Android Hits 51.8% Market Share In the U.S. [STUDY] Android has a bigger U.S. market share than all other mobile operating systems combined, according to a new report by Nielsen. Nielsen's research shows that 51.8% of smartphone owners in the U.S. use an Android handset.
Apple's iOS has a 34.3% market share, and the rest is divided between RIM's BlackBerry (8.1%) and Microsoft's Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 platforms (4.3%). Symbian and Palm OS both have less than one percent market share: 0.9% and 0.6%, respectively. This is in line with a recent report from comScore, which claimed Android topped 50% market share in February 2012. Nielsen's numbers from recent smartphone acquirers (last three months) paint an even rosier picture for Android and iOS, with their respective market shares jumping to 54.6% and 36.3%, at the expense of everyone else.
Digging a little bit deeper into those numbers reveals Apple's dominance on the market, as it is by far the biggest manufacturer out there with its 34.3% share. German mayor defends 'men only' parking spots - World. Scanbox - Turn your iPhone into a portable scanner by Phil Bosua. Scanbox is an easy to use, affordable and unbelievably portable scanning box that uses your smartphone's camera to take amazing high quality scans. It's easy to set up and packs down flat to easily fit into your bag or brief case. Scanbox was born from the idea that we need to use document scanners every so often, but traditional desktop scanners are far too big, expensive and cumbersome for their occasional usefulness.
They take up desk space, require you to install drivers/updates and need a power source to operate. Scanbox on the other hand can be set up and packed down in seconds. We [Phil Bosua, Ben Hillier and Luke Allen] have redesigned Scanbox countless times over the past 3 months; constantly making it simpler to use and ensuring it works in every situation. We are now ready to take Scanbox into full production. Scanbox has been designed to optimize nearly all lighting conditions so your scans always look great. Scanbox also has many other uses: Wow!! 420,000 Formspring Passwords Compromised in Security Breach. Social network Formspring is the latest victim of a massive password leak. More than 420,000 member accounts were compromised, the company has confirmed. Formspring posted a message on its site on Tuesday that a hacker released 420,000 password hashes from its servers and posted the log-in information to a security forum.
The news comes just weeks after sites such as LinkedIn, eHarmony and Last.fm experienced similar security breaches. "We learned this morning that we had a security breach where some user passwords may have been accessed," Formspring wrote on its site. "In response to this, we have disabled all users passwords. We apologize for the inconvenience but prefer to play it safe and have asked all members to reset their passwords. " SEE ALSO: Facebook Adds Security Checkpoints to Cut Down on Malware The site is still investigating what happened.
Formspring said it has since fixed the hole and upgraded its encryption. New York City's Bicycle Wars. Paul Griffin is not an angry driver. Griffin — a private tutor who is, full disclosure, a friend of mine — meditates regularly, hosts a monthly Buddhist book club and is generally able to approach life with more serenity than anyone who regularly braves New York City's madness-inducing traffic should be able to manage. But there's one aspect of New York motoring that drives Griffin crazy: the growing number of bicyclists. "Many feel they own the streets; worse, they often break the law," he says. "As a driver, I find many bikers annoying, entitled and dangerous. " Once the province of aggro bike messengers and pressed-for-time deliverymen, cycling has gone mainstream in much of New York City. The bikeification of New York's crowded streets will culminate this month when the Citi Bike share program launches.
And that is what has some New Yorkers — drivers and pedestrians alike — so annoyed. My boss just changed my job entirely.

Later, Bane attacks the Gotham Stock Exchange, using Bruce's fingerprints in a transaction that bankrupts Wayne.

Cyclists with iPods hear the same as motorists listening to nothing. Oz mag set out to find out if "iPod wearing zombies" heard more or less than motorists with their windows up or music playing.
Ride On magazine of Australia has discovered that cyclists listening to music or podcasts while riding hear more ambient traffic noise than motorists listening to an in-car stereo or even listening to nothing at all. Cars - with windows up - are inherently sound-proof. Equipped with a decibel meter ("and a synthetic model ear specifically created for us by our regular collaborator at RMIT Industrial Design, Dr Scott Mayson") Ride On magazine measured the traffic noises that could be heard by cyclists wearing ear buds and motorists listening to music or no music at all.
"With the ear-bud in our synthetic ear but not playing music, we measured the ambient traffic noise at 79dB. With the in-ear earphones, the traffic noise was 71dB," states Ride On. "We quickly established that cars are remarkably soundproof. Article continues below. $99 Android-based game console : Android. The Dota 2 Experience, Part One : DotA2. The Dota 2 Experience, Part One • Articles • PC. By Quintin Smith Published Tuesday, 10 July 2012 This started in a pub. Of course it did. I remember agreeing to something about Dota 2 between a fourth and fifth pint of foamy lager. The next morning I woke up to an email. "Hello one and all, "You've all expressed some interest in being part of an elite strike team attempting to learn Dota 2 and then actually beat some REAL PEOPLE at it. Oh, bollocks. It's worth knowing three things about Dota 2, a.k.a. They attempt to refine it because - number two - Dota is as unrefined and antisocial as chewing tobacco.

What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light? - Ellen McManis Let’s set aside the question of how we got the baseball moving that fast. We'll suppose it's a normal pitch, except in the instant the pitcher releases the ball, it magically accelerates to 0.9c. From that point onward, everything proceeds according to normal physics The answer turns out to be “a lot of things”, and they all happen very quickly, and it doesn’t end well for the batter (or the pitcher).
The ball is going so fast that everything else is practically stationary. The ideas of aerodynamics don’t apply here. These gamma rays and debris expand outward in a bubble centered on the pitcher’s mound. The constant fusion at the front of the ball pushes back on it, slowing it down, as if the ball were a rocket flying tail-first while firing its engines. After about 70 nanoseconds the ball arrives at home plate. Suppose you’re watching from a hilltop outside the city. Bill Murray Announces Party Crashing Tour Starting In August. The Ass Press Posted: 07/9/2012 6:00:14 PM PDT New York, NY — Known to crash parties all over the New York City area, Bill Murray will soon be giving the rest of the country the same treatment. It’s unclear the exact parties that he will be attending, but if you live in any of the cities that he plans to crash, Bill Murray might just be partying with you.
Mr. Murray did not speak to reporters but did have his agent Paul Horner answer some of their questions and make a few statements. “Mr. Murray is looking to take a vacation around the United States. He’s hoping that if he shows up to your party with a bottle of wine or vegetable tray, you will be able to make the proper accommodations for him. “Oh heck yeah Bill Murray can party with us,” said 30-year-old Dean Huls, a long-time fan of Bill Murray. Horner continued to explain some of the conditions of the tour to reporters. Bill Murray Party Crashing Tour Hotline: (785) 273-0325 Phoenix Las Vegas Chicago Portland Philadelphia Milwaukee digg.

A British music festival has become the first in the country to exclusively use RFID chips in place of paper tickets.
It’s an idea that has major technical advantages, but has been slow to spread outside the US and the cost implications are still questionable. At most music festivals, attendees are issued with a paper ticket when they book and then exchange these at the gate for a wristband, often colored to show if they have any special privileges such as backstage access. Aside from allowing quick checks around the venue to make sure people are in the right place, and allowing people who leave the site to re-enter, such wristbands don’t have any other functions. For this past weekend’s Wakestock event, a combined music and watersport culture festival, customers didn’t get a paper ticket. Instead they received the wristband in advance, meaning there was no time-consuming exchange when entering the venue.
DTE Energy to unveil 'smart meter' opt-out fee next month. DTE Energy Co. says it agrees with the Michigan Public Service Commission's decision last week to allow customers to opt out of its wireless electric meter program amid safety concerns of some users. But Detroit-based DTE said in a statement that residents who opt out will pay an undetermined fee to cover conversion costs. That would include customers who keep their old meters or request their previously installed wireless meters be removed. DTE said customer costs to opt out will be filed with the commission within the next 30 days. A commission report said that advanced meters, also known as "smart meters," represent a safe technology and that the health risk is "insignificant. " DTE's current electromechanical meters are obsolete, the report said.
The wireless meters emit very low amounts of radio frequencies and are not harmful, DTE said. Emissions are below federal standards and are equivalent to a garage door opener or TV remote, the company said. Shocking: Detroit Rapper Calicoe shows off his Dog "Fighting" operation.

From one manufacturer to the next, one year to the next, these tablets have failed to find an audience or win any vocal supporters. Yet sales for the 10-inch iPad continue to vault higher with each quarter. All the while, companies keep trying to make 7-inchers work, hammering away at the form factor, making the same mistakes (underpowered internals, chunky bodies, poor performance), expecting different results. The form saw its first measured success with the Kindle Fire, which cracked a few million unit sales in a single month during 2011's holiday season. But the Fire's reception then, and sales performance since, doesn't suggest a raft of blissfully happy customers.
