<description><![CDATA[HTC Inspire 4G(Credit:Sarah Tew/CNET)HTC Inspire 4G and Motorola Atrix 4G owners, your slow-upload woes are almost over. AT&amp;T just sent CNET a note letting us know that it has started rolling out an update for the Inspire 4G that will enable the HSUPA radio on the smartphone, along with a number of other bug fixes and performance improvements. The carrier has completed testing on the update for the Atrix 4G as well and will begin deploying the software soon. The updates will roll out in batches over the coming weeks, and users will receive a message on their phones when it's available. You need a Wi-Fi connection to download and install the software, but afterward you should see faster upload speeds. In mid-March, after numerous complaints from customers, AT&amp;T finally admitted that the HSUPA radios, which enable faster upload speeds (up to 5.76Mbps) on mobile phones, were not actually enabled on the Inspire 4G and Atrix 4G. The carrier did, however, keep its promise to deliver an update by April, and though the company waited till the very last minute, we're glad to see it.Let us know how the update goes for you and if you're seeing improved speeds. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Lucasfilm)If you believe in tech fortune-telling, you'll soon be able to reach out and (sort of) touch someone. By 2015, mobile phones will be projecting 3D images of callers and batteries will run on air alone, according to prognosticators at IBM. Big Blue's list of tech predictions for the next five years includes kinetically powered laptops and computers that predict traffic jams in real time, Bloomberg reports. Batteries of 2015 could last 10 times longer than those of today, and could be based on &quot;energy-dense metals that only need to interact with the air to recharge,&quot; it said. Homes of the near future, meanwhile, could be warmed by heat produced by data centers. The report did not go into detail about the predictions. IBM polls its 3,000 researchers at sites like the Almaden Research Center for hot new ideas in the offing. Previous innovation predictions have included statements such as, &quot;In the next five years, you will be able to surf the Internet, hands-free, by using your voice.&quot; Well, that was two years ago and I'm still typing and clicking. Four years ago, IBM predicted that cell phones will be reading our minds by 2012' I can't even get a decent photo out of mine. Nonetheless, I'll be the first to rent a Darth Vader costume if the holographic phone prediction comes true. Because I predict that in five years, we'll all be traveling in AT-AT Walkers. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.(Credit:Stephen Shankland/CNET News)Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak thinks that theiPhone is tops in overall quality but also that when all's said and done, Google's Android platform will reign supreme in the mobile market.&quot;The Apple phone has very few weaknesses,&quot; Wozniak was reported as saying to Netherlands newspaper De Telegraaf in an interview (translation) posted today. &quot;When it comes to quality, the iPhone is leading.&quot;The newspaper also quotes Wozniak as saying, however, that &quot;Android phones have more features&quot; and deliver more buying options for those who don't want to be limited to a single device. But in a follow-up interview with Engadget, Wozniak countered that he didn't say anything of the sort. Instead, Wozniak told Engadget, he pointed out a single feature--the ability to say &quot;navigate to Joe's Diner or something&quot; on Android--that he &quot;would love to have on my iPhone.&quot; He went on to say that &quot;almost every app&quot; he uses &quot;is better on the iPhone.&quot;In addition, Wozniak was quoted by the newspaper as saying that like Windows in the desktop OS space, Google's mobile platform will become the &quot;dominant&quot; option in its own market. Wozniak told Engadget that the Telegraaf reporter asked him if Android would eventually be dominant and that what he said was &quot;Android because that's based on what I read--nothing more.&quot; &quot;I said that Android will probably be a lot like Windows, and we got a lot of junk from Windows. At least the iPhone is good,&quot; Wozniak said to the gadget blog. &quot;I'm certainly not saying that Android is better than iOS by any stretch of the imagination.&quot; Predictably, Wozniak's comments as reported by De Telegraaf caused a ruckus, given that he's a co-founder of Apple and still a shareholder in the company. But he wasn't really covering any new ground with the remarks about Android's prospects. Many analysts believe Android will eventually overtake the mobile market and leave Apple far behind.By 2014, market-research firm Gartner expects Android to own about 30 percent of the worldwide mobile OS market, while Apple will account for just 15 percent. Another research firm, IDC, expects Android to have about 25 percent of the smartphone market globally in 2014, compared with Apple's expected 11 percent share.Beyond all that, De Telegraaf cited Wozniak as saying that Apple had developed a smartphone in 2004, but (obviously) never released it given that it &quot;was satisfied with the quality, but wanted something that could surprise the world.&quot;&quot;If Apple comes [out] with a new product, it must have a real breakthrough,&quot; Wozniak reportedly said. It seems that Apple felt that &quot;breakthrough&quot; came in 2007 when it released the first-generation iPhone.(Via Engadget)Update at 11:25 a.m. PT:Steve Wozniak was interviewed by Engadget after this report was published to clarify some statements made to De Telegraaf. Those clarifications have been added throughout.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Web 2.0 Summit drew the who&amp;'s who of the digerati to San Francisco this week. Chief among them were conference organizers Tim O&amp;'Reilly (left) and John Battelle (right). O&amp;'Reilly opened the conference talking about the theme of &amp;''points of control,&amp;'' or key pieces of technology that companies can use to dominate their markets. O&amp;'Reilly started out with a plea that companies not engage in destructive competition. Rather, he suggested they find the Blue Ocean of untapped markets and new users. The photo gallery below shows many of the speakers and a brief summary of what they talked about. Enjoy. And for a fun comparison, check out last year&amp;'s photo gallery.Eric Schmidt, chief executive of Google, opened the conference and showed off a new Android phone, widely believed to be the Google Nexus S, which will have near-field communication built into it. If you wave such a phone over a reader, you can use the phone to make a payment. Such phones are common in Japan, but the infrastructure has to be built still in the U.S., at both merchants and in cell phones. Schmidt said the Gingerbread version of Android will support near-field communication and debut in a few weeks.Mark Pincus, chief executive of Zynga, has seen his social game company skyrocket in three years to an estimated $5 billion market cap, $500 million in 2010 revenues, and 1,300 employees. In the future, he believes that we&amp;'ll be able to get brands on tap. For instance, Zynga&amp;'s dog logo will be an icon that you can tap on with any device. That icon will take you directly to your favorite Zynga apps.Robin Li, chairman and CEO of Baidu, suggested that Google wasn&amp;'t patient enough to succeed in the Chinese market, where heavy regulation makes it difficult for outside companies to succeed. Li said his company has 99 percent of China&amp;'s 400-million-plus internet users as its customers.Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo, had to walk interviewer Battelle through yet another explanation of what Yahoo is, this time without expletives.Bing Gordon (right), partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp;amp' Byers, interviewed two of the leaders of the video game industry, both of whom are sitting pretty. Bobby Kotick, (center) CEO of Activision Blizzard, is a big winner this season because the company&amp;'s Call of Duty Black Ops game sold more than $650 million in its first five days &amp;8212' breaking all records. Don Mattrick, (left) head of Microsoft&amp;'s game business, is also happy because the company sold more than 1 million Kinect motion-sensing systems in its first 10 days.Tony Shieh, CEO of Amazon&amp;'s Zappos, says that the marriage of Zappos and Amazon, now a year old, has gone very well. His company now has more resources for expansion. It has 2,500 employees now and is adding 2,000 more. Shieh wrote a book on happiness and gave away copies of it at his Delivering Happiness bus, which is touring the country.Susan Lyne, chairman of shopping site Gilt Groupe, says that everyone comes to shop at her company&amp;'s site during their lunch hour, putting lots of pressure on the company to get its web service right. (She bought her blouse from an Italian designer on Gilt).Research in Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie gleefully disagreed with Apple&amp;'s view that apps will triumph over the web in mobile phones. &amp;''We completely disagree with that world view,&amp;'' he said.Vinod Khosla, founder of the Khosla Ventures venture capital firm slammed pundits, the press and prognosticators for being so bad at making predictions. He quoted Karl Marx, who said, &amp;''When the train of history hits a curve, the intellectuals fall off. In 1986, he said, McKinsey predicted there would be 1 million cell phones in 2000. It was off 10,000 percent, since there were 110 million phones by that time. But based on McKinsey&amp;'s forecast, AT&amp;amp'T got rid of its own cell phone business.John Doerr, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caulfield &amp;amp' Byers, is the &amp;''Michael Jordan of venture capital,&amp;'' according to his fellow panelist Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures. Doerr said that he believes yet another social boom is underway and that is why Kleiner Perkins co-created a new $250 million sFund for new investments in social. He said the model for the investments is Zynga, which is in Kleiner Perkins&amp;' portfolio. Zynga&amp;'s value is $5 billion, and it is the most profitable company, fastest growing, and has the happiest users of any Kleiner Perkins company, Doerr said. He also said his firm was wrong to turn down Twitter.Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures worries that big companies are just copycats and are squelching innovation by startups. He is also concerned that we&amp;'ll soon see the air let out of the latest tech investment bubble. Wilson was lucky enough (so far) to be one of Twitter&amp;'s investors.The cherubic face of Mark Zuckerberg was in the spotlight. But Zuckerberg didn&amp;'t buckle. He defended the company&amp;'s aggressive moves to add new features to Facebook and credited social games for helping Facebook take off. He said Facebook isn&amp;'t likely to invest in content, as companies such as Zynga do it better.David Guggenheim (left), director of the education documentary Waiting for Superman, talked about reforming education with journalist John Heilemann (right). Guggenheim said he believes that there is great optimism about remaking schools in the reform community. The problem is that the reform community is still small, Guggenheim said, and the point of the movie is to bring more reformers to the cause.Adam Sadowsky gave a talk on lessons for innovators that came from the construction of a huge Rube Goldberg machine. Sadowsky&amp;'s company Synn Labs made the machine a music video for the song This Too Shall Pass by OK Go. Among his advice: details matter.Katherine Savitt, CEO of youth-oriented social network Lockerz, said that Generation Z, the children of the Baby Boomers, is becoming a huge and distinct generation of tech users. These kids are curators of their own content. They sift through the tons of stuff on the internet, latch on to what they like, and then promote the heck out of it.Yuri Milner, CEO of Russian investment firm DST, says his company specializes in late-stage investments that allow hot companies such as Facebook, Groupon and Zynga to raise lots of private equity capital and postpone their initial public offerings. To avoid conflicts of interest, Milner doesn&amp;'t take board seats.Toni Schneider, CEO of Automattic, the creator of the WordPress blogging tool, spoke about how users will take control of technology and use it for their own interests. The five-year-old company has a mission of democratizing online publishing. There are over 30 million WordPress sites now. They attract an audience of 250 million people for WordPress.com sites alone.Julius Genachowski, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said that he believes the U.S. can be the leader in mobile broadband by setting aside more spectrum for new mobile services. He said that 65 percent of the country has access to broadband now, and that is low compared to countries such as Japan. He was not so happy that Google and Verizon teamed up on a net neutrality proposal that he didn&amp;'t really agree with.Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, is confident that his business-focused social network can withstand any invasion from Facebook. He cited the &amp;''keg stands&amp;'' problem that Facebook has, where users frequently post inappropriate pictures that potential employees might see. (A keg stand is when you hold someone by their feet and get them to drink out of the hose for a keg).Frank Quattrone (left), the former financier of Silicon Valley who is now back in business as a merger advisor, talked with Bill Gurley (right), partner at Benchmark Capital, about finance trends. Quattrone said he expects to see more mergers and acquisitions among tech companies because every big company is going vertical. Apple, for instance, makes services, operating systems, software and hardware. Other companies want to own their own supply chain as well so they can control their own destinies more easily. That means that when a company is for sale, there can now be many more potential buyers since the companies don&amp;'t mind crossing industry categories anymore.The titans of cloud computing talked with Tim O&amp;'Reilly, (right) about the impact that virtualization would have on technology. The panel included Paul Maritz, CEO of VMWare (second from right) and Andy Jassy, senior vice president at Amazon (second from left). They made fun of Oracle chairman Larry Ellison for thinking of the cloud as a product, not a service. Mark Benioff (far left) used the stage to tout his upcoming cloud conference. &amp;''Ever the salesman,&amp;'' O&amp;'Reilly said.Krissy Clark (the small orange spot in this picture) is an award-winning journalist and documentary maker who believes that location-aware technologies may be key for getting stories about places told. She wants to create an augmented reality solution where people can go to a place, view it through their cell phone cameras, and then listen to a story about what makes that place unique.Former News Corp. executive Peter Chernin (left), Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, and journalist John Heilemann talked about the acceleration of movie streaming to all sorts of digital platforms. Hastings said that users weren&amp;'t that enthusiastic about watching full-length movies on small screens, but Chernin believes users in emerging countries will love such content. But Hastings said that new digital platforms such as game consoles are generating great results for movie streaming.Susan Wojcicki is the vice president in charge of innovations in Google&amp;'s advertising and measurement products. She went through five whirlwind demos that show the new ways Google is making advertising more relevant and effective. At some point, Google wants to get to &amp;''the perfect ad.&amp;''Ev Williams, co-founder of Twitter, was happy to talk about Twitter&amp;'s successful advertising business model and the many revenue options before the company, now that it has a critical mass of more than 100 million users for its micro-blogging service. He admitted that the CEO position is &amp;''kind of a sucky job.&amp;'' He said Twitter is still exploring new business models.Next Story: Google&amp;'s TV Ads heads to Verizon FiOS TV Previous Story: Deal of the day LivingSocial could be raising $100M from Amazon.comPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Web 2.0 Summit          Tags: Web 2.0 SummitDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[The past has come back to haunt Dell. Documents unsealed yesterday regarding a three-year-old lawsuit against the company have revealed that Dell knowingly downplayed hardware defects for millions of computers it sold between 2003 and 2005, the New York Times reports.The lawsuit, originally filed by Advanced Internet Technologies, accused Dell of hiding the extent of its computer&amp;'s hardware issues from customers. Dell settled the suit in September without disclosing terms.To get a sense of the issue&amp;'s scale: The documents reveal 20.2 percent of a 2,000 computer batch purchased by the City of New York had incident reports on file. Of 2,800 computers purchased by Microsoft, 11 percent showed issues.Dell apparently ranked its affected customers by importance, the documents showed, giving those who would move to another computer maker because of the issue the highest priority. Instead of recalling the computers, Dell performed &amp;''proactive field replacements&amp;'' &amp;8212' which likely involved having technicians replace affected motherboards before they exhibited problems.Dell&amp;'s hardware issues stemmed from the capacitors &amp;8212' small components that control power flow &amp;8212' on the motherboards of its desktop computers. The faulty capacitors (dubbed the &amp;''capacitor plague&amp;'' on Wikipedia) have an intriguing story of their own &amp;8212' they were the result of a stolen formula by a Japanese scientist. The formula eventually found its way to a Taiwanese capacitor manufacturer, but not before going through some changes along the way that caused the capacitors to bulge and leak chemical fluid. Before the technology industry realized it, the faulty capacitors had found their way into computers, TVs and other electronics.Other computer manufactures like Apple and HP were also affected by the faulty capacitors, but Dell has by far faced the most issues because of them. The company shipped 11.8 million affected computers between 2003 and 2005, according to a study by Dell and a third-party. The company announced in 2005 that it took a $300 million charge tied to fixing or replacing the affected computers.A 2004 Dell study revealed by the court documents showed that the company had vastly underestimated how bad the situation would get. In June 2004 the company expected 12 percent of its SX270 and GX270 Optiplex computers would have trouble over their first three years &amp;8212' but by September, it raised that number to 45 percent and said it could very well go as high as 97 percent.The study also showed that Dell planned to help customers who bought 50 machines and had at least 5 percent of those fail. Other customers were classified as &amp;''fix on fail&amp;'', which meant they couldn&amp;'t get help until their computer broke down. The company said it replaced motherboards for 22 percent of the 21 million computers it shipped during 2003 to 2005.Dell also instructed its salespeople and technicians not to let customers know about the issues. Internal presentations (PDF link) contained phrases like a4ADona4a4t bring this to customera4a4s attention proactivelya4 and a4Aemphasize uncertaintya4 as directives Dell&amp;'s employees should follow.I&amp;'m not at all surprised by the reports of Dell&amp;'s tactics, as I&amp;'ve seen many of them first-hand. I was working in desktop support during the height of this capacitor fiasco, and the issues carried on for years afterwards. We ended up stockpiling loads of Dell GX270 replacement motherboards and would replace them on-site when systems failed. But even some replacement motherboards had faulty capacitors, which made the whole ordeal a crazy Sisyphean support nightmare.Dell doesn&amp;'t seem too phased by the whole ordeal, however. In its third-quarter filings today, the company announced its desktop PC sales are up 21 percent from a year ago and accounted for 24 percent of its overall revenue.Photos via Maximiliano Kolus and 406 CoupeNext Story: Seattle companies: Join us November 30 for a pitch at Madrona, and then cocktails Previous Story: A tour inside Silicon Valley&amp;'s newest (freezing cold) secret data centerPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: bulging caps, capacitors, computers, desktops, lawsuitsCompanies: Advanced Internet Technologies, Dell          Tags: bulging caps, capacitors, computers, desktops, lawsuitsCompanies: Advanced Internet Technologies, DellDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[New career networkresu.me launched today, saying it aims to be the &amp;''LinkedIn killer&amp;'' for Generation Z users looking to find their dream job faster and easier, founder Karthik Manimaran told VentureBeat exclusively.Resu.me uses machine learning to match candidates and jobs the way a human recruiter might: By Googling a person to try to find out what they read, what they write about, what they seem to be passionate about &amp;8212' as well as who they interact with, what they say, their open source contributions, who&amp;'s in their network and so on.The company said it will appeal to younger users by keeping its key focus on providing all the tools and incentives required to learn daily, build a portfolio and showcase better.That will in turn help them connect with a meaningful network and ultimately land a job.Resu.me uses semantic web technology to analyze and understand the relevance behind what users post online on their resumes, as well as from all other online activities such as code they share, blog posts they like, articles they read, what and where they comment and so on.The site also learns from the feedback users provide in the form of &amp;''likes,&amp;'' comments and ratings on other users, companies, job postings, or other social media.The platform is directly linked to the web-based applicant tracking system of companies. As such, Karthik said users won&amp;'t have to mess around anymore with filling out redundant forms and waiting. It&amp;'s a &amp;''1-click application&amp;'', always fresh resume with a transparent scheme to track the application&amp;'s progress.On the flip side, companies can also provide feedback and ratings on resumes and the matching algorithm adapts to it. It also offers an RSS feed reader, which tracks all that a user reads and shares online, and a tool to showcase user artifacts using Cooliris 3D wall.The site then offers all the tools necessary to manage all these activities from one single place.The two-year-old company currently has four employees and is entirely self-funded.It aims to take on four separate categories of competitors: Professional networks like LinkedIn and Xing' job search engines such as Indeed and SimplyHired' job boards like Monster, Careerbuilder or Dice' and applicant tracking systems Taleo and Bernard Hodes.But in such a crowded space, how will resu.me compete with such well-established groups and tempt the famously fickle Gen Z users into giving it a tryManimaran said primarily because it is a simple, one-stop platform for managing your resume in real-time and with a host of tools that make it more flexible and intuitive than its competitors.&amp;''We came across practical difficulties hiring talent for our groups and also finding a job for ourselves,&amp;'' Manimaran told me. &amp;''We wanted a tool that could help us manage our online professional profile in a much more elegant fashion that would help companies find us faster.&amp;''Next Story: As social games cause disruption, Disney lays off hundreds of game studio employees Previous Story: You know whata4a4s cool 8 Oscar nominations for The Social NetworkPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: job search, launch, Social Media, Social networksCompanies: bernard hodes, CareerBuilder, cooliris 3D, dice, Google, Indeed, linkedin, Monster, resu.me, SimplyHired, Taleo, xingPeople: karthik manimaran          Tags: job search, launch, Social Media, Social networksCompanies: bernard hodes, CareerBuilder, cooliris 3D, dice, Google, Indeed, linkedin, Monster, resu.me, SimplyHired, Taleo, xingPeople: karthik manimaranRiley McDermid is a contributing reporter to VentureBeat.
