Last week we wrote about a break-through image scaling technology that took into account the content of the photo. The video demonstration that they provided was, in my opinion, nothing short of astonishing. Now one-week later we have a scaled down (no pun intended) Flash version created by a third-party.

She answered with:

Happy Blog Day! I’ve had this marked on my calendar for a few weeks now, and it’s hard to believe that it’s already here. So what is Blog Day?

According to a Reuters article published yesterday, Microsoft may be interested in purchasing BlackBerry maker RIM. While we know that Microsoft has an interest in the mobile market because of Windows Mobile, many people, including myself, never expected they’d immerse themselves this much into the Smartphone industry.
