U.S. looks to block AT&T, T-Mobile merger (Updated)
Both the New York Times and the Associated Press are reporting that the Justice Department is suing to halt the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile, citing serious competitive issues with the US $39 billion deal.
The complaint says "AT&T's elimination of T-Mobile as an independent, low-priced rival would remove a significant competitive force from the market, thus, unless this acquisition is enjoined, customers of mobile wireless telecommunications services likely will face higher prices, less product variety and innovation, and poorer quality services due to reduced incentives to invest than would exist absent the merger."
AT&T announced its desire to merge in March, and the proposal has drawn fire from consumer groups, lawmakers, and rivals like Sprint which has been urging the government to stop the merger.
AT&T and Verizon are the sole US sources for the iPhone, but rumors have mentioned Sprint and T-Mobile as possibilities.
Update: AT&T isn't giving up. As Engadget reports, Wayne Watts, AT&T Senior Executive Vice President and General Counsel, issued the following statement:
"We are surprised and disappointed by today's action, particularly since we have met repeatedly with the Department of Justice and there was no indication from the DOJ that this action was being contemplated. We plan to ask for an expedited hearing so the enormous benefits of this merger can be fully reviewed. The DOJ has the burden of proving alleged anti-competitive affects and we intend to vigorously contest this matter in court. At the end of the day, we believe facts will guide any final decision and the facts are clear. This merger will:
· Help solve our nation's spectrum exhaust situation and improve wireless service for millions.· Allow AT&T to expand 4G LTE mobile broadband to another 55 million Americans, or 97% of the population;
· Result in billions of additional investment and tens of thousands of jobs, at a time when our nation needs them most.
We remain confident that this merger is in the best interest of consumers and our country, and the facts will prevail in court."

Color Desker, Automated Wallpaper Changer
It is not as if there is a shortage of software to change the wallpaper regularly on the Windows operating system. I have probably reviewed a good dozen of applications that have been designed for that task in past years. This includes the desktop wallpaper changer Wally, Wallpapa or Wallperizer. Not to forget that Microsoft [...]
iPhone-controlled robot vacuum transmits photos of its work
You can do almost everything from your iPhone, so it was only a matter of time you could clean your home with it.
LG is set to demo its iPhone-controllable Roboking VR680VMNC robaotic vacuum cleaner at IFA 2011 this week. The Roboking sports three cameras and multiple sensors, which allow it to capture video and send it back to your iPhone over your home's Wi-Fi connection. You can then use the video to select which areas you want Roboking to clean first.
According to SlashGear, the Roboking can also act as a sort of robotic sentry, streaming live video of your home to your iPhone so you can see what's going on while you're away. The Roboking VR680VMNC launches in Korea this fall for the equivilant of US$800. No word on when the device starts cleaning up America.

Adblock Plus developer pokes holes in Mozilla's new add-on performance tests
Rather surprisingly, it turns out that Mozilla's numbers could be significantly wrong -- and if they're not wrong, the factors that Mozilla uses to tabulate an add-ons final score should definitely be made more transparent.
In the first set of tests, Palant shows that FlashGot's position in the top 10 is probably due to a fault in Mozilla's testing setup, and that add-ons can perform very differently depending on which operating system they're being tested on. In the second analysis, Palant uncovers an irregularity that doesn't seem to have an obvious cause -- but it could be due to an I/O bottleneck on Mozilla's test machines. Basically, even though performance testing of Read It Later is disabled because of a bug, it still (somehow!) manages to record a 14% slow-down on Windows 7.
Palant concludes both analyses by scolding Mozilla for going public with the performance data before its testing methods had been confirmed accurate. It definitely looks like Mozilla has been more than a little reckless, considering the importance of Firefox's add-on ecosystem.

Global Businesses are in Need of Translators and Translating Tools
In today's global marketplace, the translation industry is burgeoning. U.S. companies may have multiple international clients with whom they need to communicate effectively.
The
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that businesses and corporations who actively
seek quality translators and translation services, both human or automated.
Recently, a number of entrepreneurs have begun founding translation businesses
to help a range of small to large corporate organizations. They may demand a
range of services, from completing government grant applications to better
communication with their clients in other countries.
Linda Richardson, for instance, built a new translation business, which hires
freelance translators and web designers on contract. They then help businesses
join the international market. Her company also creates multilingual websites
to facilitate and improve company communications in other languages, according
to the Post-Gazette.
Richardson herself does not speak fluent Spanish. She told the paper, "I
speak English and business development."
Businesses may contract out their translating work or use translation programs to facilitate their moves into global markets. Of the translators available in the U.S., 26 percent are freelance and hired on a case by case basis, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They may depend on a combination of dictionaries, online translation tools and linguistic research to support their work.

Misspelled banners and signs may push consumers and clients away
Whether they are hand-written or printed, signs, banners and billboards serve as the public face of a business or individual. A good review of one's grammar and spelling can keep one from making signs that might turn consumers and clients away.
The example of a banner that a resident assistant at a California-based college hung in a dorm, which was posted on passiveaggressivenotes.com, highlights the importance of spell checking one's writing. The hanging read, "Let's Make This Qaurter The Best!" The effect on students, understandably, may have been less than inspiring.
In another example of egregious misspelling, which was recently submitted to spellingfails.com, a roadside billboard for a school features a photo of smiling, enthusiastic children. The large letters of the "ABC Chilren's Academy" frame them, possibly turning away parents looking, ostensibly, for a school that teaches proper spelling. Elsewhere on the site one can find a photo of a handwritten sign at a store, which announces the advent of a new material altogether - "Suramic Cookware."
Professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs should perform a spelling and grammar check before they create a sign or billboard. Even if their banner is handmade, they can ensure that they don't offer up their carelessness for public consumption with a quick, painless entry of their text into a word processor.
