Google licensing changes could cap Android piracy
(Credit:
CNET)
While it's easy slinging arrows at Apple for its closed and tightly-controlled iPhone App Store, there's something to be said for its security.
Google's Android operating system has long faced more complicated concerns with its much freer application approval process, its openness to side-loaded apps (installing apps via APK files that you receive through some source other than the Android Market), plus having users root the platform to take control over certain internal system processes.
The "unauthorized" use of apps was a concern that application developers repeatedly brought to Google's attention, the company said in a blog post. Copying the app to the SD card and then demanding a refund is only one method of abuse, though developers have likely seen them every.
In this mobile climate, the platform with the most or most popular apps can highly influence user perceptions, if not outright sway a person's decision about which smartphone to buy. It's therefore in the best interests of both Google and the developers to provide a more surefire method for protecting paid Market content, to ensure that developers receive paid and want to continue supporting Android.
Enter Google's new licensing service, which Google hopes to phase in as a replacement for the current copy-protection scheme "over the next few months." The new mechanism runs in real-time, with a server receiving requests to verify that an app was legitimately purchased through the Android Market. (Developers can check out more of the technical specifics here.)
There are still outstanding questions that will either be addressed by Google, or by consumers' usage over time, like how the the verification process might hinder user flow (Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage comes to mind).
Joining the new copy-protection program is free for developers of paid applications running on Android 1.5 and up, though developers will have to use a tad more elbow grease in preparing their code. In addition, the new license server, which is operational now, won't be able to retroactively verify the premium apps already in the Android Market. It will, however, be able to weigh in on participating developers' apps going forward.

Are family tracking apps a good idea?
Family Tracker lets you keep tabs on iPhone-packing family members--or just your possess iPhone.
(Credit: LogSat Software LLC)Like iHound before it, Family Tracker was a fairly useless iPhone app until iOS 4 and multitasking came along. Now the app offers a fairly effective way for you to keep tabs on iPhone-carrying family members.
The question is, should you?
Family Tracker works much like the locator services carriers such as AT&T and Verizon have offered for years. In a nutshell, the app transmits GPS location data from the iPhone. Anyone you authorize can monitor the phone's location via a Web browser or another iPhone.
Shades of Big Brother, right? Yes and no. I can recall numerous times when my wife and kids were tardy coming home--and she wasn't answering her phone, usually because she couldn't hear it ringing. This resulted in a lot of extra worrying on my part.
If she'd had Family Tracker, I could have fired up my Web browser and seen that they were on their way home, not overturned in a ditch.
And what parent wouldn't relax easier knowing a bit more about the whereabouts of their kids? Especially kids who have to receive themselves home from school, who borrow the car, who are out tardy with friends, and so on.
But do apps like this represent an invasion of privacy? A few months back, I was running every over town to plan a surprise party for the missus. What if she'd been monitoring my location? At the very least she'd have been suspicious, and at worst it would have blown the surprise. Let's face it: sometimes you want to keep a low profile, even when family is involved.
This gray area is definitely open for debate, but one thing is certain: Family Tracker is an awesome deal. You pay only a one-time fee of $3.99 for the app.
Verizon's Family Locator service, in comparison, costs $9.99 per month, while AT&T's similar FamilyMap adds a whopping $14.99 to your monthly tab. (To be fair, both carriers' services offer a few features not found in Family Tracker, such as automated arrival and departure notifications from the "trackee.")
Another perk: Family Tracker pulls double duty as a lost-iPhone locator. That's because it works much like the aforementioned iHound, pinpointing your phone's location on a map. However, there are some battery-life concerns, so be sure to read the product description and user comments before buying in.
And let's hear your thoughts on the whole concept of apps like this. Are they a good idea? An invasion of privacy? A little of both?

Safari 5.0.1 update fixes black Mail backgrounds, autofill, and more
Apple has released an update to Safari 5, which addresses a number of issues with the initial release, including the problem with black backgrounds appearing when generating mail attachments with scripts, and the potential security vulnerability with autofill that was recently uncovered. In addition, the program has a built-in link to Apple's new extensions gallery for people to download and install extensions.
The update is a 47MB download and is available through Software Update or as a standalone installer from the following web page:
In addition to the black background bug (which Apple mentions again in this knowledgebase article), Apple has fixed the recent autofill bug that posed a security threat for websites that could automatically receive personal information from the user's address book, so if you have turned off autofill because of previous reports, you can turn it back on after applying the 5.0.1 update. Other security fixes in this update are listed in this security bulletin regarding the update.
In addition to the security fixes, Apple addressed compatibility issues with various websites including RollingStone.com, Facebook.com, and Crateandbarrel.com when using Safari Reader, Flash, and when performing other functions like printing.
The Extensions gallery is quite intuitive, and installing extensions is as easy as browsing for them and then clicking the "Install" button. Once clicked, the extension will appear in the Safari toolbar immediately and be ready for use. While extensions can easily be installed through the gallery, the only way to manage and remove them is through the Safari preferences section for the extensions.
A full list of the changes in this update are the following:
New Features:
Customize Safari with features created by third-party developers Find extensions in the Safari Extensions Gallery, accessible from the Safari menu and extensions.apple.com
Fixes:
More accurate Top Hit results in the Address Field
More accurate timing for CSS animations
Better stability when using the Safari Reader keyboard shortcut
Better stability when scrolling through MobileMe Mail
Fixes display of multipage articles from www.rollingstone.com in Safari Reader
Fixes an issue that prevented Google Wave and other websites using JavaScript encryption libraries from working correctly on 32-bit systems
Fixes an issue that prevented Safari from launching on Leopard systems with network home directories
Fixes an issue that could cause borders on YouTube thumbnails to disappear when hovering over the thumbnail image
Fixes an issue that could cause Flash content to overlap with other content on www.facebook.com, www.crateandbarrel.com, and other sites when using Flash 10.1
Fixes an issue that prevented boarding passes from www.aa.com from printing correctly
Fixes an issue that could cause DNS prefetching requests to overburden certain routers
Fixes an issue that could cause VoiceOver to misidentify elements of webpages
For detailed information on the security content of this update, please visit this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
Apple has also released Safari 4.1.1 for Tiger users, which fixes similar problems and can be downloaded via Software Update or from this web page.

Apple releases Safari Extensions Gallery
Apple on Wednesday updated its Safari Web browser, turning on extensions and introducing the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Safari 5 was introduced in June, but the extension functionality was designed for developers, not the general public. This gave developers a chance to create extensions for the browser before Apple officially launched the feature.
Extensions are created using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3, a few of Apple's favorite technologies for building Web apps.
The Safari Extensions Gallery in Safari 5.0.1 is a repository in which users can quickly find and add extensions to the Safari browser. According to Apple, users can "add powerful new features to Safari, from toolbars that display live web feeds to sophisticated programs that filter web content."
Apple says that every Safari Extensions are sandboxed, which means they can't access information on a user's system or communicate with other unintended Web sites.
The Safari Extensions Gallery has extensions from Amazon, Bing, MLB.com, The New York Times, and Twitter, among others.
Safari 5.0.1 is available as a free download from Apple's Web site.

Muzix brings queuing to iPhone and iPod Touch
Muzix is a music jukebox application for the iPhone and the iPod Touch that is centered around on-the-go playback queue creation, a feature not offered by the onboard player. The free app offers a reasonable amount of functionality and a fun way to interact with your music, but the interface isn't the most intuitive we've arrive across. Still, for those who loathe iTunes but adore making playlists, Muzix is worth checking out.
Before you receive started with Muzix, you should know that the experience is more visually thrilling if every of your music has album art attached. The track listing pages, which are organized in alphabetical order, are tiny tiles represented by album art. Depending on how much music you elect to add from your library (an action done directly on the device), you may have an overwhelming number of pages. every songs are listed individually as opposed to by album or artist. On the one hand, this makes sense with Muzix's focus as an on-the-fly queue creator. However, flipping through a ton of pages can become tiresome, so it would be nice to look the app streamlined in a future release.
The other issue we had with the interface is that it's not immediately intuitive, and the function buttons on the playback page aren't terribly clear. That said, adding songs to the now playing queue is as simple as clicking a tune icon. In addition to play/pause and track shuttle soft keys, the playback screen features a variety of buttons on the top, including one for deleting tracks from the list and one for turning on repeat. The others are harder to explain because of the aforementioned clarity issue. For example, one icon is a head and shoulders outline, which flips the page to full-screen album art--that doesn't make a ton of sense to us.
Although Muzix could use some improvement to the interface, it performs well, and it adds a useful feature to the iPhone for those who want to create playlists on-the-fly. As long as it remains free for now, it's worth a look.

Safari still crashing after update?
A number of people have complained about Safari often crashing on their systems. While the latest update to Safari is supposed to address some stability issues with the program, even with the latest version 5.0.1 update a number of people are complaining of crashes. Here are some things you can try to hopefully clear these problems.
General Maintenance
There are some general maintenance routines you can run both on Safari and on the system to help clear problems. In Safari, try clearing cookies and caches, among other items in the "Reset Safari" option in the Safari menu. You can also run General Maintenance on your system to clear user account and system caches that could be contributing to the problem.
Flash
Since installing Safari 5 I have had numerous crashes that were flash-related. You can look this when Flash and Adobe are referenced among the functions being run in the crashed thread in the accident report.
Try removing Flash from the /Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder to look if that helps, and then if you need Flash you can install the latest version from Adobe's website.
You may also benefit from using a flash-blocking utility like Click2Flash, which will disable flash components of web pages unless you specifically enable them.
In addition to flash, if you have other plug-ins that you've installed, you might try uninstalling or updating them. Be sure they have been tested with your version of Safari before ruling them out as a cause for the crashes, and also be sure to manually troubleshoot them (remove them one-by-one and relaunch and test Safari each time you do this).
Input Managers
Third-party input managers (ie, Saft, Inquisitor, PithHelmet, SafariStand, etc.) can also cause crashes in Safari, so try either updating them or removing them from the system. They should be located in one of the following folders, but use an uninstaller if available.
/username/Library/Input Managers
/Macintosh HD/Library/Input Managers
/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support
A commonly used input manager is SIMBL, which may load numerous plugins that may also be contributing to the crashes, so be sure to test them as well. We recently wrote an article on managing SIMBL with Safari 5.0.
Clear preferences
In addition to using Safari's "Reset" feature, you may be having problems with corruption in Safari's preferences file itself that can be contributing to crashes. Locate the file "com.apple.Safari.plist" in the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder and remove it, then relaunch Safari and the file should be remade (Keep in mind custom settings in Safari's preferences will be reverted to default after doing this).

Tabs get tweaked in Firefox 4 beta 2
App Tabs let users pin frequently visited sites to the left side of the tab bar.
(Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)Mozilla's second Firefox 4 beta debuted on Tuesday, with interface and feature improvements for Windows and Mac users, and below-the-hood changes that include faster browser launch times. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, Firefox 4 beta 2 doesn't make any radical visual changes to the browser, but it does introduce a couple of new features and support for new developer tools.
The only interface change made this time around was to give Mac users the tabs on top look by default. Windows users received that feature in the first beta. This can still be reverted below Preferences. Linux users have yet to receive tabs on top by default.
One of the big features that some users have been anticipating in Firefox 4 is App Tabs, analogous to Google Chrome's Pin Tab feature. It reduces a tab to its favicon, and then anchors it permanently on the left side of the tab bar. This can make it easier to find regularly frequented sites, such as Web mail or a calendar. To create an App Tab, right-click on a tab and pick, "Make into an App Tab." One of the principal designers on Firefox, Alex Faaborg, has created a video that details how to use the App Tabs. He also notes that App Tabs will receive some nice of special treatment in the upcoming Tab Candy feature.
How Firefox 4 functions and handles the code that powers the Web has changed slightly, too. The biggest change, made to the XPCOM registration, has the potential to break a lot of components that interact with Firefox. While that could result in a lot of headaches over the close future, users should look faster Firefox start-up times in the long run.
Meanwhile, part of the CSS3 Transformations, called Transitions, are now supported in Firefox 4. This means that developers will be able to build content that animates instead of effecting an immediate change. Curious readers can check out the yellow box demo on the Mozilla Hacks blog. Support for retained layers also shipped in the second beta, which allows for faster page scrolling.
Mozilla also noted that user comments sent via the "feedback" button on the right-hand side of the navigation bar helped the publisher fix more than 670 issues in the first beta. Future betas promise to include new features such as the aforementioned Tab Candy and the redesigned add-on framework, currently code-named JetPack, but also to resolve unsettled debates such as whether to remove the Status Bar and the struggle to improve the browser's overall site-rendering speed.

Free iPad sports app a must-have for sports junkies
If you have even a passing interest in sports (or just want to show off your iPad), receive TheScore.
(Credit: Screenshot by Rick Broida)When I look an app like TheScore for iPad, it forces me to think in big-picture terms, as in: this is how sports news was meant to be consumed. Not in some day-old newspaper or tiny iPhone app, but on a big, beautiful screen jam-packed with scores, standings, videos, and blogs.
In other words, I'm really digging TheScore--and I'm not even that into sports. (It says clearly on my Tech Nerds of America membership card that sports are permissible only as a "passing interest" or for "social interaction research.")
Actually, I do consume a lot of college basketball, which is just one of the dozen-plus major categories covered by the app. Others include MLB, football (both American and Canadian), basketball, hockey, and numerous soccer leagues I've never heard of.
Within any selected section, you can scroll through related Top Stories, Buzz, Videos, and Blogs, or check out the latest scores and standings.
The latest baseball scores appear in a scrollable ticker across the top, followed by a search option for looking up players or teams. Search for Detroit Tigers, for example, and you'll receive team headlines, current standing, game schedule, and a list of team leaders (any of which you can tap for a pop-up summary).
TheScore also serves up half a dozen video channels (including "The Basketball Jones" and "The Break") and an equal number of blogs ("Hockey or Die" and "Branded" among them).
In short, there's an endless amount of good stuff here for sports fans--and you just can't beat the price: TheScore is free. (Ad-free, too.)

Lightroom plug-in helps avoid overlarge JPEGs
Jeffrey Friedl created a tool to optimize JPEG photo quality in Lightroom and has incorporated the results into his Lightroom photo export software.
(Credit: Jeffrey Friedl / screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET)It's a fair question for photography enthusiasts uploading their latest shots to the Web or backing up an archive: where do you set the JPEG quality slider?
Sure, a higher setting means more quality but bigger files, but beyond that vagueness, it's a question without easy answers. Happily, at least for those using Adobe Systems' Lightroom software for photo editing and cataloging, there's an answer coming.
That's because Lightroom plug-in programmer Jeffrey Friedl is adding some quality automation tools to his image export software. Earlier this month he posted an analysis of Lightroom's JPEG photo quality that among other things showed Lightroom's 0-to-100 slider actually only has 13 settings.
More to the point, Friedl analyzed where the sweet spot is for JPEG compression in Lightroom below a variety of circumstances. And now he's building a bit of the knowledge gleaned from that exercise into some of his plug-ins.
"Added a warning that blocks export when the JPEG quality is set needlessly high," Friedl said on the update log for his Flickr export plug-in for Lightroom earlier this month. He's had to fiddle with it a bit to iron out problems, but overall, it's a useful idea to keep on upload times and storage requirements if you're making JPEG backups for your raw photos. The new feature doesn't perform an analysis, but cautions about use of the highest quality setting.
He's also added the feature into his export plug-ins for Picasa, SmugMug, Zenfolio, Facebook, Photobucket, and Kodak Gallery.
I use two of Friedl's plug-ins, the Flickr exporter and one for geotagging photos. His tools can be pretty technical, as one might expect from the author of a book on regular expressions, but the options are often very useful for me. For example, tagging my photos with specific keywords can ensure their location is visible only to family members, and I like how I can automatically add EXIF information such as exposure time, ISO, and lens focal length into the photo caption. The profusion of options in the user interface can, however, be daunting.
The Flickr plug-in got a significant upgrade for Lightroom 3, integrating with the publishing system that essentially keeps a live link between the photos in Lightroom and those you've uploaded to Flickr. For example, when you add new keywords or crop a photo after you've uploaded it, the publishing service notices and can replace the old version.
Friedl's plug-ins are a constant work in progress, with no separation between slow-changing production versions and the newest tweak. That can cause occasional hiccups--perhaps why I'm unable to use Google Earth to manually geotag photos with a static location at gift--but he usually irons the problems out promptly.
The plug-ins are free, but below the donationware model, he'll accept gifts via PayPal. To register the plug-in, which grants unlimited use after a six-week trial period, you must donate at least 1 cent. I for one have been glad to help fund Friedl's somewhat accidental new career.
Updated 11:08 p.m. PDT to clarify the donationware mechanism and how the JPEG quality alert works.

Open Question: Does anyone know how to contact Twitter about how bad their support is? A direct email address perhaps?
I've spent about 4 months trying to regain access to my twitter account. Just trying to find how to contact support at Twitter is an exersise in futility, as the contact link at the bottom of their page just keeps taking you back to a FAQ page. Once you finally do figure out how to put a support ticket it, you receive an email back saying try resetting your password and telling you not to answer to the email as the ticket is closed. When you can't reset your password and send another ticket in, you receive an email back saying to try logging into your account or something just a stupid. oh, yeah, and that email says not to answer back as the ticket has been closed. After like 3 months of this horseplay, I finally figured out how to contact twitter support directly, then started on their merry go round, asking me to tell them the date that I most recently logged in (like who remembers that?), then what was the last DM I sent (right, can't log in to look, remember...?) then telling me the email associated with the account wasn't changed "recently" (what the hell is "recently" when you haven't been able to access your account in like 4 months....?) Anyway, I'd like to seriously contact someone at twitter and find out if they have any idea how bad their customer support is, and if anyone at Twitter might be concerned enough to do something about it. If someone has some good contact info for someone at Twitter who you think might be interested in looking into this, I'd appreciate it if you could share the info with me. ...and please, don't tell me it's "only twitter" or "just open a new account". I've got nearly 9,000 followers I've taken the time to cultivate and don't care to lose... If you're one of those people still trying to figure out how to contact twitter support to start with, go here and submit a ticket - http://twitter.com/help/escalate don't tell me to give up just because you couldn't figure it out. If you weren't smart enough to figure that out, you're certainly not going to be able to answer my question...

Open Question: Sims 2 family wont load. deleted needed cc?
Ok so I consider myself pretty sim savy by now, but im having a big and extremely frustrating problem. So a few nights ago I downloaded some cc as usual. But then i decided to go through sims Clean Installer and do a little clear out of things i dont use or need anymore so I can clear up some space, my downloads folder is packed. So i remember deleting mostly eye colors but I specifically remember deleting a mod or hack. I dont remember which one it was though. Anyway I load up my game and its slower than usual, then I go to play a family and it wont load. I receive every the bars then they clear and the hour glass spins forever. So I go back, delete every the cc I got that night and try again, still nothing. I do a little googling and read that deleing the group cache file can help. So I did it, but it was just a sick tease. I restart my game and it loaded really quick, got to my neighborhood that also loaded quick, clicked on my family and.... Nothing.. Now im scared that I may have deleted something really important in the game? But if it was downloaded it couldnt be that important right? Honestly I spend so much time downloading cc, creating houses and families, playing the game. If i cant figure this out I think I'll have to retire. Its causing me alot of stress to know that possibly Id have to delete every the cc and start over. I couldnt do it. I had to do it once when my old laptop crashed and I lost everything. I posted on the forum for mod the sims 2 and got no help, every i got was "read the help faq but its probably because you deleted content the sims were using." Ok, so how do i fix that? The help faq is long and complicated as hell.

Voting Question: How do I know if I'm still blocked from commenting on Facebook without sending another message?
Okay, so I was happily posting away on a fan page I'd liked, until suddenly I receive a message telling me I've been blocked from posting because I'm irritating or abusing others. No 'slow down' warning, just a straightforward block. In a rage, I looked this up on the internet and it turns out it's Facebook's lazy way of avoiding checking the comments posted and just assuming that everyone with a quick computer is spamming. I've received a comment block, so I can still add friends, post on walls and answer to friends' comments, but I can't answer to public wall posts like on the fan page I was posting on before I received the block. Because I was chatting to the creator of the fan page, I can't use Facebook Chat in this situation. What I want to know is, how am I supposed to know if my block is lifted without posting another message? The FAQ says that trying to post again can extend the block, and obviously I've had no choice but to post again and again to check if the block has been lifted! How much longer do I have to wait for the block to expire per failed attempt to comment? I know it says it can last from a few hours to a few days, but ideally how long does it last from your experience? My account couldn't be disabled over this, could it? I did post a lot of messages, but they were every perfectly relevant to the conversation and were in no way spam messages. But I suppose Facebook's admins are too lazy to care.

Voting Question: Are the steroids for sale online REAL steroids?
I know that steroids without a perscription are illegal in the US, but there appears to be many sites that offer to sell steroids online. When you go to the FAQ and the question is legality, it simply says that it is the buyers' responsibility to know if steroids are legal in their country. Clearly these people know that steroids are illegal in the US, but they are covering their butts by saying that. But is this legit? The site I'm looking at right now is steroids-pharmacy.com and they accept credit cards and have a long history blah blah blah it looks very legit. Am I missing something here and this is a scam? Or is this just the real deal and the buyer would just be taking the legal chance?

Voting Question: Really confused about using American Express and Visa giftcards online.?
I have a $100 Visa giftcard and a $50 Amex giftcard. I want to use them ONLINE at Sephora, MAC, Free People, Urban Outfitters...haven't really decided which one lol. I'm not going to use both giftcards in a single transaction. Ok so how do I buy online with these giftcards? Visa giftcard is still in the package. the PACKAGE says it's issued by Metabank but it also says 'go to giftcardmall.com/idealgift to take advantage of special offers. The CARD says "for cardholder services and balance inquiries go to giftcardmall.com or call this number." The Amex has been in my wallet since Xmas and is out of the package. I don't even remember what the package looked like. The fine print on the card says it was issued by Amex and to check balance inquiries go to americanexpress.com/giftcard or call. I know there are a zillion questions like this here (I've read them!) especially on Visa giftcards but I'm still confused. For example I read the Visa's FAQ and now I don't know whether to contact Metabank or giftcardmall.com. I also read an answer on Amex gift cards about having to manually keep track of your balance? Checking my balance is NOT the issue because I don't even know how to USE these giftcards! If I knew how to use them in the first place I wouldn't even be asking here. Is there ANYTHING I have to do with the cards PRIOR to using them online??

Resolved Question: Why we muslims are diveded?
The Glorious Qur’an says: "And hold quick, every together, by the rope Which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves;" [Al-Qur’an 3:103] "As for those who divide Their religion and break up Into sects, thou hast No part in them in the least: Their affair is with Allah: He will in the end Tell them the truth Of every that they did." [Al-Qur’an 6:159] 22: 78. And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and below discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficultieson you in religion; it is the cult of your dad Abraham. It is He Who hasnamed you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messengermay be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establishregular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold quick to Allah! He is yourProtector - the Best to protect and the Best to help! Reading these words we clealy understand that those people who divide them self , our Prophet Muhmmad Sallalahualiwasalam has nothing realtinoship with them , and also its clearly mentioned that Allah has named us Muslim. So why why we muslim are dividing our selfves as sunni,shia etc and why even some of our scholars also called themself from these names rather only muslim . If you are not serious , please dono comment on this. http://www.islam-faq.blogspot.com
