Having trouble getting your hands on that Nokia E72? Perhaps you favor a handset with a TV tuner? Zoho's KIRF E72 features the aforementioned tuner, dual sim, QWERTY keypad, WiFi, JAVA, FM tuner, and both rear and front-facing 1.3MP cameras. Rest assured, the UI looks nothing like what you'd get with from Finland. But did we mention that you could watch TV on the thing? Video after the break.Keepin' it real fake, part CCXLIV: Zoho's E72 is made in China, has Finland doing a double-take originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:17:00 EST.

Testing Zoundry Raven, a desktop blogging client. Using an image by Emma Vieceli to do so. You can find the print for sale here. Post2Blog never did drag and drop very well. I’d like a desktop client that was as smooth and easy as Tumblweed for Tumblr, to be honest, but there doesn’t seem to be one that clever and slick for Wordpress.
If the bumf is to believed, then swiping this image of Emma doing a bookstore PA should just paste in here:
(Sorry, Em, I’m using you as an experimental animal, but I had to google the link for your print shop and this was right underneath in the search results.)
Tumblweed is a clever app because it matches the intent of Tumblr: fast, easy scrapbooking for the internet. Wordpress clients tend to match the intent of Wordpress, as a place to write long blogposts. No matter how the theme of your Wordpress site actually changes that supposed intent. This site has gone through its tumblelog phases, but it’s hard to tumblelog in a big complex client, and bookmarklet apps don’t seem to work so well any more.
Anyway. Let’s see if this actually works.
EDIT: the Flickr image broke within moments, and on a subsequent post with four images in, it only posted one of them. Windows Live Writer, which has also been suggested to me, is currently refusing to post any entry containing an image, using any of three different methods.

- November 28th, 11:22
According to a press release dated this morning, Archos is making proof-of-concept "developer edition" firmware available for its ARCHOS 5 and ARCHOS 7 Internet Media Tablets. Based on the Angstrom Linux distribution, this is by no means a commercial distro (no multimedia software) but since you're taking it upon yourself to code the next great multimedia / social networking / productivity / time travel app anyways, you don't really want to be bogged down by such pedestrian fare. According to the PR, the company "eagerly anticipates seeing its hardware platform used as a foundation for creating exciting new usage models and applications that the developer community brings." And so do we! Read all about it after the break.Continue reading Archos releases developer edition firmware for Internet Tablets

- Movies, romance and the best on-screen wedding vows ever

As Senior Management would be the first to tell you, I’m a hopeless romantic. I’ve seen The Shop Around the Corner (with James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan) more times than a manly man would admit to, and though I feign indifference, I get choked up every time I see the last five minutes of Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember.
That said, neither compares to the brilliance that, in my opinion at least, is the best on-screen wedding scene ever!
</div>
At first glance Ming and Dale (Max von Sydow and Melody Anderson) may not look like the perfect match, but there's no denying the chemistry - even if it is 3 parts contempt to 9 parts loathing.
How about you?
What’s your favorite romantical movie moment?

There are many people out there who are under the false assumption that our cowboys here in Texas like to fornicate with sheep. This notion annoys us greatly. Not only is it politically incorrect, it's inaccurate.
As residents of the second largest state in the union, Texans think big and live large. Lonely cowboys are no exception. It's not sheep, it's cattle! Please people, get your facts straight.
- QiGi's Smartbook is more like a WinMo 6.5-powered MID

We're going on the assumption here that the lads and ladies over at QiGi haven't actually heard that "smartbooks" have a vaguely defined look and feel, as the outfit's latest handheld definitely looks nothing like the smartbooks that we've seen emerge over the past few months. In fact, the Windows Mobile 6.5-equipped device looks more like a MID than anything else, boasting a 5-inch 800 x 480 display, only a few face-mounted buttons and 1GB of memory. Hit the read link if you're interested in a poorly translated review, and good luck finding one of these in the open market (at least with an English-language operating system).

Yesterday we made it through 4 stores worth of shopping before noon. Then promptly needed sustanance and sleep.
After the nap we went back out shopping yesterday. The final result yesterday was... 6 1/2 hours of shopping. Which means we finished the last of the list of people we still had to get gifts for. And helped my father pick out gifts for ourselves.
Gift List Win... Human Survival Rate - Epic Fail.
I want to sleep until after the new year!
- Spin polarization achieved at room temperature, elusive miracles now less elusive

Spintronics -- much like Cook-Out milkshakes and cotton candy for all -- seems like a pipe dream at this point. We've been beaten over the head with theoretical miracles, but we're getting to the point where it's put up or shut up. Thankfully, a team of Dutch boffins are clearly in the same camp, and they've been toiling around the clock in order to achieve spin polarization in non-magnetic semiconductors at ambient temperature. The amazing part here is that "temperature" bit; up until this discovery, spin polarization was only possible at levels of around 150 K, or at temperatures far, far cooler than even your unheated basement. If spintronics could effectively be enacted at room temperature, all those unicorn-approved phenomena we mentioned earlier would have a much greater chance of sliding into the realm of reality. Here's hoping they get this stuff ironed out prior to 2012.Spin polarization achieved at room temperature, elusive miracles now less elusive originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:47:00 EST.
