Review: Elecite Scenic Theme for BlackBerry (Free...

There is no “today” screen or hidden icons which is fine by me as it does help the layout stay clean and uncluttered.

Socialscope.net Also Down
I don’t know what is going on today, but many social networking sites seem to be down. I can’t even get into the Socialscope website at the moment. My Socialscope BlackBerry app is also not working right now as it will not let me log into the Socialscope servers.
Twitter Down Due to DDoS Attacks.
Twitter’s extended downtime today, now lasting almost 2 hours, has a malicious cause. Twitter has revealed that it’s defending against a Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDoS), in which the target is typically saturated with so many fake requests that the victim is unable to return legitimate ones.
Knowing that the cause is a malicious attack does take Twitter off the hook to some degree –...

BlackBerry Tumblr App Impressions
This being the only tumblr app I’ve ever seen thus far for the BlackBerry, I had to try it out. I downloaded it from here: http://hippocamp.net/software/com_hippocamp_tumblr_app.jad.
It seems to be still in beta but most of the elements are in place. UI is very clean and easy to navigate with just 5 tabs along the top. The layout looks very much like the regular tumblr website interface.

The more I see Uncharted 2, the more I want to get a PS3. I’ve always been and multiplatform kind of guy but I just never made the jump to a PS3. Sony really had some great games showing at this year’s E3.
