On display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from February 24 to May 12 is a nanotechnology-equipped concept mobile device.

The Morph is the result of an ongoing partnership between Nokia and the University of Cambridge, and illustrates their ideas of how future devices will look and function. It's a multipurpose unit with context-dependent shape; so whatever its intended use may be at the time, it can be structurally modified to fit the user's needs.

Fujitsu is now the third company to have announced a half terabyte 2.5" drive by announcing its MHZ2 BT.

Fujitsu's reputation for HDD production has a few historical black marks. In 2001-2002, over 300,000 of its PB16 family of drives had to be recalled and replaced due to severe overheating. This resulted in a $43 million class action lawsuit settled in 2004. Furthermore, the company's Lifebook N3010 reportedly tended to run on the extremely hot side (October 2006 Sony battery issue notwithstanding).

After a two hour stretch yesterday of refusing service to YouTube users across the globe, the Google-owned site said Pakistan is to blame.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ordered ISPs to re-route traffic away from a specific YouTube URL pointing to a trailer for Dutch Politician Geert Wilders' anti-Islamic video.

The Unofficial Apple Blog has posted a program for the iPhone which enlists the help of Twitter to alert the user -- or someone else -- of the global coordinates of a properly-enabled device.

The command-line program obtains the location of the cell tower nearest to the iPhone, in latitude and longitude through Google Maps.

It may share a name with James Cameron's classic cyborg villain, but Vocera's new T1000 Wi-Fi phone system has more in common with communicators of the Gene Roddenberry variety.

Vocera's system of wireless handsets and communicator badges is built upon a Windows server and integrated with both the PBX phone system and the patient monitoring/supply management/point of sale systems. The server handles the call management, user profiles, and speech recognition commands. Devices are interchangeably assigned to a user profile and phone number, making them instantly re-assignable when shifts change.

California rights protection company Macrovision has sold off yet another of its properties in its move toward concentrating on the interactive video and set-top box market.

RealMedia announced today that it has acquired Trymedia from Macrovision for an undisclosed sum. In Macrovision's quarterly earnings call yesterday, however, it announced its gaming division had been sold for $4 million. Macrovision initially bought the company in 2005 for $34 million.

With generational shifts in graphics processors taking place almost every 12 months now, instead of the 18 months GPU manufacturers prefer, the value proposition becomes more difficult each time. Yesterday, NVidia hoped it could make a play to the mainstream buyer.

The company's ninth generation of graphics processors burst onto the scene yesterday, in the form of the GeForce 9600 GT card, the first unit to feature its GeForce 9 series GPU.

OpenTV, a provider of set-top box technology, announced yesterday that its standard has now been embedded in over 100 million devices worldwide. This spans at least 50 different cable, satellite and IPTV providers worldwide, and hardware from over 40 manufacturers.

Through the continuing support from international customers, like Sky Italia, the satellite TV provider for the Apennine Peninsula, OpenTV has continued to grow.

T-Mobile has announced an addition to its Hotspot@Home service with the Talk Forever Home Phone add-on plan which comes with the WRTU54G wireless router geared toward the fixed, home user, utilizing the company's UMA technology.

At a cost of $10 per month (plus taxes and fees), the plan includes: unlimited nationwide calling, call forwarding, 3-way conferencing, voice mail, hold, and call waiting. Signup requires an existing T-Mobile single line plan of $39.99 or more, or family plan of $49.99 or more.

Microsoft has presented a list of applications which are adversely affected by the problematic Vista Service Pack 1, some of which cease to function entirely.

The problem apps are categorized in three groups: those that are blocked from starting, those that lose functionality, and those that do not run at all following the installation of Service Pack 1.

At the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Emotiv is showing off its headset controller, the EPOC, a unit which reads cognitive actions and facial expressions.

The device works through a series of electromagnetic sensors which contact the wearer's scalp. Depending upon the application, the sensors may be used to read emotion, facial expression, cognitive action, and the abstract category of "visualization." It currently has the capability to recognize 30 discrete conditions. For emotions, the device acts as a sort of primitive mood ring, using brainwave patterns to tell whether its wearer is excited, calm, tense, or frustrated.

Mobile device CPU manufacturer ARM today announced Mali-JSR297 software, which takes full advantage of OpenGL ES 2.0 standard GPU and allows for 3D graphics processing on mobile platforms.

OpenGL ES has been appearing with increasing frequency in handsets, such as nVidia's recent prototype phone and Symbian OS devices.

Today, the Consumer Electronics Association and the National Association of Broadcasters announced upgrades to Antennaweb.org, aimed at telling the consumer whether his TV antenna (remember those?) is ready for the DTV transition.

The broadcast television switch, according to FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, needs to be presented in a more coherent fashion so consumers will no longer be confused. A recent FCC study showed that awareness of the transition reached just under 80% in January 2008, compared to 38% of the prior year. However, getting the message out is still not enough. 34 million over-the-air television viewers need more information to prevent what Adelstein referred to as "confusion that could turn into widespread panic."

Verizon Wireless today anounced an unlimited flat rate voice plan, which was followed only hours later by AT&T unveiling a similar plan.

Verizon's Plan costs $99 per month for unlimited calling to anyone in the US, with no long distance or roaming charges, plus an additional $1.99 per MB HTML browsing charge, for all tiers of the plan except the top tier.

Sabotage is now being discussed as one possible explanation for the numerous cuts which took place two weeks ago on undersea data pipelines serving much of the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency of the UN, says that sabotage cannot be ruled out as a possible cause yet, and that investigations are continuing. Many have remarked that the total of five cuts made to different cables simultaneously in different locations seems unlikely to be a simple coincidence.
