BlackBerry Storm 2 Expected in September

image

Research In Motion (RIM) will debut an upgraded BlackBerry Storm in September, SlashGear is reporting. According to "a source very close to the issue," the Storm 2 will support Wi-Fi-a significant omission in the first-generation Storm, which debuted last fall on Verizon Wireless.

The report offers few Storm 2 details, but it's likely that RIM will upgrade the Storm's much-maligned SurePress click screen, which many reviewers reported was sluggish and awkward to use. Since the Storm is RIM's answer to the iPhone, a mediocre interface would likely be the first issue to address.

Recent rumors say the Storm 2 will also include a 5-megapixel camera, an upgraded display, and a screen keyboard that's easier to type on. A slide-out keyboard? Probably not. If Blackberry fans want a physical keyboard, they already have plenty of worthy options, including the Curve and the Pearl.

10 iPhone Apps

image Ready to eat? Check out our favorite foodie apps and download them until you're full.

image

LocalEats (99 cents)
Based on the Where the Locals Eat series of books, the concept of LocalEats is simple: The app lists what its publishers deem to be the best 100 restaurants in each of the 50 largest U.S. cities. The interface is simple too; you can view the best places either near your current location or near an address you input, or you can view the top 100 lists alphabetically by city. An individual entry includes an address and phone number, along with price and category information. Something you won't find: a Cheesecake Factory or an Outback Steakhouse. All the picks are small regional chains or standalone restaurants.

image

Urbanspoon ($2.99)
Putting a gimmicky spin on restaurant recommendations, Urbanspoon turns your iPhone into a slot machine to help you find a place to eat. There's a reel for the neighborhood, one for cuisine type, and one for price. Lock the reels to home in on a specific 'hood, food, or price range, and then shake your phone and Urbanspoon will spit out a restaurant name. Want to know more? Click for professional and user reviews and a map so you can find your way. If the result isn't to your liking, spin again for another option, and repeat as necessary. You can also browse or search, or find out what's nearby.

image

Yelp (free)
Craving Cajun in Cleveland? Yelp uses your handset's GPS capability to deliver handy information and candid user reviews for nearby restaurants, bars, and other businesses, so you know what to expect before you sit down to chow down. A recent update to the app lets you compose 140-character Twitter-style reviews, which are much easier than full reviews to write—and read—from your iPhone.

image

VegOut Vegetarian Restaurant Guide ($2.99)
There's a sweet satisfaction that comes from scoring a great food find in an unfamiliar place—and when you're a vegetarian, it's like winning the lottery. VegOut make those rare gems easier to uncover by focusing on restaurant choices to sate non-meat eaters. The app will use your iPhone's built-in GPS to find nearby places, or if you're planning a trip you can enter an address or ZIP code and perform a search before you go. You'll find restaurants all over the world, but results can be spotty. (We found screens upon screens of choices within 10 miles of our New York City office, but only a handful in all of Budapest, Hungary, for example.) Results can be filtered to include vegan-only, vegetarian, or vegetarian-friendly choices. Restaurants are star-rated by users, but you need to go to a separate Web site to read the reviews.

image

OpenTable (free)
Need a table at an Italian restaurant for a party of 12—tonight? OpenTable can help. This handy app lets you search eateries for available reservations. Enter the date and time you want to meet and eat, along with your preferred cuisine, price range, and the number of people, and OpenTable will spit out a list of places nearby—or near an address you specify—that are willing to accommodate. You can secure the reservation right from the app, get directions, view menus, and send e-mails to friends with the pertinent details. If you become a member at OpenTable's Web site, you can earn points toward free meals for each reservation you make.

image

Tipulator (99 cents)
Eating out is a blast—that is, until the bill comes. Find out who owes what with Tipulator. Enter the check total and this cute app, complete with a starlight mint, will automatically compute a 15 percent tip and split it among as many people as you specify. You can adjust the tip amount between zero and 50 percent, or set the calculator to round up, down, or even give you a total that's a palindrome, if that makes you feel better about coughing up the cash for your meal.

image

160,000 Recipes—BigOven (free)
Cookbooks are so last-century; all you need is some key ingredients and your iPhone to make a killer meal. BigOven's app includes all sorts of recipes, and each includes a color photo showing you what the finished product should look like. You can search for a specific recipe, or by a single ingredient, or simply browse for inspiration. Still can't find something good to cook? Shake your phone, and you'll get a random recipe. The app's design lacks polish, but it does let you save your favorites, and mark recipes that you want to try in the future. And a built-in dictionary defines those tricky food terms.

image

Pocket Cocktails Drinks & Wine (99 cents)
This elegantly designed app shows you big color photos of hundreds of pretty cocktails that will make your mouth water. You can find drinks by category (martinis, classics, or shooters, to name a few), or browse an alphabetical list. Click on your chosen libation for a list of ingredients and a detailed step-by-step recipe. There's also a pocket sommelier: Tell it what's on the menu and it'll suggest wines that pair well with what you're eating.

image

Fast Food Calorie Counter ($2.99)
If you don't subscribe to the "ignorance is bliss" philosophy of eating, the Fast Food Calorie Counter can help you make better choices and sidestep the diet-destroying land mines that come with eating on the go. With nutritional info for 6,000 menu items from 55 top fast food restaurants, this app is sure to make you think twice about running for the border for Taco Bell's Fiesta Taco Salad, with its 840 calories and 45 grams of fat.

image

Calorie Tracker by Livestrong.com ($2.99)
Famous for those ubiquitous yellow rubber bracelets, Livestrong focuses on getting and keeping you healthy, and to that end, the Calorie Tracker does much more than its name implies.

Record your daily exercise along with how many calories you've burned, based on your body weight. Monitor your weight, and view it over a period of time so you can see how you're progressing. You can also continually sync the data in the app with the Web site and access it there.

Shanghai Auto Show 09 : Surprises

China is the fastest-growing automotive market in the world. In fact, China may overtake the United States this year as the largest car market on the planet. It’s no surprise then that nearly every automaker has a presence at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, which runs through April 28. While many automakers have been on hand to show their wares to a car-hungry audience, they also made some significant announcements about new products and updated models during the press preview prior to the show’s public days.


image

2010 Porsche Panamera

The biggest news in Shanghai was the world debut of the 2010 Panamera, Porsche’s first-ever 4-door sedan — and a hatchback to boot. Set to hit the U.S. in October, the Panamera will offer three models, two engines, one transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive. The Panamera 4 and 4S will come with a 400-horsepower 4.8-liter V8. Thrust in the Panamera Turbo will come from a twin-turbocharged version of the V8, making 500 horsepower and launching the car to 60 mph in just four seconds. All models will use Porsche’s new double-clutch automated manual transmission. Prices will range from $89,000 for the Panamera 4 to $132,600 for the Turbo.

2010 BMW 760Li

BMW revamped the 7-Series for the 2009 model year, dropping the V12-powered 760Li model in the process. At Shanghai, BMW showed the 2010 760Li, with an “all-new” and much more powerful V12 engine. While the last V12 was naturally aspirated and produced 438 horsepower, the new 6.0-liter 12-banger features twin turbochargers and puts out a whopping 544 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque — while also getting better fuel economy. Also new for the 760Li is an 8-speed automatic transmission, a first for BMW. The on-sale date and prices weren’t released, but expect the 760Li to approach $130,000.

image

2010 BMW X5 M

BMW unveiled the 2010 X6 M at the New York Auto Show just a few weeks ago. The X5 M was there, too, but BMW decided to highlight it in Shanghai. Like its X6 M sibling, the X5 M will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine that puts out 555 horsepower. At BMW, M stands for performance as well as power, so the X5 M will come with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system and a stiffer suspension incorporating BMW’s Adaptive Drive electronically controlled shock absorbers. Inside, the X5 M gets sporty M seats and an M steering wheel. Exterior cues include a unique grille and 20-inch wheels.

image

2010 Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 is just three years old, but it’s already getting a midcycle update that includes revised styling, interior upgrades and better fuel economy for its available diesel engine. The most notable changes are to the exterior, where there is a larger single-frame grille and U-shaped bands of LED running lights in the headlights. The bumpers are also new, with contrasting lower sections. Inside, the Q7 has a reworked instrument cluster, as well as interior lights in the door linings and a light inlay on the passenger side. Engine choices are unchanged, but Audi’s clean diesel 3.0-liter V6 gets slightly better fuel economy at 26.43 mpg

image

2010 Mercedes-Benz S 400 Hybrid

Mercedes-Benz gave the S-Class a face-lift as well as made it more environmentally-conscious for Shanghai. The 2010 S 400 Hybrid is the world’s first production hybrid with a lithium-ion battery and Mercedes’ first-ever hybrid vehicle. Its powertrain features a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine, a magneto-electric motor and a 7-speed automatic transmission. Combined output is 299 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque, and fuel economy should be about 29 mpg. New features for the S-Class include Speed Limit Assist, Attention Assist drowsiness detection and Adaptive Main Beam Assist, which adjusts the headlights for the best illumination without blinding occupants in oncoming vehicles. The 2010 S 400 is due in August. Prices have yet to be announced.

image

2010 Mercedes-Benz S 65

Mercedes-Benz says its top-of-the-line performance model is more appealing than ever, thanks to some effective fine-tuning. The S 65’s 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine is unchanged at 612 horsepower, but fuel economy is improved by one to three percent. Zero to 60 mph takes only 4.4 seconds. On the outside, the S 65’s grille is reshaped and has chrome louvers, the lower fascia has LED driving lights, the center section of the reshaped rear diffuser is painted body color, and new taillights containing 52 LEDs. Like other members of the S-Class, the S 65’s new COMAND control system has a split-screen feature that allows the driver and passenger to view different information.

Buick Business Concept

While GM isn’t pursuing the minivan market in the U.S., it may in China, as evidenced by the Buick Business Concept. Long and tall, the Business has sliding side doors that meet up with the front doors, with no pillar in between. Developed in China in conjunction with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp., GM’s Chinese partner, the Business has three rows of seats for 6-passenger capacity. The second-row seats swivel up to 225 degrees to face a power center console. GM says the Business is designed to accommodate the next generation of GM’s hybrid powertrain, which will include a lithium-ion battery. We doubt the Business will ever come to the U.S. market.

2010 Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo

Buick sells more vehicles in China than it does in the U.S. That’s why the brand isn’t on the chopping block as General Motors looks to restructure in the face of the U.S. automaker bailout. That’s also why the Regal is still sold in China, but not here at home. In late 2008, Buick introduced a new Regal based on a global midsize vehicle architecture. In Shanghai, Buick showed a new model with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. This direct-injected 4-cylinder generates 220 horsepower and can accelerate to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. GM also offers the Regal with 2.0- and 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engines, and all are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Google Goats to clear brush

Google, a company revered for its ability to think outside the box, has come up with a novel way to clear its land of brush.

Goats.

They've hired goats to clean their brush. No, they aren't "kidding". image

In California, the high rate of brush fires makes it a legal requirement that landowners remove excess brush from their land. The conventional way to do this is, of course, to use lawnmowers and other CO2 belching machinery.

Google has instead decided to employ 200 goats from a unique company called California Grazing to do what they do best: eat brush. Dan Hoffman, Director Real Estate and Workplace Services, posted on Google's blog:

A herder brings about 200 goats and they spend roughly a week with us at Google, eating the grass and fertilizing at the same time. The goats are herded with the help of Jen, a border collie. It costs us about the same as mowing, and goats are a lot cuter to watch than lawn mowers.

It wasn't immediately clear if the goats have access to Google's famous employee perks nor what they were going to do with their 20 percent time.

This isn't entirely new to the Valley either, Yahoo has a goat-staff working for them too.

Layoff for NASA!

NASA is taking more steps in preparing for the retirement of the space shuttle. For hundreds of NASA employees, it means their jobs will be lost.

The jobs eliminated are not here at Johnson Space Center, but they're at other NASA facilities in Florida, Utah and Louisiana. They're mostly manufacturing jobs being phased out as the shuttle program begins to come to an end in 2010.

With the space shuttle's days numbered, those who build its giant external fuel tanks and solid rocket boosters are some of the first to be let go.

"We'll have to let those production people go and at some point they may come back on when we get into building the moon rocket, the Ares Five moon rocket in a few years," said Wayne Hale of NASA.

NASA administrators say 160 jobs were eliminated Friday and that about 900 will be cut within the next five months.

According to a study NASA compiled for congress several months ago, none of those reductions will occur at the Johnson Space Center yet. However, that same study concludes that JSC will see a change in the size of the workforce with a loss of jobs between fiscal year 2008 and 2013. Those job cuts are expected to be between 100 and 2,400 jobs.

'Wolverine' is latest slash hit, 'X-Men' prequel claws way to top of box office with $87M"

Man, Even though the previous leak of “Undone” version are still widely available anywhere around the internet, Tha X-Men Mania Fans are really in supportive of The Franchise..Me Myself even though already watched the leak source im still curious to the premier of the movies, hopefully the unfinished part were done with exceptional Ante..

image

The X-Men turned into $-men this weekend when Hugh Jackman's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" defied critics' pans and clawed its way to the top of the box office.

The prequel to the mutant superhero trilogy earned an estimated $87 million its opening weekend, studio estimates show. That puts it in the pack with the three previous "X-Men" movies in which Jackman stars as the wolverine.

"It's all systems go," said Chris Aronson, distribution executive for 20th Century Fox.

"Audiences have a huge appetite for Hugh and this character."

Overall revenues were virtually even with the same weekend a year ago, when "Iron Man" surprised Hollywood with a bigger-than-expected $98.6 million debut.

"It's a testament to the kind of year we're having and this recessionary moviegoing fueling big box office," said Hollywood.com box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian

Microsoft to Launch iPhone Killer 'Pink' in 2010

Microsoft and Verizon, the Journal says, plan to launch the phone and an app store early next year specifically as an iPhone competitor.

White House joins Facebook, MySpace, Twitter

The official White House Blog calls it "WhiteHouse 2.0." The administration is unveiling its membership in a trio of the social-networking leaders today: Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. How do the accounts look shortly after launch?

The Facebook page already has more than 38,000 fans, and the number appears to jump another thousand every few minutes at this hour. The MySpace page is a highly stylized version of designs typically seen on the service, with 5,300 friends and counting. "A quick glance at the profiles shows that they mostly just link to or copy entries on the existing WhiteHouse.gov blog, but they welcome comments and are quickly gathering thousands of fans," PaidContent.org says.

TechCrunch offers initial analysis of the MySpace page: "There are no ads on the page, but if you click through to photos page, then you do get some ads. The add beside this photo of the president running down a hallway with his daughter's puppy has an ad that says, 'Pimp My Profile.' Not very Presidential. On Facebook, there is an ad slot on the actual page, but I only saw a house ad for Facebook's gift shop with a penguin. ... The Facebook page basically has the same information, but presented as a stream. Which one do you like better?"

The @whitehouse Twitter feed so far has more than 10,000 followers and retweeted a swine-flu alert from the CDC. Information about the H1N1 virus is the most common theme across the White House's uses of the services today.

"Hopefully, these pages will follow the same pattern as the administration's other web efforts -- they start out underwhelming, but improve eventually

New Phishing Scam appear in Facebook!

image 

Wednesday night, when Amory Wooden, 27, received a Facebook message from a friend directing her to a new Web site, she clicked on it. Not only that, once fbstarter.com popped up in her browser, she typed in her Facebook user name and password.

She had no idea she'd been hoaxed until Thursday morning, when messages from Facebook friends started pouring in about how they all fell for it.

Sites Harvest E-Mail, Password Information

The new virus, fbstarter.com, directs users to a Web site that mirrors Facebook's log-in page. Thinking they're on a Facebook-related site, users enter their e-mail addresses and passwords. But once the renegade program has this information, it hacks into users' accounts and re-sends the link to all their friends, saying "Look at this!" and perpetuating the scam.
