New Zealand court denied bail to Kim Dotcom

The Megaupload saga continues. Kim Dotcom, Megaupload’s mega founder, was just denied bail by a New Zealand court citing he’s a flight risk. He will remain in New Zealand’s custody until February 22, when the courts will hear the US Justice Department’s application for Schmitz.

Facebook can make us Sad too [study]

London: In today's world, logging on to social networking websites may be the most popular way to know about each others' lives, but it can also make you sad, say researchers. A new study, led by sociologists Hui-Tzu Grace Chou and Nicholas Edge, at Utah Valley University has found the more hours people spend on social networking sites, like Facebook, the stronger is their belief that others are happier.

The researchers claim that the carefully chosen pictures of cheerful faces which Facebook users tend to upload on their pages actually portray a debilitating message to others. "Looking at happy pictures of others on Facebook gives people an impression that others are 'always' happy and having good lives. While Facebook users will know that their real friends have ups and downs in their lives, all they have to go on with their fake Facebook 'friends' is a smiling picture," 'Daily Mail' quoted Chou as saying.

Access cards are often used in governmental departments for both physical access as well as access to protected information.

Kind of like, if we built it, they will hack. In this case, the Chinese cyber criminals have found a way to bypass a physical card, by attacking the Windows operating system in the card reader.

FarmVille for Change: New York Times Columnist to Launch Social Game

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has been one of mainstream journalism’s most eager adopters of Internet tools. The Pulitzer Prize winner has a sterling reputation as a human rights reporter, and is a major proponent of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. In 2003, he became the Times‘ first blogger.

Now Kristof is expanding into social gaming to continue raising awareness of — and aid for — global crises.

The game will be similar to FarmVille, and will enable players to make micro-donations to humanitarian efforts worldwide as well as contribute to causes in other ways. It’s part of a larger effort by Kristof and his wife, fellow Pulitzer winner Sheryl WuDunn, to rally support to fight injustice against women around the world. It’s being developed in partnership with Games for Change, a New York-based company that creates games designed for social impact.

“Nick and Sheryl’s ideas are perfectly aligned with what we want to see moving forward — breaking the perception that games are only entertainment,” Games for Change co-president Asi Burak told Mashable. “Most of the people who pick up his book or turn on PBS or even read The New York Times are already the converted. What he’s hoping to do with social media and gaming is go to the people who aren’t converted and engage them in a very sensible way.”

Burak said that the as-yet-unnamed game will be played primarily through Facebook, but that the company is also exploring additional platforms. Players will be able to buy virtual goods in the game with real currency that will then go to NGOs and aid organizations around the world. Burak said that players will also be able to contribute to causes without paying money, for example by completing virtual missions that add them to advocacy campaigns or other efforts.

The game is tentatively planned for release in late 2012, to coincide with the PBS broadcast of Kristof and WuDunn’s two-part documentary called Half the Sky. The pair wrote a bestselling book with the same title in 2009. The premise of the book, movie and upcoming game is that addressing oppression and mistreatment of women and girls worldwide will help make life better for all humans.

Burak said that the game and larger campaign are funded by a host of major non-profits including the Ford Foundation, United Nations Foundation and USAID. But he emphasized that they are still seeking additional backing to guaranteed the game’s success.

Expertise from Kristof and WuDunn will likely go a long way toward that goal. Burak said that the couple is “very involved” in the game’s conceptual development and provides input on details “from small to large.” In one example, Burak said, Kristof and WuDunn encouraged designers to emphasize the positive aspects of people’s lives in developing countries in addition to the challenges that they face.

“Coming from them,” Burak said, “that gives us a lot of confidence to strike a tone that isn’t just a serious tone, but also an entertainment tone.”

Acer launches AcerCloud at CES 2012 ,an iCloud clone

Not content with just being a PC and tablet maker, today at CES 2012 Acer announced a cloud service for its devices. Dubbed AcerCloud, it’ll enable easy sharing of documents and photos on Acer devices, but in a limited way.



Unlike Apple’s iCloud, which is primarily designed to sync media in the background, AcerCloud is set up to enable automatic sharing of photos and documents, but only for 30 days. Those files are ultimately backed up permanently on your PC, not in the cloud.


It works like this: You take some photos with your smartphone, and AcerCloud automatically puts them in on a service called PicStream, which can then push the photos back to an Acer PC or some other device. It only works for Android phones right now, though Acer says support for Windows Phone (!) is on the way.

Similarly, saving documents to AcerCloud lets users access them from anywhere, though only for 30 days. And Acer’s clear.fi application lets users stream or download music or video files anytime from the cloud. There’s no 30-day limit on clear.fi.


Acer says users can user their phone to retrieve files from the “main PC” anytime via AcerCloud, even if the machine is in sleep mode. The service is said to use both local and cloud storage together so data is “always available.”


The service, as outlined by Acer, shares many of the same features of other cloud services like iCloud and Eye-Fi, though its 30-day expiry for storing content appears to be a serious limitation.


Are you an Acer user? Would you use AcerCloud? Let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Well, you can add the 79.99$ Smart-i Wireless Spy Camera to the arsenal now – as this is touted to be the smallest Wi-Fi camera in the world.

HTC's growth streak is over: quarterly revenue down 2.5 per cent, profits even worse

Difficult times for a company that had grown used to a gleaming record of growth. As predicted after that serious stutter in November sales, HTC's unaudited revenue for Q4 2011 shows a 2.49 percent fall on the same quarter in 2010. Unaudited operating income was just shy of 13 billion Taiwanese dollars (about $430 million), which represents a 22 percent decline on the year before. Prior to this, the company had seen nothing but upward movement after springing out of nowhere a few years ago and delivering us some rather nice handsets, but it looks like competition in the Android sphere is starting to make life harder for the Taiwanese manufacturer -- although none of its recent statements betray much in the way of self-reflection.

The Future of Nokia’s Solar-Powered Phone Isn’t so Bright [VIDEO]

Nokia set out to see if a feature phone could be sufficiently powered by solar energy alone. The findings weren’t promising. After testing its solar-powered C1-02 phone in five different locations, Nokia concluded its device was hard to keep in direct sunlight and limited talk time.


“The most substantial challenge is the limited size of a phone’s back cover, which restricts the extent to which the battery can be charged,” Nokia said in a blog post. “What’s more, to ensure mobility, it is essential that the phone’s weather protection doesn’t cover the solar charging panel.”
