BlackBerry Messenger 6.0 screenshots leak

bbm 6
A leaked early version of RIM's upcoming BlackBerry Messenger 6 has been making the rounds since late February, but images of the new app are just now beginning to appear. Over at CrackBerry, the crew has shared a handful of images of BBM 6 in action. Unfortunately, you won't get a glimpse at a chat or file transfer -- only the profile screens (after the break) and what you see above. All that's really revealed so far is the option to set custom contact and chat colors and BlackBerry OS 6.1-style icons.

CrackBerry also warns against installing the leaked BBM 6 app. There's no guarantee this app hasn't been tampered with, and BlackBerry devices are becoming a more common target for cybercriminals.

The Miracle Cure That's Hiding in Plain Sight [Medicine]

You've maybe never heard of Bacillus Calmette–Guérin—it sounds kinda French after all, so why would you? But scratch a little deeper and you'll find that BCG, as it's commonly known, is one of the most overlooked wonder-drugs of our time. More »

Razer Deathstalker gaming keyboard announced, packs Switchblade UI LCD panels (hands-on)

Razer launches new gaming keyboard, packs Switchblade UI LCD panels

It's pretty obvious from Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan's one-man presentation at Gamescom that he's buzzing about his new gaming keyboard. Ready to accompany the accessory maker's Ouroboros gaming mouse (hands-on impressions coming very soon), the Deathstalker will arrive in Ultimate and Standard versions. They both plump for chiclet-style keys and the pricier (and larger) Ultimate felt both light and slim. The standard issue packs three backlit color options, while the bigger board adds in Razer's light-up Switchblade UI, seen on its first gaming laptop. The first part of this is ten LCD keys that can be customized to gaming buttons or more typical PC use. They're still contextual, meaning if you launch the calculator from one of the keys, they will then transform into more appropriate calculator functions. Beneath that, a touchpanel LCD can act as a trackpad and accepts several gesture motions. It can also display your Twitter feed, game information and plenty more. The keyboard will also feature Synapse 2, Razer's new cloud-based settings service. The CEO explained that a player's custom layout and profile for the 'board could be stored online and then accessed from any computer it's plugged into, ready for your next (online) fight. Get our first impressions after our gallery and the break.

Windows 8 Explorer to feature Ribbon UI, SkyDrive and Mesh integration?

windows 8 explorer ribbon
Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott have posted a second look at some of the early changes which have surface in Windows 8 milestone 3. First there was the restyled Welcome Screen, and now it appears that Microsoft is toying with bringing the Ribbon UI to Explorer.

The Ribbon, like in Microsoft Word and Excel, is context-aware, adding tabs for specific tasks which apply to the folder you're viewing -- such as library or picture management. You can also make out two new buttons in the status bar, which allow you to change the current folder's view style.

It's clear from all the placeholder images and repeated elements that this is very much a work in progress, but featuring the Ribbon more prominently in Windows 8 would certainly be a logical progression for Microsoft. It's slowly become more ubiquitous, moving beyond Office and into Wordpad, Paint, and several of the Windows Live Essentials applications.

There's more to the screenshots than the Ribbon UI, however. Our friend Long Zheng has noted two interesting elements in the images: Web sharing and sync (image after the break). That would likely mean users will be able to quickly upload files to SkyDrive and synchronize using Live Mesh right from Explorer in Windows 8. That's not a total surprise considering many of the earliest leaked images of Windows 8 showed Windows Live integration on the desktop.

Lenovo Windows 8 Thinkpad Tablet 2 Sneak Peek Video


Following up on our news item of the leaked specs of the new Lenovo Windows 8 Thinkpad Tablet 2, here’s a Lenovo Sneak Peek. Not a lot of new information in the video however it’s a good visual overview. One thing to note is you won’t be able to use the mini-HDMI when the unit’s docked in the keyboard. :(

webOS team becomes Gram, isn't heavy on mission statements

webOS team becomes Gram, isn't heavy on mission statements

HP's webOS team has been keeping busy with its open source project, but it's time for a new challenge in the form of Gram: a fresh HP-funded offshoot focused on "software, user experience, the cloud, engineering, and partnering." We're not quite sure where that list could lead, but webOS, Enyo and cloud services are all expected to play a role in future endeavors. Judging from the fancy flyer after the break, a lot of energy is going into brand-building right now, along with a dose of secrecy, but hopefully some more concrete details will happen along soon.

Expand Your Budget to Afford Nice Things, Like the Nexus 7

When you’re a gadget lover, it seems every day presents you with the next got-to-have-it item.  There are so many categories of gear – bags, smart phones, computers, media players, and tablets – that you can’t afford to try them all.  For example, we just had to buy a new laptop for our daughter to use for the new school year, so I don’t have much money left in the new gear budget.

I was interested in trying out one of the new 7″ tablets, like Google’s Nexus 7 tablet, perhaps.  I think a 7″ tablet would be great to throw into my purse to take with me everywhere.  The Nexus has everything I’d need to keep myself entertained:  high-resolution 7″ 1280X800 screen that will make ebooks, magazines, and movies sharp, clear, and easy on my eyes; a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 1GB of memory to make everything lightning fast; 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth to keep me connected; Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) for access to all the latest features; and a 4325mAh battery for 9 hours of HD video playback or 10 hours of reading or surfing.  But even the $199 for an 8GB Nexus 7 isn’t in my new toy budget right now.

There are ways to expand your tech budget so you can buy more of the things you’d like, such as buying used or refurbished gear, if you can wait until someone tires of it and wants to unload it.  You can also try an auction site like HappyBidDay, where you purchase bids and use them to earn the right to buy tablet computers, TVs, vacuum cleaners, MP3 players, gift cards, and a variety of other products for amazingly low prices.  Go check them out to see what they have to offer and decide what your next new toy will be.

Potential Samsung Galaxy Note 2 bezel gets snapped, measured at 5.5 inches

Image

Here's an image purporting to be of the Galaxy Note 2's bezel, and if it's a fake, it's a very good one. Taken by a (sharper-than-usual) blurrycam snapper wearing factory-style dust booties, the hardware suggests a chunky, squared-off design for the second-generation phablet that rejects the Galaxy S III's more curvaceous body. The ruler draped from corner-to-corner jibes with earlier rumors that it would have a slightly expanded 5.5-inch canvas for your S-Pen fun. We just have one question: does that photo make it look curved along the horizontal axis, or is the loose component just bendy?
