The jury is still out whether Foursquare can figure out a way to monetize its hot location-based mobile service, but that hasn't stopped the World Economic Forum from including it among a class of 31 companies deemed pioneers in technology.

For two men who outwardly have little in common, save for spectacular wealth, Murdoch and Apple boss Steve Jobs are awfully simpatico these days. Murdoch has often gushed with admiration for the iPad, which he calls a "game-changer" that will revive the newspaper industry. And the Wall Street Journal is one of the only publications that already sells subscriptions to its iPad edition.

My daughter just told me about a 'dream' she had regarding one of her caretakers at school pulling down her panties and then pulling down his pants and underwear... "and we were really close to each other...". She was acting really embarrassed about the whole thing and shy. I kept my cool and played for a while, then went back to her dream. More of the same. I don't know what to do. She's 6, so she's known for telling stories, but this is just too far out for my comfort. We've never talked about anything like this, and she's never seen anything of the sort. Any advice, my Reddit community? Do I call the police? Do I let her go back to school? Your assistance is appreciated.... Greatly.... submitted by shrike71 to AskReddit [link] [148 comments]

Google Wave is far from dead, and developers, early adopters and enterprises will be glad to hear it. Today Google announced it will expand on the code it has already open sourced, building Wave into a functional application that will allow users to run wave servers, host their own waves and build bigger and better applications with the real-time collaboration technology. "Since the beginning, it has been our vision that the Google Wave protocols could support a new generation of communication and collaboration tools," engineer Alex North wrote on the Google Wave developer blog. Sponsor Google had big plans for Wave - it was supposed to replace email and the killer app among Google Apps, but the company basically gave up on the project earlier this month (see Google Wave Is Dead). It still seems possible for the technology to do big things. But it sounds like Google plans to move on after the application is released. The future of the open source project will be defined by developers' contributions, North wrote. Wave In A Box will not have the "full functionality" of the Gmail-integrated Web app, but it will feature threaded conversations and support importing data from wave.google.com. The release of Wave as an application could be a big deal for developers, especially at businesses that want to take advantage of Wave for real-time collaboration and discussion (see our post, 5 Services That Leverage Google Wave). Wave was always intended for people to run on their own machines, but this release will make the process much easier. Developers and enterprise users that have been eyeing Wave will be more likely to take the technology into their own hands and build things like feature-rich Web forums, productivity tools and apps to facilitate collaborative projects. Google did not specify a timeline for the release of the new code, but it has said that wave.google.com will be available at least through the end of the year. Discuss

Since Twitter acquired Tweetie and rolled out an official iPhone client, the company has focused more and more on improving the mobile experience across all smartphone platforms.Twitter CEO Ev Williams wrote just now on the company blog that mobile usage of the site is up 62% since in just over four months, and 16% of all new Twitter users are starting out on mobile devices as opposed to web signups (this number is up from just 5% earlier this year).In the days before Twitter started issuing official apps on a platform-by-platform basis, the company wasnt seeing the kind of mobile adoption it had hoped for. Williams wrote, Even though there was a plethora of third-party Twitter apps, people were having trouble finding and selecting one because none were called Twitter. This kept them from using Twitter at all.The company adopted a new strategy for mobile; rather than leaving all the mobile app development to third parties, Twitter decided to consolidate efforts. In the short term, this caused some consternation for third-party devs; however, looking at Twitters stats, its clear the company did the right thing for its shareholders and bottom line.Twitter acquired Tweetie in May this year; this was our first indication that Twitter would be creating and distributing its own mobile apps for a change. Tweetie was revamped and renamed Twitter for iPhone in May. A BlackBerry app was released in April, and the companys official Android Twitter app was released later the same month.Twitter is also seeing strong growth in its mobile site and SMS service, and Williams notes that third-party apps such as TweetDeck continue to be valuable and important parts of the Twitter mobile landscape.And as for the long tail, Williams writes, There are a tremendous number of other apps that people are using, not necessarily as their main Twitter client, but as an alternative way to create or view Tweets. The number of registered OAuth applications is now at almost 300,000 this number has nearly tripled since Chirp [Twitter's developer conference, which was held in April in San Francisco].While the above chart shows percentages of unique users per app, wed also love to see a breakdown by volume of tweets.Has your own mobile usage of Twitter changed or grown at all with Twitters releasing several official apps? Do you still use third-party applications for tweeting on the go?

Zing! Burn! Ouch! We know, it's too easy, but we just had to. Sony, HP and lots of others have dealt with burn-related recalls in the past, and now it's Toshiba's turn. Today, the company has issued a voluntary recall on their T Series notebook computers due to a

It's not as mysterious as it seems, this mini-controversy about find friends on Facebook for Apple's new social music network called According to sources familiar with Facebook's platform, the social networking giant essentially denied Apple's Ping access to application programming interfaces that would allow it to search for an iTunes user's friends on Facebook who also had signed up for Ping. So Apple shut the feature down.

As we pointed out earlier, today is Google Chrome's second birthday. Since it launched in beta on September 2, 2008, it has come a long way (it's already 6 versions deep). Back then, it was Windows-only, with official Mac and Linux support only coming late last year. But now it's on the verge of another milestone: becoming the top browser coming to this site. I've checked out our logs over the past few years to see how well Chrome has been doing compared to its rival browsers. The numbers are shockingly strong for such a new entry -- particularly in the past year. Obviously, TechCrunch has a tech-centric audience, but I don't think it's off-base to say that you're also a leading audience of early adopters that often point to where the general public will be in the future.
