Are Ubuntu's Glory Days Over?

If there's any lesson to be learned in high school, it's that popularity is a fickle mistress. One day, you can be riding high on the strength of your awesome gaming skills, say, and the next, a fleeting fashion faux pas can bring you crashing down again. But maybe that was just Linux Girl. In any case, popularity is nothing if not changeable, as Ubuntu has aptly demonstrated in recent weeks.

Skype 5.3 for Windows released, improves mobile video call quality

Version 5.3 of Skype for Windows has just been released, with the main emphasis of the new release being improved call quality, and the quality of video received by mobile Skype users. Presumably one party of the video call must be using Skype for Windows 5.3, though.

Beyond improved call quality, not much has changed. You can now see your friends' presence icons when contact cards are collapsed, and the topic editing button is now always visible on the conversation header. For a complete list of changes, hit up the Skype Garage blog.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G up for pre-order from Verizon, finally

For a device so focused on speed, the 4G version of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 has sure taken its sweet time. The LTE-enabled Honeycomb tablet, which was initially set for a June 8th pre-order, is finally available through Verizon's site -- well, finally available for pre-order, that is. The slick Android device should ship within four to six weeks, according to the carrier, and will run you either $530 or $630, depending on whether you go in for the 16- or 32GB variety -- oh yeah, and then there's the two-year data plan. Whoever said the waiting is the hardest part clearly never signed a mobile data contract.

The Mopha Bag Is a Waxed Canvas Bike Tool Toter [Bikes]

Fitting a tube kit, Allen wrench, tire tool, phone, and wallet into a pair of skinny jeans is nigh on impossible and carrying a backpack just to hold these small items is way inefficient. Instead, roll them up before you roll out. More »

Keen On? Michael Fertik: Why Data is the New Oil and Why We, the Consumer, Aren?t Benefitting From It

As he told me when he came into our San Francisco studio earlier this week, Reputation.com CEO & Founder Michael Fertik is ?ecstatic? about our new reputation economy. In today?s Web 3.0 personal data rich economy, reputation is replacing cash, Fertik believes. And he is confident that his company, Reputation.com, is well placed to become the new rating index of this digital ecosystem. But Fertik isn?t ecstatic about the way in which new online products, such as facial recognition technology, are exploiting the privacy of online consumers. Arguing that ?data is the new oil,? Fertik believes that the only people not benefitting from today?s social economy are consumers themselves. Rather than government legislation, however, the solution, Fertik told me, are more start-up entrepreneurs like himself providing paid products that empower consumers in our Web 3.0 world of pervasive personalized data.

Nikon shows off concept cameras in France, says hello to tomorrow

Nikon engaged in a bit of conceptual product show-and-not-as-much-tell at the French Cité des sciences et de l'industrie exhibit, Hello Demain (Hello Tomorrow). The four prototype cameras on display ranged from the clearly defined -- a fully customizable SLR that swaps the lens, grip and LCD screen at your whimsy -- to the mysterious webcam dongle-ish i-Ball of unknown purpose, to a mundane six-inch screener. But the real étoile of this forward-facing soirée is that Multi-Ball cam -- guaranteed to be a panoramic morning-after hit (or cause for much hungover consternation). While these concepts reside proudly in the province of tomorrowland, it's only a matter of time before they digitally immortalize your precious visage. Check the source for additional protoplastic photographic proof.

The Engadget Show - 022: Gadgets get smashed, Rick Karr talks broadband, Peter Rojas and Ryan Block tell us what moved them

The Engadget Show is back! Last time it was gaming, this time we go for something with a bit more variety. The show starts with Tim and Brian taking a quick look over some of the month's biggest gadgets, like the Samsung Chromebook Series 5, the HTC EVO 3D, and a pair of new readers: the Barnes & Noble Nook WiFi and the Kobo eReader Touch Edition.

After that it's sledgehammer time, where Brian and Terrence work through some pent-up frustrations by beating the silicon out of a series of durable gadgets, all captured in delicious slow motion. Some survived, some did not. Then, we all learn a lesson as Rick Karr stops by to talk about the (sorry) state of US broadband compared to the rest of the world.

Next, we take it to the streets to ask you what your most important gadgets are before being joined in the studio by the Engadget founder Peter Rojas and Editor Emeritus Ryan Block, the duo behind GDGT, to talk about the gadgets that most affected them in their time at the site and beyond, also taking some questions from eager audience members about, well, gadgety things. Finally, we all get carried deep into the aural environment of Chrome Canyon.

It's a tech-heavy, action-packed show this week that you won't want to miss. So what are you waiting for? Watch it now! The video stream is above, or download the show in HD below!

Spare No Expense on the Jurassic Park Trilogy Blu-ray October 25th [Video]

It was one of Hollywood's first modern CGI marvels, but it's taken quite a while for Universal to say the magic word on a Blu-ray release for the Jurassic Park (for now still a) Trilogy. No more—it's out this October 25th. Nature found a way. [Engadget] More »
