o Microsoft Introduces "Ultra-Mobile PC" Wireless Tablet Computer

Hannover, Germany - Microsoft on Thursday unveiled the product of its "Project Origami," a one-inch-thick, tablet-style PC with a 7-inch touch-screen that it calls the "Ultra-Mobile PC" (UMPC). The two-pound device runs a full version of Microsoft Windows XP, supports wireless Internet browsing, and features a 60GB hard drive. The first UMPCs are scheduled to ship for between $600 and $1,100 in April, from manufacturers including Samsung, Asus and Founder Group. Movielink, an Internet video-on-demand service that delivers movies using Microsoft technology, announced that its service will be included with UMPC devices, while Sling Media, whose Slingbox device allows users to access the premium pay-TV channels they subscribe to at home from any Internet-connected device, said it has developed a customized version of its software for UMPCs.

o Senators Want New Study on Effects of Media Violence on Behavior

Washington - A group of Senators including Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) and Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) has initiated efforts to conduct a Center for Disease Control and Prevention study that would examine "the effects of viewing and using electronic media, including television, computers, video games and the Internet on children's cognitive, social, physical, and psychological development." The Children Media Research and Advancement Act has passed a Senate committee and now heads to the full Senate for consideration. "America is a media-rich society, but despite the flood of information, we still lack critical information," Sen. Lieberman said, in a statement. "The questions about the effects -- positive or negative -- of media on our children's health, education and development are too important to go unasked and unanswered." A string of recent court decisions have struck down states' legislative attempts to regulate the sale of violent video games to minors, on the grounds that they are unconstitutional restrictions on free speech -- often stating that no solid data exists to prove a correlation between exposure to media violence and violent behavior. Lieberman and Clinton introduced similar legislation that would regulate video game sales at the federal level last year.

o Google Pays $90 Million to Settle Click-Fraud Lawsuit

Mountain View, Calif. - Shares of Google fell 3% on Thursday after the Internet search giant agreed to pay $90 million to settle its part of an industry-wide lawsuit alleging that it overcharged clients of its pay-per-click advertising service. The suit, filed last year by Lane's Gifts and Collectibles on behalf of thousands of advertisers, claims that the company, as well as others such as Yahoo, conspired with some advertisers to conceal the problem of "click fraud," in which malicious people repeatedly click on the ad links of their rivals to drive up the price they pay. Advertisers pay Google based on the number of times people click on their ads. Yahoo, which is also named in the suit, said that it plans to fight the allegations. Shares of Google fell $10.88 to close at $343.

o TiVo Introduces New Pricing Structure, Eliminates Lifetime Service Deal

Alviso, Calif. - TiVo introduced a new pricing structure on Thursday for its digital video recorder service, which essentially allows consumers to opt to pay no money for the device up front, instead bundling the cost with one- to three-year service agreements. "After extensive testing and evaluation of various pricing and packaging approaches, we will launch a subscription option that combines the sale of the TiVo service together with the TiVo box," said TiVo CEO Tom Rogers. "This is great for TiVo subscribers who will now have the ability to get TiVo service with no upfront hardware costs." The company will still allow consumers to pay for the long-term service agreements up front, but announced that next week it will eliminate its option to purchase a lifetime service agreement for the device. Under TiVo's new pricing structure, a TiVo box with a one-year service agreement will cost $19.95 per month, or $224 prepaid; a two-year agreement will cost $18.95 a month, or $369 prepaid; and a three-year agreement will be $16.95 a month, or $469 prepaid. The company also announced on Thursday that it ended its fiscal year in January 2006 with 4.4 million subscribers, a 45% increase over the previous year.

New York - Viacom's Showtime Networks announced on Thursday that it has created a joint venture with the Smithsonian Institution to offer video-on-demand programming. Smithsonian On Demand will develop, launch and operate Smithsonian-branded programming such as original documentaries and short subject films on scientific, cultural and historical events. Slated to launch in December 2006, the video-on-demand service will initially offer up to 40 hours of programming, to be refreshed each month.

o Large-Format Movie Exhibitor IMAX to Explore Possible Sale or Merger

Toronto - IMAX Corporation, the operator of large-format movie theaters, announced on Thursday that it has retained Allen & Company and UBS Investment Back as advisors to help the company explore strategic options, including a possible merger or sale of the company. "We have recently received several unsolicited inquiries, and believe this preliminary interest shows that there is awareness of the strength and attractive qualities of our business," said IMAX co-chairmen and co-CEOs Richard Gelfond and Bradley Wechsler. "We think this interest, coupled with our solid fiscal 2005 results and compelling growth opportunities, makes this an ideal time to explore our options." The announcement comes as IMAX posted a 54% increase in its fourth-quarter profits. Research Associates analyst Marla Backer told Reuters that potential suitors could include film studios like Warner Bros., or technology firms like Apple Computer or Microsoft.

o EU Embedded-Computer Scheme to Receive $3.2 Billion

Brussels - The EU announced that approximately $3.2 billion will be invested in a new research program called Artemis to develop embedded computer systems that control household appliances, consumer gadgets and cars. Embedded systems, which are often hidden from the user and cannot be easily manipulated, are found in nearly all electronics equipment used today. The EU said it would work closely with Europe's leading chip and systems companies to fund the program and that efforts were underway to tap into venture capital funds and private-public funding initiatives to support Artemis research and commercialization.

o NY Times: Some Labels See Digital Singles Cannibalizing Album Sales

Los Angeles - The New York Times reported on Thursday on the decision of some record labels to hold off on releasing new singles to digital services like iTunes, for fear they will cannibalize sales of more-profitable full-albums. Island Def Jam claims this strategy helped its artist Ne-Yo, whose single "So Sick" was released early to radio but not iTunes, and whose album "In My Own Words" went on to open at No. 1 with sales of over 301,000 copies. "If you know you have something of depth, you have to be careful about how you bring it into the marketplace," Island Def Jam COO Steve Bartels told The Times. "If everything is up and gone before you have a chance to listen to the album, what do you have?" However, "So Sick" was also downloaded 3.4 million times from free file-sharing services during its opening week. "The labels are shooting themselves in the foot," Rhapsody executive editor Tim Quirk told The Times. "You need to take advantage of every possible opportunity for people to pay in legitimate ways… Every single track that you are worried about is available for free whether you want it to be or not."
