| RIM Canadian Mobile - Bing as its search engine Posted: 04 May 2011 02:49 AM PDT
The firm has had quite a busy few days. It has announced two new Bold handsets, a video chat application for its Playbook tablet and a Facebook application, and now it has chosen to top off its celebrations by announcing even closer ties to Microsoft. The firm apparently sees this cosy relationship as a way to beat off competition from Apple and Google's Android, and welcomed shy and retiring Steve Ballmer to one of its stages to make the announcement. On he bounded, according to Reuters, and announced that Bing will "deeply integrated at the Blackberry operating system level". The news was confirmed on a blog post by Bing director Matt Dahlin. "Central to this collaboration, Blackberry devices will use Bing as the preferred search provider in the browser, and Bing will be the default search and map application for new devices presented to mobile operators, both in the United States and internationally", he said. "Also, effective today Bing will be the preferred search and maps applications with regular, featured placement and promotion in the BlackBerry App World carousel." How users will react to this is as yet unknown. RIM already had suitable differentiation with its Blackberry devices, including the simple fact that they are made by neither Apple nor Microsoft.  |
| Windows 8 leaks Revealed - App-store Details Posted: 04 May 2011 02:48 AM PDT
The latest batch of rumors regarding a Windows app store has cropped up.  The alleged logo for Microsoft's upcoming app store (Credit: Geek.com) WinRumors reports that the new shop is likely to be dubbed the Windows Store--not the Windows App Store. It apparently will offer consumers a variety of free and paid apps for PCs that they can download much in the same way that Apple users can download apps from the Mac App Store. Its release is tied to that of Windows 8, the next version of the Windows operating system. The store will also allegedly kick off with a new logo that, like much of Windows 8, borrows some of its look and feel from Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Metro UI. The new store will most likely be based on HTML5 and will send apps to PCs from Microsoft's cloud-based Azure service, according to Windows enthusiast site MSWin (Google Translate version), which apparently peeked under the hood of the recent Windows 8 Milestone 3 Build. The site also found subtle entries pointing to a Windows Store deep within the bowels of the Windows Registry. Tags: windows 8 leaks, windows 8 demo, windows 8 video, windows 8 guide  |

| Hot and Sexy Katrina Kaif Turns a siren for Vogue Magazine India Posted: 04 May 2011 02:27 AM PDT
The damsel who is the new face of Barbie dolls is seen posing like a subtle seductress on the cover of the May issue of Vogue India magazine. Katrina Kaif hots up the summer with her femme fatale makeover.  The lady flaunts her slimmer figure in the black Bordelle bodice wrap corset, black shorts with thigh suspenders and a translucent, gauzy skirt. The magazine is the special makeover issue and quite rightly highlights Katrina's transition from a cutesy girl to a siren. Her tousled hair and an arm akimbo lend an extra verve to the cover. Talking about Katrina's reinvention, Anaita Shroff Adajania, Fashion Director of Vogue India, said: "Katrina best exemplifies the makeover theme. The idea for the shoot was to bring out the rawness to her sensuality. It's a side of her that has been unseen. At the shoot, she willingly experimented and transformed into a sultry siren. We love this side of her and we love her reinvention!"  |
