Google executives have spoken about Android's indirect benefits: the company wants to use it to accelerate the use and sophistication of mobile Internet browsing. "If the Internet is widely available, that's good for us," co-founder Sergey Brin said.

E-mail comes in two tiers on the G1. The upper tier is given to Gmail, which gets its own application; others get relegated to the generic e-mail application. I could connect fine to Yahoo Mail, but lacking a Plus account for free POP access, I couldn't try Microsoft Live e-mail.
Personally, I think the two-tier approach makes sense because Gmail fans (I'm among them) can get accustomed to features not commonly available in ordinary e-mail client software, such as conversation view, the ability to archive and star messages, and sophisticated search abilities. Other e-mail services don't need their own applications.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Online social network site Facebook.com has launched a version targeting mainland Chinese Web surfers to compete with local and overseas rivals in the world's largest Internet market.

Facebook users in mainland China accessing the website are redirected to zh-cn.facebook.com, which is in the simplified version of Chinese used on the mainland.

A version in traditional Chinese, the script used in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is also available.

A spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

Facebook -- an online network which allows users to create personalised pages and link to others -- released French, German and Spanish versions this year. About two-thirds of Facebook's more than 67 million users live outside the United States.

iPhone, iPod updates don't include high-speed access

2008-02-12T22:11:00.000-08:00

Apple introduced new models of its iPhone and iPod touch last week with bigger storage capacities - but nothing more.
The iPhone's biggest storage goes from 8 gigabytes to 16, for $499, and the iPod touch (the iPhone without the phone) from 16 gigabytes to 32 for the same price. With that kind of storage, you could fill several whole seasons of a one-hour drama on iPod touch.
But Mac fans are especially disappointed with the announcement of the new iPhone model because it didn't have the one thing users have been clamoring for the most - high speed Internet 3G connectivity.
As of now, the iPhone connects through AT&T's slower EDGE network when it's not connected to WiFi. Users are hoping for an iPhone that will connect to AT&T's 3G network. But a good sign is that AT&T announced it's expanding its 3G network to 80 more cities by the end of 2008.

Microsoft on Global Hunt For software pirates

Microsoft has filed 52 lawsuits and referred 22 additional cases to local law enforcement involving illegitimate versions of its Windows, Office and other products. By Paul McDougall
InformationWeek
December 11, 2007 10:50 AM

As part of its effort to crackdown on the use of illegally copied software, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) has filed 52 lawsuits against businesses and individuals around the world for using illegitimate versions of its Windows, Office, and other products.

The company also referred 22 additional cases to local law enforcement authorities in foreign countries, Microsoft said Monday.

Of the lawsuits filed, 15 involved software that's been traced to a Chinese syndicate that Microsoft said is the world's largest ring of counterfeiters. The gang was busted earlier this year through a joint effort involving Chinese authorities, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Microsoft.

Microsoft said most fake software gets sold online -- often to unsuspecting buyers. As a result, the company said it's begun work with eBay to help educate the Web auctioneer's customers about the risks of counterfeit software and how to spot fakes.

Among other things, Microsoft has posted a "Buying Guide" on eBay's Reviews and Guides section. Microsoft also participates in eBay's "verified rights" program, through which legitimate merchants can report counterfeits to eBay and have them removed from its site.

The software counterfeiting problem isn't confined to shadowy groups operating in far off countries. Last week, several software vendors -- including Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) -- filed a lawsuit against the prestigious Philadelphia law firm of Fox Rothschild for allegedly ripping off the commercial software it uses in-house.

Fox Rothschild officials have not commented on the matter.

Microsoft estimates that counterfeiting costs the software industry about $40 billion per year worldwide.

The lawsuits filed Monday by Microsoft included actions in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Italy, Ireland, and several other countries.

Yahoo! have finally secured a deal with a major social networking property for display and video advertising. Bebo, the UK and Ireland’s most popular social networking site, has entered into a multi-year, exclusive partnership.

Yahoo! Europe will help advertisers reach a young British audience of over 11 million users, generally ranging from 13 to 24 years - a sought-after but traditionally difficult group to target.

Although no financials have been disclosed, the deal is rumored to involve a revenue guarantee - an approach reportedly made by Google in a deal that snatched MySpace advertising, and possibly part of Microsoft’s recent Facebook agreement.

Joanna Shields, President of Bebo International, told Reuters that choosing a market leader like Yahoo! was the important part of the decision. Read more

Vodafone challenges Apple's iPhone dominance

2007-09-12T10:19:00.000-07:00

The battle to undermine Apple's dominance of the download market has stepped up a gear with Vodafone's launch of a new music service.

Apple'e iPhone: Vodafone has launched a service aimed at challenging Apple's dominance of the download market
Many providers have created rival versions to Apple's iPhone

UK subscribers to MusicStation will have access to more than one million songs from major record labels, which they will be able to download directly to their phones for a flat fee of £1.99 a week.

Unlike Apple's much-trumpeted iPhone, the service will be compatible with 3G handsets, which means that users will be able to download songs within 10 seconds.

But there is a catch. Mobile phone analysts have been were quick to point out that MusicStation, which will be launched in November, allowed subscribers to rent rather than own the downloaded tracks. When customers stop paying the weekly flat fee, their music becomes unplayable.

Vodafone's launch came as Apple announced it had sold a million iPhones in the United States, just 74 days after the device went on sale.

Microsoft attacks Google Apps

2007-09-12T10:13:00.000-07:00

Microsoft has launched an attack on Google in which it sought to dissuade businesses from downloading Google Apps.

The attack came in a statement on Monday, the same day Google signed a deal with Capgemini to promote its office-productivity software among businesses.

Capgemini, a global consulting firm, is to offer desktop support and installation services to large corporations running Google Apps Premier Edition (GAPE), the premium version of Google's web-based package. Google Apps includes a word processor, calendar and mail functions, and so is a direct rival to Microsoft Office.

In its statement, Microsoft laid out 10 questions it wanted users considering Google Apps to ask themselves. Read more...

Google's detailed streetscapes raise privacy concerns

2007-09-12T10:12:00.000-07:00

Carly Weeks, CanWest News ServicePublished: Tuesday, September 11, 2007

OTTAWA -- Canada's Privacy Commissioner has raised concerns over a new Google program that lets users view and zoom in on street-level photographs that are so clear and precise, they can pinpoint an unknowing bystander and their exact location with the click of a mouse button.

Google's new Street View application uses photographs captured at an earlier date to let computer users navigate through city streets and neighbourhoods in major cities quickly and easily.

But the program, which relies on pictures taken without the knowledge or consent of people in them, seems to violate many basic rights of citizens and poses a serious threat to personal privacy, according to Jennifer Stoddart.

Apple Fan Frenzy: Stickergate
By Charlie Sorrel August 13, 2007 5:52:09 AMCategories: Apple, Elsewhere in the Tubes, Mac
We all know about Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field, which causes hacks and punters alike to drool over any new Apple product. We also know about the Cult of Mac. But the ridicule raining down upon Statesman Journalist Bob Keefe is extraordinary. He's been named Jackass of the Week by the excellent Daring Fireball, and MacUser's Dan Moren called him "infamous and dastardly"
What terrible thing did Keefe do? He asked Steve Jobs why Apple don't put Intel Inside stickers on Macs. That's it. It might have been foolish to ask such an inane question when Jobs offered an unprecedented Q&A session after the Mac event last week, but the the reaction is surely even weirder. Here are few quotes from The Tubes:
