Ordered the Blackberry Storm today- review when I get my hands on it...

OK I did some research and I actually went ahead and bought the Blackberry Storm today (had to order from Verizon over the phone since it is on back-order until December 15.) I have been holding on to an ancient Blackberry and have been much maligned by co-workers, but as I said before, I am an early adopter but also a pack-rat, and I will hold onto a device as long as it keeps working and until an alternative can provide a step-level improvement in functionality (at least 50% better if not 100%). I think this has happened with the BB Storm, since it is an iPhone killer with a touch-screen, but also has all the phone and business email/apps one would expect from RIM (at least I hope)-- and it works on Verizon, which has the best network coverage of all the major carriers. Anyhow, I will do a full review when I get it. It only cost me $99 after $50 mail in rebate, and a $100 long-term customer discount. :-)

Don’t close the door on brick-and-mortar stores just yet

You know what the hardest part about shopping is? Getting in the store. Spending money, even if you don’t have a lot of it, is crazy easy. Giving me even the slightest push to purchase a product, like offering a 10 percent off coupon, which barely even covers the sales tax, is often all it takes to get me to go from red to green on a purchasing decision. I recently pre-ordered NCAA Football 2013 at an online retailer just because they were offering a deal to get the game for $15 off retail, even though if I waited and bought it used in six months, it’d probably be even cheaper than that. ...

SNB considers capital controls if euro falls apart

A safety construction sign stands outside the Swiss National Bank building in Bern ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland is drawing up plans for emergency measures including capital controls in case the euro collapses although it does not expect to need them and will continue to defend a cap on the franc in the meantime, the head of the central bank said. "We must be prepared just in case the currency union collapses, although I don't expect that," Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan, who predicted the euro zone crisis in his 1994 doctoral thesis, told the SonntagsZeitung newspaper. ...

Samsung Galaxy S III shines as this year’s biggest Android launch

It’s no shocker the Samsung Galaxy S III launch has been the talk of the town this week. Officially hitting stores May 29th, device pre-orders have taken off on Amazon and other retailers. The arrival of the Galaxy S III may have deterred other manufacturers from launching smartphones this week, but the Android PC market is still heating up. VIA has unveiled the APC 8750 with a low price to match its small stature. Even tinier is the MK802 from Rikomagic: a $74 computer hardly bigger than a thumbdrive.
