Hasta La Gadget!

Can’t say that Patrick Lo is a name that immediately rang any bells around here. He’s certainly not as recognizable as Netgear, the company that he chairs and rules supreme. But boy did he hit our radar screens this morning. Lo had plenty of criticism to spread around the Microsoft and Apple camps today during a press lunch in Sydney. Oh where to even begin? Let’s start with Microsoft, and Lo’s claim that, “Microsoft is over — game over, from my point of view,” when comparing Windows Phone 7’s chance to compete with Android and the iPhone. Doubtful, not with Redmond’s Windows 7 and MS Office cash cows fueling Microsoft’s intense desire to execute on its new mobile strategy.

Lo then turned his sights on Apple, having this to say on the topic of Steve Jobs’ refusal to support Adobe Flash on Apple’s mobile devices: “What’s the reason for him to trash Flash? There’s no reason other than ego.” Funny, we thought it was due to performance, security, and power consumption issues. Lo later added, “Once Steve Jobs goes away, which is probably not far away, then Apple will have to make a strategic decision on whether to open up the platform.” Classy. Hit the source link below if you’re just dying to hear how “closed” systems are inferior to “open” systems all over again.

LG’s promotional strategy for the G-Slate seems to be to keep officially mum about the device, while letting random pseudo-celebrities tease it out in brief glimpses. A week ago, K-Pop artist Seungri gave us our first sighting of the dual-camera array on the back of the G-Slate, which has today made its triumphant return to YouTube, courtesy of one MysteryGuitarMan. The rear of the device here doesn’t look identical to the one in Seungri’s video, however the metallic strip separating the cams and its “with Google” branding look nearly identical to what LG has on the back of its Optimus 2X Android smartphone. We’re also seeing a single LED flash for the first time, there are a couple of unidentified connectors at the bottom, at least one of them likely to assist docking in landscape mode, and we do get to see the tablet in profile for an idea of how thin it is. Video after the break.

While Google may be ranked as the number one place to work in the United States, it doesn’t mean they’re perfect in all ways — in this case, ethics.  Google has found themselves dealing with a pretty big ethics issue after they “borrowed” or stole part of an application from a rival company called Sohu.com and got caught.

The software in question is a tool that will predict what Chinese characters a user will need, based upon Chinese words and names that are matched with their Pinyin equivalents. I’m sure some of you are like me and don’t know what Pinyin equivalents are.  According to the dictionary, it’s a system for transliterating Chinese into the Latin Alphabet. It literally means “join sounds.”

Both Google’s application, “Pinyin Input Method Editor” and Sohu’s Pinyin IME had many similarities that users noticed, which led to further investigation.  Because these applications contain a dictionary with Chinese words and names, The Sohu engineers who created the application had entered their names into the dictionary to make it easier.

When the names of Sohu’s engineers also appeared in Google’s dictionary, they knew something wasn’t right.  Google has since apologized and stopped using Sohu’s dictionary.  Sohu is also asking for monetary compensation for this, otherwise Google will face a possible lawsuit.  I don’t blame them one bit, and I hope Google doesn’t hesitate to compensate them. Apparently the Google Engineers on this project missed the lesson in school about not cheating.

San Francisco’s world-famous Golden Gate Bridge looks much like this right now, but come September 2012 the last of those yellow “cash” signs are scheduled to wink out. That’s because the bridge’s board of directors voted 13-2 to approve a $2.9 million plan that will replace the bridge’s 30 full-time human tolltakers with a fully electronic system. Don’t say you didn’t see this coming, folks. The existing FasTrak subscription RFID transponder system will continue to work, and there will be a camera-based backup as well — if you pass through the bridge without a FasTrak pass, bridge-mounted cameras will take a picture of your license plate and you’ll get a $6 bill in the mail. Planners estimate the move will save about $19.2 million by the year 2020 in salaries and benefits that would otherwise go to the friendly meatbags who work there now, and should things stay on track the revamped system will debut in February of next year.

Golden Gate Bridge plans to collect all tolls electronically by September 2012 originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 30 Jan 2011 19:37:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
