RIM Aims to Reel In Devs With BB10 Preview

Research In Motion will soon give software developers prototype devices that run an early version of the BlackBerry 10 platform. RIM is hosting a BlackBerry 10 event in Orlando in May to coincide with its annual BlackBerry World user conference. There, a limited number of developers will have the chance to tinker with the product. The Canada-based tech company said the prototype, labeled "BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha," is not the finished smartphone intended for consumers.

Iran Still Stuck With Stuxnet

Iran apparently has developed an antivirus program to neutralize the notorious Stuxnet virus that put a kink in the country's nuclear development program in June 2010. Iran has vowed to distribute the antivirus program for free in about a month, according to Trend, a publication that describes itself as a private media outlet in Azerbaijan. The announcement may be intended to buck up the spirits of Iranians, according to Jeffrey Carr, CEO of Taia Global and author of Inside Cyber Warfare: Mapping the Cyber Underworld.

Meg Whitman vs. Tim Cook by the Numbers

Last week was an interesting week. Apple announced what appears to be a penis iron in the new iPad, and folks are burning through their monthly 4G data plans in a few hours. Tim's having his first Antennagate moment, and Steve Jobs he isn't. On the other hand, Meg Whitman announced her first major restructuring since taking over HP, and on paper it not only looks impressive, but also is reminiscent of what Carly Fiorina attempted to do in a lot of ways. Whitman appears to have Fiorina's vision and can execute, which bodes well for HP.

New Camera+ Packs Great Features but Still No Video

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Somehow, some way, I've avoided using the amazingly popular Camera+ photo shooting and editing app. My only excuse? I'm pretty rigorous about which apps I bother to download, play with and use. An apptrocious phone packed with gobs of apps tends to annoy me, so I have a habit of sticking with solid performers rather than clutter my mind with options. But Tap Tap Tap, the company behind Camera+, just upgraded the app to version 3, and the waves of activity around it caught my attention: Maybe I'm missing something here by using my staid built-in Apple Camera app on my iPhone 4.
