M16 rifle

The M16 (officially Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16) is the United States military designation for the AR-15 rifle adapted for semi-automatic, three-round burst and full-automatic fire. Colt purchased the rights to the AR-15 from ArmaLite, and currently uses that designation only for semi-automatic versions of the rifle. The M16 fires the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge. The rifle entered United States Army service and was deployed for jungle warfare operations in South Vietnam in 1963, becoming the U.S. military's standard service rifle of the Vietnam War by 1969, replacing the M14 rifle in that role. The U.S. Army retained the M14 in CONUS, Europe, and South Korea until 1970. Since the Vietnam War, the M16 rifle family has been the primary service rifle of the U.S. armed forces.

The M16 has also been widely adopted by other militaries around the world. Total worldwide production of M16-style weapons since the design's inception has been approximately 8 million, making it the most-produced firearm of its caliber. As of 2010, the M16 is being phased out in the United States Army, and is being replaced by the M4 carbine, which is itself a shortened derivative of the M16A2. In US Army service, the M16 could be supplemented by the Individual Carbine beginning in 2014 if procurement of a new weapon is attained, if funds allow. All other US services would stay with current M16s and M4 series weapons.

The M16 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle, with a rotating bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation. The rifle is made of steel, 7075 aluminum alloy, composite plastics and polymer materials.

Android Now Makes Up 43 Percent Of US Smartphone Market

According to research firm Neilsen, Google’s Android OS now accounts for 43 percent of the US smartphone market for quarter three of 2011, and increase from the 39 percent share in the second quarter.

Apple’s iOS device are apparently in second place with a 28 percent share, around what it was in the previous quarter, whilst RIM’s BlackBerry has dropped down from 20 percent in quarter 2 to 18 percent in quarter three.

The report also says that Apple is still the top smartphone vendor in the US over all, in terms of total devices sold to date that run Apple’s iOS, although this may change in the future as we heard the other day thatHTC sold more smartphone than apple  for the same period.

3D Scanning with HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275’s Camera Scanner on a Stick

COMPLETE COVERAGE

HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275

This just into PCWorld/Macworld Labs: the new HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275, which is a color lasermulti-function printer with what I call a scanner-on-a-stick. It’s a camera on an elevated arm that takes six different shots of a three-dimensional item (apple, soda can, whatever) and creates a 3D-like image, either as a copy or as an electronic image file.

It looks like a small color laser printer with a white tray on top. The scanner-on-a-stick can nest flat on top of the platen or raise up on a hinge for use.

We tried 3D scanning with an accommodating pear to give you a quick peek.

Just your average pear.

Here’s the HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 with the pear placed on the platen.

If I were a betting geek, I'd guess the one on the left is legit.

We made a 3D copy of the pear, and here’s the pear and the copy. Can you tell the difference?

Stay tuned for a more detailed first look at this item, as well as our full review.

7 Software Makers to Bring Integrated, Cheaper Add-ons to Google Apps

Seven ISVs have formed a consortium to integrate their Google Appsadd-on products and offer discounted bundles, outside of Google's control.

They call themselves the Cloud Alliance for Google Apps, and their goal is to set their wares above the Google Apps Marketplace ruckus and sell via their own website. Google now claims some 4 million Google Apps business customers and an app store of add-ons that reached 300 choices in March.

COMPETITION: Microsoft Office 365 vs. Google Apps for Business

The inaugural members of the Cloud Alliance are:

• Cloud Sherpas, which makes the administration and policy management SherpaTools application.

• Expensify, which makes expense reports "that don't suck," as it describes its tool.

• Insightly, which makes a customer management app.

• Okta, which offers an identity and access management service.

• RunMyProcess, which offers a platform as a service (PaaS) that allows users to design and run business processes integrated with Google Apps.

• SmartSheet, which makes online project management and collaboration tools.

• Spanning, which makes the Spanning Backup tool for continuous backup and restore of Google Apps data.

Alliance members will not only bundle their apps together to offer discounts, but will be technically integrating them so that features of one can be accessed by others. The details of how that integration will be accomplished have yet to be worked out, says David Politis, vice president at Cloud Sherpas and chairman of the Cloud Alliance.

BACKGROUND: SherpaTools brings Google Apps enterprise-level management

However, the plan is to offer these integrated apps through the Cloud Alliance website, which is independent from Google and its Google Apps Marketplace. "We hope to see bundles launching with different members within the Alliance, and the plan is to offer those bundles exclusively to customers who register through the Alliance website. It will be more cost-effective to purchase one of these bundles than to buy from each individually," Politis says.

The Alliance expects to add new members to its consortium once it works out the details of how it will make its apps work together, what customers want and how much they are willing to pay. Politis doesn't expect the Alliance to be open to new members until February 2012.

Google, while informed of the plan, is not involved. "The Alliance was formed to complement the Google Apps ecosystem and to primarily serve the Google Apps admin and the end-user community. We had spoken to Google about the Alliance initiative prior to launch, but they were not directly involved in the creation or oversight. To maintain that focus on the admin and end user, all Cloud Alliance activities will be executed independently of Google," says Politis.
