If you are interested in your own environment and you are in search of a new toy that makes the classic globe seem a Stone-Age tool, EarthBrowser might be the application you were looking for. All the mapping services available over the Internet are great, but this application is using the Adobe Air technology to push it a little further. EarthBrowser’s main purpose is to gather information that you can access by visiting a handful of websites in a coherent, easy-to-access and easy-to-visualize 3D representation. Of course, the data is being continuously updated, which means that you will actually have a live model of the planet right on your desktop. The Looks Since the volume of information is very high, EarthBrowser must make the most of the available space, that is why the menus and panels designed to offer access to the features are automatically hidden when not used. This behavior gives you the possibility to have the planet representation before your eyes at al!
l times. The globe can be very easily rotated by using the mouse, and you can just as easily zoom in or out by using the scroll button. And, to make it even more realistic, you will be able to activate the star background from the Settings panel. The Works The EarthBrowser interface follows fairly intuitive r...

HTTP:: NPD Hardware Drops Across the Board Except for Xbox 360
--------
The console war is underway on many fronts, among the top three companies involved, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. But what really sets the hierarchy is the monthly charts from the NPD Group research company, which charts retail sales across the United States for both consoles and video games made for them. While last month's results painted a pretty interesting picture, with things still doing alright despite a drop for many devices and titles, it seems that June wasn't very profitable in terms of sales. As such, while May showed a 23 percent year-over-year decline, June showed an even steeper 31 % drop. As opposed to 2008, this year is showing a general drop of only 12 percent, but seeing as how months are passing by and the drops keep getting bigger and bigger, this overall deficit will certainly grow. According to an NPD analyst, Anita Frazier, “this month saw the greatest year-over-year monthly decline since September 2000, when the industry declined 41 percent.†!
But as many analysts are pegging the second half of 2009 as being the moment when the tide will turn, the fact that many titles are already being pushed back to 2010 means that this possibility and the big sales expectations “could be put further at risk,†Frazier says. In terms of hard...

It also features crazy sounds and special effects, making this just the right recipe for any kind of gamer out there. In Card Ninja, you are tasked with flicking cards at matching colors and symbols. The further you get, the harder the task. Beating the clock is of the essence, but also is flicking the right cards in the right direction. From start to finish, Card Ninja constantly demands your full attention and quick reflexes. Don't even get me started on the sound effects. Every good throw means someone or something got hit. Whether it's shattered glass, a chicken biting the dust, or a cook that got it right between the eyes, you'll love every one of them. Unfortunately, I didn't get too far in my Card Ninja games, but that's just to show you!
there's no chance of getting bored with this game. It's quite hard to beat, but that's exactly what we're after!

For what it's worth, it appears that Nokia is determined to push even more handsets on the US market, so as to regain some of the market share it has lost during the last quarters. The first of the new phones, the Nokia E72, comes to the market with full HSPA on the 850 and 1900MHz frequencies, as well as with quad-band EDGE and HSPA 2100. The tri-band 3G (850/1900/2100MHz) support suggests that the device is AT&T-bound, so it might not be too long before it comes to the carrier's lineup. The Nokia E55, also caught wandering through FCC's hallways, is an S60 smartphone, featuring a form factor only 9.9mm thick, and easily proving itself as a compact QWERTY phone heading at full speed stateside.

The first of the new phones, the Nokia E72, comes to the market with full HSPA on the 850 and 1900MHz frequencies, as well as with quad-band EDGE and HSPA 2100. The tri-band 3G (850/1900/2100MHz) support suggests that the device is AT&T-bound, so it might not be too long before it comes to the carrier's lineup. The Nokia E55, also caught wandering through FCC's hallways, is an S60 smartphone, featuring a form factor only 9.9mm thick, and easily proving itself as a compact QWERTY phone heading at full speed stateside. For the time being, there are no details on when the handset will become available for purchase !

In a little over a month Microsoft plans to kill a mash-up tool that was introduced in 2007. When it unveiled Popfly, the Redmond company aimed to provide a project that would essentially democratize the development of mash-ups. Now the software giant is warning those who jumped aboard and used Popfly to build content that the tool will be shut down come August 24th, 2009. The reasons for killing Popfly are directly related to the strategy designed to help the company deal with the worldwide economic downturn. “Thanks for stopping by.

HTTP:: Dell Updates the Inspiron 13 with New Design
--------
Dell has been busy these recent couple of days announcing its new Vostro All In One desktop for business users and the new Inspiron 17 laptop. Following these announcements, it looks like the Round Rock, Texas-based PC vendor has also rolled out an updated version for its ultraportable Inspiron 13, providing users with a slightly improved exterior design. Unfortunately, it appears that, at this time, the new design has been made available only in Singapore.  According to Engadget, the new Inspiron 13 has recently surfaced on the company's Singapore site, featuring a new external design and some improved technical specifications. The design appears to have borrowed some elements from the PC vendor's Inspiron Mini and Studio lines, making the laptop thinner and lighter.

Rumors are flying again with an “imminent†deal between Yahoo and Microsoft after several months of relative calm. The talks between the two companies are believed to be close to finalizing, with top Microsoft executives flying to Yahoo's headquarters in Silicon Valley and a deal announcement coming as early as within a week, claims the All Things Digital blog. Yahoo has been in talks with Microsoft for a few years now, with the Redmond giant either bidding for the whole company or just some properties, coming very close to a deal a couple of times but so far nothing has materialized. In February last year Microsoft made an unsolicited takeover bid for Yahoo offering $44.6 billion but was initially rejected by Yahoo. Further attempts were made with Microsoft reportedly increasing the bid with $5 billion; however, Yahoo decided to hold out for even more.

Hollywood has been “flirting†with the gaming industry for quite some time, as either movies were made based on games or games were based on movies that were scheduled to be launched or were already extremely popular. One of the most recent examples of cooperation between the two branches of the entertainment industry is Transformers: Revege of the Fallen. The summer blockbuster has achieved some huge sales at the box office, but sadly, when it came to the video game published by Activision, things weren't so rosy, as not even the two factions of robots could make for an interesting experience for many gamers. This is exactly why Activision has now announced that a downloadable expansion pack is in the works for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It will bring ten new characters, new maps and a new difficulty mode, for those who felt that the original title wasn't challenging enough. But don't think that it will arrive for every version of the game, as the develope!

The rapper was en route to see a ball game when the pilot was forced to do an emergency landing in Kansas City, after which all the passengers were sent into quarantine when one of them fell ill, PR Inside reports. It was the “flight from hell†for the rapper and actor, the publication says, but he handled the situation like a true star. Panic took over the passengers when one of them said that he could smell smoke â€" so the pilot was forced to land the plane immediately in KC. Trouble had just begun, though, since the moment the passengers set foot on ground, one of them fell ill. Since he had just returned from a trip outside the US, they all had to be quarantined, including LL Cool J. “The pilot took the decision to make an emergency landing in Kansas City. But thing!
