SugarSync adds mobile device management, lets you push digital delights directly to iOS (video)
Apple's iOS is great at displaying content already on a device, but transferring documents from your computer to your iPhone or iPad has traditionally been a tedious, inefficient process. SugarSync's new mobile device management sets out to help change that, allowing you to push files directly to your smartphone or tablet using a simple web interface. After selecting a connected device from the sidebar, you can click to upload content, booting it directly to your handheld. A push notification will appear, prompting you to download any or all of the files you uploaded, which will also remain in the cloud -- so you'll be able

Tip: 50% of iPhone users never back up to iTunes
Apple might have had incentive from its own iPhone users' backup habits to develop iCloud, a new tip from the company's retail stores suggests. About half of all those who get their phones replaced reportedly don't physically link to iTunes beyond the initial iTunes activation, which they might not have even done themselves if they bought at a store. Store Geniuses talking to David Chartier were eager for iCloud since it meant they no longer had to tell customers that they'd lost months or years of valuable data.

Apple Store employee moves to create a union
The employee who formed the Apple Retail Workers Union in May has revealed himself to be Cory Moll, a part-time employee at a San Francisco Apple store. Moll told Reuters that he decided to go public with his union stance in order to encourage other like-minded employees to come forward.
In order to unionize, a majority of workers need to support the idea before a union can be formed. Moll says there's currently less than 50% interest in most of Apple's stores, "but as people talk about it, we could get close in a couple of stores."

Munster noted that Apple was likely to near the 2011 street target of 22 percent since last June saw it grow just 11 percent, making a higher year-to-year gain relatively easy.

NEC makes content addressable memory to take data deposits sans power, RAM green with envy
Wouldn't it be great if system memory was super speedy like RAM and non-volatile like flash? Well, NEC and Tohoku University's new content addressable memory (CAM) has accomplished the trick -- it promises five-nanosecond retrieval speeds equal to sticks of DDR3 1600 and can store data even when the power's off. Spintronics logic is what makes the magic happen by setting the spin direction of electrons and using their interaction with magnetic forces to store bits of data. Those spinning attributes are then kept on the circuit even when there's no electricity flowing. The catch? This new CAM big -- 90nm compared to the

Almost half of iOS developers surveyed also code for Android
Slightly less than half of iOS developers surveyed at WWDC also write applications for Android, a little over a third also code for BlackBerry devices and 36% focus only on iOS. These figures and more come from a Piper Jaffray survey of 45 iOS developers at WWDC.
Besides platform preferences, the survey also reveals the following:
100% of developers write apps for the iPhone and 93% write for the iPad
only 7% of developers code for the Mac
100% believe that iOS is the best platform for monetization
100% believe iOS is the easiest platform for development

Filed under: Haushaltstechnik
Die britische Webseite Just Eat, die sonst Essensbestellungen für umliegende Restaurants und die dazugehörige Lieferung managt, kam auf die dufte Idee, eine Art Schweizer Taschenmesser für Fastfood-Junkies zu erfinden. Das Ganze nennt sich Eatensil und hat Stäbchen, Pizzaschneider, Messer, Gabel, Löffel, Flaschenöffner und sogar die hölzerne Pommesgabel parat. Noch will Just Eat warten, wie das Feedback der ersten Geräte ist, um dann mit der Massenproduktion zu beginnen. Also die Kernfrage: Braucht man so ein Werkzeug?

It's fun stuff, especially if you're not too concerned about realism.

Scientists have just created living laser light out of a human cell and some jellyfish protein, but it's not quite as terrifying as it sounds.

After genetically engineering a human kidney cell to express this protein, Gather and Yun wedged it between two mirrors in an inch-long cylinder, filled with a GFP solution.

Independent UK games developer Codemasters, responsible for titles like Dirt 3 and Overlord, has reported that its website was hacked on the third of June, exposing the names, addresses (both physical and email), birthdays, phone numbers, Xbox gamer tags, biographies, and passwords of its registered users. Payment information wasn't compromised, but when you consider that almost everything else was, that feels like hollow consolation. For its part, Codemasters says it took the website offline as soon

iCloud beendet iWeb-Hosting
Mit einem knappen “Yep” soll Steve Jobs persönlich die E-Mail eines besorgten MobileMe-Users beantwortet haben. Dieser wunderte sich, weshalb Apple bei der Vorstellung von iCloud mit keinem Wort die Zusammenarbeit mit iWeb und das integrierte Webseiten-Hosting erwähnte – und fragte kurzum direkt beim Chef nach.

HTC portiert Sense 3.0 für ältere Smartphones
Filed under: Android
HTC hat auf Facebook durchblicken lassen, dass so viele ältere Smartphones wie möglich mit den neuen Features der hauseigenen Sense-Oberfläche ausgestattet werden sollen. Die ursprünglich Ansage des Konzerns war, dass aufgrund der 3D-Animationen eine Portierung nicht möglich wäre, da die Hardware dafür nicht ausgelegt sei. Jetzt rudert man zurück, die Gewinne werden offenbar sinnvoll eingesetzt. Alle Features auf allen Geräten? Nein, aber ein Großte

Sonic.net starts trial of 1Gbps fiber-to-the-home internet in California, asks just $70
You'll be forgiven for not being intimately familiar with Californian ISP Sonic.net, though we get the feeling you'll also wish it operated a little closer to your abode by the time you're finished reading this. You see, Sonic has always dabbled in the business of high-speed, low-price internet connectivity, and now it's going for the jugular with a new fiber-to-the-home service, which costs just $69.95 a month, reaches speeds up to 1Gbps, and bundles in two phone lines and unlimited long distance calling.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 official: 12.1 MP, 1080i video, no hot shoe in sight (hands-on)

Turns out, the camera we spied in that YouTube video was legit: the company just made it official and yes, it's missing a hot shoe. Available in four colors with 12.1 megapixel resolution, it uses Panny's latest imaging processor, shoots 1080i AVCHD video, and has a 3-inch touchscreen, ISO range of 160 to 6400, and the usual array of intelligent Auto enhancements.

Thankfully, Verizon has now released an update that'll bring the device back in time for some hassle-free hotspot action, so that TARDIS of yours can be stowed away for now. Also added in the package is a whole stash of enhancements here and there, including boosted battery life during voice calls, better browser performance, new email folder structure, improved GPS performance

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a growing robot -- it's also an easy and relatively quick way to lull a group of scientists into a false sense of security. Now, we're not saying that James and Rosie here had an ulterior motive when they put together a breakfast of Bavarian sausage and baguettes for a group of researchers at Munich's CoTeSys lab -- as far as robotic couples go, they seem very nice. James, a US-designed PR2 robot, sliced the bread, while German-designed Rosie boiled up some sausages, as some hungry roboticists looked on patiently.

Rumor: Steve Jobs says iWeb and MobileMe hosting are going away
Those of us with a vested interest in iWeb have been perplexed by the lack of interest shown by Apple in the former iLife web design app. Couple this with the pending demise of MobileMe on June 30, 2012, and that confusion turns into concern. MacRumors featured a post a few hours ago about an iWeb/MobileMe fan who was so concerned about the lack of iWeb love coming from Apple that the user sent Steve Jobs an email.
In the email the iWeb user asked, "Will I need to find an alternative website builder and someone to host my sites?" The alleged response from the CEO of Apple: "Yep."
iWeb's discontinuation wouldn't be completely surprising. When iLife '11 debuted late

Marco Tempest's magic show uses iPods to deceive and delight
Marco Tempest calls himself a "technoillusionist" -- he combines magic tricks with the technological artistry (and occasionally the black-turtlenecked panache) of Steve Jobs. We last saw him hacking through an augmented reality illusion; this time he's using three iPods to enable his trickery, as he offers a video essay on deception, lies, and magic. It's sort of like his take on F For Fake, with more touchscreens: see him call out liars, declare himself an honest magician, and lift a smiley face out of the display and into real life, all in the video above.

Switched On: Apple's cloud conundrum
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.
It is hard to believe that Apple has been trying its hand at the Internet services space since the year 2000, when it launched iTools. Like nearly all of iCloud, with which it shares its trademark vowel prefix, iTools was free. Unlike iCloud, though, its collection of services were all over the map, ranging from Web page creation to greeting cards.
iCloud marks the third reboot of Apple's Web services suite since that foray. In the intervening years, we've seen .Mac (essentially a subscription version of most iTools features), and MobileMe, which paved the
