Tethering has always been great for the consumers and bad for the companies – ostensibly because it overloads the bandwidth but really because most tethering has been done under the radar by hax0rs and it essentially circumvents the limitation of bandwidth providers put on there in the first place. Well, Sprint is officially outlawing it on their Android phones and, as we know, once it’s outlawed, only outlaws will tether. Not quite sure how they’ll control it but clearly they’ll be watching throughput to confirm you’re not stealing bits

Waking up and receiving good news doesn’t happen often enough, so when I opened my crusty teared eyes at 10 in the morning (Helsinki time) and got this press release in the mail , I hit the roof. Opera, the Norwegian company we all love, makers of the Opera desktop browser, Opera Mobile for Windows Mobile, and Opera Mini, one of my favorite mobile applications of all time, has released Opera Mobile 10 Beta for Symbian . At this point you’re expect a full on review/preview of the application, but I would be wasting my breathe trying to say something genuinely new

Tim from the Electronic Frontier Foundation sez, “Digital Video Recorders, once considered a mortal threat by the entertainment industry, have now become its new best friend. It’s just the latest example of how the industry’s constant warnings of the dangers of “piracy” frequently turn out to be baseless hysteria…” A mystified NBC President Of Research called the situation “completely counterintuitive.” But the reason behind the revenue isn’t counterintuitive at all — it’s obvious: When consumers are granted the ability to watch television whenever and however they want, they watch more TV — not less. That’s a simple result which could only be “counterintuitive” to an industry that all too frequently treats its own best customers like criminals. It’s a cycle that by now has become sadly familiar: When the industry meets a new technology, it panics and fights it tooth-and-nail. Eventually, the industry loses this fight, often squashing innovation or arbitrarily singling out a few citizens for punishment along the way

After launching its Symbian based Omnia HD in India , Samsung has launched the Omnia II in India. Though it is called Omnia II-GT I8000 it is the little brother of Omnia HD in terms of specs and also the price. Omnia HD is priced at INR 32K where as Omnia II is priced around INR 28K in India. Latest technology and easy to use messaging platform are two things, which Samsung Omnia II boasts of. Unlike Omnia HD, its runs Windows Mobile 6.1, which can be a turn-off for people who do not like WinMo as an Operating System.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion today unveiled the Storm 2, a new version of its touch screen Storm smartphone, marking its latest move in the battle with Apple’s iPhone. The Waterloo, Ontario-based company said the Storm 2 retains the original Storm’s clickable touch screen interface, but improves upon it with faster typing and “multi-touch” capabilities, which allows users to type on more than just one part of the screen at a time. The Storm, RIM’s first phone without a physical keyboard, was met with limited success when it launched late last year. Many users complained about its odd typing mechanism — where the whole screen moved with each tap on the virtual keyboard — and claimed that they had to press too hard on the touch screen. RIM said the new Storm 2 solves that problem with its new SurePress technology — promising that clicking the display will be “effortless” and that device will even know if a finger is “resting” on the keypad or typing

There are many areas of Outlook that are potential problems for administrators. Once such area is the sending and receiving of digitally signed messages. Digitally signing email messages is a form of protection that can be used to prevent identity fraud and the abuse of email messages sent to and from Outlook. Outlook allows email messages to be sent with cryptographic features such as S/MIME digital signatures and encryption. Such messages can utilize “public key/private key” encryption technology to make private their email messages so that only recipients who possess a public key are able to view the encrypted email message
