Strategic Sharing: Zipcar Leads $13.7M Investment In Campus Car-Sharing Startup Wheelz
February 22, 2012 – 8:25 am | No Comment

Well, you have to hand it to the strategy team over at Zipcar . Arguably the largest on-demand car-sharing network, Zipcar went public last year and not long after saw its market cap cross $1 billion . It’s since fallen back, and with collaborative consumption and the market for car-sharing heating up, the big players have to make moves. Zipcar has since forged a partnership with Ford, making it the largest provider of cars for Zipcar’s University program , and, in December, the company took a controlling stake in Spain’s largest car-sharing network, Avancar . Today finds Zipcar making another strategic move to get its mitts in fellow car-sharing companies, again with a focus on universities, whose students are among the most eager adopters of car-sharing models. What do I mean? The company today announced that it is a lead investor in the $13.7 million series A financing of Wheelz , a junior, university-focused version of itself.

Review: T-Mobile G2x (Optimus 2X)
April 21, 2011 – 1:09 am | No Comment
Review: T-Mobile G2x (Optimus 2X) Short version: Perhaps the most powerful phone on the market, the G2x is certainly impressive technically, but physically it’s uninspiring, and a lack of compelling HD and gaming content compatible with Android makes its greatest assets (large screen and powerful processor) underwhelming. And where’s my Gingerbread? Features: Dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor and 512MB of RAM 4″ 800

Microsoft Releases Photosynth For iOS
April 19, 2011 – 7:41 am | No Comment
Microsoft Releases Photosynth For iOS Microsoft’s Photosynth app for iOS is one of the few apps I will use on a regular basis. It’s essentially a photo-stitcher for iPhone that can create some pretty amazing panoramic photos. All you have to do is slowly move an iPhone, as directed on-screen, in a circular fashion around a scene you wish to capture. After briefly processing the series of photos, Photosynth will allow you to share the photo either on Facebook, Bing Maps, or on Photosynth’s site. It’s not perfect, but then again, it’s ...

Motorola Droid X2 Demoed On Video, Still Looks Exactly Like The Droid X Outside of the surprising removal of the camera button and an oh-so-subtle color tweak, the original Droid X and the thus-far unannounced Droid X2 are pretty much the exact same phone… on the outside. On the inside, however, it’s a whole different beast. The processor has been bumped from a single-core 1Ghz CPU to a 1.2 Ghz dual-core, RAM has jumped from 512 MB to 768 MB, and the screen resolution has climbed from 854

Lion will introduce new sharing options in QuickTime X When Apple came out with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, the company unveiled a whole new version of QuickTime Player (and also jumped a couple of version numbers in the process -- going from "7" to "X," or ten). The player component of QuickTime X was much sleeker than QuickTime Player 7, but lacked a lot of the added features that version 7 had (like Play Selection Only, Loop Back and Forth, etc). While it doesn't appear that ...

Skype for Android vulnerable to hack that compromises personal info If you didn't already have enough potential app privacy leaks to worry about, here's one more -- Android Police discovered that that Skype's Android client leaves your personal data wide open to assault. The publication reports that the app has SQLite3 databases where all your info and chat logs are stored, and that Skype forgot to encrypt the files or enforce permissions, which seems to be a decision akin to leaving keys ...
