China Is Copying the Web Too [Internet]

China is not only copying consoles, iPhones and Rolexes. They are also in the business of copying web sites. Why come up with an original idea when you just can watch the west and clone the successful ideas for 1.3 billion people? This is their Foursquare clone. More »

Dell Venue Pro arrives in the UK at long last: �459 off contract, shipping in 10 days (update: Germany also)

Time for a quick memory check: remember the WP7 slider that Dell announced some months ago? That's right, it's the Venue Pro -- the one that's been struggling to meet demand in the US due to some mysterious reworking. Well, here's some good news for the folks on the other side of the pond: starting today, Dell's UK store is taking orders for this unlocked slider for a hefty £459 ($745), and the first deliveries are expected to arrive in 10 days. Man, these wicked people from Round Rock sure love making us wait, but better late than never, right?

Update: We've been informed by our friends over at BestBoyZ that Germany's also getting the Venue Pro today for around €534.

Download official Android 3.0 Honeycomb wallpaper images

android 3.0 honeycomb wallpaper images
As is usually the case with new Android SDK releases, various bits and pieces have been ripped out and shared with the world thanks to an enthusiastic and ambitious dev community. Over at the Android Central forums, Alex Dobie has shared nine new wallpaper images which are bundled in the tablet-friendly Android 3.0 Honeycomb SDK.

The images are fairly high-res, too, at 1980x1408 pixels -- so they may even be a good fit for your desktop or laptop if you want to show off your affinity for Android.

You'll need to register with Android Central before you can access the download link, or you can wait patiently for the images to be posted elsewhere. They'll more than likely be mirrored a dozen different places by the time you read our post, after all -- so feel free to share alternative download locations in the comments!

Update: we've uploaded the wallpapers to our own Web hosting -- feel free to download them after the break. Click a thumbnail to see the full-size version.

Why Didn't the New 13-inch MacBook Pro Get a Higher Resolution Screen? [Question]

There's no question that the new MacBook Pros are blazingly awesome. The whole line has been rejuvenated with Sandy Bridge processors, better graphics and a lightning fast Thunderbolt I/O port. But one thing has been bothering us about the update, or rather, lack of update: The 13-inch MacBook Pro still has a lower resolution screen. There's not even an option for a higher-res screen, like the 15-inch Pro. More »

Mozilla F1 adds bit.ly account support, improves security

firefox 4 f1 sharing
After having just received a slimmer, vertical interface, the F1 sharing add-on for Firefox 4 has received another minor bump from the team at Mozilla Messaging. This time, F1 has added support for bit.ly accounts -- enabling you to track statistics for your shares alongside your other bit.ly links.

F1 also now offers better security out-of-the-box by storing OAuth information in the browser. Autocomplete has also been improved, and Linux users should now be able to utilize the dropdowns in F1 -- which is kind of important if you want to post to a group Facebook wall or send a direct message on Twitter.
