<description><![CDATA[Geeks, pay attention here. Those of you who feel like your dudeliness, your man-mojo, your virility isn't up to snuff, Microsoft wants to help. The software giant launched a new app for itsWindows Phone 7 called Onit, described as a &quot;guy's guide to girls,cars, gadgets, fitness, and life advice--plus a touch of humor.&quot; Because, after all, who better to turn to for advice for help with &quot;the ladies&quot; than Microsoft.MSN Onit screenshot(Credit:Microsoft)The free app promises to curate men's lifestyle content from magazines and Web sites. Onit, as in &quot;Bro, we are so on it,&quot; plans to offer auto reviews, workout tips, sports highlights, and fashion advice. The folks at the Windows Phone 7 app-watching site marketplacebrowser.com, using what appears to be Microsoft-written marketing copy, gush that &quot;MSN Onit brings you a weekly dose of beautiful women, financial tips, the gadgets you need, the technology you lust after, and local news.&quot;Clearly, Microsoft wants to tap the 18-34-year-old male demographic, a lucrative market if ever there was one for mobile advertising. That's why, in addition to all the Maxim-like offerings, the app will also promote local activities for guys to hit, presumably as they trawl for action. And Onit will also offer tips for picking beers. (Who knew that was a such a challenge) Those suggestions could lure restaurant advertisers.Just as Microsoft is playing catch-up with theiPhone with its Windows Phone 7, so too is it coming from behind with men's lifestyle apps. The iTunes store already offers apps such as iGentleman, a self-proclaimed men's style guide, and The Men's Book, which describes itself as &quot;the ultimate resource for the stylish, affluent man.&quot;Whether or not men will turn to Microsoft to sort out their dude-needs remains to be seen. Then again, if you're even thinking about downloading the app, chances are, it couldn't hurt. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Volkswagen)What with gasoline prices at the pump well past $3 a gallon--and edging ever higher--drivers understandably are pining for the day when technology will come to their rescue. If you're willing to wait a couple of years, Volkswagen may have what you're waiting for. At an auto show in Qatar this week, Volkswagen showed off a proof-of-conceptcar that will get 261 miles to the gallon. The XL1, a two cylinder, two-seater made from carbon fiber, is expected to go into production sometime in the next two years. If the auto's fuel efficiency lives up to the advance billing, VW likely will be able to say it makes the world's most economical car. This is a retooled design of a concept vehicle that the company initially showed at the 2009 Frankfurt auto show. At the time, VW said the car would get almost 170 miles per gallon. The idea got an early thumbs-up from Consumer Reports, which wrote that the the XL1 &quot;demonstrates how far relatively conventional technology [takes] fuel economy. It will be interesting to see if Volkswagen is able to bring this car to market overseas and how successfully they can bring down the cost of producing the carbon-fiber body.&quot; Volkswagen is not the only automaker planning to make carbon fiber autos' so are BMW and Mercedes. You can find the full spec list for the XL1 here.(Credit:Volkswagen)This story originally appeared on CBSNews.com. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Perhaps you read the news late last week or this past weekend that Microsoft is shifting their strategy when it comes to Silverlight. Essentially, they indicated that they were commited to using it as the development platform for Windows Phone, and for certain media applications (like Netflix), but for a true cross-platform strategy, they&amp;'re going to shift their focus to HTML5. That all sounds great. It makes a lot of sense.Well, unless you&amp;'re a Silverlight developer. Then you might be a little worried and/or pissed off.In fact, following&amp;nbsp'Bob Muglia&amp;'s (Microsofta4a4s SVP of the Server and Tools Business) comments last week during PDC, there was a bit of an uproar in the Silverlight Forums. So it&amp;'s hardly surprising today that we have Muglia directly responding with a follow-up blog post. And perhaps it shouldn&amp;'t be too surprising that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has also issued his own post with his thoughts on PDC where he makes mention of Silverlight a4&quot; 6 times in 5 paragraphs.All of this came about be ZDNet&amp;'s Mary-Jo Foley noticed that Microsoft didn&amp;'t make many mentions of Silverlight, a key development tool in the making for years now, at their key developers conference. And so she asked Muglia about it. In his statement today, Muglia is quick to point out that Foley reported what he said accurately, but wants to also make it clear that he didn&amp;'t mean Silverlight is dead, just that the focus is shifting.Reading over his comments, it does appear he&amp;'s saying basically the same thing he said last week. But instead of focusing on the key part, that Microsoft is shifting to HTML5 for their true cross-platform strategy, he focuses on what Microsoft isn&amp;'t changing in their Silverlight commitment. In other words, he completely buries the lede.That&amp;'s fine, he probably had to do that to calm people down.&amp;nbsp'But the fact remains that this is a significant shift away from Silverlight on arguably the most important platform of all: the web.&amp;''The purpose of Silverlight has never been to replace HTML, but rather to do the things that HTML (and other technologies) cana4a4t, and to do so in a way thata4a4s easy for developers to use,&amp;'' Muglia writes. But now he&amp;'s saying that Microsoft will be looking to HTML5 to do much of those things going forward. So again, that is a significant change in strategy.Ballmer, meanwhile, probably added a number of those &amp;''Silverlight&amp;'' references into his statement following the uproar. Silverlight. Silverlight. Silverlight. Silverlight. Silverlight. Is dead. Long live Silverlight! Or something.CrunchBase InformationMicrosoft SilverlightInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our sister-site trendwatching.com''s latest briefing focuses on the EXCEPTIONALL, highlighting the fact that exceptional B2C innovations will increasingly come from all corners of the globe, with brands and talent from emerging markets getting ready to shine. The briefing is full of fun examples, here are five to get you started:CHINA | Forever is a Shanghai based bicycle brand founded in the 1940s. Having fallen out of favor in the 1990s, the brand was relaunched under the leadership of 23-year-old Chen Shan, offering a range of bikes in bright colors, appealing to younger consumers. The company now sells 1.3 million bikes a year.INDONESIA | The Magno AM/FM radio is handcrafted using sustainable materials in an Indonesian village. Profits from sales go back to initiatives supporting the producers such as the education in handicraft and work skills and the growth of plantations for wood used to make the products. TURKEY | Istanbul-based graphic designer Beste Miray came up with the idea of selecting a location in Google Maps and using a print-out of the map as the inside of an envelope to send to a friend via old-fashioned snail mail. Later, a New York designer took that concept and launched a web application for it: Mapenvelope. BRAZIL | Cosmetics brand Kapeh uses coffee from the Brazilian state Minas Gerais in all of its formulations. The products, which include moisturizers, soap and bath oils, are now exported to the Netherlands and Portugal, as well as being available online.INDIA | An innovation by Indian mega-national Tata, the Swach is a water filter and purifier that produces clean drinking water through the use of common ash. The portable purifier doesn''t require running water or electricity.For many more examples, check out trendwatching.com''s briefing. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Last night was interesting. I was sitting down to do some last-minute research for a post I was working on (this one) when news began to break that North Korea had just attacked South Korea. As usual, news was flowing through Twitter faster than any one source, but I needed a way to filter the noise. Oddly enough, the product I was writing about is perfect for that: Curated.by.Using Curated.by&amp;'s extension, I began flagging tweets that I found to be most useful for the Korea situation. Then I checked the Curated.by site to see that someone else was already way ahead of me (in this case, co-founder Bastian Lehmann), so I started following his curation of the events. It was fascinating to watch a tool go from interesting to useful in seconds.As its name and all of the above implies, Curated.by is a service that lets you quickly pick certain elements of the web to showcase in your own stream. Right now, this is largely based around Twitter, but the plan is that any type of content should be able to live inside a Curated.by stream. That&amp;'s the strategy Lehmann wants to employ to make his service the &amp;''Smithsonian of the web,&amp;'' as he puts it.Using an extension built for Google Chrome, Curated.by is able to augment twitter.com to add a new &amp;''Curate&amp;'' button below each tweet. Clicking on this button allows you to add a tweet to any Curated.by bundle you&amp;'re in control of. (The button can also add a tweet to your Twitter Favorites.) These bundles are found on Curated.by&amp;'s site. They&amp;'re&amp;nbsp'essentially&amp;nbsp'human-filtered streams of information from Twitter and links from around the web (the links can be added by pasting a story URL on the bundle page). There&amp;'s also a bookmarklet for those not using Chrome.These bundles can then be easily embedded elsewhere on the web, such as in a blog post, to give people an easy-to-follow overview of a topic. In this regard, Curated.by is similar to a company that launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in September, Storify.But a big part of Curated.by&amp;'s idea is also using algorithms to surface topics that you&amp;'re interested in. Or, to stick with the Smithsonian analogy, &amp;''an algorithm that shows you which painting people are going to stand in front of the longest at a museum,&amp;'' Lehmann says. And the idea is to let multiple people collaborate on the same bundle to make it the most complete on any given topic.Today marks the beta launch of Curated.by, which Lehmann says already contains over 1,600 topics and over 25,000 curated links and tweets. The service was one of the initial eight chosen to launch out of AngelPad, a new startup incubator in San Francisco. They formally unveiled their plan at the AngelPad demo day a couple weeks ago.And the company is already thinking about the business model as they&amp;'re preparing a private domain-wide enterprise version of the software to facilitate sharing without a company network. Companies are encouraged to sign up early here.The company currently has just two people right now (Lehmann and co-founder Sam Street), and have taken just a small seed round of funding from AngelPad.CrunchBase Informationcurated.byInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So it&amp;'s come down to this, has it The U.S. car-buying public is apparently so stupid that the Environmental Protection Agency has to rate the efficiency of an all-electric car that burns no gasoline in &amp;8230' miles per gallon.[facepalm]That&amp;'s the only possible reaction to the news earlier this week that the EPA has approved a &amp;''fuel-economy&amp;'' label for the 2011 Nissan Leaf electric car showing a rating of 99 &amp;''miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe).&amp;''The ratings for the gasoline the Leaf doesn&amp;'t burn in the city is 106 &amp;''MPGe&amp;'' and the rating for the fuel it can&amp;'t use in highway travel is 92 MPGe.There is actually method to the EPA&amp;'s madness. The energy content of 1 gallon of gasoline is 33.7 kilowatt-hours. The 2011 Nissan Leaf has a 24-kWh battery pack of which it uses approximately 80 percent.And the EPA calculates a driving range of 73 miles in its combined cycles, &amp;''based on the five-cycle tests using varying driving conditions and climate control.&amp;'' Just as &amp;''your mileage may vary,&amp;'' electric-car range depends on a variety of factors, including speed, aggressiveness, outside temperature, and number of accessories used.As well as the 99-MPGe rating, the Leaf&amp;'s window sticker will also display a charging time of seven hours using 240-volt charging station.The basic message, though, is that the 2011 Nissan Leaf is best for the environment and best in its midsize vehicle class for its gas mileage. Even if it doesn&amp;'t actually use any. Which is, we suppose, definitely best.Sheesh.[For everything we've published on the Nissan Leaf, winner of GreenCarReports' 2011 Best Car To Buy Award, see our Ultimate Guide to the 2011 Nissan Leaf.]So if we&amp;'re so smart, what would we do We think the American public is quite capable of dealing with energy measured in kilowatt-hours. We&amp;'ve been doing it with our electric bills for, oh, what, 50 years or soSo why not a simple metric saying how many kilowatt-hours an electric car would use to go 100 miles That way, you could do a quick calculation and say, for instance, that the 34.0 kWh it would take for the Leaf to go 100 miles would cost you $3.40 (if your electricity costs 10 cents/kWh).Which pretty much anyone can at least sense is way lower than the $12 it would take a 25-mpg car to go that same 100 miles on $3/gallon gas.It would also allow you to compare efficiencies among different electric vehicles. How would the 2011 Leaf compare to, say, next year&amp;'s 2012 Mitsubishi &amp;''I&amp;'' in efficiency of energy use The lower the number of kWh used to travel 100 miles, the better the efficiency.We&amp;'re tempted to reprise our whole &amp;''MPG is stupid&amp;'' topic, complete with confirmation from the National Research Council.But, hey, look at all the good that did. Now we&amp;'ve got electric cars with &amp;''gas mileage.&amp;''It&amp;'s enough to make us want an adult beverage. Or three.Written by John Voelcker, this article originally appeared on GreenCarReports.com, one of VentureBeat&amp;'s editorial partners.Next Story: As its CEO steps down, whata4a4s happening at RockYou Previous Story: Socialwise raises $3.4M to slap teen allowances on credit cardsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: electric cars, Leaf, MPG, MPGe, Nissan LeafCompanies: EPA, Nissan          Tags: electric cars, Leaf, MPG, MPGe, Nissan LeafCompanies: EPA, NissanVentureBeat has new weekly email newsletters.

<description><![CDATA[Enterprise cloud management software company Abiquo has raised around $10 million in a second round of funding. The company is ramping up its global sales and marketing in a bid to compete in an increasingly crowded a4Aprivatea4 cloud marketplace.Cloud computing allows computers and mobile devices to bundle off all their resource-intensive data crunching off site to larger, better-equipped servers. Abiquo creates software that lets companies create and manage private, public and hybrid clouds. This means that instead of relying primarily on an on-premise control policy, like Rackspace and Amazon EC2,Abiquo seeks to give every member of a team, from individual users to entire units of a company, the ability to access the cloud at any given time.The company terms this a a4Asingle-pane of glassa4 approach because users can manage an entire, globally deployed, computing infrastructure across unlimited physical and cloud resources including private, public and hybrid clouds simultaneously. Each user has a level of access that is then tailored to their various needs at the time.The Redwood City, Calif.,-based company had long sought to differentiate itself from other internal-cloud vendors such as Eucalyptus, VMware, Cloud.com and Nimbula and has racked up some big-name clients such as Telefonica and Ericsson.Thus far, its approach has netted it almost $15.8 million from a variety of investors, with this round of funding being lead by well-known European venture capital firm Balderton Capital and including existing investors Nauta Capital and Eurecan.As part of the the deal, Bernard Liautaud, a partner at Balderton Capital, will join Abiquo&amp;'s board. Liautaud is best known for being founder and CEO of enterprise software company Business Objects, which SAP acquired in 2007 for $6.8 billion.Previous Story: How&amp;'s your beta test going Ask users with PrefineryPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: cloud computing, Venture CapitalCompanies: Abiquo, Amazon EC2, balderton capital, Business Objects, Cloud.com, Ericsson, Eucalyptus, Nimbula, Rackspace, VMWarePeople: Bernard Liautaud          Tags: cloud computing, Venture CapitalCompanies: Abiquo, Amazon EC2, balderton capital, Business Objects, Cloud.com, Ericsson, Eucalyptus, Nimbula, Rackspace, VMWarePeople: Bernard LiautaudRiley McDermid is a contributing reporter to VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Advertising startup Media6Degrees has raised $17 million in a second round of venture funding for what it calls a4Asocial targeting.a4The New York-headquartered company says it uses anonymous social data to go beyond normal online ad targeting, which is traditionally based on audience demographics or the content on a website. Instead, Media6Degrees finds a4Abrand loyalistsa4 or other audience members who have a strong connection to the advertiser, and it builds a customized audience for advertisers based on the loyalists&amp;' closest social connections.In the funding press release, the company says that it has 110 active brand-name clients, and that ita4a4s on $30 million annual revenue run rate for the fourth quarter of the year (meaning that it will make $7.5 million between October and December). It seems like therea4a4s a huge opportunity for growth here, since advertising on social networks is at such an early stage.AllThingsDa4a4s Peter Kafka notes that the investment comes as the federal government wants Web browsers and websites to offer more user control when it comes to online privacy. The deal suggests investors arena4a4t too worried about a government crackdown, Kafka argues.The new round comes Menlo Ventures and previous investors US Venture Partners and Venrock. Media6Degrees initially raised funding in the form of convertible notes from Coriolis Ventures, then it raised a $9 million round last year.Next Story: Why Verizon needs the iPhone to stay in the lead Previous Story: Microsoft and Google&amp;'s war takes to the skiesPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: ad targeting, privacy, Social networks, social targetingCompanies: Media6degrees, Menlo Ventures, U.s.
