We mentioned the recent issues that came to light for RIM regarding the use of BBM, and well, it looks like they have since responded with an official statement. “Since its launch in July 2005, BlackBerry Messenger has become a tremendously popular social networking service. In 2010, RIM started to formally adopt the BBM acronym, more »

Not long after Google revealed new features for the web-based version of Google+, it updated its Android app with some neat changes. The relatively small-sized update changes the way photos are viewed, adds more features to Messenger and squashes some bugs you probably never knew existed.

Google made a flurry of announcements regarding Google+ today. The social network is now available to the public after spending several months in beta. Those who have never used Google+ have more reasons to try the service today because Google has updated both the Android application and Google+ on the web. All the features we’ll go over here are expected to be available to everyone worldwide by Wednesday.

If you plan on doing any sort of traveling with your iPad, you’ll need some kind of sleeve or case to carry it in. That’s where Timbuk2′s Envelope Sleeve comes into play. Here’s my first impression: Timbuk2 has been outfitting bicycle messengers for years with a tough to destroy product; the Envelope Sleeve looks no more »

Microsoft has taken to YouTube and offered up an Office for Mac 2011 teaser video. Overall its nicely done, though most of what we are looking at has been shown off before.

Looks like that hot new Blackberry Messenger (“BBM”) that everyone seems to love will be coming to all Blackberry devices with OS 5.0. And folks are lovin’ it. Previously, only select models were lucky enough to be blessed with BBM, while the rest were stuck with something that looked like something out of decades past. BGR has apparently been playing around with it on the Curve 8900, and claims it’s here for all with 5.0.

Netbook users will now be able to make their way through the airport just a little quicker thanks to a smaller sized TSA-friendly messenger bag. The Netbook Instant messenger bag comes courtesy of Solo CheckFast and is designed for netbooks of 11-inches and smaller. Of course, with the smaller size of the bag, you will have less room for extra goodies, but that combined with the typical lower weight of the netbooks may actually be another benefit.

Microsoft just announced that they are giving Windows Live a major face lift. They plan to debut a whole bunch of new beta Windows Live features to help users combine all parts of their online life. These features are not going to just be Microsoft services either. But they will all be under the Windows Live umbrella page.

Even though they already hold the title of the most used messenger program; they obviously want to reach even farther into the online cookie jar. Microsoft wants to offer competition with the popular social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. Whether or not they can actually provide any kind of competition coming into the game this much later remains to be seen. What’s Microsoft’s plan? Keep reading.

I don’t know if any of you can remember the old 3D films where the glasses were given out at the start, but just the memory recalls feelings of nausea. In fact it is these films that automatically put me off anything with ’3D’ as a prefix. However the “Novo Minoru 3D Webcam” (Minoru meaning “reality” in Japanese) is different and not just because it is cute.

The webcam is really two cameras that are positioned roughly the same distance apart which is important as it means the images can be correctly interpreted by the brain that sees them. Conveniently, this also means that when coupled with a study and well designed plastic case, it can create a particularly cute creature that appears to gaze at you. This is enhanced by the multi-position stand which, when upright, look suspiciously like two arms. Plenty more after the break.
