The End of 'Cheap Food'?

2012-10-29T17:36:00.001-07:00

From the end of World War II until now, most nations have enjoyed plentiful and relatively inexpensive food supplies. But now, according to the well-known futurist think tank Global Business Network, that era may be ending.

GBN cites the near doubling of corn prices on the world market in the past year as evidence that this trend has already begun. Factors that are driving up prices include increased demand by the growing world population, as well as the growth of Asian economies. The latter is significant because, as economies prosper, meat consumption increases... and with it, the need for livestock feed. Increasing consumption of bio-fuels will stress grain supplies even further. Throw global warming into the mix (crop yields can fall by up to 5% for every 0.9 degree F rise in temperature) , and the stage is set for possibly much higher food prices worldwide, shortages, and ultimately, mass starvation in the poorest countries.

Writes GBN's Gwynne Dyer, PhD, 'In the early stages of this process, higher food prices will help millions of farmers who have been scraping along on very poor returns for their effort because political power lies in the cities, but later it gets uglier. The price of food relative to average income is heading for levels that have not been seen since the early 19th century, and it will not come down again in our lifetimes.' [Emphasis added]

5000 Android Apps

2012-10-27T09:15:00.001-07:00

Google's Android Market now offers more than 4,900 applications for smartphones powered by the Android mobile operating system, according to the web services giant's vice president of engineering Vic Gundotra.

Speaking Wednesday at Google's annual I/O developer event in San Francisco, Gundotra said Android users have downloaded an average of more than 40 applications per user, adding that Android smartphones are now second in the U.S. in mobile web browsing, behind Apple's iPhone.

5000 apps is a pretty good number. We (Movaya) are about to launch our first premium app in the Android Market next week so we'll see how that goes.

Tweet Land, un alocado juego de carreras donde los tweets ponen la diversión

2012-10-24T18:38:00.001-07:00

Hablar de videojuegos es hablar de mundos virtuales donde lo que ocurre queda desconectado del mundo real. Sin embargo, ¿y si los acontecimientos del mundo real condicionaran lo que sucede en un juego? A esta pregunta tenemos una respuesta: Tweet Land. Una propuesta curiosa, desarrollada en Costa Rica, que llegará a la App Store dentro de poco.

Bajo este nombre nos encontramos un juego de conducción donde nuestra carrera se verá eventualmente alterada por tweets en tiempo real. El juego criba diferentes mensajes de esta red social y nos va creando diferente obstáculos que debemos ir superando: la caída de un meteorito que cae del cielo, que nuestro conductor conduzca como si estuviera borracho, un accidente de coche…

También nos dará algunas ventajas claro, convertirnos en un helicóptero o en un tanque, que nos servirán para allanar el camino. El objetivo: llegar lo más lejos posible y sobrevivir a los cientos de tweets que complicarán nuestro viaje. Una idea divertida y bastante original, sobre el papel.

Como podéis ver en el vídeo, Tweet Land nos traerá un simpático apartado gráfico que apuesta por la estética pixel y un cierto aire retro. Una combinación bastante acertada ya que, a pesar de intentar recordarnos a juegos clásicos, no olvida en qué año estamos: las animaciones están muy bien conseguidas y el aspecto general no es añejo.

Tweet Land debutará en la App Store el próximo 31 de Enero a un precio de 2 dólares (1,50 euros al cambio). El juego contará con una versión gratuita de prueba para quienes no quieran pasar por caja previamente. Sobre la llega a otros sistemas operativos, de momento no hay nada confirmado pero, esperemos, que desembarque tarde o temprano en Android y Windows Phone.

1 Million Android-based G1's Sold

2012-10-22T19:49:00.001-07:00

According to FierceWireless, T-Mobile USA has sold more than 1 million of its Android-based G1 devices during the past six months.

The figure was apparently 'buried' in Deutsche Telekom's earnings report. According to the German carrier's report, the G1 accounts for two-thirds of all of T-Mobile USA's 3G handset sales so far.

Initial sales of the G1 are certainly a lot smaller in comparison to Apple's iPhone. Apple sold around 3.7 million iPhones during the two full quarters after the device's launch in the summer of 2007. Keep in mind, however, that T-Mobile USA has less than half the number of subscribers than AT&T so on a relative basis, it's doing OK.

Introducing Google Play

2012-10-15T11:05:00.001-07:00

[This post is by Kenneth Lui, Android Developer Ecosystem. —Dirk Dougherty]

For more than a year we've been focused on expanding the reach, content, and monetization opportunities of Android Market. We started by extending the store to users on the web and then went on to add books, movies, and music. The number of people who have visited, registered, and downloaded from the store has been amazing.

Today we're launching Google Play, an integrated destination for apps, books, movies, and music, accessible to users on Android devices and to anyone on the Web. As part of this launch, Google Play replaces and extends Android Market — users everywhere can now find their favorite apps and games in Google Play, with other digital content, all in one place.

We believe that with a strong brand, compelling offerings, and a seamless purchasing and consumption experience, Google Play will drive more traffic and revenue to the entire ecosystem.

We'll be investing in the brand to bring Google Play to as many people as possible, and we'll also invest in the latest digital content to keep Google Play fresh, relevant, and engaging. Apps and games remain the core of Google Play, so we'll continue investing in new ways to connect users with their favorite apps, and developers with new customers.

As we grow and promote Google Play around the world, we'll be marketing your apps and games at the same time. Our policies have not changed and our goal is still the same — to create a great, open marketplace for distributing Android apps.

Google Play is built on the same infrastructure as Android Market, so the transition for users and developers will be seamless. Users can sign into their existing accounts with the same credentials as before and purchase content using the same payment methods. As a developer, there's no change needed to your published products and you can continue to use the same publishing tools to put your app in front of hundreds of millions of Android users. If your app was in Android Market yesterday, it's in Google Play today.

We'll be rolling out Google Play to devices in a phased OTA update, starting today and continuing over the days to come. With the update, the Android Market app will upgrade to the Play Store app and the Music, Videos, and Books apps will upgrade to Play Music, Play Movies, and Play Books. This update is for devices running Android 2.2 or higher, and users on other devices will continue to have the same access to your apps as before.

You can start sending customers to your products in Google Play right away. Check out the updated "Get it on Google Play" badges and look for an email with more details on the transition. In the meantime, you can check out the Google Play web site at the link below and join the discussion on +Android Developers.

New Social APIs in Android ICS

2012-10-14T14:50:00.001-07:00

[This post is by Daniel Lehmann, Tech Lead on the Android Apps team. — Tim Bray]

[We're trying something new; There's a post over on Google+ where we'll host a discussion of this article. Daniel Lehmann has agreed to drop by and participate. Come on over and join in!]

With Android Ice Cream Sandwich, we set out to build software that supports emotional connections between humans and the devices they carry. We wanted to build the most personal device that the user has ever owned.

The first ingredient in our recipe is to show users the people that they care about most in a magazine-like way. High-resolution photos replace simple lists of text.

The second ingredient is to more prominently visualize their friends' activities. We show updates from multiple sources wherever a contact is displayed, without the need to open each social networking app individually.

Android is an open platform, and in Ice Cream Sandwich we provide a rich new API to allow any social networking application to integrate with the system. This post explains how apps like Google+ use these APIs, and how other social networks can do the same.

A few basics

Since Eclair (Android 2.0), the system has been able to join contacts from different sources. Android can notice if you are connected to the same person and different networks, and join those into aggregate contacts.

Essential terms to understand throughout the remainder of this post are:

RawContact is a contact as it exists in one source, for example a friend in Skype.
Data rows exists for each piece of information that the raw contact contains (name, phone number, email address, etc.).
A Contact joins multiple raw contacts into one aggregate. This is what the user perceives as a real contact in the People and Phone apps.
A sync adapter synchronizes its raw contacts with its cloud source. It can be bundled with a Market application (examples: Skype, Twitter, Google+).

While users deal with contacts, sync adapters work with their raw contact rows. They own the data inside a raw contact, but by design it is left up to Android to properly join raw contact rows with others.

Contacts sync adapters have a special xml file that describes their content, which is documented in the Android SDK. In the following paragraphs, we'll assume this file is named contacts.xml.

The Android SDK also contains the application SampleSyncAdapter (and its source code) that implements everything mentioned in here in an easy to understand way.

High resolution photos

In Android versions prior to Honeycomb (3.0), contact photos used to be 96x96. Starting with ICS, they now have a thumbnail (which is the 96x96 version) and a display photo. The display photo's maximum size can vary from device to device (On Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, it is currently configured to be 256x256, but expect this to vary with future devices). The size as configured can be queried like this:

private static int getPhotoPickSize(Context context) {    // Note that this URI is safe to call on the UI thread.    Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(DisplayPhoto.CONTENT_MAX_DIMENSIONS_URI,        new String[]{ DisplayPhoto.DISPLAY_MAX_DIM }, null, null, null);    try {      c.moveToFirst();      return c.getInt(0);    } finally {      c.close();    }  }

This value is useful if you need to query the picture from the server (as you can specify the right size for the download). If you already have a high resolution picture, there is no need for any resizing on your side; if it is too big, the contacts provider will downsample it automatically.

Up until now, pictures were written using a ContentValues object, just like all the other data rows of the raw contact. While this approach is still supported, it might fail when used with bigger pictures, as there is a size limit when sending ContentValues across process boundaries. The prefered way now is to use an AssetFileDescriptor and write them using a FileOutputStream instead:

private static void saveBitmapToRawContact(Context context, long rawContactId, byte[] photo) throws IOException {      Uri rawContactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, rawContactId);      Uri outputFileUri =          Uri.withAppendedPath(rawContactUri, RawContacts.DisplayPhoto.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);      AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = context.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(          outputFileUri, 'rw');      FileOutputStream stream = descriptor.createOutputStream();      try {        stream.write(photo);      } finally {        stream.close();        descriptor.close();      }  }

For best results, store uncompressed square photos and let the contacts provider take care of compressing the photo. It will create both a thumbnail and a display photo as necessary.

This API is available on API version 14+. For older versions, we recommend to fallback to the old method using ContentValues and assuming a constant size of 96x96.

Update streams

The API for update streams is the biggest new addition for contacts in Ice Cream Sandwich. Sync adapters can now enrich their contact data by providing a social stream that includes text and photos.

This API is intended to provide an entry point into your social app to increase user engagement. We chose to only surface the most recent few stream items, as we believe that your social app will always be the best way to interact with posts on your network.

StreamItems rows are associated with a raw contact row. They contain the newest updates of that raw contact, along with text, time stamp and comments. They can also have pictures, which are stored in StreamItemPhotos. The number of stream items per raw contact has a limit, which on the current Nexus devices is set to 5, but expect this number to change with future devices. The limit can be queried like this:

private static int getStreamItemLimit(Context context) {    // Note that this URI is safe to call on the UI thread.    Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(StreamItems.CONTENT_LIMIT_URI,        new String[]{ StreamItems.MAX_ITEMS }, null, null, null);    try {      c.moveToFirst();      return c.getInt(0);    } finally {      c.close();    }  }

When displayed in the People app, stream items from all participating raw contacts will be intermixed and shown chronologically.

The following function shows how to add a stream item to an existing raw contact:

private static void addContactStreamItem(Context context, long rawContactId, String text,      String comments, long timestamp, String accountName, String accountType){    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();    values.put(StreamItems.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);    values.put(StreamItems.TEXT, 'Breakfasted at Tiffanys');    values.put(StreamItems.TIMESTAMP, timestamp);    values.put(StreamItems.COMMENTS, comments);    values.put(StreamItems.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);    values.put(StreamItems.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);    context.getContentResolver().insert(StreamItems.CONTENT_URI, values);  }

You can also specify an action that should be executed when a stream item or one of its photos is tapped. To achieve this, specify the receiving Activities in your contacts.xml using the tags viewStreamItemActivity and viewStreamItemPhotoActivity:

<ContactsAccountType    xmlns:android='http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android'    viewStreamItemActivity='com.example.activities.ViewStreamItemActivity"    viewStreamItemPhotoActivity='com.example.activities.ViewStreamItemPhotoActivity'>    <!-- Description of your data types -->  </ContactsAccountType>

Update streams are available on API version 15+ and are intended to replace the StatusUpdate API. For previous versions, we recommend that you fall back to the StatusUpdates API, which only shows a single text item and no pictures.

"Me" profile

Ice Cream Sandwich is the first version of Android that supports the "Me" contact, which is prominently shown at the top of the list of the new People app. This simplifies use-cases that used to be a multi-tap process in previous versions — for example, sharing personal contact data with another person or "navigating home" in a navigation app. Also it allows applications to directly address the user by name and show their photo.

The "Me" profile is protected by the new permissions READ_PROFILE and WRITE_PROFILE. The new functionality is powerful; READ_PROFILE lets developers access users' personally identifying information. Please make sure to inform the user on why you require this permission.

The entry point to the new API is ContactsContract.Profile and is available on API version 14+.

Add connection

Previously, connecting with users on a social network involved opening the respective social networking app, searching for the person and then connecting ("Friend", "Follow" etc.). Ice Cream Sandwich has a much slicker approach: When looking at an existing contact in the People application, the user can decide to add this person to another network as well. For example, the user might want to follow a person on Google+ that they already have as a contact in Gmail.

Once the user taps one of the "Add connection" commands, the app is launched and can look for the person using the information that is already in the contact. Search criteria are up to the app, but good candidates are name, email address or phone number.

To specify your "Add connection" menu item, use the attributes inviteContactActivity and inviteContactActionLabel in your contacts.xml:

<ContactsAccountType    xmlns:android='http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android'    inviteContactActivity='com.example.activities.InviteContactActivity'    inviteContactActionLabel='@string/invite_action_label'>    <!-- Description of your data types -->  </ContactsAccountType>

Be sure to use the same verb as you typically use for adding connections, so that in combination with your app icon the user understands which application is about to be launched.

The "Add connection" functionality is available on API version 14+.

Contact-view notification

High-resolution pictures need a lot of space, and social streams quickly become outdated. It is therefore not a good idea to keep the whole contacts database completely in sync with the social network. A well-written sync adapter should take importance of contacts into account; as an example, starred contacts are shown with big pictures, so high-resolution pictures are more important. Your network might also have its own metrics that can help to identify important contacts.

For all other contacts, you can register to receive a notification which is sent by the People app to all sync adapters that contribute to a contact whenever the contact's detail page is opened. At that point, you can provide additional information. As an example, when the Google+ sync adapter receives this notification, it pulls in the high-resolution photo and most recent social stream posts for that user and writes them to the contacts provider. This can be achieved by adding the viewContactNotifyService attribute to contacts.xml:

<ContactsAccountType    xmlns:android='http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android'    viewContactNotifyService='com.example.notifier.NotifierService'>    <!-- Description of your data types -->  </ContactsAccountType>

When this Intent is launched, its data field will point to the URI of the raw contact that was opened.

These notifications are available with API version 14+.

Summary

With Ice Cream Sandwich, we improved key areas around high resolution photos and update streams, and simplified the creation of new connections.

Everything outlined in here is done using open APIs that can be implemented by any network that wants to participate. We're excited to see how developers take advantage of these new features!

LG presenta el Prada 3.0

2012-09-18T20:35:00.001-07:00

LG Electronics y la firma de moda Prada han presentado de forma oficial el LG Prada 3.0. Además, lo han hecho a lo grande, contando con el actor estadounidense Edward Norton y la modelo canadiense (aunque de origen ucraniano) Daria Werbowy como caras visibles de la campaña publicitaria, para la que el fotógrafo británico David Sims ha capturado unas elegantes fotografías en blanco y negro.

En cuanto a las características del terminal, el comunicado de LG no da muchos detalles, aunque podemos saber más en la web oficial del terminal. Allí se asegura que combina el estilo de Prada con la tecnología innovadora de LG y presume de tener una de las pantallas táctiles más grandes (4,3 pulgadas y 800 x 480 píxeles) y brillantes (800 nits) del mercado.

También sabemos que el LG Prada 3.0 incluye un procesador de doble núcleo a 1 GHz, 8 GB de memoria interna y una cámara de fotos trasera de 8 megapíxeles con autoenfoque y flash LED. El Prada 3.0 que corre sobre sistema operativo Android en su versión Gingerbread, aunque con una interfaz propia completamente personalizada.

Su diseño es sencillo, elegante, con predominio de las líneas rectas y en la parte trasera muestra el patrón típico de Prada junto a su conocido logotipo. Entre lo más destacable está el grosor del terminal que es de sólo 8,5 milímetros.

Los compradores de este exclusivo terminal podrán adquirir una base de carga a juego, una amplia gama de fundas y un auricular Bluetooth. Tampoco se dice en el anuncio oficial cuál será el precio del dispositivo, pero podemos estar seguros de que no será en absoluto barato.

Handy Recovery Herramienta para recuperar archivos borrados

2012-09-10T19:32:00.001-07:00

Nos hemos propuesto traer al blog una serie de herramientas útiles para la recuperación de datos, particiones y ficheros luego de que nos ocurra un accidente informático de los que solemos conocer: infección por virus, borrado de un archivo por error, vaciado de la papelera de reciclaje con archivos que no debíamos borrar, formateo del disco, entre otros.

Handy Recovery es el primer candidato de nuestra lista, un programa que te permitirá de manera sencilla recuperar archivos eliminados del tipo descrito anteriormente, incluso si has eliminado la partición y has vuelto a instalar windows podrás posiblemente en unos sencillos pasos recuperar tu carpeta de documentos u otra información que no pudiste salvar. Esto claro está, en dependencia del uso que le has dado a tu disco duro y al tiempo atrás en que hayas borrado estos archivos, porque en dependencia de si esos datos están disponibles es que se hace efectiva la recuperación, mientras más reutilices tu disco duro menos probabilidades de recuperación, con este y con otro soft, la recuperación de datos es una tarea que se puede tonar tediosa y larga,en dependencia de la cantidad de información y los tamaños de nuestros discos.

La empresa productora de Handy Recovery vende el producto a 49 dólares, pero nos lo deja probar en una versión trial por 30 días, período en el cual podrás recuperar 1 archivo diario, esta es la parte triste de la versión, cuando existen otros software que en un versión de pruebas son un poco más bondadosos.

Handy Recovery tiene una interfaz sencilla y amigable, no hay que ser un experto para recuperar tus archivos eliminados, solo tienes que buscar en la unidad de disco que le indiques e ir recorriendo la lista de carpetas y ficheros los cuales podrás ir marcando para recuperar. El programa tiene una opción búsqueda de archivos por máscaras lo cual te facilitará el trabajo así como una vista previa de los archivos que vayas seleccionando.

Resumiendo no esperes milagros del programa pero sino eres un experto por aquí podrás comenzar a recuperar los archivos que borraste por algún accidente.

iPhone Game Review - Parachute Panic

2012-09-09T19:53:00.001-07:00

I was poking around the iTunes AppStore this week and took a $.99 chance on a recently launched game from FDG Entertainment called Parachute Panic.

This fun casual game requires you to successfully land a host of parachutists into passing boats while trying to avoid obstacles such as helicopters, U.F.O´s, sharks and thunder clouds.

The game play is reminiscent of the vintage Nintendo Game & Watch handheld parachute game that I used to love to play back in the early 80's.

The game has very cool hand drawn graphics, smooth animations, catchy music and awesome sound effects. The game has been getting good reviews in the App Store and I have to agree - it is very well done and lots of fun.

Check out a video of the game here.

The only slightly negative comment I will make is that this game is not easy. It takes a little while to get used to the controls and even after mastering the techniques, the action picks up fast and furious. My 7 year old lost interest pretty quickly as it was too hard, but personally, I love the game, and for a buck it's well worth it. Click here to get it now.

New Sales Reports on Google Play

2012-09-02T07:59:00.001-07:00

[This post is by Debashish Chatterjee, Krishna Atkuru, and Ellie Powers of the Google Play Publisher Site team. —Dirk Dougherty]

For app publishers, complete and timely sales reporting is incredibly useful for managing a business on Google Play. Today we are introducing a new financial tool — Estimated Sales Reports — to give you visibility over ongoing product sales and help you support customers between payout cycles.

The new sales reports show you complete transaction details of recent sales and refunds for all products in your developer account, including both in-app products and paid apps. Each report is a cumulative for the current payout period, updated nightly with the details of recent transactions. As customers complete purchases and their accounts are charged (or refunds are applied), the new transaction details are appended to the Estimated Sales Report. Depending on account timezone differences, transactions appear on the estimated sales report within 2 days of completion. Finally, at the close of the monthly payout cycle, the current Estimated Sales Report is archived and a new report is created for the next cycle.

You can access current or past sales reports from the "Merchant Reports" section of the Developer Console. The Estimated Sales Reports are downloadable CSV (comma-separated values) files, so you can analyze the data using any tools you choose, in the same way as you've been doing for payout reports. The sales reports list the same details as payout reports — buyer and order, product, device information, amount, currency of sale, and more — except without final payment details. This makes it easier for you to reconcile recorded sales against your actual payouts. Estimated sales reports are available with data starting February 1, 2012.

We've also taken this opportunity to rename our existing "Merchant Sales Reports" to Monthly Payout Reports, to better reflect their content.

Together with the application statistics introduced last month, the Estimated Sales and Monthly Payout Reports give you a more complete view of your products' download and sales activity over time. We hope you'll find them useful. As always, please feel free to give us feedback through the Developer Help Center.

UK Government Envisions a Grim Future

2012-08-29T21:00:00.001-07:00

In trying to analyze future threats to Britain's armed forces, the UK Ministry of Defence has created a chilling future scenario of global instability and devastating weapons.

Taking into account familiar threats such as global warming and the growing population in political 'hot spots' such as the Middle East, the study also notes threats such as:

Self-directed weapons that need little or no human control

Implanatable information chips wired directly to the brain

'Flashmobs' that could be mobilized instantly by criminal or terrorist groups

A revival of Marxism and other radical political movements

The continued growth of militant Islam

Much of this instability will be driven by declining resources coupled with increasing numbers of people living in cities.
