Google TV Adds New International Apps, But It’s Still Only Available In U.S.

google-tv_updateGoogle today announced another step in the build-out of its Google TV service: it is adding several new international channels in the form of apps to the Google TV platform, aimed at those who live in the U.S. but are missing content from home. Among them are a mix of entertainment and news services, including al-Jazeera, the Chinese-language PPTV, the IslamBox collection of channels, Yupp TV (another aggregator, this time of Indian content) and Japan's Crunchyroll. But while it is going international on one level, it is not on another: still no definite dates on when Google plans to launch its service outside of the U.S.

Facebook Bans Source Code Extraction In Proposed Governance Changes

fbsitegovernanceFacebook has proposed several changes to its Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and is asking the public for feedback until March 22nd. The most important changes are the prohibition of extracting source code from its downloadable software, and a clear explanation that friends can share your information through applications. The changes are necessary since Facebook released its first download "Messenger For Windows" this month, and because it has come under greater scrutiny from government privacy offices. You can see the full track changes version of the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities below and go here to leave your comments. The changes aren't very controversial, but if they receive enough comments, Facebook will open them to a vote.

SpaceX Dragon will dock with the ISS in May, for realsies this time

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell has announced that the company's Dragon craft has a NASA-approved date to dock with the International Space Station. With the original mission postponed from November last year, it's now penciled in for launch on April 30th, arriving at the ISS's front door on May 3rd, packed to the gills with fresh supplies. If successful, it'll strengthen Elon Musk's case for SpaceX to send a man into space... and beyond.

Mobile Nations invades the Miami Apple Store lineup

It's not often we can manage to get the Chief Media Officer of Mobile Nations, Kevin Michaluk to go all in on some Apple coverage for us. (Being the number one BlackBerry fanboy and all.) But here we are on the eve of the new iPad launch and so Kevin hit up the Lincoln Road Apple store in Miami to see what was going down.

Twitter: An Increasingly Great Platform For Instagram

tumblr_lzm6aaGB6f1qz83q6o1_1280Twitter has been working hard over the last year to make photo sharing a core part of its product, taking over the photo-hosting role from third parties and gaining deep new integration with Apple's iOS. But there's also a big new winner coming up on top of its developer platform -- mobile photo-sharing app Instagram. New stats provided to us by social photo aggregator Pixable show how this trend played out at the South By Southwest conference in Austin last weekend.

Sprint's divorce from LightSquared is final, returns $65 million

 

Sprint

And that, as they say, is that. Sprint this morning announced that its spectrum deal with LightSquared is officially over, and the two companies will go their separate ways. LightSquared's going away with $65 million back in its pockets -- money that Sprint had already accepted as prepayment for costs that were never realized.

Said Sprint in a news release:

“Sprint has been and continues to be supportive of LightSquared’s business plans and appreciates the company’s efforts to find a resolution to the interference issues impacting its ability to offer service on the 1.6 GHz spectrum. However, due to these unresolved issues, and subject to the provisions of the agreement, Sprint has elected to exercise its right to terminate the agreement announced last summer. We remain open to considering future spectrum hosting agreements with LightSquared, should they resolve these interference issues, as well as other interested spectrum holders.

“Late last year, both companies agreed to halt deployment design and implementation of LightSquared’s network to ensure that Sprint’s Network Vision project remained on schedule. While unfortunate, termination of the agreement will have no impact on Sprint’s current customers and is not material to Sprint’s ongoing business operations. Network Vision remains on schedule and on budget, and we look forward to begin launching our 4G LTE network mid-year.

“Per the terms of the agreement, Sprint has returned $65 million in prepayments LightSquared made to cover costs that were not ultimately incurred by Sprint.”

So what does this mean to you? Really, not all that much. Sprint's still planning on rolling out its LTE network by the middle of the year, and that can't come soon enough for those of us waiting on another option for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (which just went through the FCC). It just won't be doing so with LightSquared.
