Groupon Raising Up to $950 Million in Funding [UPDATED]

Groupon has filed for a Series G funding round that authorizes it to raise up to $950 million, according to a new report. The new round of funding comes just weeks after the group-buying website rejected a $6 billion acquisition offer from Google.
According to VC Expert, Groupon filed for a certificate to authorize the Series G round last week (an amended certificate of incorporation) and will be filing another document next week outlining the exact amount it intends to raise. We’re working to get our hands on those documents now.

If the report is accurate, Groupon’s post-money valuation would be somewhere between $6.4 billion to $7.8 billion. It’s not clear who is participating in the round, nor is it clear how far along Groupon is in the fundraising process. However, today’s news lays the groundwork for what could be one of the biggest venture capital rounds in history.

We have reached out to Groupon for comment.

Google Launches Maps 5.0 for Android

Google Maps 5.0 – the new version of the app that was recently demoed at the Le Web as well as D: Dive into Mobile conference – is now available for download in the Android Market.

Two big new features in this release are 3D view and offline rerouting. The 3D view uses vector graphics to dynamically draw the map on the screen of your device. You can tilt it, rotate it and smoothly zoom in and out the map with finger gestures. Another new feature is the compass mode, which will make the map rotate to match your perspective, so you can get a better idea of where you are.


Also, you don’t have to worry (so much) about being offline, as the app now caches the areas next to the one you’re currently in, meaning you’ll be able to seamlessly keep navigating for a while even when offline. If you’re using Google’s turn-by-turn GPS navigation, the app can now calculate a different route, even if you’re offline. You still need a connection to start a route, however. This feature will be rolled out gradually over the next couple of weeks.
The new version of Google Maps will work on Android 1.6 devices, but only owners of Android 2.0+ devices will be able to enjoy the new 3D and offline capabilities.

Can we follow these things.....in 2011

Skype Video Calling Coming to Mobile Soon

Skype Down for Many Users

It appears that many of the millions of people who rely on Skype are having issues accessing the service this morning.
 

On its Twitter account, the company acknowledged an issue, tweeting: “Some of you may have problems signing in to Skype – we’re investigating, and we’re sorry for the disruption to your conversations.”
Some of our staff are able to sign on, but are unable to see any of their contacts. Meanwhile, users are rapid fire tweeting about Skype’s downtime.

Last month, Skype hit a new usage record, hosting 25 million people on its service concurrently, speaking to both the ubiquity of the service and the problem created when it goes down. Let’s just hope this doesn’t rival the Skype outage of 2007, which saw the service down for an extended period of time.

Update (3:20 p.m. ET): Skype has posted an update on its blog, assuring users that the service should return in “a few hours.”

Update #2: Skype has explained today’s downtime on its blog, nothing that “Customers using the enterprise version of Skype for Windows may still experience delays signing in.”

ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் ஊழலின் குறுக்கு வெட்டு தோற்றம்

ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் ஊழலின் நேரடி பின்விளைவுகள் ?
மக்களின் தொலை தொடர்பு கட்டணத்தில் ஒவ்வொரு அழைப்புக்கும் 40 பைசா கூடுதலாக செலவாகும். உங்கள் மாத மொபைல் பில் 500 ரூபாய் என்றால் உண்மையில் நீங்கள் கட்டவேண்டிய தொகை 100 மட்டுமே. 400 ரூபாய் அதிகம் செலுத்துகிறீர்கள்.

அரசுக்கு வருவாய் இழப்பு ஒரு லட்சம் கோடிக்கும் மேல். தற்போதைய விலைவாசி உயர்வை இந்த ஒரு லட்சம் கோடியின் மூலம் கணிசமாக குறைத்திருக்க முடியும். நாட்டின் வளர்ச்சி திட்டங்களை விரைந்து முடித்திட இது பெரும் உதவியாய் இருந்திருக்கும். இன்னும் எண்ணற்ற காரியங்களை இதன் மூலம் சாதித்திருக்கலாம்.

ஸ்பெக்ட்ரம் ஊழலின் மறைமுக பின்விளைவுகள்?
எல்லாவற்றிற்கும் ஒரு விலை உண்டு என்பது நாட்டின் பிரதமரை கூட விலைக்கு வாங்க முடியும் என்ற அளவில் முடிந்திருக்கிறது. இந்தியா போன்ற மாபெரும் சந்தை பொருளாதாரம் கொண்ட ஒரு நாடு, வல்லரசாக வலுப்பெருவதில், வளர்ந்த நாடாக மாறுவதில் இது ஒரு பெரும் தடை கல். பணம் தின்னும் காக்கை கூட்டத்திற்கு இந்தியா உணவாக எளிதில் மாறக்கூடும். ஏற்கனவே மாறிவிட்டதென்றாலும் முழுதாக மாற வில்லை. முழுவதும் இரையாக இது ஒரு முக்கிய காரணமாக இருக்க கூடும்.

இதுவே நமது தேசப்பாதுகாப்பிலும் எதிரொலிக்கும். எங்கும் ஓட்டை எதிலும் ஓட்டை என்றால் மக்களுக்கு மிஞ்சுவது என்று எதுவும் இருக்காது. ஊழல் மிகுந்த, கட்டுபாடற்ற சமூகம் புரட்சிக்கு மக்களை இட்டுசெல்லும். அது நாட்டிற்கும் நல்லதல்ல, மக்களுக்கும் நல்லதல்ல. உண்மையில் இந்தியா ஒரு மாபெரும் கலவரத்திற்கும், பெரும் உயிர் சேதத்திற்கும் தன்னை அறியாமல் தயாராகி கொண்டிருக்கிறது. அந்த கலவரமும் நீண்ட காலம் நடக்க கூடியதாக இருக்கும். அது காலம் தாழ்த்தப்பட்டு கொண்டே வந்தது. இந்த ஊழலின் பின் விளைவுகள் அதனை வேகபடுத்தும். இது போன்ற எண்ணற்ற புரட்சிகளை வரலாற்றில் சான்றாக காணலாம். அடிப்படை காரணம் ஒன்று தான். ஊழலும் சுரண்டலும் சர்வாதிகாரமும் கொண்ட ஆட்சியாளர்கள் மட்டுமே. மற்ற இரண்டும் இருந்தாலும் இந்தியாவில் முழு அளவிலான சர்வாதிகாரம் இல்லாததே மக்கள் புரட்சியை தள்ளிபோடுகிறது.

ஊழல் அரசியல்வாதிகளின் நிலை மட்டும் எப்போதும் பாதுகாப்பாக உள்ளதே?
அது உண்மை இல்லை. அளவுக்கு அதிகமாக ஊழல் செய்யும் அரசியல்வாதிகள் தங்களுக்கு தாங்களே சவக்குழி தோண்டி கொள்கிறார்கள். இன்று ஐரோப்பிய நாடுகளில் ஊழலும் சுரண்டலும் மிக மிக குறைவு. அவர்களின் வரலாற்றில் அதை ஆட்சியாளர்கள் மூன்று நூற்றண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பே செய்து பார்த்து, அதனால் விளைந்த புரட்சிக்கு பூண்டோடு குடும்பத்தை காவு கொடுத்து, சுரண்டப்பட்ட சொத்து மொத்தத்தையும் மக்களுக்கே கொடுத்துவிட்டு நாட்டைவிட்டே ஓடிய கதை ஏராளம். அவை இன்றைய ஆட்சியாளர்களுக்கு பாடம்.

ஏன் நம்ம நாட்டிலேயே ஊர் ஊருக்கு ஜமீன் ராஜாக்கள் மக்களை சுரண்டி வாழ்ந்துகொண்டு, ஆங்கிலேயர்களுக்கு ஜால்ரா அடித்துக்கொண்டு தானே இருந்தார்கள். என்ன ஆயிற்று இன்று. 99.99 சதவித ராஜாக்களின் பரம்பரை அட்ரஸ் இல்லாமல் போனது தானே உண்மை. அவர்களின் சொத்துக்கள் நாட்டுடமையாக்கபடவில்லையா? இது தான் இன்றைய ராசாக்களுக்கும் பொருந்தும். நடுத்தெருவுக்கு அவர்களின் பரம்பரை வந்து கஷ்டப்படும்.

புதுகோட்டை தொண்டைமான் பரம்பரை என்று சொன்னால் பச்சத்தண்ணி கூட கொடுக்கமாட்டார்கள் என்று இன்றைய வம்சாவளிகள் அதை சொல்வதில்லையாம். என்று நான் முன்பு ஒரு முறை படித்த பத்திரிக்கை செய்தி தான் இப்போது ஞாபகத்திற்கு வருகிறது. பெருங்குடும்பமும், எண்ணற்ற சொத்துக்களும், எல்லையற்ற தொழில்களும் கொண்டு வானளாவ இருந்தாலும் இன்றைய அரசியல் பெருச்சாளிகள் இந்த நிலைக்கு தான் தள்ளப்படுவார்கள்.

Bank of America Blocks WikiLeaks Payments

Financial giant Bank of America has added its name to the list of institutions dropping support for WikiLeaks, announcing that it has stopped handling any payments to or from the whistle-blowing website.

Said the bank in a statement to the Charlotte Observer, “This decision is based upon our reasonable belief that WikiLeaks (Wikileaks) may be engaged in activities that are, among other things, inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments.”


As the huge American financial institution confidently declared Saturday that it was standing against the website headed by controversial figure Julian Assange, his WikiLeaks organization fired back a Twitter post urging consumers to stop doing business with Bank of America. “We ask that all people who love freedom close out their accounts at Bank of America,” pleaded the WikiLeaks tweet.

Bank of America’s action is certain to tempt hackers who’ve named themselves “Operation Payback.” These supporters of WikiLeaks have been launching denial of service (DOS) attacks against institutions trying to thwart WikiLeaks for most of this month.

However, Rich Mogul, an analyst with the security firm Securosis, told Yahoo Finance, “Bank of America, I can guarantee you, is one of the top targets in the world.” He added that the bank is likely to have strong defenses, but couldn’t guarantee Bank of America could fend off any attack.

Even though the bank has lots of experience dealing with DOS attacks, today’s statement could result in a new wave of attempts at a security breach

Netflix Looking for Facebook

Netflix could be on its way to Facebook. Netflix hasn’t announced Facebook integration yet, but the company is hiring “a founding member of the new Social Systems engineering team at Netflix,” according to a recently posted job description.


Instead of sticking with the less-than-popular “Friends” feature Netflix abandoned a few months ago, it appears that the company might now tap into Facebook’s base of 550 million users, perhaps to “Like” and comment about movies they’ve seen.

The available position is listed on a Netflix job board as “Facebook Integration – Engineer/Architect,” and refers to building systems that use the Facebook social graph “to create a more social Netflix experience.”

Finally, Netflix gets with the Facebook program. This apparent development could make Netflix even more popular, adding to the explosive rise of the company’s streaming video services, the growth of which has nearly tripled in the past year.

YouTube Transforms Its Homepage Into a Giant Newsfeed

YouTube has unveiled a new version of its homepage with the singular goal of turning it into a destination rather than an afterthought.
YouTube has been quietly testing a new version of the homepage for over a month now, but starting today, the video website is letting all of its users opt into the new homepage. At first glance, it doesn’t look all that different — there aren’t any radical changes to the design. However, there have been several changes to the user interface that YouTube hopes will draw visitors to the homepage more regularly.


The biggest difference is the “combined list,” which is essentially a newsfeed combining your subscription, friend activity and recommendations. The company put all of these elements together because it wanted to make the experience simple and seamless, unlike the previous version, which is filled with recommendation boxes and pushes the newsfeed below the fold.

Personalization was also a focus of the homepage redesign. Videos can be deleted from your homepage, and videos you’ve already watched will be grayed out so you know what you still have left to watch. The new homepage also loads more video content, resurfaces your most recent liked and favorited videos and places links to your inbox and video comments more prominently.

I've included a screenshot of the new YouTube homepage and the old one below. Let us know what you think of the redesign in the comments.

YouTube Increases Upload Time Limit Even More

Impossibly long videos featuring cats repeatedly slamming into mirrors are about to get even longer, as YouTube has announced that it’s extending its upload time limit.


According to the YouTube blog, those users who have a history of complying with the YouTube Community Guidelines and copyright rules will no longer be constrained by the 15-minute upload limit. YouTube (YouTube) doesn’t specify how long the upload limit will be, just that users can click the “Upload” button at the top of the site to see their accounts qualify.

In July, YouTube increased its upload time limit from 10 to 15 minutes, stating that it had been beefing up its copyright protection tools, i.e. the Content ID system (which lets copyright holders have more control over their content), making it less likely that users could upload large chunks of movies and TV shows without permission. The newly extended limit is also a result of advances in the video-sharing site’s copyright tools.

LeT planned to kill CM Modi using car: WikiLeaks

The United States diplomatic cables released by whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks revealed that the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) had planned an attack on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.




The LeT planed the plot to assassinate Narendra modi just seven months after 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack. The plan was to kill Modi was described as "operations…involving a car" in the diplomatic cable sent from the office of the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

The cable described that the plot on Modi was planned by a Pakistan LeT member Shafiq Khafa and scheduled to carry out by Indian LeT member Sameer Hussein.




The cable sent on Jun 2009 said, "LeT member Shafiq Khafa, possibly preparing for operation, and Hussein -- an India-based Lashkar-e-Taiba member -- continued operational planning on three tasks in early June. The tasks were associated with a possible operation against Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, the establishment of a training camp and unspecified work involving a car. Hussein would coordinate his activities with an India-based colleague identified as Sameer."

Anuradha Koirala is CNN Hero of the Year

Gets $ 1 lakh to help Maiti Nepal keep doing its bit to stop women trafficking.

Anuradha Koirala, a crusader known for her anti-human trafficking drive through her non-profit making organisation Maiti Nepal, has been named the 2010 CNN Hero of the Year. This is the first time that a Nepali has bagged the prestigious international award.




CNN’s Anderson Cooper announced the result at the conclusion of the fourth-annual CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute, from the Shrine Auditorium amid a gala event in Los Angeles, California, before an audience of nearly 5,000 today.

Anuradha Koirala was chosen by the public in an online poll that ran for eight weeks on CNN.com. Koirala was introduced by actress Demi Moore, who along with her husband, Ashton Kutcher, created DNA, The Demi and Ashton Foundation, which aims to eliminate child sex slavery worldwide.

“Every day this woman confronts the worst of what humanity has to offer,” Moore said of Koirala.

Koirala’s Maiti Nepal is best known for its mission to curb women trafficking from Nepal to the sex industries abroad, and the rescue and rehabilitation of over 12,000 victims since 1993.

“This is the victory of every single Nepali and all those fighting for the cause. This award is something more than personal,” she told The Himalayan Times. “The honour has made us more responsible to overcome a shared concern of trafficking in humans. We should not wait for tomorrow what we can do today. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all who always supported me.”

Back home, premises of Maiti Nepal was lit up and fireworks were played. More than 150 women and children participated in the ceremony. Anita Syangtan (17), a ninth grader of Teresa Academy being run by Maiti Nepal, said, “We are all proud of you, Anuradha didi. Keep up the good work. Nepal needs more people like you so that children like me are not deprived of the privilege of education.” The girl, once a victim of domestic violence, was rescued by Maiti Nepal five years ago.

Manju Baniya (16) sheltering in Maiti Nepal was a bundle of joy on hearing the news. “But for Anuradha didi, we would have been compelled to live a life of misery. She did for us what our kin did not,” claimed Baniya.

A wave of euphoria swept through the country as Anuradha was named for the award. Bhuwan KC, a noted Nepali cine star who joined a promotional campaign to get his fans vote online for Anuradha, expressed a sense of happiness and relief with the announcement.

“She really deserves it. The award, I hope, will inspire her to do more in saving thousands of Nepali women and children from being trafficked to foreign soils,” remarked KC, who enjoys mass following. Jeevan Gurung, who voted for Anuradha 53 times, said,




“Anuradha is the right choice for the award, as she helped 12,000 girls.”

Sapana Pradhan Malla, a lawmaker and human rights lawyer, termed it as an international recognition to a Nepali-led drive against heinous crimes like trafficking in human.

Congratulatory notes also poured in for her via internet. Astha commented on cnn.com, “So proud of you being a Nepali! Thanks for your efforts and hard work to save the innocent souls.”

The top 10 CNN Heroes, chosen by a blue-ribbon panel from an initial pool of more than 10,000 nominations from more than 100 countries, were each honoured with a documentary tribute and introduced by a celebrity presenter. The programme also featured performances by Grammy Award-winners Bon Jovi, John Legend and Sugarland.

Anuradha will receive $100,000 to continue her work with Maiti Nepal, in addition to the $25,000 awarded to each of the top 10 Heroes honoured.

Obama-arrives-in-new-delhi-on-official

NEW DELHI: US President Barack Obama touched down in New Delhi on Sunday to start the official leg of his three-day trip to India, which will see him, hold talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Obama began his visit with a trip to commercial capital Mumbai, where he announced 10 billion dollars' worth of trade deals on Saturday and met leading Indian businessmen.

Obama's itinerary in New Delhi includes an address to parliament on Monday and meetings with Singh and President Pratibha Patil, plus the leader of the ruling Congress party, Sonia Gandhi.

He will also visit the Raj Ghat, the site of independence hero Mahatma Gandhi's cremation after his assassination in 1948. Obama visited Gandhi's former home in Mumbai on Saturday.

Alarm glitch could have iPhone users scrambling

iPhone

CUPERTINO, Calif. – Apple says the end of daylight savings time could cause problems for iPhone users.

The Cupertino-based company said on its website that repeating alarms set on iPhones and some versions of the iPod touch may not recognize the end of daylight saving time and may work incorrectly shortly before or shortly after the Sunday morning time change.

Apple says devices using the mobile operating system iOS 4.1 are likely to trigger alarms before or after the time change.

The company recommends turning off repeating alarms and setting them manually until Monday, when it's safe to set them to repeat again. Apple is releasing an update of the software later this month to address the glitch.

US to support India’s membership in NSG

In a move that will be welcomed in India, Obama on Saturday said the US will work to reform export laws as Washington readies to express “in-principle” support to New Delhi’s membership of elite nuclear clubs like the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

“We are reforming export control system, so we will make sure that restrictions don’t stand in the way of high-tech trade between our countries... I am pleased to announce that we will work with India to fundamentally reform our control on exports which will allow greater cooperation in the range of high-tech sectors and strengthen our non-proliferation efforts,” Obama said while addressing corporate honchos in Mumbai.

Buy more from America and help create more jobs there, was Obama’s message to the 400 entrepreneurs he met at the Trident Hotel.

He urged India to import more from American companies and asked for reducing trade barriers while committing to reciprocate.

India accounts for two per cent of US exports but there was scope to improve as India has a huge young middle class, he said. “The US sees potential to sell exports in one of the fastest growing markets in the world.” Obama also announced that “several landmark” deals worth USD 10 billion have been reached between the two countries for creating about 50,000 jobs in the US.
