Get Ready To Call iTunes

Get Ready To Call iTunes 12/19/2004 03:11 PM
Apple Computer and Motorola could soon show us the mobile phone they are developing to play music purchased from Apple's iTunes online music store. "We've said we have something coming on this in the first half of 2005 and we're definitely on schedule for that. Hopefully you'll be able to see more about it soon," says Eddy Cue, vice president in charge of applications at Apple

If the phone is as far along as Cue suggests, then Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs would be likely to announce it during his annual keynote speech at MacWorld Expo, scheduled for Jan. 11, 2005 in San Francisco. In true Apple style, Cue declined to say whether Jobs will indeed address the phone at that event. "What we've talked about is a something that is valuable for the mass market," Cue says. "It has to be a phone in the middle-tier of the market, not a $500-tier phone. It has to be very seamless to use. And we're very happy with the results." .

New E911 Service May Actually Delay
Phone Calls To 911 06/17/2004 05:16 AM
There's been an ongoing struggle to get the various wireless carriers to offer E911 functionality, so that police can quickly determine the location of a caller. However, a glitch in the way Verizon Wireless set up their E911 system means that some callers may experience a series of two second delays when calling 911 as the phone tries to pinpoint the callers location. As you might imagine, a two second delay on an emergency call can be quite a lot. The problem is unlikely to happen in most situations - only in cases where it's difficult for the GPS to get a read on the location. However, that probably isn't too comforting to the few people it will impact. Verizon is working to fix the problem. Sprint is quoted as saying they fixed this same problem last year, so it's obviously not a new issue. This seems like the type of issue you would try to solve as early as possible.

e911 cell phone location query 01/02/2004 12:02 PM
Mind some dumb-ass questions about cell phone location technology and policy for something I'm writing? I'm having trouble finding a site on the Web that talks about this at a sufficient level of ignorance. I understand that by 2005, 95% of cell phones in the US need to be able to broadcast their location with an accuracy of 50-150m. This is part of the FCC's e911 ("Enhanced 911") act. Here's what I don't understand: 1. The wireless carriers are required to track that information only if you make a 911 call. But will my cell phone be broadcasting its location...

Feds Launch Bioinformatics Centers - Institute contracts for databases and portals to compile info on diseases. Officials at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are enlisting private companies and universities to help make data available about disease-causing organisms. Under eight five-year contracts, companies and academic institutions will develop databases and Web portals to compile information about a small number of pathogens, the germs that cause disease. Some of the pathogens are considered possible bioterrorism agents, while others are public health concerns unrelated to terrorism. With NIAID footing the bill, the data will be freely available to scientists, said Valentina Di Francesco, bioinformatics program director in NIAID's Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Officials at NIAID, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, have awarded seven Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) contracts, and one more is in negotiations, she said. This has been added to Biological Informatics Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
