<description><![CDATA[Will theiPad 3 sport a Retina DisplayWill the next iPad offer a Retina Display(Credit:Apple)Images found in the software development kit for iOS 5 have kicked the rumor mill back into gear.Tech site TechUnwrapped reported yesterday that a tipster found images in the framework for integrating Twitter into Apple's next mobile OS that were double the 1,024x768 resolution used in the current iPad. Based on those images, TechUnwrapped said this could mean the next-gen iPad will offer a 2,048x1,536 Retina Display.However, since the high-resolution images were initially found only in the Twitter framework, TechUnwrapped seemed dubious that an iPad 3 would hit the market this September at the same time that iOS 5 is released--a rumor that was floating around several months ago. But a later update to the TechUnwrapped story also revealed high-resolution images found in Apple's new Newsstand app, offering another potential piece of evidence for a Retina Display.Apple's Retina Display launched last summer with theiPhone 4. Its high density of 326 pixels per inch makes text and images look smoother and crisper than on previous displays.The discovery of these Twitter and Newsstand images has created some debate among tech commentators.9to5Mac sees the images as a &quot;strong indication&quot; that the next iPad will include a 2,048x1,536 Retina Display. However, TechRadar asserts the new images &quot;prove nothing&quot; because similar high-resolution images were found in some iPad icons earlier this year, but then the iPad 2 failed to include a Retina Display.With the iPad 2 already several months old, more rumors about the iPad 3 have been popping up lately.A DigiTimes article says that Apple is already drumming up and certifying parts for the next iPad, with component makers eyeing a 2012 launch date. A peek into the iOS 5 code by sources cited by TUAW discovered that Apple may release two different iPad models--a traditional Wi-Fi-only version and a world-mode edition capable of running under either CDMA or GSM.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Speaking at his first shareholder meeting since becoming CEO two months ago, Google's Larry Page tried to address some nagging issues that have concerned investors and taken a bite out of the company's stock price.Google co-founder and now CEO Larry Page speaks to reporters at a meeting in 2008.(Credit:Stephen Shankland/CNET)Calling Page's talk yesterday a &quot;response to critics who who say the company is too free-spending, too unfocused, and too aloof to investors and Wall Street,&quot; Silicon Valley-based Mercury News said that the CEO defended Google's spending and reiterated that Google remains focused on its core business.Focusing on the issue of spending, Page said even though the company dabbles in &quot;speculative&quot; projects like self-drivingcars, it's prudent about how it spends its cash.&quot;We're very careful stewards of shareholder money,&quot; Page said, according to quotes of the speech sent to CNET by Google. &quot;We're very committed to spending money and resources carefully. You know, we started, remember, as a start-up in a garage. And we're very, very careful about our spending. In fact, I remember I was scared to hire an office manager because I thought it was too expensive. So we have that history and culture, and we're very committed to that.&quot;Page told investors that the company wants to remain innovative and encourage different types of projects from its employees, referring to a Google philosophy &quot;that we don't want to choke innovation.&quot; But he assured the crowd that search and advertising remain the company's core businesses and the areas that still receive the greatest investment.&quot;We spend the vast majority of our resources on our core businesses, which are search and advertising,&quot; said Page. &quot;Search being how we receive, you know, all the searches that we get, and advertising, how we are making the mass majority of our money. So, obviously, that's our core focus.&quot;Google's stock price has dropped around 16 percent since the start of the year when it was first announced that Page would take over as CEO. Critics have felt that the stock has suffered lately due in part to Page's inability to tout his own company.&quot;There is a huge swath of investors who know nothing about Larry,&quot; said Macquarie Securities analyst Ben Schachter, according to the Mercury News. &quot;We think the company is sort of missing an opportunity here to communicate what its strategy is...We think that is definitely an overhang for the stock.&quot;If so, then it remains to be seen if Page's appearance and speech yesterday will be enough to placate Wall Street and reassure anxious investors.Updated 9 a.m. PT with direct quotes from Page's speech.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Cree)LED lighting company Cree is taking on the overhead fluorescent lights that are a fixture of office buildings with a light source it says will quickly recoup the investment.The company today announced a new line of &quot;architectural troffers,&quot; or rectangular-shaped fixtures designed for overhead lighting. The troffers use Cree's LED light sources, which offer a longer life and improved efficiency over fluorescent lights, according to the company.Cree LED light sources in the overhead fixtures.(Credit:Cree)The fixtures offer a white light with an efficiency of 110 lumens per watt and a color rendering index, a measure of light quality, of 90. The lights can be dimmed and are designed to last 50,000 hours, which would be more than 10 years at 12 hours a day. The fixtures have a thermal management system designed for long life.Design services company O'Brien/Atkins Associates said in a statement that the measuring efficiency over the full product life cycle, including sizing, heating and cooling, and disposal, can be cut lighting costs by 60 percent.Using the national average for electricity prices of 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, Cree calculates that the payoff of office upgrades to LEDs can be less than one year to replace typical fluorescent tubes. Because of the higher upfront cost of LED lighting technology, consumer adoption of LED bulbs is expected to be slower than that of commercial customers. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[HOUSTON--The shuttle Discovery glided to a picture-perfect docking with the International Space Station on Saturday, the veteran space plane's 13th and final linkup with the orbiting outpost.With commander Steven Lindsey manually flying Discovery from the aft flight deck, the shuttle's payload bay docking system engaged its counterpart on the front end of the station's Harmony module at 1:14 p.m. CST.&quot;Station and Houston, Discovery has capture confirmed,&quot; an astronaut radioed.The shuttle Discovery, docked to the International Space Station&amp;39's forward port.(Credit:NASA TV)The historic linkup marked the first time in the station's 12-year history that spacecraft from the United States, Russia, the European Space Agency, and Japan were docked at the outpost at the same time.Later in the mission, if all goes well and mission managers concur, three station crew members will undock in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to photograph the lab complex and all the visiting vehicles from afar, capturing a unique moment that, with the shuttle's looming retirement, will never be repeated.But first, the combined crews have to complete the primary objectives of Discovery's mission, including attachment of a final U.S. module, loaded with critical supplies and equipment, and an external storage platform carrying a spare set of radiator panels.With the shuttle attached to the station, and with all of the visiting vehicles attached, the combined shuttle-station complex masses some 1.2 million pounds. It took longer than usual for relative motion between the two spacecraft to damp out, allowing the docking mechanism to firmly lock the shuttle in place, but it wasn't immediately clear if that was due to the mass of the vehicles or some other factor.Station commander Scott Kelly (center, facing camera) looks on as the shuttle Discovery&amp;39's crew enters the space station.(Credit:NASA TV)About 45 minutes later than planned, a final hatch between Discovery and the station was opened at 3:16 p.m., and 20 minutes after that, Expedition 26 commander Scott Kelly, along with Alexander Kaleri, Oleg Skripochka, Dmitry Kondratyev, Catherine Coleman, and Paolo Nespoli welcomed Lindsey and his shuttle crewmates--Eric Boe, Al Drew, Stephen Bowen, Michael Barratt, and Nicole Stott--into the space station.After a mandatory safety briefing, the flight plan called for the shuttle astronauts to press ahead with work to transfer spacesuits and other gear to the station.Barratt and Stott, operating the station's robot arm, planned to pull a cargo pallet out of Discovery's cargo bay. The pallet, known as external logistics carrier No. 4, is loaded with a spare set of radiator panels for the station's ammonia cooling system.ELC-4 will be mounted on the underside of the station's right-side solar power truss. To get it there, Barratt and Stott will hand it off to the shuttle's robot arm, operated by Boe and Drew.The station arm then will be repositioned, inchworm fashion, moving from the Harmony module to its mobile base workstation. When the move is complete, the shuttle arm will hand ELC-4 back to the station arm and the pallet will be mounted on the solar power truss for future use as needed.Because it took longer than expected to complete the docking procedure, the actual attachment of the cargo pallet may be deferred to Sunday.The shuttle Discovery performs a backflip maneuver during approach to the International Space Station, allowing the lab crew to photograph its heat shield.(Credit:NASA TV)Lindsey and Boe began the terminal phase of the rendezvous at 10:33 a.m. with a rocket firing to begin closing the final 9.2 miles to the station.Just after 1 p.m,. with the shuttle poised 600 feet directly below the lab complex, Lindsey guided Discovery through a routine-but-still-spectacular end-over-end backflip maneuver, allowing the station crew to photograph the orbiter's heat shield.Working in the Russian Zvezda command module, Coleman and Nespoli photographed Discovery's heat shield, using 400mm and 800mm telephoto lenses respectively, as the orbiter flipped about. The images will be downlinked to analysts in mission control at the Johnson Space Center here for detailed evaluation.During Discovery's launching Thursday, several pieces of foam insulation fell away from the ship's external tank, including some that appeared to contact the shuttle's heat shield. The foam shedding occurred well after the first 2 minutes and 15 seconds of flight when the dense lower atmosphere can cause debris to hit with a high relative velocity.Engineers do not believe the foam lost Thursday caused any significant damage, and nothing out of the ordinary could be seen in television views of the maneuver. But the photos taken by Coleman and Nespoli will be carefully scrutinized to make sure.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[AT&amp;amp'T President Ralph De La Vega assured AllThingsDigital in an interview that its $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile makes a lot of sense. Of course he&amp;'s going to say that.This deal is likely to face a lot of legal and consumer opposition, so it&amp;'s important for AT&amp;amp'T and T-Mobile to sell it well from the outset.De La Vega said the deal will alleviate one of the problems that both companies faced: the impending exhaustion of available wireless spectrum. The spectrum owned by both companies is complementary. He also said that merging two similar networks will create more network capacity as the density of the network grid increases.In major urban areas, De La Vega said that a combination of two networks will create more cell phone sites per grid, which raises the capacity in the network and improves the quality. You won&amp;'t get as many dropped calls in San Francisco, New York or Washington D.C.De La Vega said the deal ensures the  deployment of a robust 4G LTE network across 95 percent of the U.S.  population &amp;8212' something neither company could do on its own. T-Mobile didn&amp;'t have a clear path to LTE, so its 34 million customers now can take advantage of AT&amp;amp'T&amp;'s LTE network. AT&amp;amp'T says it will now be able to deliver LTE to more customers, including those in rural areas.As for antitrust challenges, De La Vega said he expects scrutiny on a market by market basis and on how the merger impacts competition. He says that in the top 20 markets, 18 have five or more competitors. Most of the country also has five or more competitors.&amp;''I think that the appropriate authorities will find there will still be plenty of competition left,&amp;'' he said. He also repeated a claim that wireless service prices have fallen 50 percent since 1999, even with five major mergers.Asked if AT&amp;amp'T will get bogged down in integration of T-Mobile, De La Vega said he had been through this before with the integration of AT&amp;amp'T Wireless and Cingular Wireless. In that merger, he said that the churn rate among users dropped by half within three years and margins improved.T-Mobile said the acquisition is expected to be approved within 12 months. Regarding the iPhone, T-Mobile said only it doesn&amp;'t offer it but offers cutting-edge devices of its own. It also said that all contracted plans that are entered into before the ownership will be honored. It also says it will continue to operate its network and handle its own bills.Next Story: Why sentiment analysis is the future of ad optimization Previous Story: AT&amp;038'T&amp;'s purchase of T-Mobile will test antitrust lawPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: antitrust, competition, wireless serviceCompanies: AT&amp;amp'T, T MobilePeople: Ralph De La Vega          Tags: antitrust, competition, wireless serviceCompanies: AT&amp;amp'T, T MobilePeople: Ralph De La VegaDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
