The Bipartisan Policy Center has announced some details on event coming up called the Cyber Shockwave. When you think about how vulnerable our countries are when it comes to technology, it puts it in a different light. So why should we be concerned and what’s a Cyber Shockwave? Over a decade we’ve seen stories as an example.

I’ve never really understood the fascination some folks seem to have with making their one mobile device look very much like a completely different one – making a Windows Mobile phone look like an iPhone, or an iPhone look like a Blackberry or a Windows machine, and so on. So even though I’m already quite the iPad fanboy, I’ve got no interest in turning my iPhone into a mini iPad mockup. For those who do appreciate making these sort of transformations, good news – there are already several iPad themes out for the iPhone (if you’re jailbroken of course and running Winterboard). Engadget’s got a post up with a video that shows you how to combine an iPad theme with the Shrink app to reduce your icon size and other effects to bring the iPad UI to your iPhone. Check it out here if you fancy a bit of the iPad touch on your iPhone: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/30/ipad-ui-gets-ported-to-the-iphone-and-ipod-touch/ © PatrickJ for Just Another iPhone Blog , 2010.

Section: Gadgets / Other , ebooks The whole mess with Macmillan and Amazon seems likely to spread to others at this point, which ultimately sounds like it will be bad news for Kindle customers in the long run. Just to recap, Macmillan was upset because of the $9.99 pricing with Amazon, Amazon pulled their content , Amazon then later allowed them back in at the prices they wanted . Now it seems that others are taking note of this and sensing some weakness in the whole $9.99 Amazon pricing deal. The latest is Rupert Murdoch and his Harper Collins and he has recently stated that he sees Amazon is now “willing to sit down” and “renegotiate.” The important part here is nothing has changed, but that seems to come with a big ‘yet’ at the end because Murdoch also went on to state that the Apple deal “does allow some flexibility and higher prices.” On a slightly positive note, he did continue on to say that the ebook pricing will remain lower than print editions

If you’re the figurehead for a company then you have to be pretty confident about your products, but even with that in mind ARM chief executive Warren East is aiming high . The outspoken CEO reckons ARM processors will take a big chunk out of the netbook market, a market which he predicts will eventually come to represent 90-percent of the PC industry. In fact the one thing holding ARM chips back, East reckons, is the lack of Windows support for them. “What’s holding it back is people’s love of the Microsoft operating system and that fact that it’s familiar and so on. But actually the trajectory of progress in the Linux world is very, very impressive.

Nikon’s Coolpix S1000pj camera/pico projector combo hasn’t exactly taken the world by storm, but we’re guessing it took a little while before Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups became a global phenomenon, too. If reports from DigiTimes prove to be true, Sony wants to be front and center to meet the eventual demand for such cameras, working with Opus Microsystems to license its laser-based scanning mirror chips, projector tech that sounds similar to Microvision’s Show WX . Word is that other camera manufacturers are working with Texas Instruments for the development of their own pico-packing cams, relying on TI’s DLP-based tech found in the S1000pj and a variety of other devices . Which will rule the roost?
