In a surprising twist, Amazon was reportedly considering a RIM acquisition as recently as this past summer. According to Reuters, Amazon had tasked an investment bank with exploring the possibility of a RIM buyout, although their sources don't... |

But it looks like at least a few you did just that, and were quite taken with this durable 11.6-inch laptop.... |

You might want to take a break.

Well, that's what memories are there for. The recently-released Nook 1.4.1 firmware update apparently prevents the Nook Tablet from installing Android apps from non-Barnes & Noble sources. As a result, the unit is confined to the roughly 2,000 apps available through B&N's app store (many of which are priced higher than their Android Market equivalents).... |

Samsung has already suffered some big losses with the banning of its Galaxy Tab in Germany and Australia. HTC, however, has remained mostly safe from Apple's wrath. In July the Taiwanese manufacturer had a close call, as Administrative Law Judge Carl Charneski ruled that HTC was infringing two of Apple's proposed 10... |

We know. There are a lot of questions out there about just how popular the Chevy Volt really is, and whether it's restricted supply or soft demand that's holding sales back. According to GM CEO Dan Akerson, though, supply won't be a problem come 2012. In the past, we're heard all sorts of possible Volt production numbers for 2012 - everything from 35,000 to... |

And Their Approach To Mobile Disney's alligator-centric Where's My Water game made a bit of a splash when it launched in Apple's App Store this past September, and not for the reasons you may be thinking of.

The photovoltaic power plant (which is a posh way of saying "lots of solar panels in the Sacramento desert") currently being built by Recurrent Energy will generate 88MW, enough juice for 13,000 homes. Additional investment is coming from equity fund KKR, who has already sold the first 20 years of energy to the Sacramento Municipal Utility... |

| Air Force planning holographic quantum computers to help Sam Beckett leap home Posted: 20 Dec 2011 10:37 AM PST Air Force planning holographic quantum computers to help Sam Beckett leap home  Air Force planning holographic quantum computers to help Sam Beckett leap home Did you know that light is a better transmitter of quantum computer information than any sort of cabling? Because it isn't altered by electric and magnetic fields, it would be perfect for carrying data if photons would stop being so snobby and interact with one another. Only highly-sensitive interferometers can overcome that problem, and they're so fussy that a mild sneeze near to one would wreck its calibration.... |
