An anonymous reader writes "Three days ago Facebook finalized their
[0]list of accepted ad networks for use within Facebook Apps; AdSense
being an (unsurprising?) omission from the list, stating that any missing
ad network had yet to agree to [1]the Facebook TOS. Facebook developers
were quick to point out the only losers in this cold-war between Facebook
and Google are [2]the developers themselves. Other devs go on to clarify
that the reputations of some of the accepted networks is [3]shady at best,
leaving developers with sub-par options to monetize their work on the
Facebook platform."

[0]greenerd writes "Researchers from the University of Central Florida
may have found the most efficient (and most bizarre) battery material yet
��� 'frozen smoke', also known as Aerogel. One of the world's lightest
solids, aerogel contains multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) which each
one several thousands thinner than human hair. The researchers, Associate
Professor Lei Zhai and Postdoctoral Associate Jianhua Zou, believe that
this material could soon become [1]the best energy storage material for

theodp writes "'Look, Dave,' said HAL. 'I can see you're really upset
about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress
pill and think things over.' Put a HAL 9000 in a baby's stuffed animal
toy, a toddler's EEG-equipped knit cap, or other interactive monitoring
device, and you've got the gist of IBM Research's just-published patent
application for its [0]Adaptive System for Real-Time Behavioral Coaching
and Command Intermediation. 'For example,' explains Big Blue, 'to help a
child who plays rough with other children the interaction data can
include multiple interaction operations that can be performed by the
interactive device for helping the child play less rough with other
children. For example, one interaction operation can include an audible
warning telling the child 'to play nice' in a strict tone of voice,
whereas another interaction operation can include an audible warning that
asks the child 'would you like someone to do that to you' in a softer
tone of voice along with a visual cue as well."

[0]Hugh Pickens writes writes "Adam Werbach writes that in July 2008
[1]oil prices reached $147 a barrel and suddenly energy prices and
alternative energy was on everyone's agenda but soon oil prices fell as
the economy faltered and people moved on to the more immediate concerns
of keeping their jobs and businesses alive. Now with [2]the possibility
looming of $200 a barrel oil, the US has a robust field of clean energy
technologies that are slowly coming online, from thinfilm solar to fuel
cells to cellulosic ethanol ��� unlike 2008, when it seemed like we were
starting our innovation engine from a cold start. 'In the last three
years, as oil prices have softened, we've seen stumbles as companies like
Applied Materials pulled back from the clean energy space because of
operational and market conditions,' writes Werbach. '2012 will be a rich
year for equity capitalizations, giving energy entrepreneurs the capital
they need to build infrastructure. Even with the draconian austerity
measures that are coming into effect across the country, [3]this is a
second opportunity for energy innovation.'"

Middle School, meaning they are either 12 or 13 years old, according. The

in addition to removing the 21 malicious applications from Android Market
that were downloaded 50,000 times, suspending the associated developer
accounts, and contacting law enforcement about the attacks, they are
[1]remotely removing the malicious applications from affected devices.
'We are pushing an Android Market security update to all affected devices
that undoes the exploits to prevent the attacker(s) from accessing any
more information from affected devices,' wrote the team on their blog.
'For affected devices, we believe that the only information the
attacker(s) were able to gather was device-specific (IMEI/IMSI, unique
codes which are used to identify mobile devices, and the version of
Android running on your device).' Google's actions come after numerous
complaints in tech publications. "Does Google really want its Android
Market to gain the reputation of being a [2]cesspool of malware?
'Certainly not,' wrote Nicholas Deleon in TechCrunch. 'But then part of
the allure of the Android Market is that it's open; you don't have to
play by Google's rules, per se, to get on there like you do with Apple's
App Store.'"

the move, given that everyone is suffering over a few people's illegal
actions. Copyright holders should target the individuals that are
distributing the infringing content via an established complaints
procedure rather than having the parent site banned. An estimated 600,000
Turks use the service to blog about anything from daily ramblings, to
hobbies, to keeping their readers updated with the news."
