Might your next, new video game system be a Comcast XI set-top box? Now rolling out in about half of its' national footprint, the X1 is a far more powerful device and platform than cable boxes ofyore. It is cloud connected for navigation and search features and (soon coming) remote DVR storage. And as first reported by Multichannel News, this Pace-built XI box also is capable of streaming videogames to your TV, to then be steered wirelessly with a tablet functioning as the game controller. ("Flinging" content from a tablet to the XI is also in the cards.) While not formally announced, Comcast's high tech group in Silicon Valley has released an app on iTunes that turns the Apple iPad into a game controller for the service, and some lucky…

Verizon will own its wireless business outright after agreeing Monday to pay $130 billion for the 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless owned by British cellphone carrierVodafone. The buyout, the second-largest acquisition deal on record, would give Vodafone PLC additional cash to pursue its expansion ambitions in Europe. Those ambitions include its push to buy up other cellphone providers and to expand into the lucrative world of mobile services. The deal would give Verizon Communications Inc. an opportunity to boost its quarterly earnings, as it would no longer have to share a portion of proceeds from the nation's No. 1 wireless carrier with Vodafone. It expects its earnings per share will rise by 10 percent once the deal closes. But the deal isn't expected to have much of an effect…

Where was my iPhone when I needed it in 1995? Paris was my destination, and a Los Angeles-based dress designer was my companion. Loralee's assignment? To visit a few famous fashion houses to try to get a gander at what these creative minds were cooking up for the fall season. Her mission? To capture some of those plans on her newly acquired spy camera. Yes, she was about to knock off legendary French designers and I had become her unwitting accomplice. I was a woman armed with an iMac and she was a woman armed with an illegal investigation tool. Mind you, Loralee is an incredible artist in her own right, but she has no tech mind whatsoever. The new device, which set her back nearly a grand, was complicated…

Much has been said about the high cost of ¡Phones, and many are using that as a reason why sales ofthe iPhone 5 might not have been as high as expected. Some also feel that too many older versions of the phone still being available for sale have also restricted the sales of the iPhone 5. Perhaps that leads into Apple's decision to begin a trade-in program just when the iPhone 5S is perched to go on sale. Noting in a statement that iPhones "hold great value," representative Amy Bessette announced a new program being launched that will help iPhone customers to bring in their older iPhone for reuse or recycling. They won't bejust "helping support the environment" though, as they will also "receive a credit for their returned phone…

In 1994 Dr. Ian Morrison ofthe Institute of the Future said, "By the year 2000, 98 percent of businesses will be on the Internet but only 5 percent will know why." We can paraphrase his prediction for social media. A Twitter article by Shea Bennett brought some interesting statistics to light: On average, companies only respond to 30 percent of feedback received from their social media sites (70 percent of feedback is ignored) 56 percent of all customer tweets to businesses are ignored Only 44 percent of customer question tweets are answered within 24 hours Only 25 percent of businesses include any call-to-action in their postings 39 percent of companies do not track social media responses at all. Based on that data, a lot of companies may have a social…

Officially, it's one of Intel's most closely held secrets. But hundreds ofyour Oregon friends and neighbors already have it. It's OnCue, a set-top box from a new division and Intel's first consumer product since the dot-com era. As early as this fall, against monumental odds, the company aims to break up cable TV's hold on American households and deliver subscription TV over the Internet. The chipmaker has been quietly testing OnCue with more than 1,000 of its Oregon employees this summer and is now expanding the trial to more workers. It hopes for a formal launch in a few cities later this year, provided - and this is a big caveat - it can line up programming from cable networks OnCue represents a dramatic departure for ilntel. Though its "Intel…

What do you associate with Apple these days? Innovation? Not so much as you might have once done, perhaps, although the cascade of the announcements at this summer's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) - including OS X Mavericks, ¡OS 7 and a new Mac Pro - may have gone some wayto redressingthat balance. Nonetheless, there has remained consumer, investor, and supposedly board member unrest over Apple's ability to come up with products new and exciting, which makes the next landmark in the Cupertino launch calendar-September 10-a particular one to anticipate. Ofcourse, we all knowjust how secretive Apple is with its product announcements -we're still flailing around for details on the long-rumored TV and watch projects that are seemingly never going to arrive - so one might be tempted to ask, "Where…
