The larger 9.7-inch screen Apple iPad tablet hit the 1 million sold mark just one month after going on sale in April. Nonetheless, the Samsung sales results show that the Android-based, 7-inch touchscreen of the Galaxy Tab is indeed popular as well.

Individual carriers recently said they were encouraged by Galaxy Tab sales, but did not reveal any specific figures.

Marie Claire launched its own iPad app Thursday, making its last six issues available to owners of the device.
The July to November issues are mere PDF scans of the print version of the magazine. The December issue is likewise primarily a PDF edition of the magazine, but but it adds a few additional features that make it far more interesting (and thus, worth writing about), such as a “living” (i.e. video) cover of actor Emma Watson, embedded behind-the-scenes video, a short film, an interactive quiz, 360-degree rotations of certain items and streaming music clips.
In terms of design and engagement, it’s not even close to the likes of Wired, Esquire or Martha Stewart Living, but the additions are nevertheless well done.
I especially enjoyed Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coales’s video address to the reader, which was so much more personable and engaging than the typical’s editor letter, and a short film entitled “The Suitcase,” which beautifully combines advertisers’ clothing with a light narrative to create new kind of fashion spread.
The December issue is available for $3.50 through the Marie Claire app [iTunes link]. Subscriptions are available for $10 per year through the app.
The world's favourite social networking website, Facebook has launched a new messaging service, which allows the users to communicate with people outside the social network.
The new messaging system will provide a '@facebook.com' e-mail address to users. The new system will integrates all web and text-based communications and works directly in the Facebook page.
Texts, email or instant messages will all come into one 'feed' or 'social inbox' and users can respond in any way they want. Users can respond to messages via an instant message or email.
The entire conversation histories will be stored in Inbox, which users can check at any time. Now Facebook users can connect with other people with e-mail or messaging other than the current system of posting messages on profile page and internal messaging service.
"This is not an email killer. This is a messaging systemthat includes email as one part of it," said Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO.
"Maybe we can help push the way people do messaging more towards this simple, real time, immediate personal experience. Email is still really important to a lot of people. We think this simple messaging is how people will shift their communication," he added.
"We really want to enable people to have conversations with the people they care about," Facebook's director of engineering Andrew Bosworth said.
The new service will be rolled out in coming months for Facebook's 500 million plus users with a @facebook.com address.
The new e-mail service will be a threat to internet giant Google's mail service Gmail and Yahoomail.
The US space agency NASA has plans to build a Hypersonic jet that would enable passengers to fly from London to New York in just 45 minutes!
The craft would travel at an incredible five times the speed of sound, reaching Mach 5, which when you compare it to the iconic jet Concorde that completed its first supersonic flight in 1969 flying at twice the speed of sound, Mach 2, these are phenomenal speeds!
Scientists at NASA are planning to spend $15 million (9.25 million) over the coming three years to finalise the project and although the aircraft is designed with the purpose of flying in space, if it were to be considered for commercial passenger flights it could see travelling times drastically cut for example; passengers flying from New York to Sidney, Australia, could see their journey reduced from the current time of 21 hours to a mere two and a half hours.
The NASA Aeronautics 2010 proposal states: “Space access launch vehicles must be lightweight, fully reusable and easily maintained if low-cost access to space is to be achieved.”

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has sold 12% of his stake in the tech giant in a transaction worth over $1.3 billion.
According to a filing with the SEC, Ballmer has sold 49.3 million Microsoft shares over the last three days, bringing his total ownership to 358.9 million shares, or approximately 4.2% of the company. Essentially, he sold 12% of his shares at a price between $26 and $28.
Knowing that the media would notice such a large transaction, Ballmer posted a statement on Microsoft’s website, saying that he sold $1.3 billion in Microsoft shares for financial diversification and tax planning.
Here is Ballmer’s statement:
“Even though this is a personal financial matter, I want to be clear about this to avoid any confusion. I am excited about our new products and the potential for our technology to change people’s lives, and I remain fully committed to Microsoft and its success.”
He additionally stated that he intends to sell more shares — up to 75 million — before the end of the year. That means he could potentially sell 25 million more shares of the company.
Perhaps by coincidence, Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates also sold 1 million of shares, worth approximately $27.2 million.
