 567, you guys discussed the use case for buying the Windows 8 tablet over a Windows RT one. I think a lot of people can't get passed the term "tablet", and thus consider their usage to be limited. However, if a keyboard is to be included with the Windows 8 tablets, it actually becomes a MacBook Air competitor, rather than iPad. Personally, as a web developer who likes to travel, this one device can cater for both of my needs. Love the show, and keep up the good work. Joe

28		Interpreting some of Twitter’s API changes	http://www.marco.org/2012/08/16/twitter-api-changes
29		3 CHANGES TO API: - required authentication on every API endpoint (If your application is currently using the Twitter API without using OAuth, you will need to update your application before March 2013.) - a new per-endpoint rate-limiting methodology (In version 1.1, we will provide per-endpoint rate limiting on the API. While an application that only accesses one endpoint may be more restricted, applications that use multiple endpoints will run into rate limiting issues less frequently. Right now, in version 1.0 of the Twitter API we limit the number of authenticated requests applications can make to 350 calls per hour) - changes to our Developer Rules of the Road, especially around applications that are traditional Twitter clients. (display guidelines now requirements, If your application already has more than 100,000 individual user tokens, you'll be able to maintain and add new users to your application until you reach 200% of your current user token count (as of today) — as long as you comply with our Rules of the Road. Once you reach 200% of your current user token count, you'll be able to maintain your application to serve your users, but you will not be able to add additional users without our permission.) - devs have six months once 1.1 rolls out	response: paul haddad of tapbots, maker of tweetbot: The sky is not falling, I’d obviously prefer that there wasn’t any cap, but the current cap is pretty huge and we aren’t going anywhere. - marco arment, instapaper on the the token number: Instapaper’s “Liked By Friends” feature reads timelines and will need more than 100,000 tokens. And that’s a relatively minor feature in a small web service run by one guy. - more from marco: Twitter’s own Mac and iPad apps, both also acquired as versions of Tweetie, haven’t been meaningfully updated in many months. Both lack significant features and have glaring bugs, and neither of them comply with the Display “Guidelines”. - if twitter owns experience on 3rd party clients, what happens to filters like "mute"? - what happens to something like Flipboard? [3a] Reply, Retweet, and Favorite action icons must always be visible for the user to interact with the Tweet. [5b] “The Twitter logo or Follow button for the Tweet author must always be displayed in the top right corner.

70	sl	Hey Dynamite Department, You guys are forgetting one important thing about the rumored Apple set-top cable box: Such a box would undoubtedly be smaller than existing cable boxes. Have you seen most cable boxes? They're ridiculously big! I used to have a Scientific Atlanta non-DVR cable box attached to a 13-inch, 1997-vintage TV in my bedroom. Because there wasn't much space to work with, I had the cable box sitting on top of the TV. It barely fit on there, and generally looked downright ridiculous. Cable boxes with built-in DVRs are even bigger and uglier than that. Also, I've read that cable boxes in general tend to be underpowered to keep costs as low as possible, often making channel changing agonizingly slow. The sad thing is, most of the cable box I had was empty space -- all the functionality could easily fit into something about the size of the current Apple TV. So if Apple wants to get into the cable set-top box market, I'm all for it. In fact, it seems to be a market in need of a major shakeup -- something Apple is pretty good at. Mike

72	ia	Hey TNT Crew, While not mockbusters, I've spent a number of years making some pretty awful movies (many of which are currently on Netflix). I highly doubt that Netflix is responsible for any hypothetical rise in production. Netflix deals are nice, but it's kind of the video equivalent of a 3rd run theater. At the low end, nobody's making enough money off of a Netflix sale to justify producing anything. These movies are being made for TV & VOD and are simply being seen a lot on Netflix because other content is disappearing off of the service. Best, -Colin

11		News Fuse - Top 10		VIDEO
12	sl	Earlier this month Microsoft made Windows 8 available to PC and tablet makers in its final version, and this week developers gets their hot little/big hands on Windows 8 RTM through their MSDN subscriptions. The OS is basically complete, besides a few tweaks and fixes between now and the October launch. Volume license customers without Software Assurance can purchase Windows 8 from Volume License Resellers as of Sept. 1.	http://www.informationweek.com/software/operating-systems/windows-8-rtm-8-changes-from-release-pre/240005637
13	ia	The Department of Justice approved Verizon's deal with SpectrumCo to buy unused spectrum under conditions that limit the companies' agreements to sell each other's services. The DOJ said that if the deal was left unaltered as the original proposal, that customers would be hit with higher prices and lower quality. However, by accepting the DOJ's conditions, the agency says competition will be promoted.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-16/verizon-comcast-airwaves-accord-wins-antitrust-approval-1-.html
14	sl	According to emails dating back to 2010 shown to the jury in the trial that McKayla Moroney not not impressed by, oh wait, that's Judge Lucy Koh, Google asked Samsung to change the design of its phones and tablets to look less like Apple's. “Since it is too similar to Apple, make it noticeably different starting with the front side,” the message, stemming from comments a senior designer made, says, referring to one of Samsung’s tablets.	http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-15/google-asked-samsung-to-make-design-less-like-apple-lawyer-says
15	ia	Lenovo reported some quarterly financials. The company increased its first quarter profit by 30%. Net income was $141.M for the quarter compared to $108.8M last year. During an earnings call, Lenovo's CEO mentioned that the company was not pleased that Microsoft is entering the hardware game as a competitor and said Lenovo will provide better equipment than everybody including MS.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57494264-92/lenovo-dings-microsoft-surface-well-provide-better-hardware/
16		Lenovo Earnings Rise 30% As PC Maker Boosts Market Share	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-16/lenovo-earnings-rise-30-as-pc-maker-boosts-market-share.html
17	sl	The Apple TV rumors are back! But the story's not very different than it was a few months ago. The story is, Apple wants to work with U.S. cable operators to let their consumers use an Apple device as a set-top box for live television and other content. This could prove attractive to the operators who either want to get out of the set top business, feel this is the next logical step after already creating their own iPad apps, or both. Then again, letting Apple gain a foothold in the TV biz could just be scary enough to keep actual deals at bay.	http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB10000872396390444233104577591713616924328-lMyQjAxMTAyMDEwNTAxODU3Wj.html
18	ia	Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane - no wait - I think that's a satellite broadband system. Bloomberg reports that Dish is prepping a nationwide broadband-Internet service. Dish would use the EchoStar 17 satellite, which is owned by a sister company, EchoStar. Download speeds can reach 15Mbps, but when Dish will likely offer rates of 5Mbps. The system could handle approximately 2 million customers. Hooray competition.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-15/dish-network-said-to-plan-nationwide-satellite-broadband-service.html
19	sl	WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been granted political asylum by the Ecuadorian government after taking refuge in its London embassy on June 19. The asylum decision follows a U.K. Supreme Court ruling in May authorizing Assange's extradition to Sweden to face questioning over alleged sexual crimes. Ecuadorian foreign minister Ricardo Patino said his government had given the matter "extreme and careful consideration." But Assange won't get safe passage out of the country. Police remain on the doorstep of the Ecuadorian embassy, poised to arrest the WikiLeaks founder should he leave the building.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57494222-38/wikileaks-julian-assange-granted-asylum-in-ecuador/
20	ia	Make sure your friends don't talk to the feds, folks. A recent court order by US District Judge William Pauley III said that a defendant's expectation of privacy ended when he published things on Facebook that are visible to friends. Those friends are free to share the information with anyone including the government. In the case, the defendant tried to keep evidence out because information he posted on Facebook was produced by one of his Facebook friends who was also a government informant.	http://gigaom.com/2012/08/15/friends-can-share-your-facebook-profile-with-the-government-court-rules/
21	sl	Let's talk nanometers! Specifically, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 660 Ti with 28nm Kepler action! For $299 you’ll start off with a base clock speed of 915MHz and no less than two dual-link DVI outs, HDMI, and a DisplayPort 1.2. Not much different than the same package as the GTX 670 but a much more reasonable price.	http://www.slashgear.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-660-ti-brings-kepler-power-with-a-cut-on-cost-16243092/
22	ia	H.264 compression, meet your successor - H.265. The Motion Picture Experts Group announced it is drafting H.265 compression that would be twice as efficient as H.264. That would mean higher quality video in less bytes. The tech could be ready to use as soon as next year.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/mpeg-drafts-twice-as-efficient-h-265-video-standard/

31		- Windows 8 RTM is available via MSDN and TechNet, so all kinds of info are pouring in - Since Win8 is a vast departure from previous editions, there's a tutorial video. It's brief and Ars Technica says there's no obvious way to rewatch it. What's in there? - Revised icons, more background images available for the Start screen - Desktop app tiles are treated differently in the RTM. Previously, the tile would have a tiny icon with large writing. Now, desktop apps get a large icon with smaller writing. - Areo fans, bad news. It's really almost entirely dead. The only remnant is translucent taskbar - but even that's not the same. It uses the predominant hue of the desktop and uses that color as your taskbar color (you can change the color if you want). - The Win8 Desktop flattened theme is meant to not jar users going between Metro (or Modern) to Desktop. However, Ars had issue with the fact the start screen and desktop screens don't share common color schemes	Apps - Bing App! autocompletes searches, suggestions appear as tiles. Engadget says the Bing App only handles keyword and image searches. If you want travel info, you'll have to hit the travel app. - People app gets some cosmetic updates - Windows store app now searches like the Start Screen - Minesweeper, Solitaire, Majong and Xbox SmartGlass are new with RTM

35		- the news is back that Apple is talking to cable operators for its next-gen Apple TV - reported back in Feb by Bloomberg citing talks with ATT, Verizon - settop box replacement, allowing content from TV providers (they already offer ipad apps) - the partners might have advanced, but the issue is the same. to change the way people watch TV, you must invent a new pay model. No provider is interested in that right now.

49		- Google Maps for Android only - 500 cities and one million transit stops worldwide. - choose between train, tram, bus, subway. see departure times, stops, route - My Places feature- now easier to access saved offline maps. if you have Location History enabled, “browse the places you’ve been on a daily basis with an updated Location History dashboard.” - iOS going forward with own maps. will we see a standalone Gmaps app? will this kill apps like HopStop?	G+ opens links in Chrome app - directing links to particular apps, provided by Apple. It’s called URL schemes and its an official tool that Apple gives developers that allows them to communicate with apps from ‘outside’. If you want to send a post to Twitter from outside of the app itself, for instance, developers can use the “twitter://post?message” URL scheme, which will open the Twitter app with a new message ready to go.

Well, I'm 13, and here is the future 20 years from now: To start, cats will still be popular. (Duh) Food and other items will just appear as soon as you buy them. Everyone will be broke because of impulse purchasing. Everything will be streamed holographically or something. (Lessons, etc. Classes and work will just take place at your house, and at that other guy's house too. Leo will be a robot. Cat food cupcakes will be all the rage. Thanks, love the show. Jack

12	sl	Samsung has officially announced U.S. pricing for its 10-inch Galaxy Note tablet that comes in two colors, deep gray and white. the 16GB model costs $499, 32gb is $549. Although in the US the Note is Wi-Fi-only Note 10.1 for now, Samsung says it plans to launch a 4G LTE-ready version later this year, as well as upgrade to Jelly Bean.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57493187-94/quad-core-samsung-galaxy-note-10.1-tablet-costs-$500-$550/
13	ia	Microsoft is touting its new version of SkyDrive.com. It's got a brand new design consistent with the look and feel of Windows 8 - big bold tiles and flat colors. Microsoft also released updates to its Skydrive apps for OS X and Windows. The company also announced Skydrive for Android which will be available in "just a few weeks." Microsoft also updated SkyDrive for developers.	http://windowsteamblog.com/skydrive/b/skydrive/archive/2012/08/14/a-new-modern-skydrive-com-updated-apps-and-outlook-com-at-10-million-users.aspx
14	sl	MOAR iPad Mini rumors! The latest? It'll “look like a big iPod touch” with thinner bezels along the sides in portrait mode, & separate volume buttons rather than the current “rocker” hardware, and a mic on the back. That's according to a variety of mockups making their way to the blogs, and there's a lot of variety in the mockups, too. Rear-facing camera? Not sure. Thinner? Maybe. LTE? Who knows? But with more and more leaks, it's starting to feel a little less mythical.	http://9to5mac.com/2012/08/14/ipad-mini-will-look-like-a-large-ipod-touch-with-smaller-side-bezels-gallery/
15	ia	Apparently Twitter co-founders Biz Stone and Ev Williams have a lot of free time because the two are backing a new publishing tool called "Medium." In a blog post, Williams said Medium "is re-imagining publishing in an attempt to make an evolutionary leap." Medium will be collaborative, but the user will be able to chose what level others can contribute.	https://medium.com/p/9e53ca408c48
16	sl	Amazon’s shell company Harpers LLC, has filed something interesting with the FCC, large, 10-inch 4:3 screen device that should launch in the fall. The accompanying image isn't very descriptive, but we should know more before December when the rest of the files are unsealed. In other Amazon news, a Chrome extension called "Send to Kindle for Google Chrome." will add a button to Chrome that lets you send stories, blog posts, and the like directly to your Kindle device and apps.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/15/fcc-filing-points-to-larger-kindle-fire/

18	ia	Yesterday, Microsoft stopped publishing apps to the Windows Phone Marketplace because it found an issue with its new digital certificates. The bug only affected phones running Windows Phone 7.5 and apps that were published in the past few days. Microsoft warns not to uninstall apps for now because you might not be able to download them again until it issues a fix.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2408493,00.asp
19	sl	U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has ruled that law enforcement does have the right to obtain location data from a cellphone in order to track a suspect without a warrant. This ruling strems from a case involving a convicted drug trafficker, who was part of a cross-country, large-scale drug operation. His attorneys argued that the government’s use of his GPS location information from his phone, which led to his arrest, constituted a warrantless search in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The court, did not see it that way.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/federal-court-rules-cops-can-warantlessly-track-suspects-via-cellphone/
20	ia	So what's Nokia up to? Reuters reports that Nokia CEO Stephen Elop says to expect new hardware running Windows Phone 8 soon. Reuters stressed that Elop did not deny that phones were due for Nokia World, which takes place on Sept 5th and 6th. Elop says a launch would be in "relatively near term."	http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/08/15/nokia-ceo-idINL6E8JF3F320120815
21	sl	Microsoft was super-happy to announce its Windows RT partners yesterday, but count one company out of the launch party. Toshiba announced that it will cancel plans to introduce Windows RT-based machines citing delayed components. Toshiba will instead focus on Windows 8 for now and may look into the Windows RT in the future.	http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-13/toshiba-cancels-windows-rt-devices-on-delay-in-getting-parts
22	ia	Google's released a new tool for all you patent-fans. It's called the Prior Art Finder and it searches through key phrases all over the web including Google's own Google Scholar and Google Patent services to find - you guessed it - prior art. Additionally, Google has added patents filed with the European Patent Office to its Google Patent database.	http://www.informationweek.com/internet/google/google-enhances-patent-search-service/240005483

Toshiba has since cancelled plans to sell WinRT machines due to delayed components that would make a timely launch impossible,” - Toshiba will stick with Windows 8 for x86 - HP: According to John Solomon, senior vice president of HP’s Americas printing and personal systems division, “I believe Microsoft was basically making a leadership statement and showing what’s possible in the tablet space,” Solomon told CRN. “Our relationship has not changed at all due to Microsoft’s announcement. In fact, I applaud it — I think it’s great that they are getting out in front and [demonstrating] what’s possible.” - Solomon, “We will be very focused on the commercial tablet opportunity, which is completely under-penetrated. And, we have some unique intellectual property that we’re going to apply.”	- Rick Sherlund, veteran Microsoft analyst at Nomura, chimes in with his thoughts today, saying: "We do not believe that Microsoft will price Surface at $199, but rather that it would be priced in a similar range with the iPad (around $500)." - Totally in line with what Paul Thurrot has been saying since 1985

Pages pay to show their posts to people who didn’t subscribe to them. - until now Pages only visible to non-fans through ads in the web sidebar or Sponsored Stories (on mobile) if friends had liked the Page. - FB tells TC this is a small test, small # of biz & users - what about companies who've bought ad units and begged users to "like" them for better NF placement, etc? - if you didn't Like anything until now, you helped keep ads off your experience. now what?	on annoyance: “We want to be thoughtful about how we introduce ads in news feed, so we have limits in place to ensure that people’s news feeds are not filled with advertising, but we don’t have specific numbers to share.”

55		RIM tries to win the universe - The company is planning to visit with carriers to reinvigorate BB w/BB10 - In interviews with Cnet and ZDNet, CEO Thorsten Heins explained the roadmap:RIM has two devices that will launch almost in tandem---a touchscreen only device similar to a test device unveiled in May as well as QWERTY version similar to the Bold. The phones are roughly 80 percent to 90 percent complete. - WSJ: Mr. Heins said there will eventually be six phones—three that are all-touch screen and three with physical keyboards. - Telecoms will visit with RIM in Sept. - New refresh cycles: RIM's product cadence going forward, Heins said RIM would target a release schedule "meaningful to carriers." "My gut says launches every 12 to 15 months," he said. - The Verge reports that Heins also says that the carrier switch to 4G tech hurt the adoption of RIM devices - According to the company, extensive research was done in the US to better understand its core users and their habits. - Barriers to entry in the US: On average it takes about four to eight months for a carrier to test a beta version of a phone, said a person familiar with the process. One additional challenge for RIM will be that its new smartphones have a new operating system and design, which typically requires additional checking and time for testing. - Carriers rooting for RIM? The carriers want RIM to succeed to help provide a counterweight to Apple and Google.

78		Hey TNT Crew, I wanted to comment on the story regarding the Florida political attack ad takes issue with self-driving vehicles . I have been a Florida resident for 34 years and I have lived in various parts of the State. somethings you should understand about Florida and why folks might have issues with self-driving vehicles. This State has a VERY large retirement community and they take their rights very seriously especially their right to drive. Anything that seems like a potential threat to this right can cause a huge mess. Retirees will go out and vote more than any other group in Florida. So either someone does not understand what self-driving vehicles could mean or they are using this as a way to attack this candidate to gather a larger support base against him. What these people are missing is the fact that we really could benefit from self-driving vehicles in Florida especially the Retirees. I cannot begin to count the number of accidents I have witnessed and read about with a retired driver crashing their car. Thanks Mike in South Florida

80		Yesterday you mentioned Google exempting YouTube because all the DMCA takedown request there would downrank it into oblivion, and also that there are no whitelists. This made me think of a way this can be used as an attack mechanism. Say I wanted to wipe a competitor off the search results. I could upload a bunch of my own content and then file a takedown notice. This would generate lots of legitimate takedowns, and Google would downrank them, I win at SEO. Yes this would be fraud, but Google's algorithm can't know that, as long as I do it right. And as long as I'm committing fraud, I might as well spoof my mac address and use TOR over someone's public WiFi. - Christian

82		I have some comments on Google-Motorola-layoff-some hardware portion of Motorola retained with Google for streamlined products in future. I was wondering of iphone competition from NOT Android but from Google Chrome. We know that Chrome has not picked up speed in Chromebooks sales and cost does not seem to justify purchase of chromebook. Google may possibly strike a gold deal with Google Chrome and Motorola working together and bringing out awesome Chrome phone. I suspect some portion of Motorola phone division may work closely with Google Chrome and we may see Chrome phone from Google-Motorola in future. That way current Android OEM's need not be much concerned about Google-Motorola working secretly on Android Phone. Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks Niranjan

12	tm	Google claims they're building the next generation of search one little piece at a time and a few of the pieces came out today. Google SVP of search Amit Singhal posted Wednesday evening that voice search capability already in Jelly Bean will come to iOS devices soon. Singhal also announced a limited field trial of Gmail search integrated into regular Google searches. While the Gmail results would only show up when you're logged in and only for you, Jeremiah Grossman of White Hat security posted on Twitter that the hacker in him likes this idea.	http://www.informationweek.com/mobility/smart-phones/google-gmail-search-linkup-makes-waves/240005187

14	sl	Get ready for the ThinkPad Tablet 2, just announced by Lenovo, which kicks off the grand inclusion of Windows 8 into the company's PCs and devices! The tablet has a 10.1-inch screen, weighs under 600 grams and is 9.8 millimeters thick. Inside you'll find Intel's Atom processor code-named Clover Trail. Expect it in October with the Windows 8 Pro OS, which Microsoft will ship the Windows 8 OS on October 26. No word on pricing yet.	http://www.pcworld.com/article/260614/lenovo_kicks_off_windows_8_devices_with_thinkpad_tablet_2.html
15	ia	Starting September 5th, Steam will have more than just games. Valve announced that you’ll be able to use Steam to buy non-gaming software. It’ll work like an app store - simpler installations and automatic updates. Data will also be savable to a Steam Cloud space. Valve says that the first crop of apps will “range from creativity to productivity.”	http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/08/steam-moves-beyond-games-will-offer-variety-of-software-in-september/
16	tm	Nokia announced Thursday it has sold Qt, the cross-platform development framework, to Digia, a Finnish software services company. Digia had previously acquired a portion of Qt from Nokia. Qt allows developers to write an application once and deploy it on multiple operating systems.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57489833-94/nokia-dumps-qt-unit-on-digia/
17	sl	At laaaaaaaast! My app has come along. To the web. Popular news reader Pulse, known and loved by many iOS and Android users, has a new web version! Pulse.me is built entirely from HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, and is accessible from most major browsers on PCs and mobile devices. It'll work well for existing Pulse app users too, and content will sync between versions.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-57489680-2/pulse-leaps-from-app-to-web-at-last/
18	ia	I said we’d report good RIM news if it ever happened so here goes! RIM will NOT have to pay over $140M to Mformation over a patent dispute. RIM was found to infringe on Mformation’s patents, but the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has overturned that ruling. However, it might not be all good news in Waterloo because Mformation does have the option to appeal.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57489814-94/rim-wins-reversal-in-$147.2-million-mformation-patent-case/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title
19	tm	The folks who brought you the Flame malware, suspected to be state-sponsors in the US and or Israel are at it again. Researchers at Kaspersky Lab report the new malware called Gauss steals system information, targets banking credentials in Lebanon and carries a mysterious payload that could be destructive against critical infrastructure. Gauss has been found infecting at least 2,500 machines, most of them in Lebanon.	http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/08/gauss-espionage-tool/
20	sl	You know we keep hearing those rumors that Samsung might buy RIM, and then Samsung denies any interest, and we all get excited that maybe they're lying? After yesterday's news that maybe Samsung was again interested in RIM, or licensing BB10 software, RIM shares jumped up in anticipation of the great news! And Samsung has once again flatly denied the rumors to several media outlets, saying that it “has not considered the acquisition of Research in Motion or licensing BB10.”	http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/samsung-denies-interest-in-rim-blackberry10/2012/08/09/b7134114-e215-11e1-a25e-15067bb31849_story.html
21	tm	Wondering how the hoppers in the TV show The Wire would deal with smartphones? Check out the new iOS app Mini Burner. The app lets you buy a phone number that lasts 20 minutes, 7 days or 60 text messages, whichever you choose. The app costs $2 and comes with 20 minutes of phone. The company only asks for your real phone's number, but it will cooperate with law enforcement and prohibits criminal uses.	http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/08/burner-wants-to-help-you-temporarily-obfuscate-your-phone-number/
22	ia	I wanted to talk about an Akamai study saying global broadband speeds increasing, but then Google did something stupid. The FTC just hit Google with $22.5 million fine for tracking Safari users via cookies. It’s the largest fine ever for a violation of an FTC order, Google was last seen digging through its couch to find the money.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57490035-93/ftc-hits-google-with-$22.5-million-fine-for-safari-tracking/

76		Hi TNT Gang: In Episode 559 you were talking about the upcoming "OS upgrade" on the Curiosity rover. I'm a Tactical Uplink Lead on the mission and also work on the rover's flight software. I wanted to write in with some answers to your questions. 1) What's with the, as Iyaz put it, calculator-like specs? :), Our computer has to be highly reliable, very low power and robust against the higher radiation on the Martian surface. You have to make some trade-offs. Having written software for both the Opportunity and Curiosity rovers, I'm very happy with the performance boost we have with Curiosity. 2) Why did we wait until landing to do the upgrade? As noted, we have constraints on memory. Now that we've landed we can replace the code that got us to Mars with extra functionality for the surface like autonomous driving. 3) How to avoid becoming a 1-ton Martian brick? We have lots of redundancy in the system. We have an entirely separate backup computer which we won't update until we know the first computer is working. Each computer has backups of the current software which the rover will switch to if it has problems with the new software. current software that we'll fall back to if something goes wrong. And our first run of the new software is something we call a "toe dip" where the rover tries out the new software then switches back to the current version. It stays with it until we analyze the results of the toe-dip and confirm all is well. And, of course, we test the heck out of it! We've been developing and testing the upgrade procedure for months now. While I certainly wouldn't compare the upgrade to the thrills of landing night, it will definitely be the most exciting OS upgrade I've ever been a part of! Thanks for the podcasts and all the great rover coverage! I listen in the mornings while out jogging with the dog.

15	ia	In the Apple vs. Samsung case of amazingness, Apple presented a Samsung document that shows Samsung comparing its Galaxy S1 UI to the iPhone. The “relative evaluation report” shows a multitude of comparisons including the dial screens of both saying that the Samsung implementation has “poor utilization of space.” Legal experts expect the arguments to go like this: Apple’s going to argue, “See! They copied us!” and Samsung will say, “Nuh uh, we looked at more than Apple’s phone!”	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57488930-37/apple-cites-samsung-doc-as-proof-it-wanted-to-copy-iphone/

Howard D. Schultz, Starbucks’s CEO will join Square’s board. - takes Square into big league from small indie retailers in limited areas. Last quarter Starbucks reported $3.3B in revenue. In June Square announced that the company is now processing $6B in annual sales (GLOBALLY). Add credit/debit card sales from Starbucks over the course of the year & numbers should be amazing	- Starbucks own payments apps will still work for now. tough for Square to catch on, limited partners, low incentive for customers to switch away from CC. does this justify their model? does Starbucks have anything to lose here?

41		- TechRadar reports MS is working on the next gen Surfaces basing this assertion on job postings “We are currently building the next generation and Surface needs you!" - The jobs listings are varied. MS is looking for mechanical engineers, component specialists, driver developers, material engineers. - Every job description mentions "fast-paced product development cycles" so we expect Microsoft to be keeping up with the launch schedules of other PC and tablet makers. So what can we expect in Surface 2? - Gizmodo did some guessing. MS is looking for an expert in “finishing processes such as paint, plating and PVD” - PVD can be used to waterproof a device - search for engineers for alternative power sources - search for engineer to work on both “passive and active cooling thermal designs…” “And we'll know for sure when a waterproof, battery-sipping, icebox-cool Surface 2 hits shelves just in time for the 2013 holiday season.”

It will create a huge negative impact for the ecosystem and other brands may take a negative reaction." Microsoft has acknowledged to the SEC that competing directly with manufactures might "affect their commitment" to the firm's platform. Wang puts it more bluntly. "It is not something you are good at,"he says. "so please think twice."	http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/07/acer-tells-microsoft-to-think-twice-about-surface/

Two weeks ago, the firm filed suit against 3taps and Padmapper, accusing them of copyright and trademark infringement. Then it changed its terms of service in a way that prohibited reposting of ads which ruffled some user's feathers. Now Craigslist has reportedly told major search engines to stop indexing its users postings. That could cut off 3taps, which began to scrape search engines for Craigslist postings to avoid violating the terms of service.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/craigslist-reportedly-blocks-search-engines-to-kill-competitors/

36		Email from JK Shin, Samsung’s head of mobile communications bemoaning the difference in user experience between Samsung and Apple smartphones. - Monday morning, when Samsung legal counsel John Quinn mentioned the “crisis of design” moment in a question to Samsung strategist Justin Denison - Samsung strategy head Justin Denison: “Samsung does an excellent job of remaining very humble, self critical and maintaining a sense of urgency within its own ranks " called the comment hyperbolic. - Dennison said Samsung has beaten Apple to market with voice recognition and large screen size. - Apple called electronics and design Pennsylvania Professor Peter Bressler (70 patents) - Samsung pressed him on minute details about the measurements of rounded corners. - Samsung got Bressler to admit he is not an expert in phone functions, Apple got Dennison to admit he had never designed a phone.	- “Influential figures outside the company come across the iPhone, and they point out that ‘Samsung is dozing off.’ All this time we’ve been paying all our attention to Nokia, and concentrated our efforts on things like Folder, Bar, Slide. Yet when our UX is compared to the unexpected competitor Apple’s iPhone, the difference is truly that of Heaven and Earth. It’s a crisis of design.” “I hear things like this: Let’s make something like the iPhone.” And again: “When everybody (both consumers and the industry) talk about UX, they weigh it against the iPhone. The iPhone has become the standard. That’s how things are already.” And yet again: “Do you know how difficult the Omnia is to use? When you compare the 2007 version of the iPhone with our current Omnia, can you honestly say the Omnia is better? If you compare the UX with the iPhone, it’s a difference between Heaven and Earth.”

74		I used to work as a game designer for a company that was trying to create a Facebook game that actually did have some fairly different game mechanics. It had some of the standard stuff in there, but there were genuinely new innovations that would have distinguished the game nicely from the rest of the games on the site. Unfortunately, as great as the game was, upper management looked at it and got frightened that it was too different. They wanted to stick to the ""sure ground,"" the safe path of the tried and true. We've all heard this story before, I'm sure. The problem with the Facebook story in particular here is that the Facebook social game ecosystem arose so quickly that Zynga's pattern for success was established all but overnight (or at least it feels like overnight to most of us.) Zynga got really big really quickly, relatively speaking, and so very few people have ever tried other approaches to social games. People fell right away into that trap of sticking to the known quantity. We really don't know if other social game models could be successful. Maybe this means it was just as well that the project got switch to the clone route. I prefer to hope that there is room for differentiation, if only someone has the will to go through with creating one and sticking with it to allow it to rise above the sea of sameness we're stuck in for now. ========================= Gordon S.

This has, and continues to be, a big issue in the US & internationally and so I wondered if you could promote this consultation to your European viewers.

Metro AG operates the Media Markt and Saturn consumer electronics stores. Until a new name is created, Microsoft will use the snappy "Windows 8-style UI" when talking about Windows 8 applications, and "New User Interface" when talking about the company's full product line-up.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/2/3216545/microsoft-metro-branding-memo-european-partner

32		- 7th Circuit Court of Appeals says video bookmarking site myVidster is not infringing copyright laws by embedding videos. Sued by the porn production company Flava Works in 2010. Flava Works obtained a preliminary injunction against myVidster with a lower court ruling in 2011, but 7th Court judge Richard Posner threw out that decision - not biz as usual: myVidester used to offer caching feature for paying members to store copies of videos on its own servers. can't do that - Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) sided with the porn studio, and Facebook and Google filed amicus letters for myVidster.	JUDGE ON MYVIDSTER: “myVidster is giving web surfers addresses where they can find entertainment. By listing plays and giving the name and address of the theaters where they are being performed, the New Yorker is not performing them. It is not “transmitting or communicating” them… myVidster doesn’t touch the data stream, which flows directly from one computer to another, neither being owned or operated by myVidster.” - JUDGE ON PUBLIC: “But as long as the visitor makes no copy of the copyrighted video that he is watching, he is not violating the copyright owner’s exclusive right… His bypassing Flava’s pay wall by viewing the uploaded copy is equivalent to stealing a copyrighted book from a bookstore and reading it. That is a bad thing to do (in either case) but it is not copyright infringement.”

Why not?	MCV is comprised of Fox, NBC, Telemundo, Pearl Mobile DTV and ION. The Pearl member companies include: Belo Corp., Cox Media Group, E.W. Scripps General, Inc., Gannett Broadcasting, Hearst, Media General, Meredith Corp., Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc. and Raycom Media. The wireless industry, MCV argues, can benefit from a second network that runs parallel to the cellular one. "Broadcasters are selling this as a way to solve spectrum challenges," said Jot Carpenter, CTIA's vice president of government affairs, in a recent interview with CNET. "We think there's a lot of broadcast spectrum that lies fallow and can be put to better use."

I give you Sprints HD Voice feature: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5726/sprint-hd-voice-on-htc-evo-4g-lte-is-evrcnw-1x-advanced Thanks, love the show, Brian	Hi TNT crew, In episode 556 Tom was joking about HD Phone Calls with Danny Sullivan, but so called "HD Voice" is actually available from VoIP providers like Ooma. You all know about the Ooma Telo. I've had mine since January and love it. Phone calls with even a non HD cordless phone are better than I ever had from a traditional landline. http://www.ooma.com/products/ooma-purevoice I suggest Danny Sullivan could start with a quality phone like those from Panasonic and forget about any horrible phone that AT&T makes. It's not the first time I've heard that "underwater" description and AT&T phone is almost always the cause. Love the show. Thanks for keeping me informed. Best, Doug

75		I had just watched Episode 556 and believe your speculation of how the Aereo lawsuit would affect the future wasn't broad enough. This win could result in local affiliates picking up a similar business model and broadcasting their signal over the internet. This could result in a win/win for the networks, this would be a measurable revenue stream for the networks and the affiliate especially if they get Neilson involved. I would be worried if i were a cable provider though, because if my local stations here in Lexington, Kentucky had an internet broadcast I would cut the cord today! The Networks should be looking at this as a way to continue maybe even expand their current revenue stream. Bryant B Lexington KY

76		Good evening everyone, I was thinking about the Nexus Q. Google said the device is hackable and advises people to hack the device. I would think there are many hackers in the world willing to get their hands on a very powerful and hackable device at the $300 price. Maybe Google was expecting only a few Q’s to be pre-ordered. After Google saw a reasonable amount of people pre-order the device, they stopped the pre-orders. Now with all the pre-order customer’s receiving a free Nexus Q and everyone who attended the Google I/O has their Nexus Q. Now Google has a pretty sizeable development team, or beta testers, for the Nexus Q. What is the possibility Google will re-launch the Nexus Q at a lower price point, around November and December? There is plenty of time between now and December for Google to incorporate new functionality, designed by everyone with a Nexus Q, in the device. Love the TWiT network. From, Adam van Kuik

78		I'm in the middle of writing a review of Amazon's new Instant Video iPad app for our blog, and I've found that things aren't quite as great as you portrayed in yesterday's show. For the app, there are two disappointing factors: Video won't work over AirPlay at all—not even through Mirroring. Apple has designed iPad screen mirroring so that it handles video playback the same way that it would if you were trying to send the video itself. So in the case of this app, you'll see the app over AirPlay mirroring until you play the video, then it reverts to audio only over AirPlay. When you stop the video, the app appears on your screen again. This is disappointing, but not surprising, since this is true with every other app we've tested. Also, you can only stream video over WiFi. If you've downloaded videos that you've rented or owned, you can watch them without connectivity, but you cannot stream or download videos over 3G/4G/LTE. This is particularly frustrating since competing apps like those for Netflix and Hulu Plus do allow you to watch over your built-in wireless connection. One more note: You mentioned that Android tablet users can just watch Amazon Instant Video through the browser. That's true, but not for you and me—our Nexus 7s, don't support Flash...no tablet running Android 4.1 or later will. Sorry to be the picky editor, but I figured your listeners would appreciate the full picture of this service's limitations. Richard Gunther

12	tm	Samsung won a small victory on Monday in their patent battle with Apple. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit extended the suspension of the preliminary injunction on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. However in Dsitrict Court in San Jose, Samsung got in trouble for telling the press about evidence the judge had excluded from the trial. Samsung claimed the excluded design would have helped them prove they didn't copy the iPhone. Samsung told the court the information was publicly available anyway, so they're should be no harm in talking about it outside the courtroom.	http://allthingsd.com/20120731/samsung-goes-public-with-excluded-evidence-to-undercut-apples-design-claims/

But here's a plus- offline viewing options for movies and shows purchased or rented through Amazon. In Amazon's Cloud Player news, the company had wrapped up licensing agreements with "Sony, EMI, Universal,, Warner, and more than 150 indie labels and distributors" and has rolled out a new scan-and-match service.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/1/3212273/amazon-instant-video-ipad-app

17	tm	Google is getting serious about forcing developers to use the Google Play payment system to sell apps to Android users. Chris Yerga, engineering director for Google Play told Inside Mobile Apps that Google is "making it explicit for applications and in-app purchases that developers are required to use the Google Play system." Developers have 30 days to comply, although Google will make exceptions for apps that sell physical goods or services such as movie tickets.	http://www.insidemobileapps.com/2012/07/31/google-drops-the-hammer-on-third-party-android-billing-services-apps-must-use-googles-billing-system/
18	sl	AMD has announced it's hired away Jim Keller, the head of Apple’s chip design operations, to run its chief microprocessor architect. Keller had been with Apple since its 2008 acquisition of PA Semi. His primary job had been to work on Apple’s A4 and A5 processors, the ones that go inside the iPhone and the iPad. Keller's no stranger to AMD's business though, in fact he was the original architectect of AMD’s Athlon line of processors.	http://allthingsd.com/20120801/amd-hires-apples-head-chip-designer/

21	sl	Are you a Verizon customer who'd just like to download an Android app that will turn your phone into a mobile hotspot, and feel slighted by Verizon, who blocks apps like that because they don't want you getting around their $20 mobile hotspot fee? The FCC is on your side, and has determined that Verizon can't enforce this, because it had purchased spectrum back in 2008 that required it to allow open access to its network. Verizon has settled with the FCC to the tune of a $1.25M payment to the U.S. Treasury.	http://gigaom.com/mobile/fcc-tells-verizon-you-cant-block-tethering-apps-verizon-settles-for-1-25m/

Turns out a Dropbox employee email account was accessed by a third-party and a document full of email addresses was obtained there. In an unrelated breach, Dropbox revealed hackers had accessed dropbox user accounts by using passwords taken from non-dropbox sites. The company announced new security policies will come soon including two-factor authentication, and urged users not to use the same password in multiple places.	http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/07/dropbox-confirms-it-got-hacked-will-offer-two-factor-authentication/

29		- yesterday afternoon Samsung issued press release detailing what Judge Lucy Koh refused to hear in court. strength of public opinion? - the scene on Monday: Samsung lawyer John Quinn asks the court to hear further arguments and allow evidence showing early designs for P700 predate iPhone. - Judge Lucy Koh denies him, she's already heard 3 motions to reconsider. - Quinn says he's begging for this, something he said he hadn’t done in his 30-plus years of law. - Koh isn't having it. “You’ve made your record for appeal,” Koh said. “Don’t make me sanction you, please.” - Apple legal calls the PR move "contemptible". - Koh is pissed, wants to see Quinn, who drafted/authorized press release - does public opinion really matter? what's the goal here? people buy more samsung on principle?	"The Judge’s exclusion of evidence on independent creation meant that even though Apple was allowed to inaccurately argue to the jury that the F700 was an iPhone copy, Samsung was not allowed to tell the jury the full story and show the pre-iPhone design for that and other phones that were in development at Samsung in 2006, before the iPhone. The excluded evidence would have established beyond doubt that Samsung did not copy the iPhone design. Fundamental fairness requires that the jury decide the case based on all the evidence."

Brazil up 146% this year to 54M, and India was up 84% to 59M. good for emerging markets but ad rate in US is higher.	- key issue: FB mobile diplays occasional sponsored story. web version displays up to 7 ads at once. - Studies from FB API ad parters in June: Mobile Sponsored Stories are getting over 13 times the click-through rates and earn 11.2 times the money per impression (eCPM) on mobile compared to all of Facebook’s desktop ads (but that doesn't help growth, just keeps ad rev afloat with fewer ads) - Josh Constine at TC notes Karma acquisition: let users send eachother bday flowers, take a cut

74		I cannot believe you sided with William Shatner's version. I believe I am a unique demographic to judge, as I am remember watching the original Shatner Star Trek and arguing for its importance while waiting for the school bus the next day, and I watched TNG with my own children, and just finished listening to another novel narrated by Will Wheaton (Red Shirts). Shatner wins only if you listen to about two seconds worth. If you listen to each, end to end, then it is clear, as someone said during the show, Shatner phoned it in. Will was actually excited by what was to come and managed to enunciate each word without flaw. I demand a recount. Bob Morrell

76		Hi folks, Love the show. A quick note about Google Fiber. I live in Kansas City, and my girlfriend signed our house up for Fiber, and luckily our fiberhood made its goal. She mentioned that in order to pay the $10 registration fee (which counts towards your first bill) she had to open a Google Wallet account, and apparently that is the only payment method they'll be accepting in the future for Fiber services. Not a big surprise, but this would certainly be a major push for Google Wallet, especially if they take this beyond KC. Thanks, Darren in Kansas City

78		TNT Crew, With the launch of Chrome 21 yesterday everyone is talking about how it is now retina ready on OS X, but what I haven't seen much mention of is that if you have Chrome installed on Windows 8 (and I assume new installs as well) the update includes a Metro style version of Chrome that is installed on the start screen or replace your shortcut to the desktop version. The versions are separate so tabs open in one are not open in the other, but it is Chrome so all those features are there. Also, after it installed there was a notification saying that a new application could open web links and which browser I wanted to use to open those links. Thought you should know, Jared the Front end Engineer

77		Hi all, I thought I'd drop you a line about your 3D printed gun story. One of the possible solutions you guys suggested for controls on this technology in the future is to have some kind of controls built into the printer analogous to the currency detection in photoshop. This wont work. Many, probably the majority, of 3D printers are built by hand rather than purchased. This is especially true of the RepRap project, which uses 3D printed parts to build more printers. The software controlling these things is also open source (as is the hardware) so there is really no way to implement restrictions like you can in photoshop. Asher	Hi TNT crew, A bit of background about the printer used in the story. Sarah commented that it wasn't the newest printer out there but I think it's worth noting that Stratasys is the company founded by the inventor of Fused Deposition Modelling and his wife. While the expiration of the original patent has allowed other companies to come onto the market using the same fundamental technology (Makerbot, Cubify etc.) they still retain many additional patents and technologies toward improving build quality. For this reason, and their 20+ years of experience in 3D printing they still have a lot of inertia in the industry despite not having the newest or being even remotely cheap. If they're using the typical materials the 'resin' used was likely either ABS plastic of ABS Plus Stratasys' special blend. An interesting aspect of this is that there are 3D printing technologies that can produce (full density) metal parts and so moving forward it may well be possible to print all parts of a working gun. Love the show. Alan, Manchester, UK

58		Reinforced AR-15 Lower Receiver	http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11770
59		-An American gunsmith constructed and shot a 1st pistol partly made out of plastic, 3D-printed parts. The creator, user HaveBlue from the AR-15 forum, has reportedly fired 200 rounds with his part-plastic pistol without any sign of wear and tear. .22-caliber pistol, formed from a 3D-printed AR-15 (M16) lower receiver, and a normal, commercial upper. In other words, the main body of the gun is plastic, while the chamber — where the bullets are actually struck — is solid metal. - lower receiver was made w Stratasys 3D printer using a normal plastic resin. HaveBlue estimates that it cost around $30 of resin to create the lower receiver, but “Makerbots and the other low cost printers exploding onto the market would bring the cost down to perhaps $10.”	the lower receiver — in a legal sense at least — is what actually constitutes a firearm. Without a lower receiver, the gun would not work; thus, the receiver is the actual legally-controlled part. In short, this means that people without gun licenses — or people who have had their licenses revoked — could print their own lower receiver and build a complete, off-the-books gun.

12	tm	The fight between Samsung and Apple may have moved to a different front. Mobile security company AuthenTec just signed a deal with Samsung to tighten things up a bit on the mobile handset maker's Android devices. So Apple is buying Authentec. Reuters reported the deal as $356 million — $8 per share of the company. Apple may use Authentec to bolster it's enterprise-friendly features and offer better security and authentication services to all its customers.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/27/apple-buys-samsungs-android-security-partner-authentec-for-365m/
13	sl	Facebook's first earnings report as a public company are out. Revenue rose to $1.058 billion, up 45% year over year from $731 million, but shares fell in early trading due to investor concern over not-as-fast-as-hoped user and profit growth. The big problem- FB is adding users faster than it can generate ad revenue, particularly in the mobile space. After a disappointing IPO, Zynga's poor earnings dragging overall revenue down, and now the stock hitting an all-time-low...well, better luck next quarter?	http://www.sfgate.com/business/bloomberg/article/Facebook-Falls-After-Report-Fails-to-Quell-Growth-3740424.php
14	ia	Samsung announced that it is loaded. In its quarterly earnings report, Samsung said its net profit is up 48% compared to last year with a profit of $4.5 billion - a record high. Samsung's earnings did not meet analysts expectations, but investors didn't mind as Samsung's stock rose over 5%. The company's Galaxy line of phones helped Samsung's bottom line as its television and PC sales are slowed like every other company.	http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-07-27/samsung-earnings/56530662/1
15	tm	But Microsoft, isn't making your own tablet going to really piss off all your tablet-making partners? No, no, no, no, no.... Microsoft, don't lie to me, I'm the Securities and Exchange Commission. OK. Maybe. OK. Yes. In an annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday, Microsoft admitted that "our Surface devices will compete with products made by our OEM partners, which may affect their commitment to our platform."	http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57481224-75/microsoft-why-yes-our-surface-tablet-could-tick-off-oems/
16	sl	Skype has officially responded to accusations that it modified its system "in order to provide law officers greater access" to its members' conversations. Recently reports have been flying in the hacker community that Skype infrastructure upgrades to supernodes had centralized user chat information, making it easier to intercept. Skype has now posted a blog saying the changes were made solely to improve user experience and reliability. But it also said it would send messages to law enforcement when "appropriate".	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19012415
17	ia	Story time! Paul Chambers decided to tweet a message saying, "Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your [stuff] together otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!" That tweet got Chambers convicted of violating the UK's Communications Act of 2003 due to its "menacing character." That conviction has been overturned with the court saying that none of the Chambers' followers would have found the message to be of menacing character.	http://gigaom.com/europe/court-upholds-twitter-joke-trial-appeal-britain-has-a-sense-of-humor-after-all/
18	tm	Robots cost money people, and this last quarter, Amazon bought a lot of robots. Amazon posted $7 million in net income for the quarter, a year over year decrease of 96 percent. Net sales rose 29 percent increase at $12.83 billion. That figure should have been bigger if it weren't for changes in foreign exchange rates. Stupid Euro. Amazon promises Q3 will be better. Exscept for the projected $50-$350 million operating loss. But robots!!	http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/26/amazon-q2-2012-earnings-net-income-down-96-percent-to-7mm-net/
19	sl	Local search is back! At least on international Galaxy S III phones. The feature was removed from the phone recently and ruffled feathers with European users. Samsung has said it planned to reinstate the feature in a future update, and Android Central now reports that an 5 mb OTA update is currently being rolled out that does just that.	http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-reinstates-local-search-on-international-galaxy-s-iii-27240562/
20	tm	Like OAuth? Think it's the best hope for a secure Internet? Can't wait for OAuth 2.0? Well the lead author and editor for OAuth doesn't agree with you. Eran Hammer-Lahav wrote on his blog that "When compared with OAuth 1.0, the 2.0 specification is more complex, less interoperable, less useful, more incomplete, and most importantly, less secure." He has resigned his role after leading the effort for five years.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57481166-93/oauth-2.0-leader-resigns-says-standard-is-bad/
21	ia	The UK isn't too happy with Google after the company told the UK Information Commissioner that it did NOT delete all of the personal data it gathered from unsecured wireless networks while mapping things for Street View. Google said it would delete everything by December 2010, but recently contacted the Information Commissioner to say, "We've still got some data." The Information Commissioner said it's working with other European privacy bodies before responding.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19014206

(Verizon charges $205 for 300 Mbps/65 up) - Basic Broadband 5 mbps/1 up for free for 7 years, one-time $300 setup charge. - Google Fiber TV, record 8 shows at a time, 500 hours of storage $120/mo. bundled - get free Nexus 7 tablet - Time Warner, Disney, NewsCorp. and AMC are not on board yet. - Google syaing they want to show what can be done. - Broadband speeds in the US have flattened. Google wants to drive innovation. - Last summer, a consortium of universities called GigU banded together to deploy 1Gbps fiber networks in communities and towns near universities. - White House along with the National Science Foundation's GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovation) program launched "US Ignite," an initiative that will bring startups together with local and state governments, federal agencies, universities, and others in the tech community to develop a national 1Gbps network. - Only will roll out in neighborhoods where enough interest is demonstrated - It's an odd sign-up process akin to a blood drive	On Thursday it issued a now-or-never challenge to nearly all of Kansas City, Kan., and a central swath of Kansas City “fiberhoods” — Google-speak for neighborhoods where it might run its fiber optic network. • Get 10 percent of the homes in your area to sign up for service — it takes a $10 deposit — and Google will eventually hook you up. • Meet that quota by Sept. 9, or the network will fly around you. And if Google does come to your neighborhood, you’ll have just once chance for installation.

In reference to Thursdays show, The amount of Roku's sold among other similar devies just keeps going up, the shift is gaining momentum. The amount of people dropping cable is amazing. I am glad to hear Roku seems to be investing in making it a better experience. Would love for the cable companies to understand that things need to change, cut the cord.

84		Hello TNT peeps. I wanted to drop a quick note to backup the other viewer report of FaceTime on "4G." I was on an overnight project at one of our stores, reworking the network. My teenage daughter called in on FaceTime to say goodnight. I told her that the call would dropout as I was actively removing the old router but I would call her back after the call dropped. Well long after I was holding the unpowered store router in my hands, our FaceTime conversation just kept on going. I placed the iPhone in the patch rack, supported by the network cable, while continuing to work and listen to the tales of my daughters day. I believe that if FaceTimes calls start on Wi-FI they can continue on to the Cell network, as the network status check was made at the start of the call. We all know, it is not a technical issue preventing FaceTime calls on the Cellphone network, it is the network operators choice. thanks for the great show Jacob Loeb

86		The kinect-style, Minority Report, waving of the hands isn't the future of interface over touch. It's inefficient and difficult to learn. How about an interface style that virtually every human being has learned when since were children. Let me explain. Touch the tip of the index finger to your thumb. now rub it around as though one finger was the pointer, the other the touchpad. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the future of human to computer interface, I dub "the booger." Apologies for the crassness of the title- I couldn't think of a better analogy for the interaction. This style, however, assumes the need of a "pointer," as in a desktop. Looking further into the future, the pointer instead would be integrated it into your vision so that you need only to look at what you wish to click on and touch your fingers together for confirmation. Middle-click? Middle finger! How is this worse than what we have now? - Marc Mondoy

Talking about the future of gaming and wearable computing, and in-game economies and Gaming on Linux then says: Valve wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the PC. Id Software, Epic, Zynga, Facebook, and Google wouldn’t have existed without the openness of the platform. I think there’s a strong temptation to close the platform. If people look at what they can accomplish when they can limit competitors’ access to their platform, they say, “Wow, that’s really exciting.” Even some of the people who have open platforms, like Microsoft, get really excited by the idea that Netflix has to pay them rent in order to be on the Internet."	Does' think that's a very attractive future so looking at ways to make sure there are open platforms. Trying to make Linux thrive. "I think that Windows 8 is kind of a catastrophe for everybody in the PC space. I think that we’re going to lose some of the top-tier PC [original equipment manufacturers]. They’ll exit the market. I think margins are going to be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that’s true, it’s going to be a good idea to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality. " Future of gaming: Thinks touch will last for about 10 years as an input and replaced by next wave which is ill-definied but called post-touch. Seemed to be describing AR and wearable computing.

Lost 10.3B yen, expected to lose 20.6B yen - The lower than expected loss is due to new games and cost-cutting - Expects to make 35 billion yen operating profit for the full year ($447M) - Last year at the same time, 37.7B yen loss (so this is quite the improvement) - Wii sales 710k compared to 1.56M last year - DS sales: 540k compared to 1.44M last year - Nintendo also said that it's coming closer to being able to sell the 3DS at a profit, after last year's drastic price cut forced it to take significant losses on each system it sells.

85		Hi TNT crew. I wanted to make a quick comment on yesterdays show My wife went to film school and one of her friends in school moved on to the adult film industry as a producer and editor. She later married one of the larger directors in the industry, if I stated any of their movies I'm certain you would know them as they gained mention in even some of the most mainstream of media. This is interesting because just this year she came to town and we were talking about the market and these law suits. She stated that they've pushed out purchasing new cameras and general gear in lieu of gaining more legal council. She went on to describe that they hired a group to perform a study where they hoped to learn at what size file people were most likely to download. They create these very short "films" with extremely explicit names in hopes of getting people to download them and bulling them into paying money. She stated that last year the money they made in these type suits equaled almost 20% of their revenue. Matt the linux geek

31		The Dusseldorf Higher Regional Court in Germany on Tuesday upheld a preliminary injunction, preventing sale of the Galaxy Tab 7.7. Injunction now extended from Germany to the entire EU. - High Court of England and Wales ruled earlier this month that the 7.7-inch tablet had not copied iPad's aesthetic. (not cool enough). - Apple is targeting five Samsung tablets and, in separate legal action, 10 Samsung smartphones. - Preliminary is the key word. Also the German lower court trial isn't even final yet. All can be appealed. - The court denied Apple's request to ban sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1N. (modified Tab 10.1 that avoids patent violations) - FOSS Patents speculates the win for the 10.1N could guide Samsung to alter the other devices to avoid infringement	THE REAL BATTLE COMES NEXT WEEK - Apple Samsung trial begins in the US on July 30 - Little connection between these two trials - Apple looking for Samsung to pay $2.5 billion to settle (based on per unit royalties). This one is over design and tech but mostly design. (scrolling API, overscroll bounce, tap to zoom and navigate are tech examples) - "Samsung's infringing sales have enabled Samsung to overtake Apple as the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world. Samsung has reaped billions of dollars in profits and caused Apple to lose hundreds of millions of dollars through its violation of Apple's intellectual property." - only one of more than 50 lawsuits around the globe. Even in California, there's a second case pending that is currently scheduled to go to trial in 2014 (the preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Nexus smartphone is a first offspring of that litigation

Most of the time they were free to the consumer - just come in the store and ask for one. The down side is that it takes about a month for the manufacturers to make the adaptors.

12	tm	Amazon may be keepign it's new tablet details secret but apparently they didn't tell Staples. Demos Parneros President of US retail for the Staples office supply chain told Reuters that Amazon is set to introduce five or six new tablets, with at least one 10-inch model. The five or six he mentioned may count different storage capacities as different models. Parneros didn't have anything to say about an Amazon phone.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/23/3177248/amazon-staples-new-tablets-10-inch
13	sl	The iPhone 5, expected in October, will come with a 19-pin connector port at the bottom instead of the proprietary 30-pin port "to make room for the earphone moving to the bottom", two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. What does this mean for current accessories that use the 30-pin port? It means they better scramble to fit Apple's new model, or risk yielding business to other vendors. No rush, though. I'm kidding. Hurry!	http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/07/23/us-apple-connector-idINBRE86M07320120723
14	ia	Canon finally introduced its first mirrorless camera to launch in October. $800 will buy you the Canon EOS M with a 22mm lens. The camera has an 18 megapixel sensor - the sensor is the same size as Canon's EOS Rebel dSLRs.	http://www.gadgetbox.msnbc.msn.com/technology/gadgetbox/canon-eos-m-its-dslr-crammed-point-shoot-body-904350
15	tm	According to the Financial Times, Nokia is in talks with European cell phone carriers about exclusivity for Windows Phone 8 handsets. The theory is Nokia hopes to generate the sort of hype the iPhone got when it launched. The rumoured deal woul give the chosen operators a stake in the profit of the phones, giving them more of an incentive to push the products.	http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/375979/nokia-considers-exclusivity-deals-for-windows-phone-8
16	sl	Isn't it annoying when you're downloading a free app from Apple's app store but you get prompted for a password anyway? Cult of Mac notices that with iOS 6 you won't have to! And you won't have to for apps you've downloaded in the past, either.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57477708-37/ios-6-wont-ask-for-password-to-download-free-apps/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title
17	ia	Samsung was pleased as punch to announce its Galaxy S3 has already sold 10 million units worldwide two months after its release. It took the S2 five months to hit the same milestone. Take a note other phone makers, you don't need silly exclusives - you just need awesome devices.	http://www.pcworld.com/article/259661/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_sales_hit_10_million.html
18	tm	Faster WiFi got another step closer. Marvell announced a partnership with startup Wilocity to make tri-band chips that will use 2.4 GHz 5 GHz and the new 60 GHz standard. That combination allows devices to connect to existing WiFi networks while taking advantage of the super-fast 60GHz band. Under the developing 802.11ad standard, 60GHz transmissions can hit 7Gbps. Wilocity previously partnered with Qualcomm to produce tri-badn chips expected late this year. Marvell's chips won't arrive until 2013.	http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/07/tri-band-wifi-chips-for-7gbps-speed-coming-from-marvell-wilocity/
19	sl	Did Apple infringe on Samsung 3G patents? Yet another trial to determine that has begun in Sydney, and already off to a great start. Bloomberg reports Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett called the trial, "ridiculous," and quipped "Why on earth are these proceedings going ahead?" Bennett seems to want to send Apple and Samsung into mediation, something they've already been ordered to do in the US with no real agreement. She'll make her decision on that by the end of the week.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/23/3177336/samsung-apple-australia-3g-trial-begins
20	tm	Famous patent troll Uniloc is suing Mojang the creators of Minecraft, claiming the company infringes a patent on copy protection software. Many have noted they misspelled Minecraft as Mindcraft in the filing. Markus Persson, AKA Notch, said that Minecraft does not perform license checks in the manner described by the patent.	http://boingboing.net/2012/07/21/patent-troll-targets-minecraft.html
21	ia	Let me tell you a story. Apple and Motorola were suing each other in the U.S. Each said the other infringed on its patents, each argued that there should be injunctions issued to stop sales of the other's products, and that damages weren't enough. Well, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Posner said, nah. Your arguments are silly, damages would be enough, but your damages theories are nonsense. Then he threw out the case. Guess what? Today, both Motorola and Apple filed appeals to the dismissal. This is the story that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-21/apple-google-s-motorola-unit-each-appeal-patent-rulings.html

51		- FBI has been asking Internet companies not to oppose a proposal that would amend the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. The amendment would make it mandatory for social-networking Web sites and providers of voice over IP (such as Skype), instant messaging, and email to ensure their products are “wiretap-friendly.” - Skype says it can't conduct wiretaps because of its “peer-to-peer architecture and encryption techniques.”. Germany police complained in 2007 that they couldn’t spy on Skype calls and even hired a company to develop covert Trojans to record suspects’ chats. - hackers say Skype changed its architecture to make it easier to enable “lawful interception” of calls. Skype commented to Extremetech & said the restructure was an upgrade, nothing to do with surveillance. But Slate's Ryan Gallagher says he questioned Skype on Wednesday whether it could currently facilitate wiretap requests, & didn't get a straight answer. Citing “company policy,” Skype PR man Chaim Haas wouldn’t confirm or deny, telling me only that the chat service “co-operates with law enforcement agencies as much as is legally and technically possible.” -	- Microsoft buys Skype in May last year. In June, Microsoft is granted a patent for “legal intercept” technology for VOIP services to “silently copy communication transmitted via the communication session.” Patent application predates Skype acquisition by a couple years. Doesn't mean it's happening, but Skype isn't denying it either. Skype's privacy policy doen't explicitly say it won't intercept. - Under Section 3 of the privacy policy, it is stated that Skype or its partners “may provide personal data, communications content and/or traffic data to an appropriate judicial, law enforcement or government authority lawfully requesting such information.” It also notes that instant messages sent over Skype will be stored for a maximum 30 days “unless otherwise permitted or required by law.”

75		Last week you were discussing whether some of the recent high profile shut down efforts have really lead to a reduction in the amount of spam. After eye-balling it, I have been emptying my Gmail spam folder every Saturday night for many years now and I've definitely seen a reduction in the number of spam messages I am getting. A couple years about I was getting close to 200 a week. Shortly after the Spam King got his due, I was down to less than 100. This year I am hovering around 50/week. Once within the last month, I got the fewest ever, just 8 in one week. So I would say we've turned the corner. There will, no doubt, always be spam, but we're developing the tools both technical and legal to deal more effectively with this menace. Regards, Bill Dahm

77		Hey TNT, I have an idea that just might be able to save Windows Phone. The idea of bundling. Basically, the customer gets a free Windows phone 8 phone with a purchase of a new Windows 8 computer. Or, take it a step further, and have the Windows 8 desktop, Windows 8 tablet, and Windows 8 phone, bundled together a price of around $1500 or less. Samsung, could totally pull this off. I think that once you get the phone into the hands of consumers, they will actually realize that it is a pretty nice phone. Do you think this is a good idea? I haven't heard this idea on the show before, and just figured I would mention it. - Shelton Clark

79		Subject: Heavy FaceTime User Hi guys I live in (Christchurch) New Zealand and probably use FaceTime up to 4 hours a week as many of my friends and family still reside in the UK. I prefer it over other solutions (Skype etc) as not wall of them are computer savvy and setup and connection have been issues in the past with these services. FaceTime just works. As my family and frieinds are iPhone/iPad users, FaceTime is a no brainier. Help them setup up initially and away you go. Can't wait for FaceTime over cellular as this will widen my opportunity to stay in touch. I was particularly awesome over the last 18 months during the Christchurch's earthquakes. One last thing - I don't believe (here in NZ) there will be additional charges as telecoms here do not charged for things like tethering currently. I hope I'm right. Andrew Smith Big TNT Fan	Hey guys In response to Sarah's question on Friday: who uses FaceTime a lot? My dad works in Dubai and myself and the rest of our family talk to him everyday using FaceTime. We have found the video quality to be much better than Skype and some of skypes features are blocked in the U.A.E. also with Skype on iOS being a horrendous battery drain it's FaceTime all the way. Also as a last cherry on the top my carrier has said its not going to charge more for FaceTime. Keep up the good work. Scott Ballard-Ridley

12	tm	It was the best of quarters it was the worst of quarters for Microsoft. The good news? Revenue set a record at $18.06 billion, up 4 percent year-over-year. The bad news? Operating income fell 97 percent to $192 million, and the company reported a loss of six cents per share. The bad news is due to a write down of $6.2 billion related its 2007 acquisition of advertising company aQuantive, and another $540 million in revenue deferred because its related to Windows 8 upgrades and can't be counted until Windows 8 is released.	http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/07/microsoft-profits-take-a-beating-in-spite-of-record-fourth-quarter/
13	sl	Newly appointed Yahoo CEO will receive of $1 million per year salary as part of a package worth $60 million... if she stays through 2017 or is fired without cause. Mayer is the third Yahoo CEO in the last year and the fifth in five years, so... maybe history won't repeat itself this time.	http://paidcontent.org/2012/07/19/mayers-yahoo-package-could-be-worth-more-than-60m/
14	ia	It's over! DirecTV and Viacom have finished their little squabble and now Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and more are back. It took about a week and while financial terms were not disclosed, Bloomberg reports that the two struck a seven year deal at $600 million per year - that's roughly 20% more than Viacom was getting before.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/20/directv-viacom-agreement-epix-mtv-vh1-comedy-central-nick/
15	dk	Google reported earnings beating expectations. On its earnings call, the company said that its decline in the amount of money collected on ad clicks is related to foreign exchange rates. On the call an executive said Larry Page is still without a voice, but he continues to run the company.	http://gigaom.com/2012/07/19/google-is-coy-on-mobile-says-ceo-page-lost-his-voice/
16	tm	Senator Joe Lieberman and four other Senators have introduced a modified version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 in the US Senate. The act still calls for the creation of a National Cybersecurity Council, headed by the Secretary of Homeland Security. The modifications make participation by companies voluntary, and include stronger privacy and civil liberties protections. The US Senate will debate the bill next week.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/07/senate-introduces-revised-version-of-the-cybersecurity-act-of-2012/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews
17	sl	Email app maker Sparrow announced on its blog it's been bought by Google, and the team will join the Gmail team to "accomplish a bigger vision". While that might be true, some users are reacting negatively to Sparrow's rationale that "as we’ll be busy with new projects, we do not plan to release new features for the Sparrow apps." You might, however, plan to expect better Gmail on iOS?	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/20/3172222/google-buys-sparrow-mail
18	ia	Some ISPs are lying to you! According to the FCC it turns out that Verizon, Comcast and Cablevision are providing FASTER speeds than advertised. Last year, Cablevision was found to provide around 50% of its advertised speed, this year it hit 120%. Verizon FiOS also hit 120%.	http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/07/get-this-some-isps-provide-faster-download-speeds-than-they-promise/

The CEO decided to take that money and give it to 10,000 junior-level employees including assistants, receptionists and more. They each netted about $314 each.	http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/7/20/3171590/lenovo-ceo-worker-3-million-bonus
20	tm	Takedown requests may soon become unsustainable. TorrentFreak reports that companies like Microsoft have started to issue takedown requests to Google for the reports that list takedown requests. Since Google lists all takedown requests on ChillingEffects, it is essentially building a giant list of URLs that lead to allegedly pirated material. And since each takedown request for a takedown request links to the takedown request, the... my head hurts.	http://torrentfreak.com/google-builds-largest-database-of-links-to-pirated-media-120717/

Comcast's prepping 305Mbps download speed broadband service in an effort to compete with Verizon's FiOS Quantum service, in the same markets FiOS is in currently.

73		Hi TNT Crew, I was actually watching episode 545 while working on a 57 page Word document that included almost 70 tracked changes that I then had to insert into a html document. I for one can't wait for this, as instead of having to work for an hour straight, because if I close the doc I will have to start again, I can't actually close it and come back to it later. and as an Apple fan (not fanboy) that only uses Windows on my work PC because I have to, I will genuinely bitch less about having to use my work computer with this feature (at least until Mac Office 2014 does the same). Love the show, Dan the Web Monkey from Oz

"Stop sending us spam. We don't need your cheap Viagra or fake Rolex. Do something else, work in a Subway or McDonalds, or sell hotdogs, but don't send us spam." - Mushtaq told the New York Times.

Future-looking statements: - Elop: “As you see the next wave and the wave after that of Lumia products you’ll seen an increase in differentiations” (Elop blamed a lack of time in shifting to Windows Phone 7 initially for the limited differentiation seen so far.) - Elop also said he wants Nokia to become the "Where" company. Facebook is the "Who" and Google is the "What?" - How is the Where going to happen? Elop wants Nokia to be the go-to for location-based services, whether it's Drive, Transport or anything else that locks in on our whereabouts [Nokia owns Navteq]

47		French Supreme Court rules Google may have to censor the words "torrent," "RapidShare," and "Megaupload" from its instant and autocomplete searches. Moves back to court of appeal for a final ruling - In early 2010 SNEP (music industry group) accused Google of allowing copyright violations by not filtering certain words when artist's names are used - Google already started filtering "piracy-related" terms last year from its autocomplete feature. While users worldwide will see "torrent" and "megaupload" in search results, they won't see them in autocomplete or instant services. - In May, Google won a YouTube copyright case, in which the court ruled that Google was not liable for filtering out pirated content on YouTube. KEY QUESTION: Why is Google fighting this when they already gave in? Should they censor at all?

54		- Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) surveyed of more than 1k consumers who bought iPads from December 2011 through April of 2012 , 21% of those who bought the new iPad said they were likely to use the device for business. That’s 8% more than those who said they had similar intentions across all iPad models. Because for the most part, other uses of the iPad — entertainment, Internet, email, reading etc. — were largely similar across all models. (decrease in gaming usage, increase in social networking.) - retina screen factor into this? LTE? - i still hear it's a consumption device, not ready to replace my laptop - Nexus 7 emerged as really good 7-inch tablet, less likely to be enterprise device - will iPad Mini be the "fun" tablet, 10-inch the serious?

78		Hi TNT crew! On episode 545, you commented on how the consumer won by getting rid of text messaging fees. But both AT&T and Verizon's new plans include the same cost that they were charging for the unlimited family share texting option already. The plans didn't get any cheaper. All that happened is that the carrier's bundled in the cost of texting in every plan so it is no longer optional.

11		News Fuse - Top 10		VIDEO
12	tm	AT&T has announced their shared mobile data plans. Like Verizon's the AT&T plans will give you unlimited talk and texting and charge you for tiers of gigabytes per month. Unlike Verizon, AT&T isn't getting rid of the existing plans, so new subscribers can choose whether to go on the new tiers or not. The new shared plans from AT&T are set to launch in August.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/18/3166327/att-shared-data-mobile-share-plans
13	sl	PayPal has announced it's acquired card.io, a company it had previously partnered with to allow developers to use a smartphone's camera to scan credit information, and now gives PayPal a leg up in the mobile payments race with competitors like Square, VenMo, and Google Wallet.	https://www.thepaypalblog.com/2012/07/paypal-acquires-card-io/
14	ia	Remember those reports that AT&T might charge for access to FaceTime over 3G? Well, forget rumors. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson weighed in and shared his knowledge. He said Apple and AT&T are working on stabilizing the technology and "it's too early to talk about pricing." Hmm… not a denial.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/17/att-facetime-charge/
15	tm	You Tube has rolled out a face blurring tool will let you automatically blur the faces of everyone in your videos. Protecting the privacy of kids at a basketball game is one example, or a more intense example offered by YouTube is to “share sensitive protest footage without exposing the faces of the activists involved”. YouTube does warn that the feature may not work perfectly, but it's a start.	http://allthingsd.com/20120718/one-click-anonymity-youtube-offers-automatic-face-blurring/
16	sl	When some Dropbox users started seeing spam attacks in their accounts despite claims that they were using unique & private email addresses not associated with any other accounts, it pointed to a possible address book leak. Dropbox says it hasn't seen unauthorized activity on any user accounts, but has brought in an outside team of experts to assist Dropbox's own security team to get to the bottom of the issue.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/18/dropbox-has-hired-outside-experts-to-investigate-possible-security-breach/
17	ia	Today, an import ban issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission on Motorola's Android devices should take effect. Motorola was found to infringe a Microsoft patent related to Active Sync. However, Motorola has a plan to keep its devices available to U.S. customers, but is keeping it a secret. The ban doesn't stop Motorola products already in the U.S. to be sold, so perhaps Motorola has a stockpile for the meantime.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/07/import-ban-on-motorolas-android-products-takes-effect-wednesday/
18	tm	Mozilla has released Firefox 14 with a number of minor new features, better Web standards support and some headline-grabbing improved security, The secure search feature uses an SSL-encrypted HTTPS address by default for all of a user’s Google searches, protecting queries against packet sniffing.	http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/07/firefox-14-arrives-with-secure-search/
19	sl	Skyhook has announced its latest developer kit for Android with two particularly interesting features: an always-on location feature that runs in the background and doesn't drain battery, & in-flight location sharing! How, you ask with a raised eyebrow? Skyhook says it gets its data from the same public sources like flight trackers FlightAware or FlightStats pull from. As a user you'll need a WiFi connection on the plane. But how does Skyhook know which flight you're on? The company says it “is the magic of what we have built.”	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/18/skyhook-at-36000-feet/
20	tm	Judge David Harvey has stepped down from the New Zealand court case where the US has requested the extradition of Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom. Judge Harvey spoke last week at the NetHui conference and described the US as "The enemy" while referring the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement. It's not shocking that Judge Harvey now believes people might question his impartiality in the Dotcom case.	http://torrentfreak.com/dotcom-extradition-judge-steps-down-after-u-s-enemy-comment-120718/
21	ia	Perhaps taking a cue from Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman, Jimmy Wales has taken a "What, Me worry?" attitude over the reported lack of Wikipedia admins. Wales told the BBC that "The number of admins has been stable for about two years, there's really nothing going on" and that the process of vetting admins would not become easier. Oh, and kids - if you don't know who Alfred E. Neuman is - look it up on Wikipedia.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18886752

34		- last month Verizon announced "Share Everything" plan, now ATT has "Mobile Share" , one plan for up to 10 devices, launching next month - ATT: 1GB plan with 1 smartphone attached is $85 (40 for plan, $45 for phone. On Verizon it's $90.) 10GB: you're paying more on AT&T than Verizon - Both carriers charge $10 per tablet, $20 per modem / hotspot, but AT&T lowers $ for smartphones with a bigger data plan -at 1GB you pay $45 per smartphone, but that goes down to $30 if you choose 20GB option. That's twice as large as Verizon's biggest bucket, - though both carriers charge $15 per gigabyte in overage, a 50 percent increase from their individual plans. - Mobile is in addition to AT&T's current plans, Verizon phased out its entire postpaid portfolio outside of Share Everything so some folks were forced to use shared plan	- AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson spoke at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, in response to 9to5Mac's claim it would start charging for FaceTime over cellular based on something they found in iOS 6 beta he said "i've heard the same rumor" - on subject to “toll free” data idea where app developers pay for their users’ data usage by direct payment or by giving AT&T a cut of ad revenues, stephenson comprared to 1-800 phone numbers. helps Sears to pay the bill for calls from its customers, some co's have “business models premised on traffic,” so why not pay to remove any barriers to that traffic? Stephenson says some content providers are asking AT&T for it

40		- Details on how MS will integrate Office 2013 and WP8 - There's a new Office Hub and docs will sync, there's an implication that there will be reading position sync (so if you're in the middle of a doc on your desktop, when you open it on a WP8, you're in the middle) - Web interface is optimized for mobile use - Meanwhile, Strategy Analytics says WP will be 4.1% of the US market by the end of 2012 (5M devices expected to be sold in 2012, 3.5M in 2011. up 1% Total devices expected to be sold - 123 million) - Is Office integration going to bring people to WP? - A mobile optimized Office for web - good for Office, bad for WP?

78		As a fan Google+, I would love to say that the high satisfaction rating it received is due to its superior interface, cool features and lack of extraneous noise. But I think the answer may be much simpler: The people who use Google+ tend to be only those who like it. While this may sound like circular reasoning, consider Facebook. A lot of people use it because they feel like they need to, or liked it initially and have become disillusioned but stay because that is where their friends and family are. You might say that Facebook has “barriers to exit”, to coin a phrase. With Google+ if you don’t like it, you just get up and walk out (metaphorically), leaving its user-base as those who actually enjoy being there. Personally, I like Google+ precisely because it is NOT cluttered with my family and real life friends, but instead is a newsfeed of people and topics I actually find interesting. :0) Vance

80		Hi Everyone, Just was listening to episode #543 and there where some comments about Sky Now being too good to be true so I thought I would give you a bit of background as to why the UK TV on demand is kind of a different situation to the US. I think it is very simple and basically down to the BBC. As the BBC is funded by the TV licence they are beholden to the viewers (the licence payers) rather than add sales, and when they created iPlayer, which gives instant access to (most of) the last 7 days (and in some cases more) of BBC content, the other channels , ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky, etc have had to do the same to compete. There are also services like tvcatchup.com that (re)broadcast the Freeview channels over the internet and they are winning in the courts (http://forums.tvcatchup.com/showthread.php?7319-Breaking-legal-news-TVC-wins-ground-breaking-case-against-broadcasters, http://forums.tvcatchup.com/showthread.php?9015-TVC-Wins-Payback-from-SKY). Maybe the US providers will catch on eventually ;-) Cheers, Jeremy

33		Marissa Mayer resigned from Google Monday afternoon by telephone and starts as President and CEO of Yahoo on Tuesday. Also gets a seat on the board. - Mayer was VP of Local, Maps and Location after years of heading up the search business. She was employee 20 at Google and their first female engineer. - Hopes to leverage email, finance and sports: hopes to do more with video and mobile - Kara Swisher reports that the choice was the brainchild of Daniel Loeb. Tried to get Jason Kilar first - Liz Gannes of ATD reports Mayer's role will not be filled. Her reports will report into Jeff Huber - ALSO she announced on Twitter last night that she's pregnant! KEY QUESTIONS: Does this singlehandedly change the perception of Yahoo? -- Is Marissa Mayer up to the challenge?

42		- FaceTime formerly wifi only, iOS 6 brings it to celluar - 9to5Mac noticed after restoring network settings a dialog box saying to call ATT to enable FT over cellular. apparently appearing for some people who have restored to iOS 6 beta 3. - ATT response: "We’re working closely with Apple on the new developer build of iOS6 and we’ll share more information with our customers as it becomes available." - didn't get same same error message when enabling the FaceTime over Cellular feature on a Verizon iPad WiFi + Cellular, but the feature enabled without an issue. AT&T charges for a separate plan to use Personal Hotspot on its network, and the carrier appears set to replicate that process with FaceTime over Cellular.	comment on 9to5Mac story: "I just tested it on my 4S on beta 3 and it does work, but it guess it hasn't had the setting restored. Also, it only uses 5MB for 3min, it now lists this when you make a call. So hogging data isn't a valid justification, but rather ATT's greed"

Dislike of the Facebook Timeline feature, intrusive ads (say 19%), and privacy concerns - Google+ is perceived to respect privacy more, no traditional ads, and Google+ 's mobile experience is better. - Overall, the category dropped one point to 69, making it one of the lowest scoring categories in terms of customer satisfaction that ACSI measures. - The only things with worst customer satisfactions, says ACSI, are subscription television services (66 points), print newspapers (65 points) and airlines (65 points).

53		- "administrators" delete posts, block editors and protect pages that are in the news or being vandalized. To become a admin/sysop, you must be nominated and undergo an application process. And even after being accepted, you, like the all the site's editors, remain a volunteer. - Wikimania (conference for Wikimedia movement) was last week at George Washington U in DC, some charts illustrating admin promoted slowdown is troubling - In October 2005, Wikimedia promoted 67 people to become sysops. 2005 and 2006 were filled with months like this, where 40 or 50 people would become administrators -- but since then, their numbers have been dropping off. (In June 2010, six people became admins. March of that year saw only two promotions) - Wikimedia is planning on beta-testing a new WYSIWYG text editor, to make it easier for new authors to join the Wikipedia legion. also tweaking design to make it clearer that Wikipedia can be edited	Andrew Lih (became admin in 03), author of The Wikipedia Revolution, told the Atlantic the process by which new admins are accepted is excessive: "The vetting process is akin to putting someone through the Supreme Court," he said. "It's pretty much a hazing ritual at this point." - Applying to become an admin now involves answering questions about copyright law. You have to write essays about notability and explain how you would act in hypothetical situations. And other Wikipedia editors dig deep into your distant edit history, find any testy discussions you got in and grill you about them.

74		Hi I had to write just to brag a little, about my ISP. I live in Grant County Washington. Its one of the few counties that used the federal money given to improve internet access, to actually improve internet access. Thus I have fiber which gives me on average 50 Mb/s both ways. I regularly get 80 Mb/s down with no caps. Its not odd for me to see 7 or 8 MB/s (that's Bytes not bits) downloading twit shows using gpodder. Thanks for the great show. Keenin

76		Hi Guys, I just wanted to make comment on your discussion of the BSkyB NowTV IPTV offering in the UK, and think you gave it a little more credit than it deserved. At my house in Japan (Kyoto) the only way to get cable in our area is via internet – they only have IPTV. You can get a complete package with dozens of channels, unlimited movie passes and the like for around $35 per month – most in 1080P HD (http://flets.com/english/bb/hikaritv/index.html). This aside – there is a side affect of IPTV. Consider the case here in Japan – there are retired elderly with what they consider 'pay tv' – streaming HD TV to set top boxes that can record a few stations at a time - that’s a lot of internet bandwidth consumed by those who probably don't even know they use the internet. The consequence is that an FTTH internet connection in Japan is around US$75 per month for 100Mbit, more for 1Gbit. Interestingly – their internet is billed to two companies – the Fibre Company NTT ($60 per month) and the ISP ($15 per month). This high-speed network is extremely expensive, the internet is dirt cheap. Cheers, arigato! - Steffan	<-- full email in comment

78		Hey TNT Crew, I've only just listened to the first part of your Friday 13th podcast and wanted to comment on a difference between an OEM copy of Windows vs. a retail copy. The OEM version, and presumably the Windows 8 System Builder version, is locked to the first hardware you install it on. A retail copy, on the other hand, can be installed on new hardware if you decide you want to upgrade. it might take a call to Microsoft, but it is specifically allowed in the EULA, whereas in the OEM EULA it is not. This is something that I will miss. Thanks! Don

20	tm	We may have lost the Microsoft-NBC partnership today, but one relic of the dot-com boom is back. Carazy venture capital investments! US VCs sunk $8.1 billion into 812 deals in Q2 of this year, the single largest quarter since sock puppets roamed the Internet. Early-stage investments got more money than usual and Ed tech, e-commerce and enterprise funding seemed to be favorites.	http://allthingsd.com/20120715/u-s-venture-capital-has-its-biggest-quarter-since-dot-com-days/

41		- The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism has released their examination of 15 months of the most popular news videos on YT. found that viewership for TV news still in lead but the YT is a growing digital environment where professional journalism mingles with citizen content. - More than 1/3 of the most-watched videos came from citizens. Than more half came from news organizations, but footage in those videos sometimes incorporated footage shot by YouTube users. - The Japanese earthquake and tsunami was the most-viewed news event during the length of the study, which spanned January 2011 to March 2012. - Pew's key findings: intense visuals win, personalities not a main driver, length not defined, citizens responsible for large portion of raw footage and that reported by news orgs	Pew's concern: YouTube offers guidelines on how to attribute content, it's clear that not everyone follows them, and certain scenarios fall outside those covered by the guidelines. News organizations sometimes post content that was apparently captured by citizen eyewitnesses without any clear attribution as to the original producer. Citizens are posting copyrighted material without permission. And the creator of some material cannot be identified. All this creates the potential for news to be manufactured, or even falsified, without giving audiences much ability to know who produced it or how to verify it.

My kids have discovered online games and minecraft videos on Youtube which they never seem to get tired of. I discovered Twit.tv and enjoy watching live streaming via my iPad & airplay viaApple TV as well as downloading multiple video podcasts on a weekly basis. Up until April of this year, I've never had an issue with bandwidth at home - we have AT&T DSL service. The last three months however, I've run up against the 150 gb per month cap they implemented. The addition of multiple devices, and children that are old enough to be interested in streaming video has definitely affected our household. Now, what is the answer? Should I kick the kids off their devices ---- which honestly may not be a bad thing. Should I stop downloading twit.tv podcasts?? (not going to happen – but maybe I can download at work?). Should I limit my netflix or hulu consumption? Probably, but honestly, I hate having to deal with this. I would much rather pay more for unlimited service than get the nasty emails advising I'm approaching my cap. In all reality at this point, I'm ignoring the emails – the cost for an additional 50gb of data is $10 so it's not breaking the bank. I just wish their emails were nicer :) I have however put a reminder in to check out cable internet which will provide faster speeds and no caps (currently). Ashley

78		Hey TNT show, I don't know if any of you have been to the Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara recently. I went through the mall when I was there in March and out of the corner of my eye I saw an Apple store or so I thought. I actually saw a Microsoft Store.

12	tm	The last bits of Digg were sold yesterday evening. You may recall most of Digg was already sold to The Washington POst for what TechCrunch's Alexia Tstotsis reports was around $12 million. She also has word that LinkedIN had picked up some patents from Digg for around $ million. If you're saying wait, I heard they sold for $500,000, that's what Betaworks paid for the remaining assets including the domain, code, data and all the traffic.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/12/digg-sold-to-linkedin-and-the-washington-post-and-betaworks/
13	sl	Is Microsoft killing its retail full edition of Windows 8? If you believe our very own Windows Weekly hosts Paul Thurott & Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft will instead offer a simplified upgrade and System Builder options for home users. In the past Microsoft sold upgrade, full, and OEM System Builder copies of its Windows software at retailers. Welcome to the future.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/13/3156545/windows-8-no-full-version-upgrade-system-builder-only-rumor
14	ia	LG agreed to pay $380 million to settle a price fixing lawsuit. A total of ten companies were accused of rigging LCD prices and all have settled. The total settlement proceeds would be over a $1 billion. The deal must be approved by a U.S. District Judge before all of this is over.	http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/07/13/lg-toshiba-settlement-idINL2E8ID03I20120713

ForumSpring also disabled all 28 million user accounts after being notified that 420,000 password hashes seemingly belonging to its users had been published on a security forum. As many as 35,000 plain text passcodes were also published on CodePaste after Billabong.com was hacked, and Android site Phandroid.com joined the party announcing the hack of their forums, revealing 1 million password hashes and email addresses.	http://www.examiner.com/article/several-nvidia-forums-hacked-390-000-accounts-compromised

17	tm	It's a two-OS race in the smartphone market in the US. New Nielsen numbers for marketshare show Android increased from 51.8% of the market to 54.6 and Apple's iOS rose from 34.3% to 36.3. All other OS's declined. BlackBerry fell to 8.1%. If you want to stay positive, Microsoft's Windows Phone dropped the least, going from 5.8% to 4.3.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/12/3155378/nielsen-smartphones-android-apple-growth
18	sl	An Icelandic court has ruled Icelandic payment company Valitor has to reopen the merchant services account for Wikileaks's Icelandic Web host. Valitor processed donations to the organization for a short time in June 2011. If the ruling stands, it could jumpstart the worldwide to flow of cash to WikiLeaks, which has been under a financial blockade for more than a year. Valitor has 14 days to comply or faces hefty daily fines, though the company says it will appeal.	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/07/court-rules-firm-must-process-payments-to-wikileaks/

Charles King, an analyst, thinks that it will only run on Windows 7 and higher.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/12/3155656/microsoft-to-announce-office-15-on-monday-reports-usa-today
20	dk	Apple's in-app purchasing process has been circumvented by Russian hackers. In a video post, developer ZonD80 outlined the method for bypassing payment. The process involves installing a CA certificate, an in-appstore.com certificate and a DNS change. This man-in-the-middle method effects in-app-purchases on iOS 3.0 to 6.0, though not all applications are vulnerable. Developers who validate receipts for in-app-purchases are safe for now.	http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/13/apples-in-app-purchasing-process-circumvented-by-russian-hacker/
21	tm	Reuters reports Eric Schmidt told reports at the Sun Valley conference, that Larry Page is recovering from an illness that left him unable to speak and was in the office Monday.

36		betaworks blog post	http://blog.betaworks.com/post/27070595530/digg
37		- TC source says the Washington Post ended up paying $12 million for the Digg team (15 engineers went to Social Code, a digital subsidiary of The Washington Post in May). LinkedIn reportedly paid between $3.75 million and $4 million for around 15 different Digg patents including the patent on “click a button to vote up a story”. - Betaworks picked up all the remaining assets today, including the domain, code, data and all the traffic for between $500k and $725k. We’re hearing that Borthwick and co. will license from LinkedIn whatever patents it needs to execute on what it chooses to do with those assets.	- from Betaworks' blog: We are turning Digg back into a startup. Low budget, small team, fast cycles. How? We have spent the last 18 months building News.me as a mobile-first social news experience. The News.me team will take Digg back to its essence: the best place to find, read and share the stories the internet is talking about. Right now. We are going to build Digg for 2012. More to come…

70	tm	Dear TNT crew, You talked, a day or so ago, about how Apple's computers no longer comply with the EPEAT certification and you seemed to come to the conclusion that it's alright and that technology might have progressed beyond the standard, suggesting that EPEAT was antiquated. According to Ifixit and other sources PCs like the new MacBook Pro can't be taken apart for responsible recycling and it is probably this that stops them from being eligible for EPEAT certification. Is it really your opinion that technology has progressed to a point where new devices can't be made without for instance gluing batteries in place and that this is an acceptable practice that environmental standards should adapt to? Would that millimetre really make the computer so much bulkier? I'm hoping I just misunderstood you. Anyways, I love the show keep up the good work! Sincerely Henrik
71
72	sl	Hey TNT Crew, Your story on Amazon seems really plausible considering that they're building a massive distribution center just right up the road from me in Jeffersonville Indiana. It's location could give same-day or next day service for a huge area of this part of this country. With the distribution center set to open this fall, we could be looking at same day or two days for the holiday season throughout the Midwest. Your loyal listener Chris

12	tm	Time to change another hacked service's password. Ars Technica reports a hacking collective known as D33Ds Company posted login credentials for more than 453,000 Yahoo user accounts. The group said it used a union-based SQL injection attack, in order to give Yahoo a "wake-up call" on security. Yahoo apologized, and confirmed the data came from an older file from the Yahoo! Contributor Network. Less than 5% of the passwords were active and Yahoo is working on a fix.	http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/07/yahoo-service-hacked/	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/12/yahoo-confirms-apologizes-for-the-email-hack-says-still-fixing-plus-check-if-you-were-impacted-non-yahoo-accounts-apply/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

The judge denied the requests of several television networks that Aereo cease offering their service during the forth coming trial. U.S. District Judge Alison J.

In the game, you arrange objects to create a chain reaction in a puzzle. However, if you really really wanted more Angry Birds - you'll be glad to know that Samsung announced a new Angry Birds app for some of its smart TVs that will be able to use voice and gesture commands. It's due out later this month.	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18801297

Both Gartner and IDC estimate that shipments of traditional computers dropped by a tenth of a point in the second quarter of 2012. HP still leads the pack, though it's market share declined 12%.

Whenever someone publishes an update, as soon as at least one person in the group sees it a checkmark and a count of the total number of impressions will be displayed. Anyone with permission to see the post can then hover on the count to see a drop-down list of the names of everyone who's seen it. Facebook will note “Seen by everyone” in that case so you know if you've updated everyone.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/11/facebook-group-read-receipts/

TorrentFreak reports that Last week, Dutch Internet provider XS4All says that after they blocked The Pirate Bay, BitTorrent traffic went up instead of down. Today two other major ISPs in the Netherlands – KPN and UPC – have made statements indicating their blocks of The Pirate Bay had little effect on overall BitTorrent traffic.	http://torrentfreak.com/censoring-the-pirate-bay-is-futile-isps-reveal-120711/

The bill targets any sites hosting child pornography, images of sexually abused children, or materials that would encourage minors to use drugs or commit suicide. A provision banning a vaguely-definied 'harmful information' was not included in the final bill. The bill must now pass through the Federation Council of Russia, before heading to President Putin's desk.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/12/3154144/russia-duma-passes-internet-censorship-bill

Disney, Time Warner, DirecTV, Mark Zuckerberg Tim Cook was spotted there. That's unusual for Apple; Steve Jobs wasn't a fixture there. Cook was asked a couple of questions - Asked if he was there trying to strike entertainment deals - Cook said "We are talking to a lot of people here." - Asked if those discussions were related to the Apple TV, he responded with "I can't tell you that." Dealbook says that Cook has lined up several one-on-one meetings with media execs - Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes told the New York Times’ DealBook that he expects to talk to Cook about some sort of Apple TV partnership that he envisions being similar to the alliance Apple struck with AT&T to launch the iPhone. “It will probably be a lot more painless than everyone thinks,” he said.

82		Hey TNT show, As a Directv customer, I was unaware of the recent DirecTV/Viacom dispute until yesterday's show. After I listened to the show I turned on my TV and tuned to Comedy Central. There the CEO of DirecTV, Mike White, has a video in which he states, "VIacom should be willing to give your family the choice to pay for only those channels you watch." Does this mean the DirecTV is actually trying to get a-la-carte pricing? I LOVE THE IDEA of a-la-carte pricing. The channels that people watch will survive, the channels no one watches will go away and customers save money either way. If DirecTV is actually trying to go a-la-carte on their pricing model, I will forever sing DirecTV's praises. I work in the TV industry and believe that the only real way to save the cable/satellite industry is to offer a-la-carte pricing otherwise, internet delivery will win. Jay in Ohio	In an interview at Sun Valley, Michael White, chief executive officer of DirecTV, said his company, the largest U.S. satellite service, isn’t looking to break up Viacom’s bundle of channels, even though his customers would prefer not to pay for networks they don’t watch. - Bloomberg Article http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-12/sun-valley-media-moguls-gain-footing-with-emerging-models.html

42		- Officials from San Francisco's Department of Environment confirmed to the WSJ that purchases of MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, and other products would no longer be allowed among the city's 50 agencies because they "no longer qualify" for city funds due to no EPEAT certification - EPEAT was developed by participating electronics manufacturers in conjunction with green groups and requires a certain level of recyclability. One of the standards is the ease of disassembly using common tools. - ARS says people familiar with city govt point out a tiny percentage (around 1-2%) of municipal PC purchases are Macs, and the number of governments that require 100 percent EPEAT compliance is also relatively small, so the impact on Apple's bottom line may end up being minimal.	- meanwhile Apple's response: “Apple takes a comprehensive approach to measuring our environmental impact and all of our products meet the strictest energy efficiency standards backed by the US government, Energy Star 5.2,” Apple representative Kristin Huguet, told The Loop. “We also lead the industry by reporting each product’s greenhouse gas emissions on our website, and Apple products are superior in other important environmental areas not measured by EPEAT, such as removal of toxic materials.” - EPEAT agreed in recent months that its standards were old - the Loop points out Companies like Dell have 171 products listed on EPEAT, but yet if you look on Dell’s Web site, none of their computers are even Energy Star Compliant.

52		- Cnet has an inside look at Netflix - particularly what happened almost a year ago when the company was going to split into two - remember Qwickster? - What caused it: turmoil in the company's exec offices - Several of Hastings' most trusted lieutenants were no longer as influential with the CEO. - Hastings' logic: He argued that in times of technological advancement companies that had succeeded at one business often clung too tightly to tradition and to what had made them successful. - His plan was presented in March 2011, people thought it was a general idea, but within 3 days Hastings offered Andy Rendich the CEO position of Qwickster. - The announcement via YouTube video was a month earlier than planned and others tried to talk Hastings out of announcing the change that way. - Reidich left NF in Feb. - Those Netflix executives who moved to DVD Co. stopped attending Netflix management meetings.	Discussion: - Has Netflix recovered from last year? - Does the company have any serious competitors yet? - Lessons for very powerful CEOs?

If these are ignored, customers will receive reminders, and could eventually see their connections throttled or suspended until they agree to stop pirating copyrighted material.

12	tm	Steve Ballmer spoke a lot at the Microsoft Worldwide Partners Conference yesterday and in what I have just decided to call the "Ballmer effect" quotes from him are zinging this way and that across the Internet. Most attention is given by SEO-minded bloggers to the quote with the world Apple in it. Ballmer told CRN "We are not going to leave any space uncovered to Apple.-- "Not the consumer cloud. Not hardware software innovation. We are not leaving any of that to Apple by itself. Not going to happen. Not on our watch."	http://www.crn.com/news/mobility/240003421/exclusive-microsofts-ballmer-throws-down-gauntlet-against-apple.htm;jsessionid=odH2tEjqxsre3w51-U0g9Q**.ecappj02
13	sl	Two of those people familiar with the matter say RIM, which has lost 95% of its value in 4 years, is selling one of its two business jets under a plan to save $1 billion in operating costs. The 9-passenger Dassault Aviation SA F50EX up for sale and RIM is trying to fetch $6-$7 million. Which leaves just 993 mil to cut! Shouldn't be too hard.	http://www.sfgate.com/business/bloomberg/article/RIM-Said-to-Sell-Jet-to-Help-Save-1-Billion-3695976.php
14	ia	More and more developers prefer to write mobile games they sell for 99 cents in the hopes of getting rich off the next Angry Birds. Yet gamers still prefer to play games on TV screen. Ouya thinks it can make both camps happy. Ouya's $99 game console will be about the size of rubik's cube and run a customized version of Android to deliver HD gaming to the TV. The company began a Kickstarter campaign today.	http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/story/2012-07-10/ouya-game-console/56118310/1

For $10-$15 a month you get access to up to 39 magazines, tabloids and weeklies, like the New Yorker, Sports Illustrated, and more. The company hopes to double the number of titles available by the end of the year. Another wrinkle, publishers get to choose what platforms their mags appear on, so iOS and Android users won't see the same selection.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/10/next-issue-media-ipad-app/

29		- Steve Ballmer in an interview with CRN made headlines On Apple - "We are trying to make absolutely clear we are not going to leave any space uncovered to Apple," - "But we are not going to let any piece of this [go uncontested to Apple]," shouted Ballmer. "Not the consumer cloud. Not hardware software innovation. We are not leaving any of that to Apple by itself. Not going to happen. Not on our watch. On an MS Smartphone - “Right now we are working real hard on the Surface. That’s the focus. That’s our core. Look, we’ll see what happens. We have good partners with Nokia, HDC in the phone space.” Damage control re: Surface? - if a partner says, ‘Hey look I want to sell some of these things. I want to put them in solutions,’ they can order some off Microsoft.com and sell them. There is nothing that gets in the way of that. But, we have not set up what I would call industrial distribution as sort of a first element. - at WPC: Re: Surface sales. "We may sell a few million of the 375 million, [MS expects 375M Win machines sold in the next 12 months]" Ballmer said. "The importance of thousands of partners will not diminish."

And last month RIM post a $518 million quarterly loss & new phones would again be delayed. - Heins told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, “There’s nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now” and denying that RIM was, as some investors believe, in a death spiral. - statement from RIM “RIM is well aware of its disclosure obligations under applicable securities laws and is committed to providing a high level of transparency, as evidenced by RIM’s decision to issue an interim business update on May 29, 2012, to alert shareholders that it expected to report an operating loss,”	“They’re going to get sued and they should get sued because I think a closer look at the record is likely to unearth knowing and willful misrepresentation,” said Jean-Louis Gassée, the former president of Apple’s products division and the founder of the software maker Be, who is now a venture capitalist and blogger in Palo Alto, Calif. “When the C.E.O. says there’s nothing wrong with the company as it is, it’s not cautious, it doesn’t make sense.” - - Any shareholder class action would also have to show that Mr. Heins or others within RIM knew that a delay was likely or a strong possibility when he was publicly boasting about the product’s progress and promising on-time delivery. - May 1, at a conference for app developers in Orlando, Fla., Mr. Heins unveiled an incomplete prototype BlackBerry 10 phone and, along with other RIM employees, demonstrated features of its operating system.

52		Verizon filed a brief with the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit with complaints against FCC's Open Internet Order. -Open Internet Order says that Verizon, as a provider of broadband Internet, can't block or slow access to (legal) online content because they disagree with its message or are being paid by an outside party to do so. -MediaMatters points oout an interesting phrase in Verizon's filing from last week. "In performing these functions, broadband providers possess "editorial discretion." Just as a newspaper is entitled to decide which content to publish and where, broadband providers may feature some content over others." -The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 says ISPs can not be held responsible if infringing material merely passes through their network. Would this argument make Verizon responsible for all speech on its pipes? Copyright infringement?

77		Hey TNT crew, whats up Jason, Marlon "theGuyFromTrinidad" here and yesterday you had a great discussion on patents which I appreciated as a consumer I am interested in understanding this mess, however in referring to the Samsung case in the UK you just boiled it down to the judge saying the Galaxy tab was not as "cool", rather than engage in the discussion of prior art as the judge also said they "found numerous Apple design features to lack originality, and numerous identical design features to have been visible in a wide range of earlier tablet designs from before 2004." I was actually very surprised Iyaz with his law background didn't point this out as he is usually the one in these instances of patents to move past the quick soundbites or call out someone for using them and give a substantial explanation. Love the show. - Marlon the guy from Trinidad

79		Hey TNT Crew, On yesterday's show while talking about the Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire the good old argument of which had better specs was brought up. It wasn't the only point brought up but a slightly emphasized one. While a valid way to compare devices it's not everything. In today's day and age software can be just as helpful as hardware as making a device perform better. Jelly Bean with Project Butter UI proves that an older device like the Galaxy Nexus can get a nice speed boost without the aid of newer hardware. So even if the next Fire only has a dual-core it seems that properly tuned software will make it so I don't wish for 2 extra cores. Then there is overall customer experience to consider. Because be it dual-core or quad-core, 1GB or 2GB of RAM, for me it all comes down to who is going to support me better as a customer when all this great technology stops working. I've talked to Amazon customer service before but Google..... do they even have a support number? Love the show, Steve in Chicago

81		Good Morning, I am listening to Mondays show, when Tom asked for people to email if you had been affected by the DNSChanger virus. Ironically I am invoicing a client for repairing his home network which was infected by this virus. A client contacted me yesterday after they were unable to access the Internet from their home office. Sure enough the DNS settings on the unsecured Linksys router (default username and password) had been changed to the DNSChanger ip’s. We are not sure if his Mac had been infected since it showed no indications of the virus or if another system had been on his network (he was using WEP) and affected the router. Honestly, I was really surprised to have encountered this issue at all. Love the new format of the new fuse first then the discussion. Have an awesome day, Sharon

78		Tor Iver from Norway here: It would be quite easy for Apple to drop DRM on apps, since they control the environment they run in anyway. So they could add a "validation" check occasionally where iOS sends a list of the app IDs and versions installed on the device, and the account ID that is active on it, and if the app is not registered to that account it gets added and they get charged the current price. So if Jill gives Jack a copy of a $.99 game and Jack installs it, then Jack at some later point will get charged for the game, too. If they replaced DRM with watermarking of who bought the original copy they could even create graphs of which people were the most "giving"... :)	There's a critical difference between apps and music. DRM hindered how you can use your music since music is in a universal format. Apps are not. Because apps are already tied to a single platform (iOS, Android, etc) there's no effect when it comes to switching between devices because it's a natural block, unlike music where it can be played anywhere. The limits (at least for iOS) are very open and with a family of 4 and at least 7 devices, I've never hit a limit. The only potential thing I would like is so that eventually my family doesn't use the same AppleID forever, but then I'd sort of be turning 1 app license into one for 4 different people if I could split an app between IDs and that honestly doesnt seem fair to devs. -- Michael Ball

80		I am a intern physician and small iOS developer who had an idea for a medical application. I actually pirated my own app just as a form of advertising. There are a sea of developers and I knew that my app would most likely get lost in the shuffle. So I decided why not just get my app out there. Anecdotally, I think that it has helped my sales. I am by no means getting rich, but I do see steady sales. I do believe those people who pirate the app lowers the barrier to entry and maybe they will buy it eventually, but more likely show a friend who will like it and buy it. Just getting my app out there by as many means possible is more important and I believe has helped me sell copies. -Cade (Not my real name I know Apple is listening)

Additionally, the store's focus is knowledgeable salespeople and less about displaying every product the store sells.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-57467514-235/best-buy-takes-cue-from-apple-in-new-retail-store-design/

We prefer to push out new Android versions ASAP, once we have the opportunity to test them for operation on our network. OEM's are always the ones to delay the software delivery to the carrier.

You just put a shortcut to that application in the Start Up (location below) folder, and it will launch that program when the computer boots. You could even put a shortcut to the desktop, and it would presumably put you on the desktop. I use it to launch AutoHotkey scripts on boot with Windows 8, and it works flawlessly. %systemdrive%\users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup -- Jacob Bearce

12	tm	Starting July 9 anybody who hasn't purged the DNSChanger malware from their computer will lose the ability to resolve domain names. Estonian Police and the US FBI seized 100 servers back in November when they arrested six malware makers responsible for DNSChanger. They kept the servers going for awhile to help the infected get uninfected. That effort ends on Monday.	http://www.csoonline.com/article/710092/-drop-dead-date-looms-for-dnschanger-trojan-fix
13	ia	Wikileaks started publishing over two million emails from 680 entities related to Syria including ministries of presidential affairs and other political figures. In a statement, Julian Assange said "the material is embarrassing to Syria" and to Syria's opponents. Wikileaks says that the data it has received is more than 100 times the size of Cablegate.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57466619-38/wikileaks-starts-publishing-two-million-syria-files-emails/
14	tm	Many declared ACTA dead Wednesday. The European Parliament voted against the controversial treaty to harmonize copyright law across borders. The vote was decisive with only 39 in favor vs. 478 against with 165 abstentions. The treaty came under criticism for the secrecy around its negotitations and the inflexibility toward copyright law. The treaty may still be ratified in the eight other countries who signed the agreement.	http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/48073670/ns/technology_and_science-security/
15	ia	An update to the Apple App Store may be responsible for corrupted apps. Instapaper's Marco Arment published a post saying that after he released an update, he received many complaints of the Instapaper app crashing. Arment noted at least 21 other apps were facing the same issue including GoodReader. A GoodReader post points the blame at Apple pushing out damaged binaries. Reinstallation of the apps has corrected the issue.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406710,00.asp
16	tm	Microsoft engineer Terry Zink posted to his MSDN blog details of a botnet using Android devices to send spam. The botnet takes advantage of compromised Yahoo Mail accounts. Zink suspects users have downloaded corrupted apps, possibly a corrupted Yahoo Mail app, from unauthporised sources, in order to avoid paying for apps. Android users should only use authorised stores like Google Play or the Amazon Store unless their confident of the security of the app they're installing.	http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-engineer-discovers-android-spam-botnet-7000000272/
17	ia	It's time to talk about a brand new AT&T phone! Motorola introduced its new Atrix HD without making much noise. It runs Ice Cream Sandiwch using a dual core 1.5GHz processor along with 1GB of RAM. Because this is the Atrix HD, it has an HD screen with a resolution of 1280x720 which is spread over a 4.5-inch display. The phone made its debut on Motorola's website, but there's no pricing or release date announced. The Atrix HD landing page seems to be redirecting, so maybe the release was premature.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/05/motorola-quietly-reveals-the-lte-friendly-kevlar-clad-atrix-hd/
18	tm	Sarah Lane may be off on vacation but that doesn't stop the Patent Wars...... or does it? At the request of Judge Koh, Apple and Samsung dropped some claims against each other in advance of their July 30 trial. Meanwhile the UK High Court ruled Wednesday that HTC does not infringe four of Apple's patents. Three of the patents,slide-to-unlock, multitouch and multilingual keyboard capability were found invalid, partly due to their obviousness. IN the game of patents, you win, or you risk invalidation of your asserted claims!	http://www.fosspatents.com/2012/07/apple-and-samsung-drop-additional.html	PATENT WARS

20	ia	Want to get a Galaxy Nexus? That might be an issue. Apple posted a $95.6 million bond to enforce an injunction to ban the sales of the Galaxy Nexus phone. As a result, the phone isn't available in the Google Play store right now and site says the device is "coming soon." Google told AllThingsD that it is working on a software patch to avoid an Apple patent.	http://asia.cnet.com/software-patch-to-avoid-galaxy-nexus-ban-coming-soon-62217445.htm

The almost invisible bezel is "rose gold" colored, so you know where the money went right?!	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/5/3138316/samsung-75-inch-es9000-smart-tv-available-price-south-korea
23	ia	Microsoft just won the rights to the domain names Xbox8.org and Xbox8.us. Okay, so does that mean Microsoft is just 8-happy? Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Xbox 8? Some believe the 8 when turned on its side reveals that the third gen Xbox will be called Xbox Infinity. Others think it could be about the 8th anniversary of the 360. Still others don't care at all because there's no product yet.	http://news.yahoo.com/xbox-8-tipped-name-next-gen-microsoft-gaming-185032840.html

If you opted-in to auto updates, you got it. - Cloud connect allows you to administer the router "from the cloud" Making it easier to manage the router when not on the network. ( a portion of the privacy policy described collecting info from INternet history, but has since been removed) - Biggest issue was Terms of Service limiting you from using the service for porn or to infringe intellectual property, spam, send viruses. HOW DO THEY KNOW? - “Cisco Connect Cloud does not actively track, collect or store personal info or usage data for any other purposes, nor is it transmitted to third parties.” - blog post - You can update the router to previous firmware

51		- Nilay Patel wrote up a post saying that "carriers are the biggest threat to innovation." - Getting a device on a major carrier can take up to 15 months and cost millions of dollars; carriers are notorious for demanding custom devices in order to create customer lock-in. "Exclusivity is the bane of my existence," says one source at a major phone manufacturer. "But it's the only way business gets done." - Cites Palm building the Palm Pre Plus for Verizon and Verizon's refusal to accept the shipment which left Palm with a device that couldn't run on other networks. - What's the answer to this? Does the industry need companies like Apple to push around the carriers? - More competition? - Direct sales from the companies?

56		What is the Higgs boson?	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/5/3138469/what-is-higgs-boson-videos	VIDEOS (no specific one)
57		Wednesday two seminars at CERN described evidence that the Higgs Boson has been discovered - What is the Higgs? Watch the videos on The VEerge. Great explanations - Short moderately inaccurate version? It's the field that imparts mass to particles based on their level of interaction with it. - Why so hard to detect? We essentially see it's wake. Sometimes two photons, sometimes two Z bosons etc. But sometimes other interactions can leave the same wake. - Let's say that 15% of the time when two boats crash into each other we see a V shaped wave. But if one of the boats is actuially a Sea-Doo, we should see a V-shaped wave 45% of the time.... You have to do a lot of crashes to start to tell if you're seeing a sea-doo or just normal boats. - There are also other signs, like the amount of wood left int eh water etc... Essentially after many more collisions and looking at multiple signs, they see a pretty clear singal at around 126GeV. - HOWEVER, 5 sigma is the level at which it's a discovery. The data for the boson in question is 4.9. SO we have a Boson. It's behaving like it should ifg it were a Higgs. CERN will make mor ecollisions based on this data to try to gather enough info to make it 5 sigma. -Written in Comic Sans	Stephen Hawking lost a $100 bet

81		Hi guys, I wrote to you before about offline Google maps not being new. It seems the same as before except for one feature - it has less availability. Before, when it was a labs feature, you could cache any region of the world, but now it is limited to certain countries (http://support.google.com/gmm/bin/topic.py?hl=en- GB&topic=1616942&p=maps_maps&rd=1#/answer/2650347). The list is quite long, but has the curious exception of Spain which now prevents me from using it for the duration of my studies, since the map I cached previously deleted itself after 30 days. I am not sure why these limitations have been put in place, but this seems a step backwards to me, rather than the advance it was touted as all those weeks ago.

83		I see an ulterior motive to Microsoft's cheap Windows 8 [digital] upgrade. Besides getting people off Windows XP, they'll be able to harvest millions of people's personal information. I've always been a retail purchaser of computers and Windows licenses, and Microsoft has never known my name, or what software I buy and use. But if everybody has to register with them using personal information to buy the update, and then limit you to getting software only through their app store (like Apple threatens to do), they'll have a detailed database of customers and their behavior like they've never had before. Whether it's this, or iTunes, or the Google Play app store... You don't own your computer any more. They own you. -- Allan Pratt, apratt@bestbits.org

12	tm	Microsoft announced the upgrade price for Windows 8 and it's almost OS X cheap. Whether you're running Windows XP, Vista, or 7 you'll be able to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99. That's if you do it digitally. If you want a DVD it will cost you $70. That plastic is expensive! The price is temporary though, just in case you were on the fence. The promotion ends January 31st	http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/02/microsoft-announces-39-99-windows-8-pro-upgrade-offer-for-most/
13	ia	Twitter just released its first Twitter Transparency Report looking at data from January 2012 to the end of June. According to those numbers, the United States requested user information 679 times related to 948 accounts. Japan was number two with 98 total requests related to 147 accounts. Twitter said that it received more government requests in the first half of 2012 than in the entirety of 2011.	http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9228749/Twitter_releases_first_report_on_gov_39_t_requests_for_user_information
14	tm	Oh dear, no Sarah Lane in this week, and it's getting all PATENT WARS in here. I'll start you off. Iyaz will bat cleanup. Leading off, Nokia alleges that the Google Nexus 7 uses Wi-Fi technology covered by Nokia patents. Neither Google nor Asus approached Nokia about licensing. So far this one's just a war of words. No claim has been filed.... yet.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57465444-94/nokia-claims-nexus-7-tablet-infringes-on-its-patents/	Patent Wars
15	ia	Looks like you still won't be able to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the U.S. because Judge Lucy Koh refused to lift an order to ban sales of the tablet. However, Apple could not stop HTC from importing its phones - the ITC denied Apple's emergency request to have HTC devices like the EVO 4G LTE and One X banned in the States. Oh, and Kodak gets to sell its patents despite Apple's complaints. There you go.	http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/03/us-apple-samsung-stay-idUSBRE86201G20120703

17	tm	Late Monday evening we found out that Google's Eric Schmidt sent a letter to the European Commission responding to allegations of improper behaviour in the search market, and offering a settlement. The EC described four areas of concern regarding the searh giant's behaviour. No word on what the settlement offer might look like.	http://gigaom.com/europe/how-exactly-is-google-offering-to-appease-europe/
18	ia	Stop me if you've heard this one - Apple walks into China and a Chinese company sues Apple for use a trademark. It's almost Proview deja vu - A Chinese chemical company is suing Apple over "Snow Leopard." The company has used the Snow Leopard branding for electrical equipment production since 2000. A hearing is scheduled for July 10th and the company wants approximately $80,000 and an apology.	http://micgadget.com/27703/chinese-household-chemical-company-sues-apple-for-snow-leopard-trademark/
19	tm	No, you can't resell software in most cases, since you just own a license to use it. But the EU Court of Justice has upheld the right to sell the licenses for downloaded software. Oracle was suing UsedSoft, which resells old Oracle software licenses. Sellers are required to destroy their copies or make them unusable. Sellers also won't be allowed to split up a bulk license and sell it piecemeal.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/3/3134867/eu-court-of-justice-used-software-download-ruling
20	ia	Linux users are complaining that they are facing permanent bans from playing Diablo III because their operating system is unsupported. The complaints started a few weeks ago at WineHQ forums and has since spread to Blizzard's forums. Blizzard says that playing the game on Linux will not get you banned - cheating will.	http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/07/linux-players-complain-of-illegitimate-diablo-iii-bans/
21	tm	UK tech news site V3 reports that the UK Home Secretary Theresa May will not try to block extradition of British student Richard O'Dwyer. The US wants to force O'Dyer to stand trial in North America for the alleged crime of linking to copyright-infringing material from a website that has since been shut down. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales started a petition drive to oppose the extradition and says The Home Office has not said no yet. Wales claims that a spokesperson read a standard statement to V3, and that the Home Secretary may yet act.	http://boingboing.net/2012/07/03/home-secretary-to-uk-net-activ.html
22	ia	Time for some accounting news! Microsoft took a $6.2 billion accounting charge known as a write-down of good will, for the acquisition of aQuantive - an advertising company Microsoft picked up in 2007. aQuantive is a part of Microsoft's online services division and the charge will pretty much knock out Microsoft's fourth quarter profit.	http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304299704577503121027728032.html

80		Hey TNT Crew! I'm listening to you guys talking about Sony's purchase of Gaikai and how Gaikai has partnerships with manufacturers like LG and Samsung. I think this could be one of the most crucial pieces of the purchase because a lot of these manufacturers make phones as well as TVs. At E3 this year, Sony announced that they were opening up their Playstation Mobile to platform to other Android manufacturers. At the announcement, all they had was HTC as a committed partner for this platform, but maybe they can use these partnerships and the streaming platform to bring a better mobile experience to more phones. What do you guys think? Keep up the great work! Love the show! Drew

62		A team of mechanical engineers has published a paper demonstrating its latest invention — spray-on rechargeable batteries that could be combined with solar cells to create self-sufficient, energy conversion-storage devices. The paper, published in Nature Scientific Reports, explains that by breaking down the different components of a battery — the electrodes, separator, electrolyte and current collectors — and rendering them into liquid form, we could revolutionize the way we power our devices. Rather than being tied to fixed shapes and sizes, batteries could one day take on practically any form, and be applied almost anywhere.

81		Hey TNT Crew, I’d just like to make a small correction. On Thursday’s episode of the show Tom was making the assertion that Microsoft’s telemetry data collected from the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) was not a scientific sample and that there was a selection bias, probably on the assumption that he though the program was something you had to be invited to by Microsoft. This is NOT the case. The CEIP is actually enabled by default on Windows machines (I double checked this by doing a fresh install of Windows 7 using default settings before I wrote this email). So in fact, it’s a really broad, non bias, scientific method of collecting telemetry data. This data regarding the declining use of the Start Button really is representative of the mainstream audience who use Windows 7. - Andrew Birch	Hi TNT Crew, The CEIP program that you mentioned in the "You killed the start menu" story in TNT 532 is, as you surmised on-air, a self-selecting group. This is the data collected as a result of that ubiquitous "Send anonymous data to Microsoft" checkbox. Power users, distrusting Microsoft, will uncheck that box, while normal users leave it on. If power users feel underrepresented in this data, they have nobody but themselves to blame. If you want your voice to be heard, leave that checkbox on. Put another way, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the outcome. Thanks for the great show! -Ryan Everett, WA

83		Hey, TnT crew! Jim, the Space Engineer here. In reference to episode 533 where the engineers at the University of Texas redirected their own drone through GPS-spoofing. I'm no stranger to GPS navigation, and it is rarely used as a sole source of navigation on anything above personal hobbyist equipment. Spoofing is just one of the problems of GPS signals: signals reflecting off of buildings, water, or even wing surfaces can garble and confuse the signal. Most systems use a "Kalman filter" algorithm that incorporates multiple sensors including GPS. Even your own cellphone mixes triangulation with cell-towers to supplement GPS signals, and usually that information takes precedence over the GPS. A "Kalman filter" means that the navigation system "predicts" it's position based on the other sensors (accelerometer, rate-sensors, wind-speed, compass, etc) and then compares that to the new measurements. If the new GPS measurements greatly disagree with the prediction, then the measurement is mostly rejected. Accuracy will be reduced, but I doubt you could steer it into the ground. It will most likely have an altimeter as well. Since these are low-altitude drones, I think it's a simple matter to include triangulation of cellphone towers, FM radio towers, or even the old VOR stations, in order to validate GPS measurements. The U.S. has a wealth of land-plotting signals that are open to all. I'm not surprised that a university was able to spoof their own gps-only budget drone. A better question is if that drone would have passed FAA-requirements for use over cities. The FAA ARC hasn't released the new drone regulations yet (they keep pushing it back a month), but I'm sure this experiment will play a part to make sure that any certified drone does not have a single-string navigation system. --- Jim, the Space Engineer Fremont, California, USA

38		- Security researchers, in a paper to be presented at an upcoming crypto conference, claim to have cracked 8 types of cryptographic tokens - The attack exploits vulnerabilities found in tokens from RSA, Aladdin, Siemens and 5 others. - Problem lies in PKCS#1 version 1.5, a Public-Key Cryptography Standard published by RSA Labs that defines the mathematical properties of public and private keys. - PKCS#1 1.5 is an early version of the standard dating back to 1993 which was replaced by version 2.0 in 1998 and then later with 2.1 in 2002. - The technique researchers used to crack the public-key crypto standard is called a Padding Oracle Attack. Not to be confused with the computer company, this attacks the cipher-block chaining part of the crypto, which can allow the attacker to decrypt messages without knowing the encryption key.	- The attack takes on average 13 minutes for the RSA SecurID 800 authenticator - RSA responded with a blog post titled "Don't believe everything you read...your RSA SecurID token is not cracked." - RSA's CTO Sam Curry staed that the vulnerability makes it possible for an attacker to gain access to a symmetric key and encrypted data sent to the smart card, however doing so requires both the smartcard device and the PIN. - The attack does not impact the one-time password functionality of the token - Situation comes down to vendors, in this case RSA, using antiquated crypto standards -- in thise case one published by RSA! - The CRYPTO 2012 Conference is scheduled for August 19 in Santa Barbra.

50		- A University of Texas at Austin team used "spoofing" - a technique where the drone mistakes the signal from hackers for the one sent from GPS satellites. - By Sept. 30, 2015, drones will have to have access to U.S. airspace that is currently reserved for piloted aircraft. - FAA working on NextGen: Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), uses GPS to determine aircraft location - GPS will update a plane’s location every second, instead of the six to 12 seconds it takes with current radar systems - SAASM allows satellite authentication, over-the-air rekeying, and contingency recovery. - Replaces the older, PPS-SM system which required periodic updates with a classified "Red Key" that may only be transmitted by secure means. - SAASM can be updated with an encrypted "Black Key" - meaning over unclassified channels

55		"- A home in Evansville, Indiana was raided by SWAT team in response to posting on a Topix.com message board threatening police and their families - The home, invaded by at least 8 officers using 2 flash bangs, was found to harbor a open wireless router - not the suspected poster. - While the homeowner isn't pleased the city is paying to repair damages to the house as the police department justifies the raid - After further investigation and surveillance on a nearby house the police decided the threats had come from the same street. " "- In a second raid, this time with only two officers, the police simply knocked on the door. - The posted is suspected to be a teenage who admitted to the press that he has ""a smart mouth"" and dislikes cops, however he denied making the threats. - Waste of taxpayer dollars? Another case of IP Address != person? Juvenile trolling?"

It works like this: you subscribe to the TNT video feed. Start watching it while eating a Belgian waffle for breakfast. Time to dash out for work? Simply lock the screen and the audio continues playing. Rico

Chrome Books will now be sold in Best Buy in the US and Dixon's in the UK and we were introduced to the Google Compute Engine was announced in case you need 600,000 cores and some Linux Virtual Machines to rent. It all finished with Sergei Brin walking us through yesterdays skydiving stunt, including a second jump out of the zeppelin.
13	ia	Bloomberg reports that Apple's going to overhaul iTunes by the end of the year. iTunes will gain iCloud integration so users can manage and access their media on different devices. Apple is also working with music labels to allow people to let their friends listen to their songs for free. Changes to the iTunes store will also make it easier for people to find content. Oh, and Apple might be working on making separate desktop apps for Podcasts and other features.	http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2012/06/28/apple-reportedly-plans-major-overhaul-of-itunes-music-store/
14	tm	The New Zealand Herald reports the case against Megaupload's Kim Dotcom just hit a big snag. New Zealand High Court Judge Helen Winkelmann ruled Thursday that the warrants used against Dotcom did not adequately describe the offenses alleged. She also ruled the data confiscated should not have left New Zealand. MegaUpload's will likely appear in Virginia federal court Friday to argue that the charges should be tossed out.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57462441-93/kim-dotcom-warrants-invalid-new-zealand-judge-rules/
15	ia	Yesterday, T-Mobile CEO Phillip Humm resigned saying he was going to spend more time with his family.

Humm starts his new gig in October.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406444,00.asp
16	tm	Mary Jo Foley talked about this on Windows Weekly as well but she writes on ZDNet that Microsoft has shared some specifics about the Windows 8 upgrade path with select partners. Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Vista users get an upgrade path, but it will only keep personal files. Windows Vista SP1 users get to keep files and settings. If you go from Windows 7 to the equivalent Windows 8 version you get to keep files, settings AND applications in most cases. If you're going from 32-bit to 64-bit though, you're out of luck. No upgrade path for that.	http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-details-its-windows-8-upgrade-plans/13051
17	ia	RIM managed to surprise no one by disappointing everyone when it announced its quarterly financials with its first operating loss since June 2003. The company lost $518 million dollars on $2.8 billion in revenue. Revenue was down 33% compared to the prior quarter. In what will likely be devastating news for the company, RIM also announced that BlackBerry 10 devices will not launch until Q1 of 2013 and it will be cutting another 5000 jobs.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/28/rim-q1-2013-results
18	tm	The CEA announced today that CES 2013's opening keynote will be held on the morning of January 8 and be delivered by Kazuhiro Tsuga, the newly appointed president of Panasonic. That's a big keynote, but the bigger one is the pre-show keynote usually held the evening before the show opens. For 14 of the last 15 years that slot has been taken by Microsoft's Bill gates and later Steve Ballmer. With Microsoft pulling out of CES, the buzziest of the keynote slots is still open.	http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2012/06/27/panasonic-exec-kazuhiro-tsuga-to-give-ces-keynote/

20	tm	Do you think it's hard to figure out how to get JUST Internet service from a cable company? The FCC agrees. especially when it comes to Comcast. TheFCC imposed an $800,000 fine against Comcast for not adequately marketing its standalone broadband Internet service, a condition of its merger with NBC Universal. IN addition to the fine, Comcast must continue to offer its standalone Internet service until at least Feb. 21, 2015, a one-year extension beyond the original requirement.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406448,00.asp
21	ia	Would you like to dance the Tango? No? Well, maybe you should just download it. Nokia Lumia 710 and 800 users are now receiving the Windows Phone update known as Tango, aka Windows Phone 7.5, which brings support for wi-fi tethering for up to five other devices. After the update is applied, those users can also pick up some new Nokia-exclusive apps including Camera Extras, that brings features like panorama and self timer.	http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/64355-nokia-windows-phones-receiving-tango-update

30		Chaitanya Sareen, principal program manager at Microsoft, told PC Pro at TechEd in Amsterdam, that the dropped the Start button in Windows 8 because nobody really uses it - Citing "telemetry" obtained by the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program, Sareen said the company found more users relying on the Windows taskbar for pinning and accessing their favorite software - "So I'm a desktop user, I pin the browser, Explorer, whatever my apps are," Sareen told PC Pro. "I don't go [to] the Start menu as often. If you're going to the Start screen now, we're going to unlock a whole new set of scenarios, or you can choose not to go there, stay in the desktop, and it's still fast. You can't beat the taskbar." - Also said keyboard shortcuts are used more often.

34		Some Impressions and Benchmarks from Chrome on iOS	http://www.anandtech.com/show/6060/some-impressions-and-benchmarks-from-chrome-on-ios
35		- Google is using Apple's developer tools which means Chrome is hamstrung. It's not a native app - Chrome on iOS uses iOS' UIWebView, which means the same rendering engine as mobilesafari - no access to mobilesafari's Nitro JavaScript engine which has JIT and other optimizations that make it run much faster. That means JavaScript execution is significantly slower inside Chrome on iOS than it is in mobilesafari. Discuss - First impressions - Buzzkill: can't change the default browser

55		"If a laser beam is intense enough, its electro-magnetic field is strong enough to rip electrons off of air molecules, creating plasma," said Fischer. "This plasma is located along the path of the laser beam, so we can direct it wherever we want by moving a mirror."

75		Just thought I'd make a quick comment on the new Nexus tablet. Although it might be easy to forget for some, the Kindle Fire isn't widely available. The Nexus 7 is already being listed as available to pre-order for us Canadians and I'm betting other international customers as well. I've been waiting to buy a reasonably priced tablet... and since Amazon won't take my money, I'm very happy to give it to Google. Ben @ Nova Scotia

78		Hi guys, At the risk of seeming curmudgeonly, I have to say that I disagree with much of what was said in the discussion of Mac users paying more for hotels. The point, as I see it, is that filtering the data in this way is a needless personalization which attempts to manipulate the user into spending more money under the guise of being helpful. If it is indeed true that Mac users spend 30% more on hotels, then they are already doing that when presented with the same information as everyone else. Clearly, such Mac users are able to filter the information themselves, and do not require a company to do it for them. Convenience appear to be an argument, but it isn't really. Here's a question: Is there a banner on the site saying, 'For you convenience as a Mac user, we are presenting you with more expensive options'? If they aren't being transparent about what they're doing because it would seem like offensive stereotyping, then it can't be really called 'convenient'. As for the argument that you can still get at the same information, that may be true, but it's irrelevant. First of all, it requires more clicks, which is always a bad thing, and secondly, unless there is an clear explanation on the site that the data has been filtered, most people won't seek a different configuration. Default is important, and here the default is deceitful. Otherwise, keep up the good work. Matthew Harper

80		Hi Guys, In your short piece about OFCOM's draft legislation requiring ISPs to send letters from 2013 to allegded pirates and that if you get 3 in a year the relevant IP, e.g. BPI can ask for your details and take action. You failed to mention that if you get one of these letters, then it will cost you £20 (approx. $30) upfront BEFORE you can even appeal and refute the claims. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18594105) Essentially this makes you guilty without all that nasty court business and then charges you before you can say "Dude, I'm not guilty and here's why!" Now, granted, the cost is not that great BUT it is wrong in principle. One wonders if the UK Government are going to employ this in other law enforcement areas. I can see future suspects, sat in a room with police officers being asked for thier credit card details before the suspect can answer any questions. If you don't pay the charge to refute the claims, you remain guilty. Regards, Dan.	Dan wrote in about the Ofcom draft legislation and sending copyright infringment reports - he mentione that it will cost 20 pounds to appeal. True and the ISPs must contribute 75 percent of the cost of running the plan - http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57460310-93/u.k-piracy-crackdown-to-kickstart-three-strikes-for-copyright-infringers/

45		Until last year Richard O'Dwyer ran TVShack.net. Linked out to other content, links were removed at rightsholder's requests - Possible that it is illegal under US law (inducement etc..) but not obvious. Apparently not illegal in UK. No suit has been filed there, investigation was dropped. - Although innocent until proven guilty, if extradited o'Dyer would have to move to the US for the duration of the trial, before he even gets a hearing. - UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, won't hold up his extradition, which could happen this fall.	Wikimedia's Jimmy Wales starting a petition - "Copyright is an important institution, serving a beneficial moral and economic purpose," says the petition. "But that does not mean that copyright can or should be unlimited. It does not mean that we should abandon time honored moral and legal principles to allow endless encroachments on our civil liberties in the interests of the moguls of Hollywood."

53		Infinite-capacity wireless vortex beams carry 2.5 terabits per second	http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/131640-infinite-capacity-wireless-vortex-beams-carry-2-5-terabits-per-second
54		In this case, Alan Willner and fellow researchers from the University of Southern California, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Tel Aviv University, twisted together eight ~300Gbps visible light data streams using OAM. Each of the eight beams has a different level of OAM twist. The beams are bundled into two groups of four, which are passed through different polarization filters. One bundle of four is transmitted as a thin stream, like a screw thread, while the other four are transmitted around the outside, like a sheathe. The beam is then transmitted over open space (just one meter in this case), and untwisted and processed by the receiving end. 2.5 terabits per second is equivalent to 320 gigabytes per second, or around seven full Blu-ray movies per second.

74		TNT team, I was thinking about all the attention the Microsoft Surface Tablet is getting over its Wifi only status. But then I thought, why do we even need a carrier specific modem in any tablet? We have cell carrier hotspots and most all of the smartphones do hotspot as well. With shared data on the horizon, what would it matter if the wifi only tablet was latched onto a mobile hotspot or smartphone hotspot if it is going to share the same data cap anyway. If they can skip the carrier specific modems and keep the tablets cheap, that is a win in the end. In contemplation, Tyson Nelson

This is the updated version of the HD 7970 from the end of last year but with a GHz board, which puts AMD back in front of NVidia's GTX 680… at least for the moment.

73		Hey Tom! My name is Dawit and I live in Ethiopia. On, that crazy issue of Skype! It's bad! Right now, we don't know how far the government is willing to go. But we have a big friend (which I'm personally not happy about when it comes to freedom) ... it's called China! With that humongous firewall they have, and how effective they have been in their country, I don't think a few million Internet users in Ethiopia will be difficult to control. Yes, if you haven't made the connection, the Chinese do a lot here: roads, buildings, infrastructure, and the ISP is full of them too. I certainly hope this changes, because I love my country and I'm sure that there are better ways of dealing with security threats. Well, thanks again for how you portrayed our country and I'll let you know if anything changes with VOIP. But until then, I've removed skype from my computer, and definitely not touching Viber either. :) Cheers! Dawit

A user named Luke shot off an email to Nokia's Stephen Elop and AT&T's Ralph de la Vega asking why he should stick with Windows Phone since he's only getting a "skin with the new live tiles"?

31		1st BB 10 phones will not have physical keyboard	http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-06-21/rim-says-first-new-device-wont-have-keyboard
32		- Ars Technica has a nice writeup - Microsoft is flooding the market with Windows 8 phones. RIM is laying off thousands of workers. - BlackBerry Enterprise Server was always a big reason for BB success in corporate world, giving administrators a huge amount of control over RIM devices - BB 7 phone sales lagged. Late last year RIM moved to make its BlackBerry Mobile Fusion management platform (next evolution of Enterprise Server) compatible with iOS and Android devices to keep RIM platform in corporations that were letting employees uses device of choice - RIM's CEOs departed, new CEO Thorsten Heins focused RIM direction on enterprise customers. - Microsoft has its own management platform called System Center 2012 with management capabilities for iOS, Android. Win Phone 8 will have Office Suite & because it has same kernel that runs most enterprise desktops and notebooks, not difficult to build native apps for Windows Phone 8. - no keyboard in BB 10 phones at first. not a deal breaker but seems like another excuse for corps to say "eh let's just switch" - - Ars also notes: while BlackBerry phones are a favorite of government agencies for unclassified use, most of the classified-use mobile phones used by the DoD are based on a Windows platform—albeit an older one.	- Happy Thursday, TNT Crew. I liked the show yesterday, and had a few quick comments on the Windows Phone opportunity. I think that MS can definitely make headway in the corporate world. Most employers I've talked to lately won't allow VPN or MS Exchange access through Android phones due to rooting and other security loopholes. That isn't to say WP and iPhone Can't be rooted, just that corporate tech departments have a tendency to trust Microsoft because that is what they run for their systems, servers, Word Processing, Email, and many security features in house. If Blackberry really wants to save themselves, they should sell out their server technology to Microsoft in a buyout, and sell their keyboard hardware to the feature phone "quick messaging" arms of Nokia and Samsung, and their tablet tech to Amazon. 3 sales for 1 company isn't as bad as bankruptcy and selling out for patents.

47		- At the Society for Information Display, or SID conference, Sony demonstrated a conbo of conductive film & low-reflection film that makes screen reflection almost non-existent in devices like smartphones and tablets, one of the downsides when outdoors and inferior to e-paper - image from show: top is traditional conductive film, lots of reflection. middle shows off new conductive film, which is better. bottom is new conductive film with a "moth-eye" low reflection film. key to low reflectance is formed through an uneven surface, tiny bumps that cover the entire film. means that light won’t just bounce back off the screen creating a reflection.	- Typically, the gap between a display and its touch panel is filled with optical clear adhesive (OCA), which also helps cut down on reflections. Sony demonstrated that the low-reflection film does just as good a job as OCA in cutting reflections, but also that its new film works with OCA if required. - compare to new MBP, two sheets of glass layers that are different sizes, leaves off third layer of cover glass that adds to gloss in other models

50		- MightyText is SMS for Android users, syncs Android phone with computer, syncs with Android phone #. GV similar but requires GV # - formerly senior technical and product management roles at google, Maneesh Arora and Amit Sangani worked on AdSense, AdWords, and the now-defunct Google Health - rebranded from "Texty" last year as a Chrome extension. 250K users, 2M messages/day. now web app launched for more users - MightyText lives in the cloud (and in your browser), it organizes all your texts, picture messages and calls, allowing you to search and store them securely for as long as needed. - it's basically remote access to your phone from any device, so MightyText isn't paying for cost of SMS, which can be a big burden for SMS apps. cross-platform, can use iPad, whatever - good for carriers using Android who don't want you to use data to send msgs. MightyText keeps messaging on SMS, these companies are likely going to be more inclined to partner with the startup down the road. - apparently very popular w students and employees who want to text from their computer.

Wallen reports the U.S. Department of Defense is laying out guidelines on how its agencies can use open source code. Use of open source code would alter the GPL, since the military wouldn't release changes they make to the code.	http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/linux-grabs-its-single-biggest-win/3690?tag=content;siu-container

84		For a long while I have been a user of Pandora and the Zune Music Pass and its Smart DJ feature (which provides Pandora-like playlist creation) and I've found it works ok for music discovery. My view on the value of the social in music has changed in the last year and a half. It was my switch to listening to music mostly on vinyl that gave me a new perspective on this. Vinyl devotees congregate on internet forums and in record shops and they like to discuss and recommend what they are listening to. I have found that this analog 'social graph' has been an excellent means of finding new music, with a high level of successful recommendations. This social graph is not made up of people I would call good friends but of acquaintances with like interests. So perhaps what Spotify should do is not switch to the algorithm model or leverage existing social graphs but create a new graph that consists of 'expert amateurs' and foster vocal community that can share recommendations. It's a matter of having the right social graph for the context- currently context is absent from the equation. Perhaps Spotify needs to look to Google Plus and its circles to help properly set some context for its social graph. Jason

88		Hi TNT team. In your discussion of G+ on Flipboard and the lack of a GPlus app on the iPad, you forgot to mention Google's own Flipboard like news reading app - Google Currents. It already has the ability to add Google plusers to the feed and looks great on the iPad. It doesn't, however, have the same brand recognition as Flipboard. I quite like Currents, but have been running Flipboard beta on Android for the last month and it still had the edge. All the best and keep up the great work. Theo

Fujitsu Laboratories said on Monday it broke a world record for the time it takes to successfully crack the next-generation cryptography standard. Fujitsu and its partners, Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and Kyushu University, took 148.2 days to carry out a cryptanalysis of the 278-digit (923-bit) pairing-based cryptography, a task that had been thought to require several hundred thousand years.	http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/fujitsu-cryptography-standard-83185

32	EMAIL	Hey TNT Crew, The Microsoft announcement touted the surface to be "Always on the go", "Light Weight", "Mobile", but there was one missing piece. What about data plans 3g/4g? Granted they have not disclosed the full spec, it surprised me to see that this was not even mentioned. I understand not everyone gets a data plan but from a consumer standpoint this is a big non starter to not be baked into the product. Keep up the good work, Scottix
33		How will vendors react? Who's making them? How important will the price be? Availability will be int he US, but will it also be outside the US? Why is the Intel version shipping 3 months after the launch of Windows 8 and the Surface RT? Is the cover the start of the show? What about the build? Magnesiusm alloy, scratch resistant, Gorilla Glass 2. Does this make Metro make sense? Did they design for this first? - A Microsoft spokesperson said the company chose LA because it had good production houses, a great venue (Milk Studios) and was an easier place to keep things secret.

41		- Spotify has launched free ad-supported radio, via mobile or web. no android support just yet. - previously Spotify had artist "radio" but not available via mobile for free, users had to pay $10/month - more of Spotify's "we have so many users, some of them will eventually pay" strategy. give away good features, increase total revenue - Spotify’s radio service is “DMCA compliant"... same as Pandora, pays performance royalties to any licensed music. no restrictions like spotify streaming. limitied skipping, US only - because Spotify also has core biz, subscribers can fast-forward through songs. make playlists of songs they've heard on the radio service - key difference: Pandora is algorithmic based on music types. Spotify is social graph, based on ppl's tastes

51		Senator Charles SChumer of New York has written to Google and Apple, concerned about aerial mapping planes - Schumer thinks Google and Apple have upgraded their capabilities to aircraft-based photography that can see through windows and capture detailed images with four-inch resolution. - "Barbequing or sunbathing in your backyard shouldn't be a public event," said Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) in a statement on Monday. "People should be free from the worry of some high-tech peeping Tom technology violating one's privacy when in your own home." - "Detailed photographs could also provide criminals and terrorists with detailed views of sensitive utilities," - SHOULD work with law enforcement - AND first, Apple and Google should inform communities when they are to be surveiled; second, they should give property owners the right to opt out of the aerial intrusion; and third, they should blur out images of individuals.

Discussion points - Who does this appeal to? Do you want to sit on your couch and drive your vacuum from afar? - Anyone else disappointed that there isn't a roomba app or web interface instead?

11		News Fuse - Top 10	Guests, please note if you have comments on any of these stories.	VIDEO
12	tm	The Microsoft Monday announcement rumours turned up a notch last night as The Wrap, a Hollywood blog, reported they had inside information that Microsoft would not only announce a tablet, but a tablet made by Microsoft, a la the Xbox. Mary Jo Foley suspects it might be more of an entertainment-oriented Kindle competitor than an iPad competitor, given the announcement is in LA. Good job generating geek hype this time, Microsoft!	http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/06/microsoft-beckons-journalists-to-secret-event-a-tablet-unveiling-perhaps/
13	sl	Back in Feb when Facebook filed its pre-IPO S1 Registration, the SEC had some concerns about...mobile. "Assuming that the trend towards mobile continues and your mobile monetization efforts are unsuccessful, ensure that your disclosure fully addresses the potential consequences to your revenue and financial results rather than just stating that they 'may be negatively affected" said the SEC. clarification like this is fairly common with the SEC, but just serves as a reminder that FB is in the mobile hot seat.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57454022-93/sec-spooked-by-facebooks-pre-ipo-mobile-numbers/
14	tm	Dropbox has a couple of bits of news today. An iOS app update lets Dropbox users manually or automatically upload photos and video from the phone directly to the cloud using Wi-Fi or cell connection. However the Public Folder will go away as of August 1st for new users. Dropbox recently made it so any file can be linked to publicly. Current users will get to keep their Public folders.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405856,00.asp
15	sl	Vizio, the TV maker, is getting into the computer game. They've made tablets but now the company has announced three distinct lines of Windows computers: ultrabooks, mid-size laptops, and all-in-one desktops, starting at $898. The new systems mix high-end components with slick designs, including unibody construction, hidden hinges, and full HD displays. CNET's Dan Ackerman calls the computers MAc-like and he's not the only one.	http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-3121_7-57453445-220/vizio-launches-mac-like-pcs-starting-at-$898/
16	tm	Judge Richard Posner in the U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois has changed his mind. Apple and Motorola can go at each other next Wednesday. The judge ordered that "Each party may argue that it would be entitled to injunctive relief as to its patent or patents were the other party found to have infringed." The dispute centers on patents related to mobile devices such as the iPhone and Motorola's Droid.	http://allthingsd.com/20120614/apple-v-motorola-judge-just-when-i-thought-i-was-out-they-pull-me-back-in/
17	sl	According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI, who provided a tip to Apple Insider, Apple is looking to launch a 13-inch Retina MacBook either this September or early October. Kuo has previously correctly predicted that Apple would drop the 17-inch MacBook Pro and sell the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display along with a previous-generation without Retina.	http://www.dailytech.com/Quick+Note+Apple+May+Sell+13Inch+MacBook+Pro+with+Retina+Display/article24943.htm
18	tm	Early adopters take heart. That impulse to be first can sometimes pay off. An original and operational Apple 1 computer motherboard sold this morning at Sotheby's for $374,500. The auction house originally estimated the item would sell for $120,000 to $180,000. Fewer than 50 Apple 1's are thought to exist with only six in operating condition.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-57454124-235/original-apple-1-computer-motherboard-sells-for-$374500/
19	sl	ICANN is not so good at the keeping secrets sometimes. You know all those new cool top-level domains like dot-unicorn? ICANN, said it accidentally published the addresses of top-level domain applicants, but has since taken them down. ICANN posted a notice yesterday indicating that it temporarily disabled viewing of the application details to remove the postal addresses of some primary and secondary contacts for top-level domain, or TLD applications. Oops!	http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57454119-93/whoops-icann-makes-domain-applicants-personal-info-public/
20	tm	NPD's numbers brought disappointing news to the video game industry. May U.S. retail sales of video-game hardware, software and accessories fell 28 percent, dropping for the sixth consecutive month in May. The study tracks sales of new physical products, excluding used, rental and digital. Diablo III unsurprisingly topped the charts, the first time since July 2010 that a PC game has done so, when Blizzard's last PC title, Starcraft II hit the shelves.	http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/study-diablo-iii-tops-list-of-video-game-sales-in-may-first-pc-only-game-at-top-since-2010/2012/06/15/gJQADMlAfV_story.html
21	sl	New data from Hitwise: Google accounted for 65% of all U.S. searches conducted in the 4 weeks ending June 2, 2012, which is down 3% over the same period last year. In the Bing corner, Bing-powered searches were up 5% to 28.12% of all searches, though direct Bing searches were at 13.17%. Yahoo’s share was 14.95%. Another interesting stat? One-word searches are up, way up, on longer strings — they saw a 19% increase while all others went down. People are indeed into the whole brevity thing.	http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/15/hitwise-google-us-search-share-down-5-in-the-last-year-bing-yahoo-gained/

32	Sl	Dropbox updates iOS app, ditches public folders	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405856,00.asp
33		- iOS update lets Dropbox users manually or automatically upload photos and video from the phone directly to the cloud using Wi-Fi or cell connection - also be able to move and delete sets of files at once and upload files of any size. There's also the option to earn up to 3GB of extra free space for uploading photos, in 500MB increments. - In February, Dropbox debuted its new photo features on Android phones, following up in April with a new version for Windows and Mac users. - in an email to registered developers, Dropbox announced that as of Aug. 1, new user accounts will be built without the Public folder, which apparently became repetitive after Dropbox added the ability to share any file or folder with a simple link back in April. - Those Public folders already embedded in current users' accounts will continue to function as before - people are mad. - is this a megaupload type scare? or just dropbox way to cut down on server load by keeping ppl from embedding direct links on blogs/sites?

50		NeverSeconds blog	http://neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk/2012_06_01_archive.html
51		- In May nine-year-old Martha AKA VEG (for Veritas Ex Gustu, truth from tasting in Latin) started a blog where she posted a picture of her schoo lunch a brief explanation of what she thought of it and some ratings. - She had permission and support from the school and some obvious help and support from her Father who's mentioned a lot in the blog. - Children arpoudn the world started senfing pictures of their school lunches. The blog became very popular. - She has raised £45,719.46 pounds for Mary's Meals, which sets up school lunch programs in impoverished areas. - The Argyll and Bute council which funds the school decided to ban the blog and June 14th (yesterday) VEG posted a goodbye post. - The tenancy said the made the decision because the staff fear for their jobs and the blog misrepresented the choices available. - Today on BBC Radio 4' The World at One, Roddy McCuish, leader of the council said he has "instructed senior officials to immediately withdraw the ban on pictures from the school dining hall." Saying that there's no room for censorship in his council and "there never will be." And will meet with VEG's father - A new post has not yet been made on NeverSeconds	"Argyll and Bute Council wholly refutes the unwarranted attacks on its schools catering service which culminated in national press headlines which have led catering staff to fear for their jobs. ... this escalation means we had to act to protect staff from the distress and harm it was causing. In particular, the photographic images uploaded appear to only represent a fraction of the choices available to pupils."

75		Hello TNT Crew. I just wanted to comment on episode 522 on what Nokia could do as a come back in the United States. I think Nokia should look at what made them popular in the first place in the States in the late 90s- The Nokia 5100 series. They should make a mid-range Windows 8 smart phone priced at $149 that has removal face plates (or back plates) and include Snake on every phone. The 5100 series was on all the major US carriers (even Sprint) was inexpensive, you could buy a faceplate anywhere to customize it and who didn't like Snake? Have a great weekend!!! -- +R.J.

83		You mentioned on the show yesterday that Skype credits actually expire. That's not entirely true, despite what Skype tells you via those email warnings. I bought Skype credit in 2010, and I hardly ever use it, and so I wanted to find out how to keep the credit I paid for active. To clarify, credit never expires and goes away forever, it just becomes inactive after 180 days of not being used. If that happens, you can easily log into to Skype's website and use a simple link to reactivate the credit. All this, including the link to click on to reactivate credit, is detailed here in the Skype support section. I just wanted to clear that up and stop any one from having to keep calling themselves every few months in fear of losing their credits. - Dan (Calgary, Alberta)
84	JH	Next week we will begin rolling out some new higher-quality encoding formats and upgrading to HD video for this show. As a part of this process some viewers subscribed to our large video feeds and using older devices, like the second generation iPod Touch, may not be able to play the updated format. Our smaller, mobile format, should continue to work with these devices. Unfortunately, when iTunes sees an incompatible format it just stops syncing without warning, so you may not get next week's shows on your device. We want you to keep watching - so if you have an older device please visit twit.tv/watch for more information and sample files you can use to check compatibility. Thanks!	http://twit.tv/watch

12	tm	Microsoft sent out invites to the media today to a big announcement in LA Monday afternoon. The odd part about that is it comes two days before the Windows Phone Summit in San Francisco, where we expect to get details on the next rev of Windows Phone OS. Best guesses are an Xbox Music servoice or some kind of Windows RT tablet announcement.	http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/microsoft-plans-major-announcement-for-monday-june-18th/
13	sl	Nokia will cut 10,000 jobs, which is 19% of its workforce by the end of 2013. The company will also close a factory and research centers in Finland, Canada, and Germany. Nokia says the changes will help the company save 1.6 billion euros by the end of 2013. Nokia also told investors that it expects greater second quarter losses than previously announced.	http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-14/nokia-to-cut-10-000-jobs-as-elop-tries-to-stanch-losses.html
14	ia	If you use Internet Explorer 7 to buy something at Australian electronics dealer Kogan, you'll be subject to an extra 6.8% charge. Kogan calls it the Internet Explorer 7 tax and justifies the cost by saying Kogan has to spend extra time to make sure its site is viewable in IE7. Don't want to pay the tax? Kogan provides links to "better browsers" like Opera and Chrome.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/14/3084527/ie7-tax-kogan-electronics-store

18	tm	It only took a couple years, but Time Magazines and Apple have worked out their differences and magazines like People, Sports Illustrated and good old Time itself will now be available for subscription in the Apple Newsstand. Previously iOS users could only buy single copies. Magazine publishers have resisted Apple's insistence that they share subscriber revenue and forego subscriber data.	http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/14/net-us-time-apple-subscriptions-idUSBRE85D0YP20120614
19	sl	T-Mobile has been one of the worst offenders in watering down the meaning of 4G, calling their fast HSPA+ service by that name. But that's all about to change. Engadget reports T-Mobile USA plans to begin trials of LTE this summer with the aim of deploying LTE-Advanced by summer 2013. Yes Tom, you heard that right. Freaking 3GPP Release 10 LTE-Advanced.

BUT Microsoft Invites for Monday June 18 in LA doors open 3:30 PM Mary Jo Foley suspects it could be an Xbox music service since it's in LA, but the invite came from the PR agency that handles Windows and Windows Phone, not the PR company that handles Xbox. Scott Michaud on G+ pointed out that MS just made Xbox announcements at E3. so "They also said shockingly little about Windows 8 at E3... so it's almost definitely a Windows 8 announcement." All Things D suspects it's a Windows RT tablet announcement. But then why in LA?

47		- Karma just graduated from the TechStars NY accelerator program, raised almost $1M in capital - The Karma hotspot costs $69 and is powered by Clearwire's network, which provides WiMax 4G service in 80 major US cities. Users pay $14 per gigabyte of data they use, with no monthly fee or minimums. The twist is that Karma makes your hotspot into an open Wi-Fi network. When a new user joins, they are taken to a personalized page about the owner of the hotspot. Strangers can then sign in with their Facebook account and get 100MB of free browsing. For every user who does that, the owner of Karma gets 100MB of free data credited to his account. The company calls this "social telecom."	- Earlier this week, Verizon introduced its shared data plan, which provides unlimited talk and text, and also lets users purchase a single package of data they can share among their devices. - A recent study from research firm Analysys Mason found that the average smartphone user consumes 221MB of data per month. On Karma, that would work out to a monthly cost of $3.09. Verizon charges $50 for 1GB on its new shared plan and it charges users as much as $40 for each device they want to use beyond the first one. AT&T's mobile data plans charge $20 for 300MB of data and require a commitment of $50 for 5GB in order to enable the tethering that turns a device into a mobile hotspot.

78		TNT Crew! Since I was called out by name, I thought I would give a quick analysis of why I think iOS and Android users fight. Three basic reasons: 1. For years, Android fans have endured a certain degree of smug condescension and even ridicule from iPhone users. The iPhone was just better. But, as Android has come to equal and, some would argue, surpass iOS, there is a certain degree of “getting their own back” by Android users and a bit of defensive hostility by iOS users. 2. I think there is a underlying belief in “zero-sum-ness” going on. The idea that the extent to which one platform dominates will impact the quality of that platform’s experience. The app development issue, for example. 3. BUT, I think most of it is simply the “rivalry” phenomenon in human nature. Why do Cubs fans trash-talk the Cardinals, and vice-versa? Going back to ancient Rome, when there were brawls in the street between supporters of the Blue and the Green chariot teams, there is a deep-seated enjoyment we derive from supporting our “club” and bashing its rival. All silly? Sure. Can’t we just all get along? Sure. But where is the fun in that?! :0) - Vance

80		Hi Tom, Have you ever thought that the reason only Android users care or get pissed off when the Iphone gets feature late is because APPLE is always suing the s**t out of everyone for copying them. Also for whatever reason, the features are acknowledged and tout as innovation only when Apple introduces it. -- Sincerely, George

84		Hey TNT crew, I can understand the internet community being upset with the new ads in Skype, but getting rid of those ads is actually a cheap and easy thing to do. I added $10 to my Skype credit 3 years ago and still haven't used it all. This means I will not be seeing ads in my calls. I wish there were more "free" services I could pay a few dollars to remove ads from. Another perspective is that paying Skype users have been subsidizing the free users for a long time, maybe this will help reduce costs for the paying users. Love the show! Sean Ontario, Canada

It's also got proprietary screws and Flash memory, and the battery is glued on, rather than screwed in. In short, you'll end up replacing the entire assembly if anything goes wrong. iFixit also confirmed that asymmetric fan blade spacing, with components made by Apple's BFF Samsung.

44		- earlier this week Automattic (parent co. of Wordpress) introduced FB plugin for wordpress.com or hosted wordpress sites - features: publishers cross-post WordPress content to FB Timelines, Pages and activity feeds, adds widgets such as “Like” and “Subscribe” buttons, recommendations bar and a FB-integrated comment system. - yet another company using FB social graph to make logins easier, help drive traffic and discussion - Wordpress platform almost 10 years old and just last year started bundling in social features - In 5 years Tumblr has grown to hosting nearly 60 million blogs. WordPress powers around 74 million blogs. About 50% are hosted by WordPress.com. - Tumblr integrated with Facebook’s Open Graph in April, their numbers are only trending upward. Tumblr saw 2.5x growth during the month after integrating with Open Graph	- Automattic projects $45 million in revenue this year, VIP service & other products available for purchase. Tumblr introduced first paid advertising in May after CEO David Karp said he wasn't interested in ads - 3rd party comment systems are threatened... Disqus, Livefyre, etc. How can they compete w FB?

47		-Roku CEO Anthony Wood spoke at the TV of Tomorrow show in San Francisco: “Will people use Blu-ray players in four years? I don’t think so" - also says streaming performance on Blu-ray players doesn’t compare to the experience on a dedicated set-top-box like the ones his company sells. - could there be Blu-ray player built into Roku’s platform? - right now a lot of streaming happens on game consoles, but Wood says “New customers don’t go out and buy game consoles to stream video" - Roku sees growth in next-gen roku boxes and smart tvs - Roku made $100 million in sales last year, Wood says number of devices sold tripled year-over-year. BUT the company missed its projected sales goal by 500,000 units.

51		Microsoft charges Tablet OEMs a whopping $85 for Windows RT	http://vr-zone.com/articles/microsoft-charges-tablet-oems-a-whopping-85-for-windows-rt/16250.html
52		AMD announced it is integrating ARM processors in its upcoming x86 chips - Starting next year, AMD chips will integrate ARM's Cortex-A5 processor with TrustZone security technology - AMD has ambitions in the tablet market, but a spokesman said its use of the Cortex-A5 will be solely for security purposes. - TrustZone is a set of instructions that help secure mobile devices, mobile payments and streamed content. - The ARM license is also AMD's way to catch up with Intel, which is integrating security features gained from its acquisition of McAfee last year. AMD's marketing director for Fusion APUs, PCs, tablets, low-power embedded John Taylor talked to TheVerge about the company's strategy - says Intel's ultra book initiative is forcing homogenization of the laptop market, hard to differentiate - TheVerge suggested that since AMD is lower cost, couldn't that mean better hardware overall for laptops sporting AMD processors? "I can tell you from a trajectory standpoint, that's what we're pushing for, because it's in our own best interest,"	Discussion Points: - What do we think of AMD's ARM integration and where do we think this is going? - Does Intel's ultrabook push create boring laptops? - Do we believe that manufacturers will spend less money on a processor to build higher quality machines overall?

78		Tom, Sarah, Iyaz, Jason, and random excellent guest.... In Tuesdays episode-520- you talked about navigation, and the switch from pnd's to navigation on smart phones. It IS moving to phones, but, out in the cornfields of Northern Illinois, we have areas that have no coverage by either Verizon or ATT. I have used our Garmin along with my iphone at the same time, and, there have been several times when the phone just plain stopped navigating. The Garmin is way more dependable in that situation. We have used our GPS Drive app with great success, closer to civilization, but there is still a good reason to have a dedicated device. Would imagine there are tons of areas, like Montana, southern Illinois, Vermont, that are in the same navigation boat... Always enjoy the show! -- Tim

For a limited time, Amazon will offer unlimited space for MP3 and AAC files if you purchase any of its storage plans, or 5GB of storage for free for all customers. At least for now, no ability to buy music through the app, because Amazon doesn't want to share with Apple.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/12/3080312/amazon-cloud-player-app-ios-apple-app-store-ipod-iphone
14	ia	Sorry, HTC, the International Trade Commission says you cannot use those patents you borrowed from Google to defend yourself against Apple's complaint. Apple successfully argued that only Google had the rights to assert those patents and HTC didn't have proper standing since HTC did not acquire all substantial rights to those patents. The decision can be appealed if HTC chooses.	http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/06/itc-rejects-googles-patent-loan-to-htc/

Links in teh Facebook version bring users abck to G+ for pictures and comments. Today he posted that users are now seeing a Norton security alert when they click on the links in Facebook. The notice states "This Link May Not Be Safe". Apparently something in the link is falling afoul of an algorithm, but whether Facebook cares to fix it or not will be the question.	https://plus.google.com/u/0/113117251731252114390/posts/hU2Gh9fDwV9

33		- Comscore study: Facebook Inc.’s audience growth in the U.S., along with time spent on the site, is slowing because the market is saturated - visitor #s rose 5% in April from a year earlier, down from a 24% surge in the same month of 2011. The average time spent on the site by each vistor climbed 16%, less than the 23% increase a year earlier.	- gets about half of its revenue from the U.S. and Canada. Seven in 10 Americans using the Internet in April visited Facebook. - people are buying from brands that they're interacting with on FB - but that's via the messages that Facebook users share with each other, not the ones brands pay Facebook to promote. General Motors announced before the social network’s IPO that it would continue to spend money on its Facebook presence, but would stop paying Facebook for ad space.

37		- Wired says Apple and Google have killed the dedicated portable GPS citing Apple's new built-in turn by turn directions in iOS 6 and Google Navigator - Described GPS units as "superfluous" - Garmin says “We think that there is a market for smartphone navigation apps, PNDs [Personal Navigation Devices] and in-dash navigation systems as each of these solutions has their own advantages and use case limitations and ultimately it’s up to the consumer to decide what they prefer.” - Is that true? Are there use-case scenarios that call for a dedicated GPS for the general public? Is this like tablets/PCs/smartphones where use case scenarios keep each one viable or this the PDA/mp3 player situation?	- Yesterday, Garmin shares fell 8.5 percent to close at $38.20. TomTom shares rose more than 11 percent today in Amsterdam, trading on word of its relationship with Apple.

If it isn't apparent to you.. time at this moment is at a permium in my life. I first heard about Britannica results in bing from your show and I was surprised to hear you all respond so "meh". I can tell you that this will ABSOLUTELY effect the way I use the internet. I am giddy with anticipation just imagining the possibilities of how much time will be saved by having britannica a few key taps away. As you know wikipedia hasn't gotten the love from educational establishments so having Britannica available... #Winning. - Brian

82		Power efficiency is the key to mobile, and Intel have been saying their next chips will be more efficient than ARM for as long as I can remember - back as far as the Acorn Archimedes PC in 1987 in the UK. Comparing Android multi-threading performance to Intel processors is meaningless, like comparing watching a video on YouTube to a Core i5 CPU. If Intel want to play catchup for another 25 years they should keep spouting this kind of marketing rubbish, and they'll never be more than a footnote in mobile. Thanks for the show, its how I start my day. Steve

Speaking to The Inquirer, Intel GM of Mobile and Communications Group Mike Bell said current versions of Android are making a lousy use of dual-core processors. Bell says that certain single core processors run faster than some dual core processors due to threading issues. Bell went on to say that a second core can be a detriment and that some of the blame is on the chipmakers.	http://www.pcworld.com/article/257307/dual_core_processors_wasted_on_android_intel_claims.html

27	sl	Dual Core Processors Wasted on Android, Intel Claims	http://www.pcworld.com/article/257307/dual_core_processors_wasted_on_android_intel_claims.html
28		- Mike Bell, GM Intel's Mobile & Comm. Group says Android's thread scheduler can't handle multi-core processors. Intel's Medfield Atom single-core processor has Hyperthreading technology that mimics multi-threading, ARM chip designers Nvidia, Qualcomm and Samsung all tout dual or quad-core processors. - While multicore processors offer performance boosts on a machine without power constraints, Bell says smartphones have limits on both power consumption and thermal tolerances. He says as Intel moves to multiple cores, we're actually putting a lot of investment into software to fix the scheduler and fix the threading so if we do multi-core products it actually takes advantage of it." - didn't call anyone out specifically but "We ran our own numbers and [in] some of the use cases we've seen, having a second core is actually a detriment, because of the way some of the people have not implemented their thread scheduling." - he says chip makers could adjust thread scheduling issues in their chips but just haven't	- Bell says that's not the case with smartphones, which have limits on both power consumption and thermal tolerances. - so is multicore processing a marketing tool for android handset makers who want to stand out? dual-core processors preceeded Android supporting them - Intel just now getting into smartphone game, Motorola and Lenovo lined up with Medfield processors

79		Hi, You were talking about the difficulty of updating the password hashing mechanism due to not having access to the pain text passwords. I wrote a patch for ThinkUp that improves the security of password hashing and thought I'd share some thoughts with you. The first idea I had was to do it as follows: Add a new column to the table called updated? Then at every login: If updated() hash the password with the new hashing mechanism and check if its valid if !updated() && passwordValidUsingOldHash() take the plain text password you have because the user gave it to you and hash it with the new mechanism, save the new password hash in the database and set updated? to true This method is completely transparent to the user but the obvious downside to this is that it increases the number of database queries every time the user logs in. Which is why we went with the following method: Whenever a user changes their password hash it using the new mechanism and set updated? to true. Obviously this is not as secure as the first method as if a user does not update their password despite being told to do so they are at risk, but it does reduce the number of database queries at every login. As always security is a trade of between a number of things. Thanks Aaron	Hey TNT crew, thanks all of you for the great show and congrats on the anniversary. In response to Bill in Jacobs Town on ep.518. Here are 2 ways to change methods of password hashing that won’t irritate your users: Option 1, Quick and dirty: Rehash the original badly hashed password with the salt. Then add that same process in to the verification method. No user action required, instantly more secure. Option 2, Move from an old method to a new method: You have 2 columns in the DB for the hashed passwords. One for the current hashed passwords that used the old, insecure, method and another new column that starts blank. When the user logs in they will provide their user name and password. At this point the system will check to see if the new hashed password column is blank. If it IS blank, hash the provided password with the old method and compare to the column for the old password hash. If it does not verify then it was the wrong password for the user. If it does verify then hash the password with the new method, that is hopefully more secure than the last, and enter that new hash into the new hashed password column. Clear out the value of the old hashed password column, because if you keep that in the DB then there isn't much reason for doing all this. If the new hashed password column is NOT blank then they have already been through this process. Hash the provided password with the new method and compare the 2 values to authenticate the user. If they don’t match it was the wrong password for the user. Now as users log in they will be automatically moved to the new more secure method transparently. You can use this method for n months until all the truly active users have logged in and then send a notice to all the users who's new hashed password field is still blank and let them know they need to come log in. This will actually engage users that have not been active for n+ months and you may get a few old users coming back. This is, of course, a per-compromised solution. If the old hashes are already out there then you will HAVE to have the users change their passwords. -Hope this is helpful, Ben in Dallas.

81		I just thought I'd send this your way, today The Oatmeal had this tweet: https://twitter.com/Oatmeal/status/212277865234964480 which details a threatened lawsuit against him and his response. The important part though is that he's raising money for charity as part of his response, and has in the ~20 minutes from the tweet/post raised 9,520 dollars. It has been a total of 17 hours since he set the donation project up, and he has until the 26th to reach his goal of 20,000. I think he's going to go way over it, and since it's a good cause I thought you could add it in the randomizer.

As a part of this process some viewers subscribed to our large video feeds and using older devices, like the second generation iPod Touch, may not be able to play the updated format. Our smaller, mobile format, should continue to work with these devices. Unfortunately, when iTunes sees an incompatible format it just stops syncing without warning, so you may not get next week's shows on your device. We want you to keep watching - so if you have an older device please visit twit.tv/watchus for more information and sample files you can use to check compatibility. Thanks!	http://twit.tv/watch

So instead of a developer having to tweak the lighting for weeks, Unreal Engine 4 will take care of that. If you're thinking, "Great, who cares about light?" You should care!

However, around "sensitive facilities" like schools and prisons, plates and faces must be blurred before put online. A lower court had previously ruled that Google would be required to blur each and every face and plate to which Google said it would remove the Street View feature from the country if the ruling wasn't overturned.	http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/08/uk-google-swiss-streetview-idUSLNE85701V20120608

First, Jeffrey Katz, CEO of price comparison site Nextag, published an op-ed piece in the WSJ criticizing Google for favoring its own products and services and called Google a "brand killer" because it controls which sites get exposure. Then Google's Senior VP of Engineering Amit Singhal wrote a response tearing apart Katz's piece saying that Google's search results are built to help users find relevant results and are not built to favor any site.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405542,00.asp

He created a mirror that controls the light bouncing off a slightly curved mirror, resulting in a field of view of around 45 degrees, rather than the standard 15 to 17. The patent was just awarded but in the US curved mirrors are not allowed on the driver's side... yet.	http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57449587-71/prof-gets-patent-for-side-mirror-with-no-blind-spot/

No fragmented market for devs. - HTML5 limited on popular apps: latency issues with games. video & photo apps need to hook into the camera so they need to go native. - Not getting a cut of the 30% rev share Apple/Android takes - Apple gives 5% to referrers of iTunes purchases, but that's likely not a big cash cow for FB	- future: fb os? native apps? back to html5 once devs get on board?

35		You think the Suicide capability of Flame we told you about earlier was sophisticated? Check this. -Flame uses an MD5 chosen-prefix collision attack," Marc Stevens, from the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in Amsterdam, and de Weger, of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven wrote in an e-mail posted to a cryptography discussion group earlier this week. --"Collision" attacks, in which two different sources of plaintext generate identical cryptographic hashes, have long been theorized. --In 2008 it was demonstrated by using a bank of 200 PlayStation 3 consoles to find collisions in the MD5 algorithm—and exploiting weaknesses in the way secure sockets layer certificates were issued—they constructed a rogue certificate authority that was trusted by all major browsers and operating systems. -- Flame didn't use the published chosen-prefix collision attack, but an entirely new and unknown variant." - This was done by mathematicians doing new science	The usual attack scenario goes like this: -I create two different documents A and B, that have an identical hash value (collision). I then send the first document to Sarah, who digitally signs it and sends it back to me.. I then copy Sarah's signature to a second document. I send that document to Iyaz, claiming it's digitally signed by Sarah.

43		- Original report was back in March by Bloomberg saying Intel was "considering creating an online pay-television service that works on TV sets." - Reuters has an update today saying Intel's plan is meeting resistance because content providers don't want to unbundle and license specific networks at a discount compared to what cable and satellite pay - So what would Intel's system be like? - STB with facial recognition tech for targeted ads - Intel claims that the new interactive features in its set-top box would add greater value to TV advertising and help offset reduced revenue from licensing fees for network owners. Execs aren't sold on the idea. - Intel aimed for a November launch - Intel wants to keep its costs down by licensing smaller packages of TV networks instead of replicating the basic cable TV bundle of more than 100 channels. But network owners won't agree to smaller bundles without being paid a premium for the channels they choose to license.	- Talking to WSJ: Dish Chairman CHarlie Ergen says Auto Hop was a "competitively necessary" response to cheap online video, - Mr. Ergen aims to force the networks to develop "more meaningful" ads, using, for example, demographic targeting of viewers. - Dish is currently being sued by broadcast networks over the auto hop feature for copyright violations

48		--Joaquín Almunia, vice president of the European Commission responsible for Competition Policy, who recently called on Google to change parts of its business by July 2 in order to avoid antitrust action. - Google under the gun for lack of transparency in an op-ed piece in WSJ from Nextag CEO Jeffrey Katz - Katz complains that Google stacks the deck against its competitors. Danny Sullivan points out Katz has testified that 65% of their traffic came form Google last year - "the most prominent results are displayed because companies paid Google for that privilege." Sullivan thinks Katz means the new shopping engine, but I think he means the top result which is an ad. - Google should disclose, clearly and in plain English, when advertisers receive better placement in search results and when a result is a Google-owned property. And when a competitor’s service is the best response for the user, Google should highlight it instead of its own service. --FTC guidelines created in 2002 say that search engines should ensure “the use of paid inclusion is clearly and conspicuously explained and disclosed” -Amit Singhal, senior vice president of engineering at Google: "It's understandable that every website believes that it is the best, and wants to rank at the top of Google results," Singal said. "The great thing about the openness of the Internet is that if users don't find our results relevant and useful, they can easily navigate to Nextag, Amazon, Yelp, Bing or any other website."

78		Hey TNT crew, I work as a lead developer an a number of properties that have an online login / user account functions. All of these sites used the latest best-practices for password hashing when they were launched. Whereas you are correct that changing legacy code to new methods would not be terribly expensive from either a developer cost or system resources function, the big problem is the impact to the user base. Since a hash is only a fingerprint of a password, and we cannot recover the original password, any change in hashing methods would invalidate all existing passwords. From a business standpoint this is a huge issue. While many users will respond to on-screen instructions or an email requesting they change their password there are many who will simply balk and walk away. In my experience this has always been the biggest barrier in updating hashing techniques. Love the show, Bill from Jacobstown, NJ
79	sl
80		Dear TnT Crew: In light of all the hacking about that has been happening concerning passwords, I am left with just one question: "Why don't these services use the Google Authenticator API?" I am assuming there is such an API since I have linked my LastPass account to it. Wouldn't this be a quick and easy way for all of these sites to provide two-part authentication for their users? Perhaps I am just dreaming of a crack-smoking utopia of security bliss but why aren't there more services offering mobile device based two part authentication? I am assuming that my bank takes security measures seriously, but until I have this feature I will continue to feel as if my Gmail and WoW accounts are more secure and what is in my toon's bank is safer than what is in mine. Thanks for the show. Curt Moreno The Kung Fu Drafter

82		"Hey guys, following up on my Twitter conversation with Tom and Sarah: In regards to the numbers showing developers still develop for iOS first (70% to 30%), there are a couple things to consider. If you are a smaller developer and have to choose one platform simply due to cost and time constraints, then the higher revenue possibility from iOS could be determinative. As someone with a foot in both camps (iPad and Android phones), I can honestly say that there is not a single iOS app that I actually use or want that is not out on Android. My ultimate point is that the “app gap” is, for all practical purposes, closed. With one exception: High end gaming. All the major casual games are on both platforms, but I believe there are some big name games on iOS not yet on Android. All my gaming is casual, so I would not be able to speak to this. What is actually interesting about that those numbers to me is that 30% or so are actually developing Android first! Who would have thought that two years ago? - Vance"	http://news.cnet.com/8301-33620_3-57449588-278/android-updates-embarrassing-but-do-users-notice/

49		-- The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) says that it is "sympathetic" to users that stored "legitimately acquired or created data" on Megaupload's servers, but points out that the file-sharing service's terms of use "clearly disclaimed any guarantee or continued access to uploaded materials." - EFF filed a brief with Eastern Virginia District Court on behalf of a user who wants their non-infringing data back ALSO FBI in some hot water over what they took: - Kim Dotcom's lawyers claim the FBI illegally removed data from the Megaupload servers -Under international law, the FBI has no right seize property and take it back to America without permission from New Zealand's Attorney-General. - FBI didn't take the actual drives but it did clone 7 of them and FedExed the copies back to the US - According to Stuff, John Pike, a lawyer representing the Attorney-General asserted that the FBI acted legally as the copied data did not amount to physical material. Pike said that "[information] may be the most valuable thing we have, but it is not scooped up by the act — nothing of the physical items have gone overseas and that was our undertaking."'

53		-Tactus Technology has unveiled a tactile layer component that creates dynamic physical buttons that rise out of the surface of the screen. The haptic user interface lets users see and feel the buttons for the experience of operating a physical keyboard. - Showed the tech off at SID Display Week 2012 in Boston - Based on microfluidics - channels underneath the surface with small reservoir of fluid (usually an oil) - can pump the fluid to raise a deformable membrane covering the screen - or now, the channels need to be made in a predetermined patter — say, an outline of a QWERTY keyboard for a tablet — The long-term goal would be to have much finer control over a wide-ranging variety of patterns - Nathan INgrham of The Verge said the feedback wasn't much and he could see where the keys were supposed to be after they disappeared - Customization of resistance and feel should be possible - Tactus believes it will bring its new haptics to shipping products in 2013.

76		Hi TNT Gang, I heard you guys talking about the "How the Internet Works" video on Wednesday's show, and I just wanted to share with you a similar video I've been showing for almost a decade now. Its called "Warriors of the Net." I'm in a position to mentor high school aged kids in a pursuit of Computer Science and networking from time to time, and every one of them watches this video. Not only is it informative, but nerd-hilarious and somewhat campy. Thanks for the great show, I listen to you on my morning commute every day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBWhzz_Gn10 -- Andy Hull the Network Engineer, Michigan	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBWhzz_Gn10	VIDEO

78		Hi TNT crew, I just listened to you talking about the offline google maps on episode 516. I´m currently studying in Spain for two months and I am already using the labs feature of google maps on my ICS phone that lets me precache maps. I can´t afford the £4 a megabyte roaming fees for data, so the feature has stopped me getting lost many times because it means I can navigate by GPS without data. What it is missing, and I hope they fix, is that the data needs to be redownloaded every month, so if I don´t pay attention I may find the rug pulled out from under me.Lastly, if you need to find a place while offline, you need to look manually since it cannot search the cached data, it can merely show the map. Depending on how big the map files are, this could (finally) be the death of the dedicated sat nav, because with these features my Galaxy Note can do anything a satnav can. Hasta Luego. Azzedine

82		Hey Tom, Iyaz, Sarah, Jason & Guest Tom was discussing the limitations of Windows RT on ARM chips, but I have to point this out. Almost all the limitations of Windows RT are around the desktop. You've been able to buy x86 Windows tablets for years. So why haven't they sold if they're fully functioning tablets? Well, turns out, no one wants to use a desktop interface on a tablet. So while Windows RT can't run desktop apps, I don't think anyone cares at all. Tom wasn't the only person to say this, though, which I think is interesting. Several tech news sites have made similar comments about not being able to fully utilize the desktop, even though for years they've criticized Windows tablets for using a desktop interface. Very interesting, if you ask me. Love the show, Jacob

11	tm	Microsoft showed hours of trailers for new games in series like Madden, Call of Duty and Halo today, but the centerpiece of their E3 announcement was updates to the Xbox itself. Software updates. Sorry Xbox 720 hopefuls. Live sports expands with the NBA, NHL and ESPN's app goes 24 hours adding SportsCenter. Univision, Paramount and Machinima will also add video content to the platform. Xbox Music replaces Zune. But the big deal was Xbox Smart Glass which lets you use a smart phone and tablet as an extra controller, a keyboard for the new Xbox version of Internet Explorer, a second screen while watching videos, and even comes with airplay like functionality. Smart Glass will obviously work on windows Phone and Windows 8, but it's coming to iOS and Android too.	http://allthingsd.com/20120604/microsoft-doubling-down-on-video-and-music-for-the-xbox/		http://bridgeurl.com/tnt-514/all

14	tm	The Samsung Galaxy S II will finally arrive in the US in a big way, mostly on June 21. ATT, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile AND US Cellular will all carry the phone and it will be named the Samsung Galaxy S III on all platforms. Finally! Dates and prices are not as unanimous. T-Mobile and Sprint say they'll sell the new phone June 21. Sprint has the price at $200 for the 16 GB and $250 for the 32 GB. Sprint's taking pre-orders June 5 and Verizon on June 6.

Ask questions to others playing the same game. - Can see those posts on a phone b/c it's browser based, other devices will have access, but not at launch - Gamertags instead of numbers - Video chat via the gamepad's built in camera	Discussion ideas: - Is the the Pro controller a sign that Nintendo will make a push for serious gamers? - What about Nintendo's online strategy: bringing a social element into gaming isn't something Nintendo's been very successful at, but the move to what looks like gamer tags looks promising as well as the fact it's browser-based. - With the Wii U gamepad fully formed, is this going to win over gamers (esp in light of MS's announcement)?

81		I think it's worth pointing out that people that are used to the desktop aren't just old school power users. It's not just people being cranky geeks. In the corporate world, think of all the otherwise not computer/smartphone/tablet using workers who know the desktop interface exclusively for how they use it at work. Microsoft's idea of thinking people are used these types of interfaces on their phones/tablets is extremely youth and consumer centric. I can't imagine trying to train a bunch of folks in a corporation how to do their job in the windows 8 transition. I don't see this being popular among large companies. -- Kai Fuller

43		At ATD Sean Parker was on stage with Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, Spotify and said "There was some indication that might have been happening." "We are always in negotiation. We're in constant renegotiation. In that process, you hear things. There's a sense that Apple was threatened by what we were doing." - It took Spotify two and a half years to enter the U.S. market amid complicated licensing discussions with record labels, and Apple played a role in trying to keep the company out of the country - Ek reinforced this. "The music industry has declined from $45 billion to $15 billion," he said. "But consumption of music is at an all-time high. There are half a billion people illegally file-sharing music. That's a huge addressable market." - Greg Sandoval at CNET reported in 2010 that Apple was talking smack about Spotify’s business model in discussions with record companies, implying that it could hurt sales of downloaded music.

Marissa Mayer tells SEL Zagat scores are better b/c they contain separate scores for food, service and atmosphere vs. a five star scale, which is forced to factor all those considerations into a single rating (read: Yelp). also keeps everything from being average - Orkut and G+ are merging.

21		Tim Cook spoke at All Things D conference on Tuesday -On Jobs: "When he called me to his home to talk about being the CEO and subsequently the discussions we had, he told me, 'I witnessed what happened at Disney when Walt passed away,'" Cook said. "He said that people would go to meetings, and all sit around and talk about, what would Walt have done? How would he view this? And he looked at me with those intense eyes that only he had, and he told me to never do that, to never ask what he would do. Just do what's right. And so I'm doing that." On patents: Claims standards-essential patent system is broken and that Apple never sues not hose patents. "The problem is, if you add up what they say the patents are worth, nobody could be in the phone business. So, it's gotten kind of crazy," On Television: "It's an area of interest" Doesn't believe Apple has to own a content business to make it work.	On Ping: "We tried Ping and I think the customer voted and said this isn't something that I want to put a lot of energy into. Will we kill it? I don't know, I'll look at it."

On Manufacturing: "This is not well known...but the engine for the iPhone and the iPad are built in the U.S. in Austin, Texas. The glass is made in a plant in Kentucky." Doubling down on Siri.

41		Intel Ultrabooks Will Get Free Wi-Fi Almost Everywhere and Auto-Update from Your Bag ~dk (security!!)	http://gizmodo.com/5914245/intel-ultrabooks-will-get-free-wi+fi-almost-everywhere-and-auto+update-from-your-bag
42		- Intel signed a deal with Devicescape that'll bring no-login access to millions of Wi-Fi hotspots - Ultrabooks and tablets will come with Devicescape software preloaded - It'll work with Intel Smart Connect and your email and feeds will be refreshed w/o you taking your notebook out of your bag (even in standby mode) - So when your device is w/in range of a Devicescape hotspot, the connection should be automatic. - Devicescape refers to itself as a "curated virtual network" (CVN) — out of the approximately 100 million open Wi-FI connections in the world, about eight million are part of the Devicescape network.	How it works: Devicescape does that using a specially-formatted DNS query That query is addressed to Devicescape's servers, and comes embedded with details of the Wi-Fi point. The server then responds with tailored instructions on the steps necessary to get some free connectivity, and the software works through them to establish an internet connection." DK: Perhaps spoofable. Won't know until this debuts, but you know we'll be all over it. What's actually most interesting about this is that Devicescape uses DNS queries for the authentication. This is a hack. The only reasonable way for this to work, seeing that new networks are setup all the time, is for the ultrabook to try to authenticate with Devicescape's servers for every WiFi network is connects to. There are plenty of tools out there that let you abuse DNS packets and setup special DNS servers that allow you to tunnel traffic. It's called DNS Tunneling.

77		Hello Tom and crew, Listening to Leo on TWiT and the Tuesday TNT #510 I started thinking about how I use Facebook, particularly on mobile, and if I would use a Facebook phone. The short answer - I already have a facebook phone, it is the Samsung Focus Flash (windows phone). Late last year I finally traded in my Samsung Jack (blackberry ish phone) for a Samsung Focus Flash (windows phone). With the new phone I finally got a live account so I can use all the functions on Windows Phone. Once I got the new windows phone all set up and tied to my different accounts (including Facebook) I was shocked with how integrated Facebook is on this phone. All of my Facebook friends are now in my contacts - information is now available even if I did not enter it, including my friend's pictures, their email and address (depending on how much they use FB). Facebook messenger now shows up like a text message. From my perspective - windows phone would make a great os for a Facebook skin. Sounds goofy, I know - but I really do use FB a lot more since I have started using windows phone. I wonder if this was on purpose and if both companies meant for this to happen?

79		Team of Tech News Today, Love the show Just a note about the 80 inch and Windows 8 We sell the Sharp PN-L702B 70 inch touch screen with Windows 7 (soon an 80 inch) I was the fortunate one in our IT department, and got to setup the first one, also after going through all features and touch screen software to come up with a training class for our sales department. Of course I installed Windows 8 customer preview on the included PC and Windows 8 worked flawlessy with the touch screen, very cool experience. It had no driver issues, no screen resolution difficulties. Unfortunately, I had put back to Windows 7, which works just as well. I am very surprised TWIT does not have the Sharp PN-L series monitors to use on-set. - Robert Matthews

10		"Hi TNT crew, With the release of the new Facebook 'Camera' app, I started thinking about my iPhone and the main standard apps and functions on that ... Facebook pretty much has them all covered. The easy ones are iPhone 'Messages' = Facebook Messenger and iPhone 'Camera' = Facebook Camera. Once you start to think about the other 'standard' functions on a smartphone such as contacts, calendar, photo gallery then Facebook has equivalents ""in-built"" that easily could become standalone functions (the backend is all there). Didn't they have a deal with Spotify (possible iPod replacement)? They've even opened up the app-store. They're even getting cosy with Bing on search (possible Skype integration)? They've also got apps now. You already have your own Facebook email address. They've got an ecosystem. Only thing they don't have directly is a dedicated FB browser. My guess within a year Facebook will partner with HTC or similar and gut Android (a'la Kindle Fire) and produce a smartphone with their own apps. It'd be one way to 'monetize' mobile now that they've IPO'd. Hey, worth a shot. Steve Edwards (Sitting on the Beach, Worthing, UK, Europe, The World)"

22		- The SpaceX Dragon capsule has become the first commercial craft to berth with the International Space Station. - Early this morning the Dragon performed several engine burn and hold maneuvers, both planned and unplanned, until it reached just 33 feet from the Earth-facing side of the station. - From there the capsule was grappled by astronaut Don Pettit using the Canadarm2 robotic arm (the Canadian ISS accessory with kung-fu grip) and delivered to the Harmony module's common berthing mechanism. - The Dragon will hang out at the ISS for about a week while astronauts unload supplies and load up Earth-bound cargo for the return trip, where the spacecraft will splashdown in the Pacific about 250 miles off the coast of California. - This marks the second test flight of the Dragon and third overall flight of the Falcon 9 rocket.	- If all mission objectives are successful the Falcon 9 / Dragon system will be certified for regular ISS cargo deliveries, otherwise a third test flight will be scheduled for later this summer.

"I've been told that any meeting of significance is now always populated by project management and global-supply management," "When I was there, engineering decided what we wanted, and it was the job of product management and supply management to go get it." -One former Apple employee described meeting a current engineer for lunch, and expecting his former co-worker to rush back to work after eating. Instead, he offered to take time to have a coffee."The outsider's conclusion: 'I think people are breathing now.' It's not necessarily a compliment," Lashinsky wrote. - Cook eats with various workers. Jobs always ate with Sir Jonny Ive.

Android’s AT 59%, iOS had 23% - Big losers since Q1 2011: Symbian dropped from 26% to 6.8%, BB OS from 13.6% to 6.4% - Linux market share fell to 2.3%, Windows (phone 7 and other) can't make it above 3%. - Samsung accounted for 81.6 percent of all Linux smartphones.	IDC: "Windows Mobile/Windows Phone has yet to make significant inroads in the worldwide smartphone market, but 2012 should be considered a ramp-up year for Nokia and Microsoft to boost volumes. Until Nokia speeds the cadence of its smartphone releases or more vendors launch their own Windows Phone-powered smartphones, IDC anticipates slow growth for the operating system."

A lot does seem to come back to the fact that what we’re working on now feels like the most important and the best work we’ve done, and so it would be what we’re working on right now, which of course I can’t tell you about.”	On Apple design/development - "We're developing products in exactly the same way that we were two years ago, five years ago, ten years ago. It's not that there are a few of us working in the same way: there is a large group of us working in the same way." Tidbits: - When the interviewer mentioned the stitching on the leather looks of apps the Telegraphs says Ive winced, but replied with "My focus is very much working with the other teams on the product ideas and then developing the hardware and so that's our focus and that's our responsibility. In terms of those elements you're talking about, I'm not really connected to that." - Ive debunked the theory that the iPad 2 was inspired by a samurai sword

18		The EU has finished 18 months of investigating Google's search practices and found 4 areas of concern -Joaquín Almunia, EC Vice President for Competition Policy stressed the Commission's desire to get them settled "without having to engage in adversarial proceedings." The EC gave Google a matter of weeks to respond. - Displays links to vertical services (maps, images, news) differently than links to competitors. May result in preferential treatment. - "Google may be copying original material from the websites of its competitors such as user reviews and using that material on its own sites without their prior authorization." (travel, restaurant) - AdSense agreements "result in de facto exclusivity requiring them to obtain all or most of their requirements of search advertisements from Google" - "Google imposes contractual restrictions on software developers which prevent them from offering tools that allow the seamless transfer of search advertising campaigns across AdWords and other platforms for search advertising.""	- "We've only just started to look through the Commission’s arguments," Google said in a statement. "We disagree with the conclusions but we're happy to discuss any concerns they might have. Competition on the web has increased dramatically in the last two years since the Commission started looking at this and the competitive pressures Google faces are tremendous. Innovation online has never been greater." - Google controls 78.64 percent of the desktop search market, down from 83.19 percent a year ago, according to NetMarketshare

79		Hey TNT Crew, Just a quick note about the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace changes you mentioned on Friday. The reason why they’re forcing this is upgrade isn’t because of a security risk that would affect end users, it’s to enable Marketplace Encryption to prevent app piracy. The Windows Phone Marketplace doesn’t currently have encryption to prevent people from pirating apps (if you know what to do, you can download app packages without paying for them and sideload them illegally). Microsoft added support for Marketplace Encryption in 7.5 but left it disabled on their Marketplace servers until enough people upgraded their phones to 7.5. It appears that enough people have upgraded now and they’re flicking the switch, but this will break all 7.0 phones’ access to the Marketplace, which is why they’re warning people to upgrade now or lose access.

75		Hey Twit-dudes and dudarinas! Regarding the android-fragmentation story you discussed yesterday, i feel that i want to add to it from a developer standpoint. I'm in a small startup where we have a mobile app both for IOS and Android. Apple have really done all they can to make development as easy as possible. They think about things like screen sizes, doubling it evenly so that it scales automagically, and you don't have to have multiple layouts and graphical resources since they also scale evenly. You can move components and images around with pixel perfection, making development smooth and the end result great. On Android, i have to work with relative layout managers, percentage resolutions, scaling of images, different screen sizes, and not least important, all the different OS versions, hardware etc. This makes the app look "kind of crappy" on all devices, at least for the time i have to work on it, and it takes waaaaay longer than on IOS. To sum it up: I have fun and it's smooth coding for IOS, every time i have to update the Android app i end up on the floor hugging myself, crying. ;) Love the show! /Mathias from Stockholm

18		- Facebook's IPO'ing this week and co-founder Eduardo Saverin, Brazil-born, Singapore resident renounced his US citizenship - People thought, "He's doing this to avoid taxation since there's money to be made and taxed with the IPO" - At a news conference this morning, Sens. Schumer and Bob Casey, D-Pa., will unveil the “Ex-PATRIOT” – “Expatriation Prevention by Abolishing Tax-Related Incentives for Offshore Tenancy” – Act to respond directly to Saverin’s move, which they dub a “scheme” that would “help him duck up to $67 million in taxes.” - Their proposal would also impose a mandatory 30 percent tax on the capital gains of anybody who renounces their U.S. citizenship. - plan would bar individuals like Saverin from ever reentering the United States again. - Saverin said to the NYT: “This had nothing to do with taxes,” he insisted. “I was born in Brazil, I was an American citizen for about 10 years. I thought of myself as a global citizen.” - Sevarin put out a statement saying " I am obligated to and will pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the United States government. I have paid and will continue to pay any taxes due on everything I earned while a U.S. citizen. "	- Saverin has lived in Singapore since 2009 and renounced his citizenship in September 2011. - American tax lawyers say they think Mr. Saverin’s exit had more to do with estate and gift taxes than income tax. If he remained an American citizen, he would not have had to pay the United States capital gains tax on his income until he sold his shares.

74	sl	TNT Crew, So I am a Washington DC commuter. Anyhow, today a Blackberry bus pulls up to the Pentagon and says they’ll take 20 of us to our origin lot. We jump on board and they start passing out Blackberry Playbooks and Bolds, along with free bottled water and Blackberry schwag. I used a Blackberry Playbook for the whole ride, and just like every other review I’ve read, I liked the hardware and performance, but was unimpressed with the App World selection. I have used iPads and various Android tablets, and the Playbook just does not compete with either, mostly due to app selection. Also, I cannot see a compelling need for a tablet in my life right now. Perhaps the new Windows RT tablets may be able to compete; we’ll see in the fall. Just thought you’d like to know about the lengths that Blackberry is going to for new customers. Harry

The terahertz band is currently unregulated and is between infrared and microwaves. That top speed is sustainable to around 30 feet, so it could be great for short-range high bandwidth things like your home theater perhaps. The previous record was set in November by chipmaker Rohm, but that was a paltry 1.5Gbps.	http://allthingsd.com/20120516/new-terahertz-wireless-connection-faster-than-your-microwave-oven/

79		Howdy TNT, Your show is the only one I hear about the Apple/Proview ipad name lawsuit. I've actually got a working 15" Proview Ipad LCD monitor. As the case is coming close to a settlement seems like a good time to put together some image/joke for feedback on your show. but . . . having trouble figuring out the best short way to make this funny. - static image of the ipad home screen on the monitor? - video of me trying to touch the icons from that image? (not a touch monitor) - video of someone actually touching/using an ipad menu on this monitor - craigslist add for 15" ipad (this could be good) Thoughts? Interested in building a gag here?

Also supports 2.4GHz/450Mbps WiFi option, has 4 Ethernet jacks. Both the router & bridge are $180. - Buffalo based in TX, previously announced these products for summer, but beat Netgear who also announced 802.11ac product for May.	- The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) expected to ratify the standar next year, current phones, tablets, laptops don't benefit from the 1.3 Gpbs wireless promised in this router. Companies like Broadcom, Qualcomm, and Quantenna are manufacturing chips to make devices 802.11ac-compatible by the beginning of next year, so this is like an 802.11n router upgrading to an 802.11ac router before your eyes

80		Hello, Great show. I will say that you missed the real reason that people will want to prioritize their posts. Weddings! Births! Graduations! All those special days that come once (or twice) in a lifetime. Think about your feed, how fast everything flies by. If someone posted an engagement, within hours it could be a screen or two down the line. For just a buck or two Facebook will hold it towards the top so your friends can know what's going on. While I don't think many people will use this, I think that for the special moments it is truely needed. Thanks and keep up the GREAT show! Russ

Thought it might be a scam. NZ news site Stuff reported it. BBC reached out to FB, FB confirmed it was real. - range of prices to make posts more visible. Comments on the tests suggest the highest price being charged was £1.25 ($2) while others cost 25p or 50p. Payments could be made via credit card or PayPal. - experimenting with rev streams, last quarter rev growth numbers were down -	FB updating "data use" policy which is like privacy policy - Facebook used to keep data it received about you from advertisers and 3rd parties for 180 days; updated to say they'll keep it as long as necessary. Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan says that means that if Zynga tells Facebook who their top scoring players are in order to target them with ads, Facebook erases that information as soon as the ad campaign is over. But if Zynga were to post information about its top scoring players on its wall, Facebook is not going to take it down within 180 days. - Facebook makes it clearer it can display ads to you outside of Facebook based on your info. Previously it was worded as "social context" ads outside FB. “Everything you do and say on Facebook can be used to serve you ads,” says Egan. “Our policy says that we can advertise services to you off of Facebook based on data we have on Facebook.”

36		Cable Carriage of Broadcast Stations	http://www.fcc.gov/guides/cable-carriage-broadcast-stations
37		Aereo is the startup backed by Barry Diller, that wants to rent you a micro antenna (and tuner and DVR) that you can access over the internet to receive television programs -All major networks have taken Aereo to court, Aereo has filed a counter-suit. The question is over whether Aereo is an illegal retransmission. - 2008 Second Circuit Court of appeals upheld Cablevisions right to remotely locate a DVR. The appellate circuit determined this was not a public performance. But that dealer with the DVR not the transmission of the programming. - Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 requires cable systems MUST carry certain local broadcasts, but local stations can elect to require a fee for those broadcasts and exempt the cable provider from the must carry provision.	-Matt Bond, executive vp content distribution at NBCUniversal said in a New York federal court filing: "It makes little economic sense for cable systems and satellite broadcasters to continue to pay for NBCU content on a per-subscriber basis when, with a relatively modest investment, they can simply modify their operations to mirror Aereo's 'individual antenna' scheme and retransmit, for free, over-the-air local broadcast programming." Arguments seem to be as follows -1. We have a business model built on law we got passed in 1992, that this would undermine. 2. If it undermines we can't pay sports leagues huge fees to carry their programming, because we won't make huge fees on retransmission 3.We won't make immediate money off people watching not he Internet because we use 1970s technology to get ratings and charge for ads. 4.If people can watch TV on Internet connected screens they'll stop using Hulu which would stop us from artificially delaying when they watch stuff. 5. LOOK! PIRATES!

An IP address is not a person. - ALSO: The company asserts that Wiley is seeking “information that is protected from disclosure by third parties’ rights of privacy and protections guaranteed by the First Amendment.” -Wiley has asked Judge Katherine Forrest to compel Verizon to respond. Wiley is only asking for 10 accounts.

Oracle doesn't care. They're going with an 'infringer's profit' case.

75		Andrew sent us his blog post, that we'll include in the show notes. But here's what I think is one of the most interesting parts of his argument regarding Windows RT and the browser issue we discussed yesterday: On Windows RT, the desktop is there for 2 reasons only: Firstly it’s to run the 4 Microsoft Office apps that will come included in Windows RT (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote) that Microsoft simply hasn’t had time to port over to the Metro environment (because that’s would be a massive job) and secondly it’s to left there for those who need to access certain parts of Windows that aren’t available in the Metro environment yet (Windows Explorer, some of the more advanced stuff in the Control Panel and Internet Explorer advanced settings etc.). It is NOT designed to be used on a daily basis, it’s not designed for you to use it to surf the internet using the Classic Desktop version of Internet Explorer (the next few paragraphs will even explain why it’s there) and it’s not designed to run legacy 3rd party software (you simply can’t do this).	http://andrewtechhelp.com/andrews-tech-opinions/131-setting-the-story-straight-on-windows-rt-a-why-firefox-and-chrome-cannot-and-should-not-be-there
76	sl
77		Tom & the gang - I think you're missing a critical part of the argument over Microsoft restricting browser choice on Windows RT to Explorer. The difference between an RT tablet running only IE, and an iPad restricted (for the most part) to Safari is that Safari is at least a standards-based, compliant browser. Microsoft has improved IE considerably in the last few versions, but it still can't be said to be standards compliant. Without a compliant browser as a competitor on Windows RT, the only thing keeping Microsoft from messing with HTML and CSS standards is market share. If Windows tablets are a hit, I can see a lot of sites being "optimized" for IE, that won't work on iPad or Android tablet browsers, or default to a less-capable "mobile" site. Charles Mangin

It only works when users are signed into both Facebook and Microsoft's Windows Live. -A search for Seattle restaurants, for example, will populate the top section of the column, under the heading "Friends Who Might Know," with Facebook pals who live in Seattle. At the top of that list will be those who have "liked" particular Seattle restaurants on Facebook. Also a "people Who Know" section which generates results from Twitter, Blogger and Google+ and soon LinkedIN, Quora and FourSquare -Acitivity will show queries and questions people have been asking. -The Bing knows section hasn't launched yet but will have data points, like Maps, reviews, price comparisons	Rolls out over the next few weeks

18		Windows RT (ARM) gives IE access to APIs other browsers can't use - Only IE can run in "classic mode" Even in Metro mode, IE can access some rich APIs other programs can't. -Harvey Anderson, Mozilla’s General Counsel, says that Windows RT’s restrictions signal “an unwelcome return to the digital dark ages.” Google: "We share the concerns Mozilla has raised regarding the Windows 8 environment restricting user choice and innovation" - Apple does this too, but has no antitrust history. MS aims to have RT on Servers and laptops, not just tablets. Alternate browsers on iOS cannot mimic the functions of Safari and so are often just using Safari in a different shell. - Google allows alternative browsers like Opera and Firefox	Possible mention: Paul Otellini, CEO Intel to investors regarding Windows 8 on ARM vs. Windows 8 on Intel "We have the advantage of the incumbency, advantage of the legacy support. Not just in terms of applications but devices."

23		- more of a showcase built on pre-existing app stores for iOS, Android - example: Pinterest in FB app store just pointing to the iOS app, purchase completed in iOS store, FB gets no $ - apps must use FB login to be listed in App Center. more FB logins, more data Facebook has on its users and the more targeted its advertising can be. iOS has partnership with Twitter - free web apps too that force FB for login. spotify for example. 3rd party web apps get big promotion on the FB. - HTML5 paid apps. FB will take 30% fee for sales. FB gets devs to build HTML5 apps instead of proprietary app stores. gives FB user activity, data, etc. Bypasses a co. like Apple and its rules. - currently offering paid apps to developers in a beta test. Up to now developers could have in-app payments on the network but only if the apps were free to access.	- in short-term, promotion/encouragemnt to buy in originating app stores will be good for apple/android - long-term will HTML5 apps take over? FB would love that. GROUP FILE SHARING -Facebook also rolled out file sharing for groups accruing to Mashable - A small percentage of groups will have access today with more getting access in the coming days - Users can upload most file types up to 25MB -- the same file size limit as Gmail. The exceptions: music files (sorry, old-school Napster fans) and executable (.exe) files (sorry, hackers). But e-books, comics, music videos and other small movies are fair game. -Last month Groups for Schools got file sharing

76		Hi TNT People, I heard your suggestion from Richard in Cleveland on TNT 497. In the UK, British Telecom already offers this. I have a BT Infinity ADSL account (45 Mb Down, 12 Mb up - just sayin'). This account allows you to sign up to BT FON, a system where I allow others to log onto my router in exchange for me having access to other routers who have done the same. BT manages it all remotely (which IS a bit of a security concern, as you said), but the upside is that I have been able to log onto FON hotspots all over the country. Keep up the great work Mike in the UK

25		- Facebook's doing its Roadshow to get investors excited about its IPO - Mark Zuckerberg has been making the rounds - first on Monday in NY wearing his hoodie - Michael Pachter, analyst for Wedbush Securities, says that wearing a hoodie to a meeting is a sign of Zuckerberg's lack of seriousness “Mark and his signature hoodie: He’s actually showing investors he doesn’t care that much; he’s going to be him,” Pachter said in an interview on Bloomberg TV. “I think that’s a mark of immaturity. .... I think he’s got to show them the respect that they deserve because he’s asking them for their money.” Pachter said Zuckerberg “is well-suited to be the chief product officer, the chief user-experience officer, to manage the design of the user interface, to decide every feature that goes in.”	- “I personally could care less what Mr. Zuckerberg wears and when he wears it,” Pachter told TPM. - Pachter and Wedbush issued the first “buy” recommendation for Facebook at a price of $44 per share, nine dollars over Facebook’s own upper-limit pricing recommendation. - Pachter did compare FB to Apple, talking about a genius running a company

31		- The Netherlands adopted legislation to safeguard an open and secure internet in The Netherlands, first country in Europe to put net neutrality into law - NN prohibits IPs from tampering with the traffic of their users. The law allows for traffic management in case of congestion and for network security, as long as these measures serve the interests of the internet user. A technical error in the law might still be corrected in a vote on 15 May. - also the law has an anti-wiretapping provision, restricting IPs from using wiretapping technologies, such as deep packet inspection (DPI). They may only do so under "limited circumstances", or with explicit consent of the user, which the user may withdraw at any time. wiretapping requires a warrant - law also includes a provision that internet providers can only disconnect users in a very limited set of circumstances, like in the case of fraud or when a user doesn’t pay his bills.	- provisions are part of the implementation of the European telecommunications rules - Chile was the 1st country in the world to adopt net neutrality law - - The technical error is an exception in the law that lets users request an ISP to filter their Internet traffic by blocking certain services and applications based on ideological grounds. It's a clause added to the proposed law last year when the Dutch Labor Party accidentally voted in favor of an amendment proposed by the Reformed Political Party. Parliament wants to nullify this religious exception clause by adding it to an unrelated law concerning traffic regulation on May 15, which nobody expects to pass. so the religious exception shouldn't become law.

76		Tom and Posse, One way they could massively increase a potential carrier Wi-Fi network is to utilize the huge home router install base for a carrier like AT&T (which at least in Cleveland seems to be the de facto choice for cheap high speed). Imagine if you opted in to a program that gives you a discount on service, and in exchange you download an update to your router to allow it to be a Passpoint hotspot. There would have to be some limits, probably capping bandwidth and limiting the number of overall connections so your home service doesn't stink, but I think it would be a great way to rapidly deploy a very usable Wi-Fi supplementary data network.

78		In my opinion, [Toll Free Data] could go one of two ways. The first is a net neutrality concern, However what if it was like a toll free number where in an ideal situation, it is free to all users. Therefore, if Facebook is a free data service, then Facebook will pay the appropriate fees to the appropriate carriers just as a toll free number owner pays the appropriate fees to the appropriate carriers. Just my 2 cents, Frank

32		WiFi Alliance coordinated development of Passpoint - will begin certifying WiFi network equipment and end-user devices for the new connection method next month. Based on Hotspot 2.0 Spec. T-Mobile said they would employ Passpoint at some point, ATT and Verizon are in the alliance but wouldn't commit, Sprint the only major not in the alliance said it has no thing to share.-Allows users to access WiFi hotspots seamlessly without having to log in, relieving use of data on cellular networks. Uses SIM card to authenticate -WiFi Alliance CEO Edgar Figueroa told Ars. he "would not be surprised" to see Passpoint-enabled WiFi networks available to consumers in the third quarter of this year. It's a software upgrade not a hardware requirement.	-Passpoint is "pretty much a future dream at this point," said Jack Gold, an analyst at J.Gold Associates. "It's unlikely there will be universal networks that you can roam against. There are probably no phones out there right now that do this ... I don't think it can happen quickly." -About 72 percent of those surveyed would even pay more for the ability to connect automatically to WiFi hotspots, and 70 percent said they would switch providers to get such an offering. -AT&T has its own system that allows for use of AT&T WiFi without login -Ars Technica points out a new revision of the IEEE's 802.11 WiFi standard, 802.11/2012 was announced yesterday and supports faster devices and networks as well as better handoff between cellular and WiFi networks.

36		Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski spoke at the CTIA show in New Orleans -Pushed his POV that more competition leads to lower prices, disputing ATT's statement that recent price hikes were because they weren't allowed to buy T-Mobile -ATT didn't agree “The merger AT&T proposed last year was all about creating more capacity by combining the spectrum holdings and networks of two companies,” responded Jim Cicconi, Senior Executive Vice President, External and Legislative Affairs. “The FCC was within its rights to withhold its approval. But it is incorrect when it denies the impact such decisions have on the price of wireless services. Basic economics, and the law of supply and demand, apply to the wireless industry as to all others. In the case of wireless, without additional capacity, which would have been created by our transaction, prices rise.” -Acknolwedge they need more spectrum: “The kinds of challenges we have in mobile are the kind we want — challenges stemming from mobile demand,” Genachowski said.	RELATED; Verizon CTO Tony Melone supported the idea of "toll-free" access to customers "As we move away from flat rate pricing, there is room for an 1-800-type of service where certain destinations could offset the cost of the network to get customers to those destinations," he said. "There are Net neutrality issues that have to be addressed, too." -AT&T CTO John Donovan: ON why technology doesn't get rolled out faster - "If you're late to the market, customers will punish you and they'll go elsewhere," he said. "If you go too early shareholders penalize you, because you aren't using the network. The hardest task is not selecting the technology, but picking the window of time to deploy it."

40		-Senator Al Franken is urging the DoJ and FCC to investigate whether Comcast has violated the conditions of approval of its merger with NBC Universal - Comcast exempts the XBox 360 Xfinity on Demand app from its data cap. -Also brought up Sony's recent statements that they are holding off starting a video service because of Comcast data caps Sena Fitzmaurice, VP of government communications at Comcast said “We are not aware of anyone who has taken a contrary view,” she said. “When Comcast streams its own services over the open Internet, such streaming is subject to Comcast’s broadband Internet data usage standards. But the Xfinity app for the X-Box does not stream content over the open Internet.”	-Dan Rayburn at Streaming Media Blog talked with folks examining packets -Packets from MLB, Hulu, Netflix marked CS1 originate from Level3 and Akamai - outside Comcast network. Lowest priority "best effort" --- Xfinity packets marked CS5 - originate from Comcast servers - Maximum bandwidth assurance -All traffic from the cable modem termination system to the home cable modem shares the same path. No "private IP network" -No evidence how or if the tags are being used. Rayburn: "if they are using them I think you could then make a reasonable assertion that the spirit, if not the letter, of the DoJ statement is being broken by Comcast."-----SHOULD be delivered over a different VLAN...with a different bandwidth limit.

78		Hello tnt crew As an early adopter of Facebook, I chose it BECAUSE of the privacy options. As I live in Brazil, I was trying to escape Orkut, and the idea that ANYONE could see my profile just scared me. However 95% of my Brazilian friends were just fine with Orkut's lack of privacy and used it all the time. In the last year most of them moved to Facebook, many attracted by the social games. Facebook's NEW standard account is open, and I observed that all of the recent adoptors have open accounts. When I mention they should look at their privacy settings, many do not even understand WHY it should not be open - Orkut is open, how will people FIND them if they change it???? This might explain at least some of the users who never touched their privacy controls... Cheers Claudia

15		-San Francisco jury issued averdict today that the company broke copyright laws when it used Java APIs to design the system and when it copied 9 lines of code. Google was not found guilty of infringing by copying software documentation. - Jury could not reach decision on whether Google had a valid "fair use" defense -Google has asked for a mistrial based on the incomplete verdict, and that issue will be briefed later this week. - Judge Alsup has yet to rule whether APIs are in fact protectable by copyright - Tyler Ochoa, a professor of copyright law at Santa Clara University quoted by Ars Technica: "Other people will be deterred from using Java as the basis for some non-standard thing in the future. It could be the case that Oracle wins the battle and loses the war." - Wired quotes George Reese, Chief Technology Officer with cloud management services firm enStratus Networks, tells Wired Enterprise: “If APIs can be copy-protected, that would be incredibly destructive to the internet as a whole for so many different reasons,” Reese said. “But with respect to cloud, in particular, it would put any company that has implemented the Amazon APIs at risk unless they have some kind of agreement with Amazon on those APIs.” -now considering Oracle's allegations that Google has infringed two Java-related patents. witnesses will begin testifying tomorrow, possibly including a repeat show by Jonathan Schwartz, the ex-Sun CEO. The patent phase is expected to be concluded in as little as one week.

88		Hey TNT Crew, Re: your discussion about Microsoft’s decision to unbundle Media Center & DVD playback from Windows 8, I think I can clear up the confusion with all the Pack names etc. I think we can all agree that Microsoft does a horrible job at communicating things and that diagram they put on the blog post explaining how this worked was a horrible diagram, but this is what I think they meant. Firstly: They’ve renamed “Windows Anytime Upgrade” (the feature you currently use to upgrade say Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional or Ultimate simply by paying and entering a new product key") to “Add Features To Windows 8”. So with that let’s explain the packs: So, if you are on Windows 8 Pro and you open “Add Features to Windows 8”, you’ll have one choice: Media Center Pack. If you are on Windows 8 and you open “Add Features to Windows 8”, you’ll have two choices: Windows 8 Pro AND Windows 8 Pro with Media Center Pack. The reason they’re giving you two choices when you upgrade from Windows 8 is so that instead of having to first upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, restart and then upgrade to the Media Center pack, they’re letting you do it all in one step. You also still have the choice to upgrade to plain Windows 8 Pro if you want the extra domain features, but don’t need DVD playback (most work machines). I think that’s what the diagram means. I REALLY hope they stop using the term Windows 8 Pro Pack though, they need to say “Windows 8 Pro with Media Center Pack” to distinguish from the plain Windows 8 Pro upgrade, because just adding the word “Pack” doesn’t explain what they’re doing and confuses everyone.

90		Hi TNT Crew. I run a Blu-ray company out in NJ, and lately we've seen a lot of interest in our products through torrent sites. About 20,000 visitors to our site yesterday came from sites like Torrent-Damage and pretty much the entire gamut of download and p2p services. We just live with it. We know we can't stop it, but we do think that we can influence behavior from one of freeloading to something that is a bit more mutually beneficial. So, anyway, we posted a note, and we think it's a pretty good etiquette suggestion. In sum, "If you like what you take, consider paying it forward." Write a review where paying customers might see it. Perhaps write a review or post to twitter or facebook. There is no shortage of real things that pirates can do that can help an independent label. http://www.bluscenes.com/blogs/news/6028498-note-to-torrent-site-visitors All the best, Jason Rosenfeld Scenic Labs, LLC	http://www.bluscenes.com/blogs/news/6028498-note-to-torrent-site-visitors

16		- 2 days ago Yahoo issued a letter to investors- made clear disgruntled shareholder Dan Loeb, 6% owner of Y, bigger than any current board member should not get board seat. YAHOO QUOTE: “The board continues to believe that Mr. Loeb himself does not bring the relevant skill set and experience to the board, particularly in comparison to the candidates selected by the board" - yesterday Dan Loeb sends letter to Yahoo board claiming CEO Scott Thompson added a computer science degree to his resume. - Thompson went to Stonehill College, near Boston, from 1975 to 1979. Stonehill confirms Thompson graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration (Accounting). No CS degree offered in his years there - “Scott received a bachelor’s in accounting and computer science from Stonehill College,” both Yahoo and eBay (previous co) bios. in Yahoo’s regulatory SEC filings include it too, tho eBay SEC papers didn't - Loeb called into q amount of vetting done by board member Patti Hart on the CEO choice. Claims Hart changed her degree from Illinois State College from business administration to economics and marketing.	- Yahoo's 1st response: inadvertent error. By last night new statement: “In connection with the statement the company made earlier today about Scott Thompson, the Yahoo! board will be reviewing this matter, and upon completion of its review, will make an appropriate disclosure to shareholders.” - Today Dan Loeb writes new letter to Yahoo board, Loeb and his shareholder firm Third Point call for Y! to disclose details of Thompson’s vetting process, reveal who if any Y directors knew about his resume. Loeb calls to fire Thompson and director Patti Hart. - Third Point will consider it grounds for further action if the Board does not take the following steps by Noon EDT on Monday, May 7th - Meanwhile audio intvw from TechNation radio show in 2009 when Thompson was president of PayPal surfaces. Moira Gunn asks: “Your bachelor’s degree is in accounting and computer science. Now, from both of those, I mean that’s, that’s pretty obvious that’s PayPal. What are the most important things you learned?” “Yeah" says Thompson, no correction. Goes on to speak of tech training at Stonehill College and calling himself an engineer.

But Judge William Alsup cut him off before he could do so. -Alsup told the jurors that if there was the possibility for a decision to still be reached in the normal course of affairs, "we should take advantage of that hope and spend one more day deliberating." -The jury was then sent home, with the judge hoping that on a "fresh, bright Monday morning" a complete decision may be reached. - Oracle is in favor of a partial verdict, Google opposes it. The Judge has said he would receive a partial verdict. -It seems that the jury can agree on the infringement question but not on the fair use question -Oracle has asked a judge to bar Google from using testimony given by former Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz in the companies' intellectual-property suit over the Android mobile OS, saying it has "no legal and factual predicate." It was a yes or no question and Schwartz volunteered an opinion. -Google Inc's Android mobile platform resulted in a net loss for the company in every quarter of 2010, despite generating roughly $97.7 million in revenue for the first quarter of that year, a U.S. judge said in court.

In a brief response, Nokia states, “Nokia is reviewing the allegations contained in the complaint and believes that they are without merit. Nokia will defend itself against the complaint.” -Nokia actually reported a huge $1.7 billion lossfor Q1 — CEO Stephen Elop told shareholders much of the loss for Q1 was due to one-time restructuring costs. -The lawsuit states Nokia executives who were making wildly positive assertions about the company’s switch to Microsoft’s mobile OS “had actual knowledge of the misleading nature of the statements they made or acted in reckless disregard of the true information known to them at the time… This artificially inflated the price of Nokia’s securities and operated as a fraud or deceit.”

Go to Amazon.com scroll to the bottom and click help, then click contact us on the right side of the page, tell them what you want help with then you get the option of email, live text chat, or phone( where you put in your number and they call you!) more companies should do phone support that way, no annoying hold time just watch tv till they call you - Steve Honaker II

83		Just a comment from yesterdays "non-tech people's" view on Facebook privacy. Here's the story. A good friend of mine is about to become a "Real Housewife". (different show, but will be on TLC so audience wise same demo) I tried to tell her and her family since airtime is about 6-12 months away, NOW is the time to shift to a strategy to handle the inevitable vitriol and fanfare that the internet is famous for. Of course she thinks she 'got it under control', so i had a non friend of her look her up and she is not as private as she thinks. Being the nature of the show the amount of negative fanfare is going to be huge, comparing to my limited exp on my totally unoffensive non-sensational podcast, i still got about 30% very hateful, hurtful comments. Being around people in show biz a good portion of my life, I knew to just look for good constructive criticism and not pay attention to the hate for hates sake comments that rule the internet. So my comment is an example of how 'non-tech' followers, casual users, etc really have no clue of how this whole social media thing works. And my question is, how do i help without being the typical apathetic IT guy? I know for a fact this individual is very sensitive to things like, appearance, weight, etc... So I have to address this with a bit of 'told you so', before I have to say "I told you so" thanks! -Joe

Current shareholders could get $4B to $5.5B - The price range also means FB is valuing itself at $77B to $96B, which would make it America’s richest ever IPO, xceeding Google’s 2004 valuation of $24 billion.	Okay, so why not $100B or over? - FB mentioned in the filing that it had to spend half a billion on patents to defend itself from Yahoo's suit - FB warned of future Yahoo suits - CNET's theory: Additionally, its first quarter results showed a 12% drop in net income compared to the previous year. Total revenue was also down 6% compared to Q4 of 2011. Average revenue per use fell 12% compared to Q4 of 2011 - Spent $1b in cash in stock for Instagram, $300M was cash - Atlantic Wire's theory: Facebook's having a hard time showing how FB ads are translating into product sales- Lower valuation could get more investors for the roadshow

42		Furious judge decries "blizzard" of copyright troll lawsuits	http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/05/furious-judge-decries-blizzard-of-copyright-troll-lawsuits.ars
43		New York Magistrate Judge Gary Brown explains in great detail why an IP-address is not sufficient evidence to identify copyright infringers. According to the Judge this lack of specific evidence means that many alleged BitTorrent pirates have been wrongfully accused by copyright holders. On Tuesday, ruled against plaintiffs in several porn copyright trolling cases. His 26-page ruling is a devastating critique of this entire litigation strategy. labels mass-BitTorrent lawsuits a “waste of judicial resources.” “The assumption that the person who pays for Internet access at a given location is the same individual who allegedly downloaded a single sexually explicit film is tenuous, and one that has grown more so over time,” he writes. “An IP address provides only the location at which one of any number of computer devices may be deployed, much like a telephone number can be used for any number of telephones.” “Thus, it is no more likely that the subscriber to an IP address carried out a particular computer function – here the purported illegal downloading of a single pornographic film – than to say an individual who pays the telephone bill made a specific telephone call.” “While a decade ago, home wireless networks were nearly non-existent, 61% of US homes now have wireless access. As a result, a single IP address usually supports multiple computer devices – which unlike traditional telephones can be operated simultaneously by different individuals,” Timothy Lee at Ars Technica wrote: We're willing to bet that copyright trolls will steer clear of Judge Brown's courtroom in future, as they have when past judges have taken a firm line against their actions. And Brown's impassioned opinion may cause judges elsewhere in the country to take a harder look at copyright trolls' tactics.

Imagine no further because Judge Lucy Koh of the US District Court for the Northern District of CA told the companies to simplify the case so a jury can understand the case and to decide a fair outcome in one trial. Both companies announced they would remove some patents and claims, but both blame the other side for not being able to drop even more. Koh said if the two don't come to a manageable set of claims, the trial could be pushed to 2013.	https://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9226803/Judge_again_orders_Apple_Samsung_to_streamline_claims_in_iPad_patent_case

81		Hey TNT crew, I just wanted to toss in a few experiences from the inside as an advertiser. In my past experiences as well as stories I still hear from friends in other agencies, there's definitely a hit or miss when it comes to Facebook. Believe me, all advertisers want to work with Facebook. The problem that I've personally seen is, oftentimes if you're not "big enough" in their view (when it comes to budgets), it's incredibly hard to get any form of contact from them (phone, email, etc.). Yes, there is the self-serve platform, but social is still a tricky platform to figure out and when an advertiser is trying to manage their client's budgets correctly, they'd like to learn how best to utilize Facebook for maximum results (e.g. What's the best type of image/creative? Suggestions on copy? What's the ideal mix of premium vs marketplace ads? Are there industry benchmarks to measure success?). To be honest, even in its early years, I've seen Facebook come in with quite the swagger and I know advertisers that have been turned off from spending money with them because they're not getting any service from the company. It's a tough position for Facebook, as there's probably far more advertisers than they're staffed for. Still, with all that money pouring in, you'd think they'd put a little bit more effort towards the hand that feeds them. Best, ddawg

83		Hey TNT! I just got caught up, but when you were discussing the possible greatness of Ubuntu for Android over the last couple of shows, the first thing that popped into my head was how possibly great this would be for Android developers. This could take a couple steps out of the equation each time I want to test a new version and make the whole process more streamlined. No more build, deploy, grab phone and test. Simply, build, deploy and change windows to view the app you just deployed. Obviously, at many points you want to test actually interfacing with the device itself, but this could eliminate the emulator for lots of scenarios and create a much better development environment. Always look forward to the show - thanks! Jeff Pomona, CA

31		- QUOTE FROM ZUCK "Facebook was originally not created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission -- to make the world more open and connected." big advertisers are vocally frustrated with FB, say they can't even find anyone at FB to take their calls or $. - FB IPO expected for May 18, Zuck & co. expected to start pitching the company to big investors in an IPO roadshow starting Monday - Facebook offers image and text-based ads like Google & Yahoo, with new spins. EXAMPLE: "Sponsored Stories" feature that lets advertisers rebroadcast people's positive posts on the site's main news feed to highlight them. Advertisers pay a rate based on impressions/views. EXAMPLE: advertisers target a segment of Facebook's users according to location or gender with accuracy and specificity unmatched elsewhere on the web - People familiar with the matter say FB will seek a $100B valuation, about 33x its advertising revenue, compared with 5.5x for Google. FB is still a young company with faster growth than Google, which is worth $200 billion but had $36.5 billion in ad revenue last year. - Jed Williams, an analyst at BIA Kelsey, said that in order to justify that valuation, Facebook's revenue would have to grow 41% annually for the next 5 years. - EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS: Ford Motor Co. said by using FB ads instead of Super Bowl ads in marketing its 2011 Explorer, shopping activity for the Explorer jumped 104% versus the average shopping lift of 14% following a Super Bowl ad.	- In latest quarter FB made over $1B in revenue, vast majority from advertising. - ad rev rose 37% to $872M from a year ago, but it was down 7.5% from the previous three months. Facebook blamed "seasonal trends" for the decline, as well as shifting user growth where the company generates less revenue per user. - COMPLAINT: Mike Parker, the co-president of U.S. operations of Tribal DDB: "For the longest time, we've been trying to call Facebook to do business with them and there's nobody to pick up the call. They're very focused on the consumer experience, and less focused on revenue and working with advertisers. - COMPLAINT: exec speaking anonymously to Cnet: "The problem is that Facebook isn't willing to do anything different for the client that wants to spend $10,000 versus $10 million." - March 31, 2011, to March 31 of this year, the number of full-time employees rose almost 48 percent to 3,539.

However, that same page also allows new users to create accounts, after which they could drill down through Dropbox's site and upgrade to a paid account. - Dropbox initially tried removing a link to the desktop version - Dropbox posted a version of its SDK that removed the ability to create a new account. - Dropbox issued a statement: "Apple is rejecting apps that use the Dropbox SDK because we allow users to create accounts.

77		Hi, I'm the Head of Mobile here at Eckoh (pronounced like "echo") and was lucky enough to see Ubuntu in Android at MWC this year and of the whole show it was easily one of the most impressive demos on display. The use case given was that you'd put your phone into an HDMI dock connected to your monitor / keyboard / mouse and the phone would switch into Ubuntu mode and you'd have a full PC. That approach eliminates the battery issues and the idea is that hotels, offices, etc. will eventually have these docks installed so that people can just turn up and use them. Hope that helps flesh-out the concept, thanks for the great show, Cheers, Ash.

Or are you just "courtesy-following" people but don't really want to read what they say? What I really want from the official Twitter clients is syncing across all devices. When I check it on my iPhone, I don't want to have to start over when I go to my desktop or iPad. I want to pick up from where I left off on my iPhone. Thanks for listening.

84		On your recent episode of TNT, you were asking if there is a service to allow you to view all of your cloud content in one place. Check out otixo.com This site seems to make this possible I also use the Goodreader app on my iPad to access files I have from multiple cloud services such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and others. You also mentioned the Box promotion which gave away 50Gb of cloud storage. There was a catch. I uploaded tons of photos and music files and have to download them one at a time unless I upgrade and pay for a minimum of 3 accounts. I recently sent them a complaint about doing this to customers. It would cost me $45/month in order to download whole folders at a time. Love TWIT, especially TNT and iPad Today. - Dion Norman	http://otixo.com

88		Just wanted to take the opportunity to educate on sound dampening from an engineer's point of view. In layman's terms, every 3db of increase or decrease in sound level represents either doubling the level or cutting it in half. So 4db of sound dampening is cutting the sound level by more than half. Quite an accomplishment, in my opinion. Thanks, Scott Martin Belpre, Ohio

20		U.K. High Court Orders ISPs to Block The Pirate Bay	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403749,00.asp
21		- Swedish file-sharing site The Pirate Bay must be blocked by ISPs Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk, O2 and Virgin Media, says the UK High Court. within the next few weeks - 6th ISP, BT, requested "a few more weeks" to consider their position on blocking the site. - British Phonographic Industry (BPI) (Britain's music industry trade group) demanded The Pirate Bay shut down in July 2011, unsuccessful. Then BPI aasked ISPs to block PB in November 2011. They said they wouldn't without a court order. Previously court order was obtained to block Newzbin 2, similar to PB, downloadable content, some pirated. - In Feb the High Court ruled that The Pirate Bay violates copyright regulations, going beyond "enabling or assisting". The case was seen as a green light for rights holders to force ISPs to block access to a number of high-profile filesharing sites in the UK, using the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Earlier this year PB moved away from torrents to the magnet format. - PB founders found guilty of copyright infringement in April 2009 in Swedish Supreme Court, sentenced to one year in prison, and hit with fines of about $32 million Swedish kroner (about $4.5 million). Appeal denied in Feb .	- Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group: "It will fuel calls for further, wider and even more drastic calls for internet censorship of many kinds, from pornography to extremism. Internet censorship is growing in scope and becoming easier. Yet it never has the effect desired. It simply turns criminals into heroes." - virgin: "As a responsible ISP, Virgin Media complies with court orders addressed to the company but strongly believes that changing consumer behavior to tackle copyright infringement also needs compelling legal alternatives, such as our agreement with Spotify, to give consumers access to great content at the right price." - O2: "On the wider point about copyright infringement, we have always said that music rights holders should continue to develop new online business models to give consumers the content they want, how they want it, for a fair price,"

87		Hi TNT Crew, I just listened to episode 489 and wanted to respond to the comment that “hand held gaming” is moving to phones and that devices like the Nintendo 3DS are a “lost cause”. While I don’t entirely disagree, as a father of 3 boys who love hand held gaming and who don’t have or need smart phones, devices like the Nintendo, DS, DSi and 3DS are great platforms for them to game on. They can share games and sync their devices for multi player gaming experiences without the need for data plans, social network accounts, etc. What I have noticed over the last few years is that as the devices have gotten more sophisticated (like the 3DS) they seem to be targed at an older market and that may be their ultimate undoing, my 9 years old’s 3DS can do some amazing things that he is too young to understand or take advantage of, and by the time he is old enough to “get it” he will likely have moved on to a smart phone or iPod Touch type device. My 13 year old son has a 3DS and an iPod Touch and he plays on both, mainly because Nintendo's flagship game franchises like Super Mario, Pokémon and Zelda are not available on iOS, if they were he’d probably never pick up his 3DS, which provides further support of your comments that Nintendo should sell their games on other platforms if they want to stay totally relevant. Love the show! Barry in New York

89		Hey Twit Heads, :-) In Friday's show you talked about a new implant for eyesight. Like you, I think that it is truly awesome. Unlike you, I do not want it. You need 4 times the resolution of an 8k TV to approach the capacity of the human eye. I've been slowly going blind for 50 years. I was an early adopter of eBooks, before the iPod and Audible came along. All the accessibility tricks available to computer users have helped me to remain somewhat productive. Yet I do not want a vision implant. Technology is wonderful until it fails. I recently replaced a pair of hearing aids at $3,200 per ear because my other ones just got old. Besides, like my electronic ears my electronic eyes will not feel natural, might be subject to radio interference, etc. give me a natural alternative instead. Fortunately there are a couple on the horizon. Some group in Oregon will be starting a clinical trial on Gene Therapy for Retinitis Pigmentosa patients soon. It'll be a race to see who gets to market first. Where the new electronic eye may prove more useful and you guys missed this is in robotics. Enjoy the show, keep up the good work Will Mullen Chicago, IL

16		Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) --T.C. Sotteck on The Verge, Declan Mcullagh on CNET Passed House yesterday and will soon be debated and voted on by Senate. White House has indicated President will veto -Originally meant to combat cyber threats, has been expanded to include national security -Self-protected entities (Facebook, Google, etc.) Get the right to use cybersecurity systems to obtain threat information to protect their rights and property. -They also get the right to share threat information with any other entity including the Feds ---Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a self-protected entity may, for cybersecurity purposes -- (i) use cybersecurity systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information to protect the rights and property of such self-protected entity; and (ii) share such cyber threat information with any other entity, including the Federal Government This overrides all other privacy laws. So can share information on customers with government as long as it pertains to a cyber threat. Amendment by Rep. Ben Quayle limits to only the following purposes (rather than any lawful purpose) but expands beyond cyber threats to cybersecurity, cyber crime, protecting people from harm (death bodily injury), protecting children from exploitation, and national security under existing federal law, any person or company who helps someone "intercept any wire, oral, or electronic communication"--unless specifically authorized by law--could face criminal charges. CISPA would trump all other laws. CYBER THREAT -"Efforts to harm public and private systems and networks" -"theft or wrongful possession of public or private data, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information"	PROTECTIONS -Government cannot demand more information that a self-protected company authorizes -Companies cannot use information shared to gain a marketplace advantage -Private companies are indemnified against liability for mistakes made when sharing the information SUPPORTED BY CTIA, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Internet Security Alliance, and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, and large companies like AT&T, Verizon, Facebook, Intel, Oracle, and Microsoft. ---Rep. Mike Rogers, Michigan "Without our ideas, without our innovation that countries like China are stealing every single day; we will cease to be a great nation." OPPOSED BY EFF, ACLU, Center for Democracy and Technology, American Library Association, TechFreedom --- Rep. Jared Polis, Colorado: CISPA would "waive every single privacy law ever enacted in the name of cybersecurity. Allowing the military and NSA to spy on Americans on American soil goes against every principle this country was founded on." PASSAGE Democrats largely oppose it and control the Senate and White House. Senate Majority leader Harry Reid would like to move forward on the bill in May WHAT ALREADY EXISTS Forbes: Cyberthreat information can be given to a non-profit, called the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA), which has a legal agreement with the government that allows it to then hand over info to the FBI.

Microsoft case of 1998. - While difficult to prove abuse of a monopoly in an antitrust case Douglas Broder, author of several antitrust law textbooks, sais "It can be done."	- The general issue of the investigation is whether Google abuses its Internet search power. - Google controls ~66% of the US search market, according to comScore - Bing = 15%, Yahoo = 14% - Critics argue that Google is manipulating results to hide competitors while Google asserts that "competition is a click away" - The US isn't the only ones investigating Google.

25		-Spotify is developing a U.S. Internet radio service that would directly challenge Pandora, said two people with knowledge of the situation. - Spotify declined to comment - Spotify’s strategy of attracting users with free, ad-supported services who can be converted later into paying subscribers. About one-third of Spotify users have signed up for paid plans offering unlimited, commercial-free music on computers and mobile devices. - Spotify founded in 2006, had 10 million registered users worldwide, and 3 million paying subscribers, it said in November. Pandora, started in 2005, has 150 million registered users, with 49 million logging in within the last 30 days, according to the company. Pandora is U.S. only -	- Spotify has content deals with Sony Music, Universal Music, EMI and Warner Music. artists, record companies and publishers receive a cut of ad sales and subscriber fees. Artists like The Beatles. Others, including The Black Keys and Adele, have withheld new releases citing threats to music sales over services such as Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iTunes. a Pandora- like radio service would give Spotify users access to artists who are now withholding their music. - Pandora users can’t choose specific songs, they have access to any artist whose music has been published, because the service operates under federal rules.

35		Former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz took the stand as a witness for the defense. Schwartz resigned from Sun on January 27, 2010. The day Oracle took control of the company. -Google's lawyer, Robert van Nest, asked Schwartz whether, during his tenure at Sun, Java APIs were considered proprietary or protected by Sun. -"No," Schwartz said in explaining the nature of open software. "These are open APIs, and we wanted to bring in more people...we wanted to build the biggest tent and invite as many people as possible." -Schwartz said that Sun wanted Google to pay a big license fee to call its phone a Java phone, and join Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry (RIM) and others in developing apps that run across all the platforms. -In cross-examination, Oracle's lawyer Michael Jacobs pointed out Schwartz was talking business strategy not legal strategy which Schwartz agreed with. He also asked about a document referencing Sun's approach for granting intellectual property rights for independent implementations of Java, such as Android and Apache. -Schwartz responded that as long as Google, Apache or others creating independent implementations didn't call their product Java, Sun had no problem. "In order to get the brand, you had to get the TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit)."	OTHER COURT NEWS -Today Google asked to introduce two documents into evidence from the US Copyright Office that show there's no record of what code Oracle submitted in connection with the registration of Java 2 SE 1.4 and 5.0. 1 Disk is blank and the there's no record of the other being submitted. -One day after Oracle asked for the right to assert a third patent against Google in the ongoing Android/Java intellectual property trial, Judge William Alsup has ordered that it is too late to introduce the patent into the case. -Last night Google asked the court for a judgment that would invalidate at least a portion of the copyrights Oracle claims over Java APIs. - Closing arguments in the copyright portion of this case are expected Monday. Once copyright issues are decided by the jury, the sides will argue over Oracle's claim that Android violates Java patents.

80		On episode 487 there was a call about local storage versus cloud storage. The conversation went in the direction of privacy. I think the caller was really talking about the fact that phone data plans are sensitive to data usage. Cloud storage and music streaming can consume your whole plan. With local storage you wouldn't need to use any data to access that data. This would free your data plan to serve dynamic, real time data. As carriers move to enforce these data caps, we need to find ways to manage the data usage. Cloud and streaming go in the opposite direction. Thanks, Don

82		Hey TNT crew, A question which popped up after the announcement of the Google Drive was whether one's google docs would count against the storage cap. What about Google Music? I'm possibly one of the few people who finds the service really helpful. And guess what? It does not count against the 5GB storage limit I have with Google Drive. So now I can upload any music/podcasts I have to Google Music without sacrificing any space on Google Drive. Also Google Music has no storage caps (at least none that I know of). Just a nifty observation which I thought I would share with you and the rest of the TNT viewership. Cheers, Ashank

84		Looking at this case seems to make it look very close to the Sun-Microsoft lawsuit. Sun sued Microsoft over their Java VM because Microsoft extended it beyond the sun vm and made an platform that ran java code and would require the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine to run. Google seems to be doing the same thing they wrote an JVM that while it ran java code it was extended so that if you used the android sdk to write an java program it would only run on their os and not any other. Google seems to have the altitude that they will put out an product then deal with the legal issues later. Oddly apples JVM was left alone until they stopped updating it and handed the support to oracle. Jeffrey Allentown,PA

Facebook will not get a license to the 300 patents AOL licensed to Microsoft. - It's probably safe to assume Microsoft is getting a license to the 650 patents it's selling to Facebook, but we're trying to confirm that now. ATD reports: Microsoft and Facebook began working on a deal the day after Redmond emerged as the winner of the AOL patents. Facebook general counsel Ted Ullyot: "This is another significant step in our ongoing process of building an intellectual property portfolio to protect Facebook's interests over the long term."

It’s an important portfolio that reflects all of the tremendous value Yahoo brought to this space, and we are very sensitive to the importance of our relationship with Yahoo and our relationship with Facebook.” -Josh Constine at TechCrunch points out Facebook has bulked up from 56 patents at the start of the year to 1461 -Facebook IPOs mid-May -Facebook updated it's S-1 filing today.

90		I have been watching the Google, Oracle law suit and I wanted to throw in my two cents. First off, I am not a professional programmer. Most of the programming I do is for the controls of my robot (plug: 610bob.com/robot), but I do know Java for the desktop as well for Android, AS3, and C/C++ which is my language of choice. I liked Tom's explanation of what is happening, but I felt that API's implantation, rather then use may better help people understand Oracle's absurdity in this case. The implementation of API's change across languages, but they can all be boiled down to one specific fact. API's are just an agreed upon location in memory were a programmer can call upon it and either give data, receive data, or both. Think of it like this. There are two neighborhoods. Lets call one G and the other O. Neighborhood O has a specific place for an ice cream truck to park. It sit right across from the school. If the neighborhood kids want to get chocolate, they need to go to this specific location. Neighborhood G wants to allow there kids similar access, but doesn't feel like retraining their kids since most of the them came from Neighborhood C. So neighborhood G parks a chocolate ice cream truck in front of their school. Basically, Oracle is suing Google for parking Google's ice cream truck in front of the school. The fundamental fact is that APIs are meant to be shared. If that changes, it will have a grave effect on programming. But to be honest, I don't know what frightens me more. The fact that Oracle is willing to cause massive collateral damage because they are mad at google, or that the fate of programmers everywhere is in the hands of a jury that probably doesn't even know the first thing of programing.

94		Hello TNT Crew, I have been a huge fan of google since day one and have never had a problem until today. About a month ago I took a picture with my android phone. The picture involved myself killing a spider and performing an inappropriate gesture towards it (giving it the bird), I'm petrified of spiders so when I had my glorious moment I proceeded to email that picture (from my android phone as an attachment through my personal gmail account) to my wife in hilarity. So it's a month after that situation, and today I sent my wife an E-mail, totally unrelated to previous events. She opened the email (From her personal Gmail account), the Contact information that shows up on the top right corner showed a "Recent Pictures" showing a picture of me flipping off the spider. That picture was never posted as a profile picture, added to any library, album, NOTHING (Double Checked in case I did it on accident). It was only sent from that one email. I wasn't even aware gmail did that. Depending on the situation that could turn out bad. I would hate for someone to be looking over her shoulder whom I would not want to see that inappropriate picture. Worst part is I have no control over it what so ever. This is now changing my feelings towards Google. Google + advertisments EVERYWHERE, were already testing my nerves. Thank P.S. Feel free to summarize as you please on the air Trevor Smith

13		- Repsonding to a complaint from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Apple said Thursday in an Australian federal court that its decision to tout the tablet as 4G was not deceptive - Apple reiterated that its website makes it clear what networks it will work on in Australia. - Technically only LTE Advanced and WiMax Release 2 are 4G BUT International Telecommunications Union allows apply the 4G branding to HSPA+ networks because they provide a “substantial level of improvement in performance...with respect to the initial third-generation systems now deployed.” - “The iPad with WiFi + 4G is a device which performs in accordance with the descriptor ‘4G’ in terms of data transfer speed,” Apple argued in its brief, - “The descriptor ‘4G’ … conveys to consumers in Australia that the iPad with WiFi + 4G will deliver a superior level of service in terms of data transfer speed (consistent with accepted industry and regulatory use of that term), and not that the iPad with WiFi + 4G is compatible with any particular network technology promoted by a particular mobile service provider in Australia.” -

18		- The Hamburg State Court ruled that Google, YouTube’s corporate parent, will need to prevent users from re-posting flagged copyrighted material without express consent. - The court ruled that once a YouTube post has been flagged, the company must use its monitoring software to make sure that further copyright infringement does not occur, which would include live recording and alternate mixes. - The suit was filed two years ago by GEMA, the German royalty agency, and other music rights groups, who alleged that the video-sharing site had infringed on the copyright of seven particular pieces of music - The German court said that YouTube doesn't need to conduct proactive searches, but does need to act in a timely manner once the rights holder took action. - -

37		- London Olympics 2012 wants to make sure brands who pay up get exclusive coverage - Locog says they must secure the contracts that have paid for the Olympics, but some say smaller businesses don't have resources to walk the line of legality while also benefiting economically - Since the Sydney Games in 2000, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) requires bidding governments to commit further layer of legal sanction. while bidding in 06, parliament passed the London Olympic Games & Paralympic Games Act. Together with Olympic Symbol (Protection) Act of 1995, offers a special level of protection that outlaws unauthorised "association". This bars non-sponsors from using words/imgs suggest too close a link with the Games. for example any two of the following list: "Games, Two Thousand and Twelve, 2012, Twenty-Twelve".. A breach of these acts is a criminal offence. - Crowd ticketholders/athletes can't upload event videos. Locog (games organizers) will have branding "police", the Games organisers Locog have acknowledged, to check bathrooms for unauth company branding/stickers/logos.	- - A photoshoot for airline easyJet was interrupted by a Locog monitor because athlete Sally Gunnell had a union flag over her shoulders. According to reports, Locog felt this associated with her famous pose after winning Olympic gold in Barcelona in 1992 (British Airways, rather than easyJet, is the airline sponsor of London 2012). - so-called "ambush" marketing is where businesses creatively try to circumvent branding rules. At the 2010 World Cup, 36 female Dutch fans were thrown out of a match for wearing orange dresses without logos. organisers called it ambush campaign by the beer company Bavaria. (Fifa also requires bespoke branding legislation). - Twitter has already agreed to barr non-sponsors from buying promoted ads with hashtags like #London2012. - athletes can't Tweet about a brand that isn't an Olympic sponsor. (During "Games Period" - 18 July to 15 August - advertising rules become much stricter for athletes, banning all non-sponsor endorsements.) - can be disqualified, but reality is a famous athlete won't be - Locog says images can be used only for private purposes. G+ circle, FB group, etc could work

41		- IBM today announced two partners for the Battery 500 project aimed at building a lithium air battery able to propel an electric car 500 miles. - Scientists from Asahi Kasei and Central Glass with expertise in membranes and electrolyte chemistries will join IBM researchers on the initiative. - will use oxygen from the air to drive a chemical reaction with Lithium and, in the process, deliver a big jump in EV range potential. - Want a working demo by end of next year (Project has existed since 2009) - The approach IBM is pursuing now would actually use two electrolytes, with one on the anode side and another on the cathode side. Because IBM has chosen a battery design with two electrolytes, membrane technology to control the movement of lithium ions is an important part of the research. - primary technical barriers are cost and energy density

It was a unanimous decision and it also means that Internet users will not be disconnected for piracy without a court order. The case started in 2010 and centered around ISP iiNet refusing to cut off its users after receiving notices from content companies. The studios lost in that court, appealed twice and lost each time.	http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/hollywood-loses-final-appeal-in-piracy-case-20120420-1xb12.html#ixzz1sat4i7Ve

76		While I was listening to you talk about the frequency of people sending a sexting message to the wrong person, I had to cringe. You see, my husband and his father have the same name. My husband is not even a junior. They just chose not to give him that suffix. Every time I send my husband a text or an email that's the least bit risqué I'm terrified that I'll accidentally send it to my father-in-law. I've never done it, but I can imagine the embarrassment. Even though I have added the suffix "Sr." to his record in my contacts, it's still too close for comfort. I wonder if this is the case in some of those accidental sextings. -Shannon

80		Hi TNT Crew, I think the Lava Xolo 900 isn't going to make a big splash in the Indian market, sales wise. I say that because almost all Indian consumers associate Lava with really affordable albeit extremely low quality feature phones. Lava doesn't have enough brand recognition in the high end sector of the Indian Mobile market, which is dominated by established players like Samsung, HTC and yes, Apple! I would be really surprised if Lava manages to create a credible brand image and beat the established bigwigs, all in one go. Although, I am really stoked about Intel joining the Mobile CPU bandwagon. Love the show, guys. Keep up the good work! -Karan Deshmukh (Pronounced, Kur-uhn Day-sh-mookh) Amravati, Maharashtra, India

(Gizmodo asked around at various stores and it looks like Lumia 900s are selling out) - Elop acknowledged they need to focus on the low-end: The portfolio focus will likely be on series 40 (7 new Asha devices) in 2Q12.

40		- Korea IT News reported Wednesday that iPhone 5 is likely to be housed in Liquidmetal: alloy of titanium, zirconium, nickel, copper & other metals. It apparently makes the outer surface of the phone "smooth like liquid" - Liquidmetal comes via the California Institute of Technology in 1992. It's a class of patented amorphous metal alloys (basically metallic glass) with high strength, high wear resistance against scratching/denting, and a good strength-to-weight ratio. Apple was granted rights to use it 8/2010. - “Liquidmetal allows precision parts to be fabricated similar to plastic injection molding, but with similar properties to metal,” IHS senior principal analyst Kevin Keller said. Why use it? With traditional metal you either need to bend a piece of sheet metal, or die-cast with aluminum or magnesium. In die-casting, alloys are brittle, poor wear resistance. Liquidmetal’s injection molding process is new tech and $$$ - Liquidmetal is in Apple products & other manufacturers for past few years. The SIM card ejector tool in some North American 1st-gen iPads was made of Liquidmetal, for example.	- Investment banking firm, PiperJaffray says Apple will stick with fall launch for iPhone 5 because of supply issue with Qualcomm's 28-nm modem chip for LTE compatibility - Qualcomm's CFO Bill Keital told Reuters demand has surpassed availability so much that they've "decided to start spending more money to get more supply as soon as possible." Keitel also noted that this shortage is draining the company of tens of millions of dollars.

85		Hey TNT, I'm really tired of everyone saying the Lumia 900 "only" has a single core processor, has a "lower resolution" screen, and can't "run head to head" with other flagship devices. It seems like every time the phone comes up in conversation, these are the arguments everyone has against the Windows Phone. None of these arguments are a reason not to buy the device. The phone doesn't need a dual core processor. Windows Phone has absolutely no lag on the hardware in the Lumia 900, and neither do any apps. It's absolutely buttery smooth. Windows Phone can only run on very specific hardware, making it possible for Microsoft to target development for those lower specification pieces of hardware. The Lumia 900's processor is more than sufficient for Windows Phone. The screen is "lower resolution," yes, but the screen still looks absolutely fantastic. What people don't understand is that the Lumia 900's screen still has pretty high PPI. Here's some math: On a 23" 1080p monitor, PPI is 95.78. On the iPhone 4S, the PPI is 329.65. On the Lumia 900, the PPI is 216.97. So if you're like most people, who can use a 1080p monitor with absolutely no complaints about supposed pixelation, then the Lumia 900's screen-which is more than half as dense as the iPhone 4S, and over twice as dense as 23" 1080p monitor-is going to be perfectly fine for you. The only real argument for why the Lumia 900 isn't the phone to get right now is that it might not be getting Apollo, which is still unconfirmed. - Jacob Bearce

19		- AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint say they need more radio spectrum for phone calls and wireless data & they need the govt to help. - next few years they may not have enough of it to meet the exploding demands for mobile data. spotty connections, bad service. Recent study but Cisco shows mobile data usage more than doubled in 2011. - inventor of the cellphone, former VP Motorola, chairman at Dyna LLC (tech co. incubator)Martin Cooper says the wireless industry has technology to fix networks. says we go thru this every few years. - - TECH EXAMPLE: the smart antenna. A traditional radio antenna on a cell tower sends energy out in all directions, but only some goes to the right phone. smart antenna would direct energy straight at the phones, current spectrum used more effiently. 4th gen LTE networks are supposed to adopt smart antennas, but most carriers haven’t started installing them yet. new antennas should ship inside phones in next 2 years too.	- F.C.C. divides up the spectrum by bands of frequency to keep certain frequencies interfering with one another, then gives licenses for each frequency band to entities like the military, TV stations, astronomy researchers, phone carriers. - When a company gets the license for a band of radio waves, it has the exclusive rights to use it. Once a company owns it, competitors can’t have it. (ATT wanted T-Mobile for spectrum) spectrum licenses come with obligations where carriers had to agree to serve the public interest, but those agreements have significantly weakened. - FCC spokesman Neil Grace says “No single action is a silver bullet when it comes to meeting mobile capacity needs,” “More efficient use of spectrum, new technologies, and unleashing new spectrum are all important parts of the mix.” - David P. Reed, SVP at biz software co SAP Labs & former prof. comp sci/engineering MIT, says electromagnetic spectrum is not finite, says there's tech for transmitting and receiving signals so that they do not interfere with one another. Separating the frequency bands shouldn't even be required, spectrum can be shared

The board, according to one person familiar with the matter, "Was told, not consulted." - Mr. Zuckerberg owns 28% of Facebook's stock, and controls 57% of its voting rights, giving him the freedom to act independently if he wants. Mr. Systrom, similarly, owns about 45% of his company. - Amin Zoufonoun, Facebook's director of corporate development, helped hammer out details later in the talks - Zuckerberg had been interested in acquiring Instagram since the previous summer	- Zuckerberg's motivation: concerned when he saw millions of people signing up for the Android app, people familiar with the matter said. One concern: Facebook was falling behind in mobile as younger start-ups were innovating more quickly. - Coming up with a sale price: Zuckerberg told Systrom to value Instagram as a %age of Facebook. Systrom said FB could be a $200B company and Instagram could go for 1% of FB --> discussed FB being valued at $104B - Mr. Zuckerberg also offered Mr. Systrom assurances that Instagram could remain independent under Facebook - NYT reports the $1b is broken down as 70% stock, 30% cash

41		Google had their own slides and used a "failed" stamp on Sun and Oracle efforts to build a java smartphone platform. Google's 'Key points of evidence' • Sun gave the Java language to the public • Google built Android using free and open technologies • Sun publicly approved Android's use of Java (Quotes from CEO Jonathan Schwartz praising Android's utilization of Java) • Google made fair use of the Java language APIs in Android It all comes down to whether the APIs are open or not, as we know Googlequotes the 2011 depositions, this time turning to the chief architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle, Mark Reinhold: "Well, if there were no APIs, we would only have a language. You would be able to write basic computations that never did any IO, had any communication with the outside world or the underlying platform." Google thinks Oracle is trying to get money where they failed to before: APIs constitute a dramatically small portion of Android's 15 million lines of code. Oracle lawyers have found exactly nine lines of code that are the same as Sun's code Google CEO Larry Page took the stand again this morning -spent much of his testimony claiming not to know things or to be an expert -Was unable to identify a piece of evidence which caused a legal tussle between the two teams of lawyers, if another witness can identify it, Page may be called back.

My phone understands from being in my pocket how much exercise I've been getting and how many stairs I've been walking up and so on." - "One of the issues of social networking silos is that they have the data and I don't … There are no programmes that I can run on my computer which allow me to use all the data in each of the social networking systems that I use plus all the data in my calendar plus in my running map site, plus the data in my little fitness gadget and so on to really provide an excellent support to me." - Google now offers users immediate access to all data it holds on them and Facebook will send users their data, though it may take as long as three months to recover all of it. But the data needs to be standardized. - "It's interesting that people throughout the existence of the web have been concerned about monopolies. They were concerned [about] Netscape having complete control over the browser market until suddenly they started worrying that Microsoft had complete control of the browser market. So I think one of the lessons is that things can change very rapidly. - Was also critical of locked down systems like smartphone apps and surveillance and control fo the Net by governments - Part of The Guardian's week-long "Battle for control of the Internet" series.	Here are the three key sentences from Brin’s defense of himself today: “The primary threat by far to internet freedom is government filtering of political dissent.” “I certainly do not think [the problem of "digital ecosystems that are not as open as the web itself"] is on a par with government based censorship.” “While openness is a core value at Google, there are a number of areas where we can improve too.”

The memory will be reallocated to active apps.

83		Dear TNT Show, In regards to your discussion on near field payment systems replacing cash, all I can say is that until I can tip a Stripper with Bitcoins, no digital currency will replace cash. There will always be perfectly legal transactions that a person would prefer that a payment processor not know about. It could be a guy's night out, how much junk food you buy, or the amount you tithe at your house of worship. Until a micro payment system combines convenience with the desire for anonymity, cash will still be king. Warm Regards, McKinley Tabor

22		Oracle pondered buying RIM, Palm in phone move: CEO	http://news.yahoo.com/oracle-pondered-buying-rim-palm-phone-move-ceo-181156733--sector.html
23		Hi TNT, I was just listening to your discussion about API copyrights and wanted to clear up a few misconceptions. When I program in Java I actually use Oracles version of Java so this ruling wouldn't impact me. When I write iPhone apps I'm using the Apple development kit so Apple's copyright on their API wouldn't cause me problems. My Django and Rails projects are using open source APIs and hence I already have copyright permission. So if the courts decide APIs are copyrightable this will impact few developers other than Android developers and it probably won't impact them either, Google will just have to license Java from Oracle like they should have in the first place. - Robert Osborne	Greetings TNT crew, Just wanted to provide a counterpoint to the discussion in episode 480 that APIs should be freely incorporated into programs by developers. APIs are generally used by programs, not found in them. Program developers do not need to worry about infringing on copyrights though API calls because they only use the APIs, not include them in their code. The issue with Oracle and Google, as I understand it, is that they copied the Java environment APIs and incorporated them directly into the Android OS without a license. That being said, the reason Windows machines, and even my old Palm Treo, could run programs using Java APIs is because the programs run in Java Virtual Machine, which is supplied by Oracle. For free. If Google had only given Oracle the proper credit for their work, this issue may have been avoided. Those of us who run Windows machines have paid for the usage of the Windows APIs. Likewise, OSX users have paid for the usage of the OSX APIs. One could only wonder, though, how awesome Lindows could have been if APIs could be freely used as you all have eluded to in your discussion... Andy the Test Engineer	May move these up to Oracle segment
24		The World Series of IP cases felt more like Cricket, opening with 91 slides -All the code-copying, and gaming emails we've mentioned were featured. Arguments ran as expected Larry Page was the first witness, appearing by recorded video from his deposition. (8/24/2011) Focused on presentation "Must take license from Sun". Was it run by Andy Rubin? - gaming email Is Java a platform? Page: "platform is a term that is hazy in my mind." Many people might consider it a platform, is both a language and a platform. Larry Ellison followed on the witness stand in person When asked whether or not it is expensive to develop APIs, Ellison sighed and responded, "Arguably, it's one of the most difficult things we do at Oracle. Discussed licensing and stated Google was the only company he knew not taking a license, even a free license Is the Java language free? Ellison"I don't know" Ellison asked on stand if primary factor in acquiring Sun was smartphone business, Ellison said no. In deposition asked if Oracle acquired Java because interest in smartphone business and compete with Apple, Ellison said yes. PLayed video of June 2009 JavaOne where Ellison praised Sun, saying that it had done "a fantastic job" in opening up Java and giving it to the world.

82		TNT crew, I was watching episode 480 where you were talking about the Tupac performance at Coachella. It was quite interesting, to hear you talking about the content, and thought you might be interested in the tech behind the scenes. I worked for a staging company, that actually built the set for the event. While I was not involved with the making of the content, I can tell you about the setup. It is called a "peppers ghost" gag and was actually invented in the 1800's. Here is the link to the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper's_ghost). It is basically the same technique as modern teleprompters. The challenge at coachella was not just scaling up the size to people size, but also dealing with the outdoor conditions. There were 3 projectors used that had to sync up, and chain motors flew a giant aluminum and steel structure, that framed out the performance area for Tupac, away from view when the gag was not being used. There was actually quite a lot of wind, blowing the projectors around, so if you look closely at the video you can see Tupac moon walking a little. Also important to note, the structure was designed partially while listening to your show. So there you have it. TNT to Tupac in less then 7 steps. Love the show. James from Long Beach

14		- FCC has dropped its investigation of Google's collection of WiFi "payload data" as part of the company's Street View project, but has slapped the company with a $25,000 fine for obstructing its investigation. - An investigation by the Federal Trade Commission was dropped in October of 2010 - In a notice dated April 13, released in a partially redacted form (PDF) on April 15 by the FCC, the commission claimed, "For many months, Google deliberately impeded the (FCC Enforcement) Bureau's investigation by failing to respond to requests for material information and to provide certifications and verifications of its responses." - "As the FCC notes in their report, we provided all the materials the regulators felt they needed to conclude their investigation and we were not found to have violated any laws," the company said in a statement. "We disagree with the FCC's characterization of our cooperation in their investigation and will be filing a response." - -	“Although a world leader in digital search capability, Google took the position that searching its employees’ e-mail ‘would be a time-consuming and burdensome task,’ ” the report said. The commission also noted that Google stymied its efforts to learn more about the data collection because its main architect, an engineer who was not identified, had invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

25		Judge Alsup's calendar	http://cand.uscourts.gov/CEO/cfd.aspx?7137
26		- Oracle is claiming about $1bn (£630m) in compensation for Android violating IP rights although those estimates has dropped as filings have flown. They hover around 32.3 (minimum - Oracle)-37.5 (Percentage - Google) Million dollars now. Mostly copyright infringement but two patent violation claims as well. - Java itself is free to use without a license: At issue is Android's use of 37 APIs (application programming interfaces) which allow developers to write Java-compatible code and 11 Java source code files. Oracle alleges that 103,400 lines of its API specifications appeared on Android's developer website. - "If Oracle wins the case and APIs are held to be copyrighted, then in theory, virtually every application - on Android, Mac OS, Windows, iPhone or any other platform - has to be at least re-released under new licence terms," Dan Crow, CTO Songkick told BBC - Google argues a programming language is not copyrightable "A given set of statements or instructions may be protected, but the protection does not extend to the method of operation or system—the programming language—by which they are understood by the computer," -- and therefore neither is an API -"Without the APIs, the Java programming language is deaf, dumb and blind," its lawyers have claimed. "In addition, witnesses at trial will testify that developers expect the APIs to be available when they program in the Java programming language." - Of the two patents remaining, one covering a type of compiler and interpreter has been preliminarily rejected by the USPTO's re-examination. - Jury selection begins today with trial commencing later today or tomorrow	"Because Android exploits Java but is not fully compatible with it, Android represents Sun's, and now Oracle's, nightmare: an incompatible forking of the Java platform, which undermines the fundamental 'write once, run anywhere' premise of Java that is so critical to its value and appeal."

(Backdoor.OSX.SabPub.a.) - It's an APT variant of a previously identified worm that targets employees of several pro-Tibetan non-governmental organizations. It hijacked machines without requiring the user to type an administrative password. - A March version of Sabpub also discovered last weekend exploits the same drive-by Java vulnerability seen in Flashback, one of the biggest botnet attacks seen in OS X. - "SabPub is different from MaControl, another bot used in APT attacks in February 2012," Costin Raiu of KAspersky wrote. "SabPub was more effective because it stayed undetected for more than 1.5 months." - -

84		Dear Tom, On TNT479 you were discussing the "collusion" case against publishers, Apple, etc. My biggest gripe with publishers is their continued insistence on having differing release dates for books in different parts of the world. In particular I'm sick and tired of trying to buy Audible books online only to get the dreaded message "not available for purchase in your area." Then there's the other problem where for example Faye Kellerman's latest book was advertised and I purchased it through Audible under the US title "Gun Games", then saw another similar title "Blood Games" for sale with a different enough description that it could have been a new book, bought this too. It was soon obvious it was the same book and Audible quickly refunded my credit/money. I don't understand why ebooks or any books need this "Protection" in this day and age. Why are they insisting on killing trees? Trevor Collins Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia.

26		"Hey TNT crew, I have some thoughts on the recent talk about the DOJ's case against publishers that you discussed in episode 477. A friend of mine spent some time working for one of the publishers accused in the case, and she insists that the accused collusion was a necessary evil to combat Amazon's business model. However, my personal belief is that there needs to be a paradigm shift in the monetization of books. I've seen several people compare this case to when music transitioned into digital - musicians can't monetize their music via selling CD's so they have to make money in other ways, usually by selling merchandise and touring. Two thoughts that come to mind are ad supported ebooks, which I personally think people might find annoying, but could be a source of profit for authors, or a spotify-esque service provided by the publishers. For some monthly fee, you get access to some number of ebooks from a publisher's catalogue. This may allow for publishers and authors to still make money from writing, yet still allow for Amazon to price books cheaply for consumers. There may even be other ideas for monetization that require thinking outside the box, I just feel like publishers aren't trying to do that and are instead clutching to a dying industry. Thanks guys and keep up the good work. Matt From Lawrence, KS"
27		- Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr told several news outlets: "The DOJ's accusation of collusion against Apple is simply not true. The launch of the iBookstore in 2010 fostered innovation and competition, breaking Amazon's monopolistic grip on the publishing industry." - "just as we've allowed developers to set prices on the App Store, publishers set prices on the iBookstore." - - - - - -

37		- On Thursday, remote desktop software maker Splashtop is opening up its new iOS app, the rather clunkily named Win8 Metro Testbed, which will allow app developers to test their apps before the official launch in a Windows 8 environment on an iPad. - The regular price is $49.99, though it will be discounted for a limited time at $24.99. . Expensive for an app, cheaper than buying a Windows 7 tablet - It's the Splashtop VNC built specifically for Win8. The app gives Windows 8 full run of your iPad's screen except for a small icon in the lower right. Tap it once, and a virtual keyboard pops up. Tap it twice, and a Splashtop toolbar appears with options to access the Hints Control Bar, enable a mouse cursor, lock the screen rotation, display navigation keys, and sever the connection. - IN BEIJING: Intel lined out two Windows 8 tablet designs implementing Clover Trail - -	Microsoft today announced that it is looking for volunteers to join its invite-only feedback program for active Windows 7 and Windows 8 Consumer Preview users in the U.S. In return for providing feedback to Microsoft – both by sending the company data or by filling out surveys – participants who stay in the program for more than four months will be eligible for “free software and Xbox games such as Microsoft Office 20120, Kinect Disneyland, and Forza Motorsport 4.”

44		- 4 BIlls proposed in Congress, but CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) by Rep. Mike Rogers getting the most attention. - It focuses on facilitating information sharing, both between the government and the private sector, and between private network operators. It exempts "cyber-security" information-sharing from other legal restrictions, and it immunizes network providers from liability for failing to act on information they receive under the provisions of the act. - By granting firms who share information broad immunity from other provisions of law, Congress may be effectively changing any number of other statutes. - Dempsey: This is about government monitoring. [SOPA] is about the First amendment, [CISPA] is about the Fourth, but they both take a legitimate problem and try to tackle it with an overbroad solution." - Rogers argument is that the government has info than can help private companies stop hackers but it's confidential and so illegal to share. CISPa would make it legal. But it also make it legal for the companies to share info, voluntarily, back with the government. - The bill doesn't technically require companies to share data with the government, but it also doesn't require the government to share cybersecurity secrets with the companies. - EFF worries that the language allows private companies to share data with anyone even other private companies in the name of cybersecurity. That's where the SOPA comparisons come in.	The term ‘cybersecurity purpose’ means the purpose of ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of, or safeguarding, a system or network, including protecting a system or network from–‘(A) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or ‘(B) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information.	Ars Technica asked Jim Dempsey of the Center for Democracy and Technology to evaluate: "If you're being attacked, either in the real world or the cyber world, you're always permitted to disclose that information to the government," "---- He suggested Congress should update wiretapping law to make it clear that service providers are allowed to share information about attacks with one another.

48		- yesterday Cnet profiled Nicolas Merrill, who's raising $$ to launch a national "non-profit telecommunications provider dedicated to privacy, using ubiquitous encryption" that will sell both mobile phone & Internet service. - Idea is to resell wireless service like 4G WiMax broadband, and add end-to-end encryption for browsing & encrypted e-mail. If there's a legal court order, Calyx couldn't help. "The idea that we are working on is to not be capable of complying," Merrill says. - story got picked up by Reddit and donations are now at $45k of $1M goal. 63 days left. - travel grant from the Ford Foundation, Merrill is heading to the San Francisco Bay Area later this month to meet with venture capitalists and individual angel investors.	- Merrill: The Calyx Institute is named after my former Internet Service Provider (Calyx Internet Access) which I started in NYC in 1994, and which became the plaintiff in the original challenge against the constitutionality of National Security Letters in the USA Patriot Act ". In Feb 2004, the FBI sent Merrill a secret "national security letter" (not an actual court order signed by a judge) asking for confidential information about his customers and forbidding him from disclosing the letter's existence. He enlisted the ACLU to fight the gag order and won. A federal judge barred the FBI from invoking that portion of the law, saying it was "an "unconstitutional prior restraint of speech in violation of the First Amendment." - Merrill's identity was kept confidential for years during litigation. In 2007, the Washington Post published his anonymous op-ed which said: "I resent being conscripted as a secret informer for the government," especially because "I have doubts about the legitimacy of the underlying investigation." He wasn't able to discuss his case publicly until 2010.

83		Hey guys, love the show. The manufactured story of the week seems to be the outrage over white space on the new Google+ page. It got me thinking, is there really more white space than any other website? So I did some measuring. I have a 1920x1080 display, so I do get a lot of white space, but it turns out the big block of white space on the right side of Google+ is about 650px by 770px or 500,500 square pixels. Compare that two Facebook white has two blocks of white space, the left one measuring 380x900px and the left 500x900 pixels for a combined 792,000 square pixels. So Facebook actually has more white space. I think the whole problem would be fixed if Google would just centered the content between the left pane and the chat section, like the image attached. Just my two cents. Thanks! -- Jacob Bodnar	http://i.minus.com/ioDIzNpB52vTM.jpg

15		- The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has advised retailers to raise any concerns related to the local market, according to the Financial Review. - The commission declined to say whether there is an ongoing investigation - Penguin Group chairman John Makinson has released a similar statement, and says that the DOJ's complaint "contains a number of material misstatements and omissions, which we look forward to having the opportunity to correct in court." - Tim Coates, former managing director of WH Smith and Waterstones, and founder of e-books sales and lending site Bilbary, told the BBC's Today programme's Simon Jack that he thought the US government had "a very strong case" against Apple. - CNET: The Department of Justice "has a far better case against the publishers than Apple," says Dominick Armentano, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Hartford - CNET: Richard Epstein, the prolific legal scholar and professor of law at New York University, goes further. Epstein argues in an essay published yesterday that there are "difficulties" with the Justice Department's case against publishers as well: "It will take some time to hear the whole story, but the betting here is that this lawsuit is a mistake."------"I'm not saying that Apple can smile and walk away from this," says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the University of Notre Dame. "It's just that the government will have to show that Apple had some kind of involvement in the original arrangement."	---- This lawsuit is stupid. How can you say that publishers colluded in changing to a pricing model that allows them to sell products for whatever they choose? It's not like they decided to set the price of e-books to $20. They decided based upon discussions with a merchant that they preferred being able to set the price of any given title to a value they think is appropriate. You can argue that this raised prices for the consumer. In many cases it probably did, but this is pure supply and demand. If a merchant raises a price, fewer people will buy it. If a consumer thinks the price is too high, they can choose not to buy it. In Amazon's model there were many publishers who were slow to release titles because they didn't think the price they were earning was worth it. Having low prices comes at the expense of number of titles. There are trade offs for all of this, and the market does a pretty good job sorting things out. The government gets into this stuff to "protect consumers", but protection is often a very limited scope that pretty much makes price the top concern with no regard to anything else. This is a political decision that is used because it sells well to consumers who think of nothing but what they pay. -- Mike

They are retreads — already invented by others years before …”	- Honeywell claims: you infringed our patents, you even have Honeywell thermostats in your offices! - Nest says was aware of Honeywell's contributions to the thermostat industry - Patents in question: Remotely controlling temperature set-point marks, displaying temperature set points on an LCD inside a rotating ring, and presenting a user of an HVAC controller with “complete grammatical sentences” — are either indistinguishable from earlier Honeywell patents or aren’t worthy of a patent.

79		Greetings Twit Group, In episode #475, you had a discussion about smart phones being stolen and your wish for remote wipe. As it turns out, the Windows Phone has the ability to remotely find, ring, lock, and erase the Windows Phone. All you need to do is go to the www.windowsphone.com web site, click the "My Phone" link, and select one of the options on the left hand side. Have a great day! Rick	You said you wished there was a way to remotely wipe the data on your android phones, you can. You have to download an app called lookout mobile security. It backs up contacts, and is an anti virus and if you pay monthly you can back up pics and remote wipe your device. -Alex

I am a 65 year old man but do not have particularly poor eye sight and would still like a larger tablet, especially if ran windows (millions of applications) and was not limited like the iPad. I paid $699 for my current tablet last year and would pay the same or more for a larger tablet with newer tech. Sandy Oliver

83		Hey Twit team, Loved the show today, but I have a second perspective on your Central IMEI Database story from today: Have you considered the possible repercussions that a centralized IMEI database may have on the second-hand phone market? Such a database may have a chilling effect on second-hand buyers of mobile devices. Perhaps there is a secondary motive behind this effort to establish such a database. Worth a discussion.

Ideally, this makes the stolen phone virtually useless and drastically reduces resale value. - Carriers will start their own databases within six months. Those will then be combined into a centralized list over the following 18 months. Small regional wireless carriers are expected to join the initiative within two years. - UK, Germany, France, and Australia have similar programs and it has lowered, though not eliminated the theft - In the US, electronics have recently begun surpassing cash as the most stolen property. - Also working to write legislation that would make it a federal crime to tamper with a phone’s unique identifiers

But the developers will always earn 70% of the list price or what they wanted to charge for it - QUOTE Amazon appstore’s director Aaron Rubenson: “We’re just following the paradigm that’s out there with the 70-30 spli. This is a little bit different from the revenue share that we have for paid app sales. We looked at each purchase case separately.” - Amazon isn’t mandating that developers only use the company’s in-app purchasing service. - Google’s in-app purchasing technology won’t work on the Kindle Fire, devs must use Amazon’s system. But on other tablets and phones, devs can use any number of in-app purchasing systems.	- appstore launched last year, developers would either earn 20% of what they wanted to charge or 70% of whatever Amazon charged — whatever was higher. - app store up to around 34,000 apps - Report by Flurry that measure revenue per user over a 45-day period, from mid-January through the end of February 2012: the average revenue/user from Amazon’s store is about 89% of what Apple iOS platform produces. Google's at 23% of iOS. Amazon’s userbase is still much smaller than Google Play's.

75		Hey TNT, On the topic of iPad becoming a generic term for tablets, Sarah didn't think that someone would refer to an android tablet as an iPad, unfortunately people do and it's worse than you think. When the first android tablets started to appear I heard more than one mainstream news outlet refer to the Galaxy tab as "Samsung's new iPad". I even recall some news outlets saying the same thing about the RIM playbook when it was released which is way more recent than the Galaxy tab. I'm sure it happens way more often than you might think so I think it is entirely possible that this could happen as frustrating as that sounds, maybe taking away the iPad numbering system isn't a good idea afterall. Oh, also my daughter who is almost two refers to the attached image as her iPad. It is an apple though, she's at least on the right track so I'll cut her a little slack. Keep up the great work. Listening to your show is one of my favourite parts of the day. Tyler	We received several emails like this saying HP Touchpads and Samsung Galaxy Tabs and even a Kindle Touch were being called iPads by others. One person said his girlfriend kept calling his Galaxy Nexus an iPhone.

ATD says it's Netscape. - MS will buy the underlying patents for the old browser, but AOL will hang onto the brand CNet: - Thinks the deal covers Mapquest IP (Mapquest was bought by AOL in 1999 for $1.1B) - (that should be true, but which batch is the Mapquest IP in, the retained AOL or the purchased ones? Either way, MS has a license) Envision IP, a firm that analyzed AOL’s patent portfolio late last month, says the bulk of the patents Microsoft is buying or licensing cover things like online communications and messaging.

87		Hi TNT Crew, I’d like to share a thought about an application or Google Glasses. I recently did an eight-year stint volunteering for a non-profit that provided day care for seniors with Alzheimer’s. It would seem to me that Google glasses married with facial recognition software would be a great benefit to people with memory disabilities. Name and relationship prompting would be a huge benefit to a memory disabled person. As well as such basic reminders of, date, year, time of day, and where there are. “It is April 9, 2012. The person looking at your is your son Bob. You are in in Bob’s house, which is in the city of…” You get the idea. The current generation of seniors might not be able to adapt to technology like Google glasses, but people of the TNT crew’s generation would probably adapt well to Google Glasses prompts should they need them as they age. Love the show, John Heitmuller Glen Allen, VA

He said the tech and entertainment industries need to come together to work on a new solution and those conversations are beginning. SOPA is gone.

73		In TNT 473 you discussed the ME3 expanded ending and how re-doing an ending could probably not be done for films. I do not know if it is still done, but there was a time when Hollywood studios would pre-screen a film using test audiences and make changes based on the feedback (essentially doing a beta-test). Given the costs of making a film, this is a sensible and practical way of maximizing the ROI. All of that being said, I know of one instance back in the early-to-mid 1960's where a studio deliberately shot two separate endings for a movie and released both versions simultaneously. There was a notice at the beginning of the movie telling the audience not to reveal the ending; this was because when you went to the theatre to see the movie you had absolutely no idea which ending you were going to see. Enjoy the show and keep up the good work. -- Ed. Hillman in Virginia Signature?!? I don't need no stinking signature!!

15		- The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan today reversed a lower court’s decision to throw out the case before trial. - "A reasonable jury could find that YouTube had actual knowledge or awareness of specific infringing activity on its website,” a two-judge panel said in a 39-page decision. - The Second Circuit notes that internal emails suggest that YouTube employees may have known about—and turned a blind eye to—specific cases of infringement on YouTube. - Now the case goes back to the lower-court to find out if YT founders kew of specific infringing content & failed to delete promptly. If they had "actual knowledge" YT could no longer qualify for the safe harbor and there's trouble.	Litigation History: - 2010, US DCt: YouTube wins a summary judgment (case tossed) and was protected under the DMCA safe harbor - YT had insufficient notice of the particular infringements and b/c it removed the offending videos when notified. - Mere knowledge of [the] prevalence of such activity in general,” the District Court concluded, “is not enough.

Report says how long your heating system was cooling or heating your home, and includes activity by day view. - New feature AirWave can cool your home to a target temp running the A/C less. The system can intelligently turn off cooling, but continue to run fans that push out cool air remaining in your vents and in the air conditioner’s coils BEFORE reaching target temp (other therms can't do this). Nest says this will work for 50% users, some don't have A/C, some live in climates that are too humid. - Easier installation with improved backplate, something Nest owners had complained about. larger press connectors, new custom screws.	Marketing Lead Maxime Veron says if you noticed that your A/C kicked in while you were away at work, you could tweak the system to avoid that. Veron tells me that a one degree change could mean up to 5% in energy savings. - $249, available online & at Best Buy - Co-founded by some of the brains behind the iPod, Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers - company is currently facing a lawsuit from Honeywell, which claims that the smart thermostat violates its patents.

76		Tom and Posse, I find it a little odd that in the reviews of the Lumia 900 people have been disappointed that Nokia didn't put in the "latest and greatest" technology, this was echoed by Iyaz on yesterday's show. Its my understanding that Windows Phone 7 runs on very specific hardware; there is no code base to support higher resolutions, multiple cores, more than 512mb ram or crazy camera optics (41-megapixels anyone). While Nokia supposedly has more latitude to customize WP7, I don't think they have the access, resources or time to rewrite the operating system to support even one of these features (of course this raises the question of what Nokia can offer to the platform other than from a design perspective). Not to say people can't complain about the hardware on the Lumia 900 and reviews are appropriate to point out this is a deficiency compared to other platforms, but I think the blame should be focused more on Microsoft than Nokia for not being on the cutting edge.

78		I wanted to clarify a couple things about the terrafugia flying car spoken about on TNT. It is being certified as a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) which is a relatively new class of aircraft, only a few years old. They are limited to 120 mph top speed, gross weight of 1320 lbs. and can only carry 2 people. There are some other limitations as well that I don't remember off the top of my head at the moment. With the LSA's there came a new pilot rating called sport pilot, while the requirements are less than what are required for getting your private pilots license a sport pilot is limited in the size and speed of aircraft they can fly to the Light Sport category. They also have to get supplemental training to be able to fly into the busiest airports and cannot fly at night. It has allowed more people to learn how to fly as it significantly reduces the cost of learning to fly. Sport pilots have been flying for several years now and the accident rate is no different than the pilot population at large. Another thing I wanted to address is that flying is not just for the wealthy, there are a lot of flying clubs and partnerships that make flying accessible to most in the middle class. I bought an older used plane for $18,000 and enjoy flying it very much. I got my private pilots license a few years ago for about $3000. If you shop around and inquire at some of the smaller airports there are very affordable ways to get into the sky and enjoy the incredible views, utility, and fun that small aircraft offer. It is truly like nothing else you can do. Thanks for a great daily podcast! -Sam Butler Oregon

47		- New York Auto Show started today, Fisker Automotive unveiled the Atlantic, its affordable luxury electric car. 4-door sedan for $50k. Formerly known as Project Nina, this is Fisker's attempt to get a realistically priced car in consumer's hands. - 2nd vehicle for California-based Fisker. 1st was Karma, released in 2008 for $108k. Both are plug-in hybrids, gasoline & electric power-based. Both tout extended-range travel using only electric power. - Fisker is still choosing where to build the cars, depending on the investor. Has taken $1B from private sources but needs more $ to build the Atlantic since a Department of Energy loan was frozen after Fisker didn't meet production milestones says CEO Tom LaSorda (formerly CEO at Chrysler). When they were still counting on the loan they were set to start prod. in a Delaware plant this summer.	- Karma reviews are mixed. Consumer Reports tested the Karma earlier this year & wouldn't start due to production glitch in batteries. Customers have complained the weight takes away from performance. The company expects to sell about 4,000 Karmas worldwide this year.

It's similar to the Android version of Firefox but already supports a few Metro-specific enhancements, like the Metro “snap” feature, which allows you to “snap” another Metro app to Firefox so you can view both side by side.	http://www.brianbondy.com/blog/id/135/

81		You were discussing recently that the number of computers using Window XP increased. Well, I wonder if the increase in Windows XP is because Windows 7 has an XP mode built in. I for one just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 at work and run several XP virtual machines for very specific uses. If you were to just count my machine you would see one new Windows 7 install and four new Windows XP installs. There are several machines in our building that do this. - Jay in Ohio

22		- The network intrusion that hit Global Payments was confined to its North American operations and "exported" data for about 1.5 million holders, the credit card payments processor said Sunday evening. - The exported information included Track 2 data. Cardholder names, addresses, and social security numbers were out of reach of the attackers, the statement added. So no ability to clone cards. - In a conference call on the morning of April 2, Global Payments CEO Paul Garcia revealed that Visa has dropped the company from its registry of providers that meet the PCI credit card processing security standards. - Garcia reiterated the breach had been "absolutely contained," and said that he expects Visa will reinstate Global Payments to its registry once the company demonstrates it is in PCI compliance. - The breach itself was limited to a "handful" of servers in Global Payments' payment processing center, and did not involve any other parthers, - working with third parties, regulators, and law enforcement to assist in the efforts to minimize potential cardholder impact. Was self-discovered and self-reported.

76		Hey y'all I was talking to a friend of mine who lives in MS and uses Cspire for his cell phone carrier. Cpsire is a regional carrier that is popular in MS, AL, and Floribama. He was telling me that they are going to start charging a separate fee on top of data for streaming data i.e. Pandora, netflix, etc. I about fell out of my chair when I heard this. I'm sure this will ruffle Tom's feathers as I've heard his soap box about net neutrality and data is data. I sure hope this isn't going to be a trend. This is probably related to them getting iPhone soon. Makes me grateful for being on an unlimited Sprint plan, even if I can't get a 4G signal at the light rail station in front of the largest hospital in UT. Thanks for providing such a great show.

78		Hi TNT Crew, You've probably heard about the UK Government's plans to introduce monitoring on innocent UK citizens: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/01/government-email-social-network-surveillance?newsfeed=true We are a small service provider hosting virtual servers to customers throughout the world. Civil Liberty issues aside, how is this going to work for the small providers like us? Have the government considered that many people/businesses host their own email servers? Do we have to monitor our customer's email servers, even though we are not hosting an email service for them? Also, how do we do this, and where is the money coming from? Have they consulted with industry on the matter? Since the internet is an "open" system (i.e. anybody can plug a cable in and go), there are many other technical issues that need to be considered outside of the standard cable/DSL "ISP" context, as small providers like us will loose out otherwise! Love the show guys, keep up the good work Cheers Jonny from Northern Ireland	http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/01/government-email-social-network-surveillance?newsfeed=true

Some outlets misinterpreted these comments to mean RIM was abandoning the consumer market. - At one point during the call, he said that a sale of the company would be the absolute last resort, though later he hinted that the idea had certainly crossed the board's collective mind.

72		Hi TNT gang, Excuse my selfishness -- I intended to give Alan the last word in the HTML5 debate, but the discussion raised some very salient questions and I just couldn't miss the possibility of perhaps putting them to a group of regular users like the TNT audience and chat room... UI geeks sometimes refer to the 'look and feel' of a user interface. As we all know, the web destroyed notions of a standardised 'look', so modern toolkits like Android, XUL (Zool), and JavaFX are highly styleable just like HTML. But what about 'feel'? If web apps are to rely on rival UI toolkits instead of a standard, things like touch gestures may vary across apps, reflecting the nuances of each underlying toolkit. The $64,000 question is: do you guys actually care? iOS developers can style their UI, but familiar controls (physical and screen) must behave largely as expected -- yet some say this is too limiting, so where should the future lie? Talk of standards and toolkits may bore people, but I implore end users not to let computer scientists build the future for you; let us know what matters, so the tools and standards of today will give you the apps you want tomorrow. Okay, I'm going to shut up now :) Simon (Liverpool, UK)

15		- Could it be the Westphalia of our times? Bloomberg suggests that Apple and Samsung's top leadership could be looking to strike a settlement. - "People familiar with the situation, however, note that top-level executives at both Apple and Samsung have communicated lately about potential settlement options," the report today says. - "Apple CEO Tim Cook does not seem to share his predecessor's passion about laying all foes to waste," it adds. "Cook appears to view litigation as a necessary evil, not a vehicle of cosmic revenge." - Meanwhile Tim Cook is still playing Nixon and going to China. - He visited Foxconn Technology Group’s newly built manufacturing facility for the iPhone in Zhengzhou, China, as the U.S. company seeks to improve working conditions. - Cook's visit marks the first time an Apple CEO has visited an actual production plant - The Fair Labor Association has released its findings from the lengthy investigation of working conditions at Foxconn's Chinese plants where Apple products are made.	The watchdog found that in the last year all three factories violated not just FLA code for hours worked, but Chinese legal limits of 36 hours of overtime per month. During peak periods, employees worked more than 60 hours a week on average and many more than seven days in a row. ---Foxconn has agreed to meet FLA and Chinese legal codes by July of 2013, including cutting the number of monthly overtime hours from 80 to 36. To compensate for the lost work hours the manufacturer will boost wages and plans to hire thousands of new workers to help maintain current production levels. A concerted effort is also planned to improve the safety and health conditions at the plants and their accompanying dormitories.

20		- Reports are surfacing today that Google only generated about $550 million from Android since 2008, and that it earns far less from Android devices than it does from Apple handsets - coming from a recent Google court filing that offers Oracle a percentage of Android revenue as patent damages, in which the $550 million figure is extrapolated from a percentage of total revenue it's willing to pay (0.5% + 0.015% of revenue, or $2.8 million) - TC Sottek at The Verge notes t's likely that the company is minimizing the revenue for damages as a defendant. In this case, Google is looking at a small portion of the app or ad revenue and not giving the patents Oracle is complaining about credit for all of it - And Chris O'Brien from SiliconBeat points out Google pays to be the default search engine on Apple’s Safari browser. Again, we don’t know how much. But imagine for a moment, as I wrote a couple weeks ago, if Apple and iOS had the same marketshare as the iPad. How much more would Google have to pay for that spot? - -

78		If you've mentioned this, don't worry about it, but I wrote a post over at http://churchm.ag/is-hollywood-getting-it/ that I thought you guys might be interested in. Here's the back story. A couple of days ago I noticed the new "Play" category in the google bar. After poking around, I notice that "Dark Tide" was available for rent and said "see it before theatres" on the cover. I did some digging and found that it's coming out in early April, so this kinda surprised me since this isn't a "direct to video" horror flick, but one with some well-known stars (Halle Berry is an Oscar winning actor after all). What do you all think? Is this the beginning of a new model where they rent new movies for $9.99 (cheaper than two tickets to the theater), DVD/BluRay releases for $2.99-$3.99, and put old stuff on Amazon, Google, HuluPlus, Netflix, etc.? I hope so. BTW, quick plug. My book "Podcasting Church" will be free on Kindle on 4/1 and 4/2 (not an April Fools Joke). I'd love a mention although that's not necessary at all. Love the show.

80		(If you guys read this on-air, I humbly request that Sarah intro the segment with "HTML5 Wars" in the same manner as the Patent Wars intros) Hey guys, I think Simon and I are in agreement, that HTML likes to keep it simple with basic text boxes, buttons, and checkboxes. I will point out that HTML5 does introduce some new controls for mobile which are more subtle, like date inputs (http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/input.date.html#input.date) and number inputs (http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/input.range.html#input.range). But since UI standards move fast, I'd argue that what HTML has kept are the right building blocks while leaving the rest up to developers. Case in point: between Windows 8 Metro, OSX Lion, iOS and ICS (and Ubuntu, and ChromeOS, etc.), the "standard" toolbars and menus and folder trees with their little [+] buttons have been going out of style, in favor of simple search boxes, big buttons, and touch gestures. It's actually great that we get this kind of organic evolution of the interface, so I'm definitely in favor of "less is more". -- Allen

76		Hi all, Quick response to Alan's comments in TNT #466: Alan is entirely correct to note all novel UIs 'roll their own' controls or layouts for things standard toolkits don't provide; but HTML5 lacks a standard UI toolkit to begin with, aside from the form element originating in HTML 1. As such HTML developers 'roll their own' for bits of UI that have been staples of other platforms since the 1980s -- menus, toolbars, tree lists, grid layouts, to name but a few. With a web app like GMail or Google Docs you're not seeing a few custom controls complimenting a standard HTML core, but oodles and oodles of JavaScript manufacturing an entire toolkit from very nearly nothing. Thankfully many toolkits are available as open source, but shouldn't HTML define common controls and layouts out of the box, like rival app platforms, instead of relying on browser specific JavaScript to replicate even basic functionality? To be fair to Alan, because I build complex visualisation controls I'm surely more deeply exposed to HTML5's limitations than the majority of developers who create web pages with a just few basic interactive element. But even so, there's a difference between adding an extension onto your house, and building the whole house... ;) I know W3C working groups are looking at self contained web 'widgets', but I'm not aware of any effort to define a W3C UI markup standard, like those of other modern app platforms (Microsoft's XAML, Flash's MXML, etc, etc.) Unless someone knows otherwise..? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface_markup_language Simon (Liverpool, UK)

Here is a link to a Carnegie Mellon research paper on the subject published a couple years ago. http://www.ftc.gov/os/comments/privacyroundtable/544506-00037.pdf Unfortunately, as the study found, many privacy policies are so complicated that even standardized labels can be difficult for the average user to decipher.

82		Hey guys, Listening to your Incoming tonight, Simon said that HTML5 couldn't keep up with native apps as it's still centered around documents and not UI elements. While that's technically true, pretty much all interesting UI in apps - web, mobile and desktop alike - build their own UIs. For example, Path's great icon menu was custom-built - and somebody ported it to CSS3 just a few days later! (http://lab.victorcoulon.fr/css/path-menu/) The truth is that no platform, whether it's governed by a standards body (like the web with W3C) or a company (like Apple with iOS) moves fast enough to keep up with UI conventions and innovations. This isn't just a mobile thing either: back when Microsoft introduced Office 2007 with its new Ribbon interface, that was something the Office team built which was not provided by Windows (and still isn't!). HTML5 does have some inherent limitations compared to native apps, but UI ain't one of them. -- Allen

86		Hi T.N.T. Crew, I work in engineering for a major cable company/ISP in Canada and wanted to mention why the exclusion [of Comcast's VOD traffic against your bandwidth cap] would make sense even in the face of congestion. The cost of routing data through the internal network is next to nothing, however routing traffic though foreign (external) networks is not, especially if you are on the far side of the route to the servers of a company like Netflix, which throws off the balance of peering arrangements that are in place. The idea of keeping both data, and revenue, in-house are reasons enough to make it an attractive solution... Not to mention when customers call about the video stream being poor, it's not about Netflix which we can usually do very little about, but we would be supporting our own potential service and connection troubles. **Additional sort-of related info FYI The Video on Demand server equipment is typically located in the "hub site" (analogous to a phone company's Central Office) which is also where the equipment that provides the modems connection (CMTS) resides as well. The "Nodes" (where the optical network converts to coaxial) is where the congestion primarily takes place. Tim in Canada

14		- FTC issued a 57-page report on privacy - calls for “privacy by design,” simplified choices and greater transparency. - FTC passed the report 3-1, with Commissioner J. Thomas Rosch dissenting for a few reasons, one of which was concern that the FTC is effectively mandating that Internet services will become “opt in” by design, even when that’s impractical or unnecessary. - asks Congress to enact a new law that "would provide consumers with access to information about them held by a data broker" - -	- Do Not Track: This is probably the furthest along. Browser vendors are now offering do-not-track options for consumers to limit data collection, the Digital Advertising Alliance is committed to respecting them, and standards bodies are working to standardize. - Mobile: The FTC wants to make mobile privacy protections “short, effective and accessible to consumers on small screens.” - Data Brokers: This is a bigger one. The FTC wants a centralized Web site where data brokers identify themselves and disclose how they collect data. It also supports Congress’s efforts to give consumers access to data about them held by brokers. - Comprehensive Tracking: The FTC is concerned about ISPs, operating systems, browsers and social networks comprehensively tracking users’ online activities, but it won’t address this until a public workshop in the second half of this year. - Enforcing Self-Regulatory Codes: The FTC said it will help enforce industry-specific codes of conduct.

Turns out Apple's doing some wooing of the European standards body ETSI, In a letter seen by Florian Müller, Apple committed to offering a royalty-free license to any of its patents deemed essential to it's nano-SIM standard.

Baidu currently holds 83% of China's search market, so a move like this is pretty much a nail in the coffin for any hopes Google has of making it as a company.	http://thenextweb.com/asia/2012/03/26/apple-tipped-to-further-distance-itself-from-google-with-the-inclusion-of-chinas-baidu-in-ios/

83		Tom, Sarah, Iyaz and Jason ... As someone whose job entails building visualisation components for the semantic web, I listened with interest to the apps versus HTML5 discussion of TNT #464. While Tom's comment about the historic swings between open and proprietary technologies rang true, sadly I'm not sure this necessarily applies to HTML5. Personally I don't see HTML5 is an 'app killer'; rather a first step towards web standards that might one day rival apps. Although touted as the future of app development, HTML5's key components are embryonic, and lack the sophistication of their Android or iOS counterparts. Worse, at its core HTML5 remains a document centric technology, dominated by concepts like paragraphs, margins and flowing text -- the W3C have failed to promote any user interface centric alternative (akin to Mozilla's XUL) that might standardise app-like widgets and layout managers for browsers. Sure, given amply quantities of patience and JavaScript one can work around these omissions; but the more workarounds one employs, the greater the likelihood of browser specific quirks. Sorry to be a pessimist, but I suspect we must wait for HTML6 to get a toolkit anywhere near current Android or iOS standards. Yes -- given sufficient effort it is possible to get 486 era games running within select browsers -- just don't expect an influx of Infinity Blade clones any time soon. ;) Simon (Liverpool, UK)

The next revision of the 'tenner' could be our last chance before coins and notes are retired (ironically due to technology Turing was the grandfather of).

76		Hey guys, I just spoke to 2 filmmakers who are in the end of a kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary about the Internet. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1472782999/war-for-the-web They are planning to explain how the net works before explaining some of the Net neutrality / SOPA PIPA / other big fights. I don't know if TWiT has a policy about covering stuff like this, but I would love to see it get funded (I gave some money personally) and I think many in the TWiT army may be interested in this project getting funded. Next week, they will release another animation of how they plan to explain packet-switching. They plan to explain nitty gritty details to demystify how it all works before talking about how important it is that it remain open.

78		Hey TNT In regards to the story about Microsoft restricting the use of company money to buy Apple products - this isn't the the first time I've heard of "Brand Wars" (cue graphic). AB has done this for years - the company would give a company credit card to the employee that was specifically for buying friends/family/strangers AB beers. Overhead at the bar "Hey I noticed you were drinking a Miller - the next Bud Light is on me". This isn't new and it's not like it will go away - the company wants the employees to promote their own products (even if they might be slightly inferior) as it keeps company morale up. Also if Tom didn't pick up on who AB is - I hereby revoke his StL Cardinal fanhood.....maybe

21		- More than 100 million of the 174 million stolen records Verizon tracked in 2011 were stolen by hacktivist groups, according to the authors of Verizon’s 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report - “Doubly concerning for many organizations and executives was that target selection by these groups didn’t follow the logical lines of who has money and/or valuable information. Enemies are even scarier when you can’t predict their behavior.” - Hacktivist groups focused on large, high-profile entities that had lots of data, whereas criminal groups have changed their focus in the last two years from large companies to smaller businesses that are less well-defended. - The report combines data from 855 incidents that involved more than 174 million compromised records, an explosion of data loss compared to last year’s 4 million records stolen. The increase is due largely to the massive breaches perpetrated by activists. - 96 percent — were not difficult to accomplish, suggesting they would have been avoidable if companies had implemented basic security measures. - Smaller companies are breached through vulnerabilities and brute force attacks, larger companies were breached through social engineering and phishing	Verizon took data from forensic investigations conducted by Verizon’s RISK Team, the United States Secret Service, the Dutch National High Tech Crime Unit, Australian Federal Police, Irish Reporting and Information Security Service, and the Police Central e-Crime Unit of the London Metropolitan Police.

He says this change would require every app to be redesigned and resized. - According to Krishna Sagar, a tipster writing to iDownload Blog, Apple is definitely working on a 4G LTE iPhone, and iOS 5.1 has the code to prove it.

43		- Financial Times' reported awhile back that that Apple is seeking to get its nano-SIM proposal approved over a competing proposal from Nokia, Motorola, and RIM - Next week, the ETSI (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) decides on the 4FF (Fourth form factor). Measuring approximately 12 millimeters by 9 millimeters, the new SIM will be about 30 percent smaller than the micro-SIM. The thickness of the cards has been reduced by about 15 percent, according to Giesecke & Devrient. The nano-SIM is also approximately 60 percent smaller than traditional-size SIM cards." - Nokia objects to Apple's design: Apple's proposed card is the same length as the width of current micro SIMs and so would risk jamming, leading to card and product damage. - when combined with the associated mechanics needed in the phone, we don't believe it represents a significant reduction in size. - Our option allows for more design options for the type of card reader. - Nokia's total nano-SIM package (including phone components) is smaller and doesn't require a tray. We'd previously heard from the FT report that Apple's proposal would require a drawer of some sort, and this seems to back that up.

He added he is trying to "accept the criticism and feedback with humility," and said the development team is listening to that feedback while creating new content for the game. - - - -	Building on their research, Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey.

25		- U.S. Senator Herb Kohl speaking at a hearing today, urged regulators to ensure the deals don’t “reverse the historic gains in competition between phone and cable companies” over the past 15 years. Worried about a "truce" - Verizon in December announced a deal to pay $3.6 billion for unused airwaves from a consortium of cable companies, as well as to market each other's services. - The Justice Department and Federal Communications Commission are examining the deal, and a similar $315 million agreement between Verizon Wireless and Cox Communications - "We will need this spectrum in a number of significant markets by 2013, so there is no time to lose in making this spectrum available," said Randal Miltch, general counsel for Verizon, in his prepared remarks. - OTHER SPECTRUM NEWS : Dish's intention to start using 2GHz satellite spectrum for terrestrial cellular service is off to a strong start — it seems that the feds have made an initial push to get behind the conversion, which would move it from MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) to AWS (Advanced Wireless Service). - FCC has started to move on a longstanding effort to require some manner of 700MHz interoperability.	“The Verizon/Cable Deals: Harmless Collaboration or a Threat to Competition and Consumers?” It was held by the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights.

35		- Jarno Smeets, a.k.a. The Human BirdWings guy, supposedly taking off on self-built wings on a flight that he claimed spanned over 100 meters. - Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters yesterday laid out an explanation of how it could be plausible using modern tech: The video of Jarno Smeets' flight is cool, and I don't see evidence that it was faked. It seems reasonable to accomplish, and is something I have wanted to try for a long time. I am suspicious because there is not much detail shown of the actual machine, but that does not mean anything other than they don't show it all. - Gizmodo talked with Ryan Martin, the Technical Director at Industrial Light & Magic (George Lucas’ CGI guys), who was firmly of the mind that Smeets’ flight did not fall within the realm of the possible and was a fake, albeit an impressive one. - Rhett Allain is an Associate Professor of Physics at Southeastern Louisiana University analyzed background images and camera perspective and found no evidence of faking. - -	- Head doesn't move, even though arms are pumping. The head camera is too steady. - Hyneman: The flight itself is not as impressive as it may seem, given a bit of a headwind and or a very slight incline; running and gliding close to that height and distance might be possible without any flapping or motors. - - - -

This letter indicates the MPAA is keeping that option open.”	- Meanwhile TorrentFreak says there's a scam going on. A fake law firm claiming to represent Universal, Sony, EMI, and Paramount asking users of the now-defunct cyberlocker service Megaupload. - Playing on the fears of people who may have used the site for infringing purposes, the documents supporting the scam claim to be from legitimate-sounding German lawfirm “Dr. Kroner & Kollegen” of Munich. - The letter says the person could be subject to up to a 10,000 euro fine, but you could settle for only 147 euro

Although this is mostly true with HP, they did innovate with a product called MagCloud you may not have heard of. It lets anyone create a physical magazine and allows customers to buy a physical copy, which they print and send on demand. Quite disruptive, even if print is dying.

19		- Dutch site Tweakers.net ran GLBenchmark for 5 min on both iPad 2 and new iPad and the latter is 10 fahrenheit degrees hotter based on infrared camera data. New iPad reached 33.6 degrees centigrade (92.5 Fahrenheit), compared to 28.3 centigrade (82.9 Fahrenheit) with the iPad 2. - On heels of official word that 3M new iPads sold in 3 days - iPad slightly heavier, I've been resting it on my lap, lower left hand side definitely warmer - Retina display 4x pixels as iPad 2. GigaOM points out the new iPad also probably has “at least twice as many” LEDs for lighting the display, according to experts at DisplaySearch. The iPad 2 has 36 LEDs, so it’s possible that the heat-emitting culprit is the possibly 72 LEDs that light up that Retina screen. Graphics chip most likelly to blame based on left-hand corner concentration.	Apple's response to ATD via Trudy Muller in PR dept: "The new iPad delivers a stunning Retina display, A5X chip, support for 4G LTE plus 10 hours of battery life, all while operating well within our thermal specifications. If customers have any concerns they should contact AppleCare." - Spokesman for Consumer Reports James McQueen told Bloomberg it's too early to tell if this heat will affect their ultimate recommendation for the device. Preliminary test headline: "Our test finds new iPad hits 116 degrees while running games." DETAILS: When unplugged, the back of the new iPad reached temperatures as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit. It was only when plugged in that it hit 116 degrees. (after running Infinity Blade II for 45 min) - BGR says some of its readers claim they're getting the message ”the iPad needs to cool down,” and then shuts off. No specific citations.

Other platforms: 89% interested in iPhone, 88% in iPad The same study found that 39% of developers answered that Google's total assets (YT, Gmail, G+, Android) were more important to them than Facebook's social graph.

The company filed an amicus brief with the court saying Hotfile should be within the DMCA safe harbor - which insulates service providers from the actions of their users as long as Hotfile removed infringing content when notified. Google's got all kinds of experience with the DMCA thanks to that little YouTube thing it owns. The MPAA has asked the court to reject the brief.	http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/03/20/0053244/google-files-amicus-brief-in-hotfile-case-mpaa-requests-it-be-rejected

The company hasn't supported the codec due to its lack of openness and the codec is subject to patent royalty fees.

74		Hey TNT Crew, I do agree that the transition between Metro IE and desktop IE could be better but I feel like someone should come to Microsoft's defense on some of the Windows 8 UI. Changing UI and/or adding features presents the problem of having users getting used to the new setup. Case in point, the camera features in iOS 5 and pull down notifications in Android. The pull down notifications in Android aren't obvious to everyone. A friend of mine didn't realize it was there and my mother still doesn't understand what to do no matter how many times I explain it to her. Then there is the new camera features in iOS 5. I've shown 5 different iPhones users the double tap the home button to show the camera shortcut feature and that the volume up button is also the shutter button. That 1 is my favorite because people look at me as if I'm their own little personal messiah, especially the volume up button thing. The funny thing is, I don't own an iPhone and never have. I know these might not be apples to apples comparisons and I'm not a Microsoft fanboy trying to poo poo the other platforms. My point is changing UI and adding new features doesn't seem to be easy and with a little patience and a tech geek handy maybe, just maybe, things will work out. Love the show Steve in Chicago

39		- IE10 browser for Windows 8 will come in two flavors--one a streamlined, "Metro-style" program designed to resemble a smartphone or tablet app, the other a more standard desktop browser. - As Lance Whitney at CNET wrotes, this is both the good and the bad news - everyone who wants to use IE10 will have to choose which flavor they want--and could even end up switching from one to the other mid-task. - no menus, tabs, address bar, or other visual clues appear. Instead, the Web page takes up the full real estate of the browser. Right-clicking anywhere in the browser then reveals the address bar at the bottom and a space at the top where you can open a new page in a separate tab or close an existing page. - Clicking in the address bar displays a screen with Navigation tiles for frequently-used and pinned sites, so you can quickly open any site. - Hovering your mouse to the left or right of the screen displays arrow that can take you back or forward.	No plugins , so no flash or external password managers -- Accessing other options, such as printing a page or sharing it via e-mail, requires you to launch the separate Charms bar. ---- The two versions do share certain elements in common, such as a History list. --------This isn't a major surprise, but Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft is planning to finish up development on Windows 8 this summer, with the OS ready to ship on tablets and PCs in October.

Facebook group popped up over the weekend "to show Bioware that these petitioners and lawsuit harbingers are, in fact, a minority to all those who love the Mass Effect series and how it ended." - "some of our most passionate fans needed more closure, more answers, and more time to say goodbye to their stories. Hudson promised new content in the next year and said Bioware will "keep listening, because your insights and constructive feedback will help determine what that content should be.

81		Dear TNT crew, I am active in the conlanging community (including hosting a podcast about it), and while it's not really the main focus of what I am interested in, I see a lot of invented scripts and a few neographies for English. So, with that in mind, my initial reaction to Dotsies is that it is absolutely terrible. The idea of condensing writing might seem like a good idea at first, but natural language, in both written and spoken forms, has evolved built-in redundancies (which vary from language to language and script to script) in order to combat noise. For Dotsies, a flyspeck on my screen could easily change the reading of a character or -- in the font size of the example on the site, hide a good chunk of a word. Also, perceptual problems that commonly lead to dyslexia with natural writing systems would be exacerbated greatly when the only difference between five different characters is in the position of a single dot which itself comprises the entire character. The result is a script that is harder to read than Tengwar and not nearly as pretty. In short, Dotsies is a little too compressed to be at all useful, and honestly, I don't feel that screen real estate comes at that much of a premium. That said, it's not even the most extreme example of this sort of information-density stuff I've seen. Dotsies is essentially just a reskinning of the Latin alphabet. To see how this idea of maximum information density applied in the creation of a completely new language, I highly suggest John Quijada's Ithkuil: http://www.ithkuil.net/ (fair warning: not that you would try it, but I really don't think Ithkuil is at all learnable by human beings). Sincerely, George Corley (GAC in the chatroom)

24		- This American Life has retracted an episode that focused on working conditions inside a Foxconn iPad factory, calling the source material "partially fabricated." - The episode was partially based on the work of artist Mike Daisey, who apparently lied to fact-checkers. - Some of the lies were discovered during an interview with Daisey's Chinese translator, who disputed the facts as presented. - Daisey seems to argue his perspective was poetically true: "What I do is not journalism. The tools of the theater are not the same as the tools of journalism. For this reason, I regret that I allowed THIS AMERICAN LIFE to air an excerpt from my monologue. THIS AMERICAN LIFE is essentially a journalistic - not a theatrical - enterprise, and as such it operates under a different set of rules and expectations." - Fabricated a moment about n-Hexane poisoning which did not happen in Shenzen but in Suzhou 1,000 miles away --- also entirely fabricated a story of giving an iPad to a worker with a mangled hand. - A new episode of This American Life detailing the issues and what happened airs later today, with an MP3 of the broadcast available Sunday. Host Ira Glass is taking full responsibility for the error, saying that he's "horrified to have let something like this onto public radio."	actor, author, commenter, playwright ""MR. DAISEY AND THE APPLE FACTORY" His latest work, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, was called “the best new play of the year” by the Washington Post, and was recognized as one of the year’s best theater pieces by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, among others

36		- Wired magazine's James Bamford has a long and oft-time poetic article up about the Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. being built in Bluffdale, Utah - The article details the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program in AT&T and now Verizon offices. - William Binney was a senior NSA crypto-mathematician largely responsible for automating the agency’s worldwide eavesdropping network. - Binney left the NSA in late 2001, shortly after the agency launched its warrantless-wiretapping program. “They violated the Constitution setting it up,” he says bluntly. “But they didn’t care. They were going to do it anyway, and they were going to crucify anyone who stood in the way. When they started violating the Constitution, I couldn’t stay.” - The article also details efforts to break AES, and attributes secret work at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to that effort. -

41		- Tuesday, March 13th, Microsoft issued patch ms12-020 which addresses what it classifies as both a moderate and critical vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) - Vulnerability was cooperatively disclosed to Microsoft in November by Italian security researcher Luigi Auriemma - Microsoft figured the vulnerability would take independent researchers around a month to exploit independently, but then Auriemma's code was leaked - There are many cooks in the kitchen who could have leaked the code including 30+ partners, one of which pays researchers cash for code, though most have denied involvement. - RDP is used by millions of desktops and servers world wide for remote administration, potentially including ATMs and Point of Sale devices - This vulnerability is less effective against machines running Network Level Authentication (NLA) - Microsoft's patch is a one-click, no-reboot hot-fix that enables NLA as a workaround. Patch found at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-020	- A $1500 bounty for a working metasploit module has been posted to gun.io, a site metasploit founder H.D.

74		Hi TNT Crew, As a Canadian I also feel the pain expressed by Wil Harris on Epiosde 458 of no easy access to Kickstarter. To create a Kickstarter a project you have to be a US citizen and have a US checking account. It's my understanding that this is mostly due to the fact that credit card transactions and payment delivery for Kickstarter projects are processed through Amazon. There is an alternative to Kickstater for non-US folks called RocketHub at rockethub.com. It operates in much the same way with a few key and unfortunate differences. The biggest of these occurs when a project on RocketHub does not reach it's funding goal. Not only does the money still change hands (which is baffling) but in addition to the credit card processing fee of 4% RocketHub doubles their fee on failed projects from 4% to 8%. A non funded Kickstarter project has zero risk and no fees. It's no wonder that RocketHub doesn't have the popularity and success of Kickstarter. Come on Kickstarter, the rest of the world is waiting! As always, you guys do a great job on the show. Cheers from Halifax, Joel Duggan PS: It's worth noting that some international Kickstarter projects have been successful. They simply have a US partner involved in the project willing to participate.

76		Hey Guys, When talking about the Nokia Design Chief dedicating one third of his time to the Nokia tablet, Will Harris suggested that only one third of anyone's attention would result in a substandard product. I am an Industrial Design student and one of the most important parts of the creative and design process, is time away from your given project. Within the design cycle, it is known as "incubation". My lecturers have been know to pretty much insist that students step away from a project, especially when it is particularly taxing, and go to the pub for a beer or two. Heck, in some cases, the staff join us! So dedicating one third of ones time is probably the best amount to give in order to make the best design decisions. Just a thought, especially for Liquid Friday. Nice to hear some design related chat on the show. As I said before, see you at the end of May! Fred From Glasgow, Scotland

78		Hey TNT crew. I just finished listening to episode 458 where you talked about the laser un-printer. I work for a company that services & repairs laser printers and the talk about reusing "cleaned" paper made me cringe a little. The more times a sheet of paper is used, the more likely it is to jam somewhere in a printer. Factors that include static, moisture, physical damage and general wear and tear on the paper can cause major headaches. I'm also sure that everyone can think of at least one person who would forget about an errant staple or paper clip that would make a costly call to us necessary. So in short, new paper good, used paper bad. Just make sure to stick the old stuff in the recycle bin. Keep up the good work. Sean, Apple Valley, MN

12		iPhone Finally Gets Better E-Mail Option With Sparrow	http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/03/sparrow-iphone-email/
13		- The app offers a unique UI as well as compatibility with most IMAP accounts. But because of Apple's limits on background-processing APIs, the first version of Sparrow shipped without push notifications for new e-mails, which will undoubtedly limit its appeal as a true Mail alternative. - Ars spoke to developers Dominique Leca and Dihn Viêt Hoà to find out why push e-mail isn't supported. To use standard push notifications, Sparrow would have to store user names and e-mail addresses for each user's account on a remote server. That server would then check for new mail and send a push notification to a user's device. - "We used the VoIP API to put Sparrow in the background while keeping a network connection open to the server," Dihn told Ars. "Sparrow is then 'suspended,' which means it will not use any CPU cycles. iOS will take care of the persistent connection, and it won't use much battery since nothing will be going back or forth on the network," he explained. - - -

76		Hey TNT, I am writing to you because I want to bring up a concern I have about the tablet life cycle. Today, phones last about 2 years before they become dated (more like 2 months for Android). Obviously this is the case more so for Android since there is more variety in hardware and software versus Apple's annual new iPhone and full control of hardware and software updates. Holding on to a phone for more than 2 years and you risk not being able to get the new OS updates or a full OS update. This hasn’t been a major concern for most people because we buy phones at subsidized rates with a contract of $300 or less depending on model and deal at the time. Also, we have been conditioned to get a new phone every two years by the carriers with programs like the old New Every 2 from Verizon. Now applying that model to tablets concerns me... High end tablets can be pretty expensive, costing from $499 and up. Is the tablet hardware going to last longer than the phone hardware or will they also start to show their age every two years? Are we going to be expected to buy a new tablet every 2 or 3 years to be able to take advantage of all the OS updates? Maybe Amazon's Kindle Fire and the rumored Google Nexus Tablet have the right idea with a tablet at a $200 price point. Just curious on your opinions on the subject. Am I wrongfully concerned? Am I the only one thinking that far ahead?? Enjoy the Show!! -- Daily Listener, Chris Fatica Cleveland, OH

"ads were always in the background" and encouraged an entrepreneurial attitude with its employees with awards which led to things like Chrome and Gmail - Under Larry Page, social became the focus at the expense of things like Google Labs. - Whittaker suggests Page felt wronged that companies were willing to give themselves second billing to facebook via URLs like facebook.com/nike when they would never do that for google - of Google+ he said, " It was an ominous name invoking the feeling that Google alone wasn’t enough." - Whittaker says that Google+ failed to win users away from Facebook in large numbers. - "The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus."	- Executive director of Goldman Sachs Greg Smith published his reasons why he's leaving Goldman Sachs calling it a toxic environment where clients' interests are sidelined. - Smith talked of how when he joined the company out of college that GS's culture was what made it great and that it is now gone due to the way it thought of leadership. - Tumblr president John Maloney used that letter as recruitment - saying to join the NYC tech startup community if you identify with Greg Smith's piece.

We create content that people want to have.” - Allen: How in this environment can our respective industries do more to defend the principles of copyright when we’re confronting this wave of the public that goes every day to the Internet and downloads and reads all sorts of stuff for free?” - Attaway: “Education is key. It is absolutely ridiculous that a movie that cost $100 million to create, a copy of which you paid $20 for, to say that you own that movie and should make any number of copies you want to. The intellectual base of the Copyleft is pretty flimsy, and we need to do a better job of pointing that out to the public. We need to do it from a grassroots base of the millions of people whose livelihoods depend on copyright protection. [Paying $20 for a movie] doesn’t mean you have the right to make all the copies you want and share them with all of your friends.” -	Cary Sherman, CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, said most of the participating ISPs are on track to begin implementing an anti-piracy notification program by July 12. ----- requires that ISPs send out one or two educational notices to those customers who are accused of downloading copyrighted content illegally. If the customer doesn't stop, the ISP is then asked to send out "confirmation notices" asking that they confirm that they have received notice.

16		A Patent Lie: How Yahoo Weaponized My Work	http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2012/03/opinion-baio-yahoo-patent-lie/
17		- As we mentioned briefly in News Fuse yesterday Yahoo has made good on their threat to sue Facebook, filing in San Jose, California federal court over 10 patents, most of which focus on advertising - Facebook spokesman Jonathan Thaw said Facebook found out through the media: "We're disappointed that Yahoo, a longtime business partner of Facebook and a company that has substantially benefited from its association with Facebook, has decided to resort to litigation," - As we discussed previously, Pre-IPO companies are vulnerable and Yahoo got Google to settle in their pre-IPO days. - Yahoo has over 3,300 patents and published patent applications, while Facebook has 160. - Yahoo asks the court for triple damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest on those damages, all court costs, and — ka-boom — that Facebook be “immediately, preliminarily, and permanently enjoined from further infringement of the patents-in-suit.” -	“Yahoo! has broken ranks and crossed the unspoken line which is that web companies don’t sue each other over their bogus patent portfolios,” writes venture capitalist Fred Wilson. “I don’t think there’s a unique idea out there in the web space and hasn’t been for well over a decade. Pretty much everything useful is based on prior art going back before the commercial web existed.”

We still expect a CQ4 launch." - Vinita Jakhanwal, a senior manager at iSuppli, says Samsung is actually the sole touch screen provider for the new iPad b/c LG and Sharp's displays didn't meet Apple's standards. - Bloomberg contacted Apple, Samsung, Sharp, and LG to verify the claim, but all declined to comment - Meanwhile an unidentified Samsung official tells the Korea Times that Apple will release a 7.85-inch iPad by the end of the year. Why would that official know anything about this? B/c Samsung would also provide the displays for that other iPad and possibly the next iPhone.

27		- Frank M. Fazio has launched a class action suit against Apple over Siri. - claiming the feature can't understand directions, locate nearby stores, and often produces incorrect answers. - The lawsuit, which asks for unspecified damages, says Siri is “at best, a work-in-progress.” - - -	[I]n many of Apple’s television advertisements, individuals are shown using Siri to make appointments, find restaurants, and even learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs or how to tie a tie. In the commercials, all of these tasks are done with ease with the assistance of the iPhone 4S’s Siri feature, a represented functionality contrary to the actual operating results and performance of Siri.

76		Hey everyone, I have emailed the show before about using podcasting etc in class. Your discussion yesterday about the notion of watching lectures in the students' time and then having discussions etc during class piqued my interest. Like most profs I have had a problem with people using social media tools in class while I am lecturing. So, in a recent neuropharmacology class I had the powerpoint slides on one screen, and on the other screen I had a live twitter feed with the hashtag #PSY3506. I would lecture, and, now and then check out the twitter stream. Now, most of the comments were standard snarky ones (which I quite enjoy) and I wondered if this was not a great idea. After class the people who were using twitter talked to me about the experience. They all said roughly the same thing. They paid more attention than usual (one assumes, in order to come up with good snarky lines). So, I may do this again in some classes. Here are a couple of pics: http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/twitterstream.jpg http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/twitterclass.jpg David R Brodbeck, PhD	http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/twitterstream.jpg

Mass Effect producer Mike Gamble took to Twitter explaining BioWare wasn't doing that at all and the DLC and the game were developed together, but content was never removed from the game.	http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2401449,00.asp

76		Hey TNT crew! I wanted to throw in a few thoughts to your conversation on the rumoured disc-less Xbox console. In terms of backwards compatibility, both Sony and Microsoft have been moving away from physical backwards compatibility. In recent iterations of the PS3, PS2 games no longer work with the system. As for the Xbox 360, Microsoft has stopped Xbox Live service for Xbox games. The UMD transfer program for the PlayStation Vita Iyaz mentioned will not be carried outside of Japan due to what Sony claims to be a lack of demand. Instead, all three companies have been pushing digital (re-)purchases of games through their virtual storefronts (PSN, XBLA, WiiWare, etc.). Backwards compatibility doesn’t bother me as much; that’s more of an issue in the initial years of a console’s release when the library of games may be light. What interests me more is how a disc-less console would impact the gaming industry’s relationship with GameStop, which is still by far the largest retailer for gaming Used game sales is still a huge issue for the gaming industry. Digital distribution seems to be one solution, at least to publishers and developers. Problem is, the used game market also makes a huge part of GameStop’s profits. It would be interesting to see how GameStop would respond should Microsoft (and Sony) go down this route. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Derrick

If you put your phone in airplane mode, then go into notes and try to dictate something with your voice you can't, the microphone is missing from the keyboard. I'm pretty sure this indicates that voice dictation needs the Internet to work. Love the show! Josh Johnson Greenville, SC

20		- The fees to use Google Maps probably aren’t what’s starting to put off companies like Foursquare and Apple — it’s probably the ever-increasing reach of Google’s advertising efforts. - At the beginning of March it began charging anyone pulling over 25,000 page loads a day $4, $8, or $10 per additional 1,000 loads, and also now offers Premier Tier. - Google still requires users to allow ads to be pushed along - All other map providers like NavTeq, TeleNav, Tele Atlas charge - Foursquare is using a company called MapBox to improve data it pulls from OpenStreetMap, while Apple might use acquired companies including C3 Technologies to add 3D graphics. -

25		- T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman speaking at the GeekWire summit in Seattle - “It actually distorts what devices actually cost and it causes OEMs, carriers — everybody to compete on different playing fields. And I think it is really difficult, especially from a consumer perspective, because it causes consumers to devalue completely the hardware they are using…. It is amazing hardware, but it has become kind of throw away. So, it is unfortunate, you’ve got dual-core, multiprocessor devices with amazing HD screens that get thrown away at 18 months.” Said if he were King for a day he would get rid of subsidies - Mike McSherry of Swype quipped: “You are one of four kings in the country to do that, right?” - Brodman says it's hard for T-Mobile to lead the way when other carriers won't follow. - -

37		- Gawker got their hands on some of Twitter's revenue numbers - Twitter is the “biggest blown business opportunity in media or tech,” Tate says, because six years into it, it’s losing money, not minting it like Facebook. - ATD points out: In 2010 it generated $28.5 million in revenue. In the first three months of 2011, it came close to matching all of the previous year’s revenue, with $23.8 million. If Twitter’s growth rate never budged after that, that would put it on track to do $95.2 million in 2011. - The pace of Twitter’s losses appears to have ramped up, too. Tate says it lost $67.8 million in 2010, and another $25.8 million in Q1 2011. Not a huge surprise, given that Twitter has been on a multiyear hiring binge. - It wasn't until Dick Costolo returned that Twitter started getting serious about ads. Probably not until Mid-2011 - And ad offerings have been continuously ramping up - they’ve recently added a “self-serve” option for small advertisers. That’s a crucial step because it allows them to really pick up the pace of their ad sales

80		Hi, TNT team, I am afraid you missed in my opinion the most interesting (and sad) part of the Pwn2Own 2012 story. The reason why Google left the contest is that the exploits are not publicized after the break-in. It changed the contest from the happy celebration of hacking and sharing the knowledge in the open source spirit to the something like WWE-like marketing drive of professional crackers (who's customers are whom? Governments breaking into our computer? Customers from ... I don't want to know where? who knows?). The bitterness in my voice comes from what I consider to be betrayal of the hacker (in good sense of the word) ethic both on the side of participants and organizers of the show. See http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/pwn2own-2012-google-chrome-browser-sandbox-first-to-fall/10588 for details. Best, Matěj Cepl (if you want to read the name on air, either just say Matthew, that's my name in English, or, I know Tom knows a bit of Russian, try Матей; I am Czech so we don't use Cyrilic, but this is probably a way how to suggest the pronunciation to English-speaking person via email).

82		Hey TNT Crew! It appears that the AppleTV software update yesterday has a few annoying bugs. I thought your viewers/listeners might appreciate knowing about them. Hopefully, they'll be fixed in a future update. 1. TV Shows no longer list alphabetically but are sorted by the "most recently" modified/added (oldest at the top). If you have a large TV library on iTunes, this is a huge headache. 2. Podcast episodes listed in the "Favorites" section no longer show up as having been "watched" (the blue dot disappearing) once you actually watch them. This now has to be done manually. 3. Various media (movies, tv, podcasts, etc) will sometimes be missing icon art. Item #1 appears to be the most problematic while 2 & 3 aren't as widespread. Lets hope these bugs get squashed soon. LOVE TNT! Keep up the great work! Mike

23		The U.S. Threat To Sue Apple And Publishers: What It Means	http://paidcontent.org/article/419-the-u.s.-threat-to-sue-apple-and-publishers-what-it-means/
24		- WSJ reports The Department of Justice plans to sue Apple & 5 publishers for allegedly colluding to fix the prices of e-books, claiming they violated the Sherman act - Simon & Schuster Inc, Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group, Macmillan, & HarperCollins. Some already talking to DOJ on settlement - Apple "agency pricing": Pubs sell book at chosen price, Apple takes 30%. Can't sell to another retailer for less. Amazon uses wholesale model: publishers sell to retailers for a price, retailers sell e-books at whatever price they liked, often at a loss to build market share. Pubs complain ppl start expecting unreasonably low priced books. - Usually in US anti-trust cases, companies agree to a “consent decree” out of court that lays out a code of conduct & fine. Talk of lawsuit may mean a "consent decree" wasn't successful. If the government sues, a federal judge will have to rule Apple & the pubs violated the Sherman Act by price fixing and impose a penalty. Unlikely the case will go to trial if Apple fights because of bad publicity, $.	- Amazon wants the wholesale model so ppl buy more books thru Kindle Fires, other devices - Pubs want agency model so they can charge higher prices over Apple's 30% - Apple has the $$ to lose, but paidcontent points out, if they lose this battle, are music/app models at risk?

77		Hey folks! I wanted to send in a quick comment regarding your commentary in ep. 452 about Siri on the new iPad. I would actually be surprised if Siri ever came to the iPad. The reason is that Siri requires an active internet connection to work. This makes the iPhone the ideal platform for Siri as it presumably will have a 3G connection when not connected to wifi. However the iPad still has several variants without 3G as an option, and the versions that do have 3G don't require the user to have a service plan with the device the way the iPhone typically does. IMO, it would be too confusing for Apple to introduce Siri on the iPad and then try to explain that it only works when on wifi or with an active 3G connection etc. I wondered what you thought about this. Thanks for the great show! Joseph Ward Kalispell, MT

79		Hi TNT So I am doing an experiment, we are about to have our second child (literally any minute now my wife should go into labor). We have picked a first and a last name but we can't decide on the middle name, thus I've created a Public facebook poll to help us name our child, https://www.facebook.com/questions/995407767942/ I'd be trilled if the TWIT staff answered and or shared. (PS: I've neve done this before so I am not sure the question will work, although I shared it publicly) PS: It is worth noting that the first name of child is Lennox because my wife and I being both Tech ppl and we started calling the baby Linux as a JOKE before we knew the sex, well it turns out that when you call something a name for 4 months, it tends to stick, my wife and I didn't feel comfortable with sticking with Linux directly since it isn't a name, so we found the closest thing. Love the show!!! Jose C Gomez	https://www.facebook.com/questions/995407767942/

78		Hello TNT! I’m writing because I, and I assume many other people, am slowly becoming trapped in ecosystem hell! Recently apple’s competitors have started creating and implementing their own iTunes-esque systems. Google Play, windows 8, amazon cloud – yet in spite of their good intentions, I find myself now in the worst kind of ecosystem hell. Having bought content from Microsoft, amazon, Google, and yes even apple, I have content scattered across devices, websites, cloud servers. If I want to watch a movie on my TV I have to try and remember where I bought it first, was it Zune on the Xbox, or amazon on my roku, or did I buy it on Google TV? Well of course I didn’t buy on Google TV because no real people have them, but again you get the idea. My question and hope for discussion is this, how will players like Microsoft, Google, and amazon help consumers get previously purchased content in one place? For music or documents I can just upload everything, but that becomes a problem with things like movies. Will anyone ever solve this or is it just time for me to choose a team and say goodbye to old content? Thanks, Scott the camp director in California

I got it as a way for the kids to kind of have a giant iPad, but it wasn't very intuitive and the interface was cloogy at best. The new operating system changes a bad windows touchscreen PC into an incredible 25" windows tablet. You can get these really cheap on craigslist and I truly recommend it. Cheers, Ek

89		Hey Guys, When you were taking about Steam's possible hardware in episode 450, you were referring to it as a "Steam Box". Surely it should be called the Sauna or kettle, both could be considered boxes of steam... Maybe not. On a more serious note, a box by Steam would be an interesting way of levelling the playing field in the console vs PC gaming, but would the PC gaming elite feel that this would be a betrayal? Love the show guys. I should be visiting at the end of May/beginning of June and I am really excited to meet you all. Regards Fred from Glasgow, Scotland (3Cubed on Reddit)

12		- US Senator Charles Schumer has urged the Federal Trade Commission to investigate reports that applications on the Apple Inc and Google Inc mobile systems steal private photos and contacts and post them online without consent. - The Senator said he was concerned about a New York Times report that iPhone and Android applications can access a user's private photo collection. - He also referred to previous reports about uploading address books, names, telephone numbers, etc. - "These uses go well beyond what a reasonable user understands himself to be consenting to when he allows an app to access data on the phone for purposes of the app's functionality," Schumer said in a letter to the FTC. He acknowledged these behaviors violate the terms of service but "it is not clear whether or how those terms of service are being enforced and monitored". - "smartphone makers should be required to put in place safety measures to ensure third party applications are not able to violate a user's personal privacy by stealing photographs or data that the user did not consciously decide to make public". -

24		- Last friday, Josh Topolsky from The Verge reported sources tell him Valve is developing a hardware platform and may release details at the Game Developers Conference (Or may wait until E3) - hardware spec and associated software which would make up the backbone of a "Steam Box." The actual devices may be made by a variety of partners - a rumor that the Alienware X51 may have been designed with an early spec of the system in mind - specs of the Steam Box include a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GPU. The devices will be able to run any standard PC titles, and will also allow for rival gaming services (like EA's Origin) to be loaded up. USB controlelrs will work but might ship with a proprietary controller. - give developers a clear lifecycle for their products, with changes possibly coming every three to four years. - Also biometrics, whole home screen sharing and Apple TV as a main target regarding openness

77		Guys, love the show! In episode 438 you were discussing AT&T's changed throttling plan. Something to consider... If 5% of users (who pay the same as the other 95%) use 50-80% of the data, AT&T might be better off in total by alienating some of those users so much they leave. If half of them leave, AT&T losses 2.5% of their revenue, but gains 25-40% of their data capacity back to sell to less demanding customers (who are then on tiered plans instead of unlimited plans). Sometimes "firing" your least profitable customers is a good thing. Thanks, Rich McAdams, Jr. President enGenius Consulting Group

79		Hi guys, Everyone's saying that perhaps Apple are going to unveil a new Apple TV on Wednesday alongside the iPad 3. I think they might, but I don't think it's going to be what people are expecting. I think Apple may have reimagined the Apple TV. What if the new Apple TV is nothing more than an app on the new IPad, that Airplays to a new HDMI dongle for your TV? Would that be the "simplest method ever"? Their accessories have been getting more sophisticated. <<Stop reading here if you want>> When the iPad 2 launched, it came alongside a HDMI adaptor that allowed screen mirroring. Now that Airplay has been such a success, why not make the iPad 3 the workhorse, and feed to an Always-On mini dongle type thing that is plugged into your HDMI 3 slot, instead of a set-top box that requires a separate remote and power unit. What if the iPad 3 is the Apple TV 3? Love the show, keep up the great work Adam Roche in the United Kingdom P.S: I'm probably wrong, but at least it's original thinking!

72		Hi TNT crew You talked about mobile networks with unlimited data plans and trafic congestion in episode 448. I live in Finland where unlimited data plans are the norm with mobile data customers. People either don't use a phone for data at all or they have an unlimited data plan.You could get a metered megabyte plan, but it is horribly expensive compared to unlimited plans. The thing is, that unlimited here means data amount. Plans have an unlimited data amount, but you pay different for speeds. There are cheap plans, which limit speed to around 512 kb/s. This costs around 5€/month. Unthrottled high speed LTE connection costs around 40 €/month. I think this is better way to price plans, than metering data and selling everyone full speed connection. Many people will use phone for email, using social networks, IM and checking news sites, so speed is not critical for this customer group. On the other hand there are people who want to use it for high speed critical services like video streaming. If you try to sell full speed to everyone, you are selling an overkill to the people just wanting to check email and you lose potential customers, who can't afford expensive highspeed connection, but would want to have some kind of mobile internet connection. if you are willing to dish out the cash, you can get totally unlimited in every possible way connection. It just won't be cheap. Ari from Finland

74		Tom, Sarah, Iyaz, Darren, Jason, and crew, Thursday you requested some engineer speak on mobile spectrum as related to data charges. I posted some recent links on this issue to the TWIT wiki back in December, which could help: http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/TWiT_330 At 15:12 of my linked audio recording I discuss spectral efficiency correlated to capacity theorem. So you can infer, as much as I'd love for phone companies to be entirely BS'ing with upping data rates, it is a real concern. Likely not nearly as much of a concern as they're charging us for! And certainly not nearly enough of a concern for app, OS, and hardware developers! Cheers, Jay Armstrong, B.ENG, SEMAC

76		hey all, Seeing all the discussion over how new high end phones seem to be getting bigger and bigger, I thought i'd shed some more light on why. The screen size is generally not a design goal as a result of consumer response, it is a symptom/side effect of other design issues. What I mean is that new high end SOC's and tech like LTE are not only battery hogs, they take up more physical space. This means that more room is needed to fit everything in, and add in the need for bigger batteries and a desire for thin devices, the only solution is a larger footprint and thus: bigger screens. So we should expect future devices that use current tech to get smaller, but the bleeding edge will remain oversized, for good or ill. Faiz, Montreal

If you try to order one, it is backordered already. $400 for 8GB, $500 for 16GB - A bunch of sites have their reviews up - Background: Lytro uses "Light Field Technology" which allows you to focus after you take a picture. - Image quality: It works well for a particular kind of shot and if it is lit well. - Poorly lit images can cause issues with the focus effect - Wired explains how important composition is and how extra care is necessary to make these Lytro images stand out - Mac only software and moving photos (around 16MB each pic) took a while and is resource intensive - JPG versions of the images resolve to 1080 x 1080	- Lytro plans to release updates later this year allowing for things like genuine tilt-shift focus and native 3-D images from a single lens. Another filter currently in the works will let you place an entire image in focus. Review notes: - The Verge and Wired both had issue with the touch sensitive zoom control. Wired's John Bradley accidentally hit the shutter button. - David Pierce thought the design made it strange to use as a camera and took issue with some of the design choices like the zoom control - which blends in with the design, but the touch sensitive bumps are hard to distinguish. Overall, the design was simple and clean - The Display is 1.46-inches and doesn't have good viewing angles

86		Hi TnT By redirecting bodog.com, the united states has just extra-territoriallyseized the assets of a Canadian company, one operating in canada and doing something that was legal under canadian law. If this was anything other than a domain name it would be an international incident. Worse, the united states isn't even against gambling, this is a protectionist law sponsored by real life gambling interests in the US. That, coupled with the fact your congress and senate are happily trying to pass laws enabling them to seize domains without due process and for flimsy offences and you can see why the rest of the world is getting a little freaked out. It's time to get the domain registration system out of the United States,it isn't mature enough to manage it. Thanks, Rob in Canada

"The message the user is being presented with is very, very unclear." - Android users who give permission for an application to modify or delete SD card contents are equally opening up their photograph albums, along with everything else, often without the user realising it. - The Verge reported on Tuesday evening that its sources said Apple is aware of the bug and is "likely planning a fix" as part of an upcoming update to iOS. - Settings > Location Services and turn off location services for the Camera app

87		Guys: Google made a switch to require every user of an android phone to sign up for a Google account (including +). I know because a ton of not-tech friends of mine have been showing up on Google+ (NOT a welcome thing, as I was enjoying the tech-exclusivity of it) for no good reason. If their only interaction with + is the auto-upload of their photos and the occasional search, that might explain it. Google managed to boost their subscriber base substantially, but by including so many non-using users, diluted the engagement numbers. Just a though, Rob Maxwell Damascus, MD

97		This episode of [show] is brought to you by Ford, featuring EcoBoost. ● EcoBoost is the engine technology from Ford that delivers the power of a larger engine in a smaller one. EcoBoost engine technology has helped make the seven-passenger Ford Explorer Best-In-Class Highway Fuel Economy*. Here’s how Ford did it: ● Ford redesigned the conventional engine to meet fuel efficiency standards. ● Ford created EcoBoost engine technology by: ○ reducing the number of cylinders to improve efficiency, and ○ compensating for the loss in horsepower and torque through a combination of technologies, including direct injection and turbocharging. Here’s how it works: ● EcoBoost combines two technologies: direct injection (DI) and twin turbocharging. ● DI produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per drop of fuel, while the two small engine-cooled turbochargers spool up more quickly than a single large turbo. ● Energy from the engine’s exhaust, which would otherwise be wasted, rotates the turbine wheels. Each turbine is coupled to a compressor that pressurizes incoming air, significantly increasing output per liter. ● You experience instantaneous low-end torque responsiveness with virtually no turbo lag. Look for the 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine on the 2012 Explorer and Edge. The 2013 Escape (coming Spring 2012) will offer 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter EcoBoost options. You can learn more about this and other technologies Ford is bringing to its vehicles at Ford.com/technology	"Tech News Today is brought to you by GoToMeeting… We develop trust in the people we know - but we don’t really know someone we can’t see.

32		- Yahoo is seeking to force Facebook into licensing 10 to 20 patents over technologies that include advertising, the personalization of Web sites, social networking and messaging, people briefed on the matter told DealBook. - Yahoo legal head Mike Callahan called Facebook yesterday asking the company to pay licensing fees or risk facing a lawsuit. a Yahoo spokesman said in an e-mailed statement. “We must insist that Facebook either enter into a licensing agreement or we will be compelled to move forward unilaterally to protect our rights.” - Barry Schnitt, a spokesman for Facebook, said in a statement: “Yahoo contacted us the same time they called The New York Times and so we haven’t had the opportunity to fully evaluate their claims.” - Yahoo said that other unspecified Web technology companies have already licensed some of the patents in question. - Kara Swisher says Facebook had known of the patent concerns of Yahoo for some months — but had not engaged formally on the topic, several sources said. -	Yahoo has done this before, of course, having wrangled with Google until right before it went public in 2004 over search patents from its Overture acquisition. The pair settled 10 days before the Google IPO, with Yahoo getting several million more shares of that stock (which it then, of course, sold too soon).

Carriers and operators who are already running backbones based on Cisco's popular ASR5000 mobile multimedia platform would have less gear to buy and work to do as well. - As a part of today's announcement of its Next Generation Hotspots (NGH) plan at Mobile World Congress, Cisco announced that it will be working with AT&T, BT, PCCW (Hong Kong), Portugal Telecom, Shaw Communications (Canada), and Smart and True in Thailand. - Hotspot 2.0 is a specification that Cisco helped to write for the Wireless Broadband Alliance.

Acc'g to Bloomberg: refinancing, network upgrades and possibly helping out Clearwire (Sprint's the largest investor in the company) - Clearwire CEO interview w/AllThingsD at MWC: “Our spectrum is clean, it’s contiguous, it’s deep and it doesn’t suffer from interference issues,” CEO Erik Prusch said - “We believe with the absence of spectrum available in the U.S. in the foreseeable future, ultimately we will be best served by serving a lot of wholesale partners,” Prusch said. AllThingsD suggests it could be T-Mobile, but Prusch wouldn't comment about who Clearwire is talking to - LightSquared just lost its CEO Sanjiv Ahuja.

They also have reduced errors and brought performance near the minimum required to create a practical quantum computer. Why do we want this? Because a 250-qubit quantum computer would contain more bits that there are particles in the universe.IBM will present its results at the American Physical Society meeting this week in Boston.	http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/28/2830256/ibm-quantum-computing-qubit-100-microsecond-record

90		This episode of [show] is brought to you by Ford, featuring EcoBoost. ● EcoBoost is the engine technology from Ford that delivers the power of a larger engine in a smaller one. EcoBoost engine technology has helped make the seven-passenger Ford Explorer Best-In-Class Highway Fuel Economy*. Here’s how Ford did it: ● Ford redesigned the conventional engine to meet fuel efficiency standards. ● Ford created EcoBoost engine technology by: ○ reducing the number of cylinders to improve efficiency, and ○ compensating for the loss in horsepower and torque through a combination of technologies, including direct injection and turbocharging. Here’s how it works: ● EcoBoost combines two technologies: direct injection (DI) and twin turbocharging. ● DI produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per drop of fuel, while the two small engine-cooled turbochargers spool up more quickly than a single large turbo. ● Energy from the engine’s exhaust, which would otherwise be wasted, rotates the turbine wheels. Each turbine is coupled to a compressor that pressurizes incoming air, significantly increasing output per liter. ● You experience instantaneous low-end torque responsiveness with virtually no turbo lag. Look for the 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine on the 2012 Explorer and Edge. The 2013 Escape (coming Spring 2012) will offer 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter EcoBoost options. You can learn more about this and other technologies Ford is bringing to its vehicles at Ford.com/technology

To expand on what he said, the Tor Project is no longer developing Torbutton as a separate extension for any browser because it's just too hard to track and patch all the changes which send out identifying information in the general releases of Firefox and Chrome. Instead, they recommend you install the Tor Browser Bundle from the torproject.org site which contains Torbutton and a separate version of Firefox called Aurora maintained by the Tor Project.

Currently they're among the top 10 grossing app on the app store. Would apple want to risk cannibalizing their own productivity apps? Keep up the great work Thanks guys Laurent

99		This episode of [show] is brought to you by Ford, featuring EcoBoost. ● EcoBoost is the engine technology from Ford that delivers the power of a larger engine in a smaller one. EcoBoost engine technology has helped make the seven-passenger Ford Explorer Best-In-Class Highway Fuel Economy*. Here’s how Ford did it: ● Ford redesigned the conventional engine to meet fuel efficiency standards. ● Ford created EcoBoost engine technology by: ○ reducing the number of cylinders to improve efficiency, and ○ compensating for the loss in horsepower and torque through a combination of technologies, including direct injection and turbocharging. Here’s how it works: ● EcoBoost combines two technologies: direct injection (DI) and twin turbocharging. ● DI produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per drop of fuel, while the two small engine-cooled turbochargers spool up more quickly than a single large turbo. ● Energy from the engine’s exhaust, which would otherwise be wasted, rotates the turbine wheels. Each turbine is coupled to a compressor that pressurizes incoming air, significantly increasing output per liter. ● You experience instantaneous low-end torque responsiveness with virtually no turbo lag. Look for the 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine on the 2012 Explorer and Edge. The 2013 Escape (coming Spring 2012) will offer 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter EcoBoost options. You can learn more about this and other technologies Ford is bringing to its vehicles at Ford.com/technology

19		- Motorola is now enforcing an injunction against Apple's iCloud push email notifications in Germany, meaning the service has been shut down for users in the region. - "Apple holds the patent to be invalid and [plans] to submit an appeal," Apple said in a translated statement. - Consumers have to return to the days of 2009 when they were required to set their email to check for new messages at a pre-defined interval. - The patent at issue relates to older pager designs, but Motorola was able to convince a German court that it applied to Apple's implementation of push e-mail that syncs across devices via iCloud. The injunction went into effect on Thursday of this week, requiring Apple to disable push e-mail syncing in Germany. - This not considered an essential patent and therefore doesn't involve FRAND -

Apple likes to lock down their OS, but if OnLive pays for it, would it be possible? I know you can't virtualize OS X on Windows, but could you have a server running OS X setting this up? Although since you'd have to have all Apple hardware running this might not be financially viable for OnLive, the thought is interesting to consider. Love da sho, Rich in Lovely Cleveland

38		"Unethical" HTML video copy protection proposal draws criticism from W3C reps	http://arst.ch/sky
39		- A proposal by developers from Google, Microsoft, and Netflix would add copy-protecion from streaming and downloadable video as part fo the HTML 5 standard - The structure would rely on a "content decryption module" or CDM that could operate independently of the browser, possibly through hardware or firmware. With the CDM in place, a company could then send a key to decrypt a given portion of HTML. - Google's Ian Hickson, for example, called the proposal "unethical," and said that in any case, it did not provide enough content protection to make it worth implementing. - Mozilla's Chris Pearce, meanwhile, asked how the proposal would affect open source browsers, which could theoretically be patched to allow people to capture streaming video or audio. - Netflix's Mark Watson said that while hardware solutions could solve some of these problems, such browsers would need to stream the content through a "protected media pipeline." -

They found that there is virtually no difference in data consumption between those in the top 5% of usage of unlimited plans and those on tiered plans.

76		Guys and Gal, I was listening to the February 21st edition of Tech News Today and you talked about the rumor of MS Office for the iPad. The only way I see this happening is if it is tied into the Microsoft's SkyDrive and it is limited to what you can do with the web-based product. In fact, it would not surprise me if it is the web-based version optimized for tablets. So that it can work on both the iPad and Android tablets. If Microsoft, could do that it would be a big punch in the gut to Google. Paul Franz Reading, PA	@msftnews "Great respect for The Daily but regrettably someone is giving them bad info, and that’ll be clear in the “coming weeks.” https://twitter.com/#!/MSFTnews/status/172098558017810432

78		Hi guys: In TNT 441 you had a story about how the electrical grid could be taken out by online attacks. It would take a massive co-ordinated attack by a large number of people because there is NO electrical grid in the U.S. What exists is a large number of local, state, and regional electrical grids, of which some (but not all) are linked together. The powers-that-be have been using the propaganda scare tactic of attacks against the "electrical grid" for several years now since they know that very few people know or understand this fact. While there may be some electrical grids operated/maintained by state and/or local governments, the vast majority are owned by private companies (although many are publicly traded). The U.S. government does not own, maintain, or operated any electrical grids whatsoever. -- Ed. Hillman in Virginia

It's intended for humans to read even though P3P policies are designed for browsers to 'read'," - Facebook presents a P3P statement that says: "Facebook does not have a P3P policy." The text allegedly sent by Google actually reads "This is not a P3P policy" and includes a link to a Google page which says cookies used to secure and authenticate Google users are needed to store user preferences, and that the P3P protocol "was not designed with situations like these in mind." - Lorrie Faith Cranor, an Associate Professor of Computer Science and of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University: reportedly alerted Microsoft back in 2010 to the potential for the kind of privacy breach it describes Google uses, according to the All About Microsoft blog. - senior VP of communications and policy, Rachel Whetstone, Google says Microsoft’s system is outdated and over-involved, and more importantly breaks features like the Facebook “Like” button. - a 2010 research report that, at the time, indicated more than 11,000 sites were not complying with P3P policies	A class-action complaint has now been filed against Google for its circumvention of Safari's privacy features.

Keith Alexander has stated in White House meetings that within a year or two Anonymous could have the ability to cause power outages - he has warned publicly about an emerging ability by cyberattackers to disable or even damage computer networks. - Last week, for instance, Anonymous announced a plan to shut down the Internet on March 31, which it calls Operation Global Blackout.?? - Intelligence officials believe that, for now, the cyber threat to the power grid is relatively limited. The countries that could most quickly develop and use cyber means to destroy part of the grid—such as China and Russia—have little incentive to do it. Those who might have more incentive, like Iran or North Korea, don't have the capability. - A similar threat was described to lawmakers at a hearing last week. "A near-peer competitor [country] could give cyber malware capability to some fringe group," said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Some hacker, next thing you know, could be into our electrical grid. We have to get after this." - “Why would Anons shut off a power grid? There are ppl on life support / other vital services that rely on it. Try again NSA. #FearMongering,” tweeted YourAnonNews, a popular Twitter account that announced the temporary downing of the CIA website on February 10.

84		Hi Tom and crew, Just thought I should weigh in on the discussion on municipal internet. In Lund, Sweden where I live, the municipality provides an open city network where any internet provider can offer services as long as they are competitive and doesn't have any long term contracts. As a result, I pay approximately $8 per month for 100 Mbit/s and if I'm not happy with my current provider, I can switch the next month without any fees or downtime. Just thought you might find it interesting to hear of an example where municipal internet is working amazingly good! -- Erik Jansson

20		- Stanford researcher Jonathan Mayer (and later confirmed by WSJ) found that Google's Doubleclick and Vibrant Media, Media Innovation Group, and PointRoll have used an iframe trick to set cookies in Safari that would otherwise be blocked. (This problem also occurs in IE6/7 but can be resolved by sending a P3P header.) - Under its default settings, both the desktop and iOS versions of Safari only accept the files from sites that individuals specifically visit or interact with. - developer Anant Garg first described the method in 2010, which uses a blank form sent in the background - Google said in a statement that "the Journal mischaracterizes what happened and why. We used known Safari functionality to provide features that signed-in Google users had enabled. It's important to stress that these advertising cookies do not collect personal information." - an update to Webkit that closes the loophole—and was prepared by two Google engineers—could be incorporated into future versions of Safari. - The Consumer Watchdog advocacy group today asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether Google violated a previous privacy agreement with the FTC	Essentially as I understand it,Safari blocks 3rd-party cookies by default, however third-party cookies are allowed when a form is posted. Google wanted to include +1 buttons in ads, but since doubleclick and G+ are at different domains, they used the form posting function to make the connection. Google claims this had the unintended side effect of allowing other cookies to be set from other advertising. Google has shut off the form and is actively removing the cookies that were set unintentionally.

24		- Patently Apple reported a Google patent published earlier this month would offer Android manufacturers "new options to unlock future Android devices." - Patently Apple suggests one way this might play out is o to have a user drag one icon to another icon on the screen -There's also mention of dragging apps to unlock directly to that app as well as voice-activated unlocking as well as the option to draw an unlocking pattern on the touch screen, - yesterday, Apple won a key ruling in a German court that said Motorola Mobility is violating Apple's slide-to-unlock patent in several of its mobile devices. - - -

A NYT source tells the Post that, “They [Apple] are playing access journalism...I’ve heard it from people inside Apple: They said, look, you guys are going to get less access based on the iEconomy series.” The "iEconomy series" refers to the Times piece about Foxconn factory conditions in China where iPads are assembled. The Wall Street Journal was granted access to Mountain Lion in advance of its release and scored an interview with Apple CEO, Tim Cook.	http://9to5mac.com/2012/02/17/nytimes-accuses-apple-of-playing-access-journalism-claims-their-coverage-of-foxconn-conditions-got-them-off-of-apples-reviewers-list/

48	dk	Members of the University of Minnesota's College of Science and Engineering have devised a low-cost way to find you based on your GSM cell phone. Attackers call the target's phone number several times, hanging up in about 5 seconds each time so that the phone doesn't ring. However it's enough time to see the cell tower page the phone using some open source monitoring software, as long as both attacker and target are in the same area known as an LAC for Location Area Code (different from a phone number's area code).	http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/02/location-tracking-of-gsm-cellphones-now-easier-and-cheaper-than-ever.ars
49		- When a cell phone is called the tower sends out a page containing a temporary MSI or Mobile Subscriber Number - not the customer's phone number, this temporary MSI changes often (but not often enough it seems) - attackers also within the tower range of the victim can eavesdrop on these TMSI pages - after several attempts attackers can figure out which TMSI is associated with their victim - requires a cheap hacked Nokia feature phone, special cable and some open source software to pull off - Only works against targets connected to GSM networks and configured to communicate over 2G networks: e.g. iPhones - AT&T and Nokia have been notified

69		Hi everyone I love your show, I listen everyday. What struck me as interesting in your recent story about the next version of OS X is it's expected release date, sometime in the summer. I was thinking that this would likely coincide with a refresh of the Mac Book and Mac Book Air line of computers. If this happens then it is likely that Apple would leave the iPhone update to the fall so as to spread out it's product launches. This would be in opposition to what many people think, that the new iPhone would be launched in June. I was wondering what you guys thought about this as a likely scenario? Keep up the good job.

71		Hey guys and Sarah. Have you ever heard of an electric cooperative. If not, they are customer owned electric companies. There are also telephone cooperatives in areas of the country. Why don't people in rural areas form there own ISP cooperatives. Other cooperatives were formed when rural areas were underserved with electricity or phone service so why couldn't ISP's be formed. The infrastructure for supplying internet service is cheaper than it has ever been so now would be the time to do it. Also cooperatives are not meant to make a profit just provide the infrastructure and maintain it. Just sayin' Thanks Allen
