    Sprint BlackBerry Bold 9650 goes on sale a little early

    Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Comments
    It looks like Sprint couldn't wait to share its version of the BlackBerry Bold 9650 with the world -- it went on sale online today, a week before its scheduled May 23rd launch. You're looking at $199 on a two-year deal, but unless you're dying for a new 'berry we can't say we're finding this Tour-with-an-optical-pad even remotely as exciting as the EVO 4G, which is due on June 4. But it's still quite handsome, right? That's... something.

    [Thanks, Geo]

    To me, geo-tagging in photography hasn't really held much interest. Sure, it's helpful when you see someones work that you admire, but generally I've always felt that it was kind of silly. TeleNav is looking to change that, through the use of a device that will show you images to places in your area that have been tagged.

    Note: The topless Asian man in this slightly NSFW video that's dancing around with his Ne Geo collection is not Peter Ha. I asked him if it was any of his family members but he didn't find the joke funny. Ah well.

    In case you haven't had enough location-based news tonight, here's another very interesting bit. It looks like Apple has very quietly bought an online mapping company, Seth Weintraub of Computerworld reports tonight. Apple's purchase of Placebase actually took place this past July, and a founder of a partner company that was using Placebase maps tweeted about it. But it slid under most people's radars as that was the only news out there about it. But Weintraub dug up Placebase CEO Jaron Waldman's LinkedIn profile tonight, and sure enough, he is now part of the "Geo Team" at Apple.

    It would seem that the boys from Penny Arcade are in the process of moving their operation into a secret base, where they will continue to take over the world. As a result of that move, they are selling off their Neo-Geo machine to the highest bidder. And hey, the money goes to the Child's Play charity.

    apple-page_12vI took some photos yesterday afternoon, and didn't get around to trying to move them from the camera to my laptop until later in the evening. What should have been a simple process -- connect cable to camera, connect cable to laptop, import photos -- was stymied by my complete inability to find the cable I needed! It's not like I use a USB A-to-Mini-B cable every day. If only there were some way to wirelessly transfer photos from my camera into my computer. What's that, Eye-Fi? You say there is? Do tell!

    Is it possible that Eye-Fi could make its range of geo-tagging’, Wi-Fi sharin’ cards any more useful? We didn’t think so, but it turns out we were dead wrong. The company has today released the Eye-Fi Pro, a 4GB SD card with a couple of very handy new features. First, the cards finally support RAW files. [...]
