The 404 423: Where we can't buy love
If you're even remotely interested in The Beatles, today's episode of The 404 is a must listen. CNET Audiophiliac Steve Guttenberg helps us out today for all things Beatles. To set it all up, Steve gives the three of us a lesson in how the band essentially shaped a decade of music and culture and how they became innovators in the way that bands record music. For example, did you know that it only took the band 4 hours to record and mix the song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?" Later on in the show, Steve tells us about how the Beatles used a vacuum tube-based machine to record their earlier albums and later switched to solid-state, with adverse affects to the low-end sounds. Lots more Beatles trivia on the show!We also talk extensively about the latest Beatles Remasters and whether or not they're worth the extra investment. Some claim that there are "near-miraculous improvements in the key areas of information retrieval, hidden details, expanded midrange, etc...," but Steve makes the argument that simply remastering doesn't necessarily improve sound quality. Check out the Audiophiliac blog for Steve's Beatles box set review coming soon, but in the meantime you can enter for a chance to win the entire remastered Beatles CD collection!EPISODE 423PodcastYour browser does not support the audio element.

Microsoft's online chief holds music search patent
Microsoft's online chief holds music search patent
The Seattle Post Intelligencer's Microsoft reporter, Joe Tartakoff, did a little digging on Tuesday to uncover exactly what kinds of patents Lu holds. Most interesting to me, one of them relates to music.Specifically, it describes a PC application that could take a snippet of a song or audio file, break it down into component parts, analyze them, and then recommend similar songs. It sounds superficially similar to what Shazam does, but the method is very different and more complicated. From what I can tell, Shazam simply takes a sound sample and matches it against a database with millions of audio files. Getting a fast result requires some fast data crunching, but there's not much deep analysis going on there. Lu's patent (shared with two other engineers) proposed breaking the song all the way down to very small components like measures and individual notes, analyzing those components to find patterns--for example, a repeated sequence of notes might be the refrain or chorus--and then analyzing the relationships among those parts. For instance, a pop song is typically constructed of several repeated verses and choruses, with a bridge somewhere in the middle. This is how the application would be able to identify and recommend songs that are similar to the song being played. Instead of Shazam, the end result might have been more like Apple's recently introduced Genius feature, which builds playlists of songs based on the song you're currently playing. I suspect that Apple's relying on data from all its iTunes users (Genius asks to collect data about your playing habits) and song meta data--for example, it often recommends songs by the same artist, or other artists in the same genre, or other songs released in the same era. That's much easier--both to program and for your CPU--than trying to analyze audio data for patterns.Lu received this patent in 2000, which means that he was probably working on it several years before that. Check it out.

Garmin debuts four apps for iPhone, Android
Garmin debuts four apps for iPhone, Android
Although technically one of the first GPS manufacturers to market a mapping app for portables with its Garmin Mobile 10 software for PDAs and Palm, Garmin has been notably absent from the smartphone navigation app marketplace as of late (discounting the aging and ridiculously overpriced Garmin Mobile for Blackberry). Today, Garmin jumps back into the fray, challenging apps from TomTom, Magellan, and Navigon with not one, but four of its own GPS-centric apps, including the new StreetPilot navigation app for iPhone and three new GPS apps for Android devices.The StreetPilot name hearkens back to the original Garmin StreetPilot GPS navigator announced at CES 1998. The app essentially brings all of the features that one would expect from a standalone Garmin Nuvi navigation device to the iPhone's touch screen, including a simple menu and map interface, turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech spoken street names, and graphic lane guidance. Because the app can take advantage of the iPhone's hardware and software, users also have access to free traffic alerts, address book integration, and access and control of their iTunes library. iOS 4 devices can also utilize multitasking to take phone calls while the app handles background navigation.The Garmin StreetPilot app is currently available in the iTunes App Store for $39.99.Joining StreetPilot is a trio of non-navigation GPS apps for iPhone and Android devices. The first is the free Garmin Tracker for iPhone and Android devices, which allows users to monitor the location of the also newly announced Garmin GTU 10 tracking device. Also available now is the free My-Cast Lite app brings local weather forecasts and radar monitoring to Android phones. Finally, available in February 2011 is Garmin's myMechanic app which will allow users to pair their Android phone to the Garmin EcoRoute HD module via Bluetooth for monitoring vehicle performance metrics such as horsepower or fuel efficiency./p>

Gameloft's top hits are its first apps ready for the new iPad
Gameloft's top hits are its first apps ready for the new iPad
Though many developers were initially tight-lipped about when they would release optimized games for the new iPad--now that the device is here--the news has started rolling in.Gameloft announced today that four popular games, Order and Chaos Online, Modern Combat: Fallen Nation, Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, and Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, are now optimized for Apple's Retina Display and ready for the new iPad.Coming from four different genres, the four games now updated for the iPad have already seen huge success in the iTunes App Store. Order and Chaos Online is an expansive MMO that strongly resembles Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Modern Combat: Fallen Nation is a first-person shooter with online multiplayer, and already looked great on older devices. Asphalt 6: Adrenaline is a 3D arcade racing game with tons of tracks and cars to unlock. The fourth game is Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, a 3D sandbox game where you complete missions to gain money and power in the dangerous underworld of Rio. Asphalt 6: Adrenaline is an arcade racer with pick ups, power boosts, and more that will look great with the higher resolution.Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNETWith only about a 10 days since the new iPad was announced, Gameloft probably didn't have time to optimize all of its huge catalog of games, but it seems the company wanted to get its most popular games ready as soon as possible for the new device.All four games are available now at the iTunes App Store. It's also important to note that Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation (along with several other Gameloft titles, but not including the other three listed here), is usually $6.99, but is currently on sale for 99 cents, as reported earlier today by Rick Broida.

Heads up Apple, here comes Samsung's 8-core chip
Heads up Apple, here comes Samsung's 8-core chip
Think Apple's A6 chip packs a punch? It appears to have some stiff competition from Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa, slated for commercial production in the second quarter, the company announced today.Featured in Samsung's Galaxy S4, Octa means it integrates a whopping eight CPU cores. Apple's A6 has two, by comparison.While a raw core count comparison may be too simplistic, Samsung's chip, on paper, should make Apple worry -- especially since Samsung is simultaneously manufacturing the Exynos chip and Apple's A6. Related storiesCNET's Galaxy S4 reviewThe Exynos 5 Octa uses technology from chip designer ARM called big.LITTLE.In other words, there are four "big" high-performance cores (up to 1.8GHz) and four "little" power-efficient cores (up to 1.2GHz), referred to as Cortex A15 and A7, respectively. ARM describes the Cortex A15 as suited for "heavy workloads," like gaming, and the Cortex A7 for doing more mundane workloads, such as managing operating system activities.And Samsung is giving the graphics processor a boost too. The Exynos 5 Octa "enhances the...3D graphics processing capabilities by more than two times over the Exynos 4 Quad," Samsung said in a statement. All that processing power is needed to drive the S4's high-resolution 5-inch, 1,920x1,080 display (that's 440 pixels per inch versus the iPhone 5's 326 pixels per inch for those keeping count).Other Exynos 5 Octa specs include: Very-high-resolution displays: Drives up to a 2,560x1,600 (WQXGA) display.USB 3.0:Uses an e-MMC (embedded multimedia card) 5.0 and USB 3.0 interface for fast data transfer speeds. Video hardware: Incorporates full HD 60fps (frame per second) video hardware. Camera:an embedded 13 mega-pixel 30fps image signal processor interface. Memory: 12.8GB/s memory bandwidth interface.

Heads up Apple, here comes 64-bit Android on Intel
Heads up Apple, here comes 64-bit Android on Intel
Apple's A7 chips will feel some 64-bit heat from Intel and Android next year.Intel is readying a 64-bit Bay Trail Atom platform for Android, according to Hermann Eul, Intel's general manager, mobile and communications group, speaking at the company's investor day on Thursday. "It's not only about Windows 64-bit, we've been talking about Android as well," Eul said. An assistant then proceeded to demo on stage "the first ever showing of a 64-bit kernel running on Bay Trail with Android." Eul continued."We have 64-bit Windows shipping next quarter and, needless to say, we'll run fast to make this happen on Android as well." Intel's Bay Trail processor -- which is currently powering a growing number of tablets and 2-in-1 devices from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo -- today is 64-bit but runs Windows 8.1 in 32-bit mode. That will be rectified next quarter when Bay Trail tablets run in full 64-bit Windows 8.1 mode. Today, Android on smartphones and tablets is a 32-bit affair.Apple garnered lots of headlines in September when it unveiled the 64-bit A7 processor -- that chip now powers the iPhone 5S, iPad Air, and iPad Mini Retina. A slide shown Thursday by Hermann Eul, general manager, mobile and communications group at Intel.IntelGoing to 64-bit allows a device to address more memory -- more than the 4GB limitation in many cases for 32-bit processors. But that's not all.A 64-bit platform can allow data-intensive applications to handle large chunks of data more efficiently than 32-bit -- and that can have implications in gaming, for instance. Intel won't be alone, though, making a run at Apple.A report earlier this month said Samsung will launch a flagship smartphone with a 64-bit CPU in 2014.

Heads up Apple, Android to make big gains in 2014, IDC predicts
Google's Android ecosystem will be breathing down Apple's neck in 2014, according to IDC, which offered predictions for 2014. Google Play/Android downloads and revenues "are making dramatic gains and the app ecosystem value gap will be significantly narrowed" with Apple in 2014, according to IDC.That was one of the predictions published Tuesday, among a bevy of predictions for 2014. Here's what IDC said:The mobile device onslaught will continue in 2014 with sales of tablets growing by 18% and smartphones by 12%. The Android community, led by Samsung, will maintain its volume advantage over Apple, while Apple will hold onto its value edge with higher average selling prices and an established ecosystem of apps.But Google Play (Android) app downloads and revenues are making dramatic gains and the "app ecosystem value gap" will be significantly narrowed in 2014. And the clock will be ticking louder for Microsoft, which needs to quickly double mobile developer interest in Windows.Bolstering all of this mobile activity will be a surge in spending on the cloud.Cloud spending will surge by 25 percent in 2014, reaching over $100 billion, IDC said."A pitched battle will be joined for the developers that can create the cloud-based applications and solutions that will fuel the market's growth," according to the researcher.And the bad news?The PC market ""will remain under stress," with worldwide revenues down 6 percent year over year.

HDTV maker Loewe surges, even as it nixes Apple rumor
HDTV maker Loewe surges, even as it nixes Apple rumor
An unconfirmed report that was ultimately dismissed by management isn't enough to turn shareholders off to German HDTV maker Loewe.The company's shares today are up 22 percent to 5.55 euros following rumors that it would be acquired by Apple as early as this week. AppleInsider, an Apple-tracking Web site, reported on Saturday that it had received a report from a source claiming Apple had offered a buyout deal for a slight premium on the company's stock price, and Loewe's financial advisers had "been advised" to take the offer.AppleInsider made it clear that it had been unable to confirm the claim, and said only that it was being shared "in the interest of discussion." Loewe quickly followed that up with a statement to German Web site Heise (Translate), saying that there was "absolutely nothing to" the rumor.Considering Apple's penchant for secrecy and its decisions in the past to keep acquisitions out of the spotlight, shareholders are seemingly not too sure they can trust the company's comments on the matter.For its part, Apple hasn't commented publicly on any plans to acquire an HDTV maker, let alone Loewe. In fact, the company hasn't even said whether it will build a television, despite countless rumors saying that it will.Just last week, Foxconn chief Terry Gou said in a news conference, according to China Daily, that his company is currently preparing its facilities for an Apple television, but "development or manufacturing has yet to begin."(Via Reuters)

Hacker of Apple iPad-AT&T site reportedly in plea talks
Hacker of Apple iPad-AT&T site reportedly in plea talks
A hacker accused of breaking into an AT&T Web site and stealing data of iPad users is negotiating a plea agreement a month after an alleged co-conspirator pleaded guilty, Reuters reported today.Andrew Auernheimer was indicted three weeks ago by a Newark, N.J., grand jury on one count of conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers and one count of identity theft. Auernheimer, who lives in Fayetteville, Ark., is free on bail. U.S. District Judge Susan Wigenton put Auernheimer's case on hold yesterday, saying "plea negotiations are currently in progress and both the United States and the defendant desire additional time to finalize a plea agreement, which would render trial of this matter unnecessary."Co-defendant Daniel Spitler pleaded guilty on June 23 to the same charges and faces up to 10 years in prison and $500,000 in fines. Spitler wrote a script called the "iPad 3G Account Slurper" and used it against AT&T servers a year ago to harvest e-mail addresses and associated unique iPad numbers, and plotted with Auernheimer on how to take advantage of the security hole, according to the U.S. Department of Justice office in Newark, New Jersey. In an interview with CNET last year, Auernheimer admitted that the hackers had compromised the AT&T 3G iPad customer Web site and released data on 120,000 accounts but said they did so with the intention of warning AT&T and protecting consumers. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman declined to comment to Reuters.
