Popular searches on the Internet Wednesday include Dow Jones Industrial Average after U.S. and European stock prices plummeted on Tuesday.
The Dow reached its lowest level since March and extended its losing streak to eight days, its longest since the 2008 financial meltdown.
The selloff came even as a bill was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives to raise the federal debt limit, which avoided a Treasury default. Read More

Dell Streak 10 Pro Introduced In China | Apple iPad 2 3G Teardown | The company is betting on China to make its mark in the increasingly crowded tablet market
Dell on Thursday said that its Dell Streak 10 Pro tablet is now available in China.
The 10-inch tablet runs version 3.1 of the Android operating system, known as Honeycomb. It features a dual-core nVidia Tegra 2 mobile processor running at 1 GHz, 16 GB of internal storage, and a SDHC card slot that can accommodate up to 32 GB. Its 1200 x 800 WGXA screen supports 10-point capacitive multitouch input and includes both front-facing (2 megapixel) and rear-facing cameras (5 megapixel).
The device can handle 1080p video and includes GPS, gyro, accelerometer, compass sensors, as well as dual stereo speakers and two microphones.The Streak 10 Pro is being offered at a special promotional price of RMB 2,999, which is about $461 in U.S. dollars. That promotion ends Friday, July 29, and thereafter the normal price will be RMB 3,699, or about $562.
"The fact that we're launching it in China first underscores the importance of China to Dell overall," said Michael Tatelman, VP of consumer sales and marketing for the company, in a blog post. "More people are online in China than anywhere else in the world, and IDC estimates that more than 900 million people are expected to come online in China alone in the next 10 years."
Some of the many people in China are bound to buy Dell's tablet, but it remains to be seen whether the company can attract enough customers to alter the balance of power in the tablet market.
Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney expressed some skepticism about Dell's move. "China looks favorable on Android and if it's made by a Chinese manufacturer, it could do well," he said in an email. "Also, they may prefer the smaller size devices such as the 10.1 inch screen. But with over 200 tablets coming, Dell will have many challenges. So my conclusion is that they are going to have a rough time with this. Frankly, I think Dell needs to decide whether it might be too late to be in this business except as a niche player."
The Apple iPad has plenty of competition nowadays. Research firm Strategy Analytics reported earlier this month that Apple's iOS-based iPad accounted for over 94% of the global tablet shipments in Q2 2010, but only 61.3% in Q2 2011. Global Android tablet shipments meanwhile have risen from 2.9% to 30.1% during the same period.
But shipping a tablet is only half the battle. People have to buy them and, to date, they're still mostly buying iPads. As an example, Motorola said it expects to sell between 1.3 million and 1.5 million Xoom tablets this year, based on Q2 sales of 440,000. Apple sold 9.25 million iPads during the same period, the company's fiscal Q3. Read More

Counterfeit to the Apple core | APPLE MacBook Air notebook computer | Apple's Mac OS X | Thomas and Apple
Counterfeit to the Apple core | APPLE MacBook Air notebook computer | Apple's Mac OS X | Thomas and Apple
AN APPLE MacBook Air notebook computer, offered on eBay by a seller in Perth for just $599 - $500 less than the list price - was the bargain of the year, thought Tony Thomas, Melbourne journalist and Mac enthusiast, as he hit the ''buy now'' button.
The computer, shown on the eBay site to have an illuminated Apple logo on its lid and Apple's MacBook Air livery on its packaging, was, in fact, a fake. It ran not Apple's Mac OS X operating system but Microsoft's Windows.
''I was in Perth on my way home from Africa when I saw the MacBook Air on eBay,'' Thomas says. ''I snapped it up straight away, sure I had a wonderful bargain. I even emailed the seller, identified as Jake Gill at 'oz-sh0p' in the Perth suburb of Balga, suggesting I cab out to his place with the cash so I could take the machine home next day. He replied that it wasn't convenient and insisted I pay through PayPal.

If you're not on Grindr, you're either straight, married, or lying
If you're not on Grindr, you're either straight, married, or lying. Since its inception two years ago, Grindr has become the largest all-male social network, over 2 million worldwide users having downloaded the app that shows you who's in the vicinity and whether they look approachable.
You can then call on your animalistic instincts and sprint across the street for some hardcore pouncing (or discussions of the national debt, if you prefer) or just keep walking and waiting for something closer and better.
New York is Grindr's second biggest city (afterLondon), but the whole world seems to be taking to this thing like a lynx in heat, logging back on every time they're mobile.
Rather than try my luck at it, I went for some behind-the-scenes action, interviewing the network's founder/CEO. He's Joel Simkhai, an Israeli-born Tufts grad who launched Grindr on the iPhone, with versions now available forApple iOS, Android, and BlackBerry devices.
And lest you think this is all frivolity-based, Grindr sent messages to its New York users in June, urging them to contact the on-the-fence senators in their nabes and demand that they approve gay marriage. And no, the politicians didn't tweet back with their crotch shots.
Our interview:
Me: Hi, Joel. Tell me how Grindr works. I swear I'm not sure!
Simkhai: You create a profile. You don't have to give your name, your email address, anything. You log on and see a grid of photos of other users in order of distance. On the top left is the closest person to you.
You can go through these photos and start chatting and hopefully meet with someone.
Me: How does it know where every-one is?
Simkhai: They'll log in, they'll show their location to us, and our servers will do the math to figure out the relative distance. We don't share your specific location, but your distance. You'll see that someone is 500 feet away. It could be north, south, east, or west. Then you can talk and give the exact location if you like.
Me: And it's a big hit, right?
Simkhai: We're the largest destination for gay men. We have about 500,000 active daily users. Right now, there are 43,000 gays on Grindr as we speak.
Me: And they're all across the street! What differentiates you from Manhunt?
Simkhai: We don't allow adult photographs in the profiles. And we're about location in real-time—it updates as to where you are. Also, with Manhunt, you're at your house, sitting in front a computer. We're mobile. You're on a bus, you're at Duane Reade....
Me: Or you're on a bus going to Duane Reade. But do some people use Grindr for things other than sex, or will they need Duane Reade for some rash cream?
Simkhai: It runs the gamut. It's really what you make of it. We're a provider of technology.
Me: Do you think most guys that hook up have safe sex?
Simkhai: I don't have a good sense of that. Twenty years ago, HIV was very, very serious. Now it's still serious, but maybe not as serious. So maybe that's changed the mentality, unfortunately. But I think people should always be safe. There's lots of STDs. The risk is simply not worth it.
Me: Do you use your own product?
Simkhai: Always! I'm on it all the time. I've met lots of guys and made some good relationships and dated and had friendships.
Me: So you've hooked up from it?
Simkhai: I've met all kinds of people and have done all kinds of things.
Me: Hmm. Are you looking for a boyfriend?
Simkhai: I don't know. Can one look for a boyfriend?
Me: Absolutely. I've done it my whole life.
Simkhai: I can't say I believe in searching for love, or you'll end up with the wrong situation. Relationships are a lot of work. To make it worth it, you have to find the right person, not force it.
Me: Gosh, you sound so darned grounded. Don't you have a horrible dark side, like the Facebookco-creator?
Simkhai: I don't think so.
Me: Do you like being the guy who links all these people?
Simkhai: That's the best part of the job—essentially being a matchmaker. I meet guys who say, "I met this guy through Grindr, and thank you." That to me is motivating.
Me: And so is all that cash. Do you make more money from advertising or from the Grindr Xtra (premium service) subscriptions?
Simkhai: Half and half. Grindr Xtra is $2.99 a month.
Me: I always joked that I want to start Troll Grindr, which warns you when someone unattractive is across the street.
Simkhai: I think that's part of it. You can see who you want to meet and who you don't want to meet and navigate it. Maybe Troll Grindr should be our next project. [Laughs.]
Me: I want points! Actually, I mentioned that idea to someone and he said, "There already aretrolls on Grindr."
[Pause.]
Me: Tell me about your new app, Project Amicus.
Simkhai: It's a geosocial network that will allow gays, straights, everyone to meet the people around you. It goes beyond social orientation, gender, any of that. You can go on Facebook and talk to all the people you already know, but how do you meet new people? We'll hopefully launch this summer.
Me: So once again, gays started the trend?
Simkhai: Absolutely. And we were conscious of that with Grindr. Initially, we said, "Let's see what the gay community thinks. If they don't like this, nobody's going to like this."
Me: And they really, really like it. Gotta go! Gotta update my location!

News about wonder Lithium battery from German DBM Energy are sipping into the mass media place. We have our Catalyst and perfect storm for this generational boom in place: IEA admits that Crude Oil Peak has already happened in 2006; Shai Agassi shares economics of Oil, Auto and Electric Cars industries; and we have the new hype in the U.S. Lithium OTC market these days. There is no hype without interest. Serious players are coming into the lithium space now. Gas prices are pushing consumers to the Electric Cars and just few of them are already on our streets - more are coming. With this development from DBM Energy maybe even German automakers will wake up and for real will embrace the Electric cars, otherwise we should wait for announcement from another Chinese company about the breakthrough in Lithium batteries technology. Chinese companies are moving into the sector with State-level support and announced target to become the leader in Lithium batteries and Electric Cars.

TNR Gold has found a very aggressive and active strategic partner in Lithium space for its International Lithium IPO. After ten years in production of Lithium materials Ganfeng Lithium is moving into the Lithium Ion Batteries production as well. Now we can see how this Chinese company is building the hole in-house supply value chain for the Lithium Ion batteries.
