[Download - 986KB]. Apple is trying to extend its reach into the enterprise market, and allowing users to run multiple 'virtualized' copies of Mac OS X on its own hardware will further its efforts, according to one report. Apple currently provides Intel Mac owners with a means to dual boot various operating systems -- such as Microsoft Windows -- via its Boot Camp beta software, and plans to integrate third-party operating system support in its forthcoming Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard update. Enterprise customers are easier to manage, partition, create, modify, and maintain when compared to separate physical machines. That fact suggests that big business may soon adopt smaller numbers of much larger servers running multiple virtualized operating systems, rather than numerous individual servers linked together. Computerworld suggests that pressure will quickly build for the Cupertino-based company to support virtualization software capable of running multiple copies of Mac OS X on Mac systems.

Sharp complemented today's launch of its new AQUOS sets by introducing a new, high-end home theater. In contrast to most all-in-one kits, the BD-MPC70 is built to give avid movie fans every component needed beyond the TV itself. At the core is a hybrid Blu-Ray player and 1-bit digital amplifier: the single device both plays the next-generation discs at their native 1080p when linked through HDMI and powers any sound system linked through either the dual analog or digital outputs. The speakers bundled with the MPC70 are also designed to transcend other pack-ins, Sharp claims. A full 7.1-channel system puts out 175W of power, enough to drive the surround sound in any movie. The Japanese electronics maker will ship the entire assembly after its AQUOS sets arrive, delivering the combo for $8,339 on June 25th.

Its North American counterpart is possible but remains unofficial. GlobalTop plans to make its presence felt at next month's CeBIT expo by revealing the GPS HUD Speed Meter, a different approach to using GPS. The gumstick-sized adapter is designed chiefly to reduce the dangers of looking away from road to check vital information. Speed, headings, and other vital information about the car's progress are displayed on the windscreen instead of a separate display, keeping the driver's eyes fixed ahead. Onboard Bluetooth also sets up the Speed Meter as an impromptu GPS receiver, pairing wirelessly with a cellphone or other GPS devices to bring live mapping to handhelds with the right software. Full details should be available by the time the device is unveiled at CeBIT.

Exact launch plans are unknown but are likely to be handled through third-party companies that ship the GlobalTop's device under their own names. [via DigitalReviews.net]. A young startup named Shafetech has launched its first full line of computers, ranging from desktops to notebooks. The company claims that its systems distance themselves from others by shipping preloaded with Ubuntu Linux 6, providing easy access to the open-source OS without the often difficult barrier of installing software or drivers.

Systems are relatively expensive and include the Echo ($849), a 15.4-inch widescreen notebook with a base 1.46GHz Celeron M, 60GB hard disk and DVD/CD-RW drive; the system can be custom-configured with up to a 2GHz Core 2 Duo, a 100GB hard disk and a DVD rewriter. Desktops, in turn, begin with the $299 Apollo, driven by a 2.66GHz Celeron D and an 80GB hard drive. A 17-inch desktop replacement notebook and desktops based on the Core 2 Duo and Athlon 64 X2 are also available. Every system with a Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 system can be configured with a 64-bit version of Ubuntu to take advantage of their more advanced instruction sets. Systems also ship with a full year's warranty despite the relatively uncommon OS, the firm says.

All six of its systems are available today. [via Digg, pricing may be suspect]. Apple is the worst nightmare of consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers, according to streamingmedia.com, as the Cupertino-based company repeats its 'slow-wind-up' attack seen during the digital music revolution on cellular phones and TVs. With the release of the Apple TV and the forthcoming release of the much anticipated iPhone, Apple stands to seize market share from CE companies while expanding its reach into consumers' living rooms, according to the report. Apple successfully dominated the digital music arena, despite widespread criticism from skeptics, and its Mac OS X-based iPhone may seriously harm the manufacturers of other consumer-oriented devices when it ships in June. Venturing away from its familiar territory of headsets, Jabra has revealed its first dedicated speaker system.

Named the J5010, the system has been co-developed by Klipsch to play music from just about any portable music device: in addition to the typical 3.5mm headphone jack, Jabra's speakers have connections for both 2.5mm and mini-USB plugs -- ensuring that almost any cellphone can play its music from the 30-watt stereo. A source selector means that the two devices can hook into the speakers at once, Jabra and Klipsch say. A cradle keeps an attached device readily in sight while it plays.

Jabra hopes to ship the J5010 before the end of March for $149. [via Music Gizmos]. Mac OS X users are still slacking on security measures but Apple itself is warming up to improving its stance on security, according to independent researcher Kevin Finisterre -- one of two researchers to produce the Month of Apple Bugs (MoAB) website.

Finisterre and another, anonymous researcher released one bug in Apple's operating system or its bundled applications each day for an entire month, which spurred security updates from Apple in Cupertino as the company worked to repair the flaws. Finisterre says Apple's own attitude toward security was one of the primary reasons he and the anonymous security pro began the Month of Apple Bugs project. 'Try calling any Apple store and ask any sales rep what you would do with regard to security, ask if there is anything you should have to worry about?'

Finisterre said. 'They will happily reinforce the feeling of 'Security on a Mac? Retailer TigerGPS appears to have accidentally announced three new navigation products by Magellan. Forming a new Maestro line, all three have 4.3-inch, WQVGA (432x240) touchscreens, and other features such as SiRFStar III receivers and turn-by-turn voice direction. The base model is the 4000; the 4040 adds Bluetooth, text-to-speech and better NAVTEQ maps, as well as optional traffic data. The top of the line is the 4050, which bundles the traffic kit, and further introduces voice recognition.

The systems should ship in April for $370, $470 and $650 respectively. [via GPS Gazette]. Viacom today announced a breakthrough deal for Joost, the peer-to-peer TV service developed by the team responsible for Kazaa and Skype.

The new development will see some of Viacom's better-known videos make their way to the currently free Internet service, including shows from BET and MTV as well as complete movies from Paramount. The deal was made possible by the inherent nature of the system, which is ad-supported and stores no permanent copies on a viewer's drive.

The terms of the deal weren't revealed by either company, but the transaction is just one of multiple high-profile contracts coming in the next few weeks, a Joost spokesman said. The deal is the first Viacom has reached for freely available videos on the Internet since the firm failed to land a deal with YouTube and subsequently had over 100,000 copyrighted clips pulled from the website. Joost is currently running an invitation-only beta which began in January for Windows users and should be complete later this year. A Mac version of the beta appeared on Sunday. Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates will make a rare joint appearance at The Wall Street Journal's 'D: All Things Digital' conference this May. The two seminal figures in the development of the personal computer will jointly discuss the history and future of the digital revolution in an unrehearsed, unscripted, onstage conversation on May 30 with D co-producers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. Both executives have made multiple individual appearances at the conference, which will celebrate its fifth anniversary this year (and thus called 'D5'); however, this will be their first joint session at D, and a 'highly unusual event,' according to the WSJ press release.

Australian company Cylo's new mouse is the 3style, designed for those who need an extra axis of movement control. It can be used as a traditional two-axis mouse, but the jogwheel on top can rapidly scroll through a third, whether it be the progress bar in a video editor or the Z axis in a 3D renderer. The wheel can also be set to adjust any object under the cursor, such as a knob in a software mixing console. To left-click users push down on the wheel, whereas right-clicks are done with a squeeze, and the middle-click button is the wheel's dimple. A fourth control, the 'orientate' button, can be used to set the Y axis in whatever direction a user wants.

Cylo has just finished developing the 3style, so prices and release dates have yet to be established. Japan's Century has just revealed the Dolphin, a portable jukebox crafted specifically for wet environments. The aluminum body and the in-canal earbuds alike are completely immersible up to 3.3 feet, allowing most swimmers at the beach or pool to listen to music underwater.

The player is also handy for skiiers and any exercise in rain or snow, Century is keen to point out. An elastic band mount will keep the tube-like base unit attached to a swimming cap or a snowboarder's goggles, where it can run for up to 8 hours on a full charge.

A single model exists with 1GB of flash storage for MP3 or WMA songs transferred from Macs and Windows PCs, and currently ships in Japan for $107. [via Far East Gizmos].

The Japanese division of Maxell is about to launch three new webcams, the first from the company to be certified for Windows Vista. At the low end are the PM8 and PM9, which are fairly standard 0.3 megapixel (640x480) models, except that the 9 (pictured) has an unusual 'neck' which lets it swing out wide from its resting place.

The high-end PM10 sits at the top of a monitor, as with most webcams, but is graced with a 1.3-megapixel CMOS sensor and has autofocus capabilities. The cameras should be out in Japan tomorrow at an 'open' price, dictated by retailers. MediaDex 2.0 (Standard $50, Professional $80) serves as a central media repository enabling users to efficiently organize and reuse most types of digital media files.

The 17-inch portable is one of the few outside of Asia to support digital TV tuning and will pick up HD over-the-air broadcasts in DVB-T form -- including the 5.1 Dolby Surround audio on certain channels. The use of Vista Home Premium automatically transforms the desktop replacement into a personal video recorder for capturing favorite shows. Performance is strong to match, with either a 1.83GHz or 2GHz Core 2 Duo for a processor and a 256MB Mobility Radeon X1600 onboard for accelerating 3D and movies at the system's native 1680x1050. Weight is also less of a concern at a manageable 6.8 pounds, LG notes.

The new leader of LG's notebooks will be available soon in Australia for $2,600 US and should make its way to other regions that support DVB-T soon. [via Gizmag]. Record label EMI confirmed today that it has been approached for a possible takeover by the Warner Music Group, a move which could have serious ramifications for the future of digital rights management (DRM). While Warner has vehemently opposed the easing of DRM, recently proposed by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, sources have suggested that EMI might be the first major label to let third-party sites sell its music without any DRM whatsoever. An acquisition by Warner could effectively quash any such effort.

According to the Associated Press however, such concerns may be premature: an EMI statement reads that there is 'no proposal currently for the EMI board consider,' and likewise, a merger between the music groups of Sony and Bertelsmann was recently blocked by the European Court. The Court might well oppose a Warner-EMI merger due to monopoly concerns, since the combined company would control 25 percent of the worldwide market. LG is working on an updated version of its distinctive Shine slider, according to Czech site iDNES. Called the KE970, the updated version will boost the all-metal phone's Internet access to support HSDPA for connecting as quickly as 3.6Mbps. A VGA camera will also be hidden inside the display bezel to enable video calls on these faster networks.

Other changes will be slight but should involve 512MB of onboard storage to help store music and video without resorting to microSD cards. The 3G wireless edition of the Shine is expected to reach Europe by the second half of this year.

LG hasn't indicated whether or not it will bring a GSM version of the Shine to the US, though the standard 2G version is more likely. Wowza Media Systems today released Wowza Media Server, its high-performance alternative to Adobe Flash Media Server that enables the company says offers significant improvements in Flash streaming economics.

A new wireless USB modem from AnyDATA is claimed to be the 'smallest and fastest' in the world. The ADU-610 taps into UMTS and HSDPA phone networks, delivering 3G download speeds as high as 7.2Mbps, which is often faster than local cable service. Where networks are mired at 2.5G, speeds scale back to a more conventional 384Kbps.

The size of the modem meanwhile is small enough to fit on a keychain, coming in at 3.7 inches long and 0.4 inches thick. Other advantages to the 610 include support for 900 and 1,800MHz GSM networks, and an internal antenna and battery. The product is currently being sold in Korea through a national phone carrier, but should eventually ship overseas.

Porsche adds CarPlay to 2017 Panamera Porsche has added a fifth model of vehicle to its CarPlay-supported lineup, announcing that the 2017 Panamera -- which will arrive in the US in January -- will include Apple's infotainment technology, and be seen on a giant 12.3-inch touchscreen as part of an all-new Porsche Communication Management system. The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900.

Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the 'time to stand' notification to 'time to roll' and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users Twitter has introduced 'stickers,' allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph.

Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser.
