So successful has this been that whole product categories have had the life choked out of their twitching bodies by the phone. The following list is an obituary to five of them, plus a look at the cellphone’s next victim.

An article published in The New York Times said the software could be available at iTunes online store shortly.

Google will be stepping into an arena with rivals Microsoft and Yahoo, which already let people using “smart” phones scour the Web with spoken queries.

The Internet powerhouse already offers a toll-free GOOG411 telephone service in the United States that people can call and speak to a computer system that fetches contact information they seek.

This is an online store (accessible from the iPhone as well as through iTunes on a computer) from which users can download applications for their iPhones.

These applications vary from RSS readers to instant messengers to games. What’s more, a number of them are absolutly free to download.

Here’s a look at six applications that are definitely worth a download if you possess an iPhone.

Recently they brought to light another prototype called Microsoft SecondLight that detects where the surface is being touched on a screen and allows an image to be projected on to the material held just above.

The 3 dimensional models seen in the images were created by A4 paper and cost a dollar or less in materials. As a design is decided on, the Matrix Printer cuts paper being fed into required size and uses glue to combine additional pieces, thus creating beautiful an amazing 3D designs.

Can you even imagine forking out nearly 20,000 dollars for a computer with 64K RAM? I can’t imagine what the people during that era of computer buying must have gone through. Jesus Christ! The price tags on these computers that you are about to see were beyond outrageous. In the 80s computers that weighed 55 pounds were called portable computers and now we whine if they are over 5 pounds. We sure as hell are spoiled cause personally I wouldn’t fork out more than 1000 dollars for a nice rig. Check out these images, although they were the roots for modern day computers, they were ugly as hell and the price no matter what anybody says didn’t justify whatsoever.

Presenting the ugliest computers from the past that came with outrageous price tags. Enjoy!

Perhaps, you want to fix your laptop, but you don’t know what you’re looking for – the USB endoscope gadget can help. It sounds weird that you would use an endoscope to repair anything but your intestines, but the concept is similar if you consider the PC or a similar machine to be anthropomorphic.

The new phones will include the Nokia 1202, a follow-up to Nokia’s top-selling model 1200, which will sell for around 25 euros ($32.2) and two models with e-mail support priced at 40 euros.

Emerging markets are a stronghold for the world’s top cellphone maker, but it has lately seen increasing competition from vendors such as China’s ZTE and Samsung Electronics.

Shares in Nokia rose on the news and were 0.87 percent firmer at 12.69 euros by 0906 GMT.

Handset makers are looking increasingly for opportunities to tap booming demand from emerging markets as slowing economies have started to hurt sales in developed markets.

The deal involved Google providing some of the advertising around Yahoo’s search results and would have been worth $800m (£494m) a year to Yahoo.

It was originally announced in June but has faced anti-trust objections.

Yahoo said in a statement it was disappointed that Google had decided not to fight for the deal in court.

Below are just the building lego creations, there are many more on the original link.

The report by Demos said encouraging employees to use networking technologies to build relationships and closer links with colleagues and customers could help businesses rather than damage them.

Author Peter Bradwell said that while companies were using specific systems to share information, online social networking sites could also play a role, helping with productivity, innovation and democratic working.

BIG DOG: The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth
BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog’s legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.

According to reports, the low-end updated MacBook will sell in India at a price of Rs 79,700. And, the non-revamped MacBook model with Coe2Duo 2.1Ghz, 1GB RAM, 120GB drive and 144MB Intel Video will sell for Rs 54500.

The company also announced launching another laptop designed by famous designer Vivienne Tam, to be priced between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 in 4-6 weeks.

“The company is on fast track to roll out a few own outlets and sell its devices through other mobile stores. This is in addition to the operators with whom it has tied up in India,” sources said.

When I logged into my iGoogle account today, I noticed some cool changes. Google seemed to have played around with several of the applications. So if you use one of those applications on your iGoogle page, then you must have noticed those changes as well. I check Google’s official blog and found a recent post called: What’s new with iGoogle? The main change is that Google has enabled canvas view for several applications. You can now view the applications in the same window instead of a different window (i.e. you had to open a new window to go to your GMail account).

Note that focus on “proof of concept”; the OET doesn’t argue that white space prototypes work flawlessly yet, and the report makes quite clear that they do not. In fact, they don’t do lots of things, including “communicate with other devices.” But what they do show is that spectrum sensing of TV signals can work with great accuracy, even if transmission currently causes problems.

In optics to always compete with the iPhone, and while waiting for the official exit in several months in France, here a complete emulator of the Google Phone which simulates the interface and the use of the Android system.
