| Samsung Galaxy Tab Passes One Million Units Sold [TNW Mobile] Posted: 03 Dec 2010 03:12 AM PST
Just a week ago, the company had sold 600,000 units worldwide, with sales looking to have drastically increased over the holiday period now helped by the fact the device is now available via 120 mobile carriers in 64 countries. This includes Samsung’s domestic market where the device has sold over 100,000 units in just 20 days. In comparison, Apple’s iPad sold over two million units in its first two months but entered a market with little or no competition. The Samsung Galaxy Tab has performed well, despite competition, especially considering the lack of applications available for Android tablet devices and the fact Google has opened stated current Android software is not specifically suitable for tablet devices. There are reports that Samsung is currently developing a 10-inch tablet to accompany the 10-inch Galaxy Tab, this is expected to launch early next year.The Chosun Ilbo [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Singapore startups to get a boost with launch of new super incubator [TNW Asia] Posted: 03 Dec 2010 02:39 AM PST
Located in the Ayer Rajah Crescent near Buona Vista MRT, the MDA’s new initiative is part of a larger campaign by the authority known as the Mediapolis Phase Zero, with the sole intention of accelerating the development of next-gen consumer applications. The super incubator, similar to initiatives like TechHub in London, will bring lots of different companies from the Singapore media sector, not only providing space for them to work but welcome collaborations between them. Boasting seven floors, the building will supply office space averaging around 90 sqm, featuring air conditioning, internet access and lighting. For all of that, the authority will charge an average of S$16 per sqm. Startups can apply for offices now and will become available at the beginning of 2011 through to December 2013, obtaining three months rent free if they apply before December 31 2010.

| Wikileaks live again. Resolves DNS, moves to Switzerland [TNW Media] Posted: 03 Dec 2010 01:20 AM PST
The Wikileaks.org website went down worldwide around 11:25 PST, leaving visitors only able to access the website via a specific IP address. SkepticGeek found the statement below that was issued by EveryDNS (and is on its homepage right now). In response to the DDoS attacks on Wikileaks, EveryDNS states that it couldn't cope with strain on its systems in order to offer services to the other half a million sites that it serves.
Twitter users spread news of the new servers’ IP addresses, allowing users of the social networking service to continue to read the confidential cables on the site, just as Wikileaks wanted. It is thought the move to Switzerland comes after Wikileaks founder Julian Assange claimed he would need to find political asylum in Swizterland, noting that the European country, alongside Iceland, would be the safest place for his site to operate. Currently, the website doesn’t resolve to its DNS server, it looks as if the Wikileaks team have merely pointed the domain at the dedicated IP address of one of its servers. For now the service is up and running again and we assume DNS servers will resolve soon. We will keep you updated as the situation progresses.

| mflow announces new social music web interface, adds news features [TNW UK] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 11:41 PM PST
mflow has announced a new feature that it hopes will allow its users to interact with its service more often, delivering a new web-based version of its platform, which gives users the option to share, tag, listen and ultimately buy tracks they have either searched for or have been recommended via users on the mflow website. The new web-based platform is crafted completely in HTML5, allowing for seamless music playback on a variety of different browsers and platforms. Finding new music via the platform, as well as its downloadable application, enables users to download tracks for free, tag bands and tracks, enouraging users to actively promote the acts they like so they don’t have to pay. It’s a twist on traditional music services like iTunes, to the point that mflow has already been able to strike deals with major UK music publications Clash, Q, Kerrang, Mojo and NME, also offering “pro profiles” to prominent UK DJ’s including BBC Radio One's Zane Lowe and Greg James, hip hop DJs Cut La Roc and MistaJam, indie experts Matt Everitt and Phill Jupitus to help promote the sharing of music and highlight just how well the service works. mflow hopes to push its new web platform live in the first quarter of 2011 but encourages its users to sign into its beta version from December 3 to test and help shape development of the service by interacting with other users, sharing music and recommending tracks to others.

China Unicom is the only operator authorised to sell the Apple iPhone in mainland China. As The Next Web reported in November, China Unicom threatened to freeze the accounts of iPhone owners who removed their SIM cards from their phones. The move was intended to counteract the common practice of customers signing up with China Unicom but then cutting down their existing China Mobile SIM cards to use in their iPhones. China Mobile has been encouraging its subscribers to do this by providing a free SIM cutting service and a telephone hotline to help users switch networks. China’s state news agency, Xinhua quoted an unnamed ministry official as saying that China Unicom should,
In response, China Unicom’s spokesperson, Wen Baoqiu said in a phone interview quoted in BusinessWeek
As yet, it is not known whether China Unicom will change their terms and conditions and withdraw the threat to users that switch operators.XinHua, image, image [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Wikileaks is reportedly down worldwide as DNS services pulled [TNW Media] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 10:41 PM PST
UPDATE: Wikileaks is live again, details here. Wikileaks is reportedly down worldwide after its DNS provider EveryDNS.net stopped providing DNS support to the controversial website after giving a 24 hour termination notice. UPDATE: All indications are that as of 11:25 PM PST Wikileaks.org is indeed down worldwide, though we were able to reach its servers via its IP address (not that that really helps the general public much of course) – so the site seems to be functioning fine other than it has no DNS to route people to it. Wikileaks apparently confirmed this within the last hour in a tweet, saying, “WikiLeaks,org domain killed by US everydns.net after claimed mass attacks”. Skeptic Geek found the statement below that was issued by EveryDNS (and is on its homepage right now). In response to the DDoS attacks on Wikileaks, EveryDNS states that it couldn’t cope with strain on its systems in order to offer services to the other half a million sites that it serves. It states that the EveryDNS notified the email associated with the wikileaks.org account as well as what pinging the secretive organization on Twitter (but since the Twitter account is probably getting thousands of ‘@’s a day, that was probably only a token gesture, though of course, we kind of doubt that Wikileaks is reachable by phone, though the service provider did try the chat function on Wikileaks apparently…). Here’s the statement:
So according to that statement, EveryDNS is saying that it gave Wikileaks the opportunity to find a new DNS provider but that Wikileaks failed to do so. Of course, this news comes soon after Amazon decided – on its own according to a statement it released today – to cease to do business with Wikileaks on its Amazon Web Services. Of course, moving to another DNS provider shouldn’t be too problematic for Wikileaks – however, perhaps sticking with one if these DDoS attacks continue may be. Well, at least Wikileaks has its Cold War era bunker still – for now at least.Skeptic Geek [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Asustek blames tablets for unhealthy Netbook predictions. [TNW Industry] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 09:38 PM PST
Asustek sold 5.8 million netbooks in 2008 and 6.8 million in 2009, accounting for 45% of its total sales of notebooks. The company expects to have sold 7 million netbooks in 2010 but is predicting that it will only sell 4 to 4.5 million in 2011 a contraction of up to 40%. The decline in netbook shipments resulting from the popularity of tablets like Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab and the plethora of new tablets being introduced in the coming months is reported to be affecting all manufacturers. It’s not known if Asustek’s projections will have any effect on its market share, currently standing at about 18%. According to Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner,
It should also be noted, as we reported here, that Asustek is also entering the tablet market very soon with it’s Eee Note.image, Gartner [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Micro blog marketing set to take off in China [TNW Asia] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 08:39 PM PST
Projections suggest that there will be nearly 150 million micro blog users in the country by the end of next year. This fact has been picked up by several major multi-nationals like Nokia, Dell and China’s own Lenovo who are already seeing the potential of micro blogs as an advertising platform and are using them to promote their products. One example is Nokia’s October news briefings that were held completely on social networking websites, mainly in micro blogging services. Micro-bloggers could wear a 3D eyepiece to watch Nokia’s online 3D promotion video and interact with the company through its micro blog on Sina Weibo, .
According to Nokia, at least 400,000 users ‘attended’ this online event wich resulted in more than 1,000 orders for Nokia’s N8 smartphone making the experiment a success for the company. Another international company eyeing the potential for micro blog marketing is US computer manufacturer Dell which has already run successful campaigns on Twitter in America and has now set up its own micro blog on Sina Weibo that has received “hundreds of thousands” of visits and responses from Chinese micro-bloggers.Sina, image [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| China loses another round in Green Dam copying case [TNW Asia] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 07:24 PM PST
Cybersitter LLC claims that the Chinese government and software companies used thousands of lines of proprietary code from its parental control software to make China’s Green Dam Youth Escort software. The suit was filed by Cybersitter in January, against the Chinese Government and several PC suppliers who Cybersitter say continued to bundle the software even after it was made known that it contained pirated code. The motion to dismiss the suit was filed by Sony, Acer, BenQ and Asustek, who were all named as defendants in a list that also includes Chinese PC makers Lenovo and Haier. Green Dam Youth Escort was a program that Beijing mandated should be installed on all new PCs in China last year, allegedly to protect children from un-suitable websites, but widely believed to be used by the government to spy on users browsing habits and to extend the Great Firewall of China from the servers of ISPs into individuals’ PCs. The Chinese government backed down as a result of the subsequent outcry but, not before the software had been analysed by western observers and found to contain unlicensed code. This setback in the California courts will be embarrassing to the Chinese government who, only this week, announced new measures to crack down on counterfeiting of products, intellectual property and trademarks in the country in response to World Trade Organisation ruling in January.China Real Time, image [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| In a world of phones that don’t (explode) unfortunately Droid does. [Video] [TNW Mobile] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 06:19 PM PST
According to the story (video below), a North Texas man was talking on his cell phone, identified by our Brad and Adam as a Motorola Droid 2 from Verizon Wireless, this morning, when the device exploded. The man, Aron Embry, had finished a call on the device purchased two days prior, when he said he heard a loud “pop.” At that point his ear began to bleed profusely, and he was rushed to the ER at Dallas' Parkland Memorial Hospital. Thankfully Embry only needed four stitches and suffered no hearing loss. No word on whether the hearing test consisted of Embry being asked, "Can you hear me now?" On a bright note? the phone still appears to be functioning, and its battery was intact. A scary situation for Embry and one that cell phone users should take note of as this isn't the first instance of an exploding phone causing injury or even death. Moreover, exploding cell phones are not limited to a particular brand or region of the world. In August, a 23-year old Indian man was killed when his Nokia 1209 exploded. In May, a man's Samsung Rogue from Verizon exploded in his face, causing eye injuries. And not even Apple's immune from exploding cell phones. Over a dozen cases of exploding iPhone 3GS devices around the world were reported last year alone. Concerning the Droid 2, Motorola advises in part:
Addressing the issue on their own, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued warnings for all cell phone users. Among the tips released by the CPSC were making sure your cell phone is compatible with your battery. Also, it warned users to keep batteries away from metal objects while phones are not in use. Phones should also be kept away from liquids and users should be careful that they do not overheat. Have you or someone you’ve known had a cell phone explode? What type of phone was the culprit and did the explosion occur through no fault of the owner?

| Japanese create device that allows candy to taste like anything – even fireworks [TNW Shareables] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 05:58 PM PST
Well, you should know, sight isn’t the only sense that can be augmented. Keio University in Japan has come up with a device that can apparently augment taste. They call it, TagCandy. Here’s how it works. You stick a lollipop in at one end of the device and it can be any lollipop you buy at a store. You put the candy in your mouth and the device then uses speakers to make the lollipop vibrate. Evidently, by controlling these vibrations, the device allows the user to experience all kinds of textures inside your mouth like crisp apple, fizzy soda or, that’s right. Fireworks and airplanes. Here’s how they explain it:
Apparently, all of the sensations are downloaded to the device although it isn’t exactly clear how that is accomplished. If this thing ever makes it to the mainstream, and it might considering it took home two awards at the 2010 International Student Virtual Reality Contest, then they absolutely, positively must make Gene Wilder their spokesman. Anything less would be a travesty.

| Google reportedly closes $1.9 billion deal for NYC building [TNW Google] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 05:28 PM PST According to the Wall Street Journal, Google has signed a contract to purchase a building in New York City that takes up an entire city block. The price tag? Reportedly $1.9 billion. Citing “people familiar with the matter” the WSJ says that the sale is the largest amount paid for a single building in the United States in 2010. Google already has its NYC offices in the building at 111 Eight Avenue as we previously reported in October. As we said then:
We’ve emailed Google for confirmation and/or comment. Update: Google got back to us, saying “We have no comment here.” [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Microsoft Research has cooked up ‘Zozzle,’ a tool to detect malicious JavaScript [TNW Microsoft] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 05:16 PM PST
We are discussing your security, to be specific. The smart folk over at Redmond have cooked up a powerful new tool called Zozzle that helps protect people from malicious JavaScript that could contain malware. As you well know, Microsoft products are just recently beginning to shed their stigma of being wildly unsafe and prone to being compromised. Zozzle is as wonderful as it is far off; as it stands now there are no current plans to release Zozzle to the public. That however does not stop the concept from being very interesting. To prevent us from muddying the technology of the product, this is the nutshell-version of what Zozzle does as explained by the very important and lovely ThreatPost (condensed):
We find this to be a killer interesting idea, and one that appears to have been brilliantly executed thus far. While a one percent (or so) false positive rate feels too high for mass release, this is the sort of product that Microsoft could bake into Internet Explorer 9 to give it another leg up on the competition in the ever-burning browser wars. While that would be a good move competitively, we would like it even more if Microsoft released the project and its methods to the community to tinker with and deploy in other products around the web. We’ll try and bring you more neat stuff from Microsoft Research when we come across it. For fun, this is a picture of a bunch of the Research staff, hi guys!

| Yahoo Japan gets approval to use Google search [TNW Asia] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 04:02 PM PST
Ruling that the alliance that was announced in July of this year will not hurt competition, the FTC decision will not only bring Google search to Yahoo’s Japan website, but also can reportedly be used on mobiles as well. "Competition between Google and Yahoo Japan, as well as others in the online advertising market, will remain vigorous," a Google spokesperson in Japan told Bloomberg. However, a group of Japanese lawmakers still want the FTC to investigate the partnership – we are unsure of how likely it is that request will be considered/acted upon. Yahoo has a had a long and winding road in Asia, including basically giving up in China (though at the same time it bought 40% of Alibaba at a bargain price, which now accounts for a lot its overall value). However, Japan has long been a shining star for Yahoo, where – unlike in the US where it has seen Facebook eclipse it – it continues to be super-popular. Will this deal help it moving forward? We’ll just have to wait and see.Bloomberg, Reuters [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| ‘The Social Network’ Wins Best Picture, Director, Actor, Screenplay from NBR [TNW Media] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 03:03 PM PST
Calling the film a “timeless drama [that] explores the moment at which Facebook, the most revolutionary social phenomenon of the new century, was invented and the resulting lawsuits,” the prestigious film award is considered one of the season’s early benchmarks for the Academy Awards, and a virtual sweep like this should almost guarentee that ‘The Social Network’ will at least be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Of course, the director of the film was David Fincher (who previous directed ‘Seven’ and ‘Fight Club’ among others), Aaron Sorkin (of ‘The West Wing’ fame) wrote the screenplay and Jesse Eisenberg won for Best Actor for his portrayal of Facebook c0-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Speaking of Zuckerberg, he will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday, with one of the main topics being ‘The Social Network’ which he has seemingly begrudgingly accepted as just a fact of his extraordinarily life. We offered two separate reviews of the film, both very positive. So, have you seen the film? Do you think it is deserving of these awards?

| HTC: We won’t know if Windows Phone 7 is a success until 2011 [TNW Microsoft] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 02:53 PM PST
According to a Digitimes report, sales reports won’t be ‘accurate’ until 2011 in regards to “Europe and US sales,” forcing HTC to withhold judgement on the fortunes of the phone line. However, the same report did state that “early sales of WP7 devices look promising.” Digitimes goes on to claim that Windows Phone 7 has a problem: “substantial market penetration will have to wait until the introduction of different language versions.” How big of an impact that has currently we are not sure, but there is chatter among potential consumers about language problems on the Microsoft forums. Informal counting of Windows Phone 7 sales is spotty, and not very encouraging. In all seriousness, everyone who has been trying to read the tea leaves as to just how the WP7 line is doing has come up short thus far. It looks like we are going to have quite a wait on our hands before we can really know one way or the other. What can we do in the mean time? Watching the social world for mentions to gauge consumer sentiment can’t hurt, but it won’t accomplish very much. Perhaps all those buy one get one free deals will pay off in terms of units sold, even if it hurts the phones’ profitability out of the gate. What we can tell you is that we are tracking hits to TNW from people on Windows Phone 7, and the numbers just keep going up. If that ever slows down, we’ll let you know.Digitimes [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Foursquare rolls out a host of new badges [TNW Social Media] Posted: 02 Dec 2010 02:43 PM PST
The new badges, per usual, fall into two groups. The first are surprise badges, ones that are only unlocked if you do certain things. So, you’ll have to figure those out for yourself. A good example of this? The recent “Baggage Handler” badge that was inspired by the TSA and its increased security measures at airports in the United States. Not all of them are secret though. Here are some of the new ones that Foursquare revealed and are part of the group that the company says are to “encourage and reward certain behaviors.” Here are some of the ones that were recently added:
The Hangover badge is sure to be an instant favorite, we’re sure of it. Many of these so-called ‘encouragement’ badges will show up in your new Trophy Case and if you hover over the ones that appear grayed out, you’ll be able to see what you need to do in order to obtain them. And for the badge obsessed, keep an eye on Foursquare’s Twitter account count in the near future for more badge roll outs. So, keep an eye out.

If you missed it, the Dell Venue Pro is on sale now for shipping on the 9th with two different price points of $99 and $149 depending on capacity, both assuming a new contract. What else do you need to know about the Venue Pro? It is packing a 1 Ghz processor, a 4.1″ screen, a slider keyboard (a big plus for Blackberry fans), 8 or 16 gigabyte capacity, and a 5 mp camera. When the Windows Phone 7 line launched in the US, the Venue Pro was among one of the most anticipated gadgets.

| Posted: 02 Dec 2010 01:48 PM PST Motorola may steal the show at Motorola President Dan Moloney, yesterday at the Reuters Global Media Summit, revealed interesting information on the company’s plans for CES 2011. According to the Reuters story:
However, Moloney did hint that the media streaming device may be utilized by cable and/or satellite TV providers to engender consumer loyalty by giving offering mobile or semi-mobile video for free. Certainly the media streaming device is nice, but the real showstoppers from Motorola are expected to come from the announcements of a new smartphone and tablet device.
According to what we know, the MotoPad will reportedly feature a 7-inch screen and run Android 3.0. Alternatively, if a leaked Verizon roadmap is correct, which called the device “Stingray,” the tablet released may feature a 10-inch screen, 16GB of on-board storage, a NVIDIA Tegra 2, and have LTE capabilities. What appears to be clear is Motorola is working on at least one tablet, possibly two, both with specs that easily beat those of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab.
The device is expected to feature a 4-inch display, a Whether Motorola releases 4 devices at CES 2011 (assuming 2 tablets exist), or a combination of any of the products above, 2011 is shaping up to be quite a year for Motorola. And as always, TNW will be right there to provide you with what you need to know. What device(s) do you think we’re likely to see from Motorola at CES 2011?
