Acer's President and CEO:
We are working on an Android solution for the smartphone, [but] I think it's too early to say if we're going to see Android on a netbook in the near future.
So they're considering it! Then, from PC World:
He said Android is "very, very good for communication and Web access and so on," but he's not sure yet if it's right for traditional PCs.A smartphone with Android makes a lot more sense than a netbook with the OS, he said.
Oh, so he basically heard some other company talking about an Android netbook, decided to dignify the possibility with a mention just in case, but intuitively thinks—reasonably, I might add—that the whole idea is kind of dumb. Got it. [PC World]
The national maps—like the one above, which shows the most photographed landmark for each of the top 20 most photographed cities—are somewhat predicable, with photo density at its highest around population centers—especially large, scenic ones. Natural sights, like the Grand Canyon, make a strong showing, and the results generally support my theory that most peoples' vacations consist of trudging to a location of note, snapping a photo to prove that, yes, they actually went, and going directly back home.
Researchers are said to be mulling the possibility of constructing some kind of online travel guide from the wisdom of the photo-taking crowd. Regarding that "wisdom": Apple's Manhattan cube store is the 5th most photographed place in NYC—just in front of the Statue of Liberty. Read the full report here. [Physorg]
Many of you asked if you could buy the goosebumping version of Stand By Me that we featured yesterday. Good news: It's out this month in CD and DVD, along with other amazing songs.
Stand By Me was only one of the songs in the album, which includes other tracks recorded using the same method: Starting with a base track, multiple musicians and singers add tracks in a virtual studio all around the world. The idea came out from the documentary Playing for Change: Peace Through Music. You can check more info about these in their web site. [Playing for Change—Thanks Oscar]
• A CPU that has true chip-level virtualization from Intel or AMD.
• 2GB of RAM minimum.
• While XP Mode will be a free download for buyers of Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, and Windows 7 Ultimate, you will need a licensed copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3.
All seems very straightforward except the virtualization part. According to Microsoft's Scott Woodgate, "Some PCs have [chip-level virtualization] and some don't. It's not as clear as it should be relative to which PCs have support and which don't." Hopefully, they will release a tester program along with Windows 7. [cnet]
