Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology US-TECH Summary Reuters - Monday, January 4 Send IM Story Print Freescale takes aim at tablet computer market SAN FRANCISCO - Chipmaker Freescale Semiconductor Inc is staking its claim on the tablet computer market, an emerging product category that will generate plenty of interest in 2010. Although next-generation tablet PCs are scarcely evident on the market, the technology world is abuzz about their potential, as Apple Inc is expected to unveil its offering in 2010. Lenovo unveils ThinkPad design with AMD chips SAN FRANCISCO - Lenovo Group Ltd <0992.HK> is unveiling a new look for its classic ThinkPad line, and is including Advanced Micro Devices Inc <AMD.N> microprocessors in the laptops for the first time. The new ThinkPad Edge series, with a sleeker design, simplified keyboard and slightly larger keys, will come in three screen sizes, three colors and start at $549 in the United States. Technology not as advanced by 2010 as some had hoped NEW YORK - Despite iPods, genetic sequencing, the Internet and Twitter, nearly a third of Americans said they thought there would be more technological advances by the year 2010. Not everyone expected to be living like The Jetsons, the space age television cartoon series of the early 1960s, but the Zogby International survey of more than 3,000 adults in the United States showed many were less than enthusiastic about how far we have come by the dawn of a new decade. Tweets, sexting "unfriended" in U.S. banned word list KANSAS CITY - If you recently tweeted about how you were chillaxin for the holiday, take note: Fifteen particularly over- or mis-used words and phrases have been declared "shovel-ready" to be "unfriended" by a U.S. university's annual list of terms that deserve to be banned. After thousands of nominations of words and phrases commonly used in marketing, media, technology and elsewhere, wordsmiths at Lake Superior State University on Thursday issued their 35th annual list of words that they believe should be banned. Taiwan's Asustek to free up subsidiary by June - report TAIPEI - Taiwan netbook PC pioneer Asustek <2357.TW> has approved plans to simplify cutting investment in its subsidiary Pegatron, which could be listed in June, a newspaper said on Saturday. The company's board agreed to the plans on Friday for reducing its share in Pegatron, a fully owned contract manufacturing subsidiary, by June 1, a month earlier than anticipated, Taiwan's Commercial Times reported. Apple wins appeal over alleged iPod hearing loss NEW YORK - A federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected a class-action lawsuit seeking to hold Apple Inc <AAPL.O> responsible for possible hearing loss caused by using its popular iPod music player. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco affirmed a 2008 district court ruling that the plaintiffs failed to show that use of the iPod poses an unreasonable risk of noise-induced hearing loss. Nokia's latest patent strike on Apple a risk, but may pay off HELSINKI - Nokia's latest patent strike against Apple underscores the changing dynamics of the cell phone market, with the sector leader no longer holding the whip hand over rivals in terms of product development. But analysts believe the risks involved in stepping into a legal minefield to help make up lost ground, notably in the fast-growing smartphone market, could pay dividends given the huge stock of patents Nokia has built up as a founding father of the handset industry. Wide use of U.S. airport body scanners depends on Obama NEW YORK - The path toward rolling out wider use of whole-body security scanners in U.S. airports runs through the White House. The failed Christmas Day attack aboard a Detroit-bound U.S. airliner has created congressional calls for greater use of body scanners that advocates say would have detected non-metallic items such as the explosives an Islamic militant from Nigeria is accused of smuggling on board. AT&T asks FCC to set date to scrap old phone system NEW YORK - AT&T Inc <T.N> told U.S. telecoms regulators that it should set plans for phasing out older telephone networks if the government wants to make high-speed Internet access available across the country. AT&T, the original U.S. phone operator, described older voice-based "circuit switched" telephone systems and service as "relics of a by-gone era" in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission dated December 21. Google to hold Android event in early January SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc <GOOG.O> said it will hold a briefing about its smartphone business at its headquarters next week as rumors continue to swirl that the Internet search giant is preparing to sell a Google-branded device. The company emailed invitations to the January 5 event, which it described only as "an Android press gathering," to the media on Tuesday.
