Funding brings at-home STD tests closer to reality
It's an idea that's been around the medical block a time or two already, but so far, no one has really stepped up to the plate in an effort to make at-home and on-the-go STD testing a mainstream reality. According to a new Guardian report, however, a grand total of seven entities (including the Medical Research Council) have moved to fund development in the space. The UK Clinical Research Collaboration is the end result, with

Symbian Foundation winding down operations?
2010 hasn't exactly been a banner year for Symbian , with Symbian^3 getting lipstick-on-a-pig reviews via the just-launched Nokia N8 , top-tier supporter Samsung moving on , and chief exec Lee Williams either quitting or being shown the door . On that note, it comes as little surprise that doomsday rumors are starting to swirl -- and The Register is citing a "source close to Symbian" as saying that new CEO Tim Holbrow is under orders to square things away for closure while some employees have apparently already been offered severance packages.

webOS 1.4.5 is out, promises to make your wildest minor bugfix dreams come true
Palm's touting that webOS 1.4.5 is now out and about, though its support page for the version is a wacky hodgepodge of Sprint and SFR versions of the update -- perfect for French expats living in the good ol' US of A, we suppose. Odds are very good that this new build isn't going to blow you away, but hey, an update's an update: you'll get "minor fixes and enhancements" for use with the PDK , a text field fix for the browser, a "rare problem" involving podcast downloads, and that's about it. The optimist in us wants to believe that the utter lack of innovation in this latest update is a sign that most of Palm's brain trust is invested in engineering fresh hardware at the moment -- right, Palm?
