Speaking at a
MIX10 session about Windows Phone 7 Series
architecture this morning, Microsoft's Istvan Cseri mentioned that the Windows Phone Marketplace --
the one and only clearinghouse for apps in WP7S -- will be able to remotely revoke licenses. Since
devices will only run properly-licensed apps, this effectively means the company will be able to
shut down apps remotely -- a capability they'd probably invoke if a Marketplace app were to badly
misbehave en masse, for example. To put it bluntly, Cseri says that apps simply aren't in control
of their own life cycle; the user controls installation and removal while the Marketplace ensures
that the license is valid.
On a related note, we know that Microsoft has a series of not-yet-finalized "business, technical,
and content" guidelines for accepting and rejecting apps submitted to the Marketplace, and we've
got a particularly interesting case: apps are being "discouraged" from using the phone's Back
button. They're being so strongly discouraged, in fact, that Todd Brix -- senior director of mobile
platform services product management at the company -- told us that apps can and will be
straight-up rejected for using Back for anything but dismissing dialog boxes. We won't know the
full rulebook until Microsoft releases it in May -- but in the meantime, don't bother making
anything too controversial with those free tools, eh?
There's hardly
anything here that we didn't already
know, but an unveiling date of "next week" sure catches our eye. A new report over at The
Wall Street Journal confirms earlier details
that were fed to us over Sprint's first-ever WiMAX smartphone, and now we're learning that the
HTC
Supersonic will be officially revealed to the world at CTIA next week. We've heard before that
the carrier anticipates selling a 4G phone "this summer," but you can bet we'll be digging for a
hard ship date and price tag when we hit the scene in Las Vegas in just five short days.
Have you always wanted to build a robot but didn't know how? Have you always wanted to turn those
old Debbie Gibson CDs into something useful? Got a use for a $500 gift card? For all these
reasons and more, you should check out The Make: Robot Build Contest. As we announced last week,
the contest will officially start on March 27th, but we'll send out the first Make: Robot
Build Newsletter this Friday, and each Wednesday after that. The contest will run through
May 7th. We'll be running robot build tutorials here on the site (and in the newsletter) until
the contest ends. The build and the contest are designed to appeal to robot enthusiasts of any
skill level, so even if you haven't built a bot before, don't hesitate to join in! We're even
going to give points to those who seem to improve/learn the most during the build process.
You can sign up for the newsletter right here:

Episode 1 of The Fleet - Click above to watch the video
after the jump
Imagine the TV show, "The Office." No, not the American version that catapulted Rainn Wilson into
superstardom, but the British original. You know...the sitcom that helped launch creator and star,
Ricky Gervais, into the spotlight. Now imagine it set in a fleet management company called
Lightfoot Logistics. That is the setup for a new viral marketing effort created for Fiat's UK van
business, of all things.
Fiat has produced a series of short mockumentary-type webisodes chronicling the day-to-day
activities at the firm and a full Lightfoot website to go with it. There is plenty of sexual
innuendo in the videos, but they are pretty tame and make this Office-knockoff almost as funny as
the real thing. Almost. We've embedded the first two episodes
after the jump for your lunch-at-work viewing enjoyment. Click through to see Pete and Dave
take on a rival's clueless salesman and watch as they head to the area commercial van show to check
out the Doblo and its competition, nearly getting sidetracked by an obnoxious acquaintance.
WARNING: Videos after the jump are set to auto play.
Last week,
speculation surrounding a pending announcement of the oft-rumored, slimmed down "Valhalla" model of
the Xbox 360 was kicked into high gear, thanks to a Microsoft hiring
notice for a motherboard engineer, and Steve Ballmer's reference to "more
form factors" for the hardware. Earlier today, a
Chinese tech forum purportedly posted a pair of pictures of the newly remodeled motherboard,
which has undergone a massive size reduction from the current iteration of Xbox 360 hardware.
A few noteworthy
changes in the motherboard (full pictures of which can be found after the jump) are a
consolidated GPU/CPU, an extra SATA port, and a much smaller heatsink. Though the design could just
be a mock-up from an extraordinarily talented modder, it certainly looks like professional-quality
work. We've contacted Microsoft to see if they'll comment on the skinny-fied hardware.

You may now
be able to choose from a wide assortment of protective screen films at Apple's online or retail
stores, but it looks like that won't be the case for much longer. As iLounge is reporting
from multiple sources (and we have also heard), Apple will apparently stop selling all protective
screen film products starting in May. That includes both film-only products (whether they are used
for protective or anti-glare purposes), as well as cases that have a protective film built into
them. For its part, Apple isn't giving any reason for the move, or confirming it itself just yet,
but it seems like it might not be the most popular decision if it is the case. As iLounge
points out, the single most popular iPod "case" in the Apple Store right now is, in fact, a
protective film for the iPod touch.
Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is not something most people normally think of as "fuel." After all,
it's got no carbon in it. Most people know that, as an oxidizer, it can enhance the burning rate
of fuels, but the familiar "fire triangle" teaches us that combustion requires both an oxidizer
and a fuel, plus a source of ignition, to get started. Turns out, depending on how
concentrated it is, hydrogen peroxide can, under the right conditions, explode all on its own.
The 3% aqueous solution in your medicine cabinet is completely safe, but the hazards increase
rapidly as the amount of H2O2 goes up and the amount of H2O goes down. Up around 85% peroxide,
the stuff is literally rocket fuel, and its spontaneous decomposition in the presence of a
catalyst like, say, metallic silver or manganese dioxide, happens incredibly fast. The rocket
motor in Wendell Moore's famous Bell Rocket Belt (Wikipedia) operated on this principle.
Shown above is a video of the Dragonfly DF1, an experimental aircraft under development by
Swisscopter US. Instead of a traditional gasoline
engine, the Dragonfly has peroxide-powered rocket engines on the tips of its main blades, with a
mechanical take-off to drive the tail-rotor. Large tanks of high-test peroxide supposedly provide
50 minutes of flight at 40 mph.
So why would anyone want a helicopter that works this way? Turns out an H2O2 rocket motor is
vastly simpler than a gasoline engine, mechanically, and thus (at least theoretically) less
failure-prone, and therefore safer. All you need to make an H2O2 rocket is a tank of high-test
peroxide, another tank of inert gas to pressurize it, and a nozzle with a silver-coated screen to
spray the stuff through. [via DVICE]
Sometimes it's hard enough to make a list of favorite movies, let alone favorite scenes from
favorite movies. But that's just what a handful of filmmakers have done for writer Philip French
for a new article in The
Guardian. French kicks things off with an appreciation of Psycho (the shower scene of course)
and a few other favorites. Then we get down to business. Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson and
Sugar) chooses the great
chase sequence in The
French Connection. "It was the kind of thing that you just would never get away with these
days," he says.
Ken Loach (The Wind
That Shakes the Barley) is next, and chooses the bicycle scene from Jules and
Jim: "It evokes what you imagine to be the perfect French vacation." Oscar winning
animator Nick Park ("Wallace & Gromit")
chooses the skeleton scene in Jason
and the Argonauts. "Disney films didn't make me want to go home and do it myself because
it was shrouded in mystery and technique. But when I saw the skeletons in Harryhausen's film I
wanted immediately to do it myself, because you got a sense of how it might be done," says
Park.
Our favorite grindhouse-lovin', movie-crazy English director Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz) also chooses a
scene. So does the brilliant Claire Denis from
France, as well as filmmakers Beeban Kidron,
Stephen Poliakoff, and producer Stephen Woolley, but I'll leave their choices for you to
discover. Meanwhile, I'll submit a favorite choice of my own: the swimming pool scene from Cat People (1942), with the shimmery lights on
the wall, and the echoing screams creating a kind of mysterious terror nearly unequaled in
movies.
ImgBurn is an excellent, free application for all
kinds of burning tasks. Its developer Lightning UK has built a number of improvements into recent
versions -- making an already good program even better.
Version 2.5.1 is now available for download and the changelog is a typically lengthy one. Two key
alterations are worth noting. First, ImgBurn's disc layout editor view now includes an Explorer
pane on top which makes creating compilations easier than ever. Prefer the old interface? Just
click and disable the Explorer view.
Second, ImgBurn 2.5.1 -- like many of our other favorite apps including CCleaner -- now includes options to install the
Ask.com toolbar during setup. As always, just uncheck it if you don't want it. It's not as though
the change has been snuck in -- it's listed in the changelog and talked
about in the forums. Also worth noting: when I installed 2.5.1 -- both as an upgrade and from
scratch -- I never saw the options or received the toolbar (or any other adware).
Can't really begrudge Lightning UK for wanting to earn revenue from such a great app (especially
when it's optional), can we?
Though Uncharted 2 may have snatched away most of the
Game of the Year trophies, Assassin's
Creed 2 stands out as another of 2009's most acclaimed and successful titles. Lead game
designer Patrick Plourde candidly discussed Ubisoft Montreal's development process at one of the
final panels during this year's Game Developers
Conference and gave some surprising insight into what happens when a project's scope is altered
in the midst of development.
From the outset, Assassin's Creed 2 took aim at the commercial success of the first game,
as well as its vocal group of detractors. "I'm not gonna lie about it," Plourde said, "some people
liked it, some people despised it. That's the way it is."
The way things would be took a surprise turn in the middle of 2008, months after the game had begun
development in earnest. As Plourde puts it, a "curveball from upper management" requested a change
in the game's scope. Ordinarily, ambitious plans may get trimmed down as a launch date draws near,
but Ubisoft had decided to increase the number of features dramatically.

Yee-Ha! in a 2011 Ford Edge Sport - Click above for high-res image
gallery
Manufacturers used to roll out all-new cars every five-to-eight years. Somewhere around the halfway
point - usually year three - much hoopla would be made about new front and rear fascias, the
addition of some standard features and some new option packages. (*Yawn*). These changes were
designed to give shoppers a reason to look at a car that was getting long-in-the-tooth.
Ford Motor Company sung by this songbook for decades, but it's not any longer. As we've seen with
the Escape, Fusion and Mustang, the Ford brand is
rolling out significant product changes any time they darn well please. For example, the 2010 Fusion could have been a standard refresh, but
instead included three all-new powertrains, a significantly upgraded interior, and the expected
front and rear fascias.
Introduced as a 2007 model at the close of 2006, the Edge was Ford's second attempt at a more car-like
crossover. (Anybody remember the Freestyle/Taurus X ... uhh, not so much.) Heading into its fifth
year of production, the Edge needed some serious attention. It just got it: We
reported so on the eve of February's Chicago Auto Show.
Following the new model's public debut, Ford offered
Autoblog an exclusive opportunity to ride in a 2011 Edge Sport with some development engineers so
we could have an early, behind-the-scenes look at their handiwork. The new Edge doesn't go on sale
until later this Summer, but you can read all about our experience at the Dearborn Development
Center right now after the jump.
Fewer
products are more appropriately named than the Logitech Harmony series of smart remotes. They do
wonderful things to take home entertainment systems, comprised of a disparate jumble of mismatched
devices, and turn them into peaceful entities that work together for the betterment of your living
room -- you half expect doves with olive branches in their mouths to fly out of the box when you
get one. Alas, there are neither birds nor branches included with the company's latest entrants to
the series, the 600 and 650 announced
two weeks ago, but still they offer the best value amongst the current Harmony lineup. Can they
broker successful negotiations amongst all your devices? Read on to find out.
You might remember Turtle Rock Studios
for its series of excellent Counter-Strike mods or for its work on Left 4 Dead -- a project the studio started
in 2005 and only finished after being acquired and eventually absorbed by Valve. Though a majority
of its staff now works for the PC gaming juggernaut, Turtle Rock's original CEO Michael Booth
has revived the outfit and has begun to rebuild its team of developers.
Though we're as yet unsure what projects Turtle Rock is planning, we wish the team the best of
luck. Not just because we've loved its games so far, but because we feel an immediate fondness for
game developers named after dungeons from A Link to the Past.

Two-wheeled treasure chest - Click above to watch the video of the uncrating
after the break
We're sure you are familiar with the old expression that hindsight is 20/20. In most cases this
adage holds true, particularly, when it comes to all of the beautiful cars and motorcycles we wish
we would have kept over the years. It wasn't exactly a case of hindsight, but rather well planned
forethought that drove Bengt Gunnarson to hang on to two of Honda's most elusive models by tucking them away safely in his
shop's basement.
Gunnarson, who is the owner of Stockholm's MC-Varuhus
(Motorcycle Warehouse), does something most dealers are terrified of: he actually collects
motorcycles in between selling them. In 1992, when the Warehouse received its shipment of not one,
but two Honda NR models,
Bengt quietly stashed one in the basement for a rainy day. Since then, we have yet to see many
eight-valve V-four engines with oval pistons floating around. But this was not the first time that
Gunnarson had seen the writing on the wall. Only three years earlier, in 1989, as Honda's HRC division was producing a limited number of
RC-30 models to meet World Superbike
homologation rules, a parking place was also made for a boxed RC in the cellar.
Recently, the crew at MC-Varuhus opened the vault and uncrated these two beautiful bikes. The plan
is to let them spend some time out in the open, albeit in display cases, where visitors to the
dealership can get a first-hand view of both bikes.
Click past the break to watch the unveiling video, as this may be as close as we get to coming
to grips with two of Honda's most unique motorcycles.

If Red Sonja fans were looking
for another sounding of the death knell for the mythical Robert Rodriguez film, it might have been
rung by Marcus
Nispel and Conan.
According to Variety,
Rose
McGowan has joined the cast just as it heads off to Bulgaria to start shooting. Given that
she's been attached to star in Red Sonja for a few years now it
would make perfect since for her to appear in Conan as the flame-haired warrior. Universe
building! It's the hot new thing!
Except that she's not appearing as Red Sonja. Variety says she's playing "an evil
half-human / half witch", presumably an ally of Stephan
Lang's sadistic warlord, Khalar Singh. The plot revolves around Singh trying to track down a
prophecy laden Queen whose sacrifice could summon him a demonic army. Having a witch around would
be handy for that kind of work.
Will this be some kind of weird origin retcon, and McGowan's half-human / half-witch will end up
becoming Red Sonja? I hope not. It would be terrible. Will McGowan be disguised under
enough hideous makeup that it will simply be a fun bit of trivia that she appeared in both films?
(I doubt that. Women aren't allowed to look unattractive in the Hyborian Age.) Will she be some
kind of evil relation of Red Sonja? I'm certain I'm overthinking it, but I feel like it's no
accident, and meant to be some kind of tie-in or Easter Egg. Nevertheless, I'm going to choose to
believe it's another nail in the coffin for Rodriguez's Red Sonja, and that she's just
appearing in the Conan universe as a good laugh and an admission of defeat.
Why is this man
so down? Is it the crooked hat? Or the long hours spent with the same flat expression on his face?
No, the fact of the matter is that Sky's plan to outfit pubs the breadth and width of the island
nation with 3D televisions has fallen flat. Yesterday LG announced that
the satellite provider had purchased some 15,000 sets with the hope of hooking folks on the
technology before launching its in-home service later in the year, but now the company's pulling
back, instead saying that deal involves the channel selling pubs 3DTVs through a third party. And
we're sure that pub owners are going to jump at the chance to buy expensive new displays and scores
of 3D glasses so customers can drop them in pitchers and / or break them while playing darts or
whatever goes on over there in the land of Pete Doherty and excessive surveillance. LG's statement is after
the break.
In the ever-shifting maze of domain names, ICANN, and approved registrars, companies
often behave as if their valuable intellectual property is in the crosshairs of evil domain-name
squatters. The new gTLD system,
slated to kick off in 2011, only makes the universe of possible domain-name fights even bigger.
Canon is already battening down the hatches for the day when you'll be able to register
dot-anything as a domain, by announcing its intention to buy .canon.
In its press release, Canon says it finds value in the new gTLDs because .canon will be easier to
remember than Canon.com. I'm not sure I agree, but it's conventional wisdom that you ought to
defensively register your company name before a squatter gets it. It might not be accurate
conventional wisdom, though.
One study found that, out of 1043 major companies, only a small percentage even bothered to
grab up the last round of new TLDs, which included duds like .pro and .cat.
Companies don't bother to register these upstart TLDs, and squatters also don't bother to exploit
them. The survey found plenty of corporate-friendly domains that were completely unregistered. So,
maybe .canon is a good buy, but it's not likely that corporations will be shelling out billions of
dollars to buy every generic TLD they can think of.
"Remastered" is
the appropriate term for 4J Studios' Perfect Dark port, which takes Rare's classic console
FPS and remodels it with high-resolution assets and tactful tweaks to better suit its new Xbox Live
Arcade format. Perfect Dark is the third N64-generation Rare title that 4J Studios has
remastered, following XBLA ports of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, and it's
likely the mostanticipated.
Perfect Dark is a historical landmark, after all, and it's one that should be visited from
time to time by anyone interested in games.
Originally released in mid-2000, Perfect Dark arrived as I was staggering forth from my
freshman year of college. I picked it up because, back in high school, we played GoldenEye
until the sun came up. I never grew to worship Perfect Dark as I had Rare's acclaimed Bond
shooter, but my memory recalls it as a "slightly superior" game (if not as personally
beloved). As one of the more prominent entries on my "I woulda, coulda, shoulda played it more"
list, I've been looking forward to this reunion -- a chance to get to know Perfect Dark
better.

General Motors may have sold off Saab to Spyker for $74
million and a 50 gallon bucket of Swedish meatballs, but it appears the "Born From Jets"
automaker isn't saying goodbye to Michigan altogether. The Detroit News is reporting that
Saab has chosen small but trendy Royal Oak, MI as the location for the company's North American
headquarters. The move makes sense given the fact that Michigan has oodles of engineering talent
and many of the world's automakers and suppliers have a presence in the Mitten State. The move will
be a short one as well, as WWJ radio in Detroit reports that the 60 workers will transfer from
Saab's old headquarters at the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit.
To help lure Saab to the Southeast Michigan suburbs, the state's Economic Development Authority has
reportedly granted Saab a five year, $1.2 million high technology tax break. In exchange, the state
of Michigan keeps 60 jobs that pay, on average, $88,000 per year and opportunity for growth in the
next few years. In fact, Saab says there is potential for the company's North American headquarters
to grow to 158 people by 2014. That would represent an estimated $2 million per year for the
beleaguered state, a development that would turn the tax break into a win for the region.
Mike Colleran, chief operating officer of Saab Cars North America, told the DetNews that the
company closed on the 13,000 square foot facility in February and employees will inhabit the
building by the end of March.
Panasonic
has never needed to wait for a new studio album before putting together another major tour, the latest of which it's dubbed Touch
the Future. Trading in the traveling truck exhibition for a more intimate indoor setting, the real
production Full HD 3D televisions are available and on display, along with glasses, Blu-ray players
plus a few other products for good measure. We took a look as soon as the doors opened in NYC (the
display runs through today at the Penn Plaza Pavilion and other locations in Chicago and Los
Angeles, check the schedule for 12 more cities on deck) and got an eye full of the same 50-inch
plasma 3DTVs
on sale at Best Buy stores around the country. One major new look for this demo was an
NVIDIA PC running the 3DTV Play solution, as you can see from the pics even New York's finest
enjoyed turning a lap or two of Need for Speed: Shift in 3D. The action was smooth and
easy compatibility with 3D gaming on the PC should provide plenty of content while we wait for more
true 3D games to hit consoles (which should ramp up after the PS3 update
this summer) while checking out Blu-ray demos on a 50-inch television proved every bit as engaging
this time as it did on the 152-inch
CES display.
Last year a very important lawsuit was filed, challenging whether or not it was legal to patent genes. While that trial is
still (slowly) moving forward, a study has come out pointing out that one of the genes that's at
the center of that trial, BRCA1, from Myriad Genetics, is incredibly broad and could be used to stifle all sorts of important research:
For instance, BRCA1 is on chromosome 17. But long stretches of DNA on chromosome 1 are
identical to stretches in the Myriad patent, the researchers said.
"This claim and others like it turn out, on examination, to be surprisingly broad, and if enforced
would have substantial implications for medical practice and scientific research," they wrote.
In the meantime, we're still waiting for someone to explain how it possibly makes sense to patent
genes.
Screw all those late night shows, I would watch Zach
Galifiankis'Between Two Ferns religiously if it somehow made its way to my cable
channel lineup. And that's not a completely absurd pipe-dream of mine considering Funny
or Die does have a new HBO show, though seeing as Mr. Galifiankis is busy caressing his
newfound movie stardom, as of now we can only look forward to the occasional online segment where
Zach sits down with an actor or actress promoting an upcoming film and absolutely trashes them --
to their face -- in every conceivable way.
And, sure, both parties are in on the joke, but it's still hilarious to watch nonetheless. Zach's
latest victim is Ben
Stiller, who's out promoting Noah Baumbach's Greenberg. Aside from
immediately suggesting Stiller change his last name to There Done That, Galifianakis refers to
Zoolander as Jewlander and cautions Stiller not to make fun of people from the
South because "they're stupid enough to go see your f**king movies." If this is the first thing you
watch today, you're off to a great start.
Watch the latest episode of Between Two Ferns after the jump ...
