Oh dear. Like the N8 before it, Nokia just confirmed to us that the Symbian-powered E7 slider will be delayed. The official word has it launching in early 2011, not December 2010 . We’ve been told that Nokia’s holding up production due to a “minor durability issue” discovered in the E7 hardware. We can’t blame Nokia for wanting to ensure the best possible user experience — it’s just a shame that it will require the holiday shopping season to sort it out.

ROME (Reuters) – Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi won a confidence motion in the Senate as expected on Tuesday, ahead of a lower house vote that could force him to resign or leave him clinging on to a wafer-thin majority. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi sits at the Senate in Rome December 13, 2010. (REUTERS/Alessandro Bianchi) The centre-right government’s secure majority in the upper house meant there was little doubt about the vote on a confidence motion it had called itself to underline its legitimacy. The government won by 162 votes to 135. Shares in media company Mediaset, controlled by Berlusconi’s family, recovered ground and turned positive…

If you’ve ever wondered what a map drawn entirely of Facebook relationships would look like, wonder no more. A Facebook intern by the name of Paul Butler has put together the above image by feeding in location data for pairs of friends, with the white lights representing cities, towns, and hamlets, and the blue streaks between them identifying relationships linking them. It’s fun to see large swathes of Australia and South America devoid of Facebook activity, but check out the bit on the map where Russia and China are supposed to be — is Facebook the most capitalist social network ever or what? Hit the source link for the full-scale image, it gets prettier the closer you get to it.

Um, misfire? That’s exactly what has happened with Pure’s lineup of internet radios, which were supposed to ship to the US of A way back in July. Turns out, the crew hit a few snags along the way, but it looks as if the Evoke Flow, Oasis Flow and Seista Flow will still be making it in time for the holidays.

Better still (and possibly to make up for lost time), the outfit is offering a 15 percent discount and free shipping for all orders placed before next Monday. Candidly speaking, we’d expect to see a cadre of successors in just a few weeks as CES kicks off, but if you’ve got an empty box that needs filled and wrapped… Continue reading Pure’s Evoke Flow, Oasis Flow and Seista Flow internet radios finally on sale in America Pure’s Evoke Flow, Oasis Flow and Seista Flow internet radios finally on sale in America originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 14 Dec 2010 06:19:00 EDT.

Photo: catm It’s a Brit thing: every Christmas there is a race to see which group will have the top single of the Yuletide season. In past years, SImon Cowell has pushed his X-Factor winner to the top. Last year musicians got fed up with the commercialization of it all and issued a rival song which won. This year another group, called Cage Against the Machine , is trying again to counter-act the commercialization of Christmas with a silent grassroots alternative.
