Google+ rolls out 'Hangouts On Air' worldwide

Google on Monday began letting members of its social network worldwide broadcast "hangouts" live to Internet titan's growing online community.

Hangouts On Air were introduced last year at Google+ with select high-profile members testing the service that lets as many as ten people at a time take part in virtual roundtable style video chats broadcast for anyone to see.

"This small community has grown the feature in lots of creative ways," said Google+ engineering director Chee Chew.

"And they've made one thing crystal clear: when groups of passionate individuals can broadcast live, together, they results are truly remarkable.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moo, the US president, musician Will.i.am, Desmond Tutu and even the Dalai Lama have taken part in "On Air" hangouts in which intimate online gatherings can be openly viewed at the social network.

"Today we're excited to launch Hangouts On Air to Google+ users worldwide," Chew said.

"So if you have something to say-as an aspiring artist, a global celebrity, or a concerned citizen-you can now go live in front of a global audience."

The "On Air" option for Google+ hangouts is being rolled out gradually because "launching millions of live stations takes some doing."

The unique Hangouts feature has been a huge draw at the online community.

Hangouts can be limited to invited friends or opened to anyone.

"We think looking somebody in the eye and communicating in the normal social way we've learned to do over millennia is important," Google+ vice president Bradley Horowitz told AFP in a recent interview.

"We wanted to bring that authenticity back into the equation."

Hangouts have surprised the Google+ team. They have been used for language and music lessons. A stutterers' support group uses them for group meetings, and let bedridden people virtually explore the world.

Samsung unveils Galaxy S III to challenge iPhone

By:David Sarno

Los Angeles Times

Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest hand-held weapon in its war against Apple — a smartphone dubbed Galaxy S III that is lighter and thinner than the iPhone despite having a screen nearly twice as large.

The S III, with voice command, will go on sale in Europe at the end of this month and in the United States and other countries this summer. The company did not offer pricing information or disclose which U.S. carriers would offer the phone, which will run on 4G wireless networks.

Samsung is hoping the new phone will help it leapfrog Apple. During the first quarter of this year, Apple accounted for 29 percent of U.S. smartphones sold, while Samsung was close behind at 24 percent, according to figures released this week by NPD Group, a market research firm. Some analysts believe that Samsung sold more devices than Apple around the world from January to March.

Smartphone observers have attributed Samsung’s success to the growing prepaid-phone market, in which consumers can buy lower-cost handsets without a contract, paying for a limited period of service in advance. Samsung accounted for 4 in 10 prepaid smartphones sold in the U.S. during the first quarter.

For its new phone, Samsung took a page from Apple’s voice-controlled phone helper, Siri, saying the S III “has the enhanced intelligence to make everyday life easier,” including a front-facing camera that will signal the phone to keep its screen bright if it detects that the user is reading or browsing the Internet.

The “S-Voice” feature, like Siri, allows users to dictate emails and text messages, issue voice commands to play songs, and even tell the alarm to “snooze.”

The features will be powered by a souped-up internal computer with four internal processors, called a quad core; most other smartphones including the iPhone still have only two cores. The phone will have an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, and will run the latest version of Google’s Android mobile operating system, known as Ice Cream Sandwich.

Twitter passwords bared online

Twitter recommended users change their passwords/FILE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9 – Twitter on Tuesday said that it was trying to figure out how user names and passwords from thousands of accounts apparently wound up posted at an online file sharing website.

Information posted on Pastebin.com pages appeared to be from about 35,000 Twitter accounts, not counting about 20,000 that seemed to be redundancies, according to a message “tweeted” by the San Francisco firm.

“We’re looking into the situation and have pushed out password resets to potentially affected accounts,” Twitter said.

Twitter, which rocketed to popularity by letting people fire off short text messages to limitless numbers of people using smartphones, recommended users change their passwords.

The list at Pastebin included spam accounts and incorrect login credentials, according to Twitter.

The evident data breach came as Twitter challenged a court order to turn over to law enforcement data on one of its users involved in Occupy Wall Street.

The motion filed Monday in a New York state court said the order would require Twitter to violate federal law and denies the user the ownership rights to his Twitter messages.

The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday applauded Twitter’s action, saying the company was standing up for free speech.
