 The SOE network is responsible for hosting games like DC Universe Online, EverQuest, and Free Realms – so you can imagine the magnitude of such a crime

Somebody needs to give Sony a break. After being attacked over a week ago, and only just starting to recover, Sony has a bout of bad news again. This time it isn’t the Sony PlayStation Network, but the Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) servers. The SOE servers were taken down earlier this morning, with Sony citing it was due to an intrusion.

Now, it has been reported that personal details and about 12,700 credit card numbers were stolen have been stolen from the SOE servers. The SOE network is responsible for hosting games like DC Universe Online, EverQuest, and Free Realms – so you can imagine the magnitude of such a crime. However a silver lining surrounds this dark cloud; the stolen details are claimed to be from the year 2007, which means most of the credit card info stolen should have been expired by now.

There’s no telling when SOE will be back up, so for folks looking forward to their MMO fixes will have to find an alternate hobby in the meantime. Stay tuned for more updates.

2011 Ford Fiesta showcased in India

2011 Ford Fiesta showcased in India... The good thing is that this car now gets Japanese as also European finesse in its engineering and looks department. Even though we have test driven this car, we had mentioned that we aren’t sure if Ford would continue with the same specifications or engine options

Ford Motors today showcased the 2011 Ford Fiesta scheduled for its Indian launch. The preview of the car was in New Delhi, India’s capital. This car follows the “one product” approach that Ford is trying to build up in India. The “one product” theme is a thought by Ford that all the countries across the world where Ford products are manufactured, should get the same products. The 2011 Fiesta is the first initiative in that path. The 2011 Ford Fiesta is a bigger car than its earlier version and is said to have some of the real cool features that would take it leagues ahead of its current competition. Its competitors include the Fiat Linea, Maruti SX4, Volkswagen Vento and the Honda City. Last but not the least, the yet to be launched all new Hyundai Verna RB.

This new Ford shares its platform with the Mazda 2 however Ford have given this chassis a high rigidity along with the crisp ride and handling package that Ford cars are known for. Ford were kind enough to reveal that this car gets a 1.6 liter petrol and 1.6 liter diesel engine. The former is the same engine that can be found in the Fiesta Classic but with a bump in power to 120 Bhp. The 1.6 liter diesel motor produces 90 Bhp of power as opposed to 68 that the earlier 1.4 used to produce. The good thing is that this car now gets Japanese as also European finesse in its engineering and looks department. Even though we have test driven this car, we had mentioned that we aren’t sure if Ford would continue with the same specifications or engine options. Price was something which Ford didn’t reveal at the time of showcase. Do hit this spot again since we would be updating it once the 2011 Ford Fiesta is launched in India.

Redbox Android app makes finding nearby redbox kiosk locations, browsing titles with box art and reserving movies accessible via their Android-powered mobile devices.

The official redbox app, compatible with most Android devices—platform 1.6 and higher—is available as a free download in the Android Market.

Redbox iPhone 2.0 app
Since its debut in December 2009, the redbox iPhone app has been downloaded more than 2 million times.

Redbox has enhanced the app to provide additional content and faster connection speeds.

The enhanced app features movie box art and loads up to 50 percent faster to make renting movies on-the-move a snap.

The app is available for free upgrade in the iPhone App Store.

Consumers can login to the redbox iPhone or Android app using their redbox.com account, which is linked to their credit card.

Top 10 Android Apps - New York Times

Top 10 Android Apps.... Glympse (free; open the app, hit a couple of buttons and Glympse lets a friend temporarily track your location); Angry Birds (free; not as slick as the iPhone version); Weather Channel (free; offers better forecasts than your phone’s standard weather app); Epicurious (free.....

Android users have it even worse. Although there are fewer apps to peruse (around 100,000 at last count), the Android Market is a nightmare to navigate compared with the iTunes App Store. 

Yes, even though Google is the master of search, its Android Market’s search feature is less effective than Apple’s. The Market also has no answer for the App Store’s “Staff Favorites,” “Essentials” or “New and Noteworthy” selections, which pull good apps to the front of the catalog. 

But that’s why I’m here. Android users, I here by present 10 indispensable apps and then some. (This list and other lists of favorite apps can be found at http://nyti.ms/fKliAm.) 

Some apps on my list are unique to Android, even though app developers still seem to develop for iPhone first. Oh, and the best part about the list? Almost all the apps are free. 

Let’s start with Google, which created the Android operating system. The company may do a poor job with the Market, but it creates — and, more to the point, it gives away — stellar software for Android devices. 

Google Search (free) is a huge time saver, thanks to the voice-search function. (Ask it for Wikipedia entries and it fetches. Speak the name of a retailer and it finds the nearest location.) And Google Maps (also free) is a big money saver, since it provides the same turn-by-turn navigation features you would have to pay $10 a month for on other phone platforms. 

But since those apps come standard on every Android device I’ve ever seen, let’s skip those and get to the ones you’d have to seek out in the Android Market. 

GOOGLE SHOPPER (FREE) this app can save you hundreds of dollars by helping you find better prices nearby or online. Scan a bar code and the app takes it from there. If the scan doesn’t work, you can speak the product’s name and the app finds the product. 

GOOGLE SKY MAP (FREE) Some serious eye candy that you’ll want to activate on the next cloudless night. Point your device toward the heavens and Sky Map puts a label on every celestial body you see — and some you can’t. 

REMOTEDROID (FREE) Turns your phone into a wireless trackpad and mouse. You might not want to use the tiny keypad to input text, but if your computer lacks a trackpad — or if you’d like to liberate your trackpad from its spot — this will make your day. 

CARDIOTRAINER (FREE) Arguably better than any fitness app on the iPhone, CardioTrainer is an Android-only program that tracks your fitness regimen and calorie consumption. It includes a music management feature to keep your workout tunes fresh. 

SOUNDHOUND (FREE AND $5) It’s Android’s best showoff app after Sky Map. Open SoundHound and it identifies nearly any song — even some you hum. It also finds lyrics and YouTube videos of song performances. The $5 version lets you identify an unlimited number of tunes. Users of the free version get five songs a month. 

EVERNOTE (FREE) Can’t afford a personal assistant? This will help. Evernote is a mobile notepad that synchronizes with desktop and browser software (also free). Use your smartphone to take a photo, record a voice memo or jot down a note, and the next time you open Evernote on your desktop computer, your mobile notes appear (and vice versa). The free version stores a fair amount of information, but $45 a year buys unlimited storage. 

URBANSPOON (FREE) Great for those with empty stomachs, full wallets and no ideas. Spin Urbanspoon’s slot machine and it offers restaurant suggestions. You can also choose certain attributes — like moderate prices and bistro food — and selections appear. The app includes reviews, contact information, maps and directions. 

QUICKOFFICE MOBILE SUITE ($10) You can read Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents on an Android phone, but you can’t edit them without dedicated apps. Quickoffice is, so far, the best of these apps. It lets you create documents in a pinch, but the app’s strength is letting you get bits of work done away from the office. 

SLACKER (FREE) You’ve most likely heard of Pandora, the great personalized radio service. Slacker is better, with a deeper catalog of songs. And unlike the Web version, you can download hours of music to your phone and listen when you are offline. (That feature is free to try, but a $4 monthly fee applies thereafter.) 

FXCAMERA (FREE) Android doesn’t have anything quite like Hipstamatic, the iPhone app that creates beautiful effects for your photos. FxCamera is close, with several cool filters to choose from, and quick sharing to Facebook. 

Honorable Mention

 

Glympse (free; open the app, hit a couple of buttons and Glympse lets a friend temporarily track your location); Angry Birds (free; not as slick as the iPhone version); Weather Channel (free; offers better forecasts than your phone’s standard weather app); Epicurious (free; find professionally tested recipes, with reviews and shopping lists — the free BigOven app is also very good); FlightTrack ($5; track any flight and get delay forecasts, seat suggestions and gate information); Yelp (free; find local services, restaurants and bars, including reviews); Layar (free; see customized information about your surroundings); Qik (free; broadcast live video from your phone to a Web site) ; DroidLight (free; it’s a flashlight, a strobe light or a message board in a crowded club — indispensable)
