Illume’s iZUP Mobile App Padlocks Cell Phones to Eliminate the Temptation to Talk or Text While Driving
Erin Kutz wrote:If you’ve been paying attention to news headlines, consumer safety reports, and state laws, you know that you shouldn’t be talking or texting on your cell phone while driving. But sometimes the temptation to stay off your phone is just too strong, especially when it rings or beeps with incoming calls or texts.
And now, there’s an app for that. It’s called iZUP (sounds like “eyes up”), from Newton, MA-based Illume Software, and it is like a virtual padlock for your mobile. The application harnesses GPS technology so that when you’re traveling faster than 5 miles per hour, your phone sends incoming calls to voicemail and prevents you from texting or making outgoing calls(there are a few exceptions, but more on that in a bit).
“Technology got us into this challenge, and technology has the chance to get us out of this challenge,” says Illume CEO Daniel Ross, who joined the company in January.
So far there’s been no shortage of opinions about texting or talking while behind the wheel, and no shortage of attempts at eliminating cell phone distractions for drivers, he says. Hardware products that shut down phones in cars are expensive, and cell phone carriers have viewed technologies that try to block driver cell phone usage at the network level as invasive, Ross says. In the meantime, consumers have long looked to Bluetooth technologies that allow them chat hands free, or software that translates voice to text, as safe (or at least safer) ways to talk and text while driving.
But recent consumer safety reports have shown that hands-free talking while driving demands multi-tasking, impairing driver performance and making it difficult for drivers to react quickly. So by far the safest way to deal with your phone while driving is to not use it. For Illume, this means nipping the temptation in the bud by preventing audible alerts from coming through while users are moving. The app is always running, so consumers don’t have to remember to turn their phones off or silence their ringers.
The idea came in 2006 from Darcy Ahl, now Illume’s VP of public affairs, who was a passenger as her teenage son was driving when both of their cell phones went off—causing them to swerve across a stretch of Connecticut’s I-95 highway. (Having grown up a few minutes from the heavily trafficked interstate, I know firsthand this is one of the last places on Earth you want to be caught off guard as a driver.) Luckily neither mother nor son was hurt, but the experience …Next Page »

Official Twitter App for Android Arrives!
We all knew this was coming… Twitter just announced the release of an official Twitter app. It is only for Android version “2.1 and above” (hint for the upcoming 2.2?).When apps work well with each other, sharing becomes as second nature on machines as it does in person. The Android platform is really good at that, and we’ve worked with the Android team to make it super easy to share what’s happening. Today we are excited to announce that Twitter for Android is available in Android Market!
It is clearly visible that Twitter’s developers had some help from Google Android team as it is very well merged in to the system. Obvioulsy, it includes a widget (small and large) but it also integrates nicely with the Contact app, that means you can check tweets from your friends from your phonebook, a bit like FaceBook does.
The announce also mentioned that Google will be open sourcing the code used in the app. It could mean that it would become part of Android and allow developer to use Twitter API as part of Android API, maybe that will be one of the “TBA” sessions at Google O/I.
I’ve only used it for few minutes but the design is very polished… Check on the Market or scan the QR-code below to install the app and give us your impression.
Would you stop using [place here the name you favorite Twitter app] to use the native app?

4 OS X Screenshot Tools
Taking screen captures in OS X is pretty simple and powerful. Today I’ll explain how to use the built-in screen capture functionality, the included application Grab, and a couple of third-party options that offer extra functionality.Built-in OS X Functionality
-
Command + Shift + 3
This keystroke results in a full screenshot and saves the resulting file as a PNG, to your desktop. The file is named with the date and time it was captured.
-
Command + Shift + 4
Pressing these keys initially brings up a cross hair on screen that displays the coordinates of the cursor. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture. When you release the mouse button, the capture will be saved to the desktop as previously mentioned.
If you press the spacebar while the crosshairs are visible, it changes into a camera icon that you can position over a specific window that you may wish to capture. (That window must be visible when you initiate the keystroke.)
During both modes you may hold the Control key at the time of capture. Doing so will save the resulting shot to the clipboard rather than a file on the desktop.
Grab
The Grab application resides in the /Applications/Utilities folder. It’s pretty simplistic, and essentially duplicates the functionality of the built-in OS X feature, albeit, with a couple of small differences. After you’ve taken the screenshot, it is displayed for you to review at which time you must explicitly save it, if it is indeed what you wanted. This also allows you to choose where you’re going to save the file. There’s a Preferences window where you can choose from eight cursor images to be captured in the resulting image. Otherwise, things are pretty much the same. The keystrokes are different, as you’ll see next.
-
Command + Shift + A
This keystroke results in a crosshair on screen that displays the coordinates of the cursor. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture.
-
Command + Shift + W
This keystroke allows you to move windows around to select the one you’d like to capture.
-
Command + Z
This keystroke results in a full screenshot.
-
Command + Shift + Z
This keystroke results in a full screenshot after a 10 second timer elapses.
Skitch
Skitch is developed by the rockstars at Plasq. It’s super powerful and really easy to use. You get to edit size, crop, draw nondestructively, there’s multi-format export, web upload, copy to clipboard, review history and much more. The best part is, it’s 100% free to use!
-
Command + Shift + 5
Pressing this keystroke brings up the (now familiar) crosshairs to select the region of the screen you wish to capture. The image is then opened into Skitch for further editing and use — this is the same for each key combo.
-
Command + Shift + 6
This keystroke results in a full screen capture.
-
Command + Shift + 7
This keystroke brings up a frame that you can resize to capture a portion of the screen. Initially this may seem to be the same as the crosshair — the difference is, the frame retains its dimensions each time, allowing you to capture uniform shots multiple times.
LittleSnapper
LittleSnapper is developed by RealMac Software. It approaches screenshots from an iPhoto perspective, allowing you to catalog, group, and tag your shots for later use. There’s a built-in browser for grabbing all or a portion of a webpage. The export feature allows you to save a webpage to a PDF file, or any screen capture to multiple image formats. There’s also an editor for tweaking the shots once you’ve captured them. With all this functionality comes a price — it’s $39. There’s also a free trial to see if it’s a good fit for you.
-
Command + Option + 3
This keystroke produces a full screen capture. Once captured, it is loaded into the LittleSnapper gallery for further editing and use — this behavior is consistent with all key combos.
-
Command + Shift + Option + 3
Similar to Grab, this gives you a short timer before the full screen image is captured.
-
Command + Option + 4
This keystroke gives you the crosshairs to choose the region of the screen to capture.
-
Command + Option + 5
This keystroke captures a specific window on screen. At least a portion of the window must be visible before initiating the keystroke.
So depending on your screenshot needs, there’s an app for that (sorry, I couldn’t help myself). The built-in tools are great and produce nice results. I personally opt for Skitch almost daily as it provides the level of control I need, but can see where something like LittleSnapper would be ideal for the designer types. There are plenty of other options out there too, if you want to get your Google on. But hopefully we’ve armed you with a little more knowledge today, to get that perfect screenshot the next time you need one.

Some small changes in the latest Windows Phone 7 emulator build
Microsoft has recently released an updated build of their Windows Phone 7 emulator, and Rustygrom over at XDA-Developers has noticed the following apparent changes.
- It seems a bit more buggy. I’ve noticed some odd screen drawing issues and even jaggy lines. Maybe it’s my laptop?
- Most apps seem slightly updated and more polished. A few quirks here and there.
- Phone! Yup, you can see the dialer and it even fakes working.
- Office is actually working. Looks like the apps shown in the videos they released.
The screen shots above show a new entry on the press and hold menu to uninstall applications, the next show the dailer. On calls an unobtrusive drop down allows switching to the dailer from other apps.
More screen shots after the break.
The latest emulator build, without the whole SDK, can be downloaded here.

Xconomy’s Healthcare In Transition Forum: In Photos
Erin Kutz wrote:Monday was Xconomy’s first ever event dedicated specifically to exploring how information technology can be used to improve the healthcare system. The event opened with a keynote address by Frank Moss, director of the MIT Media Lab (our venue for the forum), who used a clip from Saturday Night Live satirizing the Middle Age-technique of bloodletting to demonstrate the sluggish pace at which doctors adopt new technologies. This introduced us to a theme that ran throughout the event: that patients will assume much of the power in thrusting the healthcare industry forward.
John Moore, a physician and MIT Media Lab researcher, offered a look at the technology and interfaces allowing patients to communicate more effectively with caregivers both near and far. Executives from San Francisco-based Keas, the Microsoft Healthcare Innovation Lab, EMC Healthcare Consulting, and Life Image, each took the stage for an “innovation profile.” They talked about how their technologies are putting control of healthcare more in patients’ hands and how the growing volume of data in the medical field will fuel enhanced physician care. Following our rave-drawing executive panel on the Internet’s role in transforming medicine, a slew of audience members lined up to ask questions of the speakers (and in some cases grill them), voicing concern on topics such as the degree of control patients should have in pushing the healthcare system for changes and employers’ management of healthcare costs.
The day concluded with spotlights of companies that are developing technology to make people healthier, including FitnessKeeper, the startup behind the RunKeeper mobile app, and Vitality, a maker of Internet-connected pillboxes designed to keep patients on track with taking their prescription meds. Many of the speakers addressed the myriad inefficiencies in the system, but also acknowledged that patients need to take greater responsibility in leading healthier lifestyles.

Northwest Under-the-Radar Deals: 11 Financings Worth $1 Million or Less in March
Erin Kutz wrote:When it came to startup investing in the Northwest last month, it was a bit of a give and take. Washington-based companies raised about $21 million across three deals, each worth more than $1 million, plummeting from the $53.5 million that companies pulled in across 10 such transactions in February.
But the number of “under-the-radar” deals—what we call startup financings worth less than $1 million—more than doubled from February to March. We tracked 11 transactions under $1 million for the region last month, a jump from the five under-the-radar deals that area startups inked in February. The stats are courtesy of our partner CB Insights, a New York-based private company intelligence platform.
The trend was not unique to the Northwest. Across the country, the list of smaller deals trumped their larger counterparts. The New England under-the-radar funding list for March was the longest we had seen all year, while Massachusetts companies pulled in the smallest amount of funding this year in the monthly list of bigger venture deals we reported on.
In March, 10 Northwest under-the-radar financings went to companies in Washington, while one Portland, OR-based company nabbed some funding ($500,000 in equity for wind turbine maker Skyron Systems). Of the 11-transaction list, six deals were in equity and five were based in debt. The top deal was a $853,288 offering of equity, options, and warrants that went to Moseo, a Kirkland, WA-based company behind the website SeniorHomes.com, an online directory of elderly care information (which just changed its name last week).
There are a few companies that, while not at the top of the list, are worth noting. We might not have included Mad Fiber, a Seattle-based maker of carbon bicycle wheels—except for the fact that it is working out of a former bakery, and using the ovens and freezers that previously played a role in constructing dough and pastries as part of its manufacturing process. (Now that’s innovation you can’t ignore.) HomePipe Networks, a Seattle company that pulled in $215,000 in debt-based funding, also struck my interest. It is making networking software that enables you to access content on your home computer anywhere, using your mobile phone. And there’s Fridge Door, a Seattle Web startup that’s too stealthy for a website at this point, but has what I think is a cool name.
We saw a few names on the March under-the-radar list that are familiar to us. We wrote about online travel site Yapta when it raised a $2 million Series B round last June. In February, the Seattle-based company announced Kayak.com would be powering the flight search engine component of its website. Yapta showed up on our under-the-radar list with a $300,000 mixed offering of debt, options, and warrants. Also, Iverson Genetic Diagnostics reprised its spot on the under-the-radar list, with a $110,000 transaction of debt, options, and warrants in March. (The Bothell, WA-based company also made it on the February list with $341,000 in equity-based funding.)
Check out the full list of under-the-radar transactions below:
Moseo Kirkland, WA Providers of SeniorHomes.com, an online elderly care directory Equity* $853,288 Playteau Seattle, WA A stealthy video game company Debt $620,000 Skyron Systems Portland, OR A maker of vertical-axis wind turbines Equity $500,000 Lightfleet Camas, WA A developer of multiprocessing computing systems that use light to speed up data flow Equity $375,000 Fridge Door Seattle, WA A stealthy Web startup Equity $350,000 Yapta Seattle, WA An online travel site that tracks airfare and hotel prices Debt* $300,000 Headsprout Seattle, WA A maker of interactive learning programs Debt* $256,751 Buuteeq Seattle, WA A provider of hosted digital marketing services for small and medium hotels Equity $249,999 HomePipe Networks Seattle, WA A provider of mobile networking software allowing users to access information on their home computers Debt* $215,000 Mad Fiber Seattle, WA A bicycle wheel maker operating out of a former bakery Equity $200,000 Iverson Genetic Diagnostics Bothell, WA A developer of advanced genetic testing Debt* $110,000 *includes options or warrants

Novartis Buys Alnylam Shares, Xconomy Holds First Ever Health IT Forum, Vertex Alumni Spread Throughout Life Sciences Sector, & More Boston-Area Life Sciences News
Erin Kutz wrote:
It was a big news week for the intersection of information technology and healthcare, with our first ever forum completely dedicated to the topic, and a few startups in the space nabbing funding. Headlines from big pharma companies rounded it out for us, too.
—Athenahealth (NASDAQ: ATHN), the Watertown, MA-based maker of electronic health records software systems, announced it has hired IBM’s Managed Process Business Services unit for IT and administrative support. The deal with IBM (NYSE: IBM) will allow Athenahealth to focus on improving the administrative and reimbursement aspects of its products, it said in an announcement.
—Waltham, MA-based drugmaker Alkermes (NASDAQ: ALKS) revealed its royalty rate for exenatide once-weekly (Bydureon), a diabetes drug from Eli Lilly and Amylin Pharmeceuticals that uses Alkermes’ chemistry technology. The Waltham company will take in 8 percent of sales of the first 40 million units of the treatment sold per year, which could bring in about $160 million if Bydureon is priced comparably to an existing twice-daily version of exenatide. Alkermes would also take a 5.5 percent royalty rate on sales beyond those first 40 million units.
—Novartis exercised its option to buy 55,223 more shares of Cambridge, MA-based Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALNY), for a total of about $1 million. The deal allows pharmaceutical giant Novartis to maintain its 13.4 percent stake in the company, which is developing treatments using RNA interference technology.
—Charles River Laboratories International plans to buy Chinese R&D services firm WuXi PharmaTech for $1.6 billion in cash and common stock, the companies announced on Monday. The $21.25-per-share deal, which is subject to shareholder approval, represents a 28 percent premium over WuXi’s closing stock price on Friday.

Warning – This is leaked beta testing software, and wasn’t meant for general use. Flashing it will wipe your phone, and take away root if you have it. As always, use your best judgment and flash at your own risk!

GPS Tab For Touch Flo 3D AKA Sense
While reading the long list of threads on the touch HD2
section of XDA, I found something that might interest those hardcore HTC sense users. This mod/tab was created by a Russian Fed citizen on XDA, whose called xaoc747. He managed to envision a new way to display your compass, and GPS data, and has made it happen with the first release of his new Sense Tab. This Tab contains many thing going on at once, and I am sure all HTC HD2 users that want the experience will loss a lot of battery in the process. But that’s neither here or there. If you want to have your GPS in your face and easily accessable at all time this tab comes with:
– work with GPS module without using a third-party navigation software
– definition of current position
– definition of object motion parameters for calculation between the current and previous points
– Determination of directions and distances to given calculation points
– recording of tracks (routes) in automatic and manual modes in a format Yandex maps with further viewing them
– an analysis of the tracks (the specified distance route, maximum and average speed on the route and time of movement on the route)
– Work with the payment points (in the format tags Yandex maps)
– sending SMS with your coordinates in the automatic and manual modes for a given number
– to set the maximum speed and control the speed while driving with the gradation by the fineNow this might not be the best GPS system you will have on your Windows Phones(I personally use iGo,) but for a free software that looks good and comes with all these features… I only have one question, where do I sign up
.You can download it, and install it with the instructions.
