BlackBerry Storm goes into TA (technical acceptance) at Verizon, delayed 3-4 weeks (4)

Boy Genius Report (118) permalink
Here’s our latest info on the BlackBerry Storm and the fate of the device on Verizon’s network: it just went into technical acceptance at Verizon which usually takes around 3-4 weeks, and the device has been delayed internally by around 3-4 weeks while they work out the kinks (read: buggy and unresponsive) and polish it up. That puts us around a mid-November launch on Verizon. We’ve double confirmed that information, so it should be pretty ...Contribute comment -
Frankenstein's Browser The Obvious Ancestry of Google Chrome (24)

Gizmodo (3742) permalink
We've posted our first impressions of Google Chrome, and after extended use most of them have held up. Chrome is fast, feature-rich and stable, not to mention highly usable. But Google's in-house innovations (the multi-threaded engine, Javascript handling and task manager, mainly) make up a tiny portion of the user experience. The rest of the interface features, usage mechanics and touted features have clear and very public parentage—in one of Chrome's four largest competitors. Now, ...Shared by Azeem (36) Brandon (20) BritCrit (32) Cai Chen (995) Compulsivo (46) David (64) DeadRinga (36) Digg Boss (641) digits12 (716) dobata (366) Dragos Pirvu (638) Glacial (14) Henry Webb (20) Humberto Gonzalez (43) Jimmy (27) Kevin (17) Kristen (218) Leena (1060) Leobardo (37) Mich D (169) Miguel Lopez (70) Oliver (29) rOckY (154) webtime (476)Contribute comment -

The Anti-Invisibility Cloak Discovered, NOOOOOOOOOOO! [Invisibility] (4)
onWhy God, why? Just as Man was on the cusp of a real-life invisibility cloak—otherwise known as the gateway to the secrets of international government and the girl's locker room—some stupid-head Chinese scientists have already learned to thwart it. The theoretical "anti-cloak" would be a piece of material with identical optical bending properties to the original cloak. When the anti-cloak comes into contact with the invisibility cloak, it would bend light in such a way ...Contribute comment

Brian Rakowski walks to the whiteboard in a small conference room in Building 41 on Google's Mountain View campus. A lanky, gregarious man in his twenties, Rakowski is the product manager of a top-secret project that's been under way for more than two years. The weekly Monday meeting of managers — or "leads," as Google puts it in its nonhierarchical way — will be one of the last before the upcoming launch. Rakowski writes 12 ...Shared by ~C4Chaos (84) acacio (22) adam (972) Adam Maldonado (155) Alex G.
