Meet the Google iPad

Apple and Google, until recently friends and allies, are now fighting for the future of the Internet. They won’t occupy the same territory exactly: Apple will still design hardware; Google will still organize information and sell advertising. They have been complementary. But now they are competing to be our constant companion.

The two giants came into conflict over the mobile web; Apple (AAPL) with the iPhone and now the iPad, and Google (GOOG) with its Android operating system and Nexus One smart phone. But these are just skirmishes in the war to control the opportunities that will come when we are all connected to each other, all the time and everywhere.

Making the real-time Web relevant

(CNET) — If there is perhaps one universal truth about the Web, it’s that people want it now.

During the past 15 years, our expectations for how quickly information should be delivered to us over the Internet have changed. Now a delay of minutes on a breaking news story is unacceptable, as we saw during the frantic search for information in the hours after Michael Jackson died last year.

Porsche gives the Cayenne an electric boost

NEW YORK–The Porsche Cayenne may be one of the fastest SUVs around, but Porsche aims to make it one of the cleanest around, too, with its new hybrid system. Porsche unveiled the Cayenne S Hybrid at the 2010 New York auto show, a full hybrid capable of driving under electric power up to 35 mph.

Porsche gave the Cayenne a general update for the 2011 model year and added the hybrid version to the model line alongside the base model, S, and Turbo. Although the new Cayenne is almost 2 inches longer than the previous version, a de-emphasized grille and a more raked windshield give it a more compact appearance.

What Verizon iPhone users can expect

Rumors that the iPhone is coming to Verizon have been buzzing around the Web over the last day or so. So what should Verizon iPhone users expect when the device finally comes to the nation’s largest wireless network?

First, rumors of the Verizon iPhone are just that. There has been no confirmation from Apple or Verizon about the launch of this device. That said, there was never a question that AT&T’s exclusivity deal with Apple would end one day. The big question has simply been when. And considering that Verizon is the largest wireless operator in the U.S., it’s reasonable to guess that they’d be first in line when AT&T’s exclusivity with Apple ends.

A webmaster without the high-speed Web

(CNN) — Like a photographer without a camera, or a mechanic who doesn’t own a car, Kelli Fields is a webmaster without high-speed Internet access.

By day, the 42-year-old uses a broadband connection at work to update a university’s Web site, which she built and codes from scratch.

But when she goes home at night, the rural Oklahoman struggles with a dial-up Internet connection so slow, she does chores to pass the time while Web sites load. Her high school-age son is so fed up with the glacial pace of their Internet connection that he asks his mom to update his Facebook page from the office.

‘The Internet’ nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

If the Internet wins the Nobel Peace Prize, do we all get a trophy?

Several nominees for the prestigious 2010 prize, which was awarded last year to President Obama, surfaced on Wednesday in news reports. Among them: “The Internet” and, separately, several of the Web’s creators, including Larry Roberts, Vint Cerf and Tim Berners-Lee, who is pictured above.

If one of those guys wins, it’s pretty clear who would receive the award.

But if the Internet wins? No one seems to know what would happen then. Maybe give it to Al Gore?

Medco, Mayo Clinic study finds reduced hospitalization rates with genetic testing

ATLANTA – A simple genetic test can reduce hospitalization rates by almost a third for heart patients taking warfarin, the world’s most-prescribed blood thinner, according to a study released today by researchers from Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (in association with the Medco Research Institute) and the Mayo Clinic.

Announced at American College of Cardiology’s 59th annual scientific session, and due to be published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, it is the first nationwide prospective study examining outcomes when incorporating genetic testing into the management of warfarin as part of the usual care of patients.

Google might shut down Chinese site

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Google appears to be getting closer to shutting down its strictly monitored Chinese search engine, according to news reports.

The reports, which cited people close to the situation, indicate that Google advertisers in China are being advised to switch over to the rival search engine Baidu Inc., out of fears that Google could abandon the country.

The move would cap months of negotiations between Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) and the Communist government of China, home to one of the fast-growing Internet-using populations.

Apple iPad orders drop sharply

A rough three-day estimate, based on an analysis of order numbers: 152,000 units

After the initial burst of excitement on Friday that saw iPad pre-orders coming in at the rate of 25,000 per hour, there was a dramatic fall-off over the weekend.

According to Daniel Tello, the Venezuelan blogger-analyst who has been tracking order numbers submitted by volunteers at Investor Village’s AAPL Sanity board, orders on Saturday and Sunday slowed to an estimated 1,000 per hour.

Ex-Novell CTO takes Web leadership post

If you had any doubts that the iPhone must now be considered one of the world’s most important gaming platforms, this week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco will try to put them to rest once and for all.

For years, GDC, as it’s known, has hosted two days of “summits” early in the week, before the main keynote address and the bulk of the panels and sessions begin, including the longstanding GDC Mobile, which dealt with just about every issue a developer could want on mobile and handheld devices.

And this year is no exception. Starting Tuesday, the GDC Mobile/Handheld summit will begin, offering 18 discussions on things like “bootstrapping games on Android;” “Creating augmented reality experiences on Nintendo DSi;” “Social networks: The new marketplace for mobile games?” and more. There’s even one called “Get your iPhone game to 2,000 other devices.”

Best Buy is showing a MacBook Pro page with an Intel Core i7 chip logo. Is Best Buy trying to tell us something? Though undoubtedly a mistake, Best Buy may be telegraphing Apple products to come. The Web page is here as of 6:30 p.m. PST on Sunday. Intel Core i7 label appears on Best Buy page for 15-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple aficionados have been waiting patiently for Apple to update its MacBook Pro line with Intel’s latest and greatest Core i series of processors, including the mobile Core i5 and i7, which were rolled out at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.

CHIME airs “critical concerns” about EHR incentive program

ANN ARBOR, MI – The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives filed its comments regarding the EHR Incentive Program with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Friday. The comments address what the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based organization calls “critical concerns” regarding the proposed regulations that were unveiled on December 30, 2009.

The organization, which has 1,400 members representing chief information officers and other top information technology executives at many of the nation’s largest hospitals, coordinated efforts with other industry organizations, such as the American Hospital Association, to thoroughly research key concerns and reach a consensus on responses that provide guidance on how to successfully roll out the incentive program, said officials.

iTunes hits 10 billion downloads

Happy birthday, Johnny Cash. And congratulations, Louie Sulcer.

In a press release, Apple announced today that its iTunes Store had topped 10 billion song purchases and downloads. (Seems like only yesterday it was hitting 1 billion.) The 10 billionth song was Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way,” an early Cash song from his album “Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous,” and it was purchased by Sulcer, of Woodstock, Georgia. (By coincidence, Cash would have celebrated his 78th birthday tomorrow.)

For his impeccable timing (and, it must be added, terrific taste), Sulcer will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

Why Google Buzz will be a hit

Google Buzz, Google’s new social networking service announced this week, isn’t particularly original.

Just like Facebook and Twitter, it lets you share links, updates and media with friends. Even so, it’ll probably be a moderate success.

Google Buzz is perhaps the most generic “social sharing” service launched to date. Users can enable the service in their Gmail accounts to share status updates, photos, videos and more with the group of people they e-mail most often.

ASHIM officials said the survey’s purpose was to provide an early stage snapshot of the jobs activities taking place around health IT in the United States.
