Yahoo! Finally Pulls Plug on GeoCities

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

We finally have something to be excited about during these dark days of the current economy. Back in the dark ages of the internet, when most people still had to “dial in” while listening to some strange device making weird sounds in order to go on the net, there were services that allowed people with absolutely no knowledge on web design to create and host webpages. One of those services was GeoCities.

It’ll sell in the U.S. for around US$500.


Nokia E75 Press Release

Espoo, Finland – The Nokia E75 has arrived in stores, bringing the company’s best efficiency and productivity solution to the market. The new arrival is the first device to ship with the new email user interface, offering full desktop email functionality, and complete integration of Nokia’s email and messaging services.

Made from the quality materials one expects from Nokia Eseries, the Nokia E75 has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and efficient three-step email setup. This simplicity is achieved with the integration of Nokia Messaging, which ships with a device for the first time in the Nokia E75. Nokia Messaging is a service that opens up the world’s leading consumer email accounts – including Yahoo! Mail®, Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail – and is joined by Nokia’s corporate email clients, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler, which provide direct access to over 90 percent of the world’s corporate inboxes as well.

The richer email experience in the Nokia E75 brings all of the owner’s accounts into one simple to access and easy to use UI, which supports the most common features for desktop email including expanding views, one click reply and sub-folder and HTML support. Added to the enhanced email functionality, upgraded personal information management features such as the ability to create and respond to meeting requests, and contacts lookup and auto-complete, also make their debut in the Nokia E75.

The Nokia E75 also integrates tightly to other Ovi services and ships with Ovi Files, for storing files online, Nokia Maps, which works with the onboard A-GPS, and Nokia’s games service N-Gage which is supported for the first time in a Nokia Eseries device.

Samsung Releases its Web Widget-Enhanced LED-Backed LCD TVs

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Samsung_tv

This week, Samsung is releasing the first TVs with the hyped embedded Yahoo Widget Engine, and those who have taken a first look are saying the feature works quite well.

YahootvwidgetThe Samsung LED Series 7 TVs include a widget ’strip’ stream of popular web apps that come up without interrupting video onscreen. Among the first apps to be included are some for Flickr, YouTube, and different news orgs, like ABC News.

Katherine Boehret from the Wall Street Journal says she found the widgets easy to use because they’re integrated to a color-coded shortcut on the TV remote. She also appreciated the ability of the screen user interface to re-size itself when the more detailed widget panel takes over the left-hand side of the screen.

One of the things people noted (including myself) about the limitation of this web widget system when it was announced was the lacking physical keyboard. Some apps, like business email or IM, can really only be used with a keyboard in order to be properly useful. The on-screen keyboard the new Samsung TVs come with, which must be used with the limiting remote, is likely not as fast or as comfortable to use. 

Samsung_tvsIn fact, I wonder if this limitation will force people to realize they can simply connect their HDTVs directly to their PC to pick up web video online. Believe it or not, millions out there still haven’t made that connection.

The Samsung LED TVs have a 120 Hz response time, are WiFi-ready (with the purchase of an additional adapter), and are also among the first TVs to have an edge-lit back light system, which allows it to be fairly thin and to produce greater luminance.  LEDs are used as the primary light source for the LCD, as opposed to CCFLs, which helps them save energy and produce improved contrast ratios.

The 46-inch LED TVs are now available for sale for $3,000 and the 55-inch ones sell for $3,700. Some stores like Best Buy are already receiving orders.

Other companies, including LG and Vizio, will also come out with their own web widget-enabled TVs this year.
