GPS Leads Seattle Police to Catch Suspect Just Hours After Murder

Last week in Seattle, law enforcement used the GPS feature installed in most cellphones to track a murder suspect as he fled from the scene at the Federal Way Transit Center. Merlin Bell was suspected of shooting and killing Devon Winston Parks. Witnesses told police that they had seen Bell speaking with Parks before the shooting and then identified Bell as the shooter.
Police were able to obtain Bell’s cellphone number and worked with T-mobile to track his cellphone while the police searched for him. Soon after the shooting a police dog found Bell hiding behind a bush with a revolver hidden nearby. Furthermore, police were able to identify Bell in an MTA surveillance camera shooting. Police say that the surveillance footage reveals that the victim has been in a defensive position. Overall, the insurmountable evidence presented against Bell was enough to put him behind bars under second-degree murder charges.
This story is another example of how A-GPS technology, now common in most cell phones, is helping law enforcement do their jobs more efficiently. It’s becoming very clear that GPS, combined with the CCTV surveillance cameras installed in many transportation systems are helping the authorities bring in dangerous criminals at a faster pace than ever before possible.

Too much technology locked my wife out of the house but I had a great lunch

I just came back to the office from a great lunch with my friend Phil Kaplan (yeah, not this one), I’m a big fan of the fuckedcompany.com founder.When I get back to my San Francisco office the whole team tells me my phones have been ringing for a long time like all the time.
Why my phones kept ringing? My wife locked herself out of the house the very day I forget all of my 3 (!) phones to go to lunch. It never happened to me that I forgot my phone for years! I felt good actually, good lunch, no email checking, no technology, no sharing the awesome fresh uni on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn, no nothing. Just a great conversation with a fantastic entrepreneur without thinking that I should check what’s happening online.Geraldine could finally get in somehow.
Blame her new car that doesn’t need a key to start it, you know it’s those cars the key just has to be in the car to start the engine and you only press a button to open the door if the key is nearby.Bang there you go, she left the key in it, closed the parking door and no keys to get in the house or back in the garage. Hilarious now that it’s solved. Fortunately it did not last very long and the weather is beautiful outside in SF.When I think about it, it’s too much technology that locked her out (I did not take that option on my car perfectly aware the same could happen to me) and too much technology that could have prevented me from a great non interrupted lunch. I need to learn how to live with less technology more often.

Production of the world's smallest camera

World's first American company to produce very little marketing tool for photographers.This amounts to just 26 million metric photograph can be taken up by a 2 mega pixel And thus could make a video recording.Its mass is 26grams.The company also created the United States hamacar skilimer.Its price of $ 99.95.
In the process, however, this form something equivalent to a photographic apparatus.
This created a huge sensation when it comes to market, the company said.

At the same time last May to introduce a camera metikas company in Israel said 0.99 million metric scale.

America’s Internet service slips to #25 worldwide

Welcome to America, the country with the 25th fastest Internet service in the world, just behind Romania, and falling fast. The culprit? Hard to say, but maybe it's got something to do with the FCC's abolition of any sort of competitive markets for Internet service in the USA? Well, I'm sure it'll be fine -- after all, why would Internet access have any effect on national competitiveness, industry, jobs, health, education, civic engagement, and so forth?
Under the Bush administration, the FCC tossed out competitive broadband safeguards such as open-access requirements, which opened lines to other providers. In 2002 the agency declared that high-speed cable Internet access would no longer be considered a telecommunications service that opened the network to competitors, but rather an “information service” that did not. Following a 2005 court decision, the FCC also reclassified broadband delivered by the phone companies as an “information service.”
These were radical policy shifts that went against the long-held assumption that open communications in competitive markets were essential to economic growth and innovation.
While the U.S. blindly followed a path of "deregulation," other nations in Europe and Asia beefed up their pro-competitive policies. The results are evident in our free fall from the top of almost every global measure of Internet services, availability and speed.

Scientists appeal on embryonic stem cell funding

Two scientists on Monday appealed a ruling that permitted federal funding of human embryonic stem research to go forward, an effort by the U.S. government to try to find cures for deadly diseases.Dr. James Sherley, a biological engineer at Boston Biomedical Research Institute, and Theresa Deisher, of Washington-based AVM Biotechnology, opposed such research and had sued to block funding.
They also argued it diverted money away from their work with adult stem cells. Opponents of human embryonic stem cell research, including many religious conservatives, have argued that it is unacceptable because it destroys human embryos.
In late July, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) guidelines allowing federal funds for such research did not violate a 1996 federal law and he dismissed the legal challenge.
Lamberth had initially ruled for the researchers in 2010 but was overturned by a divided three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in April. Sherley and Deisher filed their appeal with the same appeals court.
Such stem cells come from days-old human embryos and can produce any type of cell in the body. Scientists hope to be able to use them to address spinal cord injuries, cancer, diabetes and diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on the appeal.The case is Dr. James L. Sherley et al v Kathleen Sebelius et al, No. 09-cv-1575 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Panel pushes for medical research to help wounded troops

A “Biblical” dust storm kicked up just before Lt. Col. Timothy Karcher’s MRAP was set to leave his base in Iraq in June 2009. Visibility was down to almost nothing.
“Sir, do we really want to go out today?” asked the lieutenant in charge of Karcher’s personal security detail. Despite his misgivings, Karcher recalls trying to reassure everyone with a gallows humor reply.
“What’s the worst thing that could happen?” he said. Minutes later, barely two kilometers from their Baghdad base, Karcher’s vehicle was hit by an explosively formed penetrator, a particularly lethal roadside bomb.
Part of the blast blew through his door. He felt intense pain, and realized that both of his legs were gone.
Two years and many surgeries later, Karcher remains on active duty in the Army. He gets around on a pair of state-of-the-art Otto Bock X2 artificial legs, which he showed off Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington. He spoke as part of a panel advocating for more of the kind of biomedical research that has led to breakthrough treatments for wounded warriors’ injuries.
Karcher was joined by actor Robert David Hall of the television show, “CSI,” who lost both legs in a 1978 automobile accident; Dr. Regina Armstrong, who is the director of the Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Rebekah Lovorn, the executive director of charity No Greater Sacrifice; and Paul McKellips, vice president of the Foundation for Biomedical Research.Public support for research has fallen since the Vietnam War era, from roughly 70 percent to 57 percent, according to a Zogby poll McKellips’ organization cited.
McKellips said he understands that people are upset about government spending, but said, “It’s really not about money. It’s about, ‘We’ve got to embrace and support that we’re almost there. … We’ve got all these boys and girls coming home. Let’s not forget them.’”

The event marked the launch of a $500,000 media effort by McKellips’ group, which emphasizes that advances in treating wounded warriors’ injuries usually translates to breakthroughs that benefit civilian medical care as well. For Karcher’s part, he said he thinks he’s received fantastic care and support.

“There’s no other nation in the world that would care enough about their wounded servicemembers to do what our nation has done for us,” he said. “I sit here in front of you with conservatively $80,000 to $100,000 worth of prosthetics on. It’s a far cry from what the pirates got.”

Intel's Thunderbolt technology in Windows next year

Expanding its partnership with Microsoft, the world's largest chip-maker Intel today said its high-speed interconnect technology, Thunderbolt, would be available on the software giant's Windows operating system from next year.
The move would end the exclusive availability of Thunderbolt, which was launched earlier this year and helps transfer data between different computing devices at high speed, on Apple's Mac computers.
The plans to offer Thunderbolt on Microsoft's Windows platform was disclosed by Intel's Vice-President and General Manager of the PC Client Group, Mooly Eden, at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2011 here today.Computer-makers like Acer and Asus are working to make devices with Thunderbolt compatible with the Windows platform, he added.Thunderbolt enables different high-speed storage and media capture devices to connect with each other through a single thin cable.Speaking at IDF 2011, Eden also displayed a prototype of the Thunderbolt technology running on Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system.He was also joined by a Microsoft representative that showcased the latter's latest Windows 8 operating system on an Intel-based 'Ultrabook' device.Putting to rest speculation about the two long-time partners drifting apart, the two companies highlighted the broad collaboration between them and pointed to the future opportunities that Windows 8 would present across multiple computing devices such as tablets, hybrids and the in-development 'Ultrabook'.Intel's partnership with Google for the launch of Android smartphones powered by Intel chips and Microsoft showcasing its Windows 8 operating system on devices powered by chips from Intel's rival, ARM Holdings, had led to such speculation earlier this week.
However, both Intel and Microsoft have downplayed the developments. While Intel CEO Paul Otellini said he was confident of Intel having the best chips to run the Windows operating systems, Microsoft Chief Steve Ballmer also reiterated his commitment to both Intel and ARM chips.

Sangakkara named ODI Cricketer of the Year

Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara has been named the ODI Cricketer of the Year for 2011 during the ICC Awards ceremony in London. Sangakkara also won the ICC People's Choice Award, capping a memorable evening for him.
"It's a great honour first of all to have been nominated for this award [ODI Cricketer] and a great honour to have actually won it," said Sangakkara, who was not in London because of the ongoing home series against Australia.
"I would like to thank the rest of my team-mates, they have done a great job over the years in one-day cricket and I am privileged to be part of this and [to have] led these guys for just over two years. I thank you again, I feel very very proud."
Sangakkara played 25 ODIs in the period under consideration - August 11, 2010 to August 3, 2011 - and scored 1049 runs at an average of 55.21 including a century and seven half-centuries. He also had 26 catches and 10 stumpings as wicketkeeper and led Sri Lanka to the final of the 2011 World Cup.
Sangakkara won the ODI award ahead of Australia's Shane Watson, India's Gautam Gambhir and South Africa's Hashim Amla.
For the People's Choice Award, Sangakkara received more votes than Amla, England batsman Jonathan Trott, West Indies opener Chris Gayle and India captain MS Dhoni.

Microscope Hats Peer Inside Mice Brains

Scientists have made a miniature high-powered microscope that fits on mice without interfering with their actions.
Such a microscope can help biomedical researchers learn more about brain functions
The scientists say the technology within the microscope makes it possible to mass produce them affordably.

Mice are the mainstay of modern biomedical research, but the ability to image their brain cells while they're scampering around is no easy task. Scientists at Stanford University have created a powerful mini-microscope that can fit on a mouse head and stay there without interfering with the mouse's actions.
"It's like a little high tech hat," said Mark Schnitzer, an associate professor of biological sciences and applied physics at Stanford who led the development with Stanford engineering professor Abbas El Gamal. "The mouse can behave very naturally and freely."
Although the individual parts aren't novel by themselves, they do create a tiny little novel system when combined. The microscope is an advancement of an earlier one that Schnitzer's lab designed in 2008. Unlike that one, the latest fluorescence microscope integrates all the optical parts into 1.9 grams so that there are no ancillary components to make it bulky. The technology is described in the latest issue of the journal Nature Methods.

Are Technology Initiatives in Schools Paying Off?

As more and more money is spent on technology in schools, some are beginning to wonder if additional technology is having a positive effect on student achievement. A recent article in the New York Times, and reviewed by Joanne Jacobs, describes a high-tech classroom in one of Arizona’s Kyrene School District schools where students are studying Shakespeare’s As You Like It by using laptops and utilizing Internet technologies such as Facebook and the music of Kanye West.
Classrooms in Kyrene boast top of the line technology funded by a ballot initiative passed in 2005. However, Jacobs writes that the laptops and Internet-enabled desks are having no measurable impact on the district’s math and reading scores. Since 2005, Kyrene has shown no improvement in standardized test results, while Arizona, as a whole, has seen some gains.
Schools around the country are investing money in outfitting schools with technology, an effort further encouraged by last year’s White House initiative called the National Education Technology Plan. The plan was designed to bring “state-of-the art technology into learning to enable, motivate and inspire all students.”
But what benefit students derive from having access to all that technology hasn’t yet been determined. Most studies that focus on the topic look at a muddy metric called “student engagement.” However, Jacobs quotes Randy Yerrick, the associate dean of educational technology at the University of Buffalo, who calls it a “fluffy” term which hasn’t been shown to lead to better student performance. This view is also echoed by Larry Cuban, Professor of Education at Stanford University.

At The Educated Reporter, Emily Richmond asked an elementary school teacher for his reaction to the Times piece. The teacher, whose classroom is fully fitted with what he calls “electronic bells and whistles,” said that he found all that technology distracting. His fellow teacher, from the classroom next door, however, said that not only were all the gadgets useful to the students, she found them to be a powerful aid in composing assignments and creative lesson plans.
However, the actual research supporting the link between digital classrooms and improved educational outcomes is thin. Former executive director for education at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which provides grants for such efforts to schools across the country, conceded that the data supporting technology’s impact on student learning “is pretty weak.”

Tracking hurricane wind speeds in Google Earth

Back in 2006, we showed you a tool from Jeremy Cothran at the University of South Carolina that provided a ton of near real-time weather data from various sensors around the southeastern United States.
Jeremy has now taken that vast amount of data, and simplified it to highlight significant events among those sensors. In particular, it highlights wind gusts over 30 mph or wave heights over five feet. The result, when combined with other tools such as Google's built-in satellite overlay, can be quite useful.
The more significant events are shown using larger icons, making it easier to see where the heart of the action is. You can view it yourself by loading this KMZ file [Google Earth File. You must have GE installed.] into Google Earth. You can also view the data using Google Maps, but it loses the label styling and time slider functionality.
In both cases, the data shown is from the past 24 hours, and is updated hourly with new information. Nice work, Jeremy!

I am not God: Vijay

Vijay has expressed displeasure on a section of his fans who depicted him as God in posters, during the audio launch of 'Velayudham' in Madurai recently. "I am upset with this act," said the Ilayathalapathy.
"I am totally against the practice of showcasing a man as God. A human being can never become God. I request my fans to immediately stop this act. I hope that they would pay heed to my request," he said.
In a statement to the media, Vijay said, "When the issue was brought to my notice during the audio launch of Velayudham, I immediately asked them to remove the posters and my fans did it. But a few miscreants are creating an issue out of it."
He added: "I also don't discriminate people based on their caste and religion. I have friends, fans, well-wishers and workers from different communities and I respect them all equally. We are human beings and Tamilians," he said.

Apple wins German injunction against Samsung, Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA

Apple's ongoing patent battle with Samsung has taken yet another twist, now that Cupertino has won an injunction blocking German sales of the recently unveiled Galaxy Tab 7.7. According to FOSS Patents, Samsung pulled its new Android tablet from both the IFA show floor and its German website on Saturday, in compliance with a Friday decision handed down by the same Düsseldorf Regional Court court that banned sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 last month. The 7.7-inch slate had previously been on display with a sticker that read "Not for sale in Germany," but, as we noticed yesterday, all demo models, posters and other promotional materials have since been removed. Samsung spokesman James Chung told Bloomberg that the new injunction "severely limits consumer choice in Germany," but confirmed that the Korean manufacturer "respects the court's decision," and vowed to do everything it could to defend its intellectual property. Details on the ruling remain hazy and Apple has yet to comment, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear more.

High Energy and Healthy Living: Best Blended Coffee Shake Recipe

For you early-risers out there, you already know that one peculiar aspect of waking up very early is that by the time you’re preparing to head out the door around 8:30am or so, your 6 a.m. breakfast is already starting to wear off!I needed a post-breakfast high energy “snack” — something fast and packed with energizing nutrition to give me a sustained boost.
After a couple of tries, I concocted this recipe that I’d like to share with you. It’s refreshing and delicious, and really puts you in the right mood to take-on the world! I made this video really fast before I was leaving for work:

Delicious and Healthy Ingredients

1.water-treated, organic, fair trade decaffeinated coffee
2.frozen organic banana
3.ice
4.rice milk
5.raw pecans
6.raw organic coconut butter
7.carob and raw cacao and a bit of plant protein powder

I’ll admit, not everyone likes the combination of banana with coffee — I enjoy it. If the combination of those flavors doesn’t appeal to you, however, simply substitute more ice for the frozen banana.Another great thing: this recipe is easily customizable; lately I’ve been making it with raw, organic pecan butter instead of peanut butter, and if you feel like a change of pace you can swap out the cardamom for cinnamon. It’s often fun to experiment and modify a recipe to make it your own, so play around and let me know what you come up with.

Scientist killed, second injured in lab explosion

One scientist was killed and another injured in an explosion Friday at a technology company in Menlo Park, authorities said.The explosion happened in a laboratory at Membrane Technology Inc., when a male scientist was transferring a mixture of several gases, including methane, from one cylinder to another at about 4:15 p.m., said Menlo Park Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman.The explosion caused a female scientist standing near an open door to be blown out of the laboratory, Schapelhouman said.Other laboratory workers carried the mortally wounded man into the hallway before arriving firefighters went into the building to lead them outside. Twenty-three other workers were evacuated from the building.Firefighters and paramedics performed CPR and other advanced life support on the injured man, who had slipped into cardiac arrest, but he died, Schapelhouman said.The injured woman was taken to Stanford Hospital with eardrum damage, he added.Schapelhouman said that late Friday night, fire inspectors were inside the cleared building, and would probe the cause of the explosion with investigators from Cal/OSHA.He said that it was possible that the cylinder with the gases exploded because it had become over-pressurized. Schapelhouman said the company had passed a fire inspection in March.

High-tech body scanners invade NYC-area airports

Newark Liberty International Airport today became the first New York-area airport to install body scanning technology to replace a system that was harshly criticized for invading privacy by displaying naked images, the Associated Press reports.

Transportation Security Administration officials unveiled the software at the airport where more than 8 million passengers boarded planes last year. The technology was tested in February at Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C., and rolled out in July
In all, the technology will be installed in 241 security machines at 40 airports around the country over the next few months, AP says. The agency plans to install it in all airports eventually.

The new system uses a screen that displays a gray silhouette of a generic body. The screen is placed at security checkpoints in a spot where both the traveler and the security agent can see it.
Under the previous system, the images of travelers' bodies were displayed in a separate room, where a TSA officer would radio the officer at the checkpoint that a traveler was carrying an item that needed to be scanned. The new system speeds that process by using the yellow boxes to display the exact locations of the offending items, according to Donald Drummer, the airport's federal security director.

How Google App Engine pricing changes might affect Android apps

On Wednesday, Google announced via their blog how Google App Engine (GAE) pricing will change as it moves out of ”preview” mode. I won’t bore you with the details of these changes. The important takeaway is that many GAE users will see substantial increases in operating costs. Since we are an Android blog and not an App Engine blog, you may be asking why we’re writing about this here. Well, we’re writing about it because it has a potential to impact the availability and pricing of Android Apps that rely on App Engine.
You see, while GAE was in preview status it was–for lack of a better term–dirt cheap for developers to use as a server back-end for their Android Apps. There was a substantial free quota granted to developers, and many got by without ever hitting that quota. With the new pricing model, the free quota has been decreased to the point where many of these developers will probably hit it and trigger usage charges. This in itself isn’t really a problem. After all, Google is offering up its infrastructure and should be compensated for its use. The problem is that the new pricing appears to be incredibly expensive in comparison to the old pricing.

As part of the announcement, Google made available a tool to analyze and estimate costs under the new pricing model. Almost immediately, reports started hitting the web in which users were claiming to see anywhere up to 30 times their previous costs. App Engine is used for a lot of different things (not just back-ends for Android apps), so we can’t say how many Android apps might be affected by this. What we can say is that App Engine is a natural choice for Android’s Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) service, and Google made it easier to integrate Android and App Engine at Google I/O when they showed off the new Google Plugin for Eclipse. For these reasons, chances are likely that a sizable number of Android apps will be affected in some way.
Some Android developers are already looking for ways to make up for the new operating costs. For example, Steven Van Bael, developer of Bookmark to Desktop, has posted on Google+ that he is looking for ways to compensate for an estimated additional $100 per month. That can be pretty hard to do with a free app. Accordingly, the two most obvious options are to remove the app or start charging for it. Of course, a third option is to use some other back-end service, which may carry its own costs and might require considerable work to get up and running
