THE iPhone HAS BEEN TRADED

THE iPhone HAS BEEN TRADED
Terry Daidone, the founder of Certicell contacted me this morning, and offered to make a trade for the iPhone. I traded it for a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones.

Here are more details

Panasonic "Pixi" cellphone picture dock is designed for social networking, idiots

We're not certain it needs to get any easier to post compromising photos to social networking sites, but apparently Panasonic's R&D labs think it's a problem in need of a giant, garish solution: say hello to the Pixi, a concept cellphone dock / cameraphone companion designed to send photos directly from your mobile to mixi, a Japanese MySpace clone. Sliding your phone into the Pixi automatically brings up your photos, and then configuring your phone and sending those latest bleary-eyed bar pics to the web is as simple as smacking one of the six touch-sensitive icons on the unit. Of course, you won't be doing this on the sly -- the unit's bright red shell with carnival-style LED chaser lights might tip off your companions, but if you can't figure out how to email photos to a website from a modern phone, you probably deserve the scorn. Check a video of the concept Pixi in action after the jump.

How the FBI spies on suspects

Details of a nifty piece of kit used by the FBI to spy on the internet activities of suspected criminals have emerged during a court case in the US.

CIPAV, which stands for Computer and Intenet Protocol Address Verifier, allows agents to track what connections a suspect's computer has made with other machines, for instance by e-mail or browsing the internet.

Al-Qaeda's pixels popped?

Al-Qaeda's pixels popped?

There's nothing like a tiff between image processing experts to put a few extra pixels in your Monday.

Last week Wired.com ran a story in which a computer scientist claimed he could establish whether al-Qaeda had altered a video prior to posting it on the internet.

Neal Krawetz said he had written a program which would enable investigators to establish whether a background had been added to disguise the true location in which an al-Qaeda video was recorded, and, if the image had been altered, which editing software was used. (Of limited significance, perhaps, but interesting nonetheless.)

A video by a prominent al-Qaeda spokesman posted last year, had, for instance, had a desk, computer and some books added after the original recording, Mr Krawetz said.

A computer security expert at Cambridge University last week took issue with Mr Krawetz's claims, however, claiming that his analysis was flawed.

The environmental cost of chat sessions and the paperless office

The rise of the paperless office, online banking, VOIP calls and e-commerce is not as green as you might think. The demand for electronic services is creating a boom in the construction of data centres to store and process these digital details on countless computer servers, and the need to keep these server farms cool and always-on is having a noticeable effect on the power grid.

According to a recent report by America's Environmental Protection Agency, America's data centres require more power than all the television sets in the 50 states, combined. Put another way, the energy consumed is equivalent to 5.8 million homes – that's a lot of Amazon orders and Skype chat sessions. Put in monetary terms, it's $4.5 billion (£2.2 billion) worth of electricity consumption per annum, says Greenbang.com.

Microsoft pipped in Beijing Olympic race?

Some confusion this week about whether the organisers of the Beijing Olympics had taken a swipe at Microsoft, or not.

Reports surfaced in the past couple of days that Lenovo, an official supplier to the Beijing Olympics, was to ship the majority of its computers to the games with XP, rather than Vista, installed.

This - the chairman of Lenovo, Yang Yuanqing, suggested, in remarks that were taken slightly out of context - was because the Olympics needed stable technologies and "if it's not stable, it could have some problems."

Implication: Vista was unstable.

Cue a series of rather unflattering (for Microsoft) headlines, including 'Unstable Vista Dumped for Olympics', 'Windows Vista Snubbed by Olympics organisers', 'Vista loses Olympics race', and, perhaps the most inspired, '2008 Olympics to run on XP'.

Germans aim to build laptop powered by body heat

Face it, batteries just aren't very reliable, I type with gritted teeth as I spy the rapidly dwindling battery power indicator on my MacBook. And, as we learned recently, lithium-ion batteries have a tendency to overheat, triggering expensive recalls from Nokia and Sony in the past year. Perhaps the researchers at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute, the same group that brought us the MP3 audio format, have found a solution: a new method of drawing electrical current from our body heat that could some day power laptops, mobile phones and gadgets.

Razr2: Motorola's hope in a handset

The follow up to Motorola's legendary Razr has shaved 2mm off the width of its predecessor, but still lacks a 'killer app'

Motorola Razr2

To say Motorola has a fair bit pegged to the success of the Razr2 is a little like saying that our planet has a fair bit pegged to the sun continuing to combust.

Edward Zander, Motorola's chief executive, has himself acknowledged that the company didn't deliver many "really new 'wow'" products in the first half of the year, so it will be hoped – rather fervently – along the Motorola corridors, and those of its investors, that in the third and fourth quarters the handset maker can recover some ground.

There is a fair bit of ground to make up. Last month, the company posted a deficit of $28 million (£14.2 million), its second straight quarterly loss. Overall revenues for the second quarter of this year were down 19 per cent, from $10.8 billion to $8.7 billion (£5.5 billion to £4.4 billion), compared with the same quarter last year, while handset sales dropped by 40 per cent over the same period.

Motorola's hopes are in fact pinned to two devices. First came the Z8, a 'movie phone' which came pre-loaded with The Bourne Identity, and which was released a couple of months ago.
