The countdown to Oneiric Ocelot begins, Ubuntu 11.10 arrives October 13th
Like UnlikeA whole new world? A whole new computer? Those are some pretty epic promises coming from the folks at Canonical, especially since we've seen the most recent beta and Ubuntu 11.10 and, while its packed with welcome improvements over Natty, it's not exactly revolutionary. Still, we're excited that on October 13th the final release of Oneiric Ocelot will be hitting the web with an improved Dash that integrates search Lenses, new default apps, a spiffed-up app switcher and application syncing across multiple devices. There are plenty of other little tweaks and improvements that add polish to the popular Linux distribution -- more than we could possibly cover without inspiring a string of TLDR co...

JVC brings GC-PX10 hybrid 1080p60 video, still camera to US
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasJVCGC-PX10
JVC chose Monday to bring one of its most unique cameras to the US. The GC-PX10 is meant to stand as the best of both moving and still imagery. Through its use of the Falconbrid chip from the TD1, it can record 1080p video at a full 60 frames per second but can still snap 8.3-megapixel shots in mid-video with the relatively large 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor.
Special modes have their own unique advantages over either camcorders or conventional still cameras. The camera can shoot full 12-megapixel, ISO 6,400 stills at 30 frames per second for two seconds but can shoot 8.3-megapixel stills at an even faster 60 frames per second. Slow motion video is an option at 640x360 at 300 frames per second for ...

64GB iPhone 4S and 8GB iPhone 4 Show Up on Vodafone Germany's Site
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Well the cat's just about out of the clear plastic shrink-wrap bag on the iPhone 4S. Giz Brazil had exclusive photos of Apple's new iPhone 4S over the weekend, and now Vodafone Germany's listed the iPhone 4S and a new 8GB iPhone 4 on its official site.
The Vodafone site lists 16, 32, and 64GB models of the iPhone 4S, and 8, 16 and 32GB models of the iPhone 4 on multiple accessory pages. We've heard about the 8GB iPhone 4 previously, and of course the 64GB iPhone has been rumored for years. With iPhone Day coming tomorrow, this seems like it's probably a little more than gum flapping and guesstimating by Vodafone, but it could just as easily be a dummy listing installed ahead of tomorrow to r...

Nokia Ace: The third Nokia Windows Phone surfaces
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
We’ve already heard that Nokia might be launching not one but two Windows Phone 7 smartphones at the end of October; however, we're now hearing rumours that Nokia could be planning a third handset as well.
Over the weekend spec details leaked out for the Nokia Ace thanks to MyNokiaBlog.com.
Sent in by an anonymous tipster, so the information has to be taken with a pinch of salt, the new phone will supposedly come with better specs than the already rumoured Sea Ray (yes it’s all a bit wishy washy isn’t it).

Google Chrome Headed to Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Among a host of other things, Google is also a mighty successful browser vendor, what with both its desktop and mobile browsers occupying the third spot in their respective markets and constantly conquering fresh ground. However, a lot of people are wondering why Google continues to have two separate browsers for the desktop and mobile markets. But soon enough these people will have better things to do, for an effort to port Chrome over to Android now seems to be underway.
According to the Chromium codebase website, Android has been set up as a build target. It will be interesting to see what all features make the transition from the desktop to Android. As you’d expect, not much is known abo...

Zune HD is dead confirms Microsoft
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersMicrosoftZune HD
Microsoft has officially confirmed that its Zune PMPs – including the Zune HD - have been axed, despite having denied yesterday that such a decision about the media players had been made. “We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy,” Microsoft’s Zune Player support page claims, “and that we will no longer be producing Zune players”
As we observed yesterday, the Zune HD has gone two years without a refresh; we initially reviewed it back in September 2009. A refresh was tipped for late 2010, but then Microsoft swung its focus to Windows Phone and how it could include both smartphone and media player functionality in one pac...

Xbox 360 fall dashboard video leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesMicrosoftXBOX 360
A video has been posted online which shows off the upcoming Xbox 360 dashboard update. The footage is courtesy of a recently leaked software development kit for the 360 that includes the new dashboard, says TG Daily.
It is suspected that an Xbox employee in France somehow obtained a copy of the software. Content in the video is in French and was originally posted by Logic-Sunrise. The soundless clip gives the general public their first look at the dashboard in full motion. Microsoft released some slides of the planned update earlier this year but video certainly provides a richer experience.
The scheduled update will allow users to browse content faster and use the Kinect motion-sensing devi...

Facebook Will Warn You If A Link Contains Malware
Like UnlikeBetter late than never, Facebook. The social network has finally added a security layer that scans links posted by your friends, and warns you if the link contains undesirables like viruses, trojans, phishing attempts, even illegal porn.
It's a long overdue layer of protection for a Web service that boasts more than 750 million users; in recent months we've seen a number of viruses that were spread through links embedded onto people's Facebook profiles: the "death" of Lady Gaga, the fake "See Who Has Viewed Your Profile" application, and fake announcements sent from the Facebook Team .
But on Monday, Facebook announced that it has subscribed to Websense's ThreatSeeker Cloud, which scans bill...

The Crazy 64-Core Processor That Wants to Be in Your Smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesCPU
Chip company Adapteva has a crazy notion: Let's turn our smartphones into veritable supercomputers. And the way to do it? Up the ante in processing power. Not with just dual-core or quad-core processors. No, their Epiphany IV chip has a monstrous 64 cores.
The Epiphany IV isn't a system-on-a-chip like, say, the Apple A5 or even the new NVIDIA Kal-El chips. Rather, it's a co-processor that'll work alongside the chips that already power our phones to provide up to now unheard of power. The idea is to accelerate and enhance processes like gesture recognition and facial recognition, and perhaps create a few new experiences in the process.
Some perspective. The iPad's A5 provides roughly 1.5 giga...
