Last week, we took a look at FileTwt , a file-sharing service for Twitter. After publishing that post, we heard from Bob Brinker, founder of TwitDoc , another Twitter file-sharing app.

Look, LED light bulbs are fanciful, great for Ma Earth and a fine addition to any home, barber shop or underground fight club. But let’s be honest — even the guy that bikes through blizzards to get to work and wears garb that he grew in his basement isn’t apt to shell out $120 a pop to have what’s likely the most efficient light bulb American dollars can buy. Enter Chunlei Guo from the University of Rochester, who has helped discover a process which could morph a traditional incandescent light bulb into a beacon of burning light without using nearly as much energy as before

The expressive power of the Web is largely made possible by open standards. HTML, the vendor-neutral markup language that serves as the underlying foundation of the open Web, helped to foster the culture of interoperability and inclusiveness that have made the Internet a success. HTML 5, the next iteration of that standard, could bring the same degree of empowerment and interoperability to rich media and other kinds of Web content

We know the Mini 1101 is the more business-centric of the new HP netbooks , but unless the company has a sudden change of heart, it looks like you’ll be getting the base configuration or nothing at all. Starting today, HP is enabling eager consumers to purchase one of the $329 machines, but the only “customization” options are external accessories and peripherals

We always heard that where there is a will, there is a way. Said mantra has never been more exemplified than in the video past the break, as someone halfway across this great planet has seemingly procured what could be the very first shipping N97 .

Filed under: Humor , OS , Odds and ends Being the Disney- Pixar fanatics that we are, my wife and I went to see Up Saturday night (in Disney Digital 3D, of course) at our local theater. Remembering the appearance of the Mac startup sound as Wall-E ’s waking noise in last year’s Pixar epic, and the brief shot of an Apple-themed racer in Cars , I decided to look for Apple-themed Easter eggs in the movie. By the time we were at the end of the film, I was beginning to think that there weren’t going to be any love letters to Apple in Up

My, my Olidata — why on Earth have you been depriving our wandering eyes from this beauty for so long? After being originally introduced at CES, we’ve heard precisely nothing since..

Solar-powered LCDs? Oh, yeah — we’ve got those

Truth be told, SSD prices have been declining at a noticeable tick since way back in 2007 , but the reality is that the average consumer still can’t afford one — or, at least they aren’t willing to pay the lofty premium for the decent increase in speed. If a bold claim from JMicron is to be believed, all that could change in the run-up to CES 2010. A new report has it that the aforesaid company will be demonstrating its new NAND flash controller next week at Computex, with the JMF612 aimed specifically at a “new generation of NAND flash chips built using smaller process geometries that will be entering the market soon.” If all goes well, the cheap single-chip controller could lead to SSD prices falling by around 50 percent by Christmas, but after years of waiting for these things to really get priced for Joe Sixpack and his gaggle of siblings, we’re still cautiously skeptical

DuPont’s been dabbling in OLED advancement for years now, and while the world waits for the introduction of market-ready big-screen OLED HDTVs , engineers at the miracle-working company are toiling away to make sure those very sets last quite some time. For anyone following the OLED TV scene, you’ll know that luminance longevity has been a nagging issue , but if new developments pan out, stamina will be the least of our worries.
