Is Nokia starting to believe in the Surface phone?

|

Author: jos

Surfacephonemock_large

Just ahead of the launch of Windows Phone 8, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said he had “no indicators” that Microsoft was constructing its very own Area phone, even welcoming Microsoft to sign up with the ranks as “a stimulant to the environment.” Nokia has actually never made any formal risk statements that Microsoft might build its very own smartphone, however this week the company’s tone changed rather.

In a filing with the SEC, found by ZDNet, Nokia acknowledged that Microsoft might effectively be building its very own smartphone hardware. “Microsoft may make strategic decisions or changes that may be harmful to us. For instance, in addition to the Surface tablet, Microsoft may expand its method to sell various other mobile gadgets under its own brand, consisting of smartphones … Continue reading & hellip;

How many of you believe that robots will be a normal part of a human houshold in 20 years?

Question by JTK: How many of you believe that robots will be a normal part of a human houshold in 20 years?
I think they probably will be with Bill Gates involved in the whole thing. Usually if Bill Gates thinks it is going to happen it will, just like when he launced Microsoft 30 years ago. We have made a lot of advances in robotics the last few years, take Asimo for example. I personally think it will happen.

Answer by dr cain
It would do you well to listen closely sir, if we dont’ stop what we are doing right now we will be lucky if a human is part of a robot household in 20 years. I have been watching and reading a lot about robots and I am pretty sure they will be taking over the planet in the fall of 2011. Mark my words sir, mark my words well.

I Believe Him: Britain’s Oldest Man Credits Longevity To The Magic Potion He Drank In India Decades Ago

|

Author: Stacey Cook

Seen right here with eyes burnt red from years of abusing his laser vision, Reverend Reg Dean is Britain’s oldest man, at 110. But does he credit his long life to his vegetarian diet or a bargain he made with God? NOPE– it was the magic potion he drank in India when he was in the army. WE MUST LOCATE THIS RECIPE.

The Reverend Reg Administrator as an alternative attributes it to a ‘mysterious brown-looking’ elixir of life offered to him by a doctor when he was an army chaplain in India.

‘He stated to me, “I have prepared a drink that will make you live for ever before”, or something like that, and would I like to take it?’ he remembered yesterday.

‘Well I’m very naive, I can’t say no, so I drank it and here I am.’

Naive? Drinking mysterious brown-looking elixirs doesn’t make you naive, it makes you IMMORTAL. Luckily, utilizing my network of Geekologie operatives, I was able to find a recipe for the elixir in Mumbai, and I’m providing bottles of ‘GW’s Live Forever Juice’ for the low-low rate of $ 1-million. “That’s a Coke container with ‘GW’s Live Forever Juice’ written on it. Okay fine, however I really am offering bottled water from the Fountain of Youth. “It’s just Perrier isn’t really it?” No! Evian.

Thanks to xer, who, for two tips in one day, wins one extracurricular relations potion. “That’s a Hi-C pouch.” ENOUGH OUT OF YOU.

I’ll Believe It When I See It: $9 Cardboard Bicycles

|

Author: Brandon Zimmerman

This is a recycled cardboard bicycle built by Izhar Gafni. It can allegedly support a rider up to 300-lbs (although their ass will engulf the seat) and is unaffected by water or humidity because it’s been coated with anti-water and humidity stuff. I’m scientific!

In an article by No Camels, it was reported that the production cost of Gafni’s cardboard bicycles was around USD$ 9 to $ 12 each, and he estimated that one could be sold to consumers for $ 60 to $ 90, depending on the components they choose to add.

Wow, so you’re gonna make a bike for $ 9-$ 12, then sell it for for almost 7 times that? How about we make $ 9 bikes, then ship them to third-world nations so children don’t have to spend the whole day walking to the mud hole and back just to get a bucket of water? Really free up some time to play with sticks and rocks.

Hit the jump for a lengthy video about the bikes.

The universe is full of organics, the precursors of life. Why is it so hard to believe that life is natural?

Question by Icarus62: The universe is full of organics, the precursors of life. Why is it so hard to believe that life is natural?
All sorts of organic molecules exist in space – in meteorites, in comets, in intersellar gas and dust:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1897186.stm

The universe is clearly conducive to self-organisation and complexity, so it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that this process led to the phenomenon of self-replication, evolution, and us. Why do some people continue to reject this idea?
d_chino_m: Yes, you’re probably right – religion is all about ego.

Because it would mean that they aren’t special.

It’s Time To Believe In RIM And The BlackBerry Again

|

Author: Stefanie Jenkins

Research In Motion, maker of the once ubiquitous BlackBerry, just released its Q4 2012 earnings. They’re not good. Revenue dropped to $ 4.2 billion, down 19% from the third quarter. Likewise, BlackBerry sales plummeted 21% from Q3 down to 11.1M units, but surprising, PlayBook sales were way up to 500k units. One of the company’s former co-CEO’s Jim Balsillie resigned amid what we’re hearing are deep layoffs throughout the company.

This is the first set of financial data released under the new CEO, Thorsten Heins. Even though there are black clouds looming over Waterloo, as my headline states, it’s time to believe in RIM again. The conditions are right for a rebirth.

For several years RIM has been the enemy of every upstart smartphone vender and more telling, innovation itself. RIM once held a staggering piece of the smartphone market share pie, but the company failed to keep pace with Apple and Google. Now, in 2012, a BlackBerry made today, looks, feels and works too similarly to one from five years ago.

RIM failed to curate a proper development ecosystem. The company launched the BlackBerry app store too late and failed to capitalize on the emergence of pure touchscreen devices. The BlackBerry PlayBook was a predictable failure thanks to its lack of core features and late arrival. The company even failed to oust its naive CEOs until just recently. In short RIM doesn’t know how to conduct business in a timely manner.

RIM is unique in the smartphone race. Its success is dictated by hardware sales and also services. Google and Apple know this. iOS and Android devices have been sneaking into RIM’s enterprise market since they were announced. But try as they might for years, they have failed to kick BlackBerrys out of the corner office. RIM’s platform is still the service of choice for many corporations, although that may change just this year.

IT managers and CTOs have stuck with RIM because of familiarity and the cost to change. Much like myself and most of you, they don’t care if one platform dominates over another. These IT managers do not want to see a product die just for the hell of it. They simply want a product that works and keeps the IT service calls down to a minimum. If RIM can keep moving forward at a steady pace — that’s a big “if” — they’ll retain many of these lucrative contracts. If RIM can deliver BB 10 devices on time — that’s an even bigger “if” — then the company might actually regain lost market share.

Thankfully for RIM, smartphone innovation has slowed drastically recently. Android and iOS are turning to novelties like bigger screens and silly voice controls to sell more devices. RIM couldn’t keep up with these platform’s product churn during their roaring early days. Since smartphone development has seemingly plateaued lately, RIM should be able to show up with competitive products that match the current standard feature set.

RIM’s days of ruling both the consumer and enterprise market are likely in the past. Products that are equally innovative and trendy are key to winning consumers. The upcoming BlackBerry 10 products look to be innovative enough although they’ll probably be far from trendy.

BlackBerry fanboys still exist. They’re out there and love their Bolds and Curves. There still isn’t a better email/messaging device than a BlackBerry. I would go back to a BlackBerry in a hot second if they had a similar feature set as an Android device. Much like Windows Phones now, BlackBerrys have always been about core features over apps. The company has also pretty much ignored the importance of apps. In fact the company’s managers seem ignorant on the matter.

With today’s earnings report, RIM is likely (hopefully) at the bottom. Its stock price is at its lowest point in nine years. Deep cuts (which seem to be happening) and a renewed focus on core values are needed. They need to stop blaming the press for their problems and not run crying to my editors when I joke that their execs spend more time golfing than working. (Note: That really happened. We all had a good chuckle.) It’s one thing not to champion a company anymore, only ignorant fanboys want to see a company simply die.

RIM is hopefully taking notes from Nokia’s recent resurgence. It wasn’t that long ago that Nokia was labeled as a has-been. Now Nokia is riding on a wave of novel products running a still-obscure operating system. RIM can, and hopefully will, do the same thing with BlackBerry 10 devices later this year.

For what it’s worth, the new CEO, Thorsten Heins, seems surprisingly open to any opportunity that could help turn the ailing company around. During RIM’s earnings conference call this afternoon, he reaffirmed to listeners that as part of his “strategic review,” he will consider options like licensing the the BlackBerry 10 operating system (even though no one knows what it looks like yet). Hell, when asked about the possibility of selling the company, he said he would consider it if his review pointed to it as a viable option, though he was quick to note that it’s not exactly Plan A.

RIM is beaten and laying on the floor. Together, Apple and Google knocked out the champ. Since then, they’ve started fighting each other, seemingly ignoring RIM as regains his strength. He might take another blow from time to time, but with a renewed focus he should stay on his feet from here on out. After years of savage beatings, he’s like the honey badger now and just doesn’t care.

LG Miracle appears in real life, we start to believe

|

Author: Laura Clark

LG’s smartphone workshop is keeping itself busy. Alongside the manufacturer’s attempt to out-Note Samsung, its latest Windows Phone has resurfaced. A kindly mole has offered some better focused (but unfortunately watermarked to heck) shots of LG’s first Mango-laced Windows Phone. Skinnier that we expected, we can now make out a front-facing camera, paired up with a rear-facing five-megapixel primary shooter on the back. It’s still a prototype, judging by that not-so-subtle “not for sale” etching on the back, but expect the Miracle — when it does go official — to match those middleweight credentials leaked so far.
