Google's online storage drive to start soon

There has long been rumored that Google is an online storage like DropBox or Microsoft Skydrive works. Now, first there is fairly specific to it. According to the cloud service will shortly be launched. How much memory there is, whether the story is for free or you cash it needs to lie down, is unfortunately not yet known. There are only statements by the Wall Street Journal , that is soon release.

I would be happy to introduce such a service very much, especially since I am a customer and publish Android Google Android App is certainly one. So we wait a few days or weeks, then we know more.

Street View halted in Germany - A comment

"Street View. This is the new site by any American company. The post photos of your house into the net and everyone can see it, everyone! "-" That is so outrageous. Something like one stop in Germany. My house has no one to care. Least of all the amino's. The only think back on it's own profit and not to the citizens. "

Either way this could be a dialog between the supermarket checkout waiting customers, while the one at the front and finally pulls out next to the cash and a Payback card. Points indicated. Kriegste indeed what the money back.

Anyone who has read the short story as above: it is about Street View. The devil service from Google. 20 cities have so far been put online. It will then remain. end with Street View in Germany . The Internet giant has decided to no longer offer this service in Germany. I can well imagine why. Many people wanted to leave her house Pixelize. They were probably so many that it is simply not worth it anymore for Google to do with your work. The care of the material is probably so big that you get the money no longer purely with displays in the pictures can. Too bad, I would have Street View in Germany like to see completely.

But this shows again an image of Germany. A picture of a country that is no new innovation opportunity to thrive. A country in which the bureaucratic hurdles are simply too high. Is it any wonder, then, that in Germany there is virtually no great websites out there? Facebook, Google, LinkedIn. All Ami's. Oh no wait, there's so XING, the studies were not. The latter are also as good as history .

It could also be that Google runs a slightly different strategy with Street View in Germany. It stops the service here and hoping that the people now but for "reason" is. Especially with Microsoft Streetside now wants to photograph the streets. Were so big protest like Street View yet. Possible white because it has not been published so publicly, as in Street View? Or maybe Germany has come a bit to calm down?

Protest to the street view, I could never understand. Roads are also photographed for many years. Although not by corporate giants, but of other small companies. For example, at RUHR.2010 when you could walk on the highway. No one knew about it until you've seen the car itself. If you look closely, you could probably read when entering the highway on a sign the fine print. But anyone reading this? Honestly?

The question is: Is that the better method? "What you know makes a non-hot". Is it better to leave people in ignorance, rather than inform them. When nothing was pixelated RUHR.2010 way. Got it. Each was seen.

But one thing is certain: Germany is not an innovation state. At least not when it comes to the issue of new media. Everything should remain as the best, just do not change. This is reflected by the way is also reflected in German politics. Exudation. If at some point be over.

("The [Payback] card is especially consumer associations privacy politically controversial, the card enables the Crystal Customers;.. Were then removed from the collected data to draw conclusions about the lifestyle of the customer draw and measure the success of advertising in 2000 was the Payback . system with the negative price Big Brother Award "48% of German households have a Payback card on the way.

'Oh no, the poor smartphones ...' would probably go some contemporaries in this video about the lips. In fact, someone has done to it, and put the 3 phones with the currently most popular operating systems on the grill. Which candidate holds well through the longest? Who starts the first fire, whose circuits remain quite cool? Here is a response in a non-cheek video.

Calendar of Windows Mobile 7 in action

Just came across a video that shows the use of the calendar in Windows Mobile 7 in action. And I like it quite well actually. The whole thing looks very smooth and simultaneously functional.

Initial tests on Windows Mobile 7

Although the mobile OS from the Redmond home Microsoft appears only in the course of this year, there are already initial tests. This is because Microsoft has now reached in the development known as Milestone and thus requires a small keystone. First test devices are already being shipped and arrive already familiar with so many groups of people. Engadget including the guys, a really very long test at the - have made ​​system - not quite finalem.

E3: Project Natal is now called Kinect and the Xbox 360 gets a new design

As a result of my now I have a lot of time geschafften baccalaureate, I thought to myself, I look at my update in the Microsoft E3 keynote, and let me get the latest moves by Microsoft to present times.
Microsoft goes to great. For one thing, it has secured exclusive rights of Call of Duty DLC, continues the highly successful Halo series and has Kinect (formerly Project Natal) another ace in the hand.

For the Natal-crazies is probably the most important message that the device is no longer Natal, but Kinect. Everything else is probably remained as usual: Using Kinect is possible to control it without any one game controller. Kinect consists of a camera, microphones and sensors that detect the human skeleton and translate the movements into the game. The microphone for voice control and because it allows so, get up without the XBox to give orders.

Images: Microsoft

Speaking of Xbox: This is now smaller and black. In addition, it has donated her a bigger hard drive (now 250 GB) and W-LAN. Everything is not really exciting, but I like the new design of the Xbox actually quite good. The price of $ 299 remains the same and will begin shipping immediately.

Why is not Microsoft's Kin Pops are

One or the other, it will probably have noticed Microsoft wants to take finally with hardware in the mobile business consumer base and launch its own mobile phone division. A full two mobile phones, Microsoft has introduced this last week that the name KIN KIN hear one and two. Both models are manufactured by Sharp and offered in connection with a Vodafone contract.

Here, the raw sound actually not bad: QVGA display, 4GB memory and a 5-megapixel camera (the one KIN) or HVGA display, 8GB memory and an 8-megapixel camera (with two KIN). In addition to two mobile phones also have 3G, Bluetooth and WiFi.

Windows Mobile 7: Copy and paste is that!

Small update:

Just today I've complained about the lack of copy and paste function in Microsoft's new mobile OS. Now I can say however, that copying and pasting is yet to come . Not with the release of the first cell phones, but in later updates to the function can be retrofitted. This is clear from a quote by Frederic Brandt, head of the Mobile division of Microsoft France:

Cette information a été confirmée here pendant la conférence mix. Lors de la sortie of the premiers appareils Windows Mobile 7 Series, il n'y aura pas de notre expérience dans copier-coller. We Have développe of alternative scenarios aux les plus courants de l'Utilisation de cette fonctionnalité What We dévoilerons dans les mois Prochains.

Bien sûr afin de l'expérience compléter, cette fonctionnalité est dans les mises à jour envisagée ultérieures au lancement.

Since not everyone can be here in French, I'll try to translate the quote into German:

This information was announced yesterday at the MIX conference. The first units will not have the time of publication of copy & paste.

However, in later updates, the feature will be added.

The question now is, of course, what does "later". Hopefully Microsoft will not wait too long ...

Windows Mobile 7 allegedly without copy & paste and multitasking [+ video from mobile phone-OS]

Today it is known that Windows Mobile 7, the new operating system for mobile phones from Microsoft without copy & paste function as well without multitasking comes along. In the latter case, the apps when switching to the home screen can be easily "killed" and removed from memory. It certainly brings some performance advantages, but also has many drawbacks. If one only once before, for example, you can navigate through the phone from the city and suddenly you are surprised by a phone call. The navigation can be ever forgotten. Would not it be much better if one accepts the call by voice command, and connected the phone via Bluetooth to the car? According to Microsoft probably does not.

In addition, you have to do probably also copy and paste in Windows Phone 7. This is also not very smart of Microsoft, has been rumored for months but Apple, the iPhone finally let them install a copy function. This has the iPhone now. WP7 not. Why not learn from the mistakes of others? Why is this a bug that the competitor has been rumored ever been copied? I can not explain it to me. Or Microsoft pursues the strategy of "From Apple you learn best?"

In both notices me is unfortunately only a courageous pity on her lips. I was still firmly convinced that my next phone a mobile phone with Windows Mobile is 7. Now I'm on to doubt whether this would be the right choice. Just hope for once that Microsoft nachbessert quickly. Have a little time to develop them still.
