Game developer Glu, which makes the app Frontline Commando, is among the first to use Google's in-app subscription feature for Android apps. Image: Google Google launched in-app subscriptions for Android apps on Thursday, copying, and in some ways improving on, a model carved out by Apple. The feature is available to publishers and media companies, just as in Apple’s App Store. But Google is also makings its in-app subscription service available to any app that wants to use it. And that move is a win for game developers in particular, said Adam Flanders, the senior vice president of business development at San Francisco-based Glu. “In-app subscriptions allow us to offer entirely new types of products, things that just weren’t possible before,” Flanders told Wired. “This ...

Google and Android score another victory on Friday in their ongoing battle with OraclePhoto: kowitz/Flickr A federal jury has found that Google did not infringe on Oracle patents in building its Android mobile operating system. As part of its lawsuit against Google, Oracle had argued that in creating the Dalvik virtual machine — the software platform that runs Java applications on Android — the search giant knowingly lifted intellectual property involving two Java-related patents that Oracle acquired with its purchase of Sun Microsystems. But on Wednesday morning, the jury dismissed Oracle’s claims. Oracle purchased Sun, the creator of the Java programming language in August of 2010, and it filed suit against Google the following August, claiming both patent and copyright infringement. Initially, Oracle asserted seven ... Continue reading →
The current Google Doodle, a fully functioning web-based synthesizer in tribute to the late Robert Moog, prominently features a record button. Hundreds of cover songs are being recorded by users around the world using the Moog doodle. Here’s a sampling of some of the best — and geekiest — cover tunes recorded with the Moog Google Doodle, as seen Wednesday on YouTube. Daft Punk’s ‘Aerodynamic’ by Brett Domino The clear winner, so far, is the inspired cover above of Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” by Brett Domino. The video, too, is inspired, with multiple simultaneous shots of Domino raging at the keyboard, rushing to re-create the song’s uber-fast synth line in real time. Legend of Zelda Medley Several users are recording cover versions of various Zelda theme ... Continue reading →
The finger-tracking Leap. Photo: Leap Motion On Monday, Leap Motion wowed technology enthusiasts with a video of its new gesture-control platform. The video showcased a system of incredible speed and precision, but controlled demos can sometimes oversell a technology’s real-world capabilities. Would the Leap 3-D gesture device disappoint us during a real-world hands-on? No — far from it. We were somewhat surprised to discover the Leap is everything portrayed in the Leap Motion video. You can see everything we observed in our own video below. Like the Kinect, the peripheral tracks human body gestures, and translates this movement into corresponding motions on a video display. According to Leap Motion, its input device is 200 times more precise than Kinect or anything else on the market. ... Continue reading →
Outside an anti-internet rally staged at Citi Field for members of New York's Orthodox Jewish communities, Emkanah Schwartz pauses to explain his desire to see a "kosher internet" for his children and grandchildren. NEW YORK — If keeping dairy products separate from meat sounds like a pain, try cultivating a “morally kosher atmosphere” on the internet. That’s the challenge faced by Orthodox Jews, who recognize the internet’s place in the business world but shudder at the “filth” found online. That paradox brought more than 40,000 men from New York’s Orthodox Jewish community to an anti-internet rally Sunday at Citi Field to protest the “scourge of the internet,” the latest skirmish in the seemingly never-ending battle to keep the unclean horrors of the modern world at ...
