    Google: Android Market now serving 30,000 apps

    Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
    At the most recent Mobile World Congress, Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed that the company's partners are now selling over 60,000 Android handsets on a daily basis. With that kind of growth rate, it's no wonder that the size of the Android Market is quickly increasing in its slipstream. While Google doesn't publicly show how many applications there are in Android Market, a Google representative this morning informed me that the application store now serves approximately 30,000 free and paid apps in total.

    Opera Mini 5 beta gets a non-Java version for Windows Mobile phones

    Posted on March 4, 2010 | No Comments
    Opera Software has been busy lately, releasing fresh finalized and beta products on a near-daily basis. This morning, the company announced that it has released a native version of Opera Mini 5 beta for handsets running Windows Mobile 5 and 6. Interestingly, the new WinMo version of Opera Mini does not require Java. That basically means any Windows Mobile phone can accommodate the app. Despite not requiring Java, Opera Mini 5 beta for Windows Mobile includes the same feature set as the Java-based version.

    Warning: The little animals curse a little. This cute little video is literally what we go through on a daily basis with PR people. It basically recounts our daily conversations with strangers that go something like this: PR Person: "We have big news! But you guys don't sign embargoes." Me: "Fine, we'll sign an embargo." PR Person: "Sign this in duplicate and fax a copy to Nepal then Fedex a copy to our CEO." Me: "Done. What is it." PR Person: "It's a new sandwich. With bacon!"

    D-Link now has thingamajigs that will remotely monitor your house for security breaches. Amazing.

    Posted on January 5, 2010 | No Comments
    And now D-Link is in the home security business. The company, of whose router I bought several months ago and fight to use on a daily basis (seriously, the Internet just cuts out at times... what are you gonna do?), has just announced a series of home monitoring devices, including the Home Monitoring Starter Kit ($149). One device plugs into your router, and then you place a series of wireless motion sensors around the house in strategic areas (doors, windows, etc.). The sensors then send alert the device, which can then text message you, send you an e-mail, etc. something like, “Hey, the kids are home.”

    Oh, Android - how good you have been for Motorola. It was only months ago that they were teetering on the edge of obscurity; one 350-person Android task force later, they've got the most popular Android handset in the lands and are being name dropped on a nearly daily basis around the rumor mill. A Chinese leakster managed to get his mitts on this (confusingly obscured) shot of an unreleased Motorola handset, and was nice enough to share it with the world.

    See through PermaFLOW drain is a boon to the hirsute

    Listen, people, what you pour down your drain is your own business. But when you come to my house and put down like fifteen pounds of hair and a pipe cleaner (you know who you are) then you're on my S-list. Thankfully, there's this thing. The trick is that this thing has a turnable wiper that pushes goop out of the pipe and lets you grab wedding rings, bullet shells, and other precious items by pushing them out of the trap and up into the main pipe where you can grab them with a hook or your long, sticky proboscis.
