Samsung Promise for September updates for Galaxy S GPS woes

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 07:08 PM PDT


AGPS capability on various versions of the Galaxy S -- including the Captivate and Vibrant released here in the US -- has been deeply hosed since launch, the apparent result of a bunk positioning server being used to associate towers to geographical locations. In practical terms, that's made apps like Google Maps nearly useless indoors and in urban canyons where line of sight to the birds up in orbit is dicey or impossible, and for European users where the phone's been out even longer, the wait's been an especially excruciating one. Fortunately, Samsung's finally come out with some concrete details on Twitter today, saying that updates are expected next month with "details and download to follow." No word for Euros specifically, but we imagine (er, make that "hope") they'll all be fixed around the same time.

State-owned China Mobile the world's biggest cellphone carrier and Xinhua, China's official state-run news agency, signed an agreement Thursday to create a joint venture called the Search Engine New Media International Communications Co.

Most of the Details of Droid 2 is already all over the internet might be leaked by someone close to Droid technology as it has been server with the Android 2.2 Built-in and so many useful software's.

Facebook Live Video Channel Arrived

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 06:37 PM PDT


Facebook the wide social media site has now launched a new application called Facebook live where you can stream your channel directly and live from anywhere this feature is now widely taking place as no such site offer this.

In a statement, the company says it will be using Facebook Live "to be your window into what's new at Facebook (Facebook)," including celebrity guests that stop by the company's HQ, demos of new features from employees and special events taking place (conceivably, things like the f8 conference).

It will be interesting to see how Facebook goes about promoting the feature. Might we see notifications in the News Feed when a big guest stops by the company's HQ? That would give the site an opportunity to aggregate some huge audiences around live video, though it remains to be seen if that's in the cards or if this is more of a PR move to make the company feel more personable.

Sophie Horn Francisco Rodriguez arrrested for assault. Filed in Daily Buzz News on Aug.12 2010.Sophie has become just about all girls wants to chew on these days, aside from fingers.

At seven inches tall, with lots of thin limbs, Sophie is also incredibly easy to latch onto, a crucial quality for Josie, who loves to use her hands, but hasn't quite sussed out the cause-and-effect pattern of loosening her grip.

Most of the people and especially sports lovers are looking for her on internet because they want to know more about the sexy lady.

Sophie Horn is a qualified personal trainer and the beautiful lady is currently writing columns in the UK golf magazine Golf Punk as "Golf Nurse". So if you want to know more about her you should read her columns.

After leaving university to pursue a career in golf, I wanted to fully dedicate myself to the sport and the training it demanded. Lifestyle and lack of exercise at University had made me become self-conscious and unhappy about my body.

I was determined and excited at the prospect of radically changing my physique as fitness and body condition was an imperative aspect of golf.

The Dung Beetle, invented by UK firm Shitfuel, is powered by human excrement. The gas tank is modified to hold as much crap as generated by a family of five after a meal at Applebee's, which is burned to generated electricity, as well as an odor that rivals Britney Spears' underpants.

New EPL Season Football Win The League

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 02:40 AM PDT


Martin O'Neill's belated resignation won't do Aston Villa any favours as it hosts the Avram Grant coached West Ham United. West Ham just escaped the relegation drop last season but will be looking to be more of a force this year.All very different yet important to me at one time in my life for one reason or another as you are as well.

The Premier League is an English professional league for association football clubs. At the top of the English football league system, it is the country's primary football competition.so this is probably your last chance to sign up to the EPL Offside Fantasy Football game, in which every week you'll be paired with another player and have to beat them (by scoring more points) and win the league.

I do feel we need one or two more players in forward positions .We are a possibly little bit lightweight not in terms of starting the season but to carry us through until the next window in January We are probably two bodies light in that position.

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 02:19 AM PDT


David Wright Miliband (born 15 July 1965) is a British Labour Party politician, who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for South Shields.the largest donation in July, revealed by the Electoral Commission yesterday, was to Ed Balls's energetic but struggling campaign. It came from Ken Follett, the thriller writer.

Whether you would like to contact me about a constituency problem, a political issue or if you are simply interested in finding out more about the work that I do, then I hope you will find this website useful.Traditionally people use hand held fan commonly called 'Pakhi' or 'Pankhi', to cope up. More or less same kind of hand held fan of a file has been used by British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.

The whole thing reminds me of the News of the World campaign to "out" paedophiles by publishing pictures of them on the front page, which led to many innocent lookalikes being attacked and beaten up by brutish vigilantes in proxy.

Britain's Top Police Officer Previously Admitted Was A “Prolonged Attack”

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 02:10 AM PDT


One of Britain's longest-running terrorism cases took a sharp turn yesterday when the Crown Prosecution Service announced that four Scotland Mr. Ahmad and his lawyers have maintained in British court hearings that the officers punched and kicked him, subjected him to a "life-threatening" neck hold, pulled his testicles and mocked his Islamic faith.

The decision came after nearly seven years of controversy in the case and appeared likely to further delay moves to extradite the man involved, Babar Ahmad, to the United States.London's mayor, Boris Johnson, who shares oversight over Scotland Yard with Britain's home secretary, then ordered a fresh inquiry into the case. The findings of that inquiry, headed by a retired judge, were sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.

The decision to charge the officers comes weeks after the CPS was widely criticized by politicians and the media for not charging a riot squad officer over the death of a man in violent protests during last year's G20 meeting.The CPS said while there was sufficient evidence to show Tomlinson had been assaulted, conflicting medical evidence meant that a prosecution case could not be proved beyond doubt.

Stephen Roger "Steve" Bruce (born 31 December 1960) is an English football manager and former player. The final countdown is under way for the new season. But Newcastle United and Sunderland still have valuable time to conclude what could prove important business.

He returned in time to play a key role in Gillingham achieving two draws against Everton in the FA Cup in 1984, attracting the attention once again of scouts from First Division clubs.Arthur Cox, manager of Bruce's beloved Newcastle United, expressed an interest in signing the player, but resigned from his job before any further action could be taken.

Bent performed fantastically in his first season since joining Sunderland from Tottenham Hotspur, tallying the third most goals in the Premier League with 24."It would be unfair to say that he (Welbeck) is the replacement for Kenwyne," added Bruce. "There's still a couple of weeks to go in the market and hopefully the money is there to go and spend it."

Dr.Laura Schlessinger is the #1 female radio talk show host on the air today

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 01:32 AM PDT


Schlessinger said on her website Wednesday that she was wrong in using the word for what she called an attempt to make a philosophical point.

A law enforcement official says the case against a suspected serial killer will be "methodical and thorough." Elias Abuelazam is suspected of stabbing 18 men in three states, most of them near Flint, Mich. He was jailed in Atlanta last night while attempting to fly to Israel.

A spokesman for the online whistle-blower WikiLeaks says it is preparing to release the rest of the secret Afghan war documents it has on file. The Pentagon has warned that would be more damaging to security and risk more lives than the organization's initial release of some 76,000 war documents.

Schlessinger married a dentist when she was 25, and had at least two extramarital affairs before they were divorced. Her first radio appearance was in 1974, as a caller on Bill Ballance's show in Los Angeles. She became a regular caller, and later a guest on Ballance's show, as he became her mentor in radio, and her first known extramarital affair.

As home values plunge and jobs vanish, divorce has become a luxury beyond the reach of some couples, who often don't have the cash to pay for a messy court battle. KFWB's Penny Griego & Phil Hulett ask Dr. Laura if this might be a good thing for couples.

However, Hodgson is well aware of Poulsen's qualities, having signed him for FC Copenhagen 10 years ago, and the player said: "I am feeling fit but of course it's a decision for the manager and the staff.

Sometimes you can see all the things that the papers or the press say, but at the end the only thing I can say is thank you to everyone in Liverpool because they supported me all the time, from the beginning until now.Roy didn't have to say that much because Liverpool is known all around the world, and for people in Denmark, Liverpool are the biggest club in England.

meteor shower tonight illuminate the sky

Posted: 13 Aug 2010 01:27 AM PDT


Meteoroid streams are caused by the debris of comets. The stuff of comets comes from interstellar space where the materials are assembled in the atmospheres of stars and in the dense molecular clouds of gas and dust between the stars.

Meteor showers are comet leftovers. As a comet approaches the sun, the sun's heat melts the ice, and the rocks and dust frozen in the comet fall out. They go nowhere however and remain in the comet's orbit. Comets are the solar system's worst litterbugs.

"Just after sunset in the western sky you will see the crescent moon. Next to the moon will be Venus, Mercury, Saturn, and Mars.

Then from 10 p.m. until dawn tomorrow we will have the annual Perseid Meteor Shower," Burns said "Look to the northeast after 10 p.m. The meteor shower should peak just before dawn."

The Perseid meteor shower is caused by debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle. Every 133 years the comet swings through the inner solar system and leaves behind a trail of debris.

According to NASA, the "shooting star" show will begin when planets alight at sundown. That is four celestial bodies Venus, Saturn, Mars and the Moon pop out of the western twilight in tight conjunction.

All four heavenly objects will fit within a circle about 10 degrees in diameter, beaming together through the dusky colors of sunset. No telescope is required to enjoy as it will be visible through the naked eye.
