Huawei has announced the successful launch of the industry's first prototype Giga DSL (Digital Subscriber line - digital subscriber line), which uses two-way communication with time division (TDD) to achieve a total rate of transfer 1000 Mb / s in the forward and backward by one twisted pair.
As the company to overcome the problems associated with bandwidth restriction systems FTTB / FTTC and complexity of cabling junction cables for FTTH, as well as to subscribers to enjoy broadband services (IPTV and HDTV), the connection point optical fiber should be located as far as possible closer to the user. Although access ultrabroadband 100 Mbit / s can be relatively easy to organize with the help of the resources available copper lines, but provide bandwidth to 1000 Mbit / s within a radius of 100 meters using DSL transmission technology on twisted pair is much more complicated.
Through the use of technology in signal transfer with low spectral density, the prototype Giga DSL Huawei has a low noise and energy consumption, while ensuring that the overall rate of transmission in forward and reverse 1-Gbit / s at a distance of 100 meters and 500 Mbit / s at a distance 200 meters. Thanks to the operators hand will reduce the cost of building a network of UWB access.

Intel has revised policy on development and implementation of energy efficient, but not too productive platform Intel Atom. According to data obtained by representatives of the resource DigiTimes, these processors will be focused on the use of network storage systems for home and basic servers. The platform will be a very modern solution-type system-on-chip, carried out in 32-nm process technology. It was reported earlier that will support 64-bit software and system memory up to 8 GB on a single panel. CPU clock speed is 1.6 GHz. Against the backdrop of a series of previous decisions of the Intel Atom new chips will be more energy efficient, peaks of heat will be from 5 to 8 watts. Centerton platform should be provided by Intel in the spring of 2012. It is assumed that such a revision of the strategy was a reaction to weak sales of current-generation Cedar Trail Intel Atom processor models N2600 and N2800. These platforms targeted for use mainly in netbooks, although it was a step forward in the series, but suffered from the falling interest in netbooks, which are noticeably inferior race tablets and portable notebooks. The results of the fiscal year for Intel are not known yet (they will be published in January), but based on the fact that in all quarters there was a reduction of profit growth, it is unlikely that we should expect some surprises.

Considering screen orientation is essential when creating a good user experience. Imagine having a game on your smartphone that can only be played with the phone facing one direction. Or what if the information entered in a field of an app gets erased every time you rotated the phone? It’s not an ideal user experience. So if you haven’t taken screen orientation changes into consideration when you’re developing your game, this is our next game developer tip. Read on for more details.
Android™ is designed to run efficiently on a wide array of devices with varying hardware configurations. Some devices can change their hardware configuration at runtime, so that, for example, if the device has a keyboard, the screen changes from portrait to landscape orientation.
The Android system automatically handles configuration change events and restarts the current activity. The restart behaviour is designed to help your application adapt to new configurations by automatically reloading your application with alternative resources that match the new device configuration. But this behaviour may be confusing to new Android developers, who may wonder why their activity is destroyed and recreated.
We’ve already seen a few instances where screens have not been oriented properly, and it creates a very poor user experience. Therefore, we strongly suggest that developers do ensure proper screen orientation for their apps, which is our newest tip (AP18) for the Xperia™ Game Developer Recommendations list. The application should take care of orientation changes and allocate appropriate resources accordingly. The orientation of a device can be checked by using:
getResources().getConfiguration().orientation
Also, please remember that an Android activity is restarted by default when an orientation is changed, so you should ensure that activities (saving the state of the application, handling resources) are properly handled.
The Android Developer resources site has more information on the orientation field. And if you have any other questions on how to configure screen orientation, please leave us a comment and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
New estimated closing in the beginning of 2012
Ericsson and Telcordia confident in the progress of the approval process
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) informs that the acquisition of Telcordia will likely not close before year-end as originally forecasted when the agreement was announced on June 14, 2011.
With approvals still outstanding from certain government authorities and as we are in the holiday season, the original estimate of closing by year-end is likely not probable.
Both companies continue to work diligently with the government authorities in order to close the acquisition as soon as possible. Our new estimate is in the beginning of 2012.
On June 14, 2011, Ericsson announced that it had entered into a merger agreement with Providence Equity Partners, LLC and Warburg Pincus to acquire 100 percent of the shares of Telcordia for USD 1.15 billion in an all cash transaction, on a cash and debt-free basis. The transaction includes approximately 2,600 employees and Telcordia's customer base.

Due to the use of Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, LG’s 3D glasses are battery-free, lightweight and inexpensive, making them ideal for watching 3D content in large groups and comfortably for longer periods of time.
And even though LG’s Smart TV ecosystem is growing in features and choices, using the TV is simpler than ever, thanks to the new Magic Remote. The new Voice Recognition mode lets users enter text -- such as search terms -- by making voice commands. Wheel enables users to swiftly scroll up and down various menus and apps, allowing for quicker selections. Magic Gesture makes it possible to communicate physical movements as commands. And lastly, Pointing lets users make on-screen selections quickly and easily without having to scroll or push direction keys repeatedly.
The new CINEMA 3D Smart TVs offer a variety of connectivity features. The newest among them is Intel’s Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, which enables easy and quick connection between TVs and PCs without the need for cables or Internet access. Through Smart Share Plus, users can access content stored on external devices such as PCs, tablets and smartphones. Smart Share Plus also offers the Screen Share function which streams TV content to external viewing devices using a Wi-Fi connection.
The quantity of content is further expanded through premium content services available through the Smart TV function. While content availability constantly grows, they remain easy to access, thanks to the upgraded Home Dashboard, which allows for quick browsing. And the shortcuts displayed on the Home Dashboard can be customized, giving users the option to handpick their favorite content and apps for instant access.
New CINEMA 3D TV Glasses Will Convince More Consumers
That 3D Doesn’t Have to Be Uncomfortable or Ugly
LG Electronics (LG) announced that its newest collection of 3D glasses, including a pair designed by renowned eyewear designer Alain Mikli, will be introduced in the first quarter of 2012. The new 3D glasses -- the F310, the clip-on F320 and the Alain Mikli F360 -- are lighter and more comfortable to wear while upgraded design features such as curved lenses and clean frame structure have transitioned 3D glasses from burdensome requirements to stylish fashion accessories.
“Compared to active shutter glasses, LG’s 3D glasses are far more comfortable to wear and much more affordable, making it possible for large groups and entire families to watch 3D programs and movies together,” said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of the LG Home Entertainment Company. “LG is addressing two of the biggest barriers to 3D acceptance head-on and we’re confident consumers will react favorably to our strategy in the coming year.”
The F310 is characterized by a distinctive design that combines soft lines within a slim frame. Unlike many previous 3D glasses, the lenses have been curved to better accommodate the shape of the wearer’s face, as well as to improve the overall CINEMA 3D viewing experience. The F310 weighs a mere 13.5 grams, making it 20 percent lighter than LG’s previous design.
Another new item for 2012 includes the clip-on F320. Clip-on 3D glasses are unique to 3D TVs based on Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, which is at the heart of CINEMA 3D TV. Compared to the previous generation clip-on 3D glasses, the F320 weighs 25 percent less at 5.5 grams.
Developed in collaboration with Alain Mikli, the F360’s half-rim frame design is sportier and only weighs 16 grams. The lenses of the F360 have been curved and cover most of the wearer’s face, deepening the immersive CINEMA 3D experience. The stylish F360, as well as all 3D glasses from LG, can also worn in theaters showing 3D movies since both CINEMA 3D and theaters utilize the same FPR and RealD technologies.
LG’s share of the global 3D TV market increased from 7.6 percent during the first quarter of 2011 to 14 percent by September. FPR’s unobtrusive technology played a key role in the company’s success in 3D TVs, as uncomfortable and expensive glasses have been identified in numerous studies as being the number one reason consumers have been reluctant to adopt 3D in the home.
LG plans to continue the success it saw this year by sponsoring a series of 3D film and gaming events in 2012 in order to introduce the CINEMA 3D experience to thousands of participants and visitors.

•Samsung to acquire all of Sony's shares of S-LCD, making the joint venture its wholly-owned subsidiary
•Sony and Samsung enter into a strategic agreement for supply and purchase of LCD panels.
Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation (“Sony”) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) announced that the two companies have signed agreements to transition the current business relationship with respect to LCD panels.
Under the agreement, Samsung will acquire all of Sony's shares of S-LCD Corporation (“S-LCD”), the two companies' LCD panel manufacturing joint venture, making S-LCD a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung. In consideration for the share transfer, cash consideration of approximately KRW 1.08 trillion* will be paid to Sony by Samsung. Concurrently, the two companies have entered into a new strategic agreement for the supply and purchase of LCD panels with a goal of enhancing the competitiveness of both companies. The agreement also allows Sony and Samsung to continue cooperative engineering efforts focused on LCD panel technology.
For Sony, this transaction will enable it to monetize its shares in S-LCD and aims to secure a flexible and steady supply of LCD panels from Samsung, based on market prices and without the responsibility and costs of operating a manufacturing facility. With whole ownership of S-LCD, Samsung anticipates heightened flexibility, speed and efficiency in both panel production and business operations.
Established in April 2004, S-LCD has continued to deliver advanced and cost-competitive LCD panels to both of its parent companies, contributing to the expansion of the respective parties' TV businesses, and the large-sized LCD TV market overall. However, LCD panel and TV market conditions have now changed. In order to respond to such challenging conditions and to strengthen their respective market competitiveness, the two companies have agreed to shift to a new LCD panel business alliance.
The share transfer and payment are targeted to close by the end of January 2012, subject to necessary approvals from regulatory authorities.
As a result of this transaction, a non-cash impairment loss of approximately JPY 66 billion is expected to be incurred by Sony in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, due to the reevaluation of its S-LCD shares. This loss includes an impact from the fluctuation of exchange rate. Despite this one-time loss, Sony estimates that the transaction will result in substantial savings on and after January 1, 2012 in respect of costs associated with its procurement of LCD panels. The current estimate of the yearly savings in respect of such costs is approximately JPY 50 billion, compared to LCD panel procurement costs estimated for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. Neither the one-time loss nor the estimated cost savings were included in Sony's forecast of consolidated financial results for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, announced on November 2, 2011. Sony is currently reevaluating this forecast, taking into account this transaction and other factors that might affect its full year FY2011 consolidated financial results forecast.

Intel has recently notified its partners that the company will fully release its Thunderbolt technology in April of 2012 with several first-tier PC players already preparing to launch Thunderbolt-supported motherboards, notebooks and desktop PCs, according to sources from PC players.
To speed up the standardization of Thunderbolt, Intel is cooperating with Apple and Apple is the sole vendor currently to have PC products featuring Thunderbolt technology. As demand for the technology has seen obvious growth, Intel is ready to release the technology for public use.
Due to Thunderbolt chip costs being more than US$20 and the solution running a conflict with USB 3.0 in terms of next-generation data transmission technology, the Thunderbolt did not receive strong attention from the IT industry when announced, but as Apple has largely adopted the technology into its products such as monitor, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air and MacBook Mini, it has strongly boosted demand.
With the cost for adopting Thunderbolt technology expected to drop in the second half of 2012, the technology should be standardized gradually in the future, the sources noted.
Currently Sony is expected to adopt Thunderbolt technology into its product lines with players such as Asustek Computer also expected to adopt the technology into their high-end notebook products. Gigabyte Technology, which has been aggressively adopting new transmission technology into its product line, is also expected to launch Thunderbolt-featured motherboard in April of 2012 to compete against Asustek and ASRock.

Recently released for sale smartphone Nokia Lumia 800 on the basis of the operating system Windows Phone, is known to have problems with the battery. More precisely, it is a long battery life, which, despite the 1500 mAh battery, not so much, and users are complaining that the battery too quickly discharged. Recall, Nokia Lumia 800 - a model based on the 1.4-GHz processor, equipped with 3.7-inch touchscreen and an 8-megapixel camera. Nokia has already promised to release a software update for your device which is designed to solve the problem. We now know that it will be less than a month, and more specifically - on January 18. In particular, the operator 3 in Italy, received an email that the update will start it on January 18. Also, this report notes that at the request of users who do not want to wait until the updates are released, the unit can be replaced.
When Apple launched its Newsstand feature in iTunes this fall, the idea was that giving newspaper and magazine publishers their own dedicated shelf space — for those who signed on to Apple’s subscription program – would boost sales.
And perhaps it has. After the feature launched in October, there were a flurry of press releases and reports about increases in downloads and activity, though every report I saw listed percentage increases, not actual numbers.
But here are some, from Bonnier’s Popular Science mag app, in convenient chart form. The jump you see in the second week of October corresponds with the launch of Newsstand:
The chart comes to us courtesy of Mag+, Bonnier’s tablet-publishing software business. And as Mag+ CEO Staffan Ekholm points out, the really promising indicator for Pop Sci isn’t the one-week sales leap of 13 percent — it’s that the the magazine’s growth picked up after that week, with more velocity.
It’s very easy to caveat this report – the most obvious thing to point out is that Pop Sci is a title that resonates particularly well with the iTunes market. But it’s still nice to see actual sales data, no matter how anecdotal.
The next thing I’d love to see, though I’m not sure how easy it will be to suss out, is how often readers return to Newsstand apps. In my personal experience, I find that I end up visiting the New York Times’ app much less frequently now that it’s stored in the Newsstand. I wish I could pull it out on its own, so it could sit next to stuff I use all the time, like Instapaper and Twitter. If anyone wants to offer up usage stats, you’ve got an open platform here.

Southeast Asia is closer to the equator than the North Pole, but an electronics store in Vietnam is ringing in the holidays with a 15-foot Christmas tree made from more than 2500 unusable cellular phones.Nguyen Trai, a store manager at Westcom Electronics in the southern city of My Tho, says 10 workers spent two weeks building the cellular Christmas tree that he hopes will raise awareness about hazardous waste and promote environmental responsibility.The glittering, cone-shaped creation has been on display for about two weeks outside the store in southern Tien Giang Province.Between 700 and 800 people visit daily, Trai told the Associated Press."Many of them have taken pictures with the tree," he said.Cellphones are ubiquitous in Vietnam, where more than 60 percent of the population is under 30 and hordes of young people flaunt flashy electronics to mark their rising wealth even as the country struggles to contain one of Asia's highest inflation rates.Although the majority of communist Vietnam's 87 million people are Buddhist, there is a sizable Catholic minority and an enthusiastic general embrace of all things Christmas. The country's two largest cities - Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City - are studded with holiday lights all winter long, with bright-eyed teens promenading in Santa hats and yuletide-themed electronic music blaring in sidewalk cafes.Westcom Electronics plans to auction its cellphone tree next year and donate the proceeds to charity, said store manager Nguyen Trai, adding that staff members are already collecting unusable phones in hopes of erecting an even bigger Christmas "pine tree" next year.There are tens of millions of cellphones in circulation in Vietnam, but it's impossible to know how many used phones are dumped each year because the government doesn't collect such data, said Nguyen Thanh Yen of Vietnam's Environment Administration.Yen said he welcomed the idea of raising awareness about hazardous waste, but Westcom Electronics has violated Vietnamese law, which requires businesses to seek official permission before using hazardous waste for new purposes.According to the United Nations Environment Programme, people working in the informal sector collect the majority of "recyclable and reusable waste" in urban areas of Vietnam.Solid waste management is among the "major environmental burdens" in developed and developing countries across Asia, especially in megacities, the U.N. says.

Earlier this week, Google and Mozilla said they had struck a deal to renew their search royalty agreement for another three years.
What the pair declined to add: The search giant will pay just under $300 million per year to be the default choice in Mozilla’s Firefox browser, a huge jump from its previous arrangement, due to competing interest from both Yahoo and Microsoft.
Sources said this total amount — just under $1 billion — was the minimum revenue guarantee for delivering search queries garnered from consumers using Firefox.
Google’s main rival in the bid, sources said, was Microsoft’s Bing search service, which was aggressively trying to hip-check it from the main search spot on the browser.
That’s because the software giant has been spending a lot of money in efforts to grow Bing’s market share in the search market.
Microsoft, of course, also owns the still-dominant Internet Explorer browser, but Google’s Chrome has recently been making major gains over both IE and Mozilla’s Firefox.
Still, Mozilla’s recent negotiations with both companies was about search market share.
Yahoo was also in the mix, even though Microsoft powers its search technology, because a hookup with Firefox was considered a plus in holding on to its declining search market share.
But the deal, which was being pushed hard by Yahoo’s Chief Product Officer Blake Irving and its search head Shashi Seth, was determined to be too costly for Yahoo.
Costly indeed, since the new price is much higher than Google had previously ponied up to Mozilla. In 2010, Google contributed 84 percent of Mozilla’s $123 million in revenue.
A previous version of the partnership had expired at the end of November, and the new talks were done against a backdrop of simmering tension between Google and Mozilla over Chrome.
As Liz Gannes wrote earlier this week:
Since the first search royalty deal was signed in 2008, Google’s own Chrome browser has become a significant competitor. Just last month, Chrome overtook Firefox in global usage for the first time, according to StatCounter. Both browsers — software which is used to navigate the Internet — have about 25 percent market share.
Even with the new default deal with Google, Mozilla still also has partnerships with other search providers, including Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Amazon and eBay.
Of course, everybody declined to comment on my queries to hand over all the financial deets stat.
But Google’s SVP of Search, Alan Eustace, said in a statement: “Mozilla has been a valuable partner to Google over the years and we look forward to continuing this great partnership in the years to come.”
Great, perhaps, but also much more expensive — so presumably Firefox is worth it.
