Sejumlah institusi pendidikan di Amerika Serikat termasuk The University of Missouri dan Washington University membeli nama domain XXX. Tetapi, tujuannya adalah untuk mencegah orang lain membeli nama domain tersebut dan menjadikannya situs porno.

“Kami tidak ingin seseorang memanfaatkan nama besar kami untuk dijadikan situs porno,” kata Terry Robb, Director of Information Technology, University of Missouri-Columbia, seperti dikutip dari CBS News, 17 November 2011.

Robb menyebutkan, pihaknya telah mendaftarkan nama domain missouri.xxx dan missouritigers.xxx sebagai pencegahan.

Symbian updates 

Despite Nokia’s strong commitment to Windows Phone, the company is refusing to let Symbian die. According to a blurry cam photograph that surfaced recently, it looks like Nokia has a lot of plans for its Symbian devices. The photograph shows a future road map for the Symbian operating system, and apparently the next two versions will be called Symbian Carla and Symbian Donna. If the picture turns out to be the real deal, this will probably be the first time that the updates have been mentioned.

In addition to the names of the updates, we have some poorly translated details about the updates as well. Symbian Carla is said to feature version 8.0 of the Browser, Dolby Surround Sound, NFC, and “Best Widgets”. Symbian Donna on the other hand is said to be on “exclusive dual-core equipment”.
Carla is supposedly scheduled for a late 2012/early 2013 release and will run on higher-end Symbian phones. Symbian Donna is also said to be exclusive to dual-core devices and will probably be the last of the Symbian updates.

Regular watchers of Southeast Asia will not be surprised to see that Indonesia is leading the region, which is particularly significant for RIM as it is the smartphone market leader in the country. The company showed its commitment to Indonesia this week when co-CEO Jim Balsillie visited the country for the global launch of two new devices in Jakarta.
Though RIM is dominating in Indonesia, Android is tipped to hold the lead in the overall smartphone market in Southeast Asia, particularly given new data from GkF which shows sales of Google-owned OS devices have grown by a staggering 1,000 percent over the last twelve months.



China Mobile Plan to Open App Store Expansion To Rival Apple

Tidak ada komentar
China Mobile is planning to open its mobile app store to the whole of China next year, according to China Daily, in a move that will put it into direct competition with Apple, Android and other app stores in the country.

The expansion will see the operator — which, with more than 620 million subscribers, is the world’s largest — make its Mobile Market store available to all domestic mobile phones users in China, including those outside of its network. Additionally, it is introducing English language support to encourage new users outside of its usual reach within the country.
Mobile Market, which opened in August 2009, currently has 138 million registered users who have made more than 590 million downloads from the store as of last month, according to the China Daily article. The store includes applications for a range of different device but it stands out for its potential to rival Apple, as well as Android.
The move comes as China Mobile’s negotiations with Apple about carrying the iPhone hit a snag over the operator’s instance on a share of app revenues in the country.
While the move is a significant blow for Apple, which will now face fiercer competition for app downloads in the fast-growing Chinese market, it could provide a solution to the current impasse. Despite the issues, China Mobile revealed this week that it expects to be in a position to offer the iPhone in June 2012, after it has concluded testing of its 4G network.
Android could also feel the effects of increased competition with Mobile Market too. Although it is seeing increasing shipments in Asia, the Google-owned operating system has had difficulties in China, which included access issues to Android Market, its official app store, last month.
The vast majority of mobile application downloads in China come from unofficial app stores but there is no doubt that the increased reach of China Mobile’s app store is likely to bring more developers and applications to its platform, which could entice more users.
Although China Mobile doesn’t have a partnership with Apple, its 10 million iPhone owners have played a large part in helping Mobile Market grow into the world’s largest Chinese application store, with an impressive 138 million registered users and applications from more than 2.8 million developers.
