Ever since Apple rejected Google Voice from the App Store, Google, as well as Voice users have been steaming. Sure, you can place a call or send a text via the Google Voice website, but in mobile Safari is not exactly the iPhone experience that users are accustomed to. Google Voice’s website does not allow for a seamless and easy to use experience via a mobile browser

A social application site called RockYou suffered an attack that resulted in 32 million usernames and passwords being exposed. And to make a serious problem even worse, the company, which TechCrunch says “has a history of stupidity”, didn’t inform its users until ten days after the fact. Techcrunch reported on the issue, and RockYou’s statement to the IT blog noted that “On December 4, RockYou’s IT team was alerted that the user database on RockYou.com had been compromised, potentially revealing some personal identification data for approximately 30M registered users on RockYou.com.

Like any other sub-30 geek, I’ve had my fun with the Duke Nukem series. From its humble side-scrolling platformer beginnings, up until Duke Nukem 3D, the franchise made sure I never considered Bruce Campbell the originator of “come get some” until much later. I missed out on Duke Nukem Forever’s announcement however, with the legendary game-that-never-was only entering my consciousness once it became fashionable to mock it’s eternally-delayed production. Do phrases like “Duke Nukem Never” ring a bill? And now, months after DNF’s development was officially halted, a meticulously researched article on Wired chronicles the game’s lengthy development process—and the reasons behind it: [Duke Nukem co-creator George] Broussard simply couldn’t tolerate the idea of Duke Nukem Forever coming out with anything other than the latest and greatest technology and awe-inspiring gameplay

Today, SIG (The Bluetooth Special Interest Group) announced the adoption of Bluetooth® low energy wireless technology, which is the hallmark feature of the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 4.0. As an enhancement to the specification, Bluetooth low energy technology opens entirely new markets for devices requiring low cost and low power wireless connectivity with this evolution in Bluetooth wireless technology that will enable a plethora of new applications – some not even possible or imagined today. Many markets such as healthcare, sports and fitness, security, and home entertainment will be enhanced with the availability of small coin-cell battery powered wireless products and sensors now enabled by Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth low energy wireless technology, the hallmark feature of the v4.0 Bluetooth Core Specification, features: * Ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption * Ability to run for years on standard coin-cell batteries * Low cost * Multi-vendor interoperability * Enhanced range This enhancement to the Bluetooth Core Specification allows two types of implementation, dual-mode and single-mode. In a dual-mode implementation, Bluetooth low energy functionality is integrated into an existing Classic Bluetooth controller.

From Russia with love: additional images of the Motorola Sholes Tablet XT701 emerge Straight out of Russia are some new images of the Motorola XT701. These renderings are reportedly from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, China’s version of the FCC. Also, the device has reportedly received certification and is expected to arrive in China and possibly Russia in early 2010. The handset will reportedly ship with Android 2.1 and will include an HDMI port, 720P video recording/playback and an FM radio. Once again we see the curious bump on the side of the handset and and a prominent camera with Xenon flash.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 catches FCC on a good day Oh, to live the life of an FCC certification lab employee: setting up test benches, writing reports, playing with devices that won’t be released for months or years. Instead, we’re stuck enjoying their fun vicariously at an arm’s length through a little portal we know as the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology, where gems like the X10 occasionally pop up complete with pretty in-the-wild pictures, teardowns, and user manuals. What we’re looking at here are test results for EDGE 850 / 1900 plus WCDMA Band IV (that’d be T-Mobile’s and WIND’s spectrum, by the bye), WiFi, and Bluetooth, so even if T-Mobile ultimately chooses not to offer it on contract, you should be able to score it one way or another N900 -style. The user’s manual is basically just 40 pages of good stuff plus a bunch of conformity statement mumbo jumbo, but it’s still a good read — so if you think this might be your phone of choice come 2010, have a look.

The governing body of the Bluetooth specification has released the 4.0 guidelines in what promises to be a more widely adopted version of Bluetooth. Bluetooth 3.0 is not reaching wide adoption yet due to a number of factors, mostly economic. More speed requires more power and more battery power. Battery technology has not kept up with bandwidth. Bluetooth 4.0 promises to do more with less which may stimulate device manufacturers and starved R&D groups to employ it in their existing applications

It looks a bit like a bottle opener but might actually be more useful (for some). The Lockface USB Key comes preloaded with encryption technology and a handy little piece of security software . Once you plug in this drive, the Lockface software takes over your webcam and uses your face to allow access to the data stored on your Lockface drive. The software only takes a few minutes to setup and stores the facial data on the drive so that it can be reused on other computers. In addition, the login information won’t be discoverable on your PC while you’re away

As Android, iPhone , and BlackBerry are trying to dominate the Smartphone market, the software giant, Microsoft, decided to push back the release date of Windows Mobile 7, the so called Microsoft’s answer to iPhone touch screen technology. It has been almost 3 years since Apple first released iPhone back in 2007, and Microsoft still can’t make a multi-touch Mobile OS until now! This is just a big shame for Microsoft.

There seems to be a constant debate as to when the so-called “year of mobile” will come about, or when mobile marketing and advertising will finally make the breakthrough to the masses. One mobile ad network in particular thinks the year of mobile has already come and gone in 2009, and is already looking ahead to its top 10 mobile predictions for 2010. Millennial Media, who operates one of the largest mobile advertising networks in the US, looked at advertiser and industry data, surveys, device and technology trends, observations of consumer behaviors and campaign analysis pulled from its network over the past year to pick out what it sees as the top 10 mobile predictions for the coming year.
