<description><![CDATA[So what is more important to you Having aniPhone 4 that might drop calls Or having an iPhone 4 that saves your marriageThis seems to be the fine and important question posed by AT&amp;T in its instant rebuttal to Verizon's new iPhone 4 ad that suggests you might finally be able to make a phone call.This ad offers an insight into how an AT&amp;T iPhone 4 might save a marriage that is just about to run aground.You clearly work too hard. You clearly neglect your wife--who, strangely, still talks to you in a jolly, mellow tone.She calls to remind you that it's your anniversary. Though you have an AT&amp;T iPhone 4, you can hear her. Moreover, given that you have done nothing to reserve a spot at a restaurant, your iPhone 4 lets you tell her how much you care, while busily trying to find a restaurant on the Web.Will this simple demonstration of how an AT&amp;T iPhone 4 can keep America's social structure together offset Verizon's criticism of AT&amp;T's network structureWhat did you say I can't hear you.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Microsoft)The culprit behind some mysteriously high cellular data usage byWindows Phone 7 devices has been attributed to a third-party service, and not necessarily the software OS itself, Microsoft said today.The &quot;phantom data&quot; problem, which has left some users burning through their monthly cellular data allotment in short order (even when they were connected to Wi-Fi), was addressed by the software giant last week. Microsoft pledged that it would begin an investigation into the matter, though had not yet provided an update.Speaking to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, a Microsoft representative said the company had figured out what it believed to be the cause of the heavy data downloads, which it attributed to an unnamed third party. The company also said that it was at work on ways to fix the problem, which had affected only a &quot;small&quot; percentage of Windows Phone customers:&quot;We have determined that a third-party solution commonly accessed from Windows Phones is configured in a manner that potentially causes larger than expected data downloads. We are in contact with the third party to assist them in making the necessary fixes, and are also pursuing potential workarounds to address the configuration issue in case those are needed. At this point in our investigation, we believe this is responsible for most of the reported incidents.We are investigating additional potential root causes for the remainder of the reports.A small (low single-digit) percentage of Windows Phone customers have reported being affected.We are continuing to investigate this issue and will update with additional information and guidance as it becomes available.&quot;Assuming Microsoft can work out the leaky data issue with the unnamed third-party, the problem could be fixed without the need for a system software update. The first update for Windows Phone 7 is headed to carriers for testing later this month.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A year ago, I wrote about how those looking for work should consider learning Drupal, an open-source Web content management system. According to the project team, Drupal now powers 1 percent of all of the Web sites in the world.This week, as the project celebrates its 10th anniversary, the team announced the release of Drupal 7, which features an easier-to-use administrative interface, more flexibility in customization, new database support, and an increased effort to make Drupal sites scale more readily. Nearly 1,000 people contributed to the release. It also announced that it is planning to host DrupalCon 2011 in Chicago from March 7 through 10.According to project lead Dries Buytaert, companies are choosing Drupal because their Web presence is continuing to grow, but based on the current economic landscape, they still don't have much of a budget to spend on software. That doesn't mean that they don't have to maintain and enhance their Web sites, of course, and they need skilled help to do so. Drupal provides a vast amount of community support: people can share, collaborate, and learn more in the process. Organizations such as NPR, Examiner.com, and Whitehouse.gov all use Drupal to build internal and external-facing Web sites in a matter of hours, with minimal custom programming. As such sites proliferate, companies need people to manage them, which means that as Drupal adoption grows, so too do job opportunities. There are many technology areas and open-source software packages that continue to see tremendous growth. Some, like Ruby, are a bit more palatable to those without strong engineering backgrounds, while others, like OpenStack, may require a bit more geekiness but have tremendous growth potential. The important thing to note is that there are jobs out there, if you have the right skills and, in fact, certain engineering areas are severely lacking in experienced candidates.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Compact florescent lights are the top choice for energy-efficient lighting but there's a high level of awareness for LEDs, according to a survey from Osram Sylvania.The lighting company on Wednesday is expected to publish its third &quot;socket survey&quot; of consumers to measure the level of awareness around a government mandate for efficient lighting. Three hundred and nine consumers were surveyed by phone last month. Consumers indicated they plan to switch from incandescent bulbs to CFLs, halogens, and LEDs. In terms of product features, these consumers valued brightness first, then longevity, and then energy efficiency.LED bulbs creep into the home (photos) The 2007 energy law required manufacturers to produce bulbs that are more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs. In 2012, bulbs in the 1490 lumen to 2600 lumen range--the equivalent of a 100-watt incandescent--cannot consume more than 72 watts. In 2013 and 2014, efficiency levels for less-bright bulbs go into effect.The Osram Sylvania-sponsored survey found that consumer awareness around the mandate has grown over the past year. Thirty-six percent of respondents said they were aware of the mandate, a 10 percent increase from last year. Over half of respondents have evaluated bulbs other than incandescents and 81 percent have heard of LEDs, with about 9 percent using them. After incandescents, CFLs are the most-used type of bulb, followed by halogens. Thirteen percent of respondents said they plan to hoard 100-watt incandescent bulbs and 28 percent expressed worry about losing these traditional bulbs. The trend toward more efficient lighting is stronger among business customers, according to a survey published in September by Osram Sylvania. Over 70 percent have evaluated efficient lighting and 73 percent said they are evaluating or plan to use LED lighting. Lighting manufacturers are embracing LED technology because it offers a promising path toward steady efficiency improvements. The light quality of general-purpose LEDs and brightness has gotten to the point where manufacturers can market them for many uses. Compared to EnergyStar-certified CFLs, LED bulbs are slightly more efficient when measured on lumens per watt and are designed to last much longer--sometimes over 20 years.The price of LEDs, however, remains much higher than other technologies. Sylvania's 60-watt incandescent equivalent is expected to be available at Lowe's stores next month for just under $40.The price of LEDs is expected to fall. On Monday, Lighting Sciences Group introduced a 60-watt equivalent LED bulb, available through lighting stores next month and Home Depot in March, priced at $30.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wea4a4re  expecting to see many new tablets and phones this week at the Consumer  Electronics Show, and one new player in the market has already announced  its plans: Vizio will be rolling out its Via Android phone and tablet  later this summer &amp;8212' a bold change for a company best known for  bargain-priced HDTVs.The announcement, made tonight in the Wall Street Journal,  shows just how easily companies with no experience in the mobile arena  can deliver products powered by Googlea4a4s Android OS. Ita4a4s also a sign  that the market for Android devices will become even more crowded and  confusing for consumers in 2011.Nothing  about Vizioa4a4s new mobile devices is as surprising as the fact that they  exist at all. The Via phone will sport a 4-inch screen, front-facing  camera, and 8 megapixel rear camera. The Via Tablet will be WiFi-only  (meaning it wona4a4t feature any mobile internet capabilities like the iPad  or Galaxy Tab), will sport an 8-inch screen and it will also have dual  cameras.By  this point, we can expect the majority of other Android tablets and  phones announced at CES to resemble Vizio&amp;'s mobile device specs, making it  difficult for any of them to stand out. Vizio says it will once again  rely on low prices to push its Via devices, and they will also integrate  with its televisions by acting as mobile remote controls and feature HDMI ports to output video.The  company says it hired mobile specialists from Nokia and other mobile  manufacturers to work on the devices. A team of less than ten people  have been developing the phone and tablet over the past year and a-half.The  company is also planning to unveil 3D HDTVs below $300, and a video  service dubbed a4AVizio on Demanda4 which will work across multiple  devices, at the Consumer Electronics Show.Previous Story: Lenovo tries to escape boring designs with new ThinkPad laptopsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, smartphones, tablets, ViaCompanies: Vizio          Tags: Android, smartphones, tablets, ViaCompanies: VizioDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[Starting today, Kindle users on the lookout for quick and cheap reads can purchase Kindle Singles, Amazona4a4s short-format ebooks, which were first announced in October.According to  Amazon, each Single is a4Aintended to allow a single killer idea &amp;8212' well  researched, well argued and well illustrated &amp;8212' to be expressed at its  natural length.a4 Like every Kindle ebook, Singles will be available to  read on Kindle devices, as well as Kindle apps on the iPhone, Android  and other platforms.While  ita4a4s questionable that every idea is naturally intended for a short  format, the addition of Singles is undoubtedly a wise decision for  Amazon. Now it will be able to cater to users with shorter attention  spans, as well as those who just dona4a4t feel like committing to a  full-length book.Kindle  Singles range in size from 5,000 to 30,000 words, or about 15 to   90  pages. Theya4a4re priced between $0.99 and and $4.99 &amp;8212' significantly   less  than a typical Kindle ebook, which cost between $8 and $14.The  first Singles ebooks include original reporting, essays, memoirs and  fiction, Amazon says. The company is also working together with TED, the popular innovation conference, to launch the first run of TEDBooks for $2.99 each.Amazon made a killing over the holiday season with its $139 third-generation Kindle, and it reportedly sold over 8 million Kindles last year. The addition of Singles will likely give it a leg up over its competitors, including Barnes &amp;amp' Noble&amp;'s Nook ereaders, Apple&amp;'s iBooks and Google&amp;'s ebook store.Previous Story: Obama urges 80 percent clean energy by 2035, gives electric cars a shoutoutPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: ebooks, kindle, Kindle SinglesCompanies: Amazon          Tags: ebooks, kindle, Kindle SinglesCompanies: AmazonDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
