Feb. 14, 2011 — All sorts of interesting information is coming out of MWC lately, and one tidbit came in concerning Samsung'sGalaxy Tab.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 will not be a 7-inch device
Samsung’s language was apparently quite strong saying, “7-inch device could not be considered a tablet”. This part of the market could be covered by larger phones 4.3-inches+ and smaller slates.
Samsung is sticking with their guns and not calling 7-inch devices tablets.

This update is a solid one, and shows that the Windows Phone team is doing what Apple and Google are already doing: quick, small iterations in the OS to bring rapid improvements, instead of the monolithic juggernaut approach of desktop
Windows. It looks pretty good. Hopefully — with the help of Nokia — maybe people will actually start to buy the phones.

I noticed the free developer tools from Microsoft were already updated over a month ago. The Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express package is pretty easy and fun to use, even for Noobs to programming.

When Hosni Mubarak shut down Egypt's internet and cellphone communications, it seemed that all U.S. officials could do was ask him politely to change his mind.

Feb. 5, 2011 — What looks like a contraption out of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Skin-cell Gun is more like an airbrush gun that holds healthy stem cells that were donated from a burn victim’s own healthy skin. Using the device, these healthy stem cells are sprayed onto the burned area of a patient’s body and what happens next is truly amazing. Instead of a burn wound that normally takes weeks to heal, the same wound can be cured in as little as a few days.

A jaw-dropping 54 percent of VZW's Android and BlackBerry users say they're either very likely or somewhat likely to buy the iPhone.

ZoomWednesday a proof-of-concept app was uploaded and made available on the Android Market that took advantage of two serious flaws recently discovered in the Android OS.
Disguised as an Angry Birds expansion, the app silently installed three additional apps without the need for user authorization. The hidden apps also had the ability to gain access to the user's phone contacts, location information and SMS functionality. They could also transmit the data to a remote server. Do you have any idea how many turkeys actually fell for it?
