Easy cell phone recycling

The nation's leading cell phone makers, service providers, and retailers have teamed up with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to answer America's call for easy cell phone recycling. As part of EPA's Plug-In to eCycling program, partners supporting the cell phone recycling campaign include AT&T Wireless, Best Buy, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Office Depot, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Sprint, Staples, and T-Mobile.

o kick-off the campaign, EPA released today a series of print public service announcements, "Recycle Your Cell Phone. It's An Easy Call," which highlight the convenience and environmental and social benefits of recycling a cell phone. EPA also introduced a podcast that addresses many common questions on cell phone recycling. EPA started the campaign because many consumers still do not know where or how they can recycle their unwanted cell phones. Consequently, less than 20 percent of unwanted cell phones are recycled each year.

Dodge Truck Radiator

If your Dodge truck is more than five or six years old, you may notice that your engine is running a little hotter that it used to, and you may have radiator problems. You should expect to start having radiator problems by the time your truck enters its sixth year of life.

The fact is that over time, environmental factors such as humidity, road salts and debris, hard water and chemical reactions will take a toll on the metal from which your Dodge Truck Radiator is constructed giving you radiator problems.

Typically, radiator problems can be slowed, but not completely stopped. Fortunately, you will find at Radiators.com the right replacement for your Dodge truck at the best price possible.

Google in NTT DoCoMo

NTT DoCoMo, the largest mobile operator in Japan, will sign a deal with Google in order to offer e-mail and web search services via the company's mobile phones. From the second quarter of 2008, NTT DoCoMo's subscribers will be able to access, directly from their handsets, Google's features (e-mail, photo-saving or scheduling) via the carrier's i-Mode Internet network. NTT DoCoMo also plans to work on a next-generation device to run on Google's free mobile operating system, Android. The device should be ready somewhere at the end of 2008 and could represent the beginning of a new era for high-end mobile phones.

Japan is one of the few countries where Yahoo! has a higher market share than Google: Yahoo! Japan holds more than 60 % of the market while Google only has a bit over 27 %. This being said, it's clear that Google tries to take advantage of NTT DoCoMo's position as the first mobile operator in Japan. The carrier currently provides mobile and multimedia services to more than 50 million subscribers and, since about 70 % of the mobile users access the web through their handsets, Google's market share in Japan has all the chances to reach a considerable growth rate thanks to the announced agreement.

Ads to your cell phone coming

Your cell phone is a potential gold mine for marketers: It can reveal where you are, whom you call and even what music you like. Considering the phone is usually no more than a few feet away, these are powerful clues for figuring out just the right moment to deliver the right coupon for the store just around the corner. But first marketers will have to wrest the personal profiles from mobile carriers worried that annoyed subscribers might defect to rivals. Carriers are now guarding the data zealously, but many people believe it's only a matter of time, over the next year or two, before marketers can routinely target ads to a potential customer's location and actions.

All Inclusive Cancun Vacation

The best hotel rates in Mexico come with the most strings attached. Check cancellation policies carefully, and find out if parking is included; take that into account when comparing rates. Check the local calendar to see what major events are happening during your All Inclusive Cancun Vacation . An arts festival can dramatically inflate room rates in an ordinarily sleepy seaside town.

Business travel drops during the summer months, however, which makes this a good time to visit major cities. You can get a lot of luxury for less by booking a bargain summer weekend at a hotel that normally caters to business travelers. Meanwhile, weekends at traditional summer destinations can be ferociously busy, so consider a midweek stay.

HTC Touch review

HTC Touch comes to challenge the PDA landscape and prove that Pocket PCs can compete with what some would call 'fashion phones'. The main advantages of the device are its stylish design and interface and the innovatory TouchFlo technology which simplifies finger-based operation and tries to make the use of the stylus only a matter of choice. The HTC Touch is also known under the names P3450 and Elf, the latter suiting it well if we consider its diminutive size. Several operators are offering rebranded versions of the PDA under different names, such as MDA Touch from T-Mobile and XDA Nova from O2. The HTC Touch can be purchased at a price of about $500, or less if bought with a mobile operator contract.

Of course, one can not overlook the context in which the Touch appeared: the near launch of the iPhone. According to HTC, the Touch spent more than two years in development, so the eventual similarities between the two devices are simple coincidences. The matter is not that important though, as the devices address different segments of the market, with the Touch probably being favored by those looking for a productivity tool, while the iPhone is a multimedia phone (at least until Apple decides to make 3rd party applications available for the iPhone).

Motorola plans to launch its next-generation Linux-based "Ming" handsets

Motorola plans to launch its next-generation Linux-based "Ming" handsets in the second quarter of 2008, with the hand input intelligence handsets to be available in both high-end and entry-level versions. Previously, the Ming was released only in a high-end version. While Motorola's R&D center in Beijing will continue to handle the development of the high-end version of the new Ming handsets, the US vendor will outsource the production of the new entry-level Ming handsets to the Taiwan-based Inventec Group, who also noted that the new Ming handsets will continue to support the 2.5G standard.

Motorola on December 17 launched its high-end 3.5G RAZR V9 in Taiwan, and the company plans to introduce in Taiwan a Symbian-based ROKR Z8, Windows Mobile-based Q9 and three entry-level models, including the W360 and W213, before the end of this year. Handsets supporting the 3G standard will account for 50% of all handsets sold in Taiwan in 2008, Chen projected.

Cabguards

There are a lot of different accessories that you can buy to dress up your truck. There are floor mats, spoilers, fancy wheels, cabguards and thousands of other items to help you personalize your vehicle. The two most important things to keep in mind however are safety and legality.

Make sure what you are planning to buy for your truck is legal in your state. Laws vary and what may be legal in Nevada may not be legal in New York. Don't assume that since it is sold, it must be legal. The one accessory that comes to mind to illustrate this is window tinting. There are states that allow windows to be tinted and others that strictly prohibit it. If you do a lot of interstate travel, that tinting may be legal where you live, but will get you a ticket in the next one you enter.

Nokia N-Gage gaming device

I'm sure many of you still remember the first Nokia N-Gage device. Some people have compared the original gaming phone to a plastic taco, and as such, it didn't go over quite as well as Nokia has hoped. Well, you already know about Nokia revitalizing the N-Gage branding in software form (starting with the N81), but they've also got new hardware too!

In this patent drawing, we see what could be the next-generation Nokia N-Gage gaming device. It'll naturally be a cell phone too, but it's definitely got a mobile gaming slant to it. In fact, there are handles that swing out much like the hand grips found on the PlayStation controller or the ones found on the GameCube controller. I'd say that the device looks alright as a handheld gaming machine, but how will it work as a cell phone? I think the N81 does a much better job in that respect.

Nokia Siemens Networks HSPA

Online learning are advantageous to students

There are many different reasons why online learning and distance education are advantageous to students. These reasons range all the way from making classes available to people in remote locations all the way down to cost effectiveness. A person living in one area no longer needs to travel to take the course that he/she wants to take, because the Internet is not bound by geography.

Convenience is another major advantage to online education from capella university . Students can take classes when they need them, not based on their university’s annual or semester schedule of when certain classes are offered. There is no time spent inside a classroom, and with modern day laptops and wireless technology, students can take their coursework with them anywhere.

IE8 passes the ACID2 test

It's good to see that IE8 passes the ACID2 test, but is it really completely standards compliant yet? And, as others have pointed out, what will happen to all the pages designed to run in IE before, will they design a system in the program that lets it render the "broken" code correctly? It's great, from a design perspective, that Microsoft finally ironed out this particular bug, but there are plenty more, and a lot more than will spring up, after this.

My final wish is that IE8 will work with WinXP. If it's Vista only, all of my enthusiasm is deflated. I want IE8 to be available to all modern Windows users. Scratch that, I want IE8 to be forced on all WindowsXP users and higher. Stick it in XP SP3 and make it a mandatory part of the service pack.

Cell phone chargers

Cell phone chargers may not be glamorous, but indeed, they can be indispensable when your phone loses power and you're on the go. And though a wide variety of such products exist, from the solar powered to the muscle powered, we prefer to get our emergency juice from more reliable sources. Like the Energizer Energi To Go that we reviewed last year, the Turbo Charge Tc2 portable cell phone charger from Voxred International runs on two AA batteries while sporting a simple, foolproof design. It delivers quick power to your phone and is more appealing than the Energi To Go or competing products from Tekkeon and the PlanOn. And unlike the emergency chargers from CellBoost, you can use the Turbo Charge multiple times. It's also reasonably priced at $24.95.

Getting your MBA online

If you have doubts about getting your MBA, you should remember that an MBA is an investment, with the payback coming in the shape of increased salary and career prospects after the degree. This needs to be factored in when choosing a capella university programme. What may at first seem expensive can in the longer view turn out to be a sound proposition? Note, too, that occasionally employers can be persuaded to contribute to the cost of an mba online , either by supporting an employee on a part-time programme, largely paying for an Executive MBA or even recompensing for the fees spent when hiring a newly graduated MBA.

3 ways to check coverage before you sign a cell phone contract

The most important thing to consider when choosing a cell-phone provider is whether there is good coverage in the areas you use your phone the most. Here are some ways to check coverage before you sign a contract.

1. All of the major carriers offer coverage maps where you can put in an address, intersection, ZIP code or city and see the strength of the coverage.

For T-Mobile, go to t-mobile.com/coverage; for Sprint, go to sprint.com/coverage; for Verizon Wireless, go to verizonwireless.com/b2c/CoverageLocatorController; for AT&T, go to wireless.att.com/coverageviewer.

2. When you go to one of these Web sites, first enter your home address to check the coverage around your house. You might want to also enter your work address, a relative or friend's address, or anywhere else you plan to make a lot of cell-phone calls.

3. If you are thinking of getting a data plan with your phone so you can surf the Web or send and receive e-mails, check the maps to see the strength of the data coverage.

Teenage internet users exposed to online pornography

The Internet is changing the way kids learn about the world around them; but unfortunately, not always for the better. Sure the information superhighway offers easy access to information when they have questions or need to complete school reports, but unfortunately that's not all our kids are finding.

According to a recent University of New Hampshire study, 42 percent of Internet users between the ages of 10 and 17 have been exposed to online pornography (defined in the study as images of naked people or people having sex). Of those, 66 percent said they did not want to view the images and had not sought them out. Many stumbled onto the X-rated images through other "normal" Internet use, including talking online with friends, visiting chat rooms and playing games.

Religious templates in your cell phone

An Italian company is offering a unique new service to cell phone subscribers who might be tempted to pay three euros to download an image of their favorite saint. A special SMS number will process orders for the images, according to the website www.santiprotettori.com (saint protectors). For an additional 50 cents (75 US), a "theme prayer" will be sent to the user each week.

The images include the main patron saints as well as Our Lady of Lourdes, Saint Pio of Pietrelcina -- one of Italy's most venerated saints, associated with supernatural events -- and San Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples whose blood preserved in a phial and is said to liquefy twice a year. Though not officially a saint, the widely-revered late pope John Paul II is among the subjects offered, as well as his successor Benedict XVI. The service is the brainchild of Barbara Labate, 31, who noticed that all her grandparents carried religious images around with them in their wallets.

An international cyber-crime center

Legislators in Canada are considering a bill to set up an international cyber-crime center, a kind of Interpol for the Internet, in Calgary, Alberta. The private members bill, currently before the Alberta Legislature, would allow the establishment of the Global Center for Securing Cyberspace in Calgary.

The center would not be a law enforcement agency, but rather a non-governmental collaborative enterprise combining research, advocacy and policing efforts. The center would reach out to form partnerships with law enforcement agencies in Canada and elsewhere. A statement from the association described the proposed entity as "an international center for the coordination and advancement of public safety, intelligence gathering, and government response related to the problem of cyber-crimes such as child exploitation, financial systems fraud, threats to critical infrastructure, intellectual property and identify theft."

SNOWCAP

Watching the snow and wondering whether your children have school or not? Just check your cell phone or email, thanks to a service Le Mars Community School subscribes to: SNOWCAP. When LCS and Gehlen Catholic School delay or cancel classes, LCS superintendent Todd Wendt immediately submits the announcement to SNOWCAP, which stands for Secure Notifications Of Weather/Urgent Cancellations and Postponements. SNOWCAP, based in Sioux City, turns around and pumps the message out to the local radio and TV stations.

But this year SNOWCAP is offering a service that will also send free alerts right to families' cell phones or email. Both LCS and Gehlen parents and families can use this service. The SNOWCAP concept, now in 344 schools and 128 businesses in the tri-state area, started in 1993 as a small service and has expanded to where their announcements feed directly into TV station's teleprompters.

Hosted VoIP service for SMBs

Timico, a UK-based provider of converged communication services, has partnered with Nortel to launch a tailor-made, hosted VoIP service for SMBs, incorporating a PC-based multimedia voice and video application that fully integrates with Microsoft Outlook messaging and collaboration client. This addition to Timico's VoIP for business service is expected to enable SMBs to improve efficiency and productivity by allowing them to dial colleagues, suppliers, business partners and customers using a click of the mouse within their Microsoft Outlook business application.

By combining the Nortel Application Server 5200 with Microsoft Outlook, the process of looking up a contact telephone number and picking up the phone to make the call can be shortened to a 'one click' access. If the call is made between two Timico VoIP for Business users, presence capabilities can be used to determine if the person being called is available, busy or away from their desk. The PC-based phone, within the VoIP for Business solution, has been established on Nortel's Application Server 5200 (AS5200) platform. The AS 5200 is Nortel's IMS-ready, SIP applications server, which integrates voice with video, collaboration and presence services to deliver next-generation unified communication services.

Silver has more room to grow

I think silver has more room to grow when you compare to the silver highs in the eighties.
The most important fact you have to remember, the largest mining companies in the world are not investing in finding more mines when the demand has already outnumbered the supply. Instead they are putting more funds in M&A activity. You can invest in silver through well famous and regulated companies like Monex Deposit Company (MDC). They can offer good advice for novice and professionals, and you can buy coins or ingots for your convenience.
I’m convinced that silver is definitely set to head up higher.

Nokia 6500 review

Nokia has tended to shy away from ultra-slim handsets. But, the Nokia 6500 Classic remedies that by measuring just 9.5mm thin. Available in either black or bronze, both colors look stunning. Although svelte, we were surprised as to how solid and sturdy it feels. So it should, as it's crafted from anodized aluminum, which is one of the most durable, yet lightweight materials around. What's more, the handset is individually diamond-polished, meaning no Nokia 6500 Classic is exactly the same.

The keys are a little fiddly to press because they're rather small, but the user interface is simple to use. Features are solid for a mid-range phone, with 3G (but no video calling), a reasonable two megapixel camera, good music player, stereo Bluetooth and 1GB of internal memory. Despite boasting 3G, the internet experience to be slightly sluggish with the screen struggling to fit in content. Meanwhile, the camera is capable but not awe inspiring, but the music player is excellent. The battery life is very acceptable for a mid-range phone.

Nokia Siemens opened an innovation center to develop software technologies

Nokia Siemens Network opened an innovation center to develop software technologies. The Innovation Software Park covers 22,000 square meters of a state-level high-tech industrialization zone in Hangzhou, a scenic city in east China's Zhejiang Province. More than 600 employees will carry out research in solutions for 2.5G, 3G, Wimax and I-HSPA mobile telecommunication technologies as well as develop relative software platforms, according to David Ho, president of Nokia Siemens Greater China Region.

It's the second largest wireless technology research base established by the world's leading network telecommunication company following the one in Finland. Nokia Siemens Network is a joint venture between Finland's Nokia and Germany's Siemens. It ranked second in the world's wireless network market and telecom service market, and the third in the world's cable network market. The company's net sales in the Great China Region reached 372 million euros in the third quarter of this year, up 26 percent on the second quarter. The company now has six research and development centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.

China Mobile expects to finish building 3G networks

China's largest mobile phone network operator is testing one of the first handsets designed for China's 3G (third generation) network that runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.0 OS. China Mobile expects to finish building 3G networks in eight cities by the end of this year and at least 10 by the time the Summer Olympic Games open in Beijing next August. It is testing dozens of handsets for the networks, which are based on a home grown technology called TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access). Among the phones being tested is the S876 from Taiwan's Inventec Appliances (IAC), which may become the first 3G handset running Windows Mobile 6.0 to launch in China. While it's hard to definitively hand the crown to IAC, it was the only handset maker to offer details of a finished device at the GSM Association's Mobile Asia Congress in Macau earlier this month.

The handset was being tested, and an IAC executive sent photos and further details of the phone to IDG News Service. However, other handset makers, including Zhejiang Holley Communications (Holley Comm), have been working on Windows Mobile 6.0-based 3G handsets for China as well. IAC's S876 will be available to Chinese users in the second quarter of 2008. The handset is a dual mode device, able to switch from 3G TD-SCDMA to GSM/GPRS (Global System for Mobile Telecommunications/General Packet Radio Service) and includes a 2.4-inch touch screen, 3-megapixel auto-focus camera and micro SD card slot. It also has a CCITT (Comité Consultatif International Téléphonique et Télégraphique) keypad with touch wheel control.

U.S. retailers may see record holiday Internet purchases

U.S. retailers may see record holiday Internet purchases after slashing prices on high- definition televisions and leather jackets to attract customers over the Thanksgiving weekend. Promotions by Walmart.com and Circuit City Stores Inc. may push online spending above $700 million today, a single-day best, Reston, Virginia-based ComScore Inc. estimated. Retailers are offering discounts available only online to attract people to their sites as consumers spend less in the face of higher food and fuel costs. Walmart.com is selling Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 with a game and accessories today for $399, less than the $479.66 it would normally cost.

Consumer purchases over the Internet rose 29 percent on Thanksgiving Day and 22 percent the day after, known as Black Friday, ComScore said. Spending on so-called Cyber Monday, promoted by the NRF as the first online shopping day after the weekend, probably will exceed either of those days as people return to work. Online visits on Black Friday, called that because it was considered the day that retailers traditionally turned a profit for the year, increased 10 percent from a year earlier.

Upgrade your Nokia N800

For N800 owners, the upcoming arrival of Nokia’s N810 internet tablet may not be that exciting. It’s always great to see new technology, but when it comes at the expense of your device it’s just not as much fun. Even if you don’t plan on upgrading to the N810, which brings along a slide-out keyboard, faster CPU, and a better looking exterior, there is something to be happy about. That something is OS2008, the operating system that will be found on the N810 and is based on Maemo 4.0. The upgrade will be available on the N800 shortly (probably a few weeks) after the N810 arrives and it will definitely breath some new life into your N800.

The big news lately though is that a number of sites have posted on how to upgrade your N800 before the official release. Easy to follow instructions are available and all you need to do the job is your N800, an internet connection, and access to a Linux operating system. From my experience the upgrade is easy to do and takes under thirty minutes. The chance of bricking your N800 seems low, but problems like that are always a possibility so make sure to back up first and proceed at your own risk. You don’t need a dedicated Linux system, you just need to get at the terminal for a bit. You could use a Linux system, but if you don’t have one you could use a LiveCD or, as I did, VMware and a Linux image. I used VMware’s Player along with Debian, but that is just one possibility. Once you have this setup it’s just a matter of plugging in the N800 and typing a few commands into the terminal.

Vodafone/Nokia alliance

Vodafone, the world's largest mobile operator by revenue and Nokia the world's largest handset manufacturer, have agreed to launch an integrated suite of Vodafone services combined with Nokia Ovi Services on a range of Nokia handsets.

Vodafone and Nokia also have agreed that a number of these handsets will be exclusive to Vodafone. Customers will get faster and easier access to all of Vodafone's Internet and entertainment services as well as all of Ovi from Nokia services on a wide range of handsets. Vodafone customers will be able to access the widest and most attractive choice of Internet services.

Vodafone and Nokia will make it easier to access the Internet quickly at the click of a button. Customers will get the full suite of communications, content, Internet services and browsing, through seamlessly integrated Vodafone services on Nokia handsets. Vodafone and Nokia will also deliver greater choice in music for customers, by making both the Vodafone music service and the Nokia Music Store available on Nokia's 2008 handsets.

Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

Nokia announced that the new Nokia N810 Internet Tablet has begun shipping nationwide in the United States. With a new slide-out keyboard, built-in GPS, digital audio/video playback and Wi-Fi capability for VoIP calling, the Nokia N810 provides the functionality of a traditional computer but all in one sleek, stylish and portable device.

Wayfinder will offer subscription based service for navigation over the Maps application; a 3-year license for $129.99 available in December.

Contaminated toys in the internet

Hundreds of toys that have been recalled because they're contaminated with lead paint are showing up for sale on the internet, the Consumers' Association of Canada says. And with many parents looking to shop online for the holidays, the association is warning parents to be cautious before purchasing anything. The toys, which were manufactured in China with lead paint, include everything from the highly popular Thomas the Tank Engine to Barbie accessories to Geo-Trax. The latest warning comes after Health Canada urged consumers earlier this year not to buy the toys at stores.

Health Canada could not be reached for comment, but the government department's website lists the toys that have been recalled.

Cash Reward Credit Cards

When you evaluate various credit card options with CreditCardSearchEngine.com, compare the credit card interest rates. Look for a low interest rate card but remember the interest rate is not fixed so it can be adjusted either quarterly or by written notice by the bank or company. You may be able to negotiate with your bank for a lower interest rate.

Compare how finance charges are calculated to help determine the total cost of credit. Look at all charges for each card. Some companies add other fees, such as late-payment fees if your payment arrives after the due date, or transaction fees every time you use the card.

Compare also services and features, such as travel insurance, rebates, purchase protection plans, Cash Reward Credit Cards or extended warranties.

Trimble GPS for BlackBerry smartphones

Trimble has announced that it is making three of its popular GPS-on-cellular applications available for BlackBerry smartphones. The applications will be available specifically for the BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry 8820, and the BlackBerry Curve 8310 smartphones. The three applications to be offered include AllSport GPS, Geocache Naviagtor, and Trimble Outdoors.

AllSport GPS allows BlackBerry users to track their fitness routine by logging their time, speed, calories burned, and distance traveled when their workouts take them outdoors. Recommended routes and maps can be downloaded, and you can even share stored workouts with a friend. Geocache Navigator hooks you into the new sport called geocaching that uses GPS coordinates to create a high-tech treasure hunt. You’ll have real-time access to the geocaching.com website in addition to tools, including a radar-like interface, to guide you to the treasure. Trimble Outdoors is the ultimate tool for those who plan outdoor trips. The tool allows you to review and plan trips online. Once completed, routes, maps, and GPS waypoints can be sent to your BlackBerry. Using Trimble Outdoors, you can also create photos, video, and audio notes, which you can share in the Trimble Outdoors Google Earth Layer.

Zune media player has sold out across the Web

The 80-gigabyte Zune media player Microsoft Corp. launched has sold out across the Web, to the dismay of online shoppers and delight of the world's largest software maker. While Web retailers have 4 GB and 8 GB versions of the second-generation Zunes in stock, the 80 GB music player is not available on Amazon, Best Buy or Circuit City's Web sites.

Microsoft is prioritized the manufacture of the smaller Zune 4 and Zune 8 devices, and that more of the 80 GB version should be on shelves, physical and virtual, in the next 10 to 14 days. Rumors of a manufacturing delay spread across consumer electronics blogs this week.

Wedding Ideas

Bridesmaids' gifts are given by the bride to her bridesmaids and maid of honor as a permanent keepsake of the wedding. The best gifts are those that can be used both during and after the wedding. You can search online for other good Wedding Ideas to find the best advise.

For bridesmaid gifts, consider items of jewelry that can be worn during the wedding to give your wedding party a coordinated and elegant look. Choose the collection that most fits your style, and then select the type and color of stone to match the color of your flowers and/or bridesmaids dresses. I believe this is the perfect bridesmaids' gift.

Bridesmaids' gifts are usually presented at the bridesmaids' luncheon, if there is one, or at the rehearsal dinner. The gift to the maid of honor may be similar to the bridesmaids' gifts but should be a bit more expensive.

Nokia E51. Business-focussed smartphone

It's the business-focussed smartphone that's going to sell faster than Nokia can make it. Or so reckons Steve Litchfield, who's been rather impressed by the Nokia E51. There are also lessons here for the rest of Nokia's smartphone line.

First impressions of the Nokia E51 are of its diminutive size. Although slightly heavier than the 6120 Classic, it's quite a bit thinner, at only 12mm and seems perfectly formed for its target market, businessmen and women and the companies they work for. And yet within the case lies an almost identical device, at least in terms of OS, memory and software. S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (this is the second Eseries device to feature it, after the E90) is now pretty mature and most of the applications and interface will be well known to you. The screen dimensions, contrast and reflectivity seem identical to that on the outer screen of the E90, by the way, should you need a comparison, and I want to publically congratulate Nokia's Eseries team for using transflective screens which work well outside in bright natural light - while your Nokia N81 and N76-using friends are squinting at their displays trying to see what they're doing, your E51 (or E90 or E70 or E61 etc) will remain extremely readable, even in the very brightest sunlight.

The extent to which your computer will permit access to your computer files is something you can control. Be sure that you understand how the access control settings work for your Linux system and that you proactively take measures to block the general public and "guests" from updating your files.

Whenever your workstation contacts data from another source, either via diskette, network, e-mail, Web surfing, etc. you increase the risk that your workstation will become infected.

Remember to Use Strong Passwords. Never leave the password for the administrator account of any piece of software blank and use security software with graham leach standards, like PowerPassword, to protect your passwords. Always protect administrator and user accounts with strong passwords. Encourage all users of your system to change their passwords regularly.

Switch to satellite TV

Tired of the fuzzy picture on your TV screen? Or the cable going out at the most inopportune moment? Satellite may have seemed more costly upfront when it first surfaced, but these days it can be a better value than cable and just makes sense. Cable TV has been around so long now. You know exactly what you're getting; it's the old stand by. But you may not like what you get, or feel like you have a choice about what you get. Now you do and it's just as easy, too.

Satellite TV, such as DIRECTV, gives you a TV viewing experience in a whole new dimension. While cable is known to go down for the same reasons as your electricity does, satellites don't get blown out of orbit. You don't have to worry about not having service on the day of the big game or missing the grand finale of your favorite show. Satellite offers family friendly viewing with channels like Disney and Discovery, and with parental controls in place for the channels and shows you don't want your kids to watch. And now that the technology has been around for a while, it's very user- friendly.

U.S. control of core Internet systems

Debate over U.S. control of core Internet systems threatens to overtake an international meeting in Brazil next week that was meant to cover topics including spam, free speech and cheaper access. The Internet Governance Forum is the result of a compromise world leaders reached at a U.N. summit in Tunisia two years ago. They agreed to let the United States remain in charge. But they established an annual forum to discuss emerging issues, including whether control of how Internet addresses are assigned — and thus how people use the Internet — should remain with the U.S. government and an American nonprofit.

Many countries complained U.S. dominance wasn't discussed enough during the first forum last year, in Athens. In meetings leading to the second round opening in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, China, Iran, Russia and Brazil, among others, won an opening-day panel devoted to "critical Internet resources." Some governments are seeking more concrete results, such as a chairman's statement or negotiated agreement on next steps, though U.S. and U.N. leaders cautioned that specific decisions are unlikely and even inappropriate.

Learn something new

There are some major advantages to online education, including the ability to set your own study time. You may be looking for a promotion or career change that requires additional training or you may simply be ready to learn something new. But with today's busy lifestyle, there's little time to devote to regularly scheduled class time. That's where online education from capella university can be a great asset for a motivated person.

The fact that you are working on your own could very well be one of the major advantages of taking online educational classes, because you don’t need to follow the other’s trend.

AT&T Inc. and Motorola announced recently that the MOTO Q 9h global will be available exclusively to AT&T customers in the U.S. beginning tomorrow. The 3G-powered MOTO Q global is the first MOTO Q smart device sold in the U.S. with worldwide capabilities.

The MOTO Q global is a high-performance smart device with a new, sleek form factor. The MOTO Q global offers AT&T customers a full ergonomic, integrated QWERTY keyboard; outstanding voice quality; downloads at up to 3.6 Mbps via AT&T’s UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect network; Windows Mobile 6; built-in GPS capabilities; Documents to Go for document editing; Opera browser; seven dedicated shortcut keys; a 2.0-megapixel camera with flash; and support for both a host of enterprise- and consumer-oriented applications and services.

Meet your new personal trainer: your cell phone

It can take your pulse, check your body fat, time your jogs and tell you if you have bad breath. It even assesses stress levels and inspires you with a pep talk. The prototype Wellness mobile phone from Japan's NTT DoCoMo Inc. targets users with busy lives who want a hassle-free way of keeping track of their health. The phone, developed with Mitsubishi Electric Corp. and unveiled recently at the CEATEC electronics show outside Tokyo, has a built-in motion sensor that detects body movement and calculates calories burned, whether you're walking, running, climbing stairs or resting.

DoCoMo, Japan's largest mobile phone carrier, has yet to set a release date or price for the Wellness phone and has no immediate plans to sell it overseas. Like a sensor system that Nike Inc. and Apple Inc. developed for the iPod Nano, the handset also keeps track of runs, letting users set targets and record time, distance and calories burned — while listening to music through headphones.

iPhone take care of desing

Most high-tech companies don't take design seriously. They treat it as an afterthought. Window-dressing. But one of Jobs' basic insights about technology is that good design is actually as important as good technology. All the cool features in the world won't do you any good unless you can figure out how to use said features, and feel smart and attractive while doing it. An example: look at what happens when you put the iPhone into "airplane" mode (i.e., no cell service, WiFi, etc.). A tiny little orange airplane zooms into the menu bar! Cute, you might say. But cute little touches like that are part of what makes the iPhone usable in a world of useless gadgets. It speaks your language. In the world of technology, surface really is depth.

SMS for free

Worried about your SMS bills? Help is at hand if you have a Yahoo email ID. The leading Internet media company announced this week that its free Web mail service, now integrated with chat and other features in a re-launch, will offer free text messaging services to users in four countries including India. The facility, which earlier existed only for Yahoo’s instant messenger users, is now available through the Web mail, and will take two to three weeks to roll out as Yahoo has 22.5 crore users worldwide, said IM Swaminathan, director, communications and community products, at Yahoo’s Bangalore centre.

The service could help people save money on international SMS messages that are costly, and also help desk-bound people send instant messages to people on the move.

Long Distance Moving Companies

CellBlu integrates ipod and MP3 in cellphones

CellBlu launches its new Bluetooth headset which will allow you to take cell phone calls while listening to your iPod or MP3. CellBlu's stereo headset pack includes a stereo headphone, a Bluetooth receiver and a Bluetooth receiver in two versions, one compatible with 3.5mm audio jack MP3s and the other with multi-pin connections on the iPod, iPod Video, iPod Nano and iPod Touch all for under $100.00 MSRP. Other competitive devices, mostly available in Europe, either do not provide functionality wirelessly or require the purchase of an add-on transmitter which can sell for as high as $60.00. Making these solutions much more expensive and/or cumbersome. CellBlu's transmitter can also work with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as speakers and computers.

Nokia postponed the start of its gaming service

Nokia's move into Internet operations faced headwinds, as the cell phone maker postponed the start of its gaming service due to software testing delays, and Warner pulled its songs from Nokia's music shop. The gaming service and music shop are among the cornerstones of the world's top cell phone maker's big push into mobile Internet services under its new "Ovi" brand.

Nokia unveiled the long-awaited gaming service at a large media event in August, saying then it would be available globally in November. Nokia opened its first music store in Britain earlier this week, but Warner Music Group Corp is withholding its content from the site, partly over concerns about illegal downloads at Nokia's file-sharing site Mosh.

The Shadow. New phone launch

When Apple launched the iPhone with AT&T in June, other carriers started scrambling to find something to match it. Today, T-Mobile USA is unveiling the Shadow, a phone that may not be too far off the mark. It has a big screen that slides up to reveal a keypad and has software with eye-catching graphics. The phone is a key part of an initiative launched a year ago to change T-Mobile from a low-cost provider to a company that sells premium services. That's a dramatic change from the brand's past association as the service that gives consumers the biggest bucket of minutes for the lowest cost.

Wireless broadband technology. A challenge for the Caribbean

Adoption of wireless broadband technology poses several challenges for the Caribbean, despite being an obvious option due to the very low level of DSL adoption in the region, according to Canadian network equipment supplier Nortel Networks. The primary concern is the cost of handsets, which can amount to 70% of an operator's costs when launching a new service. That cost can easily translate into a prohibitively high cost of the service for the end consumer. Regulators and operators should look at ways of achieving economies of scale to try and bring handset prices down.

In South and Central America, the two main mobile telecoms giants America Movil and Telefonica have a lot of buying power, which brings down the cost of handsets. The Caribbean on the other hand is dominated by two much smaller companies Cable & Wireless and Digicel.

Gold is a financial catastrophe insurance

There is an increasingly wide range of methods available to investors wanting to buy gold, or gain exposure to gold price movements. From gold coins to complex structured financial products, the most appropriate way will depend on the requirements and outlook of the individual investor.

My reasoning for my interest in gold bars is a little unique. I've tried to avoid the cliché stories about gold and gold bars. They're the easy stories to tell you. I'm avoiding them because, quite frankly, the easy stories gold bugs sell you are not the reason I'm buying.

I buy gold bars because, first of all, I believe that gold is cheap. Gold is a financial catastrophe insurance. And we haven't had a financial catastrophe in the U.S. in 25 years. I'm not predicting financial catastrophe, here. I'm simply buying catastrophe insurance, when it's at its cheapest.

United States is starting to look like a slowpoke on the Internet

The United States is starting to look like a slowpoke on the Internet. Examples abound of countries that have faster and cheaper broadband connections, and more of their population connected to them. What's less clear is how badly the country that gave birth to the Internet is doing, and whether the government needs to step in and do something about it. The Bush administration has tried to foster broadband adoption with a hands-off approach. If that's seen as a failure by the next administration, the policy may change.

In a move to get a clearer picture of where the U.S. stands, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved legislation that would develop an annual inventory of existing broadband services — including the types, advertised speeds and actual number of subscribers — available to households and businesses across the nation.

AT&T expanded AVOICS

At the Fall VON 2007 conference, AT&T Inc. announced the expanded availability of AT&T Voice Over IP Connect Service (AVOICS). AVOICS is the flagship wholesale Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) offer for U.S. service providers that want IP-based connectivity to AT&T's global IP network for long distance call termination. For more than 10 years, AT&T has provided wholesale VoIP solutions, which address the U.S. domestic and international termination needs of service providers with a variety of connectivity options.

AVOICS provides unbranded and unbundled transport over the AT&T network, as well as termination of international and U.S. domestic traffic. Customers connect to the service via AT&T's Managed Internet Service (MIS)/Multiprotocol Label Switching-Private Network Transport (MPLS-PNT) service, which provide class-of-service voice quality, key security elements and advanced network reliability. AVOICS is highly scalable and accepts U.S.-originated domestic outbound (1+) calls and international outbound (011+) calls by using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling.

T-Mobile Shadow

The T-Mobile Shadow is a sleek cell phone. It's called the Shadow because it has darkened edges on the user interface that blend into the black sides of the 2.6-inch diagonal display. It has a navigation wheel in the center that is easy to spin around with a light touch of a finger. It has a QWERTY slide-out keyboard with predictive text. You can use WiFi to browse the Web at high speeds and access instant messages and e-mails with a single click of a button. The quad-band phone uses the GSM, Edge, GPRS and WiFi networks for voice service. It runs the Windows Mobile 6 operating system and is easy to synchronize with Outlook mail on the PC. If you get Office documents as attachments, you can view them on this phone. You can use any of four instant-message clients: Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Windows Live or ICQ. The Shadow comes with sage or copper finishes. It is available in T-Mobile stores.

Windows CE-based GPS portable

Alpine Electronics has released a Windows CE-based GPS system that can be used as a portable, with a windshield cradle, or docked in one of the company's A/V head units. The Blackbird PMD-B200 includes built-in Bluetooth and a tuner for receiving traffic information. According to Alpine, the Blackbird is based on SiRF's Atlas-II navigation processor. An updated version of the Atlas, this highly integrated SoC (system-on-chip) includes an ARM926EJ core, 200 MHz DSP, hardware GPS accelerators, and support for displays up to 800 x 480 pixels. The Blackbird's flash memory (amount unspecified) is said to come preloaded with Navteq map data of the United States and Canada (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) and 6 million Navteq points of interest (POIs). The maps can be viewed four different ways: 3D mapping; 2D full map; split map; and turn-by-turn arrow view.

3G phone on a chip

Broadcom is continuing its push into the market for ARM-based mobile phone processors, with a newly shipping, sub-$25 "3G phone on a chip." Using 65nm technology, the BCM21551 combines two ARM11 cores with HSPA (high-speed packet access) modem acceleration, multiple radios, 480Mbps USB, and on-die audio/video subsystems. Broadcom expects the new BCM21551 SoC's (system-on-chip's) extremely high level of integration to enable sleek new form-factors, longer battery life, and lower-cost, 3G-capable mobile phone designs, including both high-volume feature phones and higher-end smartphones running "open" OSes such as Windows Mobile, Linux or Symbian.

The chip is Broadcom's third highly integrated ARM-based mobile phone processor, following the single-ARM11 based BCM2153 HEDGE for EDGE networks and the original BCM2820, which used an external modem. Broadcom has also in the past shown off a hardware/software reference design based on the BCM2153.

Dallas Cowboys tickets

Instead of having to stand in line for hour, or wait on the phone to buy your Dallas Cowboys tickets you can now sit comfortably for just a few minutes purchasing tickets online. And you can take the advantages to securing tickets via the Internet.

In addition to the speed and ease of buying online, one advantage web buyers have, for example, is the chance at getting the best seats of the stadium. This is because huge blocks of tickets are reserved for artists, promoters and others, all of whom commonly sell many unneeded tickets, for some of the best seats in the house, in the secondary ticket market via the web.

The RoamAnywhere router can even route calls over WiFi when users are at home.

dSpeed

Telecom RTOS (real-time operating system) and HA (high-availability) middleware vendor Enea has launched a new product aimed at helping developers and administrators control, monitor, and debug DSP (digital signal processor) farms. "dSpeed" supports DSP management processors running Linux, and works with DSP clusters based on Enea's OSEck RTOS for DSPs. dSpeed targets 3G carrier infrastructure equipment such as media gateways, packet gateways, and transcoders. It also targets base stations for various 3G protocols, including WiMAX, CDMA, and others. The product comprises a runtime component that executes on the DSP itself, along with client software residing on the DSP farm's "host processor" -- "typically a PowerPC or Intel part running a Linux [operating system]," according to Chris Lanfear, product marketing director at Enea.

Italy's First Steps in Censoring the Internet

The last year, after some guys appeared in a video punching and blaming a kid with Down syndrome, Minister of Education Fioroni brought in to trial two of Google Italy's managers and then proposed and strongly sustained his idea of censoring the Internet to protect the young. Now Ricardo Levi, the prime minister's right hand, is finally successful in promulgating his law on internet censorship. With the goal of "promoting and enriching the pluralism of information," the law rules that everyone involved in "editorial activity" must be subscribed to the "Registry of Operators of Communication" to be prosecutable in case of defamation, where "editorial product" is defined as "any product with purpose of information, education, divulgation, entertainment, aimed at publication, no matter the form it is realized in and the mean it is distributed with." When inquired about the effects of this rule for bloggers, Levi responded, "We have no interest in touching amatorial or personal sites, it would be not feasible".

Moratorium on state Internet access taxes

The Senate has approved legislation extending for seven years a moratorium on state Internet access taxes. With only days left before the Internet tax ban was set to expire, the Senate reached a compromise between lawmakers who proposed a shorter extension and those who insisted it should be made permanent. The vote came about two weeks after the House of Representatives approved a four-year extension of the Internet tax ban. The two chambers must work out their differences on the bill before a final version can be approved and signed by President Bush.

The state tax ban has been in place since 1998. It was last renewed by Congress in 2004 for three years. It is scheduled to expire on Nov. 1. Internet service providers say the price of Internet access could rise by as much as 17% if the moratorium on state taxes were allowed to expire. Some senators, including many Republicans, said that a permanent Internet tax ban was needed to spur more investment by broadband providers and complained that Democratic leaders blocked a vote on a permanent moratorium.

Nokia N82

I'm a pretty big fan of the N-series of cell phones from Nokia, so you can probably imagine my excitement to see the Nokia N82 live and in person. Well, not completely live, but these real world spy pics are the next best thing. As you can quite plainly see through the trio of photographs, the Nokia N82 takes on a rather conventional candybar design with very narrow buttons for the numeric keypad. The call and end buttons have been shoved to the edge, in order to make room for four other navigation buttons, in addition to the controller in the center.

As you recall, the Nokia N82 features a five-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, as well as quad-band GSM, UMTS/HSDPA, secondary CIF camera, 2.4-inch QVGA 16M color display, GPS, FM radio, TV-Out, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 100MB internal memory, and microSD expansion.

Nokia accounted four in 10 handsets shipped worldwide

Nokia in the third quarter accounted for nearly four in 10 handsets shipped worldwide, as the overall mobile-phone market grew a healthy 6.4% from the previous quarter. The Finnish mobile phone maker shipped 111.7 million units, a 10.8% increase from the 100.8 million units sold in the second quarter. The increase, which was more than the collective increases in shipments from the other four top suppliers, raised Nokia's market share to 39.5% from 37.9% in the second quarter.

Nokia also led other handset makers in operating profit in the third quarter, achieving an exceptionally healthy 22.2% operating margin. The average for the top five suppliers was 10.5%. The only downside of Nokia's third-quarter performance was in the Americas. In Latin America, Nokia shipped 12.7% fewer units than it did in the second quarter; and in North America, shipments declined 1.7%.

Spam has gone mobile

It's hard enough coping with all that spam clogging our computers. Now it's stalking us on our cell phones. Spam has gone mobile. Increasingly, consumers answer their cell phones thinking it's important. Instead, it turns out to be a telemarketer peddling time-share resorts, bogus lotteries or even porn. While computer e-mail spam is just a pain, unsolicited text messages on your cell phone can be costly -- 10 cents or more per message. The problem is so new that federal agencies are still unsure how bad it is or how to combat it. But they say clearly that with millions of new cell phone users and billions of text messages tapped out monthly, the annoyance is growing. Wireless officials say they have learned from the experience of the computer industry and are taking aim at mobile spam. But the problem is that it's a moving target.

Sprint Nextel customers can switch cell phone service

Sprint Nextel Corp. will provide customers wanting to switch carriers the programming code they need to unlock their cell phones’ software. The company has agreed to do so as part of a settlement of class actions in California and Florida alleging it locked cell phone handsets to make it difficult for customers to switch cell phone service without buying a new handset. The settlement covers all customers who bought Sprint phones between Aug. 28, 1999, and July 16, 2007. It should allow those phones to be switched to competitors whose networks are compatible with Sprint’s, such as Verizon Wireless and Alltel Corp.

Sprint, whose operational headquarters is in Overland Park, has denied wrongdoing but said it agreed to settle the cases to avoid the uncertainties and expense of litigation.
