BlackBerry Torch 9800: First Blackberry 6 OS Smartphone

The new BlackBerry Torch 9800 with BlackBerry 6 keeps RIM in the smartphone game.

…Part of the difference is clearly processor and graphics based: the Torch uses the same 624 MHz, ARM11-class processor as in the Bold, while the iPhone 4 and top Android phones are using 800 MHz or 1 GHz, Cortex-A8-class processors that are twice as fast or faster.
Sticking with the basic Bold platform helps keep the Torch compatible with third-party software, though. Apps I downloaded from BlackBerry App World generally worked, except if they tried to hand off to the browser (like Viigo (Free, ) does.) Some apps didn’t use the touch interface, but they worked fine with the trackpad and keyboard. That said, BlackBerry is still behind other platforms in terms of delivering a rich array of apps. While I found games, business, and entertainment apps in App World, there are just many fewer than there are either in the Android Market or on the iTunes Store….

How To Use Browser’s Search Box To Make Your Work Easier

The search box is now a part of any respectable browser out there. This guide shows you neat and simple tricks, you’ll know how to do more with the search box to make it worth it’s screen space.

…The search box is now a part of any respectable browser out there. In IE and Firefox you can find it in the the upper right corner, while Chrome has it integrated in the address bar itself. That means that if you type something which is not an interned address and hit enter, it will search with the Google engine for that particular string. Firefox has a similar system where it loads the most relevant page when you type a word or more words and not an address. For example if you type in books and you had a previously visited books site, it will load that site, or just google books for you if you had nothing relevant to load in your history.Back to the subject, the little search box can use any search engine you like, though it’s set to Google as default in most cases. You can click on the icon on the left and scroll through a wide variety of engines and even add new ones. Whatever works for you, but Google is the best be far.Still, can’t we do more with that box there as long as it takes up space anyway?…

Major Flaw Found in Apple’s Safari Browser

Unfortunately, Apple didn’t appear to realize that it was necessary to screen what it allows to access this data. Security researchers revealed that a simple web form can grab much of this data - first name, last name, work place, city, state, and email address — no questions asked.

…security, as it is not possible to compare the vendors based on number of vulnerabilities alone. Apple’s supporters were quick to attack the report. AppleInsider writes:Not all vulnerabilities are equal: Secunia outlines five levels of criticality ranging from minor not critical issues to extremely critical problems that can result in remote exploits without any interaction from the user, and for which active exploits are already known to exist. Yet Secunia’s vulnerability report totals throw all these various types of flaws together into sums that are frequently used for meaningless comparison purposes.It’s ironic that almost simultaneous to the report another significant security flaw in Safari aired. Safari Apple’s browser software has oft seen releases so buggy to the point that they were unusable. Safari 5 certainly offered some improvements in that department, but it apparently doesn’t fair particularly better in the security department than past releases, including Safari 4 which had a flaw so severe…

Certified Lies: Big Brother In Your Browser

You probably feel safe when you see the padlock on your browser window indicating secure communication with your bank or e-mail account. What if instead of worrying about man-in-the-middle attacks, it became government-spy-in-the middle eavesdropping?

…a fresh installation of Windows 7 will list 15 CAs in the operating system’s Trusted Root Store. Sadly, however, this interface is terribly misleading as it doesn’t reveal the fact that Microsoft has opted to trust 264 different CAs. This means any web browser that depends upon Microsoft’s Trusted Root Store (such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari for Windows) ultimately trusts 264 different CAs to issue certificates without warning. Firefox is the only major browser to maintain its own database of trusted CAs. Each of the 264 root CAs trusted by Microsoft, the 166 root CAs trusted by Apple, and the 144 root CAs trusted by Firefox are capable of issuing certificates for any website, in any country or top level domain. You don’t think the government will use their own CA which could be tracked back to them if discovered, do you?
To be fair, however, all encrypted streams that travel over the Internet are susceptible to government spying, not just those that use Microsoft technology.
How does this affect…

How to use YouTube’s video editor

Back in June, YouTube released an experimental tool that had been long asked for by its users: a browser-based video editor.

…Nudging a clip can be accomplished by clicking the little left and right arrows that can be found on the video trimmers. Each of these adjusts the playtime by 1/15th of a second.

Tip: If you want a finer level of control, you can hit the little left and right arrows that are on the top and bottom of the in/out points. These “nudges,” as YouTube calls them, go forward or backward by 1/15th of a second, which can help give you a more exact stop or end point than you’d get with your mouse.
4. Audio (optional)
While you can’t adjust the volume level, or add an audio track of your own, you can use YouTube’s AudioSwap feature to add music to your creation.
It’s worth noting that just like using AudioSwap on a standard YouTube video, using it in YouTube’s editor completely removes any audio that was already in your video. You can add only one audio track to your work, so you have to choose wisely.
Tip: If you’re planning to use YouTube’s audio over your own, you…

Adobe: Flash to take 3D graphics plunge

In a move that could keep ties with online games programmers strong, Adobe Systems is adding 3D graphics support to a coming version of its widely used browser plug-in. The move is an important advancement for Flash, a software foundation that eases programmers’ difficulties with incompatibilities among various operating systems

…gwhiz2K That’s correct. The API for hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding is a recent phenomenon, though Adobe has acknowledged there were other reasons Flash performance on Mac OS X didn’t match it on Windows. Adobe added some hardware acceleration for other areas in Flash Player 10.1. Like this

IBM names Firefox its default browser | Deep Tech - CNET New

All of Big Blue’s employees will be asked to use Mozilla’s open-source browser. IBM likes its standards compliance and independence.

Chrome with its Chromium is faster than Firefox, escpeailly when you have a slow connection like me.. Like this Reply to this comment 2 people like this comment by ivorycruncher July 1, 2010 8:27 AM PDT I’m all for this, but for Firefox to really be practical in an enterprise setting, it needs to obtain remote policy management capabilities, so that administrators can remotely control browser settings, install/configure add-ons, etc. You can set policies for Firefox, but it can only be done so manually on individual workstations. There is no centralized means for doing this, unless you MacGyver your own method for distributing the policy files to workstations. IE can be almost completely controlled by group policy, and Firefox just can’t compete in that area yet….
