Comment I Pre-Ordered a 4S - My First iphone (Score 1) 327
I've been a Droid X user for almost two years, and was waiting for the iPhone 5 (which is apparently called a 4S) to make a move. I pre-ordered on Friday.
I'll still have the Droid X (i don't pay for it) but iPhone 4S will be my first iPhone.
Anecdotes are meaningless but at least here's one to counter the "no one wants one" posts.
Google Buys AI Social Search Service Aardvark 41
eldavojohn writes "MIT's Tech Review is covering an acquisition it finds very interesting. Google (which recently announced Buzz) has acquired Aardvark. The review covered Aardvark and the artificial intelligence it uses in its searches in 2009."
Herschel Spectroscopy of Future Supernova 21
davecl writes "ESA's Herschel Space Telescope has released its first spectroscopic results. These include observations of VYCMa, a star 50 times as massive as the sun and soon to become a supernova, as well as a nearby galaxy, more distant colliding starburst galaxies and a comet in our own solar system. The spectra show more lines than have ever been seen in these objects in the far-infrared and will allow astronomers to work out the detailed chemistry and physics behind star and planet formation as well as the last stages of stellar evolution before VYCMa's eventual collapse into a supernova. More coverage is available at the Herschel Mission Blog, which I run."
