Tech Company is in issue: Microsoft sues Motorola over Android phones

I am talking about big tech company Microsoft and Motorola.

Issue:        company’s android powered phones infringed on nine patents                             held by the software giant.

Yes, this complaint was submitted by Microsoft. Microsoft sued Motorola Friday on 2/10/2010 claiming that the company’s android-powered phones infringed on nine patents held by the software giant. 

According to a statement by Microsoft deputy general counsel horacia Gutierrez,  the alleged infringements centre on the way Motorola’s phone synchronize e-mail, calenders, contacts, and meetings,  and in the way it notifies the users of changes in signal strength and bettery power. Microsoft said that it filed the action at the international trade commission and the US District Court in Washington. 

“WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR CUSTOMERS, PARTENERS AND SHAREHOLDERS TO SAFEGUARD THE BILLIOND OF DOLLARSWE INVEST EACH YEAR IN BRINGING INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS.AND SERVICES TO MARKET” Gutierrez said, “ 

Motorola needs to stop its infringement of our patented inventions in its android smart phones.”

The suits come 10 days before Microsoft launches the new version of its mobile software, which it hopes will win back market share from Apple Inc's iPhone and Google.Microsoft said it filed its actions against Motorola at the International Trade Commission and in federal court in Seattle.

 Microsoft sis nit name yet google, which makes the android operating system, as a party to suit.  Earlier Microsoft will make software licensing agreement with another android phone maker, HTC. In my last article I have described more on progress of HTC. Click here to read about HTC.

 Now in next generation of tech Microsoft prepares to launch its windows phone 7, which it hopes will rival android and the iphone in the smartphone market. So, make your eye on new phone releasing in I think 2011. 

New generation Tech: “pre-announced” Panasonic phone with 13- megapixel camera

As my title will be strange for you. But this is true. Now In mobile phone there is one new competitor also in latest technology generation of race: PANASONIC. 

Panasonic has officially declared it’s lumix phone suddenly with no before planning. And great news is that it’s with 13 megapixel! ! ! 

suddenly means that it was surprising before that it’s was not expected by anyone. Yes, it’s with 13.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and a 3.3-inch VGA LCD*.

Now a days only Sony ericsson was making this type of high pixel camera in phone but now it’s with Panasonic.

Panasonic is teasing us with a few details of the Panasonic Lumix Phone, containing a 13.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and a 3.3-inch VGA LCD*. It will be the same size as the iPhone, only twice as thick, at 17.7mm.

By the way, Panasonic has not released any iamge of it’s upcoming phone. we can guess that the phone can gather a lot of attention due to its 13 MP camera with CMOS censor and also with didigtal zoom.

Exact announcement of its phone will be available on 5^th October,2010. 

Now there are some specification of this advanced technology phone which I want to provide you. Take a look at this all. ( this spec. is according to press release of Panasonic )

• DLNA support.
• size: 116×52×17.7mm, weight: 146 grams.
• 3.3-inch LCD screen with resolution of 854×480 pixels.
• “Mobile VenusEngine” for high definition images.
• Mobile camera with 13MP CMOS sensor.
• Micro SDHC slot for memory cards.

(*Camera LCDs are usually measured in dots, which is actually triple the amount of pixels. This makes the Lumix Camera’s screen an impressive 900,000-dots: 640 x 480 x 3 = 921,600. I think. My maths is quite terrible.)

when this phone will be launched I hope it will change the definition of new tech gadget spceially of phone~!

How to measure a website's IQ?

The creator of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee, has made an odd request: for a kind of rating system to help people distinguish sites that can be trusted to tell the truth, and those that can't.

Berners-Lee was speaking at the launch of the World Wide Web Foundation, which aims to ensure that everyone in the world benefits as the web evolves.

In his speech he referred to the way fears that the LHC could destroy the worldspread like wildfire online. As the BBC puts it, he explained that "there needed to be new systems that would give websites a label for trustworthiness once they had been proved reliable sources."

He went on to say that he didn't think "a simple number like an IQ rating" is a good idea: "I'd be interested in different organisations labelling websites in different ways". Whatever process is used to hand out the labels, it sounds like a bad idea to me.

Berners-Lee himself directed us towards some of the its biggest problems:

"On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable...A sort of conspiracy theory of sorts and which you can imagine spreading to thousands of people and being deeply damaging."

There are plenty of arguments online already about whether Scientology is a cult. I find it unlikely anyone will be keen to step in and label sites on either side as not to be trusted. Others might reasonably argue that all religions - whether established or not - should come with a warning message.
As for wading in to put a stop to conspiracy theories, I can't image anything their proponents could benefit from more.

Berners-Lee also mentioned the system would help people find out the real science behind, for example, the LHC's risks. You might think handing out rating for sites about science would be easier, with publishers of peer-reviewed science, for example, receiving a top rating without problems.

But there will be papers in the archives of any journal that have been entirely superseded. And a whole lot more that present results that are valid, but can be misleading to some readers. Web licences to ensure that people only read sites they can handle are the next logical step.

Fortunately it's much more likely that the whole idea will quietly be forgotten, which will at least prevent Berners-Lee receiving one of the first "potentially misleading" badges for thinking it up in the first place.

Let's hope the World Wide Web Foundation and its laudable goals have a rosier future.

Apple 2010 iPod lineup, reviewed !

Maybe you thought Apple's latest unveiling of iPods was the best refresh the product line has seen in years. Or, perhaps you're a little burned out after a year of iPads, iOS, iPhone 4, and antenna-gate. Personally, as CNET's resident expert on all things portable audio, it was nice to get a new crop of iPods to play with and put through their paces.

Call me a geezer, but I still carry an iPod separate from my phone. One of these days, I'm sure I'll bite on a new smart phone to make my iPod obsolete, but until then, my excitement over the latest portable media players and tablets stems from a genuine personal interest.

So here, without further ado, are CNET's formal, rated reviews of the Fall 2010 Apple iPod lineup.
