Show Current Music Track on Gtalk in WMP 12, Windows 7

Google Talk or gTalk chat application has a feature to show currently playing Music track on Windows Media player as you Status. On Windows Xp, it runs without problem but even since I upgraded to Windows 7, GTalk doesn’t update status on change of Music track on Windows Media Player 12.

HP drops TouchPad price to $99, suddenly everybody wants one

If you were wondering what would happen to all those TouchPads sitting in warehouses after HP decided to abandon webOS, you now have the answer. HP just announced a mouth-watering discount on the ill-fated tablet, with the base 16GB model now costing a mere $99 and the 32GB for $150.

Of course this means that now everybody wants one. Most places that were accepting bookings for the device are now flashing the ‘Out of Stock’ sign and you would have to be lucky to get one. That’s just for the online stores though. Starting August 20, you can get the TouchPad at the new price in brick and mortar stores, but again, only if you get there in time cause I believe there will be quite a demand for these at those prices. But if you do get one it would be quite a steal. The TouchPad may not have done so well but it still is a decent tablet and for that price is terrific value.
Makes you wonder if HP had just sold the TouchPad at launch at a lower price, they wouldn’t be in this situation today. I’m not necessarily talking about selling it for $99 but even if they had sold it for something like $299 from the start the TouchPad would have had a lot more users today. Sure, they would have incurred some losses but it would have been a fair price to pay for decent user base and developer support. I hope the Android tablet manufacturers learn something from this.

Firefox 6 for Android released, brings with new look and more powerful dev tools

Mozilla has released the next iteration of their Firefox browser for Android. Version 6 comes with a slightly refreshed interface, including a new welcome screen and a slight facelift to the menu.

Yet the main changes that Firefox 6 brings are under the hood with faster zooming, crisper text and reduced pixelation promised to be the results of the new enhanced image rendering algorithms. 

Finally, but certainly not least importantly, Firefox 6 adds support for dev tools that, according to Mozilla should “help create rich, compelling mobile Web apps and websites”. The single touch events API, which permits better handling of hand gestures and IndexedDB API, which allows for web apps and websites to be made available offline, were explicitly mentioned. Those should certainly allow better plug-ins to be created.
You can get your updated Firefox browser with a simple visit to the Android Market from either your phone or your desktop browser.

Apple wants to ban every Galaxy and Tablet! Aug18

In its case against Samsung Electronics in the Netherlands, Apple is demanding an extensive ban on all Galaxy series smartphones and tablets, including a complete recall of stock by European distributors and resellers.
Apple’s complaint against Samsung in The Hague district court is much more comprehensive than previously thought. It’s not only broader in its legal scope than a separate, ongoing Apple complaint against Samsung in Germany, but an injunction could have a “huge impact” on the entire European market for smartphones and tablets, according to Alastair Edwards, principal analyst at Canalys.
Apple’s complaint, seen by Webwereld, a Dutch IDG publication, seeks an injunction for the entire Galaxy series. This includes the smartphones Galaxy Ace; Galaxy S and Galaxy SII; and tablets Galaxy Tab 7 and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Other Galaxy devices, like the Gio, Nexus, 551, Europa, Apollo and Mini are also involved, albeit only in a footnote in which Apple states, “It is expected that these devices are also covered by one or more of the patent rights invoked.”
Apple demands an extensive ban on these devices, covering manufacturing, stocking, importing, distributing, trading or selling by Samsung Korea and its Dutch subsidiaries, which include Samsung Logistics BV and Samsung Overseas BV. These companies play a crucial role in the distribution of Samsung products throughout Europe. According to Apple’s complaint, “Samsung Logistics is responsible for 28 distribution channels throughout Europe.”
Apple demands that Samsung and its subsidiaries send a “letter of request” to all their European clients to recall all infringing products from stock “within 14 days” and offer compensation of the purchase price as well as transport costs.
Apple demands that Samsung’s letter should include a statement saying that if clients don’t comply, that they themselves violate Apple’s intellectual property rights.
“For the record we would like to mention the fact that by storing, offering and/or selling of the above mentioned Galaxy smartphones [and tablets], you commit infringement of the intellectual property rights of Apple Inc.,” according to suggested wording in the complaint.
“If this injunction is granted it could have “significant implications” for the European market for smartphones and tablet, said Canalys’ Edwards. “This is a very big threat to Samsung, because basically their whole European supply chain will be broken,” Edwards added.
Edwards reckons than a possible injunction could have an enormous impact on the market. “This could mean it’s almost game over for Samsung in Europe,” Edwards said, noting that Samsung in the last year has rapidly overtaken Apple in shipments in the smartphone market in Europe, Middle East and Africa, currently closing in on market leader Nokia. Apple still reigns in the tablet market, with 69 percent of all shipments last quarter, while Samsung had 7 percent.
A number of European distributors and resellers could also be hit, as channels would have to be drained by Samsung, Edwards said. The Korean company would have to compensate these companies for the purchase price and returning costs of all infringing stock. But as there would be no trading in the products, profit could drop.
“Distributors and resellers now have to think hard whether to keep Galaxy products in stock,” Edwards said.
The court in The Hague will rule on Sept. 15. At the hearing last week, Judge Edger Brinkman stated that if he grants any injunctions, they would take effect no sooner than Oct. 13.
Both Apple and Samsung declined to comment, citing ongoing litigation.
On Tuesday, in a separate case brought by Apple focusing on the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Dusseldorf District Court changed its preliminary injunction enacted last week that prohibited Samsung from selling the device in all European Union countries except for The Netherlands. The Dusseldorf court, citing uncertainties about jurisdiction, changed its ban to allow Samsung to sell the product in all E.U. countries except for Germany.

Google’s Photovine becomes publicly available, let the sharing begin Aug18

Unlike some other Google projects, which seem to spend an eternity in the beta stages of their development, it only took Photovine a little over a month to graduate. The ambitious photo-sharing service is now accessible for everyone.

And by everyone, I mean only those who have an iOS device, as Photovine is currently only available as an app in the App Store. At least it covers the lot with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad units running iOS 4.2 or later being supported.

So if you feel like becoming a part of a social network that revolves around photo sharing, now is your chance. Just head to the App Store to download the app and start growing those vines.
