18.04.2008Apple alters world map to show better iPhone 3G availability
Those who paid attention to Apple's recent press event may have noticed something a bit dodgy about the world map portraying the availability of

didn't show up on the world map. The news comes from The Inquirer, or specifically, a reader of the website named Baldvin Mar Smárason. He
said, "Apple removed two countries from the world map in iPhone 3.0 promo.

07.11.2006MapCruncher Beta for Microsoft Virtual Earth
MapCruncher Beta for Microsoft Virtual Earth makes it easy to publish maps overlaid in an application using the Virtual Earth map control. Once you
are familiar with the tool, it will take you about ten minutes to generate a new tile layer.
Just find 5 to 10 corresponding
landmarks on your map and on the Virtual Earth map view, and MapCruncher will register your map to the global coordinate system, warp it to fit a
Mercator projection, and generate a set of image tiles that can be seamlessly layered on top of Virtual Earth map control's standard road, hybrid, or
aerial imagery. It even makes a sample HTML page for reference.
MapCruncher accepts a variety of vector formats (PDF, WMF, EMF)
and raster formats (JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, BMP).

16.10.2007Windows Embedded road map may bypass Vista
The planned successor to the embedded version of Windows XP, due from Microsoft Corp. two years from now, may bypass Windows Vista and instead be
based on the oft-maligned operating system's own successor, which is codenamed Windows 7.
Microsoft had indicated last fall that
the replacement for Windows XP Embedded would use Vista as its core operating system. But in an interview last week, Ilya Bukshteyn, director of
marketing for the Windows Embedded product line, said there is a good chance that the next embedded OS codenamed Quebec will instead be engineered
around Windows 7.
"To date, we are certainly working with Vista," Bukshteyn said. But, he added, "if there is an opportunity
to get newer technologies in faster, and the customers want it, we may skip Vista."

15.04.2008FedEx Integrates Virtual Earth
Federal Express has launched their new
drop box locater service using
Virtual Earth. Search for the nearest drop boxes and you'll get a resulting list of locations. Near the top of the result list is a "View Area Map"
link which opens up a div containing a Virtual Earth map plotting each of the drop box locations and a legend. You can also check or uncheck different
types of results such as "FedEx Staffed," "Self-Service," and "FedEx Authorized Ship Center." You can then update the results for the list and
the map. Each location on the map contains a popup with the location name and address.
From the list of results you can also link off to a
page with a map and driving directions. Pretty nice looking locator. I'll be expecting more robust functionality such as finding locations along a
route or drag and refresh maps; and/or, detailed information in the popups such as hours of operation and a click to call phone number. All in time, I
suppose.

product is linked to a

Sarah Perez: Now this is a cool mashup and its built right into Virtual Earth! In

noticed that some articles have coordinates in the upper-right hand side of the page that locate that place on a map. (See this
example). Clicking on the coordinates from the Wikipedia entry will take you to you a map.
But if you want to go the other way - from a map to Wikipedia - then you've got to check out what the
Virtual Earth team has done. They've been indexing all these
links in their Spatial Search and Explore indexes so you can surf the maps with Wikipedia displaying in the sidebar. If you want to try it out for
yourself, turn on Live Map's Explore feature and then select the Wikipedia Tag, or just click

08.05.2008Electricity grid in the US infiltrated by spies
If you love your gadgets and most of us do then this is a scary development for every owner of a device that requires a power source. According to
the Wall Street Journal the Electicity Grid in the United States has been penetrated by Chinese and Russian spies. The spies left behind software
programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials. "The Chinese have attempted to map
our infrastructure, such as the electrical grid," said a senior intelligence official. "So have the Russians." Both the Russian and Chinese
governments have denied any wrongdoing but US investigators have followed electronic trails of stolen data to China and Russia.

08.04.2009Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Fall Content Preview
The latest Free
Booster Pack for Tripwire
Interactive's RO Ostfront
contains a number of new
features included a new map
and two new vehicles. Tripwire
previously hinted that the new
map would be a remake of from
the original mod and we can
now reveal that map is Danzig.
This was justifiably a huge
favorite in the mod days,
providing intense,
close-quarters infantry combat
in the battered city of Danzig
at the end of the war. Not
just a straight port, Danzig
has been rebuilt from the
ground up with improved
gameplay and greatly enhanced
visuals. Take a look at the
pictures: this will be the
most graphically detailed map
to date!
The
first new vehicle is the
Panzer IV H - a vehicle much
requested by the community.
This gives the Germans the
most effective version of
their medium tank for the war.
Upgunned and uparmored, this
Panzer IV is better equipped
to slug it out with the T-34s
it will meet on the
battlefield. It also comes
equipped with schürzen -
additional side armor plates
to deflect panzerfaust and
anti-tank rifle rounds.

27.10.2006AT&T to Verizon, "there's a lawsuit for that"
AT&T is now suing Verizon Wireless over their recent commercial about their "spotty" 3G coverage. The commercial takes a jab at AT&T and
Apple's iPhone in the commercial, changing the popular iPhone catch phrase, "there's an app for that" to "there's a map for that",
pointing out AT&T's 3G coverage. AT&T's lawsuit against Verizon Wireless claims the latest advertising campaign falsely suggests AT&T
customers have coverage gaps. AT&T thinks that Verizon is trying to fool consumers into thinking they can not use their mobile phone outside of
AT&T's 3G coverage area, while the map does not show AT&T's massive 2G coverage.
