RIM Stock Falls to 8 Year Low after BlackBerry 10...
Sean Hollister - The Verge:
Two days ago, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins unveiled the new BlackBerry 10 platform, but investors don’t seem impressed: today, the BlackBerry manufacturer’s stock hit an eight-year low of $11.91 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
There were a couple features that I thought might be cool, but overall it seems too little too late. It appears others feel that way...

Live Sports on ROGERS™ anyplace tv →
I mentioned in an earlier post how my viewing habits had changed with my Netflix and over the air HD setup. I stated that the one thing I do miss due to my lack of a cable subscription is live sports.
I proposed that the major sports leagues offer a new online streaming package, one where you would get all the games for one team regardless of local blackouts.
Along with the start of the 2012...

James Cameron Updates Sky for Titanic Rerelease
Cameron made only one change: the stars in the picture during one particular shot near the end of the film after the ship went down were replaced to accurately reflect what exactly was in the night sky at that time and date.
As a visual effects artist, I really enjoy this news.

Adobe Charging Flash Devs
Stephen Shankland from CNET:
More specifically, Adobe will require developers to share 9 percent of net revenue beyond $50,000 for using the premium features, Adobe announced today. The premium features are Stage 3D for hardware-accelerated graphics and domain memory for better conversion of games previously written in C or C++.
Yes, because charging developers to use your dying platform is...
Arthur Gies at The Verge on MLB.TV Blackouts
It’s unfortunate that the Xbox Live implementation of MLB.TV is restricted by broadcast rules that seem about eight years behind the current state of technology and services, but it’s not particularly surprising
Photoshop Needs a Rewrite
The Verge on Photoshop CS6:
Photoshop CS6 may look like a huge visual refresh — and it’s certainly the most drastic one in recent memory — but it’s largely the same Photoshop, good and bad, underneath.
Photoshop is in need of a entire overhaul. Adobe is adding (some) great technology and features to the application, but they still start with a legacy source that is over a decade...

The Pirate Bay is Trying to put Servers in The...
The Pirate Bay Blog via Hacker News:
With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio equipment and tiny new computers like the Raspberry Pi, we’re going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air. This way our machines will have to be shut down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war.

The Loop on Testing The New iPad
Jim Dalrymple of The Loop:
I know everyone will be speed testing the processors and graphics chips, but I’d like to take a different approach and give you some information on how I actually use the iPad. My testing lab is my life, and how a device fits into that determines if I continue to use it or not.
I agree. For example: The RIM Blackberry Playbook and The iPad (3rd Generation) have the...
