<description><![CDATA[The TWCable TV iPad app.(Credit:Time Warner Cable)Time Warner Cable has been forced to remove 17 channels from its recently releasediPad app, the company announced today.Citing &quot;overwhelming demand,&quot; the cable provider said that after users started downloading its free iPad app yesterday, its systems, which are used to authenticate a user to watch its programming, were hit hard, &quot;causing an inability for some customers to download it on Tuesday evening.&quot; In order to provide customers with some service as Time Warner Cable updates the app, the company has reduced the number of available channels down to 15 from the 32 that were available at launch.&quot;We apologize that some of our customers who attempted to use the new TWCableTV app for the iPad were unable to do so last night,&quot; Time Warner Cable President and COO Rob Marcus said in a statement. &quot;While we anticipated that the app would be popular, the demand was overwhelming. We are sorry for any frustration and inconvenience our customers experienced.&quot;Time Warner Cable's TWCable TV app hit Apple's marketplace yesterday. The app allows Time Warner Cable television and Internet customers to watch programming from a variety of networks, including A&amp;E, Bravo, Discovery, and others over Wi-Fi in their homes. The company's programming cannot be accessed away from the customer's house over a 3G network.Time Warner Cable says that its reduction in available channels is only temporary and will help &quot;to ease strain on the authentication process while we work on a permanent fix.&quot; However, it didn't say when it will be restoring the removed channels.A company representative did not immediately respond to request for comment.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Suspicious code is lurking in a repackaged Chinese version of a tool Google released last weekend to remotely clean malicious apps off Android phones, Symantec said today. This &quot;trojanized&quot; package was found on an unregulated third-party Chinese marketplace and not on the official Android Market, Symantec said in a blog post.  After 58 malicious apps were found on the Android Market last week and downloaded onto about 260,000 devices, Google removed the apps from the market and then wiped them from the phones too. Now, Symantec says someone appears to have taken the &quot;Android Market Security Tool&quot; used to clean up the devices infected with the malware, repackaged it and inserted code in it that seems to be able to send SMS messages if instructed by a command-and-control server.  It also looks like the code used in the new threat is based on a project hosted on Google Code and licensed under the Apache License, according to Symantec.  A Google spokesman provided this statement when asked for comment: &quot;We encourage Android users to only install applications from sources they trust.&quot; Several things should raise red flags for people with this threat -- it's not on the official, trusted Android Market and it requires a user to install it whereas the Google tool used an automatic push function to distribute the legitimate app. The initial malware found on the Android Market, dubbed &quot;DroidDream,&quot; not only could capture user and product information from a device but also had the ability to download more code capable of further damage. &quot;We have added detection for the trojanized version of Google's application as Android.Bgserv,&quot; Symantec said. Meanwhile, a Kaspersky researcher has questioned the efficacy and methods of Google's Android security tool itself. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Late last year I posted a blog item about big data and if/when it would present opportunities for storage vendors. I concluded by saying that, while it was a bit early for next-year prognostications, I expected to see the number of storage devices aimed at analytics applications blossom in 2011 with more storage vendors pursuing the opportunity. It's now 2011 and I stand by that prediction. However, at least three definitions of big data have blossomed since that posting: Big-data storage: systems that store really big (as in humongous) amounts of data Big-data analytics: systems that use new analytics processes to crunch really big amounts of data from multiple sources and deliver information in real or near real timeBig-data storage that supports big-data analytics.To understand what big data storage is from the vendor point of view, one need look no further than EMC's positioning of its Isilon acquisition. EMC has written &quot;big data&quot; all over this one. But when you parse the text, big data here refers mainly to applications that use and produce humongous amounts of data that is stored not only on disk but tape as well. High-definition video processing applications used by media and entertainment moguls figure prominently here. The processing of genomic sequences is another big-data storage example.Big-data analytics is very different. Interestingly enough, we can look to the CTO of another EMC acquisition for guidance. Luke Lonergan, CTO of EMC/Greenplum, defines big-data analytics in the context of EMC's Data Computing Division. At a conference for analysts last week, Lonergan defined big-data analytics as &quot;using and leveraging data that is streaming in from all angles that makes businesses work better.&quot;However, during the same presentation, Lonergan hinted at a third meaning of big data--big-data storage that supports big-data analytics--when he spoke of the possibility that EMC/Isilon scale-out NAS could be connected to EMC/Greenplum data analytics. That would be interesting because EMC/Greenplum's database architecture (PDF) is defined as &quot;shared-nothing,&quot; not even storage, while Isilon scale-out NAS is a shared storage system. So when you hear vendors talk about big data, be sure to ask: do they mean big-data storage, big-data analytics, or big-data storage that supports big-data analytics. I know that's a mouthful, but clarity here is everything. IBM is also big in big data (they call it Smarter Planet) and have a scale-out NAS (SoNAS) system as well. HP could make big-data announcements that include their IBRIX-based, X9000 NAS system as well.And if it turns out that the vendor speaks of shared storage in what is typically a shared-nothing storage environment, take notes. In fact, if you don't mind, cc me. I'm cataloging these. Calpont's InfiniDB is an example of one, and I'm on the lookout for others.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Josh Lowensohn/CNET)If upfront cost had been a barrier to entry for potentialWindows Phone 7 customers, that problem seems to have been solved by Amazon. As part of a limited-time sale, the Web retail giant is offering a smattering of Windows Phone 7 devices on AT&amp;T's network for 1 cent each.Included in the sale is LG's Quantum, the Samsung Focus, and HTC's Surround. Of course, buying one of these requires a two-year contract, but previously most of these devices had cost $100, even with price cuts from earlier this week on the Quantum and Focus. Amazon's 1-cent sale ends on January 17. (Via Boy Genius Report)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Samsung announced today that it will let users of its tablet computers, smartphones and TVs access content directly from Comcast and Time Warner Cable via the internet.A bunch of Samsung&amp;'s new TVs are now web-connected, as are its newest Android-based smartphones and tablets. That means they can use internet protocols to get movies and TV shows directly from Comcast via its new Xfinity TV app on Samsung&amp;'s Smart TVs or via the new Xfinity app for the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet. Time Warner Cable has similar apps that let users access programming. Yesterday, Time Warner Cable cut the same deal with Sony. The companies made the announcement during the keynote speech of Samsung executive B.K. Yoon at the Consumer Electronics Show, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas.What this means is that the legacy geographic barriers between cable TV companies are now disappearing. If you lived in Time Warner Cable territory, you could never access shows in Comcast cable TV territory. Now you can by accessing the programming through the internet. Comcast&amp;'s XfinityTV.com has 150,000 movies and shows on the web that are now available for viewing on Samsung devices, said Brian Roberts, chief executive of Comcast, speaking at the keynote.Another interesting thing is that the connected TV allows the cable content providers to supply content directly to Samsung, rather than sending it through a cable TV box, so you could watch cable TV shows without getting a cable TV box. Yoon said the deals reflected the fact that users want to access content anytime, anywhere, in any form. In that sense, the deals reflect one of the major themes of the show: that technology can break down walls between industries, markets and users.Next Story: RIM can&amp;'t stop chat app Kik, which just reached 3M users Previous Story: Virtual currency transaction provider Tapjoy raises $21MPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: cable tv, CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics ShowCompanies: Comcast, Samsung, Time Warner CablePeople: B.K.
