<description><![CDATA[Eutelsat&amp;39's KA-SAT for home and business broadband Net access has just begun operating.(Credit:Eutelsat)Eutelsat Communications' KA-SAT satellite went into service today, opening up a new broadband option for homes and businesses in Europe and the Mediterranean area.The satellite enables broadband speeds that are competitive with some land-based connections such as ADSL--at least for those in areas too far away from the network equipment--though it won't break any high-speed records. Eutelsat's Skylogic subsidiary offers a Tooway service with download speeds up to 10Mbps for residences' businesses get up to 40Mbps, with a 50Mbps option coming later.Using Eutelsat&amp;39's new satellite broadband service, called Tooway, requires this dish antenna.(Credit:Eutelsat)The services come with usage caps, too. The lightweight plan costs 25 pounds or 30 euros ($43) per month, has download speeds of 6Mbps and upload speeds of 1Mbps, and has a 4GB limit. At the high end, costing 100 pounds or 100 euros ($144) per month, the download speed is 10Mbps, upload speed is 4Mbps, and the monthly allowance is 25GB.Getting started brings some extra fees. A satellite dish costing 200 pounds or 230 euros ($331) must be installed on the outside of the house, too. Self-installation can be done with the help of aniPhone app to point the dish toward the satellite, or people can pay Skylogic 100 pounds to do the work.Eutelsat launched the satellite in December. It connects to the Internet with 82 &quot;spot beams&quot; that link with 10 base stations. In total, the satellite can send and transmit a maximum of 70Gbps.The Paris-based company operates 27 satellites commercially, used among other things to beam 3,800 TV stations to people in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and to provide Internet access to buildings, ships, and aircraft.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has issued a progress report on its Live Mesh sync tool since it was wrapped up with the Live Sync tool last year, saying that it's now being used by 3 million people who have connected 5 million devices. Collectively that amounts to 2.2 petabytes of data, the company said in a blog post today. Microsoft first launched Live Mesh at the Web 2.0 Expo in 2008 as an ambitious sync service aimed at ferrying data across a number of devices, be it PCs or Macs. It's since gone on to become a part of Windows Live Essentials, Microsoft's suite of free software tools. Along with the update about how many people were using the tool, Director of Windows Live product management Dharmesh Mehta took a healthy swing at Google, without actually naming the company:This marks an important moment in the steady transition to a world where people will use a blend of cloud services &amp; PC-based apps together. As a company, we believe this trend will continue as people seek a personal balance in how they manage their data across multiple devices and services.This is in contrast to those who believe that it's a cloud-only world and that everything should and will live online. It's a simple idea, but our customers tell us they want a choice in what works best for them.Zing!There is one footnote here about the choice issue though' that being the expiration of Live Mesh's beta at the end of this month. With that change ends support for Windows XP. Users first learned of the March 31 beta deadline for that change shortly after the announcement that the tool had been finalized.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dell  is killing off its ultraportable Adamo laptop line, which was initially  meant to compete with Applea4a4s impossibly thin Macbook Air, according to CNet.The  news doesna4a4t come as a huge surprise, as Dell has been offering the  Adamo at a deep discount since December. The Adamo launched at a pricey  $2,000 in March 2009. But as of January, Dell was selling the laptop for  $799. Now ita4a4s yet another example of a PC manufacturer trying to  compete toe-to-toe with Apple and failing.The  Adamo featured a solid-state hard drive like the Air, had a slick  aluminum case and was ultra-thin at just .65 inches. It was more  powerful and featured a higher resolution screen than the  first-generation Macbook Air, but Apple struck back with an even more compelling Air last year. The new Macbook Air started at a mere $999 for the 11-inch  version, and the more compelling 13.3-inch model started at a reasonable  $1,299. After seeing the new Air, it was clear the Adamoa4a4s days were  numbered.A  source told CNet that the Adamoa4a4s spirit may live on in a new Dell  laptop set to be revealed within six months. Meanwhile, Samsung is set  to launch its own Macbook Air competitor soon with the 9 Series ultraportable laptop.Next Story: Visa approves this transaction: PlaySpan for $190M Previous Story: Khosla-backed Gevo raises $107 million in biofuels IPOPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Adamo, laptops, Macbook, Macbook Air, ultraportablesCompanies: Apple, Dell          Tags: Adamo, laptops, Macbook, Macbook Air, ultraportablesCompanies: Apple, DellDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
