<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Google)It's hard to strike the right balance in the technology business between change that's too fast or too slow--in part because different customers prefer different paces. To try to better match those preferences, Google Apps now will come in two varieties.The &quot;rapid release&quot; track will get new technology into customers' hands as soon as it's passed quality-assurance testing. The &quot;scheduled release&quot; track will issue updates once a week, with at least a week's notice to let administrators learn about the upcoming changes, Google announced today.The dual-track approach applies to Gmail, Contacts, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Sites--the main parts of the Google Apps subscription. New features will be published at Google's new site for what's new at Google Apps.Google strives to be a company that disrupts existing practices where it thinks disruption is needed. But that can clash with human nature and practical realities of running a large organization. The company's Web browser, Chrome, auto-updates itself silently in the background so new features and security fixes arrive as soon as possible. Part of the rationale for the choice Google gave is that it behaves more like Web sites, which are updated often without their users having much of a say in the matter.Chrome updates can be throttled by administrators, though, and apparently Google has concluded Web applications need something like the same more moderate pace. The weekly releases echo another event that's scheduled regularly to ease administrator burdens: Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, when security fixes for products are released on a predictable cycle.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Wayne Cunningham/CNET)Type A personalities burn bright but are not easy to be around. The 2011 Toyota Highlander is definitely a Type B, a laid-back SUV that doesn't strive for attention, just plugs along getting its job done. And that is just fine.Its 3.5-liter V-6 doesn't have direct injection, a turbo, or a supercharger, but it still moves the Highlander with satisfactory acceleration. A four-wheel-drive system doesn't promise back-country adventures, but it offers a snow mode.Cabin tech is equally good, but not great. The DVD-based navigation system looks like it's been knocking around Toyota's parts bin for a few years, but it works responsively and includes traffic information. The JBL audio system doesn't rock, but it rolls along pleasantly.Read our review of the practical and comfortable 2011 Toyota Highlander.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei is suing Motorola, claiming the American company will illegally transfer its trade secrets in the proposed sale of its wireless business unit to Nokia Siemens. Huawei filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Illinois. The company seeks to stop Motorola employees and information associated with Motorola's UMTS and GSM equipment businesses from being transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks. Motorola announced in July 2010 that it plans to sell its entire wireless infrastructure business, which includes products it sells for 3G wireless networks, in a deal that is worth about $1.2 billion.Huawei argues in its complaint that the transfer of Motorola assets to Nokia Siemens would cause &quot;the massive disclosure of Huawei's confidential information to NSN, with irreparable harm to Huawei.&quot; Specifically, the company argues that a large number of Motorola employees, who will be transferred as part of the deal to Nokia Siemens, have direct knowledge of Huawei's confidential information. Neither Motorola nor Nokia Siemens have responded to the lawsuit yet. Motorola has been reselling Huawei radio access gear for GSM and UMTS wireless networks since 2000. As part of this relationship, Motorola employees have been trained to sell and troubleshoot Huawei's wireless products. Nokia Siemens also makes and sells GSM and UMTS gear that competes directly with Huawei's equipment.&quot;The entire intent of filing the injunction is to prevent our intellectual property from being handed over to one of our competitors on a silver platter,&quot; said Bill Plummer, a vice president of external affairs for Huawei. Plummer said that Huawei has tried to negotiate with Motorola since the deal was announced, but so far Motorola has not provided assurances to Huawei that its intellectual property will be protected once the deal is complete.This is the first time that Chinese-based Huawei has initiated legal proceedings against a U.S. company. However, Huawei has been the target of lawsuits by others. Several years ago, Cisco Systems sued the company for infringing on its patents for IP network equipment. The suit was eventually settled. In June, Motorola sued Huawei for supposedly stealing its trade secrets as part of a corporate espionage case. The legal action follows a suit from 2008 in which Motorola sued five former employees for sharing information with IP networking firm Lemko, headquartered in Schaumberg, Ill., where Motorola is also located. Lemko has a reseller agreement with Huawei.Congressional leaders have also tried to block the sale of Huawei's telecommunications products to U.S. wireless operators over security concerns. But Huawei representatives say the company respects intellectual property and is simply defending its own trade secrets with this lawsuit.&quot;As a global technology leader with a rich IP and patent portfolio, Huawei respects the rights of intellectual property holders and is equally committed to the protection of its own innovations and intellectual property,&quot; the company said in an e-mail statement. Nearly half of Huawei's 100,000 plus employees are engaged in research and development and Huawei allocates an average of 10 percent of all revenues to research and development annually. By the end of 2010, Huawei had applied for 49,040 essential patents on a global basis.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Given how many variables are involved, predicting the future of energy with accuracy is difficult. But BP's annual Energy Outlook, which came out today, is a closely watched indicator for the state of the energy industry.The BP Energy Outlook 2030 (click for PDF) forecasts energy sources will diversify more in the future, with a bigger role for renewable, nuclear, and hydropower. Demand will continue to grow around the world, with developing countries consuming a larger share of energy.(Credit:BP)Energy growth was mostly met with increased use of fossil fuels over the last 20 years. In the next 20 years, BP expects that solar, wind, geothermal, and biofuels will contribute a higher percentage--an 18 percent contribution to energy growth from 2010 to 2030, compared to 5 percent of energy growth from 1990 to 2010.BP also forecast what portion renewables will play in primary energy--that is, energy sources before they are converted to a usable form such as electricity or liquid fuels. It predicts that renewable energy will go from less than 2 percent of primary energy use now to more than 6 percent in 2030. One of the assumptions in BP's projections is that energy efficiency will improve significantly, particularly in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, and that governments around the world will adopt regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But BP Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley said that BP, which advocates a way to put a price on carbon, is not optimistic about policy movement. &quot;Our base case assumes that countries continue to make some progress on addressing climate change, based on the current and expected level of political commitment. But overall, for me personally, it is a wake-up call,&quot; he said in a statement.The BP projection assumes continued economic growing, leading to primary energy growing by 1.7 percent per year, or nearly 40 percent over the next 20 years, with much of that growth coming from non-OECD countries. Among fossil fuels, BP expects that natural gas use will grow faster than coal and oil, which it says reached peak demand in 2005 in OECD countries. Higher efficiency in transportation will contribute to slow growth of oil use, while BP expects that biofuels will represent 6 percent of liquid fuels in 2030.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
