GE’s G3WP waterproof pointand-shoot snoozefest

Gateway slips out 17-inch P7808u FX multimedia laptop

MAR 07, 2009 04:31A.M.

Of all the 12.2 megapixel cameras we’ve seen from General Imaging this week, this is certainly one of them. But that ain’t all — it’s waterproof up to 10 feet! Pretty awesome, right? The G3 WP fits in nicely with the rest of the new GE-branded lineup, including 4x optical zoom, auto scene detection, and pan-capture panorama. This guy sports a 2.7-inch LCD and ambient light sensor, with no word yet on price or availability. And to its credit, it does look more like a camera than our other waterproof offering this week. Additional pic and PR after the break.

Gateway’s been on a roll of late with its bargain-minded laptops, so it’s no shock to see the trend continue with its latest addition to the FX lineup. The P-7808u FX is a 17-incher that’s geared towards multimedia freaks, and aside from the lackluster WXGA panel, the specs aren’t half bad for the price. We’re talkin’ a 2GHz Core 2 Quad CPU, NVIDIA’s GeForce 9800M GTS graphics card (1GB of GDDR3 included), 4GB of DDR3 memory, an 8x dual-layer DVD writer, 500GB SATA hard drive, 5-in-1 multicard reader, a stately nine-cell battery, WiFi, three USB 2.0 sockets, FireWire, eSATA and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. All 9.05 pounds can be ordered up from J&R right now for $1,699.99, and hey, they’ll even cover the shipping. Bonus score.

How would you change Helio’s Ocean 2? MAR 07, 2009 03:26A.M.

MAR 07, 2009 03:05A.M. It’s hard to say which had a worse week: the U.S. economy or the Republican Party. Unemployment rose to 8.1 percent on Friday, the highest in more than a quarter of a century, while Republicans continued to squabble among themselves, and their chairman faced a call to resign. President Obama, meanwhile, held a bipartisan health care summit at which everyone agreed—surprise!—that something needed to be done. Disagreement came over what that something is. [more ...]

Some Indie Facebook Developers Pulling In Over $700,000 A Month MAR 07, 2009 02:44A.M.

Ah, the Ocean 2. The handset Helio loyalists have been clamoring for since, well, forever ago. After seeing the OZ2 break cover in the FCC last March, we wondered just how long it’d take for this thing to ever go on sale — and that was assuming it even would go on sale. Now, Earthlings just like yourself can buy the handset for a buck forty-nine on contract, and given that hordes of you Helio faithful already have, we’re now ready to hear how you’d change it. Is the fit and finish up to snuff? Is it the “3G Social Networking Powerhouse” you thought it would be? Are you digging the color scheme? Are you making others envious, or simply becoming envious of others? You’ve waited a long, long time for this opportunity — don’t blow it.

Intel develops multi-computer display linking, the commercial writes itself

While SocialMedia declined to name the company in question, it confirmed that it was not one of the large social application developers like Playfish, SGN, and Zynga who have raised large funding rounds and have been rumored to pull in over $1 million a month.

MAR 07, 2009 02:41A.M.

The news reaffirms Facebook’s position alongside the iPhone as a place to get rich quick (at least for a lucky few). SocialMedia also notes that it has several other independent clients who are making over $100,000 a month. Of course, such results are uncommon, but no more so than they are on the App Store. Also worth noting is that these revenues are entirely based on advertising, while most of the success stories we’ve heard on the App Store have been from premium apps. Facebook isn’t likely to unveil its own premium apps any time soon, but if it ever gets around to launching the payment platform it announced last year, these success stories will probably become far more common.

Suddenly, they all hold their devices next to each other in a two-by-two grid pattern and the four screens become one as their voices, too, join in harmony — which is exactly what Intel touts its newly-developed multi-client display linking can do. Except for the harmony part, that’s all ‘N Sync. In a word? Beautiful. It’s all part of Intel’s MID-centric “Carry Small, Live Large” initiative. We’re not taking bets on whether or not this feature will make a cameo in its upcoming joint venture with LG or any device in the foreseeable future, but it’s definitely something’s that piqued our interest.

Having inherited an undifferentiated mass of legal “war on terror” doctrine from the Bush administration’s constitutional chop shop, President Obama finds himself in the position of being Bush’s SecretKeeper. Picking its way warily through a minefield of secrecy and privacy claims, the Obama administration this week released nine formerly classified legal opinions produced in the Office of Legal Counsel (while holding back others that are being sought) and brokered a deal whereby Karl Rove and Harriet Miers will finally testify about the U.S. attorney firings (but not publicly). Meanwhile, the administration clings to its bizarre decision to hold fast to the Bush administration’s allencompassing view of the “state secrets” privilege, and the Nixonian view of executive power deployed to justify it. The Obama administration has also been quick to embrace the Bush view of secrecy in cases involving the disclosure of Bush era e-mails and has dragged its feet in various other cases seeking Bush-era records. If there is a coherent disclosure principle at work here, I have yet to discern it.

Confused? There’s more background here and here. But the important takeaway is that Hulu — or more accurately, Hulu’s TV progammer owners — are signaling to their partners — the big cable companies — that they’re willing to pull back on Web access to their shows. And Boxee, which has $4 million in financing from Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital, is signalling that it’s willing to dig in and fight.

I then read Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man and Richard Ellmann’s excellent biography of Joyce, and my second attempt — which yielded a great deal of pleasure and laughter — came much closer to success. Ulysses remains my favorite novel. Well, I made it through Portrait as a horny and repressed Catholic teenager (such, such were the joys) but haven’t read Ellmann. Loved his Wilde biography though.

Just in case anyone was wondering: Hulu, the Web video service that lets you watch Fox and NBC shows on your computer, really doesn’t want you to plug that computer into your TV. SLATE MAGAZINE And Boxee, a startup that makes it easy for you to plug your computer into your TV so you can watch Web video, doesn’t care.

What’s new in Time, the Economist, and the New York Review of Books.

Got it? Here’s where we’re at: Early this morning, Boxee rolled out a workaround which let Boxee users watch Hulu shows again, which they haven’t been able to do since last month, when Hulu pulled its shows off Boxee’s browser. Late this afternoon, Hulu squelched that workaround.

Some foresaw the subsequent crash, but few spoke up. “The people who saw it coming had more to gain from it by taking short positions than they did by trying to publicize the problem.” Pop-anthropological explanations include Iceland’s prior reliance on fishing and the bizarre relationship between the sexes there. ...

And as of now (8:51pm eastern), CEO Avner Ronen tells me, his team has made another series of tweaks that will let you watch Hulu shows on Boxee yet again. Ronen says he’s not quite sure about the technical details, but argues that his service has every right to let you watch Hulu on your television, since Hulu is a free Web service that anyone (in the U.S. can access). But he is sorry that he’s now playing cat-and-mouse with Hulu, a joint venture between GE’s NBC (GE) and News Corp.’s Fox (NWS). “It’s not a very productive way to spend our time,” Ronen says.

Fed”s Hoenig: “Too Big Has Failed” MAR 07, 2009 01:15A.M. This is important dissension in the reserve system ranks. Here is Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig explaining why current bank policy has failed, and why we’re already nationalizing banks, but doing it wrongly. We have been slow to face up to the fundamental problems in our financial system and reluctant to take decisive action with respect to failing institutions. ... We have been quick to provide liquidity and public capital, but we have not defined a consistent plan and not addressed the basic shortcomings and, in some cases, the insolvent position of these institutions.

It looks like that AT&T strike authorized by the Communications Workers of America back in early February won’t be coming to fruition. The two have reached a tentative agreement for the around 20,000 unionized workers that have been in contract negotations. For its part, AT&T’s expressed satisfaction with the agreement, but it still has to be submitted for approval by ratification vote from the CWA group members. Of course, should they vote nay, we’ll be back to square one. This isn’t over yet, so stay tuned.

We suspect it’s both testing for best compatibility / range and waiting to see if UWB will remain viable in the coming months, which likely means no shipping product for quite some time. For what it’s worth, the on-hand demo was stellar, with no visible lag, glitches or dropped frames to speak of.

Cisco Buying Flip Camcorder Maker Pure Digital?

MAR 07, 2009 12:14A.M.

MAR 07, 2009 12:25A.M.

Cisco (CSCO), looking to move deeper into the consumer electronics industry, is reportedly buying Flip camcorder maker Pure Digital for more than $500 million, TechCrunch reports. (Welcome back, Mike Arrington!) The company reportedly had sales around $150 million last year, most of which came before it released its new, pricier HD camera in November. If those sales figures are right, a $500 million deal isn’t crazy. According to TechCrunch, Pure Digital has raised nearly $70 million from Sequoia Capital, Benchmark Capital, Crescendo Ventures, Focus Ventures, Morgan Stanley, AllianceBernstein and Disney’s (DIS) Steamboat Ventures.

Samsung has already offered up plenty of press shots of its new NX Series “hybrid” camera, but we’re guessing most folks are still a bit more interested in some up-close, unpolished shots of the not-quite-compact, even if it is being kept just out of the reach of the teeming masses at PMA. In case this one slipped past your radar, the big news here is the camera’s use of an APS-C sized image sensor, which is normally only found on full-size DSLRs, and should result in some better than usual shots from a camera this size. Better still, that means you’ll also still be able to attach at least a few different lenses to the camera, which you can catch a glimpse of by hitting up the links below.

Flip cameras - dead simple and small video devices that are tailored towards users who want to upload video to the Internet - have become massively popular. One source says the company has sold more than $200 million worth of the tiny cameras in the last couple of years. Based on reviews of the recently released Flip Mino HD, we’re not surprised.

The latest move just seems “cold blooded,” as now boxee users who attempt to surf over via a Hulu RSS feed link will be greeted with an infinite amount of nothing. boxee is quick to point out that its browser doesn’t access Hulu content “any differently” than IE, Firefox, Opera or any other browser, which does a good job of explaining just how deliberate this move is. Needless to say, we get the feeling this bout is just getting started.

Hulu Gets Nasty, Blocks Boxee Browser From Videos

Korea’s Yang grabs Florida lead

MAR 06, 2009 11:50P.M.

MAR 06, 2009 11:51P.M.

Old media’s war against technology just escalated: Hulu, the Web video site owned by Fox (NWS) and NBC (GE), just blocked Boxee, a Web TVspecialized browser, from accessing its videos. (What’s Boxee? See explanation at bottom.)

SECOND ROUND LEADERBOARD: -7 YE Yang (Kor) -6 W MacKenzie (US), R Allenby (Aus), J Overton (US) -5 B Crane (US) -4 D Mathis (US) -3 A Cejka (Ger), G Chalmers (NZ), J Rollins (US), H Frazar (US), J Nitties (Aus), J Klauk (US) Selected others: -2 R McIlroy (NIre) -1 S Garcia (Spa) +1 G Owen (Eng), D Clarke (NIre) +3 E Els (SA)

Specifically, this means that Hulu videos can’t be watched on Boxee’s new video RSS reader, while Hulu’s content will (presumably) still work with other Web browsers and RSS readers. This is sort of along the lines of Microsoft hypothetically blocking Mac users from Hotmail. Why would Hulu do this?

South Korea’s Yong-Eun Yang fired a second-round 65 to grab a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens.

Its old media backers have big reasons to squash software like Boxee, which makes it easier to watch Web TV on your TV. Big media wants you to watch real TV on your TV, and Web TV on your computer. That’s because TV ads and cable subscriber fees keep the lights on at NBC. Not the relatively tiny trickle of Internet ad revenue that Hulu generates.

Yang edged to seven under to leapfrog overnight leader Robert Allenby of Australia and Americans Will MacKenzie and Jeff Overton. Northern Irish teenager Rory McIlroy maintained his challenge with a round of 68 to finish two under.

And as NBC renegotiates its carrier deal with Comcast (CMCSA), the biggest U.S. cable company, it’ll probably do anything it can to show Comcast that it’s fighting services like Boxee, which threaten cable. (Comcast lost 233,000 cable TV subscribers last quarter. Not because of Hulu. But someday, it could be.)

Spain’s Sergio Garcia carded a two-over 72 to slip back to one under. Darren Clarke dropped back to one over with a 71, while England’s Greg Owen climbed to one over after a 69.

Last month, Boxee removed its popular Hulu section at Hulu’s request, with the hope that meetings with Hulu’s backers would enlighten them to the fact that Boxee is only making their Web efforts more consumerfriendly. That didn’t go so well. So today, Boxee introduced a new videospecialized RSS reader that could play video from Hulu’s public RSS feeds. Now, that’s dead, too.

Ernie Els carded a level-par 70 to make the cut on the number at three over but England’s Brian Davis (72) and Justin Rose (79) and Scotland’s Martin Laird (76) all missed out on the weekend. Story from BBC SPORT: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/sport2/hi/golf/7929752.stm

In a blog post, Boxee CEO Avner Ronen vows to keep working around Hulu’s shunning. “To our users: if you choose to use Boxee as your media browser to view legal and publicly available content on the Internet, we will do everything we can to ensure that you can access it, no matter what the source.”

Published: 2009/03/06 23:51:08 GMT © BBC MMIX

But Boxee has probably lost any goodwill it had with Hulu. So don’t expect it to work as well as Boxee’s initial Hulu gallery. This will probably piss off some Boxee users enough to stop using Hulu and start watching shows from BitTorrent or pirate sites like MegaVideo.com, which comScore said was the no. 10 most popular video site in the U.S. during January. But Hulu’s growing fast enough that its backers will probably never even notice. All while feeling powerful that they squashed some tiny — yet innovative, and really useful — disruption named Boxee.

Pluto’s sullied celestial reputation has been restored. In brazen defiance of the International Astronomical Union–which famously demoted Pluto to dwarf planet in 2006–the State of Illinois this week passed a resolution restoring Pluto’s planetary status. In Illinois, anyway. Apparently, Clyde Tombaugh, who first discovered the planet, was born on a farm there.

“WHEREAS, Pluto was unfairly downgraded to a ‘dwarf’ planet in a vote in which only 4 percent of the International Astronomical Union’s 10,000 scientists participated,” the resolution reads. “And WHEREAS, Many respected astronomers believe Pluto’s full planetary status should be restored; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that as Pluto passes overhead through Illinois’ night skies, that it be reestablished with full planetary status, and that March 13, 2009 be declared ‘Pluto Day’ in the State of Illinois in honor of the date its

While wireless USB hasn’t exactly, um, taken off, there’s definitely still some promise here. We swung by the USB-IF’s booth today at CeBIT in order to have a look at a new single-chip Fujitsu Siemens’ solution along with IOGEAR’s recently released Wireless USB Audio / Video Kit. The former is mostly a European version of the Wisair Wireless USB Display Adapter Set, and while the latter seemed to work perfectly fine in the demo, the resolution was decidedly not 1080p. Nowhere close, actually. We reckon this stuff will get some real traction if and when two things happen: 1) the industry embraces it and begins embedding it into products (no one likes dongles, sorry!), and 2) when prices fall to reasonable levels. Can we get somebody on that, or what?

In Europe, VoIP Grows & Grows MAR 06, 2009 11:15P.M. Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay, once famously said that voice was going to be free. She was wrong in ponying up billions of dollars for Skype, but she was right in her assertion about voice. Thanks to European broadband service providers treating voice as a loss leader to attract triple-play customers, local voice has become almost free in Europe, according to research conducted by Telegeography, a division of market research firm PriMetrica. In 2008, VoIP represented 26 percent of total fixed lines in Europe but brought in only 10 percent of the total fixed-line revenues. I bet a big chunk of the VoIP-related revenues are coming from VoIP-to-mobile phone calls. Mobile calls are seriously expensive in Europe, and as a result, any attempts by mobile VoIP companies such as Truphone have been met with resistance by the carriers.

If you haven’t heard about PlayOn, MediaMall’s PC-to-console video streaming software, you will soon. Moving to become a major player in the streaming content world, PlayOn has grabbed some huge wins lately, and it doesn’t look like they’re planning on slowing down. In a software update hitting today, PlayOn has added streaming support for Amazon’s Video on Demand service along with content from Revision3.

Telegeography estimates that there were more than 35 million European households with VoIP service in 2008. That’s up from just 1.9 million VoIP lines in service in Europe in 2004. Telegeography also estimates that, during every quarter of 2008, more than 2 million homes signed up for VoIP service. Just to give context, in the U.S., we had about 19.4 million VoIP subscribers at the end of 2008. In 2004, there were 1.2 million VoIP lines. Telegeography analysts estimate that Europe will continue to exceed U.S. growth in VoIP lines.

PlayOn is available for $40, and currently compatible with the PS3 and Xbox 360. You just install the server software on your PC, then stream the content over your network back to your console of choice. It’s well known that PlayOn is working on adding Wii compatibility, which ought to make it the dominant force in the console streaming market. This news comes just days after the announcement that Roku has added Amazon VoD support to their $99 player, and the service has found its way to TiVo boxes and Sony Bravia TVs as well. If you’re not looking to add a new box to your AV set, PlayOn seems like a fairly solid alternative. PlayOn has long supported Hulu, CBS.com, ESPN.com, CNN.com, YouTube, and Netflix, and these latest additions are rounding things out nicely. Next up on PlayOn’s plate is ABC.com content, for which they’re currently in talks with ABC. It’s beginning to look more and more like the average joe won’t actually need cable or an antenna in order to stay entertained in their living room. We’ve just started putting PlayOn through the paces, but we like what we see so far - if you want to check it out for yourself, a 2 week trial is available at their site.

Household penetration of VoIP telephony at mid-year 2008 ranged from slightly less than 50 percent in France to less than 3 percent in Spain, and annual subscriber growth rates ranged from 544 percent in Portugal to a comparatively anemic 13 percent in Norway.

[via Audioholics] Crunch Network: CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.

One of the main reasons why France is so far ahead of rest of Europe is because of the presence of a truly disruptive company: Iliad, which offers a flat rate triple rate service under the brand Free. (Related article: Xavier Niel, France’s Broadband Maverick). Free’s offering forced everyone — including incumbent France Telecom — to offer similar, simpler triple-play plans, resulting in increased VoIP penetration.

Phoebe in Wonderland reviewed. MAR 06, 2009 10:50P.M.

So now that the company is giving up its entire source of revenue, how is it planning to make money? I spoke with CEO Kevin Rivers, who explains that the site is moving towards launching a music-based social network with rich music widgets and a community of fans and artists (it sounds like it will compete against sites like MySpace Music). Users will also be able to buy songs through an online storefront, with advertising as the primary source of revenue. The move to make WaTune’s distribution service free is designed to attract a variety of independent artists to the music social network, which he says will launch around June.

Phoebe in Wonderland (THINKfilm), the debut film of writer/director Daniel Barnz, has an overeager, please-love-me quality. Its fancifulness is at times too clunky, its pathos too strained. (The film, produced in part by the Lifetime channel, has some of the PSA-style earnestness of a Lifetime “issue” movie.) But Barnz has a secret weapon, one that’s 4 feet tall and looks to weigh about 60 pounds: Elle Fanning, the 10-year-old younger sister of Dakota, who plays the disturbed but delightful heroine, Phoebe. [more ...]

While this seems like a great deal for artists, it also sounds a little too good to be true. There are already many online music communities, and even if WaTunes does begin to distribute music for a large number of artists, I still don’t see how they’ll be able to convert them into new users on their music portal. That said, free is free, so I doubt WaTunes will have any trouble attracting new artists for the time being.
