- Who is Mike Wehrs? Well, as his business card states, he's the Mobility Division's Director of Technology & Standards. He also looks at emerging technologies. Among notable wireless consortia, he's Microsoft's representative for the Open Mobile Alliance, the GSM Association, and he's on the board of the CTIA. As a result, a lot of the business-level standards processes between vendors pass through him. |

- I förra veckan började Google erbjuda en alert-tjänst för Google News i betaversion. Man fyller i sökord i ett formulär och sedan skickar Google e-post när det dyker upp nya artiklar som svarar mot sökordet. Google News Alerts heter tjänsten och fyller ett hål som funnits sedan Northern Light, som hade utmärkta news alerts, gick i kvav. Roligt att Google åter kommer med lite nyheter vad gäller sökning. News Alerts kan man välja att få antingen en gång om dagen eller så fort nyhetsartikeln kommer in i Google News. |

- AFP via SpaceWar: Philippines investigators have yet to establish what triggered the failed military mutiny against President Gloria Arroyo, a member of an independent inquiry panel said Friday. The government has alleged that several hundred troops seized the Makati financial district on July 27 as part of a larger, well-financed plot by opposition figures to assassinate Arroyo and replace her with a 15-member junta. But after four days of testimonies by top security officials and the detained junior officers who surrendered after the 22-hour siege, the picture is incomplete, said Carolina Hernandez, a member of the commission formed by Arroyo to study the cause of the rebellion. |

- AFP via SpaceWar: Japan, the United States and South Korea are considering backing North Korea's entry into the Manila-based Asian Development Bank if Pyongyang ends its nuclear program, a report said Friday. The three nations aim to help North Korea abandon its nuclear ambitions by showing a readiness to support loans from international financial organisations, the mass-circulation Yomiuri Shimbun said. The move is also aimed at incorporating North Korea in the framework of the global economy and putting the reclusive Stalinist nation under international watch, it said, quoting anonymous US and Japanese sources. |
