CrunchGear Review: BlackBerry Storm for Verizon Wireless
The ‘iPhone killer’ label (which I hate using – BTW) as been thrown around since the first touch-screen device hit the market after the original iPhone was launched last year and, unfortunately, nothing has been able to live up to the hype. Both consumers (you) and techies (us) have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the Storm in the hopes that it would knock down the iPhone a peg or level the playing field. I don’t want to dash your dreams, but the Storm is not on par with the iPhone. It is, however,-
Qik And Strands Each Trim 10 Percent Of Staff
The cutbacks continue, even at seemingly healthy startups. Social recommendation engine Strands let exactly 10 percent, or 14 people go (7 in the U.S. and 7 in Spain), the company confirms. Strands has raised a total of $55 million, still employs 125 people, and is hiring for other positions. It also just announced a mobile version for Nokia S60 phones . Qik , which lets you stream live video from your cell phone, also laid off about 10 percent of its employees, which in its case amounted to five

Google Kills Lively
Even Google is getting into the downsizing spirit. It just announced that it is killing Lively, its browser-baseed virtual worlds that could be embedded into other Websites. Lively launched just last July. The death notice on the site says it will shut down on December 31, so we are adding Lively to the deadpool . Lively just never took off, and was extremely far afield for Google. We should have known something was up when we noticed that it didn't work with Google's own browser, Chrome.

How Can The Music Industry Be In Trouble With All This Free Promotion.
2007 person-to-person music downloads were worth a staggering $69 billion , and movie/television piracy continues to grow, says a new study. And all that free promotion didn't cost them a penny. At least, that's how Techdirt sees it . And I agree. Instead of embracing what might be the largest free marketing giveaway in the history of the world, the music labels instead sue their customers. And ask the social networks for handouts . Somebody over there needs to put their thinking cap on, quit screwing

Gmail Themes. That’s Totally Ninja.
Apparently a lucky few Gmail users had a "Themes" tab pop up under settings. No longer do you have to suffer through the boring-if-functional standard Gmail interface for the 16 hours a day that you keep the page loaded. Try "Ninja" instead.

Lonely Wrestlers Create Their Own Social Network
It's not easy being a wrestler. Inside the ring your pounding an opponent's head against the corner post, but outside the ring it's hard to meet people. Nobody really wants to be your friend. Not even on MySpace. They say their your friends, but they are not really your friends. Wrestlers aren't stupid. They know everybody thinks they are just a bunch of clowns. That's why the company that employs all the wrestlers you see on TV, World Wrestling Entertainment, created WWE Universe , a social network

Ian Rogers On The Death Of The Music CD Business: “I Don’t Care.”
We've written a lot about the death of the recorded music business , but in a keynote address to a music industry conference a couple weeks ago Topspin CEO Ian Rogers sketches out a different future. Rogers, the former head of Yahoo Music , correctly points out, as others have before him, that it is not the music industry that is dying. It is the CD business. And as far as the CD business going the way of the dodo, with sales of physical CDs declining and the growth of digital sales not making up

Yahoo Brings Glue To U.S.: A Plethora of Aggregated Topical Third Party Content
Yahoo Glue, a new search results page design that the company has been testing in India , is rolling out to the US market this evening. You can view it at glue.yahoo.com , although Yahoo says it is rolling out in stages, so sit tight if you don't see it. It's also a little different than the Indian version , and includes a number of resources beyond simple search results.
