Recent intel suggests that Motorola’s Droid 2 Global will be coming in two colors — kind of a strange choice for a phone being tagged as “business-grade” — and now, it looks like we can expect to see at least one of those colors on next Thursday, November 11th. Specifically, the leak we’ve got here calls out the blue version of the phone (probably the same blue on the Droid 2 of old); the white model isn’t mentioned, so it’s unclear whether Verizon’s planning on holding that one back for a bit longer. We suppose it’s possible that the white looks just a little too much like the pricey R2-D2 edition for Big Red’s comfort, so they might want to give the spunky little astromech droid a bit more exclusivity before hauling in another white model (with better radios, no less). Seeing how the Droid Pro looks targeted for a week later on the 18th, this might be the very first CDMA / GSM dual-mode Android phone on the market — so who’s excited?

There are those who pick their pants based on the size of the camera they’re going to pocket for the day, and those who just pick their pants and take a camera if one fits. For that latter group Nikon ‘s latest, the Coolpix S5100 , may be a good choice. It has scored a “Recommended” review over at Photography Blog , delivering good quality images through its 5x zoom and 12.2 megapixel sensor despite that diminutive size — barely wider than a credit card. And, with a $179 MSRP, it won’t put too much of a hurting on those real pieces of plastic you wouldn’t dare leave home without.

November 4, 2010 No Comment“This is the type of direct democracy people say they want. Sometimes you wonder,” MSNBC's Chuck Todd editorialized after a segment about conservative ballot initiatives that passed into law on Tuesday. Towards the bottom of the 9 a.m. EDT hour of “The Daily Rundown,” reporter Mara Schiavocampo looked at a handful of state ballot initiatives that voters had considered at the polls on Tuesday. Aside from Proposition 19 — the marijuana legalization measure which was rejected by California voters — Schiavocampo noted two conservative ballot questions that passed in Oklahoma: a measure declaring English the official language of the Sooner State and a measure forbidding consideration of Islamic sharia law or international law in rulings made by Oklahoma state judges. Schiavocampo insisted that “critics” — whom she failed to name — dismissed the ballot questions as “cultural wedge issues that were designed to bring conservatives to the polls.” [Video after page break] read more
