The Joule Stand sets a new standard for iPad accessories

The Joule Stand sets a new standard for iPad accessories

One look at this iPad stand and you’ll get the feel of ‘class’ and ‘luxury’ with it. Mixing technology luxury with aluminium-ware glory, the joule stand is made of solid aluminium bricks, like the unibody iPad and MacBooks. Customers have a choice of chrome or anodized black finishes. It has a magnetically-attached tilt foot to easily change the viewing angle, rubber pads for grip, and a velvet-lined recess to avoid the iPad from being scratched. But of course, the price of $129 is somewhat ‘justified’ for the unibody aluminium build.

Motorola is accusing rival Huawei Technologies of conspiring with former
employees to steal trade secrets. Their statement claims that a former staff engineer shared data regarding a new transceiver (among other Motorola tech) with the founder of Huawei. Documents detailing Motorola product specs and labelled as “confidential” were recovered in e-mail posts from the engineer’s personal computer.

RIP Nexus One

RIP Nexus One

Wow, the Nexus One sure sold out fast. Less than a week that the last shipment arrived at Google, and now, they’re all sold. After getting word that Google received its last Nexus One shipment, the Nexus One is now officially sold out at google.com/phone.

This means that you can’t officially get the Nexus One from Google anymore. The only way would be from backchannels like eBay. RIP Nexus One. You’ve given a great show in your lifetime.

Free Windows Phone 7 for you, IF you are from Microsoft

July 22nd, 2010

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit

Previously Apple and Google have given their employees phones from their company, and it seemed that Microsoft will be following their footsteps. Well at least those Microsoft employees using iPhone will have a new phone that they can actually ‘use’ when working. But then, that’s a lot of Windows Phone 7 to be given out. Time to grab a post in Microsoft perhaps? By the way, this leaves only Palm the odd one out, which didn’t give their employees any free phones. Perhaps HP would consider this.


With all the buzz, a lot of you are asking how you can get your hands on a phone and get more involved. So, I am thrilled to announce that a new Windows Phone 7 will be made available to every Microsoft employee as we launch in each market around the world. The process will vary based on your market, your carrier, and your launch date so stay tuned for more information closer to launch.

Virtual wall that moves with the wind

There are so many artists out there in this world, and many of them failed badly, unless their art totally doesn’t mean anything, and makes people ponder. That’s when their art sells well. Now what’s cool about art is when you inject some technology into the art. A good example would be this upcoming Kinetic Wall, by Ned Kahn for the Brisbane Airport, in collaboration with Urban Art Projects.
