Microsoft unveils new series of Kinect games , Sony Corporation named ‘PlayStation Vita' , Nintendo- Wii game console at E3
At E3 it's all about exclusives, and Microsoft devoted more than half of its press conference to announcing Xbox 360 and Kinect exclusive titles.http://cdn15.castfire.com/video/305/2099/7167/626341/cnet_2011-06-06-183341-4077-3-0-0.1100.mp4?cdn_id=20&uuid=76bdbbe4172362d8d45f784e17ef383a&referer=http%3A%2F%2Fi.d.com.com%2Fav%2Fvideo%2Fcnettv%2F5%2F20110606%2Fplayer.swf
Microsoft on Monday launched a new set of games and entertainment services to use its Kinect sensing motion device.
Japan’s Sony Corporation named ‘PlayStation Vita’ as its next portable video-game player with 5-inch touch screen at the E3 gaming conference on Monday. Also Nintendo said it has plans to come out with a sequel to the Wii game console.
Microsoft of Redmond, Washington, launched “Star Wars" game for its Xbox 360 system which uses the Kinect sensing motion device that will allow gamers to move objects with their arms, the WSJ reported.
The three major companies are facing stiff competition from smaller novel forms of gaming, like the ones on Facebook, to the cheap games which are designed for smart phones and tablets.
Around 10 million games designed for Kinect have been sold since its release in November.
According to Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment business, the Kinect will make players feel the "real deal".
EA (Electronic Arts) has announced the launch of four sports games wiPublish
th the likes of Tiger Woods golf, Madden football, FIFA soccer and another game with an unannounced title which will use Kinect.
EA will launch, "Mass Effect 3", in March 2012, which will use the Kinect technology and allow players to converse, affecting the overall behavior of the game.
EA displayed at an event on Monday, 'The Sims Social' where the characters can dance and do many 'virtual' things.
Microsoft has also announced the launch of a new version of its Xbox Live online entertainment service that will provide members with access to video from Youtube and a variety of other television events. The company said it will add a search function to the service to help users to look for videos, music and games using the voice commands.
Sony's PlayStation Vita, with a price tag of $249 and $299 respectively for the models that can access wi-fi and the 3G network, was the biggest surprise at E3 with its lower prices despite having features like a touch screen and rear touch pads, analysts said.
Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2011
http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/
The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) showcases the latest innovations and the newest technologies in iOS and Mac OS X. Over 1,000 Apple engineers guide you through five exciting days of in-depth technical sessions and hands-on labs that demonstrate how to harness the incredible power of the world’s most advanced operating systems into your apps
WWDC is an incredible experience where you'll learn about new technologies, work one-to-one with Apple engineers, and enjoy special events.
What was your favorite announcement?
Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software Inc., which makes Yojimbo: The amount of user-facing work that’s going into Lion and iOS 5 is truly impressive, especially as it reflects an enormous amount of infrastructure work.
Gedeon Maheux, Principal / Designer at The Iconfactory, which makes Twitterific: We’re most excited about all of the potential in iOS 5, such as Apple’s new iCloud API. Hopefully synching Twitter timeline positions across multiple copies of Twitterrific will work with relatively little effort.
Ken Case, CEO of The Omni Group: I’m really looking forward to updating our document-based apps (OmniOutliner, OmniGraffle . . . ) to leverage iCloud’s document syncing.
David Frampton, founder of Majic Jungle Software, which makes Chopper and Chopper 2: AirPlay Mirroring. I wasn’t expecting that, as it seems a pretty amazing technical achievement. Not sure on the details yet, but it could be a big deal for gaming.
Layton Duncan, founder of Polar Bear Farm, which makes Air Forms: By far iCloud, specifically Photo Stream. Photos across multiple devices, iPhone, laptop and desktop have been a real pain point for a while. It’s nice to have something to now sync consistently and transparently across all my devices.
What were you not expecting to see?
Maheux: Personally I’m excited about iMessage as a potential replacement for the aging application iChat and the newly redesigned notification system in iOS.
Case: Reminders in iOS 5 looks good! Glad to see Apple providing it as important baseline functionality (and challenging us to take things further).
Siegel: When they announced iTunes music storage, my immediate question was, “But what about music that I *didn’t* buy from iTunes?” The answer to that comes as iTunes Match, which was a pleasant surprise for me.
What was the most overdue announcement?
Frampton: Fixing the notification system. It’s been pretty bad, so it’s great to see that they’ve made some major improvements.
Duncan: Absolutely the notifications overhaul. They have been terrible in iOS for a long time. Now it looks like they finally have a scalable solution.
What new feature is going to have the biggest long-term impact?
Duncan: To me it’s the iCloud document syncing. It’s a feature that in the future you’ll not necessarily notice day-to-day because it just happens, but won’t be able to live without.
Siegel: It’s really impossible to fully gauge the developer impact just yet, but these user-facing features are exciting developments, and they’re backed by a huge number of new APIs. As the week goes on I expect to have a better sense of how we can employ the internal developents to make better software.
Frampton: iCloud is a big deal. It takes a bunch of totally separate devices and unifies them, which I think will permanently change the way we view and use them.
Anything that worries you?
Frampton: Apple announced a number of new apps and features that totally obsolete many third-party apps. This has caught a number of developers off guard, and there is no guarantee they won’t obsolete other apps and business models in the future. In fact, they certainly will.
Duncan: There were some concerns with new features, specifically the Reminders app, which seems to directly compete with developers, with no real reason, given it’s a feature that doesn’t need to be deeply integrated into the OS. Secondly, the use of the volume button as a camera button, given the history of that feature in Tap Tap Tap’s Camera+ app [it was introduced to Camera+ as a hidden feature, which prompted Apple to pull the app from the App Store for many months]
source http://gigaom.com/apple/what-developers-think-of-the-wwdc-2011-keynote/
On Monday, WWDC 2011 revealed a number of enhancements to OS X, iOS and iCloud.
Here was news about updates to the computer operating system – Mac OS X Lion – about the iPad and iPhone operating system – iOS 5 – and about a new service/product called iCloud.
No new gadgets this time around.
Mac OS X Lion
Out of 250 new features, Apple highlighted only some of them during the keynote. A major takeaway: you have access to everything everywhere all the time.
Trackpads will now respond to multitouch gestures including scroll, pinch and zoom.
A new control on the upper right will let you take an app full screen with a swipe, another swipe at the upper left will exit full screen.
Mission Control unifies Expose and Spaces. You can swipe to see all open apps and spaces. Another swipe takes you back to the desktop. If you've loved using Spaces, Mission Control will make it easier for you.
The Mac App Store is built in. That means you can buy software on your laptop with no trips to the store. Apps can be arranged and stored in folders like on iOS. When you launch an app, it takes you right back to where you were when you left off. Apple calls this feature Resume.
Auto-save is automatic in documents now. Plus versions of a document are saved as you work, which you can browse through with an interface that looks like Time Machine.
Tapping a document name opens up a contextual menu, including Browse All Versions. You can quit an app without saving, because Lion saves it for you.
AirDrop will appear in the Finder. Use it to drag and drop documents between computers in your network.
Mail is brand new. It looks like the version of Mail on an iPad and is optimized for reading. Search in mail can recognize if you are searching for a person, a subject or a date. The threading of mail is called "Conversation View" and appears in a separate column.
Lion is only available in the Mac App Store for only $29. It will be available in July. It looks like users currently running Leopard must first upgrade to Snow Leopard ($29) to gain access to the Mac App Store, so it will be a $60 fee to upgrade if you're not already at Snow Leopard.
iOS 5 on iPhone and iPad
Apple is calling iOS 5 a major release. There are 200 new features. The big ten were mentioned in the keynote.
Notifications will now be collected in a Notifications Center. They will be reachable without being so much of an interruption. If the screen is locked, they show. Swiping over a notification puts you into the relevant app, even from the locked screen.
Newstand will make it easier to get all your magazine subscriptions. Subscriptions will now be downloaded in the background.
Twitter will have a single sign-on across all your iOS apps. It's integrated into apps like the Camera, too.
Safari will have a Reader feature and make it show just the story you're reading. You can request full page and won't have to tap from page to page. And you can email contents from what you're reading rather than a link. That one may not be a big hit with web sites wanting traffic. Reading List lets you save stories to read later. A big one for me is that there is now tab browsing for Safari in iOS 5!
Reminders lets you store lists, dates, locations, todo items. It syncs with iCal.
Camera is faster and has a shortcut from a lockscreen, even if you have a passcode set. You can pinch to zoom in the camera. The camera can lock in auto expose and auto focus. You can edit right in the camera app – crop, rotate, red eye, etc.
Mail will add rich-text formatting, controled indentation, draggable addresses, and support for flagging. You'll be able to search messages. There will be more support for S/MIME. There will be built in dictionary across all iOS apps, including Mail. You can split the keyboard to type with just your thumbs.
The new PC Free feature is a nice one. You can set up and activate the device without your PC. Software updates come straight to the device without being tethered to a computer. Updates shouldn't take so long either, since they will only update what's changed.
Game Center is more social. Games can be purchased and downloaded from Game Center.
iMessage is a new service between all iOS users. Messages can include text, photos, videos, contacts. You can see when the other person is typing. You can request delivery receipts and read receipts. iMessage pushes to all your iOS devices. Start with your iPod Touch and finish on your iPad. Messages don't interrupt what you're doing, they fade in and out without stopping things.
iOS 5 ships in the fall.
iCloud
Steve Jobs handed off the speaking duties for the OS updates, but introduced iCloud himself.
iCloud lets you move your digital hub into the cloud where everything stays in sync between all your devices. Do something with one device, it gets sent to the cloud and pushed back down to all your other devices. It's integrated with all apps – contacts, calendar, mail, App Store, iBooks, Documents, iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), photos (using the Photo Stream app), iTunes. A change anywhere propagates everywhere. Including any new devices you buy as soon as you activate it. You're limited to 10 devices.
There's once a day backup to iCloud of all content.
iCloud is free. And it works for Macs and PCs.
The photo storage is only the last 1000 photos you've taken, so they have to be downloaded and stored somewhere outside iCloud if you have more than 1000.
There's also a space limit in iTunes music.
To get iTunes in the cloud, just upgrade your phone to iOS 5. iTunes in the cloud will also run on iOS 4.3. It will be built in to all iOS 5 devices shipping in the fall.
You don't have to buy the music from iTunes to use it on iTunes. iTunes Match can convert songs you've ripped from your CDs to the the Apple encoding (256 kbps AAC) and store them in the cloud. Jobs didn't mention what the implications to the music industry might be of iTunes Match "legalizing" music you pirated or downloaded from some questionable source. The service is $24.99 a year no matter how many songs you have. And a sync is fast when compared with other services.
My Two Cents
Mac products continue to get better and better, and the cost of upgrading to the latest and greatest is not burdensome. The laptop is becoming a bit more iPad-like in operation while the iOS devices become more and more capable.
Their cloud service seems to be a better deal than the others available right now, or at least offers some stiff competition. If you've already got online backup storage in the cloud, iCloud might not provide the storage capacity you need to let it go. In iCloud's favor, it is dead easy and syncs to all your devices automatically.

What Are We Doing With Social Media?
What Are We Doing With Social Media? | From the Bell Tower
It's now been several years since academic libraries began dabbling in social media. Are we are any closer to strategically capitalizing on it to improve our relationships with students?Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA Jun 2, 2011 The application of social media in higher education is in the news because of the attention being garnered by John Maeda, university president at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). It seems that Maeda, a tech savvy design expert, sought to have an open, transparent presidency driven by frequent blogs posts and tweets. Maeda played out the strategy well, taking advantage of blogging, Twitter, and YouTube to constantly share his thoughts with students and faculty. It didn't work out. In this case social media flopped. Maeda now acknowledges that his strategy conflicted with the culture of RISD. "I ate the Jell-O, I drank the Kool-Aid. But now I realize that what I thought could work in the digital era doesn't have the same impact locally as it does globally," he said in an interview. "People don't want more messages; they want more interactions. There's no perfect memo where you can press send and get connected, or Facebook group you can join to be committed." Librarians sip the Kool-Aid By 2006, our literature began to reflect the movement, with Brian Mathews sharing his experienceat attempting to connect with a segment of students at this institution. Since then there are multiple studies aiming to answer questions related to the impact of social media in academic libraries orwhether students even want to have social media contact with librarians. Academic librarians have also explored YouTube as a vehicle for reaching students virtually, and while most are of questionable value, a very few have gone viral. Since those early efforts to connect with students in social media, real breakthrough developments have yet to be seen. Yet we still keep plugging along with social media. What are we up to now? At my library, a group has worked this spring to establish a more concrete social media plan, and they just recently issued guidelines for coordinating our strategies and establishing a core of social media journalists within the library. Also, this blogger shared the results of his poll to learn more about libraries using incentives to encourage community members to interact with the library. For example, one academic library has a special gift for any student who becomes Mayor of the library. Another held a contest for the best tweet about the library. At LJ's recent Day of Dialog preceeding BEA, a panel of experts discussed what librarians need to do in order to truly engage their communities using social media. Just throwing tweets out willy nilly or randomly posting to Facebook and then dropping away is unlikely to result in a robust community in either forum. The panelists provided suggestions for creating more engaging content, but the overarching message is that getting results with social media depends on well planned strategic deployment. Facebook rules Among the findings, 96 percent used Facebook, 75 percent use Twitter, and 40 to 60 percent use YouTube, blogs, and Flicker. In a bit of a surprise, the main audience for social media is neither current nor prospective students but alumni. By a wide margin Facebook is most heavily favored, and it provides the best results. One question asked respondents to rank the major barriers to an effective social media strategy. Number one was insufficient staff for managing the day-to-day media strategies. That's a problem for academic libraries as well. We have great ideas and strategies, but lack the necessary staff to make a social media librarian a more common fixture in academic libraries. Lessons worth learning With all trends indicating that social media is spreading across all age demographics and becoming a regular part of our daily routines, we can ill afford to pass up opportunities to leverage these tools to connect with our communities. Increasingly, the library plays an important role in supporting social network use as well. In a recent presentation, The Networked Librarian, Lee Rainey shared the latest data and trends in social networking and libraries, and told the audience that "librarians are well adapted for supporting this." According to Rainey, when librarians engage in social media, through our blogs, videos, and tweets, we serve as content creators and this is going to be increasingly important to our work if we want to engage with all the other content creators out there. For those of us not already doing so, it's time to start approaching social networking and the use of social media more strategically to connect its use to specific outcomes. The days of dabbling and experimenting should lead us to a new phase, one in which social media is used with intentional design to improve our libraries. But let us remember the lessons learned the hard way by Maeda. Stay focused on the culture of the community, and remember that people want more than messages—they want engagement and interaction. source :http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/home/890844-264/what_are_we_doing_with.html.csp
Early on the academic library community became interested in social media. At first it was MySpace and Facebook, and we rushed to establish a presence in hopes that our students would eagerly seek our virtual friendship even if they were lukewarm to getting to know us personally.
In more recent years our social media behavior is changing. Rather than simply establishing a presence and hoping students will notice, we're developing strategies for making the best use of our time in social networks. I've taken note of some academic libraries that have social media teams that plan out approaches for different media, recognizing they have unique qualities and that one strategy for all of them may not work.
A new report sheds some light on the state of social media in higher education. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) produced a report titled Best Practices in Social Media. Nearly 1000 colleges and universities were asked how they use social media in order to better understand its use in marketing and the extent to which the tools are being used.
Despite some of the uncertainties about where we are headed with social media we should continue to explore how it might be best used to promote the library, provide a student-preferred communication channel, and contribute to growing a loyal user base. Along the way, we may make some mistakes. When it comes to social media the landscape is littered is bad choices and serious misuse. In his Inside Higher Ed essay titled Beyond Tweets and Blogs, Kevin Tynan reflects on the problems of social media as a higher education marketing tool. He cautions institutions to move carefully with blogs and video, and to avoid worrying about keeping up with the latest trendy social media resource.

| Program | : | “Enhancing academic reputation with new social media” |
| Tarikh | : | 06 Jun 2011 (Isnin) |
| Masa | : | 10.00 pagi - 11.00 pagi |
| Tempat | : | Auditorium 2, iLQAM |
| Penceramah | : | Prof Casey Chan, Adjunct Professor at YLL School of Medicine & Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore |
Learning objectives:
At the end of this workshop you should be able to:
· Set up an academic blog focused on your research interest and public outreach
· Learn how to use Twitter and Facebook to increase your post- publication publicity
· Create discussion groups on Facebook

· Use WizFolio to upload your publications to the Internet.
Synopsis:
Social media has expanded beyond personal connectivity into mainstream branding and customer outreach for all the major consumer brands. Its impact on political change is self-evident. Partly due to unfamiliarity and partly due to the association of social media with disrepute academics have been slow to embrace this medium.
In this talk, the role of social media in academic reputation will be discussed. For academics, social media is a new media is a new way to rapidly disseminate their research work and enhance their online presence. The use of the new media has to be carefully managed to avoid pitfalls.
In this workshop, tips will be given on how to utilize conventional social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to integrate with the new generation of reference managers. In addition to discussions on CiteULike, Mendeley and Zotero, Prof Chan will demonstrate the use of Wizfolio to create an online presence by coupling with the new media.
About the Speaker:
Casey Chan is an adjunct professor at the YLL School of Medicine and Faculty of Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He is active in teaching and research in both faculties, and regularly mentors the younger academic staff and graduate students on their career development. WizFolio, the journal reference management software he has developed, is widely used by undergraduate and graduate students for their final year projects and graduate theses. Prof Chan has led the effort to integrate WizFolio with resources from Scholarly Portal, a consortium of 21 university libraries in Canada.

Future Library : Robots hoard the books at mechanized library
Credit: University of Chicago The entire book collection is stored underground in a five-story chamber that can hold some 35,000 metal bins. If you want to actually crack open a dead tree and read its paper pages, you'll have to ask a robot to fetch it for you from the vault. A robotic crane between racks of bins (click to enlarge). The five underground robot cranes, apparently made byDematic, retrieve the storage bins in minutes. As the vid below explains, a human librarian opens the bin and gets your bar-coded book. Then you're free to read the tome in the light-filled egg-shaped Grand Reading Room, which is otherwise devoid of books. Welcome to the automated library. The robotized storage system makes lots of sense in terms of book preservation and efficiency; since books are packed by size instead of subject the vault apparently is seven times more efficient than conventional shelf storage. The library, named after donor Morningstar CEO Joe Mansueto and his wife, is also meant to reflect how most research is done today--looking up text online, using Google Books, as well as consulting physical books. Will Chicago's automatic egg become a model for future libraries? I love libraries, and I'm sitting in one right now as I write. One thing I like most about them is that they're full of books. Books that I'm interested in, and books that I'm not interested in. I happen to be sitting in the art section, surrounded by spines with titles like "Japonisme," "Warhol Live," and "The Sun King's Garden." I didn't summon them by robot. They're just there, waiting for someone to take a casual or serious interest. After all, the beauty of analog technology is the bonus experiences you don't expect. source : http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20066220-1/robots-hoard-the-books-at-mechanized-library If books are dying a slow death, libraries are also living on borrowed time. But that didn't stop the University of Chicago from sinking $81 million into the new Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, which ironically doesn't have any books on display. 
From Shelves to Internet: Digital Library Takes Shape
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five-story robots patrol an underground chamber to retrieve books beneath the Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago. It's a sight that would impress most people, but U.S. librarians and academics have their eyes set on a still more futuristic concept. They want to build the Digital Public Library of America.
The library founders have wisely crowdsourced the concept to anyone who has ideas about what a digital library should look like. Such a challenge rivals an architectural design contest for the next huge skyscraper, according to John Palfrey, co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at the Harvard Law School.
But make no mistake; the Digital Public Library of America does not spell the end for your local library. If anything, it would do the opposite.
"I hope that a thriving Digital Public Library of America can be a complement to a very bright future for libraries of all sorts by freeing them up to do more," Palfrey said. "If you talk to any bright-eyed librarian in any setting, they'll talk about all the things they're eager to do and can't get to because of budgetary constraints."
Connecting the dots
A future digital library could be as simple as agreeing about creating standards for sharing existing digital resources. Or it could represent its own full-blown Internet portal that holds all sorts of content ranging from journal articles to comic books, from the latest chart-topping songs to old Hollywood movies.
The actual concept would likely fall between those two visions, Palfrey said. But whatever the case, he emphasized the need for such a library to make use of all the other online archives and digitization projects that have already uploaded material onto the Internet.
"One of the important challenges here is that we don't want to recreate the great work of PublicResource.Org. digitization projects, and the efforts of many big libraries," Palfrey told InnovationNewsDaily. "We want to tap into, coordinate and spur such efforts, not work at cross-purposes."
A digital library should also tie into existing resources such as Google search or the open-source Wikipedia, Palfrey said. That only makes sense given how so many "netizens" already make use of such resources.
Many doorways
The Digital Public Library of America also needs to consider how to become available to as many people as possible. That could mean enabling multiple language versions, as well as making sure that visually impaired people can still surf the library's contents.
Different portals for the library might also suit people with different digital connection speeds or types of access. During a recent workshop, planners observed that more people will access the Internet through mobile devices rather than a traditional computer by 2013 or 2014.
Users might even enter the digital library through different interfaces depending on whether they're looking for the latest murder mystery thriller, sci-fi movies or old U.S. court decisions. In all cases, the interfaces should be "beautiful and intuitive and helpful," Palfrey said.
"We're not going to recreate YouTube, and we're not going to recreate the World Wide Web, and we're not going to recreate iTunes," Palfrey explained. "But there may be approaches that are analogous which make a lot of sense."
The human knowledge project
The expense for the Digital Public Library of America might end up around $5 million-10 million a year, based on operating costs for the similar Europeana project. But that cost could rise by up to ten times if the library has to digitize a lot of text, audio or video content that doesn't already exist online.
Palfrey and the library steering committee must also consider how to secure copyright permissions for lending digital materials not in the public domain, so that future library users can enjoy some of the latest best-selling books or Hollywood blockbusters.
Still, the effort could pay off big by empowering people with access to knowledge that they might harness in unexpected ways.
"The Digital Library of America can be a generative platform for people to do innovative things that we can't foresee now," Palfrey said. "That's the big win for me, allowing things that we couldn't possibly imagine at the outset."
The future library may even end up connecting to digital libraries in other countries such as the Netherlands, Norway and South Korea.
"This is not the human knowledge project, but it might be if you add it to the other [international] efforts," Palfrey said. "This could be a component of the human knowledge project."
