Time for the Rumor Mill to spin. It has been heard by a "Business Insider" that Google's download store will become available by as early as this Christmas, from an indie record label-owner. Not much to go on, but hopefully, there is more to follow.

News from the never-ending patent war between Apple and Samsung: the Wall Street Journal is reporting today that Samsung filed for preliminary injunctions in the Tokyo District Court and in the New South Wales Registry, Australia. This time, the goal is to block sales of the iPhone 4S, which launched in both countries last Friday.

Why is it that so much happens with Facebook and we rarely hear about Twitter? not two weeks after Facebook launched their shiny, new "hybrid news feed" (deep announcer voice), impressions are down. I don't have Facebook, so I don't know what that is. But it sounds bad. On the bright side, comments are up by 21% and likes by 9%, so Facebook is on the rise again. Good going, Zuckerberg & co.

When Microsoft launched Windows Phone last year, I was of the opinion that it was a platform that would never build steam. The entrenched players - iOS, RIM, and Android - already controlled the market, and the hiatus between the last Windows Mobile phone and the first Windows Phone was too long for even the most dedicated or curious customers to wait. According to buyers and reviews, the windows phone had everything pleasing about from display to run times and lets not forget the interface. The reason windows didnt sell so many of their phones was because the time between windows phone left a big gap and many people were just simply not interested

Well it would seem that NTT DoCoMo, one of the largest wireless carriers in Japan, has let slip the Samsung Galaxy Nexus announcement just a couple hours early. According to a tweet, "the latest Android OS smartphone with Google and Samsung Electronics [will be] announced on October 19 in Hong Kong tomorrow. DoCoMo is almost equivalent to the fastest in the world, scheduled for release in November. More later." (Anyone who's fluent in Japanese, please feel free to add clarity that Google Translate can't.)

Since Angry Birds has pretty much taken over the world, why not try to extend the reign of awesomeness to space? An Angry Birds plushie, along with two Apple iPads, will be sent to the International Space Station with two upcoming Russian space launches. The iPads will be used for entertainment purposes, obviously, but the plush toy will be the first Angry Bird in space. That's one small step for a plush toy, one giant leap for Angry Birds everywhere.

Do you love Starbucks coffee and want to learn more about your cup-a-joe? Then you're in luck. Starbucks is launching a QR code program which will let consumers learn more about their coffee. These codes can also provide additional information, most likely in the form of a video, about coffee sold at the stores. Some may provide a sample of music that people listen to in the region where the coffee was picked and found, or a description of just how great the coffee is, done by coffee experts. Whoa. Starbucks is working with Scanbuy on this initiative, who have previously worked with The Home Depot and Taco Bell. So, you get a background check on your coffee. That's useful, right?

Facebook is a website that is used by many users around the world. It is used to see others profiles and keep in touch with all your friends. Facebook usually has many games you can play with your friends like battleship and farmville. But now Facebook is thinking of having full games on the website. They want games to be easily accessible to buy. They want to start with games like Magicka, Dead Rising2, Saints Row3, etc. I think it is a great idea for Facebook because they can make a lot of money if they put popular games on the web. I personally would not buy them off Facebook because I prefer video games on a ps3 or xbox. It relates to the course because you need to program these games on the web for people to buy. As well, its on a social networking site which makes the games get purchased more often.

This feature also allows you to also give you the option to show an alternate/nickname to facebook. This new feature is said to have already been made and some people have already been giving the option to verify their account. if you want your account verified you have to wait to be given the option by facebook.

Google shipped a major redesign of its Google Search app today with a faster and more tablet-friendly interface for the iPad version. The launch page is now a spare, simple descendent of the iconic Google.com homepage for the post-PC era. The search bar is front and center, collapsing to a top menu bar instantly when you put in your query.

  This article is about a North Korean business which will have access to the Internet soon. In North Korea there is no internet access, as it is a communist country, and this is a big step towards the technological development of North Korea. The South Korean Ministry of Unification will help North Korea in achieving this goal by providing them with internet. This will allow North Korea to use most of the online services available to South Koreans. The first computers will be put in an Internet cafe, then into company offices. The South Korean Ministry of Unification says this will bring the two Korea's more together.

Daniel_Stuckey writes "A business park in North Korea will soon have (limited) access to the Internet, according to news reports. The Register wrote that an industrial park in the Kaesong Industrial Region will house Internet-connected PCs by the first half of this year. The Daily NK explained that the first step to connectivity will be an Internet cafe with 20 computers but afterward company offices will also be connected. They quoted a spokesperson from the Ministry of Unification — a department of the South Korean government that works on unifying the two Koreas — as saying, 'We are planning to launch the basic level of Internet services at the Kaesong Industrial Complex starting in the first half of this year,' and adding, 'Officials and employees in the North's border city will be able to use most of the online services now available in South Korea.'"

Back in February 2004, did anyone have any idea that a college social networking site could redefine the Internet era as we know it? We doubt it. Mashable created this gallery

I personally don't have Facebook, but I've heard that the "Poke" feature is rather annoying and useless. During the launch of the new Facebook subscribe button, it was noted that the Poke button is hidden in the settings menu, where most will never see it. Facebook users are not projected to miss it, either. Many people rarely use it, and the ultimate use of the button itself has gone undefined. Perhaps the next best thing for Facebook would be to kill the Poke and install something new, what with the radical change of the new Facebook Timeline approaching. Unless they hear otherwise, I think they should just kill the Poke and have a proper funeral.
