Google to Partner with Sprint for Mobile Payments on Thursday? - Techland - TIME.com
Bloomberg is reporting that Google and Sprint will be launching a contact-less payment system this Thursday based on near-field communication, or NFC, technology. Google’s Nexus S 4G handset that’s available from Sprint already has NFC technology built into it, so most of the heavy lifting needs to be done on the retail side with NFC-equipped point-of-sale terminals. Bloomberg contends that Google may roll out the new payment service in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. at first, according to a few of its sources. Google’s certainly rolling something out in New York on Thursday, as I’ve been invited by Google to attend a “partner event to experience our latest innovations,” at noon. When I pressed Google’s PR rep to tell me—off the record—what the event was about to see if it’d be worth my while to travel all the way from Boston to attend, I was told—besides, “No.”

Il existe de nombreux services qui analysent l’activité d’un profil Twitter .

Longtime fans of Apple’s iPod nano lamented a major change in its radical sixth-generation redesign: the absence of a video camera like the one present on the previous-generation model. Apple may be prepared to change that if a Taiwanese Apple blog is correct. The current sixth-generation iPod nano was introduced last September. It trades the rectangular design and click wheel of previous models for an entirely square design that featured an icon-driven touch screen interface reminiscent of that found on the iPod touch.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Laptop computers using Google's Chrome operating system will go on sale in June, as the world's No. 1 Internet search engine challenges Microsoft Corp and Apple on their home turf. The new Web-centric PCs, made by Samsung and Acer Inc, are Google's latest attempt to change how consumers and companies use their computers. The bare-bones operating system is essentially a web browser that steers users to use applications like email and spreadsheets directly on the web, instead of storing software such as Outlook or Word directly on PCs. Moving day-to-day functions onto the Internet removes the burden of time-consuming tasks associated with traditional PCs, like installing software and updates, backing up files and running antivirus checks, executives said. "The complexity of managing your computer is torturing users," Google cofounder Sergey Brin told reporters.
