Fast payday loans For Every One

Samsung has confirmed to German tech news site Heise that it no longer plans to offer its Windows RT tablet, the ATIV Tab, in Germany and some “other European countries.” The decision was reportedly made after the Korean conglomerate surveyed retailers and found there was little demand for Samsung Windows RT products. Today’s news echoes Samsung’s decision to not offer the Ativ Tab in the US. It made that call citing customer confusion over what Windows RT is, claiming that limited consumer interest in the OS made the cost of educating potential users too high. We’ve reached out to Samsung to confirm Heise’s report, as well as to clarify which countries it is pulling out of.

‘Wildman’ Kickstarter campaign canceled after desperate pleas fail to spark interest

Wildman

Two weeks ago, game developer Gas Powered Games said it was “betting the company” on its Wildman Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately, it looks like the bet didn’t pay off: Gas Powered Games has canceled its Kickstarter campaign just two days before funding was due to close. The campaign managed to raise $ 504,120 of its $ 1.1 million goal, but rather than make a last-ditch effort to publicize it, the developer has decided to “focus [its] attention on other ways to keep Gas Powered Games running” instead. It also took the opportunity to thank its backers, saying it’s “profoundly grateful” to those that pledged through Kickstarter. As for the fate of Wildman, Gas Powered Games hasn’t shared specifics just yet, but says it’ll make future…

YouTube Campaigns lets nonprofits draw our interest without the telethons

YouTube Campaigns lets nonprofits draw our interest without the telethons

Attempting to launch a collective nonprofit video campaign can easily feel like tilting at windmills: you may have one moment of undivided attention from audiences prior to they’re off to view cats and Nigerian pygmy goats. Google wishes to maximize that time with its YouTube Campaigns initiative. The strategy delivers on-video overlays and channel areas that show viewers both a development meter for the campaign in addition to a handy links to explore and share what they have actually discovered. If all works out, charities and similar organizations get more contributions and YouTube views, while we in the basic public are reminded that there’s even more to life than K-pop videos. It certainly beats manning the phones for a star fundraiser.

NASA maps out proposed trip plans for Interest, decides to head for the hills

NASA maps out proposed travel plans for Curiosity, decides to head for the hills

As the vista on Mars gradually gets ever clearer, and the system checks continue to show that the rover is in good stead, the group behind Interest will be progressively enthusiastic to stretch its legs wheels. The first trip might be just a careful few meters, but plans for a more adventurous jaunt have just been revealed. The very first area in Interest’s sights is an area described as Glenelg, which, based upon preliminary images, delivers three different geological attributes, and also potentially being an area where water used to be present. The website is just 1,300 feet (400 meters) from where the rover landed, but it could still take numerous weeks to obtain there. This is merely a fast dash compared with the next leg of its journey, which sees Curiosity heading out to a location called Mount Sharp– a huge mound of layered rock which is intended to consist of visible geology possibly dating back millions of years. With seven kilometers (4.4 miles) lying between the rover and the mountain’s foothills, it’ll be a much longer journey, however one that might supply the first genuine evidence of the world’s capability to host, or have actually hosted, life.

Target to stop carrying Amazon Kindle hardware due to ‘conflict of interest’?

Amazon Kindle Store down

Since Target stores began selling Amazon’s Kindle line back in 2010, the devices have always appeared to do well; the Kindle Fire was even the retailer’s best-selling tablet during Black Friday last year. It appears that’s about to change, however, with a source telling us that the company is going to stop carrying the line of products due to a “conflict of interest.” According to an internal Target memo we’ve received, the company will be removing Amazon hardware from its locations starting this month. Certain accessories will remain in stock, but shipments of Kindles themselves will cease as of May 13th.

A quick search through Target’s online store reveals that Amazon’s e-readers have already vanished from its listings, and the K…

Google Goggles now solves Sudoku, taking an interest in ads, clearly entering middle age

There are no surer signs of the apocalyptic onset of middle age than a preoccupation with puzzle-solving and an unhealthy interest in adverts and barcodes. And those just happen to be the three new features Google has added to version 1.3 of its Goggles software. The visual search application for Android is now intelligent enough to decipher tricky Sudoku puzzles (and thereby suck all the fun out of them), while its algorithms have also been tweaked to make barcode scanning “almost” instant. Popular printed ads will be recognized as well, taking you to a Google search on the relevant topic. US newspapers and magazines from August 2010 are being supported for now, but we can’t imagine the rest of the world should have to wait too long for this added convenience. Video of the new Goggles’ Sudoku skills after the break.

Verizon execs propose speed-based pricing for LTE data plans, say LTE has ‘drawn the interest of Apple’

Paying for data overage is the new hotness in the wireless biz, and Verizon was the latest to dive head-first into the nasty world of usage-based pricing for its wireless data plans just a few weeks ago. But how about paying for speed instead? Seems both outgoing Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg and CFO Fran Shammo commented today that the company’s shiny new LTE network could support charging different rates depending on the speed subscribers select — just like in the landline internet business — though they wouldn’t commit to implementing such a system just yet. Speaking of LTE, Seidenberg also mentioned that he “expects” Verizon’s first LTE phone to launch in February (likely the LG we saw or HTC’s Mecha, if we had to guess), coming in on the early side of its 1H 2011 plan — and what’s more, he’s saying more LTE-equipped devices will launch than originally anticipated. We certainly won’t complain about that.

On the undying topic of the iPhone, Seidenberg’s basically holding the same line he’s maintained for some time, which is that the companies’ “interests are coming together” and that the phone will come when “Apple thinks it’s time.” The gem, though, is that Seidenberg specifically says that Verizon’s adoption of LTE has attracted Apple’s attention and helped it score the iPad — and seeing how Verizon’s cobbled-together iPad / MiFi bundle doesn’t support LTE, we can only assume it was a peace offering to help the two companies come together and prepare to work together more closely down the road. Question is, just how soon would Apple like to play the LTE card?

[big debate] I knew this was a great gaming machine but my interest in…

Another World …games was starting to drop off. A friend was selling his A500 with a big collection of pirated games, he brought it round, set it up and I was moderately impressed. Then he loaded up Another World and I couldn't hand over the cash fast enough. It was this game that introduced me to the idea that gaming could move way beyond galaxians and simple…

Google’s driverless car drives interest in driverless cars (video)

Self-driving cars are hardly new. We’ve seen dozens of automatic vehicles over the years, many of which have seen advances driven (so to speak) by various DARPA challenges. But now that Google’s involved — whoa! — the mainstream media is suddenly whipped into a frenzy of hyperbolic proclamations about the future. Still, it is fascinating stuff to watch. So click on through if you like having your tech salad tossed with a side of smarmy TV-news voiceover. Trust us, it’s delicious.
