Even more features exposed in latest iPhone 2.2 beta

We have seen quite a few of the new features and tweaks coming in iPhone OS 2.2 so far. Between Google Street View and modifications to Safari and App Store, Apple has spread plenty of polish, but the company isn't quite done waxing off. New screenshots reveal that iPhone OS 2.2 will encourage users to get proactive about rating apps, and the software may even allow podcast downloading over the air.

Microsoft Employee Admits That Patent Disclosure Is A Myth

Defenders of the patent system quite frequently point out that one of the main benefits (some claim the only benefit) of the patent system is "disclosure." That is, because the patent system requires you to disclose your patent, the patent system is quite helpful in spreading ideas. This is a myth that's easily debunked on a few points. First, it only really makes sense to get patent protection if you know the idea will get disclosed or figured out anyway. In those cases, the disclosure via the patent system is meaningless, since the info would have gotten out anyway. Second, these days, thanks to "willful infringement" tripling the damages you pay, many corporations tell employees not to look at relevant patents, as it only opens up more liability.

Marlin SpyPen Claims "World's Smallest Video Recorder" Title

Spy-gadgets in general and covert video or audio recorders in particular have always exerted quite a high level of fascination with a lot of people, especially because just about any person out there (mostly men, obviously) wants to feel like James Bond at least once in their life. And given the consumers' non-stop interest in such products, it's very likely that the Marlin SpyPen will also draw quite a lot of attention, since it's touted by its manufacturers as being the world's smallest video recorder.

Flintoff given positive spin

He's got a little more skill certainly than I thought before I arrived and watched him close up. He's got quite a lot of skill for such a big, strong bloke, he's quite deft.

Second-Gen iPod Touch Faster Than iPhone 3G: Report

Both the iPod Touch 2G and iPhone 3G use the same CPU, but apparently the second generation iPod Touch is clocking its quite a bit faster, according to a report. While observing empirical evidence that the iPod Touch 2G was running games quite a bit faster than the iPhone 3G, Handheld Games Corp. noted that the CPU in the devices, an ARM 1176, is running at 532 Mhz in the Touch 2G, and 412 Mhz in the iPhone 3G.

RedHat & AMD Demo Live VM Migration Across CPU Vendors

An anonymous reader notes an Inquirer story reporting on something of a breakthrough in virtual machine management — a demonstration (not yet a product) of migrating a running virtual machine across CPUs from different vendors (video here). "RedHat and AMD have just done the so called impossible, and demonstrated VM live migration across CPU architectures. Not only that, they have demonstrated it across CPU vendors, potentially commoditizing server processors. This is quite a feat. Only a few months ago during VMworld, Intel and VMware claimed that this was impossible. Judging by an initial response, VMware is quite irked by this KVM accomplishment and they are pointing to stability concerns. This sound like scaremongering to me... All the interesting controversy aside, cross vendor migration is [obviously] a good thing for customers be

Nought quite the perfect end

Sourav Ganguly's duck in the second innings of the Nagpur Test against Australia drew comparisons with Sir Donald Bradman. Cricinfo zeroes in on XI big names who faltered in the last act.

Meiring ton not quite enough for Marist

The former representative golfer opened the batting for Marist and peeled off such a tidy century it put a shiver through United in their one-day game at Manawaroa Park.

Google exec crafts quite a story

In law school, Jeff Levick gravitated toward corporate dealmaking, and later joined Katten Muchin Zavis, a Chicago law firm, as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer.

Free iPhone? Not quite...

Ms Jane Tan* is accustomed to receiving packages in her mail, sent by her clients overseas. So when she received a package earlier this month, it did not seem like anything out of the ordinary.

BlackBerry Storm Review (Verdict: Not Quite a Perfect Storm)

It's hard to overstate how important the BlackBerry Storm is to RIM and Verizon. It's RIM's bold effort to fend off the iPhone and Verizon's best hope for a star handset that draws people in, or at least keeps them from bailing. The Storm's major innovation is what RIM calls SurePress—the entire touchscreen is fat, honkin' button—which has been paired with a redesigned, finger-friendly BlackBerry OS. We've already showed you a lot of what the fuss is all about, but now that we've spent some quality, uninterrupted time with the Storm, here's why we think it falls short of its promise.

Public support of nanotech seems quite shallow, Part I

During the next two days I'm going to present some selected results from a survey of public opinion on nanotechnology. Conducted by North Carolina State's Michael Cobb and others, the scientific survey of 556 participants is one of the best I've seen regarding nano, and provides sobering insights for present and future researchers in the field.

MySQL 5.1 Released, Not Quite Up To Par

Mad Merlin writes "It's no secret that MySQL 5.1 has been a long time in the making, with the first beta release being in Nov 2005, but MySQL 5.1.30 has finally been released as GA. MySQL users can expect new features such as table/index partitioning, row based replication, a new plugin architecture, an event scheduler and a host of performance improvements from 5.1." Monty also had a blog post outlining some of the challenges faced in 5.1, including crashing bugs and a beta quality to most new features.

RSS offered by Rapid keeping granulator quite in workplace

Rapid Granulator AB, the Sweden based specialist in granulation technology, has launched in FAKUMA, the German plastics trade fair held last month in Friedrichshafen, the latest Rapid Silencing System (RSS) that guaranteed not to make big noise when in operation. With increasingly stringent noise constraints being applied to the workplace by national and EU regulatory authorities, the RSS offers molders and OEMs an innovative noise reducing solution.

Brian Viner: 'Over here, haggling is not quite cricket; over there, it makes the world go round'

A feature a few days ago in another newspaper suggested that, in these recessionary times, we should all learn to haggle. The writer tried it on in John Lewis, Selfridges, WH Smith and even at a London Underground station, with distinctly limited success, although she did blag £10 off a bottle of Krug at a branch of Nicolas, and all credit to her for doing so. I get closer to offering a tenner extra to those Frenchmen behind the counter at Nicolas, in the face of their formidable Gallic-ness and obvious contempt for an Englishman who isn't sure what he wants, and might even be, in that dreaded English phrase, "just browsing".

EOps i24R3 Wireless Gesture-Control iPhone Speaker is Quite Beautiful, Actually

Just unveiled at Tokyo Designer's Week, EOps i24R3 is probably the best-looking speaker system for the iPod/iPhone I think I've seen. Plus it's jammed-full of wirelessness, so the iPod-dock, woofer-equipped base station is paired with two or more (up to eight) remote stereo speakers. And in the true spirit of iPhoneness it's gesture controlled— touch-free gestures too: you just wiggle your hand in front of the base station and control volume and equalizer functions.
