<description><![CDATA[Mommy, what&amp;39's &amp;34'paper&amp;34'(Credit:Apple iPad ad)Tablets may be starting to steal people away from their laptops, desktops, and even televisions, according to a survey released this week by Google's AdMob service.The survey--administered by Google's mobile-centric advertising network, traffic-tracking service, and trend-spotting business--was conducted last month and had 1,430 respondents. It doesn't specify any particular brand of tablet device.Among other results, 77 percent of respondents said their PC use dropped after they got a tablet, and 43 percent said they spend more time with their slates than with desktops or laptops. As for television, one in three of those who replied said they lock eyes with their tablets more than with their TVs. Additional findings:&amp;182'&amp;nbsp'&amp;nbsp'With tablets, &quot;mobile device&quot; seems to mean one that can be carried from the kitchen to the den to the bedroom' 82 percent of participants said they use their slates at home. Only 11 percent said they use them on the go, while the at-work category was chosen by just 7 percent. Also, people seem to be using their tablets more at night (62 percent) and during the week (69 percent). Well more than half of the participants--68 percent--said they spend at least an hour a day communing with their slates (38 percent said more than two hours).&amp;182'&amp;nbsp'&amp;nbsp'A tablet was the primary computer for 28 percent of survey participants.&amp;182'&amp;nbsp'&amp;nbsp'When asked to &quot;select all the ways you use your tablet,&quot; 84 percent of respondents ticked the &quot;playing games&quot; option. That was followed by searching for information (78 percent), e-mailing (74 percent), reading news (61 percent), social-networking (56 percent), checking out music and videos (51 percent), e-booking (46 percent), and shopping online (42 percent). The &quot;other&quot; category was ticked by 19 percent of those who participated.&amp;182'&amp;nbsp'&amp;nbsp'In the &quot;print is dead&quot; department, 59 percent of respondents said they use their tablets more than they read conventional, paper-based books. And in the &quot;tablets killed the radio star&quot; category, 52 percent said they surf their slate more often than they turn their dial.If the survey's results do indeed reflect larger trends, it's no wonder computer companies are falling over themselves to catch up with Apple's iPad. And it's no wonder cable-TV purveyors are working hard to expand their realm to include the gadgets.For its part, AdMob parent Google is working on a tablet version of its Chrome browser. And of course, it's the creator of Honeycomb, a challenger to Apple's iOS operating system (which powers theiPad).<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A new Trojan dubbed &quot;OddJob&quot; is stealing people's money by taking over their online banking sessions after they think they've logged off. The Trojan, which targets Windows-based computers, is being used by criminals in Eastern Europe to steal money from accounts in the United States, Poland, and Denmark, Amit Klein, chief technology officer of Trusteer, writes in a blog post today.  Klein said in an e-mail that he could not identify the banks being targeted or provide an estimate on the number of victims.  &quot;It is early days for this malware,&quot; he said. &quot;It appears to be a work in progress, so we expect the code to become more sophisticated over time.&quot; The Trojan intercepts communications that customers have with banking sites via Internet Explorer orFirefox, stealing or interjecting information and terminating user browser sessions when done, Trusteer said.  When a bank customer is on the bank site, the Trojan takes advantage of the session IT token to impersonate the customer, riding the coattails of the existing authenticated session. It then bypasses the logout request of the customer so that the session is not actually terminated when the customer thinks he or she is logging out. To avoid triggering security software, the malware's configuration is not saved to disk, but a fresh copy is fetched from the command and control server each time a new browser session is opened.  Web surfers can protect themselves by installing software security updates, refraining from clicking on URLs in e-mail messages, and using software that secures Web access, like Trusteer's Rapport product, the company said. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some Amazon customers say the popular $34.99 non-lighted Kindle cover is defective and causing their devices to freeze and sometimes reboot. (Credit:Amazon)If you have a new Kindle and have poked around for a cover for your device, you may have noticed some diverging user reviews on Amazon non-lighted Kindle Leather cover. While the cover has many five-star reviews, there are over 100 one-star reviews claiming the cover has problems that cause the device to freeze or reboot itself.In a recent review, for example, customer Gunjan Srivastava writes:I bought a kindle 3 (Wifi Only) about 3 months back and was using it without any trouble. Then, I bought this leather cover and suddenly my kindle ran into all sorts of problems. The screen froze frequently, kindle rebooted itself more than 4-5 times daily. I don't think it's a good idea to buy this product before amazon gets its act together. They have certainly not done a good job with this cover. I am going to replace this cover as soon as possible. My two cents - DON'T buy this cover.Apparently, the more expensive lighted cover ($59.99), which we really like, isn't causing any problems and some users have speculated that the metal hooks on the non-lighted cover are the culprit. Those hooks conduct electricity and power the lighted case but obviously don't need to power anything on the non-lighted version. We don't know whether Amazon uses the same hooks on both cases or whether there might have been some sort of mix up in the production process. But either way, according to a PCmag.com article, Amazon said it's looking into the problem, but will honor return or exchange requests.&quot;There have been some forum discussions regarding the non-lighted Kindle cover, and our engineering team is looking into this,&quot; the company said in an email statement that was also posted to its customer forum where users were complaining. &quot;Regardless, if anyone is having any problem with an Amazon-manufactured Kindle cover, please contact us at kindle-response@amazon.com, and we will be pleased to replace it for free or accept a return for a full refund, no matter when the cover was purchased.&quot;It's worth noting that Amazon had an issue last year with its Kindle cover for the second-generation Kindle. Some customers complained the metal hooks that held the Kindle in place were causing the Kindle to crack where the hooks attached to the device. Amazon resolved that problem after a customer filed a $5 million class action lawsuit.

<description><![CDATA[Today was supposed to be the day that 4Chan took down Tumblr. Instead, it looks like 4Chan itself is down. Could Tumblr be behind itAs you can see, 4Chan is down for everyone, not just me. And it has been that way for at least the past 15 minutes. The timing is interesting since it was supposed to be 5 PM ET when the 4Chan DDoS attack was to begin a4&quot; that was roughly 15 minutes ago. It is possible that Tumblr users, which had been planning a counterattack for tomorrow, moved it up to today to break 4ChanTumblr, by the way, is still very up.More to come, I&amp;'m sure.Update: It seems quite a few people are seeing various Tumblr sites down as well (though it&amp;'s still up for others).Update 2: And the 4Chan boards are up, but appear full of Tumblr users and a ton of things are 404ing.Update 3: Says Tumblr founder David Karp:As always, we&amp;'re aggressively suspending any accounts encouraging DoS attacks or other illegal behavior.Karp also noted that the hacked downtime image I had posted above was fake, so I removed it.[via Anthony De Rosa]CrunchBase InformationTumblr4chanInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Are you an app developer with a creation that&amp;'s ready for the klieg lights VentureBeat has partnered with Intel to provide a new showcase for your mobile app: VentureBeat&amp;'s Mobile App Spotlight.Why did we create this program Fundamentally, we want to help connect our readers with the latest innovations in the mobile and app worlds, and boost the efforts of entrepreneurs and inventors who are coming up with great new ideas. There&amp;'s been an explosion of creativity in mobile apps in the past few years &amp;8212' but that very fecundity has posed new challenges to developers.Here&amp;'s how it works: If you have a new app, submit it for consideration to the Mobile App Spotlight. VentureBeat&amp;'s editors will pick three apps to profile over the coming months, and they&amp;'ll be highlighted on VentureBeat&amp;'s homepage. (Note: To qualify as new &amp;8212' at least to our audience &amp;8212' the app must not have previously been written about in VentureBeat. If this program isn&amp;'t a fit, you can still keep us in the loop with your news &amp;8212' we&amp;'re glad to hear from you.) Apps written for any major smartphone platform are welcome.Why did we team up with Intel to create this program At VentureBeat, we&amp;'ve long tracked innovation in the mobile industry, before there was an App Store, iPads, or Android tablets. When we noticed that coaxing users to download an app was a growing challenge, we started covering app discovery and created the DiscoveryBeat series of events to discuss the technical and marketing challenges and the business opportunities in getting your hot app noticed. And Intel, our sponsor for the Spotlight, is increasingly interested in helping mobile-app developers solve the challenge of discovery, too.There are all kinds of tips and tricks that help you get your app out there. But one thing we consistently heard from developers is that it sure doesn&amp;'t hurt to get recognition from a publication like VentureBeat to get influential users&amp;' attention. Flattery aside, we get the message!And we hope you do, too: Submit your app today!The Intel AppUp Developer Program is sponsoring VentureBeat&amp;'s Mobile App Spotlight. However, VentureBeat&amp;'s editorial staff selects apps for the program according to its customary editorial standards, without input from Intel.Next Story: AT&amp;038'T finally gets a MiFi wireless hotspot of its own for $50 Previous Story: Rumors swirl over Twitter funding &amp;8212' but who&amp;'s getting a piece of the piePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: app discovery, app stores, Mobile App Spotlight, mobile apps          Tags: app discovery, app stores, Mobile App Spotlight, mobile appsOwen Thomas is the executive editor of VentureBeat.VentureBeat has new weekly email newsletters.

<description><![CDATA[In a move with huge implications for chip makers, Microsoft is expected to announce a version of Windows that will run on chips based on ARM designs for the first time.Bloomberg reported that Microsoft will make the announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, with the software tailored to run on battery-powered devices such as tablet computers and other handhelds. Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, will likely reveal the news in his keynote speech at the beginning of the show on Jan. 5.If true, the move could break Intel&amp;'s hold on the personal computer, effectively ending the &amp;''Wintel&amp;'' duopoly in favor of a market where many chip makers could supply chips for Windows machines.The new version of the operating system would enable Microsoft to attack rivals such as Apple, particularly in tablets and phones. With support for ARM chips, Microsoft could expand its reach beyond Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, which make x86 (or Intel-compatible) microprocessors. Since the original IBM PC debuted in 1981, computers have run on x86 processors.Rob Enderle, an analyst at the Enderle Group, said that Microsoft will likely dramatically slim down Windows to make it fit into the memory capacity of ARM machines.&amp;''They havena4a4t tried to do this since the late 90s and that didna4a4t end well,&amp;'' Enderle said. &amp;''There is enough headroom on Intel to emulate ARM and they could use their virtual machine technology to make this vastly easier than it once was. But this is one of the biggest risks they have ever taken.&amp;''ARM chips are made by a variety of smartphone chip makers, including Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Marvell, Broadcom and Nvidia. Even Apple makes its own A4 ARM-based processor, but don&amp;'t expect to see Windows on Apple machines, unless they&amp;'re running virtualization software of some kind.Microsoft has often launched versions of Windows for smaller devices by pruning back the operating system. By making the full version of Windows available on those devices, it may have better luck competing in the new devices.But there is a lot of inertia that favors Intel in this situation. Windows applications won&amp;'t automatically run on ARM devices. They will have to be painstakingly ported, or adapted, to run on the ARM chips. A poorly ported Intel-based Windows app will likely run extremely slowly on an ARM chip.One observer with many years of tech experience said, &amp;''The biggest news here is an acknowledgment by Microsoft that for the first time in its history, the DOS/Windows franchise is being threatened by other platforms.&amp;''Intel and AMD, meanwhile, are making low-power versions of their x86 chips that could be used in smaller devices. As Intel comes down from the full-featured PC, it is running into ARM, which is coming up from the humble feature phone. The collision will be spectacular and will likely lead to lower prices for chips and cheaper, better devices for consumers.If the ARM chips succeed in getting into PCs, Intel&amp;'s vast profits from its x86 business could be vulnerable. Microsoft declined to comment to Bloomberg, as did Intel and ARM.Next Story: TextPlus approved for new social group texting app Previous Story: How Twitter acquires peoplePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: smartphones, tablets, WindowsCompanies: Arm, Broadcom, Intel, Marvell, Microsoft, Nvidia, Texas InstrumentsPeople: steve ballmer          Tags: smartphones, tablets, WindowsCompanies: Arm, Broadcom, Intel, Marvell, Microsoft, Nvidia, Texas InstrumentsPeople: steve ballmerDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Adeo Ressi, the founder of VC-review website TheFunded and entrepreneur training program the Founder Institute, says ita4a4s nearly impossible to teach entrepreneurship.Ressi made the statement at a talk in Singapore back in October, which has just been posted online. If that seems like an odd statement coming from the head of a startup incubator, well, Ressi isna4a4t arguing that we should throw up our hands and give up on entrepreneurship.Instead, he said that with only 2 percent of the population really suited to creating a company (due to genetics, motivation, and other factors &amp;8212' factors that the Founder Institute tries to identify in its application test), ita4a4s all the more crucial for governments and others to create the right environment for startups to flourish. In an email, Ressi elaborated:The success of entrepreneurship in a society is dependent on the characteristics of the local ecosystem. Subtle changes in the availability of capital and in regulation can change the type of companies created. For example, weak bankruptcy protection fosters service businesses. Over-funding leads to many me-too businesses with a high failure rate.You can see his full argument in the video and presentation embedded below.Adeo Ressi on Global Entrepreneurship from Video3 Ressi on Vimeo.Previous Story: No more manquisitions: 5 New Year&amp;'s resolutions for the tech worldPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Companies: Founder InstitutePeople: Adeo Ressi          Companies: Founder InstitutePeople: Adeo RessiAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.

<description><![CDATA[AT&amp;amp'T finally spilled the beans on the plans for its next-generation network at its Developer Summit today, an event held in conjunction with the giant Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The company says that it expects to launch its 4G network using LTE technology by the middle of the year' it just completed the deployment of its slightly-faster HSPA+ network (which AT&amp;amp'T also considers &amp;''4G&amp;'').By the end of the year, AT&amp;amp'T expects to have 20 4G devices available, including smartphones, tablets and mobile broadband hotspots.It&amp;'s good news for AT&amp;amp'T, since we previously thought it wouldn&amp;'t have its 4G network ready until the end of the year, or even until 2012. And it shows how data-intensive devices are driving faster change in the telecom world.The company says that its current HSPA+ network gets around 6 Mbps for many users, around two times faster than its typical 3G network. AT&amp;amp'T&amp;'s investment in HSPA+ may pay off in the end, since it will allow its 4G LTE devices to have faster network access when outside of LTE reception areas. In comparison, Verizon&amp;'s LTE devices will fall back on its 3G network that isn&amp;'t as fast as HSPA+.Motorola joined the stage with AT&amp;amp'T to show off the Atrix 4G, AT&amp;amp'T&amp;'s first smartphone with a dual-core chip that runs at a whopping 2 gigahertz, and features 1 gigabyte of RAM. The phone is so powerful that Motorola will offer a dock that lets you plug in the Atrix 4G so you can use it as a virtual laptop.Tablets featuring HSPA+ and LTE 4G support will arrive in the second half of the year. Motorola will lead the way with a 10.1-inch HSPA+ tablet running Android 3.0 on a 1-gigahertz Nvidia Tegra 2 chip.[Homepage photo: ETC@USC]Next Story: How Sonic Solutions is powering Hollywood&amp;'s broadband dreams Previous Story: YouSendIt acquires startups Attassa and Zosh to mix up document deliveryPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: 4G, Atrix 4G, CES, CES 2011, HSPA, LTE, smartphonesCompanies: AT&amp;amp'T, motorola          Tags: 4G, Atrix 4G, CES, CES 2011, HSPA, LTE, smartphonesCompanies: AT&amp;amp'T, motorolaDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[GetJar just announced that it has raised $25 million in a third round of funding for what it calls the largest a4Aopena4 mobile app store in the world.The news comes just a few days after chief executive and founder Ilja Laurs published an op-ed arguing that the United States is a4Astill the land of opportunity for VC funding.a4 It seems he had even more reason to make that argument than was obvious at the time.San Mateo, Calif.-headquartered GetJar says that users have downloaded more than 1.5 billion applications from its store, which supports Android, BlackBerry, iOS, and other devices. The company had a huge success last fall when it was the first app store to offer the hit Angry Birds game for Android &amp;8212' though the demand was so high that its site went down temporarily.The round was led by Tiger Global Management.
