Harmison finds his line, Morkel loses his way

Steve Harmison was, in the words of his captain, "buzzing" when he learnt he'd be playing in his first Test since that abject performance at Hamilton in March. And the first over of his latest incarnation as an international cricketer fully backed up that assertion. His very first ball nearly did what 246 had failed to do at Edgbaston and remove Graeme Smith, but Alastair Cook in the gully couldn't cling onto a loose cut. Unperturbed, Harmison responded by squelching Smith's nether-regions with a wince-inducing nipbacker, and then for his grand finale, burst a rising ball through Tim Ambrose's gloves and straight into his mouth. As his team-mate spat blood for the cause, Harmison stalked down to fine leg with a renewed eagerness. Brisbane this was not.

Ryan Block's last day as Engadget editor-in-chief ends with 1 year update on the state of Palm

Ryan Block is ending his role as editor-in-chief at Engadget to pursue a new gadget site opportunity with long-time buddy Peter Rojas and I wish them both the best of luck and look forward to seeing what they come up with. As a fitting end to his role at Engadget, Ryan posted an update to his open letter to Palm that he posted last year. His 2007 letter gave lots of unsolicited advice to Palm and CEO Ed Colligan even responded to the letter. The sad news is that one year later there is very little that shows Palm has changed much and it is tough to keep pulling for the company and hoping they come out of it.Looking through Ryan’s latest article, I have to agree with his comments on the new Treo Pro and you will see this in my review next week.
