Man Arrested for Not Tweeting?

james

In a bizarre case involving teen YouTube sensation Justin Bieber and a riotous crowd of his fans, a record exec from Island Def Jam Records was arrested Friday for, among other things, failing to Tweet when told to by authorities.

When the Beiber event at Roosevelt Field mall became unruly (video below), police appealed to the artist’s label to send a Tweet telling the crowd to leave. When that allegedly didn’t happen, police arrested James Roppo, a senior vice president of Island Def Jam Records, for “endangering the welfare of a minor and obstructing government administration”.
An Associated Press feed reads:

Police arrested a vice president from Bieber’s record label, Island Def Jam Records, saying he wasn’t cooperating with attempts to disperse the crowd. James Roppo, 44, of Hoboken, N.J., was charged with a series of misdemeanours, including endangering the welfare of children and obstructing governmental administration.

Google Now Knows Your Heart Rate

james

Together with IBM, Google has launched a new Google Health initiative: the service will now be able to pull data directly from various medical devices: heart rate monitors, scales, blood-sugar measurement meters and so on.

That’s right, besides knowing pretty much everything about you, if you let it, Google can now pull personal information directly from your body.

There are very palpable benefits to this; for example, your personal trainer, doctor or nutritionist will now be able to remotely monitor how your body works. Eat too many donuts, and your insulin level will skyrocket; but if you give access to your blood sugar level monitor to your doctor, he’s going to have that “you’re not listening to me” frown next time you visit him.

Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Released

james

It’s becoming more and more clear that Google is breathing down the neck of Microsoft when it comes to office and document-building software. Microsoft’s flagship Office software defeated Google Docs in our reader vote last week, but the margin of victory was surprisingly low. On top of that, Google is asserting that Google Docs will be a viable alternative to Office by 2010.

Microsoft isn’t taking this threat sitting down, though. In July, it announced Office 2010. It hosts an array of new features, with the biggest being a full online version of Docs, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Now the technology titan is taking the next step to bringing Office 2010 to market (and fighting back): the release of the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta.

New Visualizations to Google Image Search: Image Swirl

james

Google seems to have a renewed focus on improving the image search experience. For example, just last month Google Similar Images, which uses image recognition technology for filtering search results, graduated from Google Labs and became a default feature of Google Image search.

In an effort to continue down the better image search path, Google has just released a new Labs feature called Google Image Swirl. The new functionality is the result of computer vision research and clusters images into groups that you can search by way of an experimental new user interface.

Microsoft Still Isn’t Making Money on the Web

james

Microsoft is out with its latest earnings report, and while Wall Street seems to be responding favorably to the news, the company continues to struggle financially in the area we focus most on – the Web.

Specifically, the company’s online division reported a loss of $480 million in the quarter on revenue of $490 million. That’s less revenue than last year, when it pulled in $520 million, and a bigger loss as well versus the $321 shortfall in the first quarter of 2008.

Microsoft’s primary plan to reverse this trend is Bing (Bing), which it’s in the midst of spending $100 million to promote. There are a few reasons to be optimistic:
