- Registration of extensions ".torrent" and ".tor" in the Blackberry OS, allows you to open torrent files without starting the program

Переслать - RIM Says Canadian Carriers Enthusiastic After BlackBerry 10 Demos
RIM is continuing their roadshow with the two upcoming BlackBerry 10 full touch and QWERTY models. They have been showing them to carriers around the world along with a select few people in the media. The latest to see them is Daniel Bader from MobileSyrup who was given a demo behind closed doors while at a BlackBerry 10 Jam event in Waterloo last week. He cannot talk about names, specifics, or specs but he promises that "rest assured you should be very excited."
I won't spoil his writeup but I recommend checking it out at MobileSyrup. He also reconfirms what AllThingsD reported about carriers being extraordinarily enthused by their demos of BlackBerry 10 devices.

Переслать - Dev Ports iOS Game to PlayBook in 2-3 Days
These are the kinds of stories that truly show the chops behind QNX, the PlayBook, and BlackBerry 10. @harkal of Thoughts Serializer posted about him porting his iOS optimized game to the BlackBerry PlayBook. He confirmed that he did the port in only 2-3 days which is impressive. What is even more impressive is that the port runs, or at least launches, 30% faster on the PlayBook than it does on the iPad 2. (not the New iPad but that processor really improved graphics GPU not CPU performance) Both of the devices run dual core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU's and the video below showing it all even though both games are running at 60fps.

The interesting part is that the PlayBook is 30% faster even including the animations for launching the game. Check out @harkal's post on how iOS ate dust on his blog along with his porting experience.

Переслать - Apple Wins a Crushing Victory in Samsung Patent Wars
If you have not been under a rock for the last few months you are probably aware that Apple sued Samsung in a high profile patent lawsuit. The big news hit right before the weekend that the jury in the trial found Samsung to be in violation of multiple Apple patents with their headlining products along with a $1.05 billion assessed in damages. The $1.05 billion in patent damages are infinitesimal if you consider what this means for all other Android vendors. Samsung is currently the only Android vendor that is actually make money on the devices and now they will have to drastically change their strategy and devices. Samsung also failed to win a single one of their counter claims.
I have had quite a few people ask me what this means for RIM and it seems like this might be the beginning of a trend that can possibly be beneficial for RIM and Microsoft's struggling Windows Phone platform. Apple can use this verdict to win multiple injunctions against Samsung products in the US and may coerce the remaining Android vendors, such as HTC and LG, into settlements that could cripple their Android products that are already bleeding money. This will also force Android vendors to focus on reworking their current in market products and delay their future products to avoid Apple's claims and threats of injunctions.
There is no word on if Apple will go after RIM along with Windows phone but many of the patents found against Samsung are not relevant for BlackBerry products. For example, the look of the homescreen on BlackBerrys is different and so far the same has been true with the bezel. Pinch to zoom, one finger scrolling, double tap to zoom, and the rubber band effect may possibly cause RIM to adopt different effects.
All in all it looks like this will be an exciting week. What do you think? It also makes me wonder if Google will fire back escalating this into its own "mutually assured destruction" scenario.
PS: This is a pretty big deal in the technology patents world. This is one of those landmark cases that will probably even overshadow the NTP vs RIM settlement that dealt RIM a staggering patent settlement years ago.
