Is it us, or is the dream of a full Windows experience on low-power ARM tablets getting steadily eroded? We’ve long known that these slates would sacrifice backwards compatibility with legacy software, but now it seems the familiar desktop mode could be getting the chop too. Paul Thurrott from SuperSite for Windows says he has good insider information that this mode will be limited to x86 devices, which would rule out using the traditional keyboard-and-mouse UI on an ARM tablet and force users to stick with the Metro UI at all times. By the sound of it, though, the matter is still being argued over within Microsoft and it’s unclear whether the decision will apply to ARM-based notebooks too. All Thurrott could be sure of is that “the people who don’t want there to be a desktop mode [in ARM tablets] have apparently won the day.” Man, and just when we thought everyone was starting to get along so nicely.

Update: Paul Thurrott has just provided a bit of an update that he heard from a different source that, yes indeed, Windows 8 will include a desktop mode, even when running on ARM. Paul indicates he trusts these two sources equally, leaving us somewhat stuck in the middle.

There is always going to be a ton of innovation in the tech world but it seems that very few individuals have the means necessary to truly capitalize on the opportunities that new technology brings. Thats not always the case however with certain companies that present great opportunities such as ACN Inc offer their young business owners an amazing and profitable opportunity to be on the forefront of new technology that comes out and be on the forefront of the future technology that is coming out on the market.
For example acn was one of the first marketers to really push the visual telephone that allowed you to see who you were speaking with on the other end via a miniature television screen. This product was so popular that it even got the thumbs up and endorsement from Donald Trump. Every year however it seems that there is new technology coming out with everything from the iPad to the new Android phones from Google it’s hard to find profitable ways to make money off of these new inventions but fortunately companies like acn inc are creating a lot of excellent opportunities as a world leader in direct telecommunications and essential services for home based business
Even security alarm systems, new cell phones. and other essential home and business based services are available for promotion through american communications networks services. It’s not every single day that you can find somewhere to own a business for under $500.00 that lets you be on the edge of technological innovations and that is one of the huge benefits and great things about a company like this. Imagine being able to promote the first iPad and tablet and make money off of it truly is an amazing idea.

VC investment in UK and Irish high-tech companies this year is rapidly outstripping last year’s investment volume, according to the technology-focussed investment group, Ascendant.

In the first half of 2011, £455m has been invested compared to £620m in the first half of 2010.

“In Q2 2011, £234m (up from £190m in Q2 2010) was invested in 48 UK/Irish companies (47) by 70 investors (84),” says Stuart McKnight, managing director of Ascendant, “when added to our figures for Q1 that makes £455m invested in 91 companies in the first half of 2011. It is worth noting that in the whole of 2010, just £620m was invested in 213 companies so while we are seeing good progress in terms of funds committed, the market is a bit behind in the volume of companies receiving money.”

There were three notable trends in Q2. Perhaps the biggest was the bounce back of Cleantech deals. In Q1, two Cleantech companies raised a total of £3m. In Q2, 10 Cleantech companies raised £70m.

“We believe that there was no single factor driving this,” says McKnight, “the reasons we see are a small number of new investors, greater participation by corporate/strategic investors, and a greater number of late stage deals – more than 50% were Series C or later. Whilst we are encouraged, we would still be very cautious about concluding that all is well in the green tech sector as we are aware of a number of investors who will no longer look at new Cleantech deals, and the extended timetables that Cleantech companies are enduring to close their rounds – much longer than other tech companies.”

A second trend was the continuing high level of funds being committed to small numbers of companies. A good measure of this concentration is the percentage of funds invested in each quarter that are secured by the top 10 deals. In Q1 this peaked at 82%. Whilst it dropped in Q2 to 65%, this is still relatively high compared to norms of around 50%.

So it looks as though many investors have decided to get behind (or place big bets on) what they perceive to be an elite group of companies. This has happened before – about 11 years ago. The main difference now is that the big money is going to established businesses in late stage deals. So lessons have been learned.

The third trend was a gradual withdrawal of investors from the market. In Q1 2008, over 100 investors participated in UK/Irish VC deals. In Q2, 2011 that number was just 70. Apart from a significant drop in early 2009 due the recession, there has been a clear and consistent decrease during this period.

“Given that we know that there have been a number of new entrants – particularly in the corporate sector – this implies that there has been shrinkage in the main body of technology investors,” adds McKnight, “we are doing some deeper research on this and will publish this later this year.”

Even security alarm systems, new cell phones, business answering services, and other essential home and business based services are available for promotion through american communications networks services. It’s not every single day that you can find somewhere to own a business for under $500.00 that lets you be on the edge of technological innovations and that is one of the huge benefits and great things about a company like this. Imagine being able to promote the first iPad and tablet and make money off of it truly is an amazing idea.

“When we commented on the prospects for the year at the end of Q1, we suggested that: ‘If the normal pattern of investment holds then we should expect a modest uplift from the 2010 probably getting close to £750m for the whole of 2011’,” continues McKnight, “clearly Q2 has been much better than many of us expected – particularly in Cleantech – and we are minded to push up our “guestimate” for the year to between £800m-£850m. As always, there are a number of significant dynamics that could push this number in either direction.”

Trends highlighted by Ascendant are:

In Q2 2011, £234m was invested in 48 deals by 70 investors.

In the first half of 2011, £455m was invested in 91 companies

In Q2, the busiest investors were Index, DFJ Esprit, Eden and Finance Wales

57% of deals were syndicated – i.e. involved more than one investor

Private investors participated in 22% of VC deals, US investors in 2%, Euro investors in 10% and Corporate Investors in 22%

The biggest deals were: Enecsys (£25m), Oxford Nanopore (£25m), Shazam (£20m), Media Ingenuity (£18m), Wind Energy Direct (£18m), EVO Electric, Nujira (£10m), Worldstores (£10m), eWise (£9m) and Neul (£8m)

There were three primary areas of investment focus – Cleantech (£70m), Internet/Wireless Services (£60m), and Software (£45m).

There were 10 Cleantech deals in Q2 with the largest being: Enecsys (£25m), Wind Energy Direct (£18m), Evo-Electric (ND), Intelligent Energy (£7m) and Acal Energy (£5.1m).

14 Internet/Wireless Services companies received investment in Q2. The big deals were: Media Ingenuity (£18m), Worldstores (£10m), eWise (£9m), Borro (£8m) and StylistPick (£5m).

14 Software companies received VC backing. Shazam (£20m), Metaforic (£5m), Site Intelligence (£4m), Cognitive Match (£3.5m) and Brightpearl (£3m) were the largest.

The only semi/opto company to receive venture capital in this quarter was SmartKem.

18 London based companies raised £94m representing 37% of volume and 40% of the value of all UK/Irish Deals

All other regions managed to finance between 3 and 5 companies each.

Investment in companies from Scotland and the SW was particularly low with these regions only managing to raise £7m and £4m respectively.

There are many different sites that give reviews on electronic cigarettes.  Three brands of the top brands are Green Smoke, V2 and Premium.   While there are other good brands, these three are in the top ten of most Electronic Cigarette Reviews.  Electronic cigarettes are growing in popularity and knowing which of the brands are recommended will help the smoker to make a more informed decision.  Being a rather new industry there are continuously new innovations and improvements.  Each company features it own unique e-cigarettes.

Green smoke was the first company to patent the two component electronic cigarette.  What this means is that it only takes one step to replace the cartridge.  The part that goes to your lips gets replaced with every new cartridge so it remains quite hygienic.  You can also choose your nicotine level which ranges from 0mg to 16mg.  Another bonus is free shipping.  Green smoke offers various kits such as the Green Smoke Basic Starter Kit which consists of 1 manual, 2 lithium rechargeable cigarette batteries,1 USB home charger, 5 Nicotine Cartridges, The Social Smoker kit and there is even a Love Birds Kit for smoking couples.  Green smoke offers six different flavors including tobacco, red label tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, menthol and coffee.

V2 Cigs was started by 3 ex smokers who themselves have been committed to helping smokers quit the habit. V2 have come out with a unique button so that you can have your vapors cook at the right moment. V2 also have various kits such as the V2 Starter Kit which comes with 2 V2 batteries, 10 V2 Cartridges which offer 8 flavors and four nicotine strengths, USB charger, A/C wall Adapter and a user manual, Economy kit, Traveler Kit, Couples kit, Notebooking- USB Kit.  They offer flavors such as Tobacco (Cowboy and Congress), Menthol, Coffee, Cherry, Vanilla, Chocolate, Peppermint, they will soon be adding four new flavours Sahara, Island Coconut, Banana Blast and Classic Cola.  V2 offer a year warranty on their Electronic Cigarette parts.

  Premium has 19 different flavors, Tobacco, Vanilla, Menthol,  Coffee, Chocolate, Red Energy, Apple, Strawberry, Caramel, Camel, Irish Cream, Blueberry, Pineapple, Watermelon,  Pear, Cola, Clove, Peach and Cherry.  They also have 5 Nicotine Levels.  These level include, None (no nicotine), Low, Medium, High and Ultra high.

Thought Android was killing it in the US? Try the rest of planet Earth, bud. The latest from our friends at Canalys has Google’s mobile OS on 48 percent of smartphones worldwide, or nearly one out of every two sold. Mountain View’s stratospheric rise came at someone’s expense, and it looks like Nokia’s the loser here folks, which corroborates the data from last week’s IDC report. Espoo’s foibles are troublesome in a market that grew 73 percent year over year, especially when Samsung shipped 421 percent more handsets than it did a year ago. As a result, the Korean company has surpassed Nokia in smartphone marketshare, just like its rival in Cupertino. Despite the rampant growth, the research firm suspects Sammy could have done better, noting that it had failed to capitalize on Nokia’s “weakened state around the world” with its “global scale and channel reach.” We’ll see if Samsung takes Canalys’ constructive criticism to heart in Q3, but while you wait, you can read the full report after the jump.

It’s not just Apple’s App Store striding past milestones today, Microsoft’s Windows Phone Marketplace has also rounded a notable marker in its development. Specifically, it’s now reported to have passed 25,000 apps by one site tracking comings and goings within it, though that figure’s up for debate as the other WP7 apps tracker still lists the total at just under 25k. The main point is that the WP7 ecosystem is growing, and faster than previously at that — it took until the end of March to accrue 11,500 apps, a span of five months from its launch, whereas the last 13.5k have come in the brisker period of three months. Provided this acceleration continues, and there’s no reason to expect it’ll slow down with Mango on the horizon, Microsoft’s mobile OS reboot promises to be in pretty competitive shape in time for its first anniversary — a notable feat considering how far behind WinMo had fallen. Perhaps RIM can use this as an instructive example?

Government officials have given a tentative thumbs up to a new technology for cars that would render the concept of driving while drunk a non-starter — literally.

On Friday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and David Strickland, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, were on hand when researchers publicly demonstrated a car-embeddable sensor system that cleverly locks down the engine if it detects that the driver’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit.

Through the use of strategically placed sensors in places like the steering wheel and door locks, the North America Driver Alcohol Detection Systems for Safety, created by QinetiQ, a research facility in Waltham, Massachusetts, would analyze a driver’s skin or breath to determine a driver’s level of intoxication.

The system is being promoted as an alternative to alcohol ignition interlock systems that force drivers to blow into a breathalyzer type device before the car can be started. The cumbersome ignition systems are sometimes used by drivers as part of a DUI conviction.

After the demonstration, Strickland and LaHood gave a positive, yet cautious, assessment of the technology:

The technology is “another arrow in our automotive safety quiver,” said LaHood, who emphasized the system was envisioned as optional equipment in future cars and voluntary for auto manufacturers.

David Strickland, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, also attended the demonstration and estimated the technology could prevent as many as 9,000 fatal alcohol-related crashes a year in the U.S., though he also acknowledged that it was still in its early testing stages and might not be commercially available for 8-10 years.

And since the system will likely fall under the optional category for automakers, the technology must prove itself to be reliable enough to not mistakenly prevent the more sober folks from starting their cars to have any hope of being adopted by the masses.

The systems would not be employed unless they are “seamless, unobtrusive and unfailingly accurate,” Strickland told the Associated Press.

A test showed that a 20-something year-old woman weighing 120 pounds had a blood alcohol content level of .06, just below the legal limit of .08, after drinking two 1 1/2 ounce glasses of vodka and orange juice about a half hour apart.

Even if the technology is perfected, it’ll still be a tough sell. Freedom and the means to move about freely are cherished American values. So my guess is that there are very few people who would readily embrace the technology because of the off-chance that a slight malfunction would cause them to be late or, at worst, stuck somewhere.

But with an increasingly greater awareness of the dangers of drunk driving, the promise of such a system shows that technological solutions are in place should the tide turn.
