AT&T's mobile chief: We've sold out of the Facebook phone

 AT&T's Ralph de la Vega on why the HTC First is like a the Motorola Rokr -- and why that's a good thing.

;;
So, the HTC First wasn't a complete disaster after all.
AT&T managed to get rid of most of its inventory, according to AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega. The move to a 99-cent price tag helped spur sales of the Facebook phone, which struggled to catch on with consumers.
"We sold a bunch more when we lowered the price," he said in an interview on Monday. "We sold everything we had on that."

It's unclear how many HTC First phones AT&T had in its inventory, and the company wouldn't discuss the actual number. And even if AT&T has sold out of the phone, it is by no means a success.
The HTC First seemingly ran into problems immediately after Facebook, AT&T, and HTC unveiled the device in a splashy event that also promoted the Facebook Home Android skin. The First was supposed to be the marquee product to show off Facebook's take on an enhanced mobile presence, and AT&T had promised to back it as its flagship product for the season.
Yet many were skeptical the phone would catch on. Those fears were confirmed when AT&T cut the price of the phone to 99 cents after just a few short weeks, implying weak demand. Then came rumors that AT&T had returned unsold inventory to HTC, and that the phone would be discontinued, which people familiar with both companies denied to CNET.
While De la Vega said that the company is done with the inventory, the phone remains available on the Web site.
CNET contacted Facebook and HTC for comment, and we'll update the story when the companies respond.
Even if AT&T managed to rid itself of the HTC First, few would disagree that the phone was a flop. But De la Vega said that he is committing to working on different iterations of products with its partners.
De la Vega compared the HTC First to the Motorola ROKR, which was the ill-received and ill-conceived music-centric phone that was technically Apple's first foray into the cell phone world (a la the ability for the Motorola-designed phone to work with iTunes). AT&T sold the ROKR, and while that phone was a failure, De la Vega believes it helped AT&T get the inside track on the iPhone.
"We have a great relationship with Apple just like we have a great relationship with Facebook," he said. "We look forward to working with them to make Home better."

Beauty Enemy – Pimples And Acne


Beauty Enemy – Pimples And Acne

 skin 1 294x300 Deadliest Beauty Enemy: How To Get Rid Of Pimples And Acne

  Time is running short and you’re getting ready for your cousin’s party; your dress looks nice, your shoes are shining and your accessories are fantastic. When you apply make-up then you notice a bunch of big, red pimples developing in the middle of your forehead. They’re right there, shining and looking very odd, but sadly there’s nothing you can do about it. You’ve just been attacked by your deadliest beauty enemy – Acne!

Many of acne sufferers can relate to this, while teenagers are acne victims have a worried countenance just now. Acne isn’t a skin condition that you can’t get rid of. But you can live an acne-free life, without having to chase beauticians; you have to change a little bit your daily habits.
If you have been an acute acne sufferer since the age of twelve, acne does not only spoils your complexion, but also affects you emotionally, you begin to hesitate socializing,  you begin looking in the mirror more often, you’re constantly upset because you’re conscious of pimples developing on your face and you’re desperately applying different creams and lotions. This stimulates negativity in your personality damaging your outlook towards life, at times.
AcneTeenagers are more prone to these warning signs as looks matter a lot to them. Here are a few tips that can help you lighten your acne problem. Your moms and aunties might have mentioned them earlier, but a refresher would certainly be handy.
* Take at least ten glass of water
You are often reminded to drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. It is because water moisturizes your skin, keeping it supple and healthy. Your skin cells need a lot of water to stay firm and erect because they are constantly losing water due to sweating. Drinking more water will also help your kidneys filter toxins, giving your body an overall cooling effect. Insufficient water intake will not allow these toxic molecules to leave your body, leading to health issues and acne aggravation.
* Take green tea
Green tea taste good, it’s quite beneficial for your health especially skin. This is because green tea is not fermented; instead it’s steamed after being plucked which retains the active substances in its leaves, making it rich in anti-oxidants. Besides that, green tea has an antibacterial effect which decreases your hormonal activity and increases metabolism giving you an overall relaxing effect. So take some green tea and enjoy a healthy cup of green tea!
* Keep checking your diet
Checking your diet doesn’t mean totally giving up on those French fires and colas. It means keeping a check on your junk food. Eat vegetables and fruits daily. Don’t turn your face from vegetables and fruits which are your allies in your fight against acne. It’s good to include green leafy vegetables like spinach, cabbage and at least a bowl of fruits in your diet as they are rich in anti-oxidants which help in preventing acne. Anti-oxidants keep your skin elastic and growing. They prevent wrinkles and neutralize free molecules in your body and create trouble in your skin.
* High level stress is harmful
Are your exams driving you crazy? Or the big presentation at work making you stay up all night stressed? Well, a certain level of stress is good for you, because it makes you work harder and shows you’re concerned about what you do, but a high level of stress isn’t good for your skin. Stress causes your adrenal glands to release a hormone in the blood which makes the sweat glands in your skin produce more oil than needed. Your skin pores become resistive with dead skin cells and bacteria creating favorable conditions for a big, red pimple to develop. Therefore, it is vital to manage your stress level in order to defeat acne.
* Pricking pimple is hazardous
You don’t like the pimple on your cheek, but pricking it will do you no good. Instead pricking, rubbing and squeezing the pimple will cause pain and it may even bleed. There is also a good chance that the pimple will leave behind a clumsy scar because you haven’t allowed the pus to dry out itself. It is advisable to leave the pimple as it is and if possible forget about it totally. This will give zits sufficient times to dry out. These are some handy tips that can help you cope with acne; however, acne is a skin condition that is caused by many external and internal factors. Teenage acne is mainly caused due to the hormonal changes in the body, while adult acne can be due to excessive use of make-up, hereditary factor eating habits or environmental factors.
These natural tips can help improve your overall health as well, the fruits of which you can reap in old age. So try them and get a glowing radiant skin, with out any side-effects. In case your acne remains on your cheeks,   it is necessary to visit a skin specialist

New Muse trailer for World War Z (Exclusive)

New Muse trailer for World War Z (Exclusive)

New video features Brit rockers' tune 'Isolated systems' plus loads of new footag

 


IEN NEWS has got hold of a specially-created cut of the video for Muse's 'Isolated Systems', featuring new footage from Brad Pitt's zombie apocalypse actioner 'World War Z'. Watch it above.

The instrumental track is one of two from the Grammy-winning UK band to feature on the film's soundtrack, a spooky, swelling, atmospheric composition reminiscent of Mike Oldfield's classic 'Tubular Bells', known for its appearance in 'The Exorcist'.

Pitt himself has described it as 'perfect' for the movie.
 The video shows further previously unseen footage from the film, juxtaposing the domestic bliss of Pitt's character - UN worker Gerry Lane - and his family to shots of worldwide turmoil and displacement.

Of particular interest are the new glimpses of the walking – well, running – dead causing catastrophic mayhem in New York City, and the Lane family's breathless struggle to escape the ensuing carnage.

Speaking to Absolute Radio about the project, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy said: “We've done our music in films a few times but this is definitely my favourite one. It was a real collaboration from beginning to end so I'm really glad we got the song in.

“This is probably the biggest film we've ever done. Right from the bat we knew this was a big thing because they kept contacting us when we were making the album (The 2nd Law) saying they wanted us to score the film.
“We weren't available to score the film, so we stayed in touch with them and they invited me and Dom to go and see early cuts of the film and we saw some really crazy stuff.
“I was reading 'World War Z' when I made the album - and I loved it - it had an influence [on] songs like 'Survival', like 'Isolated System'.

“I was thinking about this kind of insane survival situation - this real bleak kind of apocalyptic scenario - when I was making the album, which I tend to do anyway when I'm making albums.

“So it's a really great fit. It's a real, like, thrill ride, total edge of your seat - got some real scary moments.”

The film, which had its premiere in London on Sunday night, is released in the UK on 21 June.

IEN NEWS: Google given 35 days to delete wi-fi data

Street View car in London 

 

Google has been given 35 days to delete any remaining data it "mistakenly collected" while taking pictures for its Street View service, or face criminal proceedings.
But the UK Information Commissioner's Office did not impose a fine.
Its investigation into Google reopened last year after further revelations about the data taken from wi-fi networks.
During that inquiry, additional discs containing private data were found.
Google had previously pledged to destroy all data it had collected, but admitted last year that it had "accidentally" retained the additional discs.
The ICO has told the search giant it must inform it if any further discs of information are discovered.
'Serious lack of oversight' "Today's enforcement notice strengthens the action already taken by our office, placing a legal requirement on Google to delete the remaining payload data identified last year within the next 35 days and immediately inform the ICO if any further discs are found," said Stephen Eckersley, the office's head of enforcement.

What did Google do wrong?

Google Street View, which launched in 2007, has been one of the search company's most ambitious projects to date.
Using specially-adapted cars, it created panoramic images of more than five million miles of the world's roads.
But it was during that process, in 2010, when one unnamed Google engineer wrote a piece of software that would pull data from the unsecured wi-fi networks the car encountered as it drove through towns and cities.
The data included personal emails and other sensitive information.
Google has said it did not plan to collect this data, and that the engineer was acting independently. However, it later transpired that at least one senior manager at the company was aware the collection was taking place.
To date, various regulators around the world have for the most part agreed with this assertion, concluding that the "mistakenly" gathered data was a result of sloppy management at a low level, rather than misguided direction from the top.
"Failure to abide by the notice will be considered as contempt of court, which is a criminal offence."
However, unlike authorities in the US, the ICO said it would not be issuing a fine.
"The detriment caused to individuals by this breach fails to meet the level required to issue a monetary penalty," it said.
It concluded that the collection of the data in 2010 was due to "procedural failings and a serious lack of management oversight", but agreed with Google's assertion that the company did not order the actions at a corporate level.
In a statement on Friday, Google said: "We work hard to get privacy right at Google.
"But in this case we didn't, which is why we quickly tightened up our systems to address the issue. The project leaders never wanted this data, and didn't use it or even look at it.
"We co-operated fully with the ICO throughout its investigation, and having received its order this morning we are proceeding with our plan to delete the data."
'Impeded and delayed' Inquiries into Google's data gathering began in 2010 when it emerged an engineer had written software code to gather information from unsecured wi-fi networks.
Cars taking pictures for the company's massively popular Street View service were used to capture the information.
The company was fined by $25,000 (£15,700) by the US Federal Communications Commission in April last year.
 'Setting a precedent'
The engineer told the FCC that at least two other Google employees, one a senior manager, knew about the data gathering.
Nick Pickles, director of the privacy campaigners Big Brother Watch, criticised the ICO decision.
"People will rightly look at the UK's approach to this issue and ask why, given regulators in the US and Germany have fined Google for exactly the same infringement, it is being allowed to escape with a slap on the wrist in Britain.

Apple notifies parents of in-app purchase settlement details

E-mail lets parents know how they can claim compensation for unauthorized use of in-app purchase in games and apps sold through the App Store.
Apple has begun notifying the parents of children who racked up large bills through unauthorized use of in-app purchase in games and apps sold through the App Store how they will be compensated.
An e-mail sent by the "Apple In-App Purchase Litigation Administrator" describes how the approximately 23 million people part of a class-action lawsuit can apply for compensation. Parents have until January 13, 2014, to claim a $5 iTunes gift cards for charges less than $30, according to the e-mail. The maximum compensation parents can expect is the total amount charged during a single 45-day period without their permission.
Parents who complained that it was far too easy to buy digital goods in games without the need to re-enter an Apple ID password sued Apple in 2011. After a parent downloaded a free or paid title using their password, the child (or someone else) could proceed to make purchases without those credentials, as long as it was within a certain time period.
Apple changed that behavior as part of a system software update in March 2011, but not before some parents were hit with massive bills.
The lawsuit was unrelated to another legal complaint involving in-app purchases. A patent holder named Lodsys made waves in early 2011, suing companies large and small, alleging that they were infringing on its intellectual property by including the option to buy things within the software. Apple joined that suit in April of last year in an effort to defend those developing on its platform.

Facebook reportedly working on mobile news-delivery service

Dubbed internally as Reader, the service would display content from users and publishers in a new visual format tailored for mobile devices, sources tell The Wall Street Journal.
Like Twitter, Facebook users often share breaking news with their friends on the network. But now the social-networking giant is reportedly looking to add a homegrown news-delivery service to its mobile offerings.
 The company has been working on a service internally dubbed Reader that would display content from Facebook users and other publishers in a new visual format tailored for mobile devices, people familiar with the project tell The Wall Street Journal. The project, which has been in the works for more than a year, reportedly resembles Flipboard, the popular news-reading app that aggregates content from multiple sources. A Facebook spokesperson declined to
 omment on the report.
While The Journal reported that it was unclear whether this project would ever be launched, it did note that the project appears geared toward addressing the changing social-networking tastes of Facebook's users.
With the Internet continuing to become more mobile each day, Facebook has been long pushing to boost advertising on mobile. In April, the social network debuted Facebook Home, which is a family of mobile apps and a social-networking-focused skin that runs over Android on smartphones.


Paddlers splash into Hamilton Island for Gatorade Clash of the Paddles

Paddlers from around the globe have begun the battle today (20 June) on Hamilton Island at the annual Gatorade Clash of the Paddles.

Formerly known as the Hamilton Cup, 2013 marks the historic 30th anniversary of the annual paddling event, which has grown over the years into one of the most respected and demanding competitions on the Australian Outrigger Calendar.

Five disciplines will be contested by professional and amateur paddlers throughout the four-day event, including outrigging, stand-up paddle boarding, board paddling, surf skiing and for the first time, Dragon Boating.

Big name individuals and teams attending the event include Ky Hurst, Phil Clayton, Jeremy Cotter, Jonathon Crowe, Outrigger Australia, Mooloolaba OCC, Northern Beaches OCC and Cronulla OCC. International crews from Hawaii, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea and Singapore are also expected.

A number of additions to the event schedule have been planned to celebrate 30 years.

Perfect for families, nippers activities will be held on Catseye Beach hosted by surf legends Ky Hurst and Phil Clayton. Open to all participants, the Nippers clinics are designed to encourage grassroots growth of the sports.

Also new in 2013, Australia’s first and only SUPYoga (Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga) accredited teacher, Charlotte Piho (pictured), will be  providing competitors and guests with the opportunity to experience this increasingly popular, new-style yoga work out.

Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) says with an impressive history of on-water sporting achievements under his belt, Jeremy Cotter from North Burleigh SLSC will be looking to take out the double this year after a 2012 win in the Open Men’s Downward Ski Race (Ocean Ski) Long Course and second place in the Short Course.
Joining Cotter in both events will be TV personality and Dee Why SLSC lifesaver, Hayden Quinn.
