Nokia - soon to come with apps A small company in London's Shoreditch, Ustwo, knocked up an application called MouthOff for Apple's iphone in a couple of weeks for a few thousand pounds. It mimics your mouth movements on a mobile when you talk. In its first month it sold 21,000 at 59p each, of which the company keeps 70%. It is one of more than 35,000 apps for the Apple store that has spawned an exciting new industry in the middle of recession. The question is, why is Apple the midwife for this new industry, and not Nokia, the Finnish giant that sells nearly 40% of the world's mobiles? The latter already has Forum Nokia as an incubator for ideas. It attracted 4 million developers, though most people would be hard pressed to name a single app that came from it.But Nokia has often missed out on trends only to come roaring back. Can it do it again? We will know soon because Nokia is launching its one-stop Ovi store this month to take on Apple. I visited Nokia's summit for developers in Monte Carlo.

XOXOXOX LUV TONIX.' Can you feel the love in that comment? If Richard Curtis had wanted the prime minister character from his film Love Actually to feel that love was all around, he could have visited MySpace rather than think of Heathrow Airport's arrivals lounge.To be more accurate, emotion is all around in MySpace. The majority of comments throb with emotion, and that cool aunty comment has a positive emotional strength factor of five. Which is as strong as it gets.That is, according to Professor Mike Thelwall, who is analysing hundreds of thousands of MySpace comments to understand how people use emotion when they communicate with friends in social networks, and whether there are good strategies for applying it.Thelwall heads the Statistical Cybermetrics research group at the University of Wolverhampton, the only team publishing academ GuardianSingle bidder pays $68,000 to sequence his genome on eBay Last week, we reported on an ongoing eBay auction for personal genome sequencing, analysis, and interpretation by Knome, Inc., a genetics company in Cambridge, Mass.

This amounts to slightly more than the total electricity generation of the African nation of Gambia for the entire year of 2006, - Most people are already aware that solid-state server and storage disks only use a portion -- as little as one-half or less -- of the electrical power that a spinning hard disk requires, simply because there are no moving parts that need energy to activate them.

MacworldNY Times Review of MiFi Cellular/Wi-Fi Gateway David Pogue adores the Novatel MiFi 2200: The tiny cellular gateway, which has a built-in Verizon EVDO Rev. A modem, sports a swappable battery and a tiny form factor. Pogue loves the notion that he can have a Wi-Fi hotspot on demand without any fuss of swapping in cards or hauling a large-format device. He found the device had about 4 hours of battery life in active use, but turning it on and off as needed can stretch it to a day. Standby is rated at 40 hours. Verizon's pricing is its usual awful level: $15 for 24 hours, $40/mo. for 250 MB per mo (10 cents/MB or $100/GB thereafter), or $60/mo. for 5 GB. Two-year contracts for subscriptions are required, but that discounts the MiFi to $100 with a rebate. A no-contract purchase is $270. I'll be more excited about the MiFi when it's bundled with WiMax or Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint get more realistic about the data people consume on 3G. Heck, the MiFi could be a multi-mode device and connect and extend Wi-Fi devices to your own private, wifinetnews.comFormer punk John Doe on P2P, music labels, Radiohead The founder of X and pioneer of U.S. punk scene, John Doe says technology is has been good for music but people should pay for songs they download.
