<description><![CDATA[Johann Siau shows off the InterHome prototype.(Credit:University of Hertfordshire)Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom are unveiling a prototype system they say is designed to learn from its inhabitants, text if security is breached (or a door left unlocked), and now even monitor its occupants' health.The InterHome, developed in a doll's house, uses a touch-screen control panel that enables online and smartphone monitoring and control from afar.The house not only incorporates energy-efficient and security features that learn from the occupants' living habits (when lights tend to be on or off where, when the house is empty, etc.), but also a device that can be strapped to a wrist with various sensors to take such readings as temperature and pulse.&quot;We developed it further with elderly people in mind so that the house can send alerts if the person has a fall or a stroke,&quot; says Johann Siau, senior lecturer at the university's School of Engineering and Technology. &quot;This opens up a platform for us to add new types of technologies around assisted living.&quot;Siau and his team are now working with the Building Research Establishment in the U.K. to install the system into show homes for trial and testing.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Time Warner CEO Jeffrey Bewkes (left) talks with Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg at the CES trade show on Thursday.(Credit:Screenshot from Verizon livestream)It's all about the network: Verizon's new 4G LTE broadband infrastructure was the cornerstone of Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg's keynote address on Thursday morning at the 2011CES trade show in Las Vegas, where he hailed the possibilities of the &quot;creative revolution&quot; stemming from the increasingly hyperconnected words we live in.&quot;Wireless data is now more than doubling every year,&quot; Seidenberg said. &quot;Smartphones are growing at almost 90 percent a year, and a whole new computing platform for mobile broadband has emerged.&quot;This power of the network was key to all the topics Verizon touched upon in its talk: faster broadband's evolution into a more connected world, the new Droid Bionic dual-core smartphone and Xoomtablet in partnership with Motorola, and the power of Google's Android operating system (and its new Honeycomb edition for tablet computing). There was not, as some had eagerly hoped, the announcement that Apple'siPhone would finally be available on Verizon. President and Chief Operating Officer Lowell McAdam joined Seidenberg on stage to talk about Verizon's development of its 4G network, and its 2007 promise to build &quot;the fastest, most advanced network in America.&quot; &quot;We sent a signal to the entire consumer electronics industry that this market would develop very quickly,&quot; McAdam said. &quot;In 2011, that vision becomes a reality. One month ago, Verizon launched commercial LTE service in 38 major markets.&quot; He also talked about &quot;big broadband,&quot; the fiber infrastructure needed to power 3D technology and media-heavy activities like holographic games and high-quality videoconferencing. McAdam predicted &quot;huge growth in video traffic&quot; and claimed that there is &quot;no practical limit to the speed that this fiber can deliver.&quot; Ultimately, he said, this will result into an even more hyperconnected world. &quot;Network innovation not only changes what we can do, it changes what you can do with us,&quot; McAdam said. &quot;Your home will be a smart hub for managing your energy use, your health care, your security system, and your appliances...I call these high I.Q. networks, and these networks are the hubs of the wheel that will drive this industry forward.&quot; The Verizon executives paraded out Time Warner CEO Jeffrey Bewkes--now that Time Warner Cable is a separate company, Bewkes no longer runs a competitor to Verizon's broadband service--who talked about the need for good infrastructure to power consumer demand for &quot;TV everywhere,&quot; on mobile devices as well as throughout the home. &quot;All of that is going on-demand, on every device, in ever higher quality, HD soon 3D,&quot; Bewkes said, &quot;and it is an explosion of vitality that is moving from the TV screen, still on TV, but to every other screen that you have.&quot; He name-checked the Verizon FlexView on-demand service that the company offers for its Fios home access service. Many of Verizon's CES-related announcements had already trickled out over the past few days or through weeks of a constant rumor mill: the first phones to use its 4G LTE network, like the Motorola Droid Bionic, which is shaping up to be one of the must-see mobile devices at CES' and the Honeycomb-powered Xoom tablet, which Motorola had unveiled on Wednesday. Indeed, Verizon's focus was less heavy on the news and more focused on the power of the network in the future. &quot;The sheer scale of connections in this new world will be truly mind-boggling,&quot; Seidenberg said at the conclusion of the event. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Research In Motion today beat Wall Street's estimates for the third quarter, showing that the maker of the BlackBerry is far from being a has-been in the smartphone game. For the quarter ending November 27, the company reported net profit of $911.1 million, or $1.74 per share, on revenue of $5.49 billion. Wall Street had been expecting earnings of $1.64 per share on revenue of $5.4 billion. (Click here to see the statement and a preview.) The company said 82 percent of the revenue came from devices, while 15 percent was attributed to services. The company shipped about 14.2 million devices and added about 5.1 million net new subscribers in the quarter, taking the subscriber account base to over 55 million. Analysts had been expecting 5.2 million new subscribers. Read more of &quot;RIM: Earnings show we're still in the game&quot; at ZDNet.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mobile multimedia messaging application Highnote announced today that it is launching an updated version of its app at the DEMO Spring 2011 conference.The app lets smartphone users send a slideshow to their friends. It&amp;'s billed as a way to send more rich media without being constrained by the limits text- and media-messaging have. Naturally, users can only send their messages to other Highnote users.Users can create messages to single recipients or groups and do some pretty heavy-duty editing a4&quot; at least, by mobile standards. They can change the color of the text, the alignment and other elements of the actual message. Highnote users can also save quick replies, such as a &amp;''love it&amp;'' or &amp;''can&amp;'t right now&amp;'' to speed up replies to messages.Highnote users can add other types of media to their messages, like video, sound clips, map locations and songs from their iPod. Users can add two pieces of media per slide and nine slides per message. If a Highnote user sends a message to someone without the app, the recipient will receive a link via text message to view the slide show.But part of a4&quot; if not the whole a4&quot; appeal of text messaging is that just about every single phone in existence has text messaging enabled. So it&amp;'s a quick way to message other people who doesn&amp;'t involve picking up the phone, and there&amp;'s basically a guarantee that they will be able to reply back using a text message as well. Media messaging, or MMS, also has the same appeal a4&quot; almost every phone or carrier has the service enabled.So it&amp;'s like a cross between social networking and texting, but still only works if everyone uses it. It does send text messages, but following a link to the slide show online kind of defeats part of the purpose of the application a4&quot; immediacy. That&amp;'s part of the appeal of messaging application Kik, and why it became so popular a4&quot; it was simple and blazingly fast.The application is available for free on iTunes and on the Android Marketplace. Versions for Windows Phone 7 and the BlackBerry operating system are in the works, according to the company.Next Story: License plate-based social network Bump.com raises more than $1M (exclusive) Previous Story: VentureBeat Mobile Summit: The top 180 players in mobile debatePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: DEMO, DEMO Spring 2011, messaging, MMS, slideshowsCompanies: Highnote          Tags: DEMO, DEMO Spring 2011, messaging, MMS, slideshowsCompanies: HighnoteMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.
