March 20, 2010
RIM has been busy sending out scheduled maintenance notifications to admins and carriers as the folks behind the ever popular BlackBerry are preparing to roll out BIS 3.0 to North American users. While you can expect there to be a bit of turbulence, hopefully it won’t affect too many humans, as most folks should be sleeping during that timeframe anyways. Let’s wait and see what happens, and hopefully the transition will be painless. Details and timeframe of the maintenance include:

NVIDIA Optimus achieves goal of seamless GPU transition
February 9, 2010
After the NVIDIA Optimus teaser was posted in early January, there was some speculation about what it was, but we now have first-hand knowledge: NVIDIA Optimus is an architecture for multi-GPU computers (typically integrated + discrete) that allows the operating system to seamlessly switch amidst integrated and discrete graphics. The goal is to use the most appropriate graphics processor at any given instance in order to minimize capability consumption or maximize performance.
I’ve seen it in action, and I can tell you that it is leaps and bounds better than what is out there today. Typically, today’s computers require several steps in order to switch from one GPU to another. It’s not intuitive and most users don’t even bother doing it considering it’s a hassle.

Nokia drops S60 for Maemo (updated: not happening)
November 18, 2009
Could the Symbian S60 operating system be dying a slow but certain death? That is what most folks would think with word going around, stating that Nokia will include Maemo on all of its flagship N Series smartphones down the road instead of the old faithful, Symbian S60. It won't be instant though, but gradual with the transition being brought to completion when 2012 rolls around. Well, at least the S60 can still find a home on the X Series and E Series.
Update: Nokia has issued a statement that contradicts what its Maemo team said publicly in London. There you go:
While it is our policy not to reveal details of our product roadmap, we'd like to explicitly communicate that we remain firmly committed to Symbian as our smartphone platform of choice. Any speculation on what our 2012 roadmap, including operating systems and product branding, are completely premature.
