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.

Why Spiderman's Strong-as-Steel Webs Are Mathematically Possible [Video]

When you're watching the Spiderman movies, you hardly ever stop to think about whether Peter Parker could actually physically swing from buildings on threads of silk. C'mon! Suspend your disbelief! It's a superhero movie! Jeez. Except as this mathematics professor points out, it's freaking possible. More »

Deep Inside a Facebook Hackathon, Where the Future of Social Media Begins

Queen’s “Under Pressure” blasts from the speakers in Facebook’s Building 18 Cafe. A DJ spins on one side of the room, and on the other end there are two kegs of beer next to a rack of granola bars, chips, and snacks. It’s a set-up that would make total sense for a dance party, were it not for the clusters of engineers ripping up their laptops, fingers tapping away at code.

This is no casual Silicon Valley feel-good party. This is the scene at Facebook’s 32nd hackathon, where company engineers and even interns are hoping to create the next big product features for the world’s most popular social network.

Wired received an exclusive, inside look at the first few hours of Facebook’s first hackathon since the company went public in May. But what makes this hackathon especially unique is its extended, multi-day length. Dubbed Camp Hackathon, the event takes place across three days and two nights, which means employees literally set up camp (yes, with tents) at the Menlo Park campus. ‪

‬”Where else can you make something overnight with free Red Bull? And make something that ships to 900 million people?” — Matthew Dierker, Facebook intern‪

‬This event is Facebook’s 4th annual Camp Hackathon, a summer hack for the company’s full-time employees and interns to all get together and innovate with abandon. The only rules: You can’t work on anything that’s part of your day-to-day job, and if it’s your first hackathon, you must hack. Sticking to traditional hackathon culture, there’s a whole lot of coding and little to no sleep.

“It’s like a sleepover but for nerds,” Amy Zhou, Facebook privacy intern and Princeton senior, tells Wired. “Except without the sleep.”

So how much gets accomplished in a three-day sleepover for nerds? At Facebook, a whole lot. And accomplishments aren’t limited to senior-level engineers. One of Zhou’s fellow interns, Matthew Dierker, is working on a feature that’s already been vetted by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Dierker, a sophomore at the University of Illinois, is on a Platform Growth team that’s working on making Facebook games better and more engaging for users. While he couldn’t talk about the details of his project (and, in fact, all employees were coached not to reveal any secrets), Dierker said that he started it at an intern-organized hackathon. His project is getting great reception from people at Facebook, he said, and that it will “hopefully” launch soon.

“Where else can you make something overnight with free Red Bull? And make something that ships to 900 million people? Nowhere else,” he said. “That’s just amazing to be able to do.”

Much of the high spirits and energy levels of Camp Hackathon can be attributed to the Wednesday night kickoff, a bit of corporate street theater by Facebook employees Pedram Keyani, Blaise DiPersia, Roddy Lindsay and Bubba Murarka. The foursome march into Building 18, singing a Camp Hackathon song. DiPersia mans a megaphone. Lindsay is dressed in what appears to be a camp leader uniform. The rest are wearing this year’s official Camp Hackathon T-shirt.

The four men joke about how the first Camp Hackathon started in 2009, during the swine flu pandemic, and how they didn’t want an intern to catch any viruses and infect Facebook’s servers. (Nerd joke alert!) Later, Keyani tells the crowd that if Murarka messes up his part of the kickoff, he’ll have to do 10 pushups right then and there. And yes, Murarka does stumble at one point. People start chanting “Pushups! Pushups!” Murarka is a good sport and obliges the crowd.

In the end, Keyani reminds everyone of the end goal: On Friday at 2 p.m., Camp Hackathon ends with a prototype forum, where everyone can demo what he or she has accomplished in the 43-hour event. Five or six of the projects will make their way to an even smaller demo in front of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, VP of Engineering Mike Schroepfer, VP of Product Management Chris Cox, and other higher-ups. And with that, Keyani yells, “Let’s go fucking hack!”

It’s a surprisingly goofy kickoff that illustrates the type of culture Facebook wants to maintain.

Twitter May Face Sisyphean Challenge in Protected Speech Battle

Twitter indicated Thursday that it will appeal a decision by New York County Criminal Court Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. that the microblogging site must hand over a user's posts. The case stems from an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney regarding the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011 -- in particular, one that occurred in October, when protestors blocked the Brooklyn Bridge. How the case is resolved could have major implications for what constitutes speech in the social media realm and how it is protected.

Canon EOS M – Taste the MILC

Canon introduces their entry into the mirrorless, inter-changeable lens camera (MILC) market with their press release for the  Canon EOS M.  With an 18 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, an ISO range of 100-12800 (extended to 25600 in H Mode ), and a 3″ touchscreen, which includes multitouch features like pinch and zoom. The camera will support 1080p video and stereo audio. Using adapters, it will also support existing EF and EF-S series lenses. Strangely it doesn’t have an inbuilt flash, and it appears that it will ship standard with the new hot-shoe Speedlite 90EX in some markets. I must admit I don’t use the inbuilt flash on any of my cameras very much, but it is nice to have it on hand just in case.

The EOS M will launch in October and retail with an EF-22m F/2 STM lens kit for $799.99; a range of other lenses will be available at release.

Looks like an interesting beast !

How to replace a cracked or broken screen on an iPad 2

How to replace a cracked screen on the new iPad

If you've got an iPad 2 with a broken or cracked screen, AppleCare or insurance won't help, and you're interested in saving some money and fixing it yourself, we can help walk you through a DIY repair. iPad repairs aren't easy, but they aren't impossible either. So if you didn't opt for AppleCare+ and an outright replacement isn't an option, replacing the screen yourself may be worth considering.

Disclaimer: As with any repair, neither iMore nor PXLFIX can be held responsible for any damage you may do to your device. It’s also worth considering that opening up your device to perform any repair or modification can and will void your Apple warranty. If you don’t feel comfortable opening your device, don’t. Use extreme care and caution when performing a repair on any device.

What you need to perform an iPad 2 screen replacement

PXLFIX recommends using only quality and genuine parts from a reputable supplier like eTech Parts. They have quality parts, tools, and much more for all your repair needs.

Power off your iPad 2

Slide to power off iPad

Before performing any kind of repair on any device you should always power it off first.

Take note of caution areas

Underneath the digitizer of the iPad are a few caution areas you want to watch out for. These areas have either sensitive cables or components that can be damaged very easily. So memorize where these areas are and move extremely carefully when working around them.

Cellular antenna (3G models only)

iPad 2 cellular antenna caution area

You'll only need to worry about the cellular antenna if you've got a 3G model. If you've got a Wi-Fi only model, this isn't a caution area for you.

Along the top you will find the cellular antenna. It runs along both sides of the front facing camera. It can easily become attached to the adhesive on the underside of the digitizer and pull up with it. To avoid this from happening you'll want to use a pry tool to hold them down when prying around it. This ensures that it doesn't come up with the screen.

Power button cable

iPad 2 power button cable caution area

The power cable sits at the top right of the iPad 2 and can easily be knicked with a pry tool or iPad opening tool. You'll want to work very cautiously around it to prevent tearing it. You can see in the image how thin it really is. Taking care around it will prevent issues with the power button after reassembly.

Wi-Fi antenna

iPad 2 wifi antenna caution area

The Wi-Fi antenna in the iPad 2 is located along the bottom directly to the right of the Home button. Just like the cellular antenna, it can get caught on the adhesive and be pryed up with the digitizer when you're removing it. Make sure when you're working around this area that you are extra cautious not to tear it.

Digitizer cable

Caution areas iPad digitizer cable

The digitizer cable is located towards the bottom left corner of the iPad about 2 inches up. Even though you'll be removing it and replacing it, still take care not to push it too hard as it can push into the LCD and damage it or pull up on components underneath the LCD. It's best to work around it.

Remove the cracked display

This is the most difficult part of performing an iPad 2 or new iPad screen replacement as the screen is held in with nothing but adhesive. We are going to have to heat it up to soften the adhesive and slowly remove it with our iPad opening tool. Make sure you perform this step extremely carefully and take your time.

Make sure you have made a good mental note of the caution areas mentioned above.

  1. The best place to start is the lower left hand corner of the iPad. Use your heat gun to heat up this area. Use circular motions about an inch from the surface of the iPad and don't stay in any one area too long.
Heat up iPad digitizer frame to loosen adhesive
  • Now take your iPad opening tool and very carefully insert it in between the digitizer and plastic frame right below where the digitizer cable should be. Take great care not to push too hard or stick the pry tool under too far as you will nick the LCD. If the pry tool does not want to slide in easily, heat up the iPad a bit more.
  • Begin to pry up iPad digitizer at the bottom left corner
  • Once you've got your pry tool inserted, gently rock it back and forth in order to break the adhesive around it. There is also a foam type of adhesive that runs around the LCD that needs to break. Looking at eye level you will be able to see it separate.
  • Rock your iPad pry tool back and forth to help break the adhesive
  • After a tiny section is free you can slip a plastic pry tool underneath it to hold it up.
  • Place your pry tool underneath the digitizer to hold it up
  • Now move on to the next section and repeat taking care not to damage any of the caution areas we mentioned previously. Depending on how bad the iPad is cracked and where, you may have to jump around and heat up different areas and work your way around in opposite directions. If glass breaks, that's ok. Just make sure not to ever bend it in the direction of the LCD.
  • This is the longest process and the most tedious. Take your time and make sure each area is heated thoroughly before you move to another section or attempt to remove the digitizer.

    Once you think you've gotten all or almost all of the adhesive broke we can pry up the digitizer.

    1. Carefully lift up the right side of the digitizer in order to swing it to the left. Be careful to wath the caution areas to make sure they aren't being pulled up along with the broken digitizer. If they are, break the adhesive holding them onto the screen before prying any further.
    Lift the digitizer gently to the left
  • Once the digitizer is completely separated from the frame you can go ahead and cut the digitizer cable with a pair of scissors to remove it from the iPad. Don't throw it away just yet as we will need a few things off of it in a later step.
  • Remove the LCD assembly

    Before we proceed any further into cleaning out the frame, we want to get the completely exposed LCD out of the way and place it somewhere safe.

    1. Remove the 4 screws in each corner of the LCD with your #00 Phillips screwdriver.
    Top 2 LCD screws on new iPadBottom 2 LCD screws on new iPad
  • Use a pry tool to grab hold of the LCD along the right side and gently lift it up but not all the way out as the cable is still attached.
  • Lift up iPad 2 LCD to see LCD and digitizer cables
  • With the LCD lifted with one hand, use the other to gently pull up on the LCD cable. There is a tiny bit of adhesive holding it into the iPad. Don't pull up hard though as the LCD is still attached.
  • Lift up iPad 2 LCD
  • Now use your pry tool to lift up the clasp holding the cable in place and slowly back the LCD cable out of its socket.
  • Remove iPad 2 LCD
  • Place the LCD somewhere you know is safe until we are ready to place it back in the iPad.
  • Remove what is left of the old digitizer cable

    1. Flip up the two clasps that hold the two sides of the cable in place.
    Pry up iPad 2 digitizer cable
  • Slowly back the end of the digitizer cable out of the socket and discard it.
  • Remove old iPad 2 digitizer cable

    Clean out the frame of the iPad

    iPad 2 clean out frame

    Before moving on you'll most likely have a lot of glass and left over adhesive in the frame. You will need to remove all of it before placing in a new assembly.

    If you need to, use your heat gun in order to heat up any left over adhesive on the frame to make it easier to peel off. There's really no nice and tidy way to do this. Use a pry tool or metal spatula to whittle away the excess broken glass and adhesive.

    Once you are positive that the entire frame is free of old adhesive and broken glass, we can move on.

    Ready the new assembly

    Ready your new iPad assembly

    You'll only need to use this step if the new digitizer assembly you ordered did not come with the Home button and camera hold pre-assembled onto the new one. If it did, skip this step and move on. If it didn't, continue reading this section.

    Remove the following items with your pry tool off the old digitizer assembly taking care not to bend them.

    • Home button bracket
    • Home button
    • Camera hold (located at the top of the digitizer where the front facing camera would sit underneath it)

    Place the Home button on the new assembly

    1. Start by placing the actual Home button on the new assembly. Use the edge of the frame to make sure it is lined up correctly and straight.
    Place home button and gasket on new iPad assembly
  • Once you've gotten the new Home button lined up correctly, flip it over to make sure that it's straight in the frame. If it's not, adjust it accordingly.
  • Make sure the adhesive is pressed down all the way so it doesn't come loose.
  • Now place the Home button bracket on top of the Home button adding more adhesive if you need to (you probably will). Any type of strong two-sided adhesive will work.
  • Place adhesive on iPad home button bracket
  • Again, use the edge of the frame to make sure the bracket is lined up straight and directly over the Home button and press down firmly.
  • Place home button bracket on new iPad assembly
  • Flip over the assembly and test it by pushing down on the Home button. If the Home button depresses normally like it should and feels okay, you've got it on correctly.
  • Test home button assembly on new iPad digitizer frame

    Place the camera hold on the new assembly

    Place camera hold on new iPad assembly

    To put the camera hold on the new assembly, apply new adhesive to the back of it if necessary (again, it's recommended). Use the top of the frame to make sure it's lined up correctly and push down firmly.

    To make sure it's in correctly, you can always lay it down carefully in the iPad frame and make sure the top lines up without getting caught up on anything around the camera hold.

    Apply new adhesive to the iPad frame

    Reline iPad frame with new adhesive

    If you have ordered a new iPad digitizer that already has the adhesive applied, you can skip this step.

    1. Start in any corner you'd like and start carefully laying the new adhesive around the edge of the screen. Pre-cut strips work the best but you may cut your own as well.
    2. Make sure you don't cover up any components around the Home button area that shouldn't be covered. Also take care around wires so you don't nick or cover them in adhesive.
    3. Once you're done applying the new adhesive, don't peel off the backing of it just yet.

    Attach the new digitizer assembly

    1. Once you've gotten the new assembly ready to go we can attach it to the iPad.
    2. Carefully insert the two ends of the digitizer cable into the socket you removed the old one from. In order to get the cable to fit correctly, part of the cable will need to be tucked underneath the metal frame.
    ipad 2 place digitizer cable
  • Most replacement cables will have white lines on each side. Make sure the digitizer cable is pushed in to or a little past the white lines or the touch screen may not fully respond.
  • Once you're sure the cable is pushed in all the way you can use your pry tool to snap back down the clips that hold it in place.
  • iPad 2 secure digitizer cable

    Replace the LCD assembly

    1. Just like you attached the digitizer assembly, carefully re-attach the LCD assembly in the same way.
    2. Make sure the cable is pushed all the way in. Once it is, fasten the clip that holds it into place.
    iPad 2 replace LCD cable into socket
  • Lay the LCD into place carefully and replace the 4 screws around the edge of the LCD.
  • Replace the 4 screws holding the ipad LCD in place

    Test the digitizer assembly

    Before peeling off the backing to the adhesive, now is a perfect time to test the assembly instead of waiting until you've stuck down the screen with adhesive before realizing it's defective.

    Gently flip over the digitizer and power on the iPad. Once the slide to unlock screen comes up, go ahead and slide your finger to unlock to make sure the screen responds to touch. Tab through the Home screens for a minute to make sure everything is working like normal.

    If everything is in good shape, go ahead and hold down the power button and slide to power off again.

    If you had issues, double-check the digitizer cable again making absolutely sure it's all the way in place and secured. If you still have no touch capability, you may have a defective unit and need to send it back. This is very uncommon if you've used a good supplier that offers quality parts. It does happen from time to time though. If this is the case, place your iPad somewhere safe until the supplier sends you a new replacement digitizer assembly.

    Remove adhesive backing, protective shields, and secure the new digitizer

    Heat up iPad frame to secure new digitizer in place

    This part can be a bit tricky as well so make sure you're careful and that you lay the digitizer down very carefully.

    1. Pull the backing off all the adhesive taking care around the digitizer cable and making sure that the cable doesn't get stuck. Now remove the protective backing off the inside of the digitizer that protects the screen from getting dust on the inside.
    2. Carefully flip the digitizer into place making sure that you are lining up the frame at the top and the bottom. Pay specific attention around the front-facing camera and by the bottom around the Home button. Test the Home button and make sure it depresses ok and look at the front-facing camera to make sure it's lined up correctly.
    3. Continue working your way around the frame gently pushing it into place.
    4. The bottom left corner where the digitizer cable sits may need a bit of extra pressure to make sure it secures over the cable.
    5. Once you're satisfied with how the digitizer is sitting, pull out your heat gun and gently heat around the frame one last time.
    6. Use a cleaning cloth so you don't burn your fingers and slowly work your way around the frame applying even pressure in each section to secure the digitizer to the frame. I'd recommend heating up small portions at a time and holding each section down for 30 seconds until you've made your way around the entire iPad.

    And ...done!

    Finished iPad digitizer replacement

    Once you've made sure the digitizer is secure you can go ahead and power on your iPad 2. If all was done correctly, you should now have a working iPad 2 again without a shattered screen.

    This ranks as one of the hardest most ninja level iOS device DIY repairs so if you succeeded, give yourself a huge pat on the back. The good news is, if you performed this repair with great results, you shouldn't have any issue performing any other iPhone or iPod touch repair in the future.

    Apple wins EU-wide ban on Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.7, seeks $2.5bn in damages in U.S. courts

    Android CentralThe latest chapter in the ongoing patent feud between Samsung and Apple sees one of the former's tablets being banned throughout the EU, and the latter seeking damages of over $2.5 billion in the U.S. courts.

    First up, a court in Dusseldorf, Germany has ruled that while the Galaxy Tab 10.1N doesn't infringe upon Apple's patented designs, but its 7.7-inch sibling wasn't so lucky. As a result, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 has been banned from sale across the EU. This results in a rather bizarre situation in the UK, where Apple was recently ordered to take out ads stating that Samsung didn't copy the iPad's design, yet Sammy is unable to sell its Tab 7.7 because it's copying the iPad's design.

    Meanwhile in California, court documents reveal exactly how much cash Apple wants from Samsung in damages as part of the ongoing patent war. According to figures unearthed by FOSS Patents​, Cupertino is seeking a total of more than $2.5 billion from the Korean company. That's made up of $2.02 for every Samsung product that uses "overscroll bounce," $3.10 for every device that uses a "scrolling API," and $24 for each device found to infringe upon Apple's patented designs or trade dress.

    Whether Apple gets its way remains to be seen, but whatever happens, we can be sure the patent lawyers will be laughing all the way to the bank.

    Burrito Bison is a simple game for gummy bear lovers

    burritobison
    Burrito Bison is a pretty simple game, but if you're into gummy bears you might find it addictive.

    As you may have guessed from the name, you're a bison (not a burrito, though). In the course of your day-to-day grocery shopping, you're abducted into a bag of gummy bears, and must now fend for yourself.

    At the beginning of each round you launch yourself onto the marching gummy (gummi?) bears, while you're being watched by a huge crowd of even more gummy bears. Your goal is to keep bouncing on the bears and earn more and more money while you do it. Every time you hit a gummy bear, you lose some momentum. If you hit the floor, you basically lose all of it.

    But don't give up just yet! You have an emergency thrust which you can use to gain some momentum and keep bouncing on those bears. This extra thrust gets refilled as you hit more bears.

    There are also special gummy bears that give you extra thrust or extra money. The money comes in handy at the end of each round, when you can shop for cool stuff to make your bison even more effective against those gummy bears.

    It's a fun and colorful game that kept my interest for quite some time, and almost sent me running to the closest store to get some gummy bears!

    Review: Motorola Atrix HD Smartphone for AT&T

    Motorola’s Atrix HD smartphone has a nice price at $100 on contract, but its killer feature is the 4.5-inch touchscreen, which offers an iPhone-rivaling level of clarity. Photo by Peter McCollough/Wired

    A little less than two years ago, Apple’s iPhone 4 made its debut with with a display of unrivaled clarity. The Retina display’s pixel density of 326 pixels per inch gave it a sharpness that no Android phone could match.

    Just this past May, the HTC One X made its U.S. debut, complete with a beautiful display packing 316 pixels per inch. Finally, Retina-like quality could be had on an Android phone. But, like the iPhone 4S (which has the same screen as the now $100 iPhone 4), the One X is a premium product that wears a premium $200 price tag.

    It was only a matter of time before such high-quality displays started trickling down to $100 Android handsets, but I wouldn’t have guessed it would happen this soon. With the arrival of the Morotola Atrix HD, which is available for $100 on-contract from AT&T, Android fans now have a modestly priced handset with a sharp, iPhone-like display.
