Report: 7-inch Google tablet coming in July

6 hrs.

Last December, Google chairman Eric Schmidt told an Italian publication that the company would ship an Android-powered tablet "of the highest quality" within the next six months. Now a report suggests that a 7-inch tablet, co-developed by Google and Asus, will be hitting shelves in July.

The report comes from DigiTimes ??a tech industry?site known for vaguely sourced reports which don't always pan out ? so we're taking things with a hefty serving of salt, of course.

But where there's smoke, there's often fire?? and there are certainly several signs pointing to a summer release for the mysterious Google tablet.?NPD DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim previously told CNET that this mobile device was in the works and that a production run was "slated for April" (which would put a shipping date into the early summer).

There aren't many details about the tablet though. Shim suggested that it "will have a 1280x800 resolution 7-inch display," previous reports explained that it will be priced?between $149 and $249.?

That's about all we know for now. Well, that and the fact that whatever happens, the Google tablet will have an uphill battle trying to?win customers away from the top-selling?iPad, and the current Android leader, Amazon's?Kindle Fire.

Want more tech news, silly puns, or amusing links? You'll get plenty of all three if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts, or circling her?on?Google+.

(AP) ? A hurricane warning has been issued for the coast of Mexico as Bud approaches land.

The warning was issued Thursday for Mexico's Pacific coast from Manzanillo northwestward to Cabo Corrientes. A hurricane watch and tropical storm warning also remained in effect from Punto Telmo to Cabo Corrientes.

Bud's maximum sustained winds have increased to near 110 mph (177 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says gradual weakening is expected to begin by Friday.

The storm's center is expected to approach Mexico's southwestern coast late Friday.

The hurricane is centered about 225 miles (362 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is moving north-northeast near 9 mph (15 kph).

Introducing: Akshat Rathi

This is a series of Q&As with young and up-and-coming science, health and environmental writers and reporters. They have recently hatched in the Incubators (science writing programs at schools of journalism), have even more recently fledged (graduated), and are now making their mark as wonderful new voices explaining science to the public.

Today we introduce you to Akshat Rathi (Website, Twitter)

Akshat is among the new breed of science writers who decided to do their magic with a pen rather than a test tube. He is a scientist and is currently completing his PhD in organic chemistry at the University of Oxford, UK. In July, he will be joining The Economist as the Richard Casement intern. He has written for numerous publications including Nature, The Economist and Chemistry World and keeps an attentive look at scientific progress made by India, his native country.

Akshat gladly agreed to answer a few questions for The SA Incubator as he prepares to take his big leap into the world of science communication.

Hello and welcome to The SA Incubator. How did you get into science and how did you get into writing? How did these two trajectories fuse together?

The only teacher in school that I did not trouble was probably a science teacher!

Seriously though, for as long as I can remember, I?ve been fascinated with how things work and science has been my favourite subject. When the time came to choose what to study at college, I opted to do chemical engineering because I liked chemistry and maths the most. It turned out that maths in chemical engineering was nothing like the kind of maths I enjoyed. So during my undergraduate studies I focused on my other love ? chemistry. Pursuing research opened a whole new world for me. Having a great organic chemistry teacher ensured that, by the end of college, I wanted to pursue a PhD in that subject.

I discovered my love for writing during my time in Mumbai as an undergraduate student. I started blogging in 2006, and the same year launched a college newsletter. Initially, I wasn?t sure why I enjoyed writing so much. As a high school student, I had never shown keen interest in writing essays. I only realised later that I did not enjoy being taught a language when the emphasis was mainly on fiction. Both my writing initiatives ? blogging and the newsletter ? helped me learn and enjoy writing through fact than fiction.

During my time at Oxford while pursuing the PhD, I had made it one of my goals to explore writing. But with a lot of lab work at hand, that task seemed too big to take on. So I decided to narrow it down and focus on writing about science. My first article was published in 2010 in the science blog of The Cherwell, a student newspaper. It was an exciting start partly because the story was about something I had been experimenting with.

What professional experience have you had so far?

After writing for a few student publications in Oxford, I went on to join the editorial board of the University?s science magazine, Bang!. In the latter half of 2010, I was invited to be the chemistry blogger at the Lindau Nobel laureates meeting and got an opportunity to write an article for Nature. This was followed by an internship at Chemistry World where, apart from research news, I had the opportunity to write about business, education, and policy. All that alongside researching the use of cannabis.

Since then I?ve done freelance writing for Chemistry World and The Economist.

Since your scientific background is in chemistry, many of your writings are related to the field. How do you go about communicating chemistry to a general audience?

My approach to communicating chemistry is that of any good journalist writing a science article ? find a great story, make it relevant and entertaining to the audience.

It?s interesting that you ask that question. It is true that, among all the sciences, chemistry features the least in popular writing. But I believe that it is a subject that probably has the most direct relevance to the general public (yes, more so than physics or even biology!). There are a lot of reasons that people quote for why chemistry doesn?t grab people?s attention, but my take is that not enough writers have championed the cause of promoting chemistry. This is something I?d like to do.

You do write about other topics not related to chemistry per se. How much of a challenge is it, for you as a writer, to dabble into a different field of science?

Being trained as chemist gives me only a small advantage because, even within chemistry, some research can be as different as physics is from biology. My approach, which I learnt from the rigours of graduate study, is to quickly analyse the information and use what is relevant. I only write about something if I understand it well. Things unrelated to chemistry need some additional effort, but, in the end, good science articles emerge from taking a simple, straightforward approach.

India is growing economically and it is pushing its science sector forward as well. This makes science communication increasingly important. How is science communication in India? What is being done and what, in your opinion, should be done in the future?

It is heartening to see the focus that science has received in India in the recent years. The media landscape hasn?t caught up to that frenzy though. From speaking to science writers in India, I understand that despite public?s appetite for science articles not enough gets published in the mainstream media. The media?s aversion to foster home-grown talent has meant that there are few science writers and fewer science magazines.

I have previously lamented about science news in Indian publications, and not much has changed since then (apart from the launch of Popular Science India). There needs to be better, more informed and non-syndicated science news in India. There are a lot scientific misunderstandings and myths in India. A Ben Goldacre-style column in a leading Indian daily would do a world of good to keep those at bay. Maybe something I can aim for!

Going back to writing, which story of yours do you like best?

It?s a story titled Get Real. Although it was published in a chemistry magazine, it was written with a wider audience in mind.

You will be joining The Economist as the Richard Casement intern shortly. It is notoriously hard to get into The Economist. What do you think did the trick for you and what advice would you give to future aspirers?

I was very pleased to hear the news. I am not sure what worked for me. Maybe I can ask my boss once I start.

After being shortlisted for the interview, I dedicated a couple weeks to preparing for it. That period was a lot of fun. I took the opportunity to familiarise myself with The Economist and kept myself up to date with science news, with a keen eye for good stories to pitch.

The interview was more like an informal chat. We discussed story ideas for that week?s edition of The Economist, the current science journalism landscape and the architecture of a good science article.

What are your hopes and plans after your internship? Do you intend to continue writing about science?

I have all intentions to keep writing. Being able to surround myself with new ideas and sharing them with an audience comes with a unique high. It is something that I haven?t experienced doing anything else.

Apart from writing about science, I would also like to explore writing for different genres. I am fortunate to be living at a time when science affects business, politics, international relations, and so much more. May be science writing would be a way into the wider world of journalism.

Thank you!

Inrix Traffic 4 for iOS helps drivers avoid traffic congestion and estimate arrival times (video)

Inrix Traffic 4 for iOS helps drivers avoid traffic congestion and estimate arrival times (video)

Love driving but hate traffic? We hear you, and so do the people at Inrix. While the company might not come to the forefront of your mind when you consider the crowded world of navigation solutions, Inrix is a significant player in the field -- even if much of its presence exists behind the scenes. The company collects and analyzes data points from nearly 100 million sources, and now it's putting that information to work with Inrix Traffic 4 for iOS. In addition to helping users avoid congestion brought on by road work, police activity, local events and traffic accidents, the app now provides drivers with optimal routes and estimated arrival times for their two most common destinations -- a feature that's somewhat reminiscent of Nokia Drive 3. Inrix also leverages its data analysis to provide users with ideal departure times and even estimate traffic congestion throughout the day based on historical information. What's more, commuters can now quickly provide these estimated arrival times and routes to loved ones and co-workers via text message or email.

While the basic version of Inrix Traffic 4 is free, you'll have the option of upgrading to a premium version for $24.99, which brings traffic camera information and allows you to add more than two common destination points. We're told that Android users will soon find these features work their way across the aisle, although Inrix isn't yet ready to give a specific arrival date. If you're curious to learn more about Inrix Traffic 4, just hop the break for a demo video and the full PR.

Tips To Protect Your Computer From Malicious Programs

Eset-Antivirus-SoftwareViruses and worms are programmed by discontented or malevolent software programmers. These computer programmers enjoy distributing out their malicious software to unsuspicious computer users. If you are like me might be wondering on how to protect your PC from virus and Trojans, spywares. Due to new viruses bombing our computer every single day and hackers using spyware programs keen to enter our computer to do identity theft, it has become essential to keep our computer with covers of protection. These days a huge quantity of virus protection software is available in the market. Get these useful computer software programs to protect your computer with eset promo code available at discounted rates.

Here we will discuss about some easy steps on how to protect your computer from viruses and other malicious programs;

Install Anti-Virus Software

You might be amazed to hear that 90% of all PCs are infected by some sort of virus for instance Trojan.

Basic function of virus is to damage your computer in such a manner that it may come to be nonfunctional.

Install a Firewall

Once your computer is clean against every virus, it is suggested to install Firewall. Firewall acts as a frontline against any possible threat coming to you however you are on internet. Every day, Hackers are demanding to breach our computer, and the Firewall is the finest guard against them.

Install Anti Spyware

Spywares are among the best tools that hackers use to breach our computer. Firewall, can only go as far as shielding your computer from Hackers manual hazard, but once Hackers uses any kind of Spyware it certainly become difficult for the Firewall to guard our computer. Spywares are employed best for identity theft, receiving your passwords, your banking account and so forth.

Run Anti-Virus and Spywares Periodically

?

Most of the anti-virus especially the one that I've listed comes with a scheduler. I suggest strongly, scheduling them weekly if not every day. It is essential to remember that most viruses can be removed deprived of permanently injuring your computer system. As well, most virus infections can be not permitted.

Following all these steps mentioned above will endure your computer intrusion free from hackers, spywares and viruses. Furthermore to protect your computer from being infested by viruses, you require doing another thing to save your computer running in upright performance all along. Some scrap files can be accrued when you do things on your computer. From time to time, it might be some temporal files. Do upgrade your antivirus software from time to time so that your computer can be secure efficiently.?

Social Media for Small Business - Geeks & Nerds Online

Should a small business care about social media,or are sites like Facebook and Twitter just a waste of time? With more and more people going online to compare products and services before deciding where to spend their time and money, the business that?doesn't?have at least a rudimentary online presence is turning potential customers away.

Current studies on Internet activity are delivering statistics like these:

  • About 4 out of every 5 who have internet access use the web to conduct research on products and services they plan to purchase
  • About 6 of every 10 businesses are certain they have gained customers by creating a company blog
  • Getting customers to come to you is about 62% less expensive than using advertising and other methods of going to them
  • 9 of 10 buying decisions today have been influenced by social interaction
  • Consumers trust the opinion of others they know (even if they only know the person online) more than they trust advertisements and company literature
You want customers, both present and potential, to see your offer as favorable and to take action towards accepting it?you want them to buy from you. Much of the influence you have over others, though, is about how they perceive you and your company. They need to believe you know what you are doing, that you back up your products or services and that others have gained from their business dealings with you. To wait for the consumer to put all that together on their own may mean that you attract few customers. The savvy business lets their particular abilities be known to all and easy to discover.

And social media is an excellent way to do that.

What is social media?

The first step towards an online presence is usually a website. Most small businesses need only a rudimentary landing page?a spot where potential customers can find basic information about the company. The primary things people want to know is what you do, where you are, hours you are open for business and how to contact you. That?s it. Those things should be evident and easy to find.

Unfortunately, may companies fall victim to the mistaken idea that they need a flashy or pretty site. The show becomes more important than the message, and the site ends up costing much more than it should but performs much worse than it should.

Beyond the company website

Having a website is fine, and most businesses would do well to have one. Even at its best, though, a website is like a billboard along the information highway. It announces your presence and invites people to contact you to find out more.

Social media, on the other hand, is vibrant and interactive. These internet tools?things like blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others?invite communication. And communication is good for you. It gets people talking about your business and recommending your skills to others. And that means more customers, appointments and orders. Social media messaging allows you to dialogue with those who have done business with you in the past and who may want to do business with you in the future.Used rightly, social media works.

How to get started

You probably already know someone who has the knowledge needed to get your company better engaged online. And don't think only young people know about social media, you may be surprised to discover many mature business leaders who have discovered the value of social media interaction and can help you put together a plan.

Don?t launch haphazardly, though. It is easy to start a free account online, but once you start broadcasting you are beginning to form the opinions of others about your business. You are ?branding? yourself. A smart first stop would be the local Small Business Development Center. Check the Small Business Administration website to find the office nearest you. They offer free and low-cost counseling to help grow businesses like yours. Their help can be invaluable.

There are three terribly important things you need to know before making your first post in social media:

  1. How will social media help increase the profitability of my business? How will it affect the bottom line?
  2. Who am I talking to? Who am I trying to reach via social media?
  3. What do I want them to know, and how do I want them to react?
Like all business decisions, your social media plan should align itself with your company mission and strategy. Otherwise, it may hurt rather than help your business. Think about the big picture first?and how social media can help. Then get connected and get involved. You may be happily surprised at how many customers later tell you they found your business online.

Strasburg hits 1st big league HR

Associated Press Sports

updated 4:57 p.m. ET May 20, 2012

WASHINGTON - Stephen Strasburg hit his first major league home run and struck out eight in five innings to carry the Washington Nationals past the Baltimore Orioles 9-3 Sunday.

Strasburg sent an 0-2 pitch from Wei-Yin Chen into the Baltimore bullpen in the fourth inning to put the Nationals ahead 5-3. After dusting off his home run trot and returning to the dugout, Strasburg responded to a curtain call by waving to the crowd of 41,918.

The hard-throwing Strasburg had five hits in 40 big league at-bats before Sunday. He singled and scored in the third inning, then followed a shot by Jesus Flores with one of his own in the fourth.

Known more for his pitching than his hitting, Strasburg (4-1) excelled at both. The right-hander allowed three runs, one earned, four hits and a walk in his first career appearance against Baltimore. He retired the last 10 batters he faced.

Since returning from elbow ligament replacement surgery last September, Strasburg is 5-2 with a 1.99 ERA in 14 starts.

Danny Espinosa also homered, and Bryce Harper drove in two runs and scored three to help the Nationals avert a three-game sweep by their regional rivals.

Chen (4-1) yielded six runs and eight hits in 4 1-3 innings and absorbed his first major league loss. The Taiwan native was vying to become the first Baltimore starter to begin his Orioles career with five straight wins since Jimmy Key in 1997.

The loss ended Baltimore's five-game winning streak and nine-game road run. The Orioles scored the game's first three runs but got only two hits after the second inning - both in the ninth.

Baltimore went up 1-0 in the first when Xavier Avery walked, advanced on a fly ball and scored on a single by Nick Markakis.

The Orioles added a pair of unearned runs in the second after Harper drifted from center to left field to chase down a wind-blown fly ball, then dropped it. Robert Andino drove in a run with a groundout and Avery added an RBI single before Strasburg struck out J.J. Hardy with two outs and runners on second and third.

Harper made amends in a three-run third. Strasburg singled, Espinosa doubled and Harper hit a liner to right that a diving Markakis gloved but lost when he hit the ground. The triple scored two runs, and Harper scored on a groundout by Ian Desmond.

Flores gave Washington a 4-3 lead with his first homer since Aug. 18, and that only served as a prelude to Strasburg's clout.

Desmond chased Chen with an RBI single in the fifth, and Espinosa homered with a runner on during a three-run eighth.

NOTES: Orioles C Matt Wieters, who had the day off after a night game, will have to wait until Monday to try and snap an 0-fror-18 slump. ... Tommy Hunter (2-2) takes the mound for Baltimore on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series against visiting Boston. ... Gio Gonzalez vies for his sixth win when the Nationals open a nine-game road trip Monday in Philadelphia. ... Avery got his first major league stolen base. ... Washington Capitals forward Jason Chimera fired a strike with the ceremonial first pitch.

If an airport limousine is hired in advance, a courteous chauffeur will be at their airport to welcome you and help you with your luggage through to the hotel or your destination. The individuals who are budget concerned can opt for hourly limo packages that are especially designed to fit everyone?s budget.

(AP) ? Trayvon Martin had marijuana in his system. He was shot through the heart at close range. George Zimmerman had a broken nose, bruises and bloody cuts on the back of his head.

The lead investigator wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter in the weeks after the shooting but was overruled.

These are among the details revealed in nearly 200 pages of documents, photos and audio recordings that were released Thursday in a case that has riveted the nation. Yet it's still unclear what exactly happened and whether it was racially motivated.

The evidence supports Zimmerman's contention that he was being beat up when he fired the fatal shot. At the same time, it bolsters the argument of Martin's parents that Zimmerman was profiling Martin and that the whole confrontation could have been avoided if not for Zimmerman's actions.

Many of the pertinent questions remain unclear: What was in Zimmerman's mind when he began to follow Martin in the gated community where he lived? How did the confrontation between the two begin? Whose screams for help were captured on 911 calls? And why did Zimmerman feel that deadly force was warranted?

Another opportunity for answers isn't likely to come until a hearing later this year in which Zimmerman is expected to claim the shooting was justified under Florida's "stand your ground" law. Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, didn't return a phone call seeking comment Thursday.

The evidence supporting Zimmerman's defense includes a photo showing the neighborhood watch volunteer with a bloody nose on the night of the fight. A paramedic report says Zimmerman had a 1-inch laceration on his head and forehead abrasion.

"Bleeding tenderness to his nose, and a small laceration to the back of his head. All injuries have minor bleeding," paramedic Michael Brandy wrote about Zimmerman's injuries in the report.

Whether Zimmerman was injured in the Feb. 26 altercation with Martin has been a key question. The 28-year-old has claimed self-defense and said he only fired because the unarmed teenager attacked him.

Zimmerman was not arrested for weeks because he invoked Florida's "stand your ground" law, which does not require a person to retreat in the face of a serious threat. He was released on bail and is in hiding while he awaits trial on a second-degree murder charge. He has pleaded not guilty.

Other evidence supports the contention of Martin's parents that Zimmerman was the aggressor.

The investigator who called for Zimmerman's arrest, Christopher Serino, told prosecutors that the fight could have been avoided if Zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement. He said Zimmerman, after leaving his vehicle, could have identified himself to Martin as a concerned citizen and talked to him instead of confronting him. The report was written on March 13, nearly a month before Zimmerman's eventual arrest.

He said there is no evidence Martin was involved in any criminal activity as he walked from a convenience store to the home of his father's fiancee in the same gated community where Zimmerman lived.

The lawyer for Martin's parents seized on the investigator's recommendation.

"The police concluded that none of this would have happened if George Zimmerman hadn't gotten out of his car," said attorney Ben Crump. "If George Zimmerman hadn't gotten out of his car, they say it was completely avoidable. That is the headline."

The release of evidence did little to clear up whose voice is screaming for help in the background of several 911 calls made during the fight.

Since first hearing the calls in early March, Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, has been unequivocal in saying that it was her son's voice on the tapes.

But Serino wrote in a report that he played a 911 call for Martin's father, Tracy, in which the screams are heard multiple times.

"I asked Mr. Martin if the voice calling for help was that of his son," the officer wrote. "Mr. Martin, clearly emotionally impacted by the recording, quietly responded 'no.'"

Zimmerman's father also told investigators that it was his son yelling for help on March 19.

"That is absolutely positively George Zimmerman," Robert Zimmerman said. "He was not just yelling, he sounded like he was screaming for his life."

Investigators sent all the recordings to the FBI for analysis. They were asked to determine who was screaming, and also if Zimmerman might have used an expletive in describing Martin. Prosecutors said in their charging documents that Zimmerman said "(expletive) punks" in describing Martin as he walked in the neighborhood.

But the analyst who examined the recordings determined the sound quality is too poor to decipher what Zimmerman uttered. In regards to the screams during the altercation, there also wasn't enough clarity to determine who it is "due to extreme stress and unsuitable audio quality."

The case has become a national racial flashpoint because the Martin family and supporters contend Zimmerman singled Martin out because he was black. Zimmerman has a Peruvian mother and a white father.

Two acquaintances painted an unflattering picture of Zimmerman in police interviews.

A distraught woman told an investigator that she stays away from Zimmerman because he's racist and because of things he's done to her in the past, but she didn't elaborate on what happened between them.

"I don't at all know who this kid was or anything else. But I know George, and I know that he does not like black people. He would start something. He's very confrontational. It's in his blood. We'll just say that," the unidentified woman says in an audio recording.

A man whose name was deleted from the audio told investigators said he worked with Zimmerman in 2008 for a few months. It wasn't clear which company it was.

The man, who described his heritage as "Middle Eastern," said that when he first started, many employees didn't like him. Zimmerman seized on this, the employee said, and bullied him.

Zimmerman wanted to "get in" with the clique at work so he exaggerated a Middle Eastern accent when talking about the employee, the man said. The employee told investigators that Zimmerman made reference to terrorists and bombings when talking about him.

"It was so immature," said the employee, who ended up writing a letter to management about Zimmerman.

Zimmerman's parents say he wasn't racist. They say he had mentored black students and had a black relative.

The autopsy says medical examiners found THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, when they tested Martin's blood and urine. A police report shows the 17-year-old had been shot once in the chest and had been pronounced dead at the scene. The autopsy says the fatal shot was fired from no more than 18 inches away.

In a police interview, Zimmerman's father, Robert, described the toll the case had taken on family members who also are in hiding because of safety concerns.

"It just seems like it's an avalanche and I'm standing at the bottom of it," Robert Zimmerman said.
