Hacktivist group Anonymous and a crew of emerging merry hackers known as are joining forces to target the dissemination of government secrets and the defacement of other websites such as those belonging to banks. “As we’re aware, the government and whitehat security terrorists across the world continue to dominate and control our Internet ocean,” LulzSec said in a statement on Monday. “Sitting pretty on cargo bays full of corrupt booty, they think it’s acceptable to condition and enslave all vessels in sight.

Google Panda 2.2 starts rolling out
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google looks to have started rolling out its latest Panda update over the weekend, with many sites claiming they are seeing a boost in their search traffic.
Search Engine Optimisation forums online are abuzz with website owners saying that they’ve either been forced further down the search results page, or as in some cases, are enjoying a higher ranking and therefore more traffic than they did earlier in the week for no apparent reason.

It's the first high-profile 7-inch tablet we've seen in quite some time, and somehow or another, it's managed to leapfrog most of the currently shipping Honeycomb tablets with a build of Android we've only ever joked about.

Sony Ericsson dates XPERIA X10 Gingebread update, teases with video demo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSony EricssonGoogleXperia X10Android 2.3
Sony Ericsson has confirmed that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the XPERIA X10 is scheduled to arrive in early August, though not everybody with the handset will get the new ROM. Those with generic trade models – i.e. sold unlocked and SIM-free – will get the update first (you can see Sony Ericsson’s demo of Gingerbread on the X10 after the cut), but only select operator-supplied X10 variants will get it after that.

Microsoft Launches Internet Explorer 9 Mobile Test Drive
Like UnlikeFiled in: Microsoft
If you want to see how your website will look in Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer 9 mobile browser, then you can now do so with a new Mobile Test Drive site. Microsoft has just launched the tool so that developers can make sure their sites mesh with the new browser that’s set to launch with the upcoming Windows Phone 7.1 Mango update.
The Mobile Test Drive site will work similar to the Internet Explorer 9 desktop version test drive site where various development samples will be published to highlight features and capabilities. Both the desktop and mobile versions of Internet Explorer 9 use the same core rendering engines and adhere to the concept of “same markup,” but the Microsoft team fel...

Microsoft gets FTC approval to buy Skype
Like UnlikeFiled in: Microsoft
The FTC on Friday said it had given approval to Microsoft's buyout of Skype. The clearance determined that the deal wouldn't create any significant anti-competitive issues. The filing didn't say whether other agencies had to close the deal, which Microsoft had only said would be approved by the end of 2011.
Many have raised alarms over the deal given that Microsoft would take ownership of the dominant Internet calling company. It could theoretically use the deal to cut off support for other platforms, particularly Android and the iPhone, or else give favorable treatment for Windows Phone and other core platforms. Microsoft has insisted it would support other platforms but has had a poor trac...

We just received word from a Samsung rep that there have been "shipping delays to some stores in certain regions." They went on to say, "We expect most retail locations to have inventory by tomorrow while supplies last." That's all we have at the moment, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

Kobo eReader Touch Edition goes on sale in the US and Canada
Like UnlikeFiled in: Ebook ReaderskoboeReader Touch Edition
At the moment, there are two very similar-looking e-readers with black-and-white Pearl E Ink touchscreens on the market, and now, the smaller and less expensive of the pair is up for grabs. The Kobo eReader Touch Edition went on sale today in the US and Canada for $129.99 (or $139.99 Canadian) at Best Buy, Borders, Walmart, and the Canadian bookseller Indigo. If you'll recall, the 6-inch Kobo is thinner, lighter, and more compact than the Nook Touch, even though its screen is the same size. It also undercuts it by $10 but it lacks the convenience of any physical buttons. Could these trade-offs be worth the trimmer design? We'll leave that to you and your wallet (and the guy who may or may no...

ChevronWP7 Labs will jailbreak your Windows Phone with Microsoft's approval
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7
Microsoft just earned itself a boatload of geek-cred and made Apple and Sony look pretty bad in the process. We knew the Windows Phone team was playing nice with the jailbreakers from ChevronWP7, but we didn't realize just how cozy the two were going to get. Today the devs announced that ChevronWP7 Labs would open up soon, with the approval of Redmond, allowing users to load homebrew apps on their handsets. Unlike tools from the iPhone Dev Team, this service won't be free. Instead, customers will have to cough up a small fee via PayPal -- but we're sure many of you are more than willing to pay a reasonable price to avoid the sort of cat and mouse game Apple has been playing with hackers sinc...
