Busy busy busy. This one’s a bit late, I know :)

Last week didn’t really have a central theme. There were a few interesting developments though.

The VP of WebOS at HP is leaving HP. WebOS just can’t catch a break huh.

Over at IBM they figured the dust has settled around replacing CEO’s so this would be a good time to announce their own replacement. And wait… no mud? Whoa.

Nokia released their first win7 phone. And from what I gathered, it seems to have been received well. I’ve yet to see one myself though :)

An interesting tidbit was Mozilla releasing a special Firefox build with Bing as the default search engine provider. Mozilla currently gets most of their money from the Google as default search engine deal. Maybe they don’t want to depend on a single source of income?

As a followup on an earlier reported story, Sony will now actually buy out Ericsson’s stake in their partnership. So I guess the “Sony Ericsson” brand will slowly fade away.

And on the far end of the week Apple received a patent for slide-to-unlock. This is of course interesting because every mobile device uses a slide to unlock mechanism (although I personally prefer Androids grid pattern unlocking, but whatever). Let’s see how that one plays out in the all-out patent war.

Oh and have a look at this html parser in js. I found that pretty nifty :)

See you next week! No wait, this week. Oh noes confusion!
