<description><![CDATA[Google said today a storage software update was responsible for causing some Gmail users to lose access to their e-mail data and said full functionality would be restored soon. Some Gmail users complained yesterday of suddenly and mysteriously losing e-mails, contacts, and folders. Google originally said 0.29 percent of the user base was affected by the issue but has since revised that figure to less than 0.02 percent, or about 40,000 of the service's 200 million accounts.In an update on the situation this evening, Ben Treynor, Google VP of engineering and site reliability czar, apologized for the inconvenience and said the company expects to have the lost data restored soon. &quot;The good news is that email was never lost and we've restored access for many of those affected,&quot; Treynor wrote in a company blog. &quot;Though it may take longer than we originally expected, we're making good progress and things should be back to normal for everyone soon.&quot;Treynor explained that, even though Google keeps multiple copies of the data in multiple data centers, sometimes &quot;software bugs can affect several copies of the data.&quot; As a safety measure, the company backs up data on offline tapes, which makes restoring the data more time consuming than transferring requests between data centers, Treynor said.When Google realized the software update was responsible for introducing the bug, it stopped the deployment and reverted to the old software version, Treynor said.The issue came to Google's attention yesterday when users started lighting up the company's support forums with complaints of lost e-mails. &quot;I have lost ALL on my emails/folders etc. from gmail. Why would this happen How can I restore everything&quot; wrote user bkishan wrote in the forum.Treynor also cautioned that e-mail sent to affected users between 6 p.m. PT yesterday and 2 p.m. today likely went undelivered but that the message sender should have received a notification that the e-mail was undelivered.Affected users can follow Google's efforts to restore their data on the Apps Status Dashboard. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The IKEA Group will soon have its own wind farm in Dalarna County, Sweden.The Swedish furniture retail giant announced today it's partnered with Stockholm-based O2 to oversee the construction and maintenance of a nine-turbine wind farm slated to be completed in 2012.At full capacity the wind farm is expected to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 17 IKEA stores in Sweden.Owning a wind farm in Sweden will enable IKEA to further its ultimate goal of running on 100 percent renewable energy to power, heat, and cool its facilities in Sweden, the company said in a statement.IKEA has already made headway into the transition to renewable power, buying three wind farms in France from Volkswind in 2009, and six German-based wind farms from Spain's Gamesa in 2010. It now currently owns 52 wind turbines that together generate about 10 percent of the IKEA Group's total energy use, according to company estimates.The terms of the deal were not disclosed but an IKEA spokeswoman did tell the financial news service Bloomberg that building the wind farm was expected to cost IKEA &quot;several hundred million kronor&quot; (100 million is about $15.6 million).<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[About a week ago, we noted that social mapping company Waze was getting big. Actually, with over 2 million drivers helping them map the planet, and over 250 million kilometers logged, they&amp;'re already really big. And today investors are putting their money where the miles are as the company has just raised a $25 million Series B round of funding.The large second round is being led by existing investors Blue Run Ventures, with other existing investors,a4sMagma Venture Partners and Vertex Venture Capital taking part. The round also includes new strategic investors including Qualcomm Ventures. It&amp;'s a very nice round for the company, that they want to make very clear to us puts them roughly on part with Twitter in terms of funding at this stage.Actually, they look to be past where Twitter was at this point (Twitter&amp;'s Series B was a &amp;''mere&amp;'' $15 million).So, what will all this money be used for Obviously, hiring more employees, but also new marketing initiatives, the company says. And given their growth, they&amp;'re going to put quite a bit of money into their infrastructure so that they can continue to scale.They&amp;'re also officially moving their headquarters from Tel Aviv to Palo Alto. &amp;''Waze has been focusing on social interactions and real time data and we need to grow our team here, and fast,&amp;'' they tell us.And so the journey forward continues in America.CrunchBase InformationWazeInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Cisco is rooting for Google&amp;'s Android mobile operating system a4&quot; but probably not for the most genuine of reasons.The provider of networking technology is betting that Google&amp;'s relatively open approach to allowing apps on its mobile platform will let in less-secure code, forcing IT professionals to bring in Cisco&amp;'s technology to secure their networks, said Tom Gillis (pictured right), general manager of Cisco&amp;'s Security Technology Business Unit.The Android operating system is more open than other development ecosystems, meaning it&amp;'s easier to develop and publish applications on Google&amp;'s official Android Market and other third-party app marketplaces. Contrast that with Apple&amp;'s tightly controlled process for getting apps into iTunes. But because there&amp;'s very little oversight, security concerns exist for larger companies that let their employees use Android phones. Some applications might leak data or fail to meet strict security standards at some large companies.&amp;''As a security vendor, we&amp;'re rooting for Android,&amp;'' Gillis said. &amp;''There are going to be problems with that platform, guaranteed.&amp;''The Apple approach, a closed app-approval process, is inherently more secure, he said. Each application that&amp;'s submitted to the iTunes App Store has to be manually approved and gets a once-over from an Apple employee. So it&amp;'s harder for more malicious or less secure software to make it onto the phone.The biggest change in security is going to be a shift to more security on networks. More companies are letting their employees use devices of their choice rather than supplying company phones or other mobile devices. Cisco, for example, lets its employees pick a device of their choice and then secures it by locking up data in certain applications. That security happens through the network, rather than through an anti-virus software.Right now, the markets are about equal for network security and endpoint security a4&quot; basically antivirus software from companies like Symantec and McAfee. Both markets are worth about $6 billion, he said. But over the next several years, the tide will shift toward network security, making antivirus software less relevant a4&quot; but not totally lost, he said.That&amp;'s bad news for Symantec, which plans to focus almost exclusively on endpoint security, he said. McAfee has been on the right track, and surprisingly so has Microsoft with its Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software.Gillis said it would be around three or four years before malware on mobile devices a4&quot; especially Android a4&quot; became a significant problem. That&amp;'s because adoption of these phones is still in its early phase. A few instances of malware have popped up in the wild already, but those have mostly been on third-party marketplaces. There hasn&amp;'t been a major security fiasco on Google&amp;'s Android operating system yet, but odds are, it&amp;'s coming, he said.This post was sponsored by WatchMouse, a service which monitors websites, Web applications, and web API&amp;'s for availability and performance from an external perspective.

<description><![CDATA[Google today debuted a newDelicious migration tool for Google Bookmarks, as it aims squarely at fans of Yahoo&amp;'s bookmarking service who have been worried that its retiring could lose them their carefully chosen links.Delicious, which Yahoo acquired in 2005, provides users with a way to share Web bookmarks and discover new, interesting websites.The newGoogle Bookmarks importer allows a user to login with either an existing Yahoo ID or Delicious ID to import all your bookmarks and tags. That data then lets a user instantly integrate Delicious tags with existing Google Bookmarks links.Google&amp;'s timing seems right.Reportssurfaced in December that Yahoo was going to a4Asunseta4 the service &amp;8212' a fancy way of saying it will kill Delicious &amp;8212' after a number of leaked slides from an internal Yahoo presentation hit the Internet. The slide wasposted on Twitter by Eric Marcoullier, who cofounded blog social network MyBlogLog, another service listed in the a4Asunseta4 column.The slide says that Yahoo Picks, AltaVista, Yahoo Buzz, and other services are also targeted for shutdown.Google&amp;'s new service will come as a relief to Delicious users who had been worried that an abrupt end to the services could see them lose all their data.Last May Google had attempted to draw in some Delicious users by launching a rival site, Lists for Bookmarks, a more social feature for bookmarking. Lists allowed users to copy all their bookmarks into lists in order to share publicly, but it never seemed to gain the traction Delicious did.At the time of Yahoo&amp;'s buy-up, Delicious founder Joshua Schachter was stilla Google employee, but has since moved on to found stealth startup Tasty Labs.Photo via bm.iphone on FlickrPrevious Story: The curious story of electric cars and TexasPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: bookmarks, Google Bookmarks, Yahoo Buzz, yahoo picksCompanies: altavista, Delicious, Google, MyBlogLog, Tasty Labs, YahooPeople: joshua shachter          Tags: bookmarks, Google Bookmarks, Yahoo Buzz, yahoo picksCompanies: altavista, Delicious, Google, MyBlogLog, Tasty Labs, YahooPeople: joshua shachterRiley McDermid is a contributing reporter to VentureBeat.
