  • 'Humanity toward others' extended to Windows with Ubuntu One cloud storage

     


    Are you a Windows user in need of yet another cloud storage

    option? Lucky for you, after a long-running beta, Canonical's Ubuntu One client has officially debuted on Microsoft's platform. First introduced with Ubuntu 10.10

    , the service offers 5GB of free storage, with file syncing across multiple machines, ala Dropbox

    . Android and iOS clients are already available. If you need more space, how about 20GB for $29.99 a year or $2.99 a month? And if portable tunes is your game, you can have that same 20GB along with music streaming apps (similar to Google Music Beta

    ) for $39.99 a year or $3.99 a month. Click the source link to engage in some cross-platform storage.

  • Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard update video leaks, tours Metro in silence

     



    Last month, we sat down with Microsoft for a quick look at the Xbox's upcoming Dashboard update

    -- it was sleek, searchable, and extremely camera shy. A quick trip to Europe seems to have cured it of its bashful ways, however, and the budding update can now be seen in a slightly blurry piece of French cinema. This leaked video shows a Dashboard with a smidge more polish than the demo we saw in September, and silently plods on without so much as a bleep or bloop. Our mute host briefly peeks at the Xbox Live Marketplace, casually glances at the Bing search page and scrolls leisurely through the new Dash's very Metro

    menu. The whole shebang is en français, of course, and the update's snappy voice-control gimmick is sadly absent. Sure, there's not a lot of depth here, but if you want a glimpse of what's coming when the update drops later this Fall, it's definitely worth a look.

  • Mango kills Microsoft's always-on location tracking, makes good on letter to House of Representatives

     

    Remember all that iPhone tracking

    hubbub back in April? Sure you do -- you probably also recall Apple's denial

    , the subsequent Senate hearing

    , and the rest of the fiasco's dramatic

    fallout

    . Amid the ballyhoo, Microsoft stepped out

    to admit that its Windows Phone also collected location data, but quickly promised to knock it off following the next scheduled update. According to ChevronWP7

    collaborator Rafael Rivera, Windows Phone 7.5 cinches it: Mango "no longer sends location data prior to being granted permission to do so." Redmond previously told the US House of Representatives that it only collected location data if a user expressly allowed an application to send it along -- a claim which Rivera debunked last week, noting that simply launching the camera application captured and transmitted "pin-point accurate positioning information." The big M maintains that the collected location data was anonymous, and that it shouldn't have been sent at all unless the user allowed it. Either way, Microsoft's chapter in the big location tracking blunder of 2011 seems to be at a close, squaring the firm with Congress, its developers, and hopefully its customers.

  • New Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 holder comes with bike attached

     

    For a tablet that prides itself in being thin and lightweight, the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

    accessory sure adds considerable heft to the device. The Korean manufacturer's UK branch has teamed up with 14 Bike Co to bring the world the Samsung Galaxy bicycle -- a mild-mannered bike with a custom paint job and a detachable holder for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 made from carbon fiber. So, why carry a tablet on a bicycle? For checking things like mileage planners and route trackers on the go, apparently. No word on pricing yet, but we're guessing that this'll be among the more expensive tablet accessories out there. Press information after the break.

  • How would you change Samsung's Chromebook Series 5?

     

    It's compact, it's cute and it's weird. But it might be your perfect netbook. Google's Chromebook

    family isn't apt to ever be an end-all solution -- particularly for those that aren't married to the company's suite of web-based products -- and we're pretty sure Samsung's taking notes on how to make the eventual followup to the Series 5 even better. Battery life was stellar, and the matte display was a joy to look at, but we still found

    plenty of quibbles. Are you one of the early adopters who picked one of these guys up? If given the chance, how would you tweak the design / software / whatever else? Go on and get crafty in comments below!

  • Inhabitat's Week In Green: eco abodes, world's largest solar park and Axeon's new EV battery

     Each week our friends at Inhabitat

    recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green.

    It's been an epic week for green building and clean-tech, as the 2011 Solar Decathlon

    showcased 19 of the world's most stunning sun-powered prefab homes in Washington DC -- and Inhabitat brought you up-to-the-minute coverage on winning home designs

    . Several of the houses feature remarkably unconventional designs -- see Sci-Arc and Caltech's puffy inside-out prefab

    and Team Canada's teepee-inspired TRTL home

    -- while others like Purdue's INHome

    relied upon tried-and-true building typologies upgraded with state-of-the art solar systems. Ultimately the University of Maryland's innovative WaterShed House

    won first place in the competition with their greenery infused, water-focused, living home. Purdue University's more traditional INHome

    took second place, and Team New Zealand (Victoria University of Wellington) placed third with their beautiful wooden First Light home

    .

    Speaking of major feats of renewable energy, this week Iceland announced plans to construct the first zero-carbon data center

    and Germany opened the world's largest solar park

    on top of an abandoned open-pit mine. We also took a look at the innovative new SeaTwirl turbine

    , which could be the most cost-effective wind energy generator to date, and we watched Pavegen reveal plans to power a shopping center with tiles that harvest energy from pedestrian footsteps

    . Google also made a major investment

    to bring solar power systems to 3,000 homes, MIT developed a working "artificial leaf

    " that generates hydrogen fuel from water and sunlight, and Axeon unveiled a new battery

    that could extend electric car range by 35 percent.

    In other green transportation news, sun-powered vehicles soared towards the stars this week as NASA announced plans to launch the largest solar sail spacecraft ever created

    , and Japan's TOTO unveiled a crazy talking poop-powered motorcycle

    topped with a toilet. We also took a spin in the world's strongest electric train

    (which has over 10,000 horsepower), and we launched a competition to win a one year Zipcar membership

    . We also spotted a milk truck

    mobile breastfeeding unit, while scientists discovered a passive virus that can destroy breast cancer cells

    . Finally, from the realm of high-tech textiles we shared a student's plan to turn textile factory effluent

    into clean water, we showcased Janet Echelman's massive jellyfish-shaped string sculptures

    , and we dialed up an online tool

    capable of measuring your wardrobe's environmental impact.

  • Google and ITA's OnTheFly app update puts flexible flight planning in your pocket

     

    Google went through a lot

    to buy ITA and its travel software, and we saw the acquisition first bear fruit in the form of Mountain View's web-based Flight Search

    . Now the partnership has produced version 1.2 of the OnTheFly airfare booking app for Android, iOS and BlackBerry. What's new? Flexible date searches that let you peruse departures 35 days at a time, plus a price graph that shows the most fiscally prudent times to travel. Additionally, globetrotters can access their itinerary search history and see price changes for those fares throughout the year. Nice job fellas, now let's work on bringing bargain-basement fare finding for the final frontier

    in the next revision.

  • HTC security vulnerability said to leak phone numbers, GPS data, and more, HTC responds (video)

     


    The folks at Android Police seem to have stumbled across a rather jarring security vulnerability

    in HTC

    handsets running Android, giving common apps with internet access a peek at the device's vital statistics, user information and more. Demonstrated in the above video, developer Trevor Eckheart found that a recent HTC update packed in a suite of logging tools that collects data on user accounts (including email addresses), recent GPS locations, SMS data and encoded text, phone numbers, system logs, running processes and more -- all of which can be accessed by common apps requesting access to android.permission.INTERNET.

    HTC is already looking into the issue, stating, "HTC takes our customers' security very seriously, and we are working to investigate this claim as quickly as possible. We will provide an update as soon as we're able to determine the accuracy of the claim and what steps, if any, need to be taken." If you're too antsy to wait for HTC's update, head on over to the source link below -- Eckheart says the issue can be resolved by removing HTCloggers from a rooted device.

  • Switched On: Assets in gear

     Each week Ross Rubin

    contributes Switched On

    , a column about consumer technology.

    Ecosystems take years to build and depend on other companies. Really, who has the time these days? Plus, they kick in only if a product reaches critical mass. Microsoft and SanDisk demonstrated

    the risk a few years back with their digital media players in seeding the market with third-party cases and docks using their own

    proprietary and now abandoned connectors. Over the past year, though, we've seen a number of tech companies take a new approach to mobile product development -- the corporate showcase -- where they convincingly shun any notion of silos by throwing just about everything they've got into a product.
