Had any doubts that HP would deliver multiple new phones ? Here’s a little something that should make you slightly less unsure. Homebrew hub WebOS Internals spent last week digging through SFR’s webOS 2.0 build for the Palm Pre 2 , and surfaced with the names Broadway, Windsor, Mantaray and Stingray, as well as the Roadrunner you’re likely already familiar with . More telling, these five codenames appeared in a string designed to display the message “temporarily not restoring logs for newer devices,” meaning they’re all very likely as fresh as can be. Let’s hope we can pin them to some fancy new hardware before the year is through.

7:00 AM Monday Nov 8, 2010 Share Email Print Expand Shrink Qantas has found issues with three more Rolls-Royce jet engines on its grounded Airbus A380 fleet, dashing the likelihood of their early return to service. Two engines – on aircraft in Sydney and Los Angeles – have been taken off for closer inspection as a result of the eight-hour tests Rolls-Royce recommended, Australian newspapers say. It now seems increasingly unlikely that the grounding of the fleet will be limited to the 48 hours outlined by chief executive Alan Joyce on Friday, the report in the Sydney Morning Herald says. Thousands of people will experience delays as the airline shuffles its fleet to cover the grounded A380s,…

November 7, 2010 No Comment
Christine Amanpour spent much of Sunday’s This Week arguing with her guests about how taxes must be raised — a theme also echoed on Face the Nation and Meet the Press — as she brought aboard the media’s newest hero, tax-hike advocate David Stockman, and also touted Warren Buffett’s quest to hike taxes and how even conservatives in Britain have agreed to do so: “They’re saying there for every $3 in spending cuts, $1 up in taxes.” Advancing the media-Democratic line against the agenda of victorious conservatives, Amanpour asserted to Senator-elect Rand Paul: “There are many economists who simply say the math does not add up, if you’re not going to agree to raising taxes. Do you agree that taxes will have to be raised, as well?” Rand retorted: “I think it's not a revenue problem. It's a spending problem.” To which, Amanpour countered: “But it is a revenue problem according to so many economists.” Amanpour soon repeated: “Without making strong entitlement and other cuts, and even if one does, most of the economists say the math does not add up to keep tax cuts on and on and on. Will you agree to some?” At the top of her show, with “Tax Cut Mantra” derisively on screen, Amanpour touted Stockman: “Their hero may be Ronald Reagan, but his tax man says that [extending the current tax rates] will finish the economy off.” read more

Photo: Krikit I’ve long been scared of conventional deodorant . The idea of aluminum seeping directly into my skin cells leaves me uneasy. My cosmetic rule for the most part is if I can’t eat it, I avoid applying it to my skin. Responsible hygiene can have so many meanings like avoiding baths and excessively long showers, using organic and locally-sourced personal care products whenever possible, and most recently,

In a “how in the world can this happen” moment, federal employees have been put on alert after it was discovered that a worker at the General Services Administration sent the names and Social Security numbers of the agency’s entire staff to a private e-mail address, exposing 12,000 people to the threat of identity theft. —JCL The New York Times: The agency, which manages federal property, employs more than 12,000 people. Officials apologized to employees for the incident in a letter dated Oct. 25 — almost six weeks after the breach occurred. The agency said it had paid for employees to enroll in a one-year program to monitor their credit reports, along with up to $25,000 in identity theft insurance coverage. The letter was signed by Casey Coleman, the chief information officer, and Gail Lovelace, the agency’s senior privacy official. Neither returned calls or e-mails for comment Read more Related Entries October 24, 2010 Google Under Privacy Investigation Again October 18, 2010 Personal Data Farmed Out by Facebook Apps
