Splash Duel HD is like a hybrid of Breakout and air hockey. In many ways it combines the best of both games and creates a very addicting experience. Just like Breakout you must bounce balls off of bricks with a paddle. Splash Duel HD is set in an underwater world, so expect a coral background and the steady sound of the deep as background noise.

It appears as tough we’re down to one final BlackBerry launch for 2010. For a while we thought we were getting two new devices before year’s end, the Style 9670 and the Storm 9570. It looks like we’ll only get one of them. While we heard last week that Verizon was canceling the 9670, we held out hope that another carrier would pick it up. Alas, it appears that isn’t in the cards.

Do you see something odd about this picture? Maybe the fact an LED is illuminating from a USB connector with no PC in site? Ya that’s it. Good job Sherlock . So what we have here is a How To or USB Hack on running an LED from a Super-capacitor. If you are non-technical, then we basically mean a very short lived battery to run the LED. A super-capacitor has the ability to store energy for longer periods of time over traditional capacitors – yet still not long enough as with batteries.The concept of this tutorial is to wire a super-capacitor to a USB socket whereby your computer can charge up the capacitor and when disconnected you’ll get about 10 minutes of LED illumination. Granted there isn’t much day-to-day use with this USB hack, but just a fun little project if you have the time. Over on the Instructables website there is an updated USB tutorial which includes (more…) Powered By: 2010 USB Powered Gadgets and more.

Not long after being sued by Microsoft , Motorola has announced that it’s suing Apple for the same old reason most companies in the mobile industry are suing each other: patent infringement. Motorola (actually its Motorola Mobility subsidiary) claims that the “ iPhone , iPad, iTouch and certain Mac computers” infringe a total of 18 patents. Said patents are related to various technologies, including WCDMA (aka 3G), GPRS, Wi-Fi 802.11, wireless email, location-based services, software application management, proximity sensing, and multi-device synchronization. Moto says that these technologies are fraudulently used by Apple in “many of its core products and associated services”, including the famous App Store and MobileMe.

I have a Bluetooth keyboard from Stowaway that works with my iPhone 3GS and it works beautifully for typing, but the kicker is having to re-pair it with my iPhone every time I open it up. I’m hoping this Jorno BT keyboard (due 2011 for about $79 if you pre-order) has a few more tricks up its sleeve, aside from its insanely compact form factor. If it can seamlessly pair with the iPhone after waking up (i.e

Google celebrated the two-year anniversary of its Chrome web browser this month by making some changes to it designed to encourage administrators to cast a more approving eye on the software. Generally, administrators are a tough lot when it comes to change. Their plates are usually full and it takes a compelling sell to persuade them to desert the status quo. If Microsoft has difficulties weaning many administrators from Internet Explorer 6, with its horrendous security record, to a safer version of the software, how does Google expect to induce administrators to bolt to an entirely new web browser? One way, it appears, is to give administrators greater control over how Chrome behaves

While I didn’t like Minority Report as a movie per se, it’s visions of the future and various human/computer interfaces still fascinate me. Most of them will require technologies way beyond of what is available today, but getting from here to there has to start somewhere. And quite a few companies are already working on the bits and pieces of Minority Report’ish tech in their R&D labs

Garmin’s new simpler GPS watch for running is the Garmin Forerunner 210 which is going to cost $300. Compared to the Garmin Forerunner 410 we just mentioned 210 lacks the ANT+ wireless technology for syncing to your computer and does not have the fancy bezel. However it is smaller and lighter and has an extra week of standby time. You’ve still got the high-sensitivity GPS receiver with Garmin’s HotFix technology, and the ability to set up heart rate alerts to notify you when you are above or below your targets. When you’re in training mode the battery should get you about 8 hours, and by then you really should be done with your first marathon

The tablet space (re)invented by Apple’s iPad is heating up. For months after the iPad’s release and great sales success we’ve heard that many competitors will start showing up sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. But while the Samsung Galaxy Tab was already unveiled and is expected to ship soon, RIM’s PlayBook and HP’s WebOS-powered PalmPad will only be available next year. The Chinese-language Commerical Times now reports that Acer is prepping a Windows 7 tablet to be launched before the end of this year. The Taiwanese computer maker is also said to launch Android 3.0 Gingerbread tablets in Q1 of next year.

Sometimes I come across an app that really stands out from the pack. Most of the time I’ll see an app and think that it’s either useful or not useful.

One of the beneficial features of Exchange server is the ability to create resource mailboxes.
