Engaget - Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 review

The ThinkPad Tablet 2 is the best low-powered hybrid you can buy right now.

The conclusion is rather impressive comparing with the first Lenovo attempt giving the world a ThinkPad Tablet that I personally can call a complete failure. But lessons seem to be learned and we got an impressive device now, worth buying.

Finally Globalstar launched the last batch of six of their second generation satellites to complete the new constellation of total 24 satellites. When final six satellites enter operation, we'll get back an ability to have voice and data coverage as before or probably better.

Ed Brill - IBM Notes/Domino 9 Social Edition public beta planned for December 14

I watched the webcase and the only regret that it was too short in demo. I would love to see some more insight of the coming features. It worries me a little that embedded experiences are shown most in iNotes and not in the client although it looked quite unified in terms on the UI and this is a good sign. However old 8.0 toolbar is dissonant with the rest of the Connections 4 UI style, it is not good. I would also prefer that some guidelines and APIs would be published ASAP to use embedded experience for ISVs so we can adjust our software to post to the activity stream. I know it is much alike Open Social but still would prefer some working samples specifically for Notes and iNotes.

I also realize that the whole Eclipse thingy shades away slowly but steadily, no real progress in CA development seeing also how unpopular this technology got in Notes world although I see it mostly as IBM fault to spread proper documentation. It seems that XPages is the only way to go and it was said loud during the webcast. I am pretty sure composite applications will not be supported by the browser plugin either.

How entrepreneurs will reform the banks | Features | LondonlovesBusiness .com

A wave of radical new firms is challenging the old order

Who will really reform the banks?

A royal commission? Occupy London protestors? My bet is that when the revolution comes it will be entrepreneurs who do the damage.

Entrepreneurs will use the internet to reinvent finance. The way firms raise money, FX, asset-based finance, seed capital… all are going to be turned on their heads by clever new business models made possible by the web.

Globalstar third 2011 launch to be in December

Москва. 13 сентября. INTERFAX.RU - Запуск шести американских спутников связи "Глобалстар-2" с космодрома Байконур, намечавшийся на октябрь, будет отложен на два месяца из-за необходимости перепроверки двигателя РД-0110 ракеты-носителя "Союз-2-1А", сообщил "Интерфаксу-АВН" во вторник источник в ракетно-космической отрасли.

via www.interfax.ru

Russian new agency Interfax reports that according to their sources the third 2011 Globalstar launch is postponed for two months and will be scheduled around 10 December 2011. This is caused by the crash of Progress spacecraft earlier this year. It means that Globalstar will be unable to complete its second generation constellation by the end of 2011 as planned originally.

Globalstar October launch postponed

After the last crash of Progress space craft, an officials started to investigate the reasons of it. Many commercial launches use the same Soyuz vehicle and Globalstar planned to have their third 2011 launch of another six second generation satellites on 8 of October seems to change their plans. At night of 9 September the commision declared their results and Globalstar prefers to wait until another Progress will be launched and only after that schedule their new launch. Soyuz 2.1a with Fregat acceleration module and RD-0110 engine that will be used for the Globalstar launch is exactly the same model as crashed Progress had. Some sources say that Russians are trying to convince Globalstar to keep the original schedule but this is not confirmed. The new launch schedule is expected to be presented on Tuesday 13 September.
