Further proving that security through (very, very light) obscurity isn’t a good means of
keeping things secret, a new beta version of Yahoo’s Mobile Front Page (generally known as
just m.yahoo.com) has been found hiding just one character away from the beta announced
to the public back in January.
Where as the public beta can be found at beta.m.yahoo.com, our tipster dug up the new version by
instead navigating to beta2.m.yahoo.com. Unfortunately, it seems we weren’t supposed to see
this just yet; within a half-hour of us reaching out to Yahoo! for comment, the page had become
password protected - but not before we snagged a couple screenshots.
The screenshots you’ll see below are what you’d see on an iPhone - on most other
handsets, the new beta will look more like the current standard mobile front page: white
backgrounds, light image use, etc. The visual changes of the iPhone version from the first beta
to beta 2 are somewhat minimal - at least, they’re much less extreme than the jump made
between the current m.yahoo.com and the first beta. They’ve decreased the gloss on the
gradients, but have rounded out the corners. They’ve also added in a spot for
advertisements above the fold, which I don’t remember being there before.
More notable than visual tweaks, however, is the addition of Yahoo’s oneConnect and
onePlace. oneConnect brings in the notifications and updates from your e-mail accounts (Gmail,
Windows Live, Yahoo) and social networks (Facebook, Flickr, Myspace, Twitter, Dopplr, and a bunch
of others), and allows you to update your status at all appropriate sites in one quick swoop.
onePlace is a similar all-in-one concept but for general information, squeezing together news,
weather, stocks, bookmarks, RSS feeds, and more.
Both oneConnect and onePlace were announced as downloadable applications in the first quarter of
2008, though it seems that an iPhone version of oneConnect is the only thing to have made it out
thus far. This is the first time we’ve seen a browser based version of either.
Oh - and if you’re curious as to what Yahoo had to say on the matter after they locked it
up tight: they’re “constantly working on innovations” but they have
“nothing to announce anytime soon.”
(I’ve removed a bunch of the status updates from image 2 to keep it from making this page
absurdly long. Click the image for the fullsize version.)

In addition to the release of iPhone Software 2.2 for iPhone and iPhone 3G, Apple has released the
“iPhone 2.2 Software Update for iPod touch,” containing a comparatively shorter list of
improvements. Notably absent in Apple’s changelog are references to improvements to the Maps
application, which on the iPhone and iPhone 3G has gained Google Street View, transit information,
and walking directions. Here is what Apple lists as improvements...
Sometimes there's that direct-to-video release that looks so ridiculous that you can't wait to get
your hands on it. That's how I feel about Roy Knyrim's DEATH RACERS, whcih features the Insane
Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. The movie gained enough interest that the LA Times took a trip
behind-the-scenes and brought us back some slick images. Read on to check 'em out. In a dystopian
future, contestants compete in a cross-country road race in which killing is part of the game.
At last, here it is, the Meizu M8 finished
product.
Is it just me or does the background music remind one of Zune ads? Got to admit the UI is
sophisticated and beautiful. Screen resolution of the Meizu M8 is crisp. The swiping touch
control is almost as amazing as iPhone’s. It’s one of the best Windows CE 5.0 device
we’ve seen here at PMPToday.
h4Fuel for your HD TV/h4 pstrongRound-up/strong Happy Christmas, the format war is over. Now that
Toshiba has abandoned HD DVD, Sony’s Blu-Ray has emerged as the new standard for
high-definition discs, and the millions of folk who've been watching ye olde standard-def TV
programmes on their HD TVs can go out and buy themselves a Blu-ray player safe in the knowledge
it's not about to become obsolete..../p
I know it;s a fad, but I don't think I'll ever get sick of companies pumping out retro posters.
Today After Dark Films released a new one sheet for Craig Singer's Perkins' 14, which will open in theaters
January 9th as part of next year's AFTER DARK HORRORFEST. The film revolves around the arrest of a
suspected murderer and the bloodshed that follows.
Mobile data and web use has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year or two. One new stat says
mobile data revenues are growing a
href="http://www.moconews.net/entry/419-ofcom-report-mobile-data-revenues-growing-five-times-faster-than-voice/"five
times faster than voice/a (albeit from a much smaller base), while Facebook recently said it has a
href="http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=38212737130"15 million active mobile users/a. Some
operators are trying to capitalize on this interest by deploying transcoders that take standard
desktop pages and transform them into something understood by more basic phones' web browsers and
that can be displayed on their small screens. That's all well and good, since users often complain
about the differences between the mobile web and the "real web", and their inability to surf the
same sites on their phone as they do on their PC, although the transcoders often do a pretty poor
job of making sites very friendly to mobile users. br /br / One way around this is for web
developers to create mobile-specific versions of their site, so they have more control over what's
presented to mobile users, and many use auto-detection so that both mobile and PC users can access
the relevant content at the same URL. So enter Verizon Wireless, with its a
href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20040701/1545223.shtml"long history/a of really grasping the
mobile web, which has now a href="http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=1837"deployed a transcoder/a. The
problem is that the transcoder breaks much of the auto-detection used by mobile web developers,
resulting in their work to create mobile sites being rendered useless for Verizon users, who are
then served a transcoded version of their PC site. Verizon and its vendor, Novarra, say the
transcoder partially follows a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ct-guidelines/"guidelines/a being worked
on by the W3C to cover transcoders -- the process for which started after another Novarra install,
at Verizon parent Vodafone, a
href="http://mobhappy.com/blog1/2007/06/06/vodafone-uk-doing-a-lovely-job-of-supporting-the-mobile-web-by-breaking-it/"caused/a
similar problems. It's worth pointing out that Novarra has a representative on the W3C committee
working on the guidelines, so they should be familiar with them. It's also worth mentioning that
Sprint rolled out a similar transcoder earlier this year, however, they responded to feedback from
the mobile web community and a href="http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=536"changed it/a to avoid
breaking auto-detection and other problems. br /br / On one hand, it's hard to get frustrated with
Verizon for finally taking some positive steps to make the entire web available to its mobile
users, even if transcoders don't always deliver the best results. On the other, it's particularly
annoying to see them think that the way to do this is to undo much of the work done by web
developers and content providers to make their content better for mobile users -- not to mention
it's disingenuous for Verizon and Novarra to suggest they're following the W3C guidelines, as not
only are they a work in progress, but forging user-agents and breaking auto-detection contravenes
them. In any case, for Verizon, it's hard to see how providing users with a lackluster mobile web
experience will help grow its data business. Frustrating users with poorly transcoded versions of
sites, rather than versions that have been thought through by developers for mobile users, seems a
poor choice. And if they really want to unleash the "desktop" web on their users, why not offer
them something that does a good job of transforming it for mobile, like better browsers such as a

MySQL GUI Tools is a suite of
graphical desktop applications for working with and administering MySQL servers. The suite
consists of three tools: MySQL Query Browser, MySQL Administrator, and MySQL Migration Assistant
(available only on Windows). We'll look at the first two to see how well they let us manage MySQL
without using the command line.
This is an interesting hack of a "voice changer" kit. I really like the sounds so far, and I
think know it can be hacked a lot more. It would be cool to stuff this in a project box and add a
few more hacking controls.
