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.
Additional gene is found in the body thinner: study information
There is some body lean condition. The gene was found in large numbers as the reason why.Imperial College in London led by Professor Philip Pro team, which conducted the research. 95 thousand people for this gene (D. N. A) test was undertaken.
Protecting health and maintaining a high level of gene found on chromosome -16. And in their "jinom" because the loss of holes in the molecule. That's why the body becomes so lean.Gene is generally much prefer the children will eat the food. So scientists have reported that body is visible unhealthy thinner

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
