<description><![CDATA[Apple asked a federal judge today to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed against the company over the FairPlay digital rights management software it formerly employed in its iTunes music store.FairPlay's encoding of digital music files ensured that songs bought through iTunes would play only on iPods and not other music players and that songs bought through other digital music stores would not play on aniPod. In July 2004, RealNetworks challenged Apple with the release of software called Harmony that was designed to crack through FairPlay's DRM and allow its own digital music files to play on the iPod. Apple responded by updating the iPod in October and rendering RealNetworks' content unplayable.Apple eventually dumped FairPlay in 2009, but a group of iPod and music buyers sued in 2005, claiming that the company's use of FairPlay allowed it to maintain a monopoly over both digital audio players and music downloads.The blocking of downloads that used competitors' software was designed to improve iTunes customers' experience, Robert Mittelstaedt, an attorney for the Cupertino, Calif.-based company said at a hearing today in San Jose, Calif., according to a Bloomberg report. &quot;Apple's view is that iPods work better when consumers use the iTunes jukebox rather than third-party software that can cause corruption or other problems,&quot; Mittelstaedt reportedly told U.S. District Judge James Ware. The request for dismissal comes nearly a month after a federal judge ordered Apple CEO Steve Jobs to answer questions in a deposition related to the suit. Attorneys for Apple had argued that his testimony in this case would be repetitive of what has already been offered, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd ruled that was not sufficient to preclude Jobs from testifying.Apple representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Members of Bouncr sit on the ground outside the Santa Monica, Calif., co-working space Coloft, where the Startup Bus stopped yesterday afternoon. (Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--If I've learned one thing during my first, long, day on the Startup Bus yesterday, it's that in a rapid prototyping environment, it's all about &quot;MVP.&quot;For those who think that's a sports term, it isn't. At least not in this context. Here, riding through dry California lowlands at 60 miles per hour on a bus packed with a couple dozen hard-core tech entrepreneurs, it means just one thing: minimum viable product.I'm on one of two Startup Bus coaches that left San Francisco early yesterday bound for the South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) festival in Austin, Texas. All told, six buses full of so-called &quot;buspreneurs&quot; are heading towards the Texas capital, including one each from New York, Chicago, Miami, and Cleveland. And all six are filled with teams of techies who want to come up with the best start-up pitch they can craft between their starting point and Austin. To them, especially before we've even stopped for our first night on the road, MVP is what it's all about.Even if MVP occasionally makes you wince at what you've built.&quot;If you're not embarrassed by your first release,&quot; said Jay Stakelon, a member of Team Bouncr, &quot;you're not releasing early enough.&quot;A version of the Bouncr Web site that the team built in less than a day Tuesday aboard the Startup Bus.(Credit:Bouncr)There are six teams onboard my bus, but I've spent the bulk of the first day shadowing Bouncr. This team of six--including Stakelon, Max Mullen, Adam Burmister, Diana Mounter, Mischa Nachtigal, and Jason Katzer--is trying to build a start-up that began around the idea of a &quot;bit.ly for e-mail addresses.&quot; On the one hand, as they first thought about it, their product would provide an auto-generated e-mail address that could be useful in trying to craft 140 character tweets, and on the other, the team thinks it may have a solution to the problem of providing throw-away e-mail addresses for Web service sign-ups or to people you don't really want to hear from: It's the e-mail address you give the annoying job seeker or guy in the bar who won't leave you alone. When they write you and you don't want to hear from them, the click of a button--maybe it says &quot;Let's bounce,&quot; or &quot;bounce me,&quot; a polite &quot;nothing to see here&quot; sort of response is automatically sent back. &quot;Shorten, share, and protect your e-mail address&quot; is the team's tagline.Throughout the day, the Bouncr crew has, like all the others on the six buses, been building its idea up from scratch. These are, after all, people who for the most part met for the first time in the last 36 hours. And while they're a long way from landing a round of venture funding from Kleiner, Perkins, the six have already crossed a significant milestone: they've struck their first deal.Toward the end of the day last night, the team was busy pitching Philip Fierlinger, who hails from New Zealand's Xero, a major Startup Bus sponsor, on plunking down some advertising dollars. Leading the pitch was Katzer, who was enthusiastically pointing out to Fierlinger that Bouncr had already had well over 1,000 visits to its Web site--in one day--and that more than 10 percent of those people had signed up. Katzer was jockeying hard to score a $100 advertising buy.At first, Fierlinger was dismissive, saying that Xero had already put down all the money it could on the Startup Bus. But Katzer wouldn't let go, nor would his teammate Mullen, who carefully explained all the ways that Bouncr &quot;touches&quot; a user: upon initial sign-up' at registration confirmation' when blocking an e-mail or user' and any time a user visits the management tool. With this new insight into Bouncr's idea--and both a newfound sense of respect for the Bouncr team and that the product might very well align nicely with Xero's online accounting software--Fierlinger is won over for an ad buy of at least $100, and maybe more. There's a handshake. And then Mullen belted out, &quot;Bouncr is profitable!&quot;'What's the point of the service' Since laws governing how many hours a bus driver can work meant that we had to find a place to stop by 10 p.m., we quietly rolled into a Palm Springs Travelodge that advertises itself as &quot;brand new and affordably hip&quot;--though, surprise, surprise, it's neither--in the dark. I had dreams of some last work, and then a (more or less) decent night's sleep.But then there was a knock and the door, and there was Mullen, inviting me to come and sit in on a team meeting where they'd be going over &quot;user stories.&quot;This wasn't about testimonials. It was a discussion of the many different potential Bouncr use cases, and features they were considering. What if, they pondered, someone sent a Bouncr e-mail with attachments--should the service forward the attachment or host it and send a link A brief discussion ended with a consensus that Bouncr should behave like e-mail normally does, and not force users to adapt to something new. So, it should forward any attachments.What happens, it was asked, if someone submitted a Bouncr e-mail address for conversion to a Bouncer e-mail address More discussion, and an agreement that the system should be set to automatically refuse to accept addresses from its own domain.One particularly important topic of discussion was whether Bouncr would really offer most users utility as a shortening service. After all, bouncr.com is a longer domain than, say, gmail.com. Mullen said, however, that he had put in a request for boun.cr, a Costa Rican URL that was available, but would require approval. If accepted, it would offer the team a three-character advantage over the .com.Another question was whether users would be able to request custom Bouncr addresses, or if they'd have to accept what was autogenerated. Clearly, it was decided, custom addresses were essential--but not something that should be included in the list of features the team would be focusing on in the two days before arrival in Austin.Indeed, much of the evening meeting centered around &quot;above the line&quot; and &quot;below the line&quot; features, meaning those that were high priority, and those that could be put off into the future. Energetic and enthusiastic, Stakelon, a dead-ringer for Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley, nonetheless was clearly the pragmatic voice of reason in the room, constantly expressing passion for ideas while also declaring them &quot;below the line.&quot;Bouncr members Max Mullen (second from right) and Mischa Nachtigal (right) interview people on the street about the product their team is building.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)With some features being called into question, including whether Bouncr even makes sense as an e-mail address shortening service, Mounter got existential. &quot;Now, what's the whole point of the service,&quot; she asked.A question like that could bring everything crashing down, but the Bouncr team seems a lot more confident than that. Indeed, though I haven't spent as much time with any of the other teams as I have with this group, I've gotten the feeling that these six people are particularly cohesive. Whether crammed into the seats at tiny tables onboard the bus--seemingly the same kind of Bauer Limousine coach that ferries hundreds of Google employees to work from San Francisco every day--or sitting on the floor of Coloft, the Santa Monica, Calif, co-working space we spent the afternoon at yesterday, or working on two queen beds at the Travelodge, the team always seems loose, easygoing, and on task. It's not that the other teams are rife with conflict--far from it: One thing about my Startup Bus experience that has surprised me is how little tension there is. But there certainly is some, and at least one team has more or less had to abandon its original idea after a day of disagreements over direction and, finally, the defection of a teammate.With Bouncr, even disagreements seem more like constructive discussion, and an important point like Mounter's is taken at face value and considered soberly. As the team tries to work out whether Bouncr offers real utility to enterprises, and ponders whether its goal of &quot;adding intelligence to e-mail&quot; is valid, or even possible, the reaction is that &quot;the fact that we're having this conversation is important because we are coming up with solutions.&quot;But there might even be a bit of hubris on display.At one point, the team is talking about how well they work together. And Nachtigal, who works for Twitter, looked up and said, &quot;We may not have the best idea [on the bus] but we can execute the best.&quot;Whether that's true or not, Bouncr is certainly being seen as promising by the Startup Bus community. In a virtual stock market game (note: the link gives me a referral boost in the game) that is being run in conjunction with the project--in which anyone can &quot;bet&quot; on the stocks of the various teams--Bouncr's stock price has been one of the top gainers. Above the line Though everyone on the bus is tired from lack of sleep, the Bouncr team continued to work late into the night despite our planned 7 a.m. PT departure this morning. But finally, Stakelon hit his wall, threw his bag over his shoulder and announced he was heading for bed.For Mounter, this was a clear opportunity.&quot;Now that Jay's gone,&quot; she said, pausing for effect, &quot;let's move everything above the line.&quot;Stay tuned for more CNET coverage of the Startup Bus.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Google CEO Eric Schmidt speaks at Mobile World Congress 2011.(Credit:Stephen Shankland/CNET)BARCELONA, Spain--Google today unveiled Movie Studio, a new application for the upcoming Honeycomb era ofAndroid tablets that lets people edit videos.The software, which Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt announced during a speech here at Mobile World Congress, is designed to expand on a phone's abilities to capture imagery.With it, people can combine still images and videos to create broader video that can be shared online. People will be able to add musical soundtracks, fade to black at the end of the video, and add effects like the Ken Burns-style panning so common on Apple video software.The software requires Android 3.0, the tablet-optimized version of Android set to debut soon with Motorola's Xoom tablet.&quot;When you play with Honeycomb, you'll get the sense of beauty and power we have with the new interface,&quot; Schmidt said. &quot;I just really love it.Android releases proceed alphabetically, with Gingerbread being the present version for phones and Honeycomb soon to come for tablets. The &quot;I&quot; version of Android will marry elements of both, Schmidt said.He also said Google likes a six-month development cycle for Android. With Gingerbread released in late 2010, that suggests the sequel should arrive in the second quarter of this year.Google's biggest Android rival is Apple, which makes not only the iOS mobile operating system but also the iPhones, iPads, andiPod Touches on which it runs. Google has outflanked theiPhone with Android on cheaper phones that, though not always up to the full potential of Android, still are a big improvement over earlier-era smartphones.Perhaps not coincidentally, however, rumors surfaced this week of a smaller, cheaper iPhone.&quot;Beyond helping address a potential saturation challenge, we believe that the possible introduction of a lower-priced iPhone is strategically important for Apple, and we are surprised the company hasn't introduced a lower-priced offering previously,&quot; Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi said in a research note today. &quot;We believe that Apple's ultimate intention is to be the dominant smartphone vendor globally, and that the company has market share aspirations that are akin to its iPod business (rather that its Mac business, where it faces a sticky Wintel platform.)&quot; Competing with Microsoft Google faces another rival in the newly paired Microsoft and Nokia, trying to create a third ecosystem to rival iOS and Android. With Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is trying to steer a middle course between the locked-down control of Apple with iOS and the free-for-all near-chaos that is the Android realm.Indeed, in the big picture, Schmidt listed Microsoft as the company's top competitor.&quot;No question, our strongest competitor is Microsoft,&quot; Schmidt said. &quot;They have a strong advertising model. They have the cash, the scale, the brand, and the reach to do good and amazing things.&quot;Facebook, on the other hand, is not a problem at present, Schmidt said.&quot;Facebook appears to be additive,&quot; Schmdit said. &quot;Facebook users use Google more. There's no evidence they're hurting our ad business. At this point we think Facebook is zero to net positive.&quot;He left unsaid other aspects of the competitive reality, though: Google has been trying furiously for years now with little success to come up with services that match Facebook as a place where people congregate and share information online.Regarding Nokia, Schmidt said the door is still open for the Finnish phone maker to join the Android realm. &quot;We would have loved it if they'd chosen Android,&quot; he said.Google has another operating system effort under way besides Android: Chrome OS. This is a browser-based project that runs Web apps rather than the native apps found on personal computers and Android.It's possible someday it will merge with Android, Schmidt said.&quot;Don't force technology to merge when it's not ready,&quot; he said. &quot;Wait for them to be ready.&quot;Answering audience questions, Schmidt acknowledged fragmentation is something of an issue for Android programmers who want their apps to run well on multiple phones. But, he said, an antifragmentation clause and the Android Market dynamics will keep companies from straying too far.The antifragmentation clause requires members of the Open Handset Alliance to include mandatory Android interfaces that software needs. And straying too far also will mean that apps aren't available in the Android Market--and no carriers want to miss out on the Android ecosystem, he said.Moreover, he added, Android 2.3 will smooth over differences.&quot;We've released Gingerbread, which in a month or two everybody will upgrade to. At that point everybody will be on a common platform, which should address a lot of your concerns,&quot; he said, perhaps optimistically presuming that older phones will get the upgrade.Updated 10:35 a.m. PT with further comments from Schmidt. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The nightmare for Mark Hurd just won&amp;'t end. The Securities and Exchange Commission has launched a probe to determine whether the former Hewlett-Packard CEO shared sensitive information about his old company.The crux of the investigation revolves around whether Hurd, in one of his infamous lapses in judgment, spilled the beans on HP&amp;'s acquisition of Electronic Data Systems to former HP contractor, Jodie Fisher, in 2008. The deal was worth $13.9 billion when it happened.Hurd resigned as CEO of HP earlier this year after he allegedly sexually harassed Fisher. The board investigated the sexual harassment claims, which then turned up inaccurate expense reports. Part of the SEC investigation also concerns his inconsistent expense reports. HP has shared the results of its investigation of the sexualharassmentclaims and inconsistent expense reports with the SEC already, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.Oracle later hired Hurd as president. Oracle&amp;'s CEO Larry Ellison said the claims were a poor excuse for forcing Hurd to resign. He called it a4Athe worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago.a4 Now that Hurd is on board with Oracle, Ellison put HP right in Oracle&amp;'s crosshairs.Former SAP executive Lo Apotheker became HP&amp;'s new CEO after Hurd left, which is sure to drive up some animosity between the two companies. A jury ordered SAP to pay Oracle $1.3 billion recently after evidence showed that SAPa4a4s U.S.-based business unit made hundreds of thousands of illegal downloads and several thousand copies of Oraclea4a4s software with the goal of avoiding license fees and stealing customers. Oracle lawyers tried to get Apotheker to testify live in court,but they couldna4a4t locate him via subpoena servers.Next Story: Call of Duty Black Ops sales top $1B Previous Story: Superfish says &amp;''virtual window shopping&amp;'' will tempt consumers more this ChristmasPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: investigation, SEC, Securities and Exchange commissionCompanies: Hewlett Packard, HP, Oracle, SAPPeople: Larry Ellison, Lo Apotheker, Mark Hurd          Tags: investigation, SEC, Securities and Exchange commissionCompanies: Hewlett Packard, HP, Oracle, SAPPeople: Larry Ellison, Lo Apotheker, Mark HurdMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.

<description><![CDATA[AT&amp;amp'T has come up with one way to combat the fabled Verizon iPhone: Halve the price of the iPhone 3GS from $99 to $49.The carrier announced this morning that you&amp;'ll be able to pick up the 8-gigabyte iPhone 3GS for $49. (For now, Apple will continue to sell the same unit for $99.) AT&amp;038'T&amp;'s offer is now the cheapest way for consumers to get their hands on an iPhone.If that&amp;'s enough to combat an iPhone on Verizon remains to be seen. Perhaps some users wouldn&amp;'t mind going for an older-generation iPhone on AT&amp;amp'T&amp;'s notoriously flaky network for such a low price. Then again, many of the consumers who would find a $49 iPhone 3GS appealing probably aren&amp;'t too well-versed in the potential advantages of a Verizon iPhone.Apple is expected to announce a Verizon-compatible version of the iPhone in the next few weeks. I&amp;'m currently sitting and waiting for Verizon Wireless&amp;'s press conference to begin at the Consumer Electronics Show, where we could potentially hear about the Verizon iPhone as well.Next Story: Intel shows that Portal 2 game runs fine on its Sandy Bridge chips (video) Previous Story: Dell&amp;'s Streak 7 Android tablet coming to T-Mobile&amp;'s 4G networkPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: iPhone, iPhone 3GSCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, Verizon          Tags: iPhone, iPhone 3GSCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, VerizonDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[No  you didna4a4t misread that title. In a move clearly meant to deflect some  attention away from the massive amounts of Verizon iPhone press,  T-Mobile announced today that it will offer all of its phones for free on February 11 and 12 &amp;8212' with a new two-year contract, of course.And  when T-Mobile says all of its phones will be free, it&amp;'s not kidding.  The offer includes current high-end Android phones like the Samsung  Vibrant, HTC HD 7, and even 4G phones like the MyTouch 4g and G2.So  if you need a new phone and dona4a4t mind being on T-Mobilea4a4s network,  youa4a4re going to want to line up early on Friday at your nearest  participating T-Mobile store. Ita4a4s unclear how the discounts will be  handled &amp;8212' judging from the carriera4a4s press release, some will require a  mail-in rebate.The  move is just the latest in many that puts T-Mobile in a good light. In  October, the carrier announced that it would offer the cheapest  tethering option &amp;8211' the ability to connect wireless devices to your  phonea4a4s mobile Internet connection &amp;8212' in the country at only $14.99.  T-Mobile vowed at CES not to charge anything extra for users to take  advantage of its 4G network, while other carriers like Sprint charge  extra, and Verizon and AT&amp;amp'T are believed to follow. The company also  said that it will be doubling its 4G network to 42 Mbps speeds by the end of this year, which is roughly double that of Verizona4a4s 4G network.The  free phone deal will definitely cost T-Mobile quite a bit when it comes  to hardware, but it may be worth the expense if it can convince  consumers to opt for its network instead of going for a Verizon iPhone,  or waiting for the iPhone 5. And of course, consumers will always appreciate a carrier more that gives away free phones.Previous Story: HP ready to launch laptops, but Intel chips are in short supplyPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, deals, G2, HD7, MyTouch 4G, smartphones, VibrantCompanies: T Mobile          Tags: Android, deals, G2, HD7, MyTouch 4G, smartphones, VibrantCompanies: T MobileDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
