Middle East countries: the BlackBerry is a national security threat

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:29:32 +0000

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has described RIM’s device as a threat posing “serious social, judicial and national security repercussions” due to the country’s inability to successfully eavesdrop on users, and the fact that transmitted data is stored offshore.

Amazon Kindle 3 May Be On Its Way

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:11:10 +0000

Amazon’s Kindle e-reader is listed as “temporarily out of stock” on the company’s website, in what could be a sign that a new Kindle model may be on its way. The latest shortage of the device lines up nicely with earlier rumors that Amazon plans to introduce a new Kindle model in August . An e-reader with a color screen is not likely, but the new Kindle could sport a better black-and-white display, updated hardware, improved user interface and new apps.

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:23:10 +0000

Samsung has put a Wi-Fi radio inside its latest digicam, the ST80. The camera is pedestrian in almost every regard, from its ho-hum zoom range (35-114mm equivalent), through its 3-inch screen with just 230,000 dots to the too-big 14.2-megapixel sensor

Panasonic Announces 3D Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:42:42 +0000

Panasonic is really into 3D. Not only will it sell you a big 3D television with which to watch the latest Hollywood head-spinners, it will soon sell you a lens which can be popped onto a G-series camera and shoot your own stereoscopic pics. The lens is actually two lenses in a single, compact housing.

Daisy-Chaining USB Cables Add Endless Connections

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:17:58 +0000

I’m always running out of USB ports. The problem is even worse because I use a MacBook, which has a mere two holes, and those are so close together that anything larger than standard plug will block off both of them. Sure, I could buy a hub, but what about the more convenient option of forcing every manufacturer in the world to make this great Tandem USB connector

Beliefs vs. Facts: Microsoft Cashback and How To Avoid Bad Decisions

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:00:02 +0000

I’m on a belief-vs- facts long-term rant that goes back decades. This has been covered in a number of stories lately both in reference to Microsoft and the iPhone and in reference to why we are easily led astray on political issues. One of the most common beliefs, which facts actually dispute, is that money is a good motivator. It isn’t, yet it is common to see incentive programs ranging from commissions to the failed Bing Cashback program created as behavior modification tools. Let’s talk about this at two levels: First we’ll talk about why the Cashback program failed, and then we’ll cover why this tendency, which is hardwired into all of us, is so dangerous.
