BlackBerry Balance announced, gives your phone a split personality

You might recall that VMware has teamed up with LG to separate the “work” and “life” environments on your Android phone into two distinct, secure platforms, which has some pretty obvious benefits — as more people want smartphones in their personal lives, IT departments can still manage the content on their work phones without necessitating two separate devices. Seriously, who wants to carry around two phones? (Don’t answer that.) Anyhow, RIM’s getting into the game with today’s announcement of BlackBerry Balance at an enterprise-focused event in Boston, a tool that’ll allow the computer nerds in your office to manage, wipe, and encrypt the work-related content on your BlackBerry while leaving your personal content unscathed. Of course, not everyone wants a BlackBerry as their personal smartphone — but for those that do, this should make you feel a little more confident that the IT dude isn’t going to spontaneously delete your mom’s contact record. No word on availability just yet.

This article was written on March 20, 2006 by CyberNet.

Microsoft Updates Internet Explorer 7 Today

Microsoft just a short while ago updated Internet Explorer 7 and it is titled “Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview”. The build number is 5335 and the most recent build available until now was 5299. I am sure there are just a bunch of minor fixes in this build and it weighs in at 11.2MB! Jump over and get it if you are an Internet Explorer fan otherwise you can hang out and wait for the official release of Firefox 2 Alpha 1 tomorrow.

Also, if you already have IE7 installed then you will be forced to uninstall it before you can install this version. If you go to the Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel to uninstall it then make sure you to check the box that says “Show Updates” otherwise you will never see the IE7 option to uninstall.

For those people not running a genuine copy of Windows then you might be able to use these instructions to install this build. I did not test it with those instructions so once someone has tested it then please post here letting us know if it works.

BlackBerry Curve ‘Apollo’ leak provides image, details, no relationship status

“Lower-mid end of the lineup… decent specs… aggressively priced.” Not exactly the descriptors which dreams are made of, but that’s the wording BGR is using to describe its other leaked BlackBerry device today (Dakota being the other). A 480 x 360 resolution screen of unknown size, 800MGhz Tavor MG-1 CPU, 512MB RAM, a 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, 1050 mAh battery, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, NFC, GPS, and BlackBerry OS 6.1 to put everything in check. It all serves quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE and tri-band UMTS / HSPA 7.2Mbps. The keyboard, we’d assume, is pretty darn snappy. The price and release date, should this apparent leak come to fruition, is still unknown.

Wikipedia celebrates 10th anniversary, co-founder Jimmy Wales opines on app stores

Did you know that Wikipedia is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week? It is, on January 15th! It’s hard to believe that the ‘edited by the everyman’ encyclopedia has been around that long… or maybe we’re just getting old. Either way, co-founder of the site (and man of many personal appeals) Jimmy Wales took the opportunity to answer some questions about the past, present and future of Wikipedia, and, when asked about the growing prevalence of mobile apps and app stores, well, Wales had plenty to say, including that models such as the iTunes app store can represent a dangerous “chokepoint” and that they could be “a threat to a diverse and open ecosystem.” He also added that mobile devices are owned by people, and those people should control their own devices. We can see where Jimmy’s coming from in some ways — apps are a wholly new, untested way of ingesting content, but we have a hard time swallowing wholesale that the app store model could threaten internet freedom more than an issue such as net neutrality. But you know, if you ask us nicely, Jimmy, we might just take your word for it. Hit up the ‘more coverage’ link to check out a video of Jimmy Wales waxing philosophical about the birthday celebration.

Expandable Canteen Makes Carrying Water Easy, Stylish

Pumpkin canteen.jpg

We’re always looking at cool new ways to carry around water here at Gearlog, and this design by Mathieu Lehanneur might just be the coolest yet. It’s an expandable canteen inspired by human cells.

The canteen is designed sort of like side bag, with a hard top that can hold items and features a shoulder strap. The interesting part, though, is the expandable tube at the bottom, which can hold up to 1.5 liters of water. But for people travelling who need to carry more than that, the tubes can be joined together to create easy-to-carry water tubes that can hold between four and eight liters. The canteen, which has been dubbed the Pumpkin concept, has actually already been sold and distributed through much of the third-world.

Pioneer engineers Android-powered cyclocomputer, might remind Landis to stop doping

Think Android has reached its limit when it comes to applications? Think again. Pioneer has conjured up a new cyclocomputer, and compared to the antediluvian rivals available on the market today, this one looks like a bona fide supercomputer. It’s designed for mounting on the bike’s handlebars, where riders can then see speed, cadence, heart rate, and power at a glance. The device is engineered to play nice with the ANT+ wireless specification, and it can also pull data from optional crank sensors that can be installed to monitor one’s pedaling force. Furthermore, it’s equipped with GPS, and we’re guessing it’s a prime candidate for running Google’s own My Tracks app. There’s no time table for release, but we’re guessing the International Cycling Union will have one out in no time… one that continuously tests riders for illicit substances, of course. Video’s after the break, if you’re down for more.

Tagging Penguins Leads To Shorter Life, Fewer Chicks

Emperor Penguin.jpg

Scientists have long used a simple technique to follow the lives of specific penguins: placing a band around their flipper, thus making them easy to spot. But it turns out those simple bands actual harm the birds, reducing their lifespan and even diminishing the number of offspring they produce.

A study took place over ten years, and looked at a group of 100 King penguins — half of which had a flipper band, half of which had been outfitted with an implanted transponder. After a decade, 18 of the transponder penguins were still alive, while just 10 of the banded penguins survived. The penguins with the bands also arrived to breeding grounds much later and took longer to find food, thus leading to a reduced number of chicks.

The reason for the issues is most likely that the bands cause drag, reducing the penguins swimming abilities. They also make the birds more visible to predators.

“I would say no [it is not ethical],” French researcher Claire Saraux told the BBC. “The exception would be using them only on land, and that probably won’t be a problem so long as you take them off the birds before they go to sea – and that could still be useful, because I can tell you that when you go into a colony of 50,000 penguins to find yours, it’s not easy.”
