o Microsoft Launches Advertising Technology Research Unit

Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft plans to launch a search advertising platform called adCenter by June in the U.S., which will replace the sponsored ads on its MSN sites currently being served by Yahoo's Overture Services. The company also announced the creation of the adCenter Incubation Lab (adLab), which will join advertising research efforts at its Washington-based adCenter and Chinese research lab. The adLab is developing technologies to deliver ads through video, TV, mobile devices and the Internet, using methods like paid search and contextual advertising. It is also developing tools to gather comprehensive demographic information on users, such as social network mining, so that advertisers have more information when targeting their ads. "The Microsoft team of top researchers in this field is unsurpassed and certain to produce compelling advances that will impact and ultimately change the game in online advertising," said Tarek Najm, general manager of adCenter at Microsoft. "With this long-term applied research, we will continue to help improve advertisers' return on investment by delivering rich audience intelligence information and enabling simple and complete control over all aspects of the advertising campaigns."

o Apple's Trademark of "Mobile Me" Hints at iPod Phone, Mobile Services

San Francisco - Apple has trademarked the phrase "Mobile Me," prompting some to speculate the company may be planning to introduce an iPod phone or other mobile content services, Reuters reported. "We believe this is further indication of (Apple's) strategic direction to extend its iPod + iTunes and Mac franchises into new business areas including smart phones, value-added mobile content services, and the broader consumer electronics space," said American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu. The trademark application, filed on Jan. 5, covers areas including computing devices, mobile devices, and mobile services including digital music, video, games, e-mail, and messaging across Internet, intranets, extranets, television, cellular, and satellite networks. Apple recently partnered with Motorola to put its iTunes software onto cell phones, and some have speculated that Apple plans to become a mobile virtual network operator, leasing network space from an existing mobile network to sell as its own mobile phone service.

o Florida Senate Takes State Video Game Sales Ban a Step Closer to Law

Tallahassee, Fla. - The state of Florida moved a step closer this week to passing a statewide ban on the sale of "ultra violent" video games to minors, with the passage of a bill in the Florida Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Services. "Left to their own devices, children often do not realize the harm they are causing themselves through the exposure to graphic sexual and violent content found in many of today's video games," said Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla, sponsor of the legislation. Lawmakers' efforts to crack down on the sale of violent games to minors have been consistently struck down as unconstitutional restrictions on First Amendment free speech rights by the courts, which have overturned similar laws in the states of Washington, California, Illinois and Michigan, as well as in St. Louis County and the city of Indianapolis, Ind. Along with Florida, lawmakers in states including Delaware, Indiana and Maryland are working to enact game sales bans. Efforts to pass a federal ban are being spearheaded by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who recently introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act.

o BT Confirms Plans to Launch U.K. Mobile TV Service in Summer

London - BT Group has confirmed its plan to launch its mobile TV service, BT Movio, for U.K. residents sometime this summer. BT said it would move ahead with the project after successfully conducting a trial, together with Virgin Mobile, of "real broadcast" mobile TV (using the digital radio spectrum, as opposed to 3G). BT Movio users will be able to watch ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, among others, and listen to more than 50 digital radio stations. The incumbent operator has invested somewhere in the region of "tens of millions" in the project, according to BT Movio Managing Director Emma Lloyd.

o New iTunes "Mini-Store" Raises Privacy Concerns

San Francisco - A new feature of the most recent update for Apple's iTunes application is brewing controversy, over its ability to send data on what songs are in each user's personal media library back to the company, according to published reports. The new "MiniStore" window -- which may be turned off by users -- automatically brings up data on selections available from its iTunes Music Store when users browse their own music collections, which generally contain CDs they purchased offline and then ripped to their computers. Computer experts told News.com the software also transmits data that links a user's unique iTunes account ID to their musical preferences.
