Admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 20:00:00 +0000

Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he’ll explore where our industry is and where it’s going — on both micro and macro levels — with the unique wit and insight only he can provide. A core part of Microsoft’s strategy from days gone by was known as embrace and extend.

Word on the street had it that Tesla’s $50 million deal with Toyota wasn’t formal back in late May, but evidently things have made positive progress since. According to a new (though admittedly brief) report over at CNN , Toyota is currently working with the electric automaker on a pair of prototype vehicles

Shocker! Apple approves apps for using LED on iPhone 4 as flashlight

Admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 14:33:00 +0000

Nah, your sarcasm detector isn’t busted — we genuinely are surprised that Apple has lifted the iron fist and allowed a piece of hardware on its handset to be used for something other than Jobs himself intended. It may seem trivial to those who haven’t witnessed Apple block the most sensible of programs in the past, but allowing applications that enable end-user control of the LED camera flash is a pretty big deal .

Conflipper says Shipped Roms is ‘here to stay,’ will cooperate with HTC

It looks like those worried that firmware site Shipped Roms would disappear after being hit with a cease and desist letter from HTC can now rest a bit easier — Conflipper, the man behind the site, says that it is “here to stay.” That news comes after the site was apparently able to work out a deal of sorts with HTC, in which it has agreed to no longer host so-called test or carrier files (HTC is said to be providing it with a complete list of files it doesn’t want hosted). Conflipper also says that he’s asked HTC about becoming a license partner, which HTC seemed to at least be open to.

Look out, Kayak / Bing Travel — you both are about to have your respective worlds rocked. While Google has managed to stay on top (or close to the top) when it comes to almost everything search related, the company has curiously allowed smaller niche brands to handle the travel side

With a 2.26GHz Core i3-350M processor and a $1,149 asking price, the Fujitsu Lifebook TH700′s no netvertible , to be sure, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a tablet with more bang for the buck.

Indeed, it’s the first of a new line of web-connected printers from HP to feature ePrint , the ability to email messages with attachments (Microsoft Office documents, PDFs and JPEG image files to name a few) to the printer from any device including smartphones and tablets — no driver or app required
