‘Leaked’ BlackBerry 10 info shows video chat and screen sharing in BBM, new task manager

'Leaked' BlackBerry 10 info shows video chat and screen sharing in BBM, new task manager

Top dog at RIM Thorsten Heins heavily implied that video chat would be added to BBM when BlackBerry 10 showed up, and now possible confirmation of the feature has come from what are thought to be leaked presentation slides. Originating on CrackBerry’s forums, the images have been taken down on various sites, leading us to believe they’re legit and that strongly worded requests have led to their removal. Not only do they suggest BBM video chat is coming to BB10, but also the ability to screen share during these video calls. Another slide details a new task manager for the OS called “BlackBerry Remember,” which can sync with Outlook and — based on its description and what was uncovered in the gold SDK — may include Evernote integration. We’ve contacted RIM for comment and will update you with any response, but until then, take a look at the slide above and the pair hidden after the break to assess for yourself whether they’re the real deal.

Update: Here’s RIM’s statement, which doesn’t really come as much of a surprise:

“We understand that there is a lot of excitement for BlackBerry 10. We will launch the platform on January 30th and until then we won’t comment on speculation.”

Fiscal Cliff Tax Hikes Are Not The Only Scary Thing That Could Happen To You On January 1

President Obama returned to Washington to resume “fiscal cliff” talks on Thursday, after cutting short his holiday in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the likelihood of the president and Congress reaching a deal by the Dec. 31 deadline appears slim, as Democrats and Republicans have been unable to reach a compromise. The fiscal cliff refers to a series of expiring tax breaks, new taxes and spending cuts that will all take effect starting Jan. 1 unless an alternate deal is reached.

Here are 10 ways your money could be affected if there is no deal reached by the end of the year:

  1. Your Income Tax Rates Will Go Up The expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts on Dec. 31 means nearly every American taxpayer will see their rates go up when the rates go back to their 2001 levels. President Obama’s plan to avert the cliff includes keeping the current rates for middle- and low-income earners, while allowing the rates to increase for the highest income levels from 35 to 39.6 percent. Republicans have pushed to keep the tax cuts for everyone.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Apple Inc. likely will have to pay a Brazilian company for the right to use the iPhone brand in Latin America’s biggest country, a Brazilian telecommunications analyst said Thursday.

Walking Dead Game Free On Xbox 360 For A While

walking dead xbox  Walking Dead Game Free On Xbox 360 For A WhileTellTale Games have more or less confirmed this piece of information over Twitter, letting the whole world know that The Walking Dead – Episode 1: A New Day will be made available on the Xbox 360 for free, although this will be a limited time offer. Basically, this window of opportunity will be open until January 31st, 2013. I am quite sure that this will be just like the TV series itself, where watching a single episode is never going to be enough, so playing the first episode for free is more or less going to guarantee that you will fork out 400 Microsoft Points for the other four episodes after that.

Apart from the Xbox 360, TellTale Games is also said to offer the first episode of its survival horror adventure game to iPhone and iPad users for free. Having part of the Game of the Year 2012 according to Digital Spy for free does seem as though the spirit of Christmas is still lingering around, doesn’t it? A quick show of hands here, how many of you intend to give the first episode a twirl?
