Google Earth adds detailed 3D imagery for Denver and Seattle, might not render the local Starbucks
Author: James Cliff
Google only launched detailed 3D maps in Google World for a handful of cities, however it’s branching out to provide that added measurement to a larger swath of the general public. Today, it’s Denver and Seattle: Android and iOS app users can right away see the dense, textured 3D City View in their respective western cities. The updates probably will not let Seattle homeowners locate their hometown coffee brand name without going into Street View, however it will let them thread the eye of the Room Needle while their good friends in Denver spin past the State Capitol. We just can’t assist however think that Google additionally delights in supplying some Microsoft staffers a little taste of what they’re missing out on.

Comcast switches on Skype on Xfinity in Boston and Seattle today, eight more metros this week
Author: Dave Adams
Now you can Skype on Xfinity, and beyond. Comcast’s re-branded cable arm is touting a new trick beginning today, with customers in Boston and Seattle among the first to have access to the new Skype on Xfinity videoconferencing service (Atlanta, Augusta, Ga., Chicago, Detroit, Harrisburg, Pa., Indianapolis, Miami and Pittsburgh will be online by the end of the week). Interested parties can add a $ 9.95 monthly fee to their Triple Play service to take advantage, enabling “free” (read: $ 10-per-month) instant messaging and video chatting services. That monthly fee will presumably cover the requisite all-in-one kit, which includes an adaptor, a “high-quality” camera and a spiffy new Skype-enabled remote control with an IM-friendly keyboard on the rear. Naturally, your bud on the other end doesn’t need any special equipment, unless of course they plan to chat through their HDMI-capable Comcast box as well. Eligible customers can hit up the source link past the break to sign up, and breeze through the attached PR for a bit more detail.

We Get It, You Can Video Edit: Seattle Supervillain Issues Second Threat To The City’s Fake Superheroes
Author: Eric Moss
Rex Velvet (who we will now only refer to as Mr. Mustache), Seattle’s pretend supervillain hellbent on taking down Phoenix Jones and the rest of his band of misfits (who don’t have full-time jobs that prevent them from having the time/energy to run around in costumes at night pretending to be comic book characters) has released another threatening video. This is that video. Listen guys: I’ve had enough — from both sides. Here’s what you do: I want all you asshats to get together in a public park and beat the shit out each other. And not just until there’s only one man standing either, I want zero men standing. And, just to make sure it happens, I plan on fire-bombing the park while all you idiots are going at it. MWAHAHAHAHAHA — the city will be mine!
Hit the jump for the nobody cares but you.

No Comments »Clearwire’s TDD-LTE rolling out in ‘early 2013,’ coming to NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, Seattle and more
Author: Charity Woods
Clearwire’s hardly throwing in the towel after that whole “WiMAX” thing; instead, the outfit has its sights firmly set on bringing TDD-LTE (Long-Term Evolution Time-Division Duplex) to the masses here in America, starting with an initial rollout in early 2013. A release put out today confirms that New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle will be among the 31 cities where the company will launch the aforesaid network, though there’s no breakdown on which of those metro markets will be forced to wait until “mid-2013″ to get served. Speaking of, Clearwire’s making no bones about the fact that “high demand hot zones” will be the ones targeted initially, and in a bid to outshine those LTE networks already live, President and CEO Erik Prusch is suggesting that his firm’s 4G network “will show that not all LTE networks are created equal.” Bold words, sir.

Amazon Incarnate: Bezos The Book Giant Is Planning A Store In Seattle
Author: Jamie Colby
According to GoodEReader, Amazon is planning to open a retail store in Seattle this year where they will sell Amazon-exclusive books and, more importantly, Kindles of all kinds. While this looks to be more of a pop-up retail presence than a fully-fledged store, if I were in publishing I’d be circling the wagons right now.
To be fair, Amazon’s own publishing offerings are pretty wonky so far. There haven’t been many runaway successes coming out of the house although Seth Godin and Tim Ferris will soon be bringing their own brand of publishing success and there are some interesting cross-cultural titles coming out. But that’s not why publishing has to worry.
The Kindle was Amazon incarnate, a way for Amazon to bring its online presence into the real world. A physical Kindle store – one that exists in a mall or popular area, even for a short period – is like the third coming. It’s basically a chance for Amazon to grab every else they have missed during the initial run up in Kindle popularity. We’re talking older folks, luddites, grumps, and folks who claim that “reading it in paper” is better. To have them walk up to a display of working Kindles, newly minted and displaying the latest Stephen King book, is the only way Amazon will convince them that going digital is the only way to go.
This will also encourage the movement from the agent-publisher-distributor model of book publishing into a direct to consumer model that Amazon will spearhead. By showing potential authors that they can get their books bound in handsome Kindle editions, they’ll be more likely to go that route instead of pounding fruitlessly against the gates of big publishing. It’s obviously a no-brainer to many of us, but old paradigms die hard.
As I said before, the Fire is Amazon’s Trojan Horse. However, rather than the wary hold-outs bringing in Amazon’s market by buying the fire, Amazon will bring the Trojans to their own branded stores.
The store will appear in Settle in the next few months and presumably be the first of a nation-wide roll-out. I suspect it will be a bit of a loss for Amazon but hopefully it will convert the last hold-outs to the benefits of ereading.

Fans Line Up At New Seattle Windows Store… For The Concert
Author: Sriram Reddy
This stuff writes itself. At the grand opening of a new Windows Store in Seattle folks were camping out for most of the night only to stream in, breathlessly ready to partake in the one exciting product Microsoft could offer – a free concert by the Black Keys.
I’m not here to bash Microsoft’s actual products but gosh darn it of their marketing guys aren’t incompetent. Remember the strange, proto-softcore porn launch videos for Windows 7? Remember the “PC Hunter” ads? Microsoft’s marketing department, barring events where the Black Keys play for free, just can’t get people excited.
We saw two or three great Microsoft Research products just last week, yet they have to sink to live music to draw a crowd? Sure, the company doesn’t need to impress anybody with gimmicky hardware and splashy ads, but can they at least try to plan out a store launch that would make folks line up for more than just the blues rock stylings of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney?

Microsoft Store in Seattle opening on October 20 with The Black Keys
Author: Jon Daniels
Microsoft’s new Seattle Store will open on October 20.
The new retail store will be housed in University Village and The Black Keys rock band will be on hand to perform a concert for lucky visitors to the store the following day. Tickets will be first come first serve and Seattle residents will be able to secure them by visiting the store on October 20 at 9:30AM. The concert will take place on October 21. Microsoft is also handing out $ 1 million in software grants to three local organizations. Customers can vote on Microsoft’s Facebook page to determine how the grants are split between TreeHouse, Washington STEM and the YMCA of Greater Seattle.
Microsoft’s Kevin Turner, chief operating officer, revealed recently that the company plans to expand its stores across the United States within the next few years. Turner showed off a map of the new stores dotted across the United States. Microsoft currently has 11 stores open in the United States. The software giant held a grand opening ceremony for its eleventh Microsoft Store recently. The store, located in the Westfield Century City mall in Los Angeles, California, was opened by Turner. Microsoft presented more than $ 1 million in software grants to local organizations as part of the grand opening ceremony in July.
Microsoft’s latest store in Seattle will see the company go head-to-head with Apple once more. Apple has a retail store in University Village too. Microsoft typically choses locations near to Apple Stores and has followed the same trend with Seattle.
Microsoft’s new 75 stores appear to be spread across the east and west coast of the United States. The company is rumored to be launching stores in New York and Orlando later this year too. The Microsoft Stores offer all of the Microsoft products found through online retailers and inside major retail chains, including keyboards and mice, Windows 7, Xbox 360 and many more products. Apple currently has 245 stores in the United States alone, and 357 total stores worldwide, including 33 in the UK and 22 in Canada.
