We just spent some serious, and we mean serious time with Xbox Live for Windows Phone 7 . Just like your Xbox, this is sort of an amalgamation of “the place you go to play games” and “the place you go to ping and taunt your friends who also play games.” Unfortunately, it seems there’s a bit of a disconnect between phone-based scores and records and Xbox achievements — they all add up to the same gamerscore, but you can’t easily pull up your most recent Halo exploits to show off on your mobile, for instance.

If Telus will be getting their hands on the HTC 7 Surround, Rogers , for their part, will be releasing the Samsung Focus as their first Windows Phone 7 offering. The Samsung Focus sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with flash, and runs on a 1GHz processor with 8GB of internal memory expandable via microSD card. It’ll also come with a “ completely redesign user interface (IO) as well as applications such as Music Hub, People Hub, Office Hub and the ability to play games with Xbox LIVE. ” This one certainly looks like a worthy alternative and a good match-up to the HTC HD7 .

Claiming that Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a new offering from the esteemed Irish beer brand is technically inaccurate. The reality is it was brewed for more than two centuries and dates back to 1801. Back then it was known as West India Porter until the mid 19th century, distinguished by its more intense flavor by being brewed with extra hops. This excess of hops also helped preserve the beer longer, giving sailors something to drink no matter how long the trip. It was even available in the states from 1817-1920… that is until Prohibition struck.

Apple’s iPhone is one of the most popular smartphones on the market. Outside of the United States, many wireless carriers feature support for the mobile phone. However, when it comes to the United States the iPhone is offered by just AT&T. This has angered many because AT&T has been known to have shoddy service in various parts of the country. Luckily, rumors have been circulating for quite some time that say AT&T will eventually bring the device to Verizon Wireless .

Remember when Apple’s iPhone didn’t have cut and paste? Well, it looks like Windows Phone 7 is taking a page from that playbook. Apparently, the company is planning on not having that feature on the first round of WP7. I believe the official date is November 8 , but cut and paste isn’t coming until “early 2011″. Will that affect the sales?

And surprisingly enough, it is pretty good! Of course, it is also only 15 minutes long! When you think about it, the core story of airplane is a classic – literally! The production team bought the rights to the 50′s drama Zero Hour!, which allowed them to use anything they wanted from the script. Check this summary out: Ted Stryker is an ex-World War II squadron leader and fighter pilot who, 10 years after the end of the war, is still haunted by a decision he made that resulted in the death of several of his men. He’s been unable to keep a job and when he gets home one day, he finds a note from his wife saying she and their young son Joey are leaving him and flying to Vancouver. He manages to get on board the aircraft before it leaves but when the pilot and co-pilot – along with many passengers, including his son Joey – fall severely ill due to food poisoning, Stryker is the only man on-board with any flying experience, though not in multi-engine aircraft. He has to overcome his fears if he is to save the life of his loved ones and the rest of the passengers and crew

According to Apple, the first documented use of its catchphrase, “There’s an app for that,” was on Jan. 26, 2009 – even though it feels like that tagline has been around for much longer. Now, thanks to a recently-granted trademark , Apple owns the phrase. The application for trademark was filed last December, and covers “Retail store services featuring computer software provided via the Internet and other computer and electronic communication networks; retail store services featuring computer software for use on handheld mobile digital electronic devices and other consumer electronics.” What the heck does this mean?

By George Hart for the Museum of Mathematics If you take a long strip of paper, tie a simple overhand knot in it, tighten it up, and press it flat, the result is a regular pentagon. That construction is well known, and can be found, for example, in Martin Gardner’s Second Book of Mathematical Puzzles and Diversions , where it is also pointed out that if you add one more fold and hold the paper up to the light, a pentagram shows through.

We’ve already seen some of Nemoptic’s so-called Binem displays on their own, but the company’s just made things considerably more interesting by combing the low-power, black-and-white display with a full color OLED. That would function as a dual-mode display (a la Pixel Qi ), giving you the ability to use the reflective Binem component when you’re outdoors or just looking to save power, and switch to the OLED as needed. What’s more, the Binem display can actually retain an image even when the power is off, which could let you spruce up your e-reader with a favorite image as a persistent wallpaper, for instance.
