Editor's Pick: Microsoft Turns Its Back on Kin

Microsoft Turns Its Back on Kin

Richard Adhikari 07/01/10 11:53 AM PT
	Microsoft has not only nixed its plans to launch its line of Kin phones in Europe -- it's also rolling its Kin team into its Windows Phone 7 team. It will continue selling "current" Kin phones in the States through Verizon, but with Redmond's Kin group officially kaput, it's unlikely that any new models are on the horizon. [See Full Story]

============================================================
NEWSNIGHT - Thursday 1 July 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two
============================================================

------------------------------------------------------------
Presented by Gavin Esler
------------------------------------------------------------

How safe are European banks? Over the last two days, they've borrowed
243 billion euros from the European Central Bank. That's less than some
expected but a couple of hundred banks are still on life support.

Our Economics Editor Paul Mason is in Frankfurt to assess how healthy
the European banking system is and what the consequences are for the
future of the euro and the world economy.

Our Science editor Susan Watts is taking a look at the independent
review into the UK's strategic response to last year's swine flu
pandemic. The review's author, Dame Deirdre Hine, has outlined 28
recommendations that aim to enhance the proportionality of a future
response, strengthen the development and handling of scientific advice,
and improve how the government communicates with the public.

We'll be joined live by the Health Secretary at the time of the
pandemic, Andy Burnham.

The Foreign Secretary, William Hague says the government wants to
increase the country's influence in the European Union and strengthen
ties with developing countries like Brazil, India and China. He said the
UK must extend its "global reach and influence" or face decline in a
fast-changing world.

Our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban will be considering how we re-assert
ourselves as a foreign power and we'll discuss Britain's role in the
world with the former Foreign Office Minister, Mark Malloch Brown and
the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Kamalesh Sharma.

And on the day that the government set up a new website asking the
public to suggest laws and regulations they would like to see abolished
we'll be talking to some early contributors to the debate and ask
whether such efforts at public engagement achieve anything.

Do join Gavin at 10.30pm.

Today's Story Highlights

Bilski Brouhaha: Supreme Court Keeps Stevens at Bay
The Bilski v. Kappos Supreme Court case was the latest skirmish in the
ongoing war over the scope of patents. On the one side are purists who
want the patent statute open to new technologies, and on the other are
those who wish to see the patent laws more curtailed -- and particularly
that the patentability door be closed on certain technologies.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/70327.html

What Makes a Successful Entrepreneur?
Have you ever considered whether you have what it takes to be an
entrepreneur? You might think that there aren't many objective ways by
which you can assess your entrepreneurial ability. Actually, there are.
One of the quickest ways by which you can get some idea of your innate
talents for entrepreneurship is to do a Google search with the key words
"personality types."
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/70328.html

Taking the Technology Out of the Changing Customer Equation
The facts about today's customers are well established: They know more
about your business than ever before, they're talking to their peers and
to the wider public about you, they want to be communicated with through
the channels of their choosing, and they desire to have a more partner-
like relationship with your company. So, what are you going to do about
it?
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/70330.html

Big Red Rumor: Verizon to Land iPhone in January
Rumors about Verizon Wireless getting the iPhone resurfaced yet again
Tuesday following a Bloomberg report claiming the carrier is set to
become Apple's second U.S. wireless provider in January. The report
quoted unnamed sources. If the rumor is true this time, AT&T could be in
for a beating and Apple could see even higher iPhone sales figures.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/70324.html

The New Hacker Hobby That Will Change the World
Personal computing altered the world forever, and now the digitization
of biology is poised to bring about sweeping change. Craig Venter's
recent announcement of the first synthetic genome was a huge milestone,
but many outside of Silicon Valley remain unaware of the "do-it-yourself
biology" movement.

Why Bother With Cloud Computing? (41:35 minutes)
As IT sea-changes go, the phenomenon of cloud computing is still in its
relatively early days. As such, it's still very difficult to discern the
exact returns a business can expect to get out of a cloud-related
investment or experiment. It's time to dig deeper into the top reasons
and paybacks for adopting cloud computing solutions sooner rather than
later.

YouTube Says HTML5 Not Ready for Prime Time
Despite predictions to the contrary, Adobe Flash won't be supplanted any
time soon as a major video distribution vehicle on the World Wide Web,
according to a software engineer at the Net's largest video sharing
site, YouTube. "[W]hile the 'video' tag is a big step forward for open
standards, the Adobe Flash Platform will continue to play a critical
role in video distribution," John Harding wrote.

Who Should - or Shouldn't - Use Linux?
Independence Day may come only once a year here in the land of stars and
stripes, but the topic of independence is one that's never far from
Linux bloggers' minds. Freedom, in other words, and all the myriad
benefits that go along with it. It's an oft-cited reason for using our
favorite operating system, and it's also a topic that got examined up
close recently by the inquiring minds over at TuxRadar.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/70329.html

App Development: New Rules for a New Game, Part 3
Application development in the cloud requires special data models such
as schema-less and sometimes typeless databases, and that could lead to
a new battleground in which the major players such as Microsoft, IBM and
HP will come out with their own data models and back-end platforms.

iPhone 4 First Impressions: The One to Get, If You Can Find It
I tried to preorder an iPhone 4 online, but of course, I was one of the
hundreds of thousands of potential buyers who could not get through the
clogged Apple and AT&T servers on June 15, the first day the companies
began accepting early orders. By the time the servers and system
recovered enough to let me in, I was facing a "Ships by July 2" notice.
Ouch.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/70325.html

Sony Recalls Half a Million Too-Hot-to-Handle Notebooks
Sony has issued a voluntary global recall of 535,000 Vaio notebook
computers after reports of a defect in the devices' temperature control
software was brought to its attention. The flaw can cause the notebook
to overheat, sometimes to an extreme degree. The recalled products are
from the VPCF11 Series and VPCCW2 Series notebook computers, slightly
less than half of which are in the U.S.
