Adam: The word on the street is that Hazard is a remake of the World at War map Cliffside. Actually, that?ˉs a fact, confirmed by Treyarch. The shape of the landmass is the same and several key features, including the bridge at one end, the two centrally located bunkers and the wide open lane down the middle that looks from one end of the map to the other. Don?ˉt get too caught up in those feelings of nostalgia though, or a sniper will almost definitely take your head off. ?°Cliffside?±?- errr?- that is, dre headphones?°Hazard?±, is all about long-range engagements. That AK-74u you?ˉve been carting around isn?ˉt going to do you much good here. Not only is this battlefield wide-open, there are also multiple cover points you can use to both cross it and stake out your prey from. Teamwork is essential on this map, especially for objective-based games. The control points in Domination maps are right out in the open, with little to no cover available. It was a devious map in World at War and it is even more so now, thanks to all of the tools you have to work with in this more modern theater of war. It?ˉs actually really cool to see this remade map come to life in a new game. Fans have long talked about thebeats solo headphones dream scenario of a Call of Duty multiplayer game that ropes in maps from all of the releases in the series. ?°Hazard?± not only proves that it can be done, but that it can work well even in a different time period. Ryan: ?°Hazard?± is one of the best looking maps in Black Ops. The golf course setting is attractive and lush looking, and it is a stark contrast to the other maps which have a more war torn look dominated by grays and browns. Like the map ?°Hotel?± from the Escalation map pack, the aesthetics alone help break up any possible monotony, and for that reason alone ?°Hazard?± is a great map. It is also a lot of fun to play. For the people that enjoy rushing out and taking the head first ?°I?ˉm Gonna Get You Sucka?± approach to Black Ops, you will not enjoy your time with ?°Hazard.?± If you win a bet against your friend and are looking for a suitable payoff, make themdre diddy beats play this map with only a shotgun and see if they can get a single kill. There are paths to avoid being exposed, but they will force you to go out of your way. You can either flank or risk getting shot at. This map is made for snipers and long range fans. Even the average sniper (like me) can land a few satisfying kills from distance, and there is very little chance of getting bored while waiting for enemies to show themselves. Certain game types will not work well on this map. Deathmatch is always fine, and domination will work if you bring smoke grenades, but capture the flag, demolition, headquarters, search and destroy and others might be frustrating. In fact, any game type where you need teamwork will be especially tough considering half of your teammates will want to hang back and snipe. ?°Hazard?± is an excellent map, but it will turn a lot of people off. Adam: There are two layers to ?°Hangar 18??. First is the coolness factor that comes from exchanging weaponsbeats by dre butterfly fire on the ground at Area 51. You?ˉve got a giant, open hangar with an SR-71 Blackbird ¨C the coolest military jet in this world by a large margin ¨C sticking out of it. You can even walk on the thing. There?ˉs an autopsy room with what is almost certainly the body of a Grey alien covered by a surgical sheet. There?ˉs even a domed structure containing a bizarre column-shaped apparatus, at the center of which floats a shiny, red, bulletproof apple. Awesome. That?ˉs the first layer. The second layer is the map itself as a construct for waging team-based gun battles. ?°Hanger 18?± is a success there as well. This is a large map, and a fairly open one in the center area. Some of the heaviest fighting happens in, and spills out of the hangar, the map?ˉs centerpiece. There are multiple entrances and quite a few shadowed nooks tomonster beats pro sit silently in as you wait for your moment to strike. The fringe of the map is where you?ˉll find the truly weird stuff, like the dead Grey and the floating apple. Also, plenty of windows and hideaways to snipe from. This map isn?ˉt all about the snipers, but ranged classes definitely have an advantage. It really comes back to the SR-71 in the end though. It?ˉs a dangerous thing to hang out on top of and snipe from, but man is it cool. Ryan: Putting aside the cool visuals, including the Blackbird and the mystery apple (which ricochets bullets off of it), the map is actually fairly straight forward, in a good way. In traditional CoD fashion, there are three paths to choose from, with a central area that makes it a good map for most game types. There is plenty monster beats lady gagaof room to snipe or attack with long ranged weapons, but the cover is good enough that you can make your way through the map with close quarter weapons too. ?°Hangar?± is just a good, balanced map. If you took away the alien stuff and the Blackbird, it would be somewhat basic compared to the other three maps, but that is just in the look. You can play ?°Hangar?± 10 times, and it would move differently all 10 times. A team can set up a coordinated defense, but eventually one team will break through and rout the other. On the other hand, both teams can constantly keep moving. There are a ton of choices, and ways to play. Domination plays particularly well here. If you don?ˉt care about the alien stuff, ?°Hangar?± might come across as a simple map compared to the other three, but it is well balanced and will offer the most for all types of players. It is also deceptive in its size. There is plenty of room to snipe and fight with ranged weapons, but it isn?ˉt big enough to hide. Give it time and this may become one of the most popular Black Ops maps.

New numbers released by research firm Nielsen market metrics show that Google's Android operating system has remained the most popular smartphone platform in the u.s. market, accounting for 38 percent of smartphone users. However, Nielsen also finds that adoption of the new Android smartphone buyers over the past few months remained steady at 27%, while the Apple iPhone has shown steady growth, jumping from 10 per cent of new buyers in February to 17 percent in May. In other words, Apple's iOS is a single smartphone platform have shown significant growth in recent months. Nielsen also found that 55 percent beats by dreof mobile users who have bought a new phone in recent months have bought a smartphone ?? meaning 45 percent of sales of new phone were phones feature called. A year ago, feature phones represent two-thirds of new mobile phone acquisitions. Industry observers are giving iPhone market expansion in great part to the device recently going on sale at Verizon Wireless, breach of contract of AT&T's multi-annual exclusivity with Apple for the iPhone. However, it is also important to note that the AT&T had a hit on their hands offering the iPhone 3GS now two years old to mid-size buyers for just $ 50, in a new two year contract from minor. During the same period from February to may, BlackBerry maker RIM saw its share of new phone purchases dropped 11% to 6%, while the Windows phone held relatively stable at one percent. Nielsen figures only account for sales of smartphone; they don't figure into tablets or other non-phone devices running iOS Android or Apple. LOS ANGELES (Reuters)-as it turns out, the role of Justin Timberlake as Napster founder Sean Parker in "Social beats by dre soloNetwork" was a wink and nod to celebrity disclosed little role in the conduct of Silicon Valley start-ups. But his involvement in the technology industry attracted public notice this week with news that Timberlake, whose character in the Oscar-nominated movie has helped shape the early days, Facebook will have a stake in Myspace, the social networking site in difficulty that new Corp is selling at a great loss. The move-in partnership with specific media-is the latest in the Empire peacefully in business expansion and investment Timberlake. Can also be one of its highest to date, pushing the singer-actor in a category of celebrity-turned-entrepreneur in the mold of Ashton Kutcher. "Fame is a highly fungible product," said Paul Levinson, a professor of media studies at Fordham University and an author on media innovation and communications. "Does something that you do more likely to be successful". Timberlake has several commercial ventures disclosed, jeans and clothing line William Rast and record label beats by dre solo hdTennman Records, a joint venture with Interscope Records, to 901 Silver Tequila, a name inspired by an area code in the hometown of Timberlake of Memphis. But Timberlake has been providing relatively under-the-radar Angel invest emerging technology through its Tennman Digital, an operation based on the technology center of San Francisco. It incubates "great ideas that we believe will change how we share information, consume media and interact with the people around us," in interactive digital media space, according to a profile published in techVenture, a site that pairs investors with new companies. Tennman Digital funded the startup of the particles, which develops the application of micro-video Robo.tv, among other things. The Group also provided funding to developer of gaming applications on the Apple iPhone Tapulous. Timberlake function on Myspace remains uncertain, although he has his own Office and a team of six that will workbeats by dre studio for him, in accordance with specific Media CEO Tim Vanderhook. Vanderhook said the experience of his company in technology and advertising would complement the star's innate creativity to produce a site with "high entertainment value", with original content of a community of musicians, photographers and other creative professionals. The combination of money, an iconic image and business acumen displayed by him in the past that all increase the likelihood of success, Levinson said. That is good news for Timberlake and specific means, whose investment signs of optimism that the mark of Myspace can be revived. "The only thing that's been underreporting is excited as Justin is to do this. I was blown away by your level of excitement, "Vanderhook said in a telephone interview. "I think he was enthralled by your level of excitement, too". Dish Network (NASDAQ: dish-News) rose by 3.6% to 30.67 after he has a green light from the bankruptcy judge Robert Gerber buy bankruptcy DBSD North America for about $ 1.4 bil. Gerber, said he would wait to enter the official order until the dish has the opportunity to study the changes in the plan. The deal would be 3 important acquisition of the dish, this year. On Monday, he won an auctionmonster beats tour to buy TerreStar Networks, another telecommunications company bankrupt, for US $1,38 bil. RBC raised its price target for the dish for $ 37 of r $ 35. The third and possibly final Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack, Annihilation, has been released for Xbox Live (with PC and PS3 releases due out soon), and if this is the final release, Treyarch is going out in style. The pack will cost around $15 which means that if you have bought both previous packs, and plan on purchasing this one, add in the cost of the game itself, and you would have dropped at least $105 for the game. And while that might sound like an exorbitant fee, and you can justifiably grumble over the headshot your wallet just took, compare it to the time most fans of the game actually spend on line. Sure it is a racket, but it is one that pays for itself in time spent using it. But whether you love them or hate them, the map packs expand the life of a game that people will play to death. Sure it doesn?ˉt hurt Activision?ˉs pocketbook, but that is the way of games these days. Additional content for dollars isn?ˉt going anywhere. Sure an additional $15 might seem steep, but if the content is worth it, it is reasonable. And thankfully the Annihilation map pack with its four new multiplayer maps and zombie map is definitely worth the price. Our own Ryan Fleming and Adam Rosenberg break it down. Adam Rosenberg: A lot of Call of Duty fans like their maps small and intimate. You see evidence of this every time Treyarch sets up a ?°Nuketown 24/7?± playlist during Double XP weekends. We all flock at the chance to run buck wild, scoring kills simply for spraying ammo and explosives out randomly. It?ˉs no surprise then that ?°Nuketown?± was the inspiration for ?°Drive-In?±. beats bu dre turbineThe ??50s vibe is in full effect, though here we have a war-torn drive-in movie theater replacing the squeaky clean nuclear bomb testing ground of the core multiplayer map. Unlike ?°Nuketown?±, which is highlighted by a wide-open central space that offers good sightlines across the relatively small space, the new map focus on several individual close-quarters engagements. Shotguns and SMGs are your friends here. Even the central area with the tattered movie screen (how the heck is that projector still even working?!) is tight and closed in. The projector booth overlooking it is a danger zone if you happen to be wandering through, as the distance is short enough that even an assault rifle makes an effective sniper?ˉs tool. The surrounding space forms a rough oval around that central area, and it?ˉs in these surrounding areas that you?ˉll want to run through, moving from building to building as you rack up kills. The overall map is larger than ?°Nuketown?±, but the layout presents a much more close quarters-focused experience. As someone who enjoys breaking out a shotgun every now and again, this has quickly become my favorite map of the four new competitive multiplayer offerings. Ryan Fleming: ?°Drive-In?± is a tight map with several hiding spaces, but nowhere safe. As with most CoD maps, there are three paths, the center and two flanking areas. All three are defensible, but the relatively small size of ?°Drive-In?± makes this the fastest moving of the four maps. You can try sniping if you like, and you may get a few kills if you are well positioned, but it is only a matter of time before someone flanks you. ?Speed and powerful, fast firing weapons are your friends here, although a silenced SMG and a defensible location can net you a ton of kills¨Cuntil a well thrown grenade ends your streak. Because of the size, ?°Drive-In?± is a good map for most gametypes, with the possible exception of Ground War??which may be too chaotic for most, but time will tell. Headquarters will also be a little cramped, but domination should offer some interesting battles as the areas are constantly switching hands. While ?°Nuketown?± is a definite inspiration for this map, there are two things that differentiate it: First, it is slightly bigger and offers more cover. Second, it is a rundown area so enemies can hide in the tall grass, or in dark corners. ?°Nuketown?± is a great map that offers some fun games, but they are a very specific type of frantic game. ?°Drive-In?± has that same appeal, but it is more balanced, and a better map for it.

Adam: Silo is a lot like ?°Hangar 18?± in some ways. It?ˉs a big map, and an outdoor one. You?ˉre inside some kind of large, heavily secured military complex. There are also some cool features to the map that have zero effect on the gameplay?- they?ˉre just cool. Specifically, beyond the borders of the map are missile silos that fire off a large rocket every few minutes. The screen shakes a little and other sounds are temporarily muffled, but it?ˉs so short that the impact is minimal. Unless a launching missile happens to distract you long enough for someone to walk up behind you and plant a knife in your back. That?ˉs where the biggestcheap monster beats headphones difference between ?°Silo?± and ?°Hangar 18?± lies. Pause too long on the latter map, and a sniper?ˉs bullet will inevitably find its way to you. There?ˉs a lot less range to work with on ?°Silo?±. The rundown missile launch facility is all tight corridors and cramped indoor spaces. There?ˉs a lot of ground to cover, but very few wide open sightlines across the map. This is the perfect map to break out the shotgun for and just run amok on. Ryan: ?°Silo?± is my favorite map in the new map pack, and I?ˉm not ashamed to admit it. Sure, it doesn?ˉt move as fast as ?°Drive-In?±, it isn?ˉt as visually stunning as ?°Hazard,?± and there are no alien autopsies going on, but there is a lot of freedom in this map. At first glance ?°Silo?± is a big map, but after you learn the pathways, you see that it isn?ˉt as much big as it is dense. There are multiple pathways??even one underground tunnel??sniper nests, and plenty of nooks to hide in, wait in ambush, or just use as cover from incoming fire. The people that learn this map first will have a huge advantage. It?ˉs not like you will get lost or anything, but learning where you can duck under cover is going to make a hugebeats solo michael jackson limited difference. While snipers will have plenty of options here, this map truly favors the players that like to constantly keep moving. There is always the fear of being snuck up on, but if you are fast and move with confidence, you can make your way around the map, racking up some kills on the way, and be gone long before anyone knows you were there. There is so much cover that stealth players will murder people here once they learn the map. Domination plays well here, and for a change, you actually have a chance of sneaking up and taking the B area without eating a grenade. It?ˉs not a good chance, but there is a chance. There are just so many pathways and alleys that campers will have a tough time avoiding being snuck up on. So while this is a dense map, it also moves well. ?°Silo?± is well designed and fun to play in almost any game type. Adam: The new zombie map is arguably the highlight of any map pack from Treyarch. ?°Shangri-La?±, the Annihilation pack?ˉs addition to the survival-based co-op mode, does not disappoint. The all-star cast and blockbuster sense of scale seen in the previous map, ?°Call of the Dead?±, is done away with completely. There?ˉs no preamble or postscript cutscene when you load up a solo match, and your zombie hunters are once again the familiar foursomebeats solo purple of Dempsey, Nikolai, Richtofen and Takeo. There?ˉs a new wonder weapon that transforms your foes into kickable voodoo doll zombies and ?three new special zombies: a stun-inducing Shrieker, a deadly, exploding Napalm zombie and rascally little monkeys which only pop up when pickups are left unattended. The furry little bastards steal said pickups and run off with them, though you can gun them down to get a random pickup back. In short, what we?ˉre looking at is more of the same creative lunacy we?ˉve come to expect from new zombie mode maps. There is no ?°best?± when it comes to these maps, but ?°Shangri-La?± is definitely a welcome change after the tense ?°holycrapwealwayshavetorun?± vibe of ?°Call of the Dead?±. There?ˉs no uber-boss hunting you at all times and there are no boss-specific rounds either. The Shrieker and Napalm zombies pop up in the midst of regular rounds far less frequently than regular deadheads do. It feels like pickups are more common since there?ˉs now no boss round ¨C and guaranteed max ammo boost at the end of it ¨C though that could be an illusion. ?°Shangri-La?± is smaller than ?°Call of the Dead?± and ?°Ascension?± before it; it may actually be the smallest one overall. There?ˉs a great deal of complexity, however. None of the traditional traps you?ˉre used to seeing, but lots ofmonster beats lamboghin funky elements. For example, one mud-filled room slows you down and prevents you from jumping unless you?ˉre walking on wooden platforms that automatically appear as you progress from one to the next. The platforms appear in a certain sequence, seemingly randomized, that lead you to one of the room?ˉs three possible exits. There is also an extended water slide and a mine cart you can ride on. The centerpiece, though, is the new easter egg. By far the most elaborate puzzle yet conceived for the zombie mode, you?ˉll have to perform a certain action to trigger the map?ˉs temporary (and unique) ?°eclipse?± mode. It has no effect on the gameplay beyond changing the color of the surrounding environment, but certain tasks must be performed in a certain order to complete the easter egg, learn more about the mode?ˉs ever-developing story and get a little bonus treat. Also, an achievement, if you?ˉre into that sort of thing. Ryan: Unlike Adam, for me the Zombie maps have always been a fun diversion from the multiplayer, but not much more. Treyarch obviously disagrees, and each subsequent zombie map is bigger, more complex, and more incredible than the last. ?°Shangri-La?± is no exception??except for the bigger part. The first thing to know about ?°Shangri-La?± is that it is not for the casual zombie game fans. This map is a love letter to the players that have passionately flocked to the zombie games. It requires teamwork??and not just the occasional ?°Watch my back?± teamwork, but a true coordinated effort. Even justbeats by dre ferrari moving through the trap infested map requires coordination. ?°Shangri-La?± is also the wildest of all the zombie maps. There are traps everywhere that can separate you and your team unless you coordinate, and turning the power on makes the map even more complicated as new waterways and pathways open up. The bosses of previous zombie maps are gone, but there are new mini-bosses of a sort roaming around that make things tough. I kind of miss the sense of presentation that ?°Call of the Dead?± had, but in terms of game play, ?°Shangri-La?± is a step forward. The zombie maps have come a long way from the simple mini-games that they were. They have taken on a life of their own, and Call of Duty is better for it. Adam: Overall, Annihilation is my favorite of the Black Ops map packs released so far. Treyarch may well be onto something with the remix of ?°Cliffside?± as ?°Hazard?± (someone, please bring back ?°Shipment?± from Infinity Ward?ˉs COD4!), but the new maps hold their own just fine. ?°Hangar 18?± is a highlight simply for being insanely cool, but ?°Drive-In?± is the standout for giving virtual soldiers a new meat grinder to duke it out in. Then there?ˉs ?°Shangri-La?±, the zombie map, which is a special kind of paradise. Ryan: The Annihilation map pack is the best of the three Black Ops expansions. The maps are balanced (with the exception of ?°Hazard?± which is still fun to play), they look good visually, and they will accommodate almost any game type. Each of the four new maps has something to offer, and they all offer a ton of variety. A lot of thought went into the design, and it shows. ?°Shangri-La?± is also an excellent addition and will keep fans of the zombie maps occupied for a long time. If this is the final Black Ops map pack, Treyarch is going out on a high note.

Twitter is about to get much more serious. On July 6, President Obama will use the same network of media we turn to the ranting of friends and reflections of Shaquille O'Neill to host a live town hall meeting, marking the first town hall meeting Whitehouse use Twitter. Specifically, the official site States that the President will answer questions about the economy and employment, but of course we hope that it will address topics more then just the two. The White House still has not providedmonster beats many details about exactly how the Town Hall will work, but we know Obama President will answer live via webcast. ?The official page does not State how he will select questions to answer, or if the spectators could see the flow of the questions that the President can select during the event. While this is the first town hall Twitter, this is not the first city that President Obama has hosted through social media. On 20 April, the President hosted a town hall meeting with Facebook. The President also made it clear that he values the social media by meeting with the heads of several technology companies and post your own tweets and status updates. ?Hosting a town hall on Twitter will be a great way to not only show his continued dedication to social media, but add yet another way for him to reach the American people. ?Or at least the American people who have Twitter accounts and can watch the event in the middle of the day during the work week.?We're still curious how deep of a question you can ask in 140 characters or less. Even more interesting would be if the President had to answer them in 140 characters.

An anonymous letter posted on the Web on Thursday, purportedly written by a senior employee of RIM, research in motion took to task for the lack of management responsibility, poor software tools and even being very nice. Although the lyrics were written anonymously and sent to BGR, RIM-anonymously-chose to recognize it and confirmed that its management was "fully aware of and aggressively addressing the business challenges and its opportunities." The author of the letter "Mike and Jim"-Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, RIM co-chief executives-and opened withmonster beats special edition the statement, "I lost confidence". BGR said he had confirmed the author of the letter as a RIM employee "high level". "We are in the midst of great ' transition ' and things that have never been more chaotic," wrote the author of the letter. "Almost all projects is falling further and further behind in a time when we are absolutely must deliver solid products, big time. We encourage you to take bold decisions about our organisational structure, about our culture and, more importantly, our products. " Author of the letter identified eight issues to address: focus on end-user experience, recruit senior software leaders, stop projects for its foundations, prioritize developers, improve marketing, improve accountability ("Canadians are very nice") and monster beats kobetreat the press and customers with humility and paranoia. Finally, the author wrote, it was time to stand up and energize the troops. The author also suggested changing the name of the company "BlackBerry" to signify the company's focus on its new QNX superphones. Mishaps of the RIM has been heavily scrutinized, including lack of email on BlackBerry primer, a botched interview with CNBC and then product delays and poor sales. PC Magazine lead Analyst Sascha Segan wireless went so far as to put the company on a death watch . All these problems can be solved, monster beats prothe letter said. RIM's priority, in accordance with the Charter, has been identifying and focusing on end-user experience, almost exactly the same thing Apple CEO Steve Jobs said on his return to the company in 2007. "Often we take product decisions based on strategic alignment, partner requests or even a lawyer ?? the end user doesn't care," says the letter. "We simply have to admit that Apple is preaching this and is one of the reasons that they have people lining up overnight in stores worldwide and products sold for months". But the letter-writer also suggested that RIM hire some heavy hitters to manage their software programs, including improving their developer SDKs, in addition to "a summary 1990/s Ford Explorer" quality "Brilliant new BMW M3 of Apple". Excess programs must be cut and RIM should respond to customers, not the carriers, which he wrote. Finally, the author of the letter recommended demoting both co-CEOs. "To avoid this death, perhaps it is time to seriously consider experienced a new and fresh thinking, CEO," author of the letter said. "There is no shame in not being a CEO. Mike, you can focus on innovation. Jim, you can concentrate on our carriers/customers ... They are our lifeblood. " For its part, an anonymous blog post on the blog of RIM's BlackBerry has confirmed that the senior management team at RIM is "fully conscious and aggressively addressing the business challenges and its opportunities." The company "RIM recently confirmed that monster beats lamboghin he is nearing the end of big business and technology transition.," he wrote. "Although this transition took longer than anticipated, there is much enthusiasm and optimism within the company about the new products that are lined up for the coming months."

JOELLE TESSLER, AP technology writer Joelle Tessler, Ap technology writer ¨C June 30, 07:01 pm ET qui WASHINGTON-new test results show that a proposed national network of broadband wireless would produce a significant interference with GPS systems used for everything from aviationdre headphones to networks of high precision timing for consumer navigation devices. Amendments to the proposal could reduce the interference, but wouldn't rule it out. The findings, based on extensive testing equipment in Las Vegas, increase the pressure on the Federal Communications Commission to block a Virginia company called LightSquared launch of the network, which is designed to compete with super-fast systems being implemented by the AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Although the FCC in January gave LightSquared approval to build the system, the Agency said that the company would not enable the network until they are resolved GPS interference problems. The Agency needed LightSquared, manufacturers of GPS and GPS users to establish a working group to study the subject. This group Filed its report with the Commissionbeats by dre diddy on Thursday, with both sides offer different interpretations of test results. LightSquared insisted that the interference problems are correctable. But the GPS equipment manufacturers and companies and Government agencies that rely on GPS technology, warn that the planned network would jam their systems because LightSquared would use airwaves near for those already set aside for GPS. They say that sensitive satellite receivers ?? designed to pick up relatively weak signals from space ?? could be overwhelmed when LightSquared starts sending signals of up to 40,000 high power transmitters on the ground. GPS signals, they say, will suffer the way a radio station can get drowned out by a stronger broadcast in a nearby canal. "FCC must consider other options for signs of LightSquared where they do not run against the laws of physics," said Charles Trimble, cofounder of Trimble Navigation Ltd., which causes the GPS systems. With the report of the Working Group, the cheap monster beats butterflyFCC now will seek public comments. The FCC said it will review the report, adding that he has "an old registry dispute resolution of interference". Report of the working group follows the release of federal test results that also found a significant interference with GPS systems used by a wide range of government agencies, including the coast guard, the Federal Aviation Administration and NASA. Faced with growing GPS industry resistance, LightSquared last week proposed to launch its network using a different slice of airwaves located farther away from GPS frequencies. It is also proposed to transmit signals at lower levels of energy to ensure that your network would not interfere with most GPS systems nearby. Most of the tests carried out by the Working Group was based on the original plan of the company use waves of advancing to the band GPS. The Working Group, said that the plan wouldbeats by dre pro produce significant interference, linear. Among the findings: ? GPS systems used for aviation would be available on entire regions of the country at altitudes of normal aircraft. GPS receivers ? built in cell phone handsets could experience significant distances interference of base stations of LightSquared ?? resulting in readings of delayed or inaccurate location. Space ? GPS receivers used in NASA science missions could be stopped. Although the working group only performed limited testing on the basis of a proposal from the LightSquared to use different radio waves, said the change could reduce problems for some GPS receivers, including those used in cellular phones and navigation of aircraft. LightSquared, however, recognizes that other beats by dre lady gagaGPS devices, particularly high precision receivers used in construction and agriculture, would still have significant disruption. LightSquared States that the interference is largely a problem of own make GPS industry. This is because GPS receivers are picking up signs outside their own bands ?? on licensed frequencies to LightSquared. That had never submitted a conflict until the FCC provisionally approved wireless broadband network of LightSquared. Until now, this spectrum was mainly used for satellite communications, with only limited wireless service on Earth to fill gaps in coverage. GPS receivers can screen easily. LightSquared, which is based in Reston, Virginia, also insists that the problem can be fixed by installing better filters in GPS devices to filter your signals. These filters, LightSquared says, cost as little as 5 cents. GPS manufacturers say that the solution is speculative because these filters do not yet exist and were not available for testing. They add that although filters can work with some GPS receivers, such as those embedded in cell phones, they would not work in all GPS equipment and can significantly impair performance and battery life. Bronson Hokuf, an engineer with GPS manufacturer Garmin Ltd., also said it would be almost impossible to improve hundreds of millions of existing GPS devices already in use. The working group said install new filters in the GPS equipment used for aviation, for example, it would be too expensive and could take at least 10 years. Although the FCC has promised that he will not leave the network LightSquared harm GPS systems, is eager to see the company succeed. The FCC sees the network as part of a broader government effort to make more radio waves for mobile broadband services to keep up with the explosive growth of online applications, video and other bandwidth need wireless mobile applications. The Agency also hopes that lightsquared will help you promote your goal to bring Internet connections to high speed all Americans. The company, which plans the wholesale network access to other companies that will rebrand the service under your own name, undertook to reach 260 million Americans with its coverage until 2015.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.-The U.S. International Trade Commission issued a mixed verdict Thursday in patent infringement litigation of Eastman Kodak Co senior with manufacturers of iPhone and BlackBerry phones. The decision disappointed investors. The referee of trade dispute in Washington, D.C., said it is essentially agreeing with one of its judges, who threw out claims of pioneer photography. The federal agency has found limited beats by drepatent infringement. He also sent some issues back to the judge for later review and Kodak could still prevail in the remaining credits. Kodak stock fell 16 percent. "This is a Kodak negative because they do not earn," said analyst Shannon cross of Cross research in Livingston, N.J. Although there is a chance that Kodak could prevail in the rest area, she said, "it seems that the odds you want to get a great settlement are much smaller." Chief Executive Antonio Perez hoped that Kodak could draw up to $ 1 billion of their deep pocketed rivals. Kodak held out hope.
